Our Story:
Austin Wagner founded JAKKS Management and JAKKS Housing, NFP in 2020 to address a lack of modernization in the property management and affordable housing industries. Austin grew up around the affordable housing industry, allowing him insight into the incredible impact these properties have on not only their occupants but also the communities surrounding them.
Prior to creating JAKKS Management, Austin worked as a real estate agent for @properties and as Vice President at WDC Management, an affordable multifamily housing company.
To further his goal of community enrichment, Austin co-founded MW Design and Build in 2022, a multifamily design and build company focused on 4-unit properties for first time investors and homebuyers.
Austin graduated with a degree in finance and a minor in economics from Loyola University Chicago.
