Dream Big, Build Bold: Roers Companies’ Journey to National Leadership

Where It Began

Roers Companies was founded by brothers Kent and Brian Roers in 2012 as a response to a) the need for innovative multifamily housing solutions in fast-growing areas, and b) demand for unique real estate investment opportunities for private individuals. Recognizing this opportunity, Kent and Brian proactively engaged bankers, contractors, and investors to develop a sustainable financial model for each project. While Brian focused on crafting proformas and ensuring financial feasibility, Kent leveraged his experience in financial planning to navigate fundraising and investment strategies. The combination of their individual expertise and collaborative approach laid the foundation for Roers Cos.

Prior to establishing Roers Cos., Kent and Brian cultivated successful careers in separate sectors. Kent held a position as a financial planner, while Brian worked as a certified public accountant. Beyond their professional pursuits, the brothers owned rental properties together, gaining real-life experience in property management, maintenance, and the financial advantages of real estate investment. This combination of professional proficiency and firsthand experience with rental housing fueled their entrepreneurial spirit and ultimately led to the creation of Roers Cos.

Through regular client interactions, Kent recognized a growing interest in alternative investment options beyond traditional stocks and bonds. Clients frequently expressed a desire to participate in the real estate space alongside him, highlighting a potential market gap. This sparked a conversation with Brian. Together, they recognized the opportunity to transform their personal real estate endeavors into a full-fledged business. They identified a crucial void in the multifamily investment landscape: while individuals desired involvement in the sector, the only readily available path involved the challenges and burdens of direct ownership of individual rental properties. By establishing Roers Cos., Kent and Brian aimed to bridge this gap by developing institutional-grade multifamily assets and offering direct investment opportunities to everyday individuals.

Roers Cos. began with small multifamily developments made possible by dozens of friends-and-family investors. Since then, the firm has transformed into a company with a fully integrated model that includes in-house development, construction, property management, and asset management. Incorporating everything under one roof means more control over costs and outcomes for each project. Owning every major part of the process for each project also means investors can expect more visibility and transparency when partnering with Roers Cos.

Now an emerging national leader in real estate development and property management, Roers Cos. is dedicated to transforming multifamily housing. Roers Cos. elevates communities by developing sought-after multifamily housing (market-rate, workforce, active 55+, affordable) and managing them with industry-leading expertise.
