Russel Troesken, P.E. Email & Phone Number

I have been in the real estate business, one way or another, all my working life. I started by cleaning up job sites in Peachtree City when I was 13 years old. In high school, I started my own company that offered this same service on a contractual basis. In college, I interned with an environmental firm and started their erosion control installation division to help serve residential developers. Once out of college, my wife and I started a custom home-building company in Alexander City, Alabama. We had a LOT of fun building beautiful houses overlooking Lake Martin. When the "great recession" hit, we moved back to Canton, Georgia where I took a job for an architecture firm as a Civil Engineer. While I worked as an engineer, I kept a desire to get into real estate in a more tangible and personal way. It was and still is just a part of who I am. I LOVE it...but I knew it needed to be more personal. I wanted to share my experience with others and to see people love the experience of owning and investing in real estate as much as I do. So, in 2010, I obtained my Georgia Real Estate Salesperson license and soon after joined a small brokerage out of Woodstock. I was blessed to have work even through the housing crisis. Those experiences allowed me to be well-positioned when the market rebounded and am now the owner of a thriving business full of amazing clients! I now hang my license with Keller Williams Realty Partners here locally in Woodstock. I am also a member of the Georgia and National Association of Realtors® (the difference between an "agent" and a Realtor® is that Realtor's® adhere to a code of ethics....it elevates our business by putting the client first).I am also an investor. I own multiple commercial and residential properties with my wife and with a business partner. Investing in real estate is how we plan to change our family legacy. Investing smart is how we do it safely without being overleverged in bad deals. My engineering mindset really just means that I am a nerd at heart. So, I dive deep into the numbers on every deal. A big part of my job as a Realtor® is to help other investors either get started or grow their portfolios. I have so much fun running the numbers with other investors and helping them find the diamonds in the rough!
