ROOKIE of the Year 2026Congratulations to Wilder Marroquin for being selected to receive the NCJAR Rookie of the Year Award. The Rookie of the Year Award is bestowed on a member who has been a REALTOR® for three years or less and displays exemplary work in both the business and community outreach sectors.

Wilder entered the real estate industry with a simple but powerful goal: to open doors for people who never thought homeownership was possible for them.

Having seen firsthand how many families hesitate to pursue the dream of owning a home because they believe their circumstances may stand in the way, Wilder was inspired to become a real estate professional—not simply to sell houses, but to educate, guide, and show people that they may have more options than they realize.

Helping families has become one of the most rewarding parts of Wilder’s career. He understands that purchasing a first home can feel overwhelming, which is why he makes it his mission to be there for his clients throughout the entire journey—from answering that very first question to negotiating the final terms of the deal.

In less than three years in the business, Wilder has successfully closed more than 30 transactions. To him, every transaction represents much more than a sale—it represents a family, a goal, and a story. Wilder is especially passionate about negotiation and believes his responsibility is not simply to get a deal done, but to advocate for the best possible outcome for every client he represents.

For Wilder, real estate is personal. It is about trust, relationships, and creating opportunities. Whether helping a first-time buyer receive the keys to their first home or helping a family take an important step toward building their future, Wilder approaches every opportunity with the same commitment and purpose.

Wilder is grateful to every client who has placed their trust in him, every family who has allowed him to be part of their journey, and everyone who has supported him along the way. His goal remains simple: to keep opening doors, one family at a time.

Wilder truly exemplifies what the REALTOR® “spirit” is all about, and we are very proud to have him as a member of our NCJAR REALTOR® family.
