“My father inspired me to work in construction,” Randy Moellering, President of RJM Investments says. “I started working for his construction company RA Moellering Contracting, Inc. as a teenager.” Randy took time off to pursue an interest in engineering at the University of Missouri at Rolla, but was home working in construction full-time after he turned 21. “I realized that building quality homes, room additions, sunrooms and remodeling kitchens, bathrooms and basements really is what I love to do,” Randy says. “And I managed building sites and the business affairs for my father’s company until 1999, when he retired.” Randy continued his education at the University of Missouri – St. Louis receiving a bachelor’s degree in Business.

In all that time – over forty years – RA Moellering Contracting and now RJM Construction rely completely on word-of-mouth advertising and repeat customers to build their business. “We are very proud of the workmanship we’ve given to our customers,” Randy explains, “and I like knowing that we are really helping people enjoy their homes and increase the value of their properties.”

In 1996, Randy became the President of another company specializing in investment properties. RJM Investments became the parent company of RJM Construction, and the companies continued to prosper. “We began buying single family homes, remodeling them, and putting them back on the market for resale.” Randy attributes their success to smart building practices, cost efficiency and strong buying power for their materials.

“We don’t just fix up the houses we buy but we modernize them in a way that today’s families really want to live in them.” And, Randy adds that all homes he remodels include a warranty for one year after the sale. “I want people who buy a house from us to be confident they received a home worth what they paid for it."

Randy returned to the classroom in 2001 to earn his Real Estate Agent/Broker License and launched another division of RJM Investments: Lighthouse Realty. “I wanted to help my customers control the commission fees and other expenses in home buying and selling,” he explains, “plus, I can answer questions and help on both sides of the transaction if that’s what needed.” Lighthouse Realty quickly became a Million-Dollar producing agent in the St. Louis/St. Charles areas.

RJM Investments also spreads to development of both land and building projects. “We’ve owned some great raw land and built custom houses on it in the past,” Randy describes, “and we are currently building some deluxe apartments out in the Troy, MO area.” RJM Development is also interested in shopping centers and medical/office building opportunities. “We are just the right size company to make the most out of many different possibilities.”

Randy Moellering describes his measure of success:
As we build every project, we also build trust.
Trust is our gauge of success.
