WiscoREIA’s Hayward Meeting Always Meets on the 3rd Wednesday Month from
5:30 pm - 8:15 pm!
Hosts: Amanda Wilson and Marcus Eytcheson

Amanda Wilson is an alumna of the UW–Madison School of Business and the James A. Graaskamp Real Estate Program. She is an active member of the Wisconsin Real Estate Alumni Association (WREAA), WiscoREIA, and the founder of the Hayward Lakes REIA.
Since 2012, Amanda has owned and operated Deerfoot Lodge & Resort, a four-season family fishing resort on the Chippewa Flowage, Wisconsin's largest wilderness lake in Hayward, Wisconsin - an entrepreneurial endeavor that continues a cherished family vacation tradition and also launched her real estate investing journey. Over the years, she has expanded her portfolio to include storage, commercial, and residential rental properties, all driven by a mission to make the Hayward Lakes area an even better place to live, work, and play for generations to come.
When she’s not chasing real estate deals, you’ll likely find Amanda chasing muskies in her Lund Pro-V, either on the Chippewa Flowage or waters across the country.
