The strength of a company is in its team.

Louis J. Andrew, Jr.

Owner/Chairman Emeritus

Real estate is my life’s work—I’ve spent over 45 years specializing in corporate and real estate law, and founded and grew two companies with a real estate focus—Guaranty Title Services and Info-Pro. My professional life is based on my core business philosophy of hiring the best people (and having them hire the best people) and demanding honesty in all business pursuits. To give back to the Fond du Lac, Wisconsin community I call home, I’ve been privileged to serve on numerous community and nonprofit organization boards. With a mindset that’s always been at 30,000 feet, my passion for flying has led me to serve on the board of the Experimental Aircraft Association, Inc. (EAA), and serve as Chairman of the EAA Executive Committee. On a more down-to-earth level, my wife Suzanne and I have raised five children and now enjoy sharing our love of sailing, cooking and reading with our beautiful grandchildren. Faith and family are dear to me, and sharing my talents—both professionally and personally—is an obligation I embrace.
