Russ Brown, Realtor - Realty One Performance

He started his portfolio with his first condo he bought after graduating from college. This condo was purchased through a first-time homebuyer program called HPAP, which allowed low-income buyers to afford a down payment and also gave a second mortgage that was interest free. With a salary of $27,000 a year, he more than qualified! Because of this program, Russ was able to save money to purchase h

is first investment property when the DC real estate market took a dip in 2010. He bought a 4-unit apartment building and subsequently another 3-unit building. From that point on, he learned the power of real estate and has made it his mission to help others who want to build generational wealth by simply owning instead of renting. In addition to being one of the top agents, he also owns his own construction company which has given him the unique ability to renovate his clients’ homes at amazing prices, which in-turn has allowed his clients to get top profits for their homes! With a focus on finding or selling that perfect home for his clients, Russ will never stop working hard to help his clients accomplish their goals and dreams!
