Biographical Information I have lived in the Wilmington, North Carolina area since I was two years old, with the exception of the time I lived in Chapel Hill going to school. I have been married for over 25 years to Ashley Burton Wilson, and have two exceptional children. One is a graduate of UNC-CH living in Wilmington, and one is a graduate student at UNC-CH. Ashley is also a Realtor, we work together on the Wilson Team with Barbara Crawford and Lindsey Bridges. I have a diverse work background, having worked in advertising, steel, biomedical, and publishing. From 1993-2006, I was the owner/operator of Encore Publications, a local business that produced Encore Magazine and other specialty publications. After 13 years of successfully running that business I decided it was time for a change, and sold the company to Morris Multimedia. I have always been interested in the real estate business and enjoy working with people. I have been with Coldwell Banker Sea Coast since September 2007. Prior to that I worked for a year in Brunswick County real estate and development at Cape Fear Realty. I have lived her my entire life, so I know the region. I hope you'll consider me for your real estate needs. Testimonials (go here for more!) Top 3 reasons we would use Wade again: 1. Very personable- while remaining professional. 2. Excellent communicator- responded promptly to both phone calls and e-mail...and quick to pass along feedback from showings. 3. Honest. When we asked questions, we always felt like he was giving us a truthful answer (versus telling us what we wanted to hear). We felt like this was very important in getting a SOLD sign in our yard. —Dale and Mandy Middleton Boards I have served on include: Cape Fear Coast Convention and Visitor's Bureau Board, 1997-2002 (Board Chairman, 1999-2001); Greater Wilmington Chamber of Commerce Board, 1999-2001; DARE (Downtown Area Revitalization Board, 1997-2001; Lower Cape Fear Arts Council Board, 2002; Community Growth Planning Board, 200-2002; Lower Cape Fear Historical Society Board, 1995-2004 Education UNC-Chapel Hill, 1982-1987, BA in English / Journalism / Public Relations New Hanover High School, 1979-1982 Laney Real Estate Class, August - December, 2006 Spare Time In my spare time, I enjoy water sports, tennis, snowboarding, golf and soccer.

We met Wade when moving to Wilmington over a decade ago, and worked with him every time we, and the rest of our family, moved around in town. Extremely friendly and helpful, we can't say enough good things about him really.
Excellent at every step of process.
We had a fantastic experience working with the Wilson team! As out of state buyers, we knew we would be heavily reliant on our realtor -- not only to help us find a home, but to ensure that the due diligence and closing process went smoothly when we couldn't be there ourselves. Having purchased two homes before this, we've worked with several realtors in the past. The Wilsons are by far the best realtors we've ever worked with. They acted as our trusted advisors throughout the process, providing their professional opinion and helping us make decisions without pressuring us. We could not be happier with the choice we made to work with the Wilsons!
