Austin Dempsey, BEI CEO
A Legacy of Leadership

Third Generation Family Business

After spending seven years in commercial real estate with Heritage Property Investment Trust, overseeing assets in Chicago and Michigan, Austin Dempsey returned to Batavia in 2007 to join the family business. Learning alongside his father Gerry Dempsey, Austin became CEO in 2019 while Gerry assumed the role of Chairman of the Board.

Now a third-generation leader, Austin brings an entrepreneurial spirit to BEI - expanding the company’s reach and services while honoring its legacy. Under his leadership, BEI has acquired Miscella Real Estate, launched In Towne Self-Storage, and continues to grow through smart investments and community-focused initiatives.
