Wigton has worked in the real estate industry for 12 years.
In 1995, he began his career with Century 21 Clark Properties, where he quickly became a top producing agent and bought into the business in 1998.
The work he has done since then has changed the real estate industry in Carson Valley.
In 2000, Wigton, along with his business partners at Clark Properties, Patty Clark and Shele Pandl, open a 18,000 square-foot real estate mall, which put all services necessary in real estate under one roof, including sales, property management, lending and title and home insurance. This real estate center streamlined and expedited the home sales process for buyers and sellers across the Carson Valley.
