Brandon Fisk

REALTOR®

 

Growing up as a military brat, I understand more than most the struggles that come with moving. My family comes from the Houston area, but I have moved all over the world with my parents as my dad served in the Army for over 35 years.

 

I had also planned on joining the United States Army, but God had another path for me as I became a type 1 diabetic in 2009, putting my military dreams to a halt. I started my professional German skateboarding career during that time and decided to doubled down on extreme sport life. Little did I know how unsustainable that was.

 

With one of my dad’s last duty stations being Wiesbaden Germany, I found a home for myself for over 8 beautiful years until the 2020 pandemic hit. The lockdown was just announced and forced me to make the quick decision to fly back to Houston instead of being stuck in Germany. This allowed me to have a fresh start and move back to my beloved city of Houston. I always felt like I had a calling to serve people, but I didn’t know how to until I started paying attention to how the economy works and all the moving parts that it affects. After watching how so many people were relocated and affected around the world due to Covid-19, I took it upon myself to learn more about the real estate market and position myself to become a knowledgeable expert and continuous learner of all things real estate related.

This provided me the experience and knowledge to be diversified by understanding other’s needs.

 

I love my profession as a full-time investor and realtor and consider it a privilege to be able to assist people in their search for a place to call their home and strive to help others sell their home as I have firsthand knowledge on the process on selling my own properties.
