Brandon Isley
Brandon is team-oriented by nature. At one of his properties, he recognized the need to rebuild his property team so that they embodied the same value. His goal was to hire the right people, not just put bodies in chairs. This meant that Brandon, for a brief period, was overseeing property management, leasing and marketing, and property maintenance himself while the property was going through turn. He never took any credit for the extra work that was placed upon him, rather he remained laser focused on building the best team.

Charlie Ramirez
Charlie was faced with a difficult situation at home when the Houston area hurricanes caused damage and flooding to his area. His family was stranded inside their house for several days with Charlie being unable to reach them. Although frustrated by the situation, he waited patiently for the waters to recede and continued working on the close-out of a property until he could make it home. Charlie was thankful for his family’s safety, which remained above his concern for the things lost and damaged. Even during his time off, Charlie continued to participate in close-out duties as needed and later returned to finish the project.
