Robert Fransen
Bob Fransen is a real estate executive who directs Timberland Partners' investment and acquisition strategies.
Bob founded Timberland Partners in 1992, when he convinced a couple of commercial real estate friends to join him in acquiring a 46-unit apartment property. For many years he was a leader in the Twin Cities apartment brokerage field, first at CB Richard Ellis (now known as CBRE) and eventually forming his own apartment brokerage, Fransen Appert Real Estate Group, Inc.
