Brian Roer

Brian is a co-founder and owner of Roers Companies. He started his career in real estate 15 years ago, purchasing single-family homes, duplexes, and student housing around the U of M. After gaining his CPA license in 2002, Brian co-founded Anderson & Roers CPAs, in which he held 50% partnership until launching Roers Companies with brother Kent Roers in 2012.

Today, Brian oversees operations for Roers Cos., working closely with the firm’s finance, marketing, and property management leaders to drive revenue growth. He works alongside the executive leadership team to set the vision and strategy for the company, which is poised to reach a total of $2 billion in real estate and 10,000 units developed by 2023. The sustained combined growth of Roers Cos. and its Core Living property management division has earned the companies a position on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s most successful private companies for three consecutive years.

In the Twin Cities, Roers Cos. has become known as an industry in two impressive lists compiled by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal. The firm ranked No. 33 on the 2020 Fast 50 list of growing metro-area companies and No. 3 among the area’s largest commercial real estate developers in 2021’s annual ranking.

Brian has also earned individual honors in recent years. In 2018, Brian was named a Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal “40 Under 40” honoree. In 2021, he and Kent Roers were named as finalists in the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards for the Heartland region.
