About Brandon L.

I am an experienced real estate professional having done transactions for several national retailers including Eyemart Express, T-Mobile, AT&T, Regis, FedEx Office, Comerica Bank and The Cash Store. These transactions have included site selection and new lease negotiation as well as executing more than 300 renewals per year for various clients.My strengths are in market evaluation, site selection, negotiations and relationship management. To demonstrate my negotiation skills, I saved one client in excess of $1MM in one year of re-negotiating renewals for them. I am also highly organized and process oriented. This skill is necessary to balance such a large portfolio of deals with three clients at once.I am a licensed Real Estate Salesperson in the state of Texas.Besides real estate, I am an avid foodie who enjoys cooking and huge football fan.
