About Us
Our Story: A Tribute to the Late Herman Airst
Airst Real Estate Partners is dedicated to the late Herman Airst, a beloved father, father-in-law, grandfather and friend to many. He was a very successful real estate investor, developer, businessman and president of a respected non-profit organization for the community. Herman’s life story is very inspiring to us, as well as to many people we’ve been told. We’ll share his unique and special story to encourage you here later, or in News. Thank you, Herman, for showing us what really matters in life. And, for reminding us to stay hopeful for the future, resilient, and take action for positive change in the community.
