Brandon Baines

Growing up in Baltimore, Maryland, he watched his grandfather serve his city by creating services and businesses for his community. He even opened one of the first black-owned supermarkets in the Northeastern region of the U.S. His father took a different approach in contributing to his community and helping those in need – he took pride in remodeling local houses for his neighbors and making beautiful family homes out of the distressed buildings in his community.

After watching both his grandfather’s and his father’s accomplishments over the years, he knew that he had the same entrepreneurial spirit, which soon became evident to his family and peers as well. He began to gain recognition for his leadership and management skills when he worked at his local Mattress Firm. He loved the valuable experience that he gained from negotiating with his customers and finding ways to make sure that they always left satisfied and well taken care of. After managing the store for a few years, he realized that he wanted to follow in his family’s footsteps and focus on his true passion – helping his community learn the value of real estate.
