About Rolland Szabo

I’m a hybrid real estate professional and relationship-driven sales leader with 17+ years of experience across business development, acquisitions, capital raising, and investor relations — uniquely positioned at the intersection of sourcing deals and building investor partnerships that last.At my core, I’m a multi-faceted, family-oriented, people-first professional with a deep passion for sales, business development, and financial services. I thrive on challenge, operate with a “whatever it takes” mindset, and love turning cold leads into long-term relationships. I’ve spent over a decade cultivating connections with high-performing professionals across real estate, tech, and finance. Innovation and adaptability have guided my journey — allowing me to wear many hats, learn fast, and consistently exceed expectations. Whether in the office or out in the world, I’m energized by meeting new people, taking smart risks, and showing up every day ready to add value and drive results.On the investor relations side, I consistently brought in contributions from 5+ new accredited investors each month, helping raise over $15M in annual equity capital. From direct-to-seller campaigns to investor onboarding systems, I built scalable processes that accelerated growth on both the capital and acquisitions sides of the business.On the acquisitions side, I sourced and closed 1–2 off-market multifamily transactions monthly, averaging $15K+ in assignment fees, while leading outreach via MLS, PropStream, BatchLeads, KeyGlee’s proprietary platform, and referral networks. I underwrote deals, negotiated contracts, and led seller conversations with clarity and confidence. On the investor side, I guided hundreds of high-net-worth individuals through capital deployment, hosted webinars, and partnered closely with legal and finance teams to ensure smooth closings and a high-touch investor experience.Today, I focus exclusively on capital development at Wilkinson, leading investor relationship strategy, onboarding accredited investors into current offerings, and raising equity for large-scale multifamily acquisitions across high-growth U.S. markets.Whether I’m acquiring properties, raising capital, or developing client relationships, my focus remains clear: deliver value, build trust, and create long-term success for everyone at the table.
