For Lindsay Gallagher, Fauna Justman and Rob Hostrawser, there’s no greater investment than real estate. And whether that’s new construction, resale property, land or commercial real estate, the journey to achieve that goal should be seamless.
Their two companies have just announced a merger, and the new company will operate as Elevate Estates Realty Co. - An Eldon Homes Division. Their previous companies before the merger were Lindsay Gallagher & Associates, of which Gallagher is executive broker, and Justman and Hostrawser’s company, Home Brokerage & Realty.
For both Gallagher and Justman, the new name Elevate Estates Realty Co. reflects the elevation of the entire real estate journey for their clients.
Elevate Estates is one of South Central Wisconsin’s largest-scale full-service real estate brokerages, uniquely positioned to serve buyers and sellers throughout the region and beyond.
Elevate Estates is the exclusive real estate brokerage representing Eldon Homes’ new construction offerings, too. Clients who build with Eldon Homes will benefit from integrated brokerage support, while Elevate Estates Realty Co. will continue to serve all buyers and sellers across the broader resale market.
“Our client-first culture, our attention to detail and our commitment to quality craftmanship is something we are both so proud of, so it just made sense to combine our strengths,” Justman said.
“This merger is not about expansion for expansion’s sake,” Gallagher said. “It’s about elevating the entire real estate experience, providing clients and homeowners with one trusted team that can guide them in new construction and resale, from first home to forever home, without compromise. Buying, selling and building a home or business can be a stressful experience. For us, the rapport we have with our customers goes above and beyond what someone thinks of as standard customer service.”
The partnership also positions Elevate Estates Realty as a leading authority in new construction and large-scale residential development, offering buyers direct access to award-winning home designs, premier neighborhoods and a streamlined experience guided by professionals deeply embedded in both the building and brokerage sides of the industry.
Gallagher said clients, homeowners and agents will benefit from the unified brand experience backed by deep local knowledge, proven leadership, market stability, continuity and confidence during growth. Realtors will continue to operate within familiar systems and leadership structures while gaining access to expanded resources, enhanced marketing platforms and new professional development opportunities.
“We are now providing our clients with a one-stop shop, no matter their specific needs. We will meet them where they are at that moment,” Justman said. “To have that one-stop experience means there’s less stress and feelings of being overwhelmed by the process. Our clients have access to all things real estate and building-related.”
Gallagher agreed.
“People want that personal relationship, that connection,” she said. “And now, we can give them the ability to reach further with their dreams, wherever they want to live. It truly is an elevated experience.”
