Titan 360 to join RGI

On December 14th , an unprecedented event is coming together and once completed, it will be one of the largest, most experienced commercial real estate firms in the Southeast Minnesota region.

“It’s a natural fit,” said Nick Pompeian . “We’re really excited about the opportunity to not only continue our work with this group in the real estate business, but now we’re on the same team.”

The “it” Pompeian speaks of is the joining of Rochester’s leading commercial real estate firms, Realty Growth Inc. and Titan 360 (unrelated to Titan Development). It may seem an unlikely collaboration, as RGI is run by three “young” men, and at the helm of Titan 360 are three “veterans.”

But those involved say it’s anything but unlikely.

“What we’ll be able to do for people is unprecedented,” said RGI’s Dylan Carty . “It’s truly going to be a one-stop shop. Call and you’re going to get somebody who knows what they’re doing.”

RGI is a team of 7 real estate professionals? led by Bucky Beeman, Nick Pompeian and Dylan Carty. The Titan 360 team includes Leigh Ann Peltoma , Barb Phelps and Mark Steege . Tallied together, the group of 10 has well over 100 years of experience.

As of December 14, Peltoma, Phelps and Steege will work with the RGI team, and all three brokers are excited to join a growing company.?

“RGI has already set themselves apart from the masses,” Peltoma said. “What we bring to the table is a bit of experience and a lot of insight. It’s exciting for the community.” Steege is excited to have additional team members and said the joining of the two commercial real estate firms, “will definitely be a benefit to our clients.”

“I would guess we’ll be one of the largest teams in southeast Minnesota from a commercial brokerage standpoint,” he said. “We’ll have a wide range of experience levels and knowledge within our team”. Steege’s experience includes commercial development, financing, commercial management and a strong financial background as a CPA. He has held his broker’s license since 1995.

Phelps, who has 20 years of experience in commercial real estate said, “Joining forces with RGI will benefit clients tremendously. This business is all about servicing your clients.”??

In our preliminary meetings with RGI, their teamwork philosophy stood out”, she said. “They’ve got it figured out and we’ve never felt competition with this group. We feel we all have the same mindset as to how we approach real estate. How would that not benefit clients? We no longer have three people servicing the product, but a much larger team.”?

“There will be a lot of our RGI signs out there”, said Peltoma, who was licensed in 2004. She brings experience in retail and office leasing to the table at RGI.?

“I’m really excited about this. I think it’s going to bring a lot of energy and excitement to the commercial real estate market. It will be a lot of fun,” said Peltoma.

“Over the years, I have liked their approach to commercial real estate,” said Steege, who confirmed it was Titan 360 who jump-started the conversation with RGI to join forces. “It seems like the right time for Titan 360 to join RGI because they have a great team, including their support staff and marketing. They also have an outstanding social media presence that reaches a large audience.”

Steege noted that the RGI team has many years of brokerage experience under their belts. “We can add value to each other, and the team approach is something we practice here at Titan 360 as well. We’re excited to continue that with RGI.

RGI got its start in 1978 by founders, the late Ed Pompeian and the late Bill Kolb. It grew to be a very well-known name in the local business community. Beeman, Carty, and Nick Pompeian, joined around 2010 and grew it to what it is today.

The original firm which had formulated business deals with a handshake, now uses computers and social media. All involved credit Beeman with leading the social media angle of their business.

Bucky Beeman has continually brought a marketing edge that has helped RGI grow year after year. Beeman shared that the addition of these three real estate veterans will be the perfect way to keep RGI growing. He added, “I am honored to have such talented professionals, ready to join our growing brokerage.”

In 2014, Pompeian and Beeman purchased the brokerage from its founders. Carty came on board as well and now RGI has nine employees supporting the management and brokerage portion of the business. RGI’s brokerage experience includes building renovations, investment properties, and sales and leasing of commercial real estate in southeast Minnesota.?

Titan 360, meanwhile, got its start in August of 2020, with Phelps, Steege and Peltoma, coming together to create an incredible team of experienced brokers.

“This is going to be a big shake up,” Carty said of the two newly joined firms. “These three have been performers in the commercial real estate market for years. This puts us in the realm of being a powerhouse in commercial real estate in Rochester. I believe we are one of the most well-rounded, experienced brokerage firms in Southern Minnesota.”
