Our history
For 70 years, Gerrard-Hoeschler has provided the region with personalized residential and commercial real estate service. It all started with two La Crosse real estate pioneers—Jake Hoeschler, who founded Hoeschler Realty in 1950, and Bill Gerrard, who founded Gerrard Realty in 1954.
Seven decades later, our methods have changed, but our mission and approach to service remain the same. We will always empower our clients by standing by them, offering support at every step and regarding every sale or purchase as a one-of-a-kind event.
