Byron’s real estate background began at a young age when his family acquired their first investment property, Lakewood Plaza Apartments, a 48-unit property in the heart of Lakewood Heights. From his teenage years on, he was involved in leasing, insuring, renovating, acquiring, and disposing of multifamily properties in the East Dallas and Oaklawn sub-markets. With 16 years working in commercial property & casualty and insurance sales, Byron developed his strong business acumen through his experience helping business and property owners alike. Byron’s ability to assist property owners through soft and hard markets and navigate the nuances of premium savings and loss control strategies have proven a key driver of NOI and investment performance. His experience in P&C insurance, real estate finance has qualified him to advise investors through market cycles, and the critical decision-making process to maximize returns from acquisition through disposition. Byron believes the key to his success is putting his client’s needs first. Byron transitioned from Assistant Financial Analyst to Broker in 2018. He continues to service multifamily owners in the East Dallas and Oaklawn areas and throughout DFW as well as Secondary and Tertiary markets in Texas. He also services clients with SFR portfolios and multifamily land. After graduating from Collin College and earning summa cum laude honors, Byron returned to Southern Methodist University where he earned his BBA in real estate finance from the Cox School of Business. Byron is currently an active member of the SMU Folsom Institute Real Society where he is a student mentor and active recruiter of SMU, UNT, and UTD internship program. Byron also participates as a member of the Urban Land Institute, Commercial Real Estate Development Association, The Real Estate Council, and during tax season volunteers as a tax preparer at the Community Tax Center for Habitat for Humanity.
