Founded in 2014 by Brett Jennings, a Harvard-trained negotiation expert, real estate investor, and NAEA award-winning luxury home marketing specialist in 2015, the firm has been recognized by RealTrends in 2025 for its industry-leading production. Jennings, a former coach and a certified meditation instructor with Anthony Robbins and Deepak Chopra, has built a leadership team with deep expertise across real estate and other industries.
