ABOUT
Tailor-made real estate investments founded on integrity.
Blair Eklund founded Bespoke Holdings, Inc. in 2017 to offer tailor-made real estate investments founded on integrity and built for sound potential returns. Like a custom suit, Bespoke investments are expertly designed, aligned with current trends, and handled with experience and care
How we do it
- VALUES DRIVEN
- VALUES GIVEN
Bespoke’s real estate investments are “a marriage of investing money and working with people’s lives,” says CEO, Blair Eklund. Trust and transparency are key. Bespoke builds partnerships with like-minded investors who are curious about real estate and desire long-term holding periods, passive income, and sound potential returns. Bespoke co-invests in each property with a primary focus on investor returns; fees are charged only after investors are paid. Bespoke Holdings does not have a brokerage license and will not threaten broker commissions, and brokers are welcome to invest in any syndicated property. Eklund founded Bespoke Holdings with the desire to build a community of spirited, trusting, and intentional investors.
“Saying what you mean and meaning what you say is at the core of the Bespoke model.”
– Blair Eklund, CEO
Bespoke’s unique property vetting process involves rigorous stress-testing and market research to syndicate sound investments with high return and limited risk. Eklund treats investors’ money like his own and invests his own money in every property. “I am humbled when someone invests with us,” says Eklund. “It is putting a lot of trust in Bespoke, and I take that very seriously.”
Bespoke Holdings’ customized investments go beyond the initial purchase. With diligence, care, and a strong desire to continuously improve, Eklund is building a community of confident and successful investors, brokers, tenants, and employees.
Our Leadership Team
We bring over 60 years combined experience in commercial real estate investments and property management to every aspect of our company.
Blair Eklund
CEO & FOUNDER
Certified Financial Planner™
Chartered Financial Analysis, Level II Candidate
Blair Eklund grew up watching his father and grandfather run a semi-tractor trailer manufacturing company in Muskegon, Michigan. He was raised to embrace honesty, loyalty, and diligent work from the generations that ran the family business. Eklund parlayed that work ethic and business sense into a decade of profitable trading on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. In 2010, he leveraged that capital to switch gears and focus on his passion for real estate. By 2014 he had successfully ventured into the commercial domain where he found a hole in the investment world; a hole he filled with the 2017 launch of Bespoke Holdings, Inc.
Eklund’s business acumen is evenly matched by his dedication and commitment to the people in his life, professionally and personally. Eklund always puts investors before himself, values those relationships above all, and sees his tenants as partners, supporting and mentoring their businesses. He is committed to his community through his roles in numerous nonprofits and is an especially dedicated family man. It is that balance between strength of expertise and of values that defines Bespoke Holdings’ approach.
