What it does:
A FINRA registered broker-dealer and diversified real estate company that buys investment grade, institutional property, sells fractional interests to baby boomer investors and then manages it for them.

Why it's growing:
"We combine small, family-run business entrepreneurial values--always do what you say you are going to do, treat your customers like they are the last one you are going to see, and do good conservative deals--with high quality, institutional real estate expertise," says Principal and Co-Founder Brian Eliason.

What's noteworthy:
Many key employees have left the rat race of large metropolitan centers to live in the small resort town of St. Germain in Northern Wisconsin, home to Eliason. In this 12-month a year vacation spot, they enjoy a less hectic work environment, yet can still be part of the national institutional real estate world.
