Wilkins & Co. Salutes A Veteran

This is the kind of article that I just love to write. Hampton Wilkins and Wilkins & Co. Realtors are terrific people and they really love to give back to the community.

They’re helping him with his real estate needs and wanted to show him how much he is appreciated. Let’s take a look at what happened today.
