What it’s like to work at Binswanger:
The company has a long reputation for bringing innovation and personality to the commercial real estate industry. Formed during the height of the Great Depression, the company has been in business for over 90 years and has weathered many low economic points yet continues to thrive. Part of the reason is that the people in the company love what they do and appreciate all of the opportunities available to them as Binswanger employees. After 90 years as a family-owned business, in July of 2017, the company became employee-owned empowering a broader group of people to steer the company strategy and increase their earning potential. This restructuring kicked off a new era for Binswanger and has strengthened the team’s desire to remain a global leader in commercial real estate while doing so in a way that’s fun, exciting, and rewarding for every single employee.
