What does it really take to grow from your first real estate deal into a full-scale company — without losing sight of your values or your people?
In this episode of Steel City Growth, host William Ilgenfritz sits down with Andrew Reichert, Founder & CEO of Burgo, to talk about building a real estate business from the ground up, investing in workforce housing, and leading a growing team with purpose.
Andrew shares how his journey started with a single duplex, how discipline and long-term thinking shaped his growth, and why focusing on people — not just profits — has been key to scaling sustainably.
You’ll learn:
• How Andrew got started in real estate with no cash, no credit, and no experience
• Why workforce housing is often overlooked — and why it matters
• What it means to scale a business without “going corporate”
• How leadership changes as your company grows
• Why investing in people is just as important as investing in property
• Lessons learned from early mistakes and finding focus as a founder
