Brandon was born and raised in Louisiana within a nurturing and faithful upbringing and education. In 2007, his career began in Louisiana as an actor and moved to Hollywood, CA in 2010 to pursue bigger roles. Brandon has been employed as an actor by various studio productions for NBC Universal, ABC and Paramount to name a few. He has worked alongside many pioneers in the entertainment industry such as Jon Mercedes, Jay Leno, George Clooney and the list continues.
Brandon’s love and interest for the business side of the entertainment industry convinced him to accept various executive positions under Fiesta Studios’ branches such as Account Executive at United Public Relations in 2011, Junior Consultant at Entertainment Consulting Services in 2012 then was promoted to Director of Creative Affairs of Fiesta Studios; all while working as an actor and managing his team of four agents and two managers.
Around 2017, Brandon began to explore his calling to priesthood and left his entertainment career in Hollywood to move home and enter Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans. In pursuit of his new journey as a man of God, Brandon realized he could give back to his community without being ordained a priest. In late 2019, Brandon withdrew from entering the seminary as a full-time seminarian and procured an interest to explore the real estate industry and the rest is history.
Feeling blessed and appreciative for the opportunities and accomplishments life has bestowed upon him, Brandon currently offers a new and strong desire to serve his community as a licensed Realtor. He has dedicated his time and talents toward servicing those in need of selling their home, or servicing those in need of buying the home of their dreams. He and wife Elizabeth are newly married and recently had their one year anniversary.

As a real estate agent, one of the most common questions I get from potential home sellers is, “When is the best time of year to sell my home?” The truth is that the best time to sell is when you need to move; however, if you’re determined to try and time the market, the best time to sell is when you have the least amount of competition. In most markets, that means selling in late winter or early spring. Once spring hits, inventory increases rapidly, and you’ll have to compete with tons of other homeowners. If you truly want to hit the optimal selling window in late winter or early spring, here are three key things you need to consider:
1. Plan early. The more time you give yourself to plan out your home sale, the better. Getting your home ready for the market might involve a lot more work than you thought of beforehand, so don’t procrastinate. I recommend giving yourself a three to four months headstart before you list for things like pre-listing consultations, staging, repairs, and more. If you want to sell at the optimal time in late winter or early spring, that means you need to start these things as soon as possible.
2. Budget your time. It can take 60 to 120 days to sell your home once you list it, but many homeowners still have a mentality leftover from the pandemic market, when homes would sell in as little as a week. That’s why I recommend working with your agent to plan out what you need to do to hit the optimal selling window. Once you have a schedule, it will be easier to budget your time and sell at the perfect moment.
3. Beat your competition to the market. If you have a choice between listing earlier or later, list earlier. Once the spring frenzy hits, supply increases exponentially each month. All those sellers are competition that will make it harder for you to get the best deal possible, so try your best to beat them to the market. It’s tempting to wait for prices to increase as demand picks up, but this isn’t a good strategy. By the time you enter the market, you’ll be chasing a wave of demand that has already passed. Instead, get ahead of things by listing as early as you reasonably can.
If you want to sell this spring and get the best deal possible, your first step should be to have a pre-listing meeting. Just call or email me, and we’ll go over your situation, your goals, the market, and more. It’s 100% free and no obligation. I look forward to hearing from you!
