Aaron founded Leasing Pros with a conviction shaped by years on the owner's side of the table: multifamily owners deserve a partner who thinks like a developer, acts with urgency, and takes accountability for the whole problem. Over 15 years later, that founding vision has grown into a national owner's representative firm that has filled more than 15,000 units across 19 states, covering everything from initial lease-up and restabilization to construction, compliance, and inspections.

Beyond Leasing Pros, Aaron is the founder of Citadel Group, a multi-vertical holding company operating across commercial real estate, development, leasing, construction, and business growth consulting. Under the Citadel umbrella, he also leads Veritas Ventures, a multifamily real estate investment firm focused on acquiring and repositioning underperforming assets in the nation's highest-growth sunbelt markets. His experience as an active developer and investor gives him a perspective few owner's representatives can offer: he approaches every client engagement with the same ownership mindset he applies to his own assets.

With involvement in over 300 projects representing more than $3.5 billion in combined real estate value, Aaron's expertise spans project feasibility, construction management, asset revitalization, team leadership, and strategic marketing. He is also a board member and significant investor in Endurance Elite, a Twin Cities construction firm specializing in unit turns, roofing, siding, and exterior services for multifamily and commercial assets.

In his spare time, Aaron enjoys working out, traveling, hiking, scuba diving, and spending quality time with his family.

With over 10 years of experience in the industry, Tim has successfully driven occupancy goals for more than 250 projects across 19 states. His diverse expertise spans leasing, construction project management, marketing, market analysis, branding, and staff training.

Tim thrives in the fast-paced industry of multifamily housing, where he brings energy and focus to projects and consistently seeks opportunities to solve challenges and drive results.
