Starting his career at Drucker and Falk, LLC, he dove into the field headfirst, learning the ropes through trial and error. He quickly gained experience across all asset classes in the Hampton Roads area. From retail and office to industrial and land, Brian’s exposure to the full spectrum of commercial real estate was invaluable, and each deal became a stepping stone to the next. ? As his expertise grew, Brian transitioned to Colliers International, where he expanded his reach by working more closely with corporate real estate clients, furthering his knowledge and depth in commercial real estate.

This experience not only strengthened his ability to navigate intricate deals but also positioned him as a trusted advisor for corporate clients seeking tailored solutions.

Brian eventually joined Hamner Development, drawn by the firm’s reputation for success and its innovative approach to commercial real estate.
