About Broker Brent

Based in Lubbock, TX with frequent time in Austin, I bring a Finance degree from Texas Tech University and formal training from the Rawls College of Business Real Estate program. My coursework focused heavily on commercial real estate and rigorous, applied analysis.

My strongest advisory is investment. I love helping clients buy income‑producing real estate that builds generational wealth — an asset that can compound net worth through equity and appreciation while delivering cash flow.
