Zoe Wilkens brings a dynamic blend of enthusiasm and expertise to her role as Transaction Manager at ERES Companies. With a robust background in real estate financial modeling and a comprehensive grasp of mortgage loan processes and debt modeling, Zoe is poised for a successful transition into commercial real estate.
Prior to joining ERES in 2024, Zoe worked at Key Mortgage Services as an Appraisal Desk Coordinator in the Chicago metropolitan area. Her immediate success in the role led to a rapid promotion to Business Relationship Manager & Loan Officer Assistant. In this position, Zoe notably enhanced the lead conversion rate and boosted new business opportunities by 20% through the establishment of effective business relationships.
Early in 2023, Zoe moved to Naples, FL, where she obtained her real estate license. She negotiated a significant commercial lease deal within her first 5 months, which helped to generate $10K in additional business revenue for her client within the first two weeks of occupying the unit.
Zoe earned her BBA in Finance from Loyola University Chicago’s Quinlan School of Business in 2022. She is currently advancing her expertise by completing the BreakIntoCRE continuing education course, focusing on further enhancing her financial modeling skills.
In addition to her professional achievements, Zoe currently serves as an Executive Board Member & Social Media Manager for the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Chicago Young Adult League (YAL). She is also an active participant within the Naples Area Board of Realtors and many SWFL Chambers of Commerce.
Zoe enjoys spending her free time attending exotic car meets, weight-lifting, Pure Barre workouts, and finding the best spots on the Gulf Coast to jet ski.
