Home is both the product and the principle at the center of Wilkes Mortgage Group, a family-led business built by husband-and-wife team Henry Wilkes and Alexia Mogo. Their company reflects an alignment between personal values and professional execution, where the rhythms of family life inform how clients are guided through a significant financial decision. Balancing the demands of a thriving mortgage and real estate operation while raising five children, they have shaped a business defined by care and continuity.
Henry brings 24 years of mortgage industry experience to the firm, operating as the strategic anchor who secures financing and shepherds clients through approvals with clarity and precision. Alexia complements that expertise with five years on the real estate side, leading buyers through the search, negotiation, and purchase of their homes.
Together, they offer a start-to-finish experience designed to remove friction and fragmentation. “We’re a team,” Henry says. “We’re powered by different companies, but we work together every day.”
That cohesiveness, he notes, is the defining differentiator of their business, where the husband-wife duo operates as a single, synchronized unit. “Most of the time, the biggest problem in real estate is communication,” Henry explains. “There’s usually a gap. We don’t have that gap because we’re always connected.” That constant alignment, he emphasizes, translates into their client experience, designed to feel seamless and reassuring from first conversation to closing day.

According to Henry, their team is not built around volume targets, but around comfort and education. Henry likens their service standard to a hospitality mindset: every question answered, every step explained, every concern addressed before it becomes stressful. “The most important part of any business transaction is that somebody’s comfortable,” he says. Clients are guided through the logic of each decision, gaining confidence in the process itself.
With family-first values informing every aspect of their service, Henry and Alexia emphasize that they are parents before they are professionals, a mindset that defines how they structure their workdays and how they show up for clients. Their business operates around life rather than office hours, with accessibility extending from early mornings through evenings as needed.
According to Henry, flexibility is a product derived from years of balancing school schedules, sports practices, and client calls. Henry coaches his children’s football teams, and the family is present for milestones large and small, while still delivering a level of attentiveness clients rarely encounter.
That same sense of responsibility extends outward into the community. He notes that Wilkes Mortgage Group actively supports first responders, educators, healthcare workers, and military families by offering reduced rates and closing cost assistance as a gesture of gratitude. “We’re not a numbers-based company,” Henry says. “We’re based on people’s experience.”

At the center of the husband-and-wife’s passion for homeownership is a similar background. “We both came without inherited wealth or built-in opportunities, but we viewed real estate as a pathway to stability and generational progress,” Henry explains.
Helping first-time buyers is central to their mission, not only for the parents signing paperwork, but for the children who gain a room of their own and a sense of belonging. Those moments fuel the work. “Sometimes it’s the kids who are the most excited,” Alexia shares, noting the joy that comes with seeing families settle into a space they can finally call home.
Legacy is interwoven across every function in the Wilkeses’ household. “Our children already speak about being part of the business one day,” Henry says, explaining how that stands as a testament to the way family and work coexist in synergy in his household.
To Henry Wilkes and Alexia Mogo, success means creating something enduring, a platform that supports their family while empowering others to build their own. Ultimately, their real estate business stands as proof that when leadership is grounded in kinship and shared purpose, professional excellence can follow naturally.
