Brandon Blessman is a Real Estate Broker at City and Field Real Estate at City and Field Real Estate. Colleagues describe them as "Brandon has that leadership factor that opens the door to all the rest: the ability to finish the job. I had the privilege of recruiting, mentoring, managing, and leading Brandon in Chicago. I worked with him long enough to become his peer and to be shaped, challenged, and encouraged by him. He's an inspirational and teachable pastor with the bravery to launch and sustain something brand new, totally unique, and badly needed in a space where that sort of bravery isn't all that popular. He handles many things at once, he leads, catalyzes, and cares pastorally for his church without restraint, all while hustling as a great father, husband, and real estate broker to boot. Brandon is one of those people who blurs the lines between love and leadership, and you feel seen, heard, led, challenged, and cared for all at the same time whether you're his boss, his peer, his direct report, or a volunteer on one of his many teams. I'm lucky to call Brandon not only a colleague of extremely high caliber but a dear and trusted friend. Not being able to work alongside him anymore was one of the most difficult parts of changing my career. Of special note are his abilities to think holistically, both theoretically and practically, to organize complicated projects and events, to handle and manage difficult and complex relationships and encounters, and to speak publicly with poise, clarity, authenticity, and connection."
