BR Brokerage provides BRD with up-to-date market intel, insight into the constantly shifting supply and demand measures in markets, and an assessment of potential exit strategies to verify whether the deal being considered meets our profitability requirements. BR Brokerage is always tuned into the pulse of the market, keeping score of all residential activity in each market and updating the various criteria and overall “buy box” for potential end users in each market. BR Brokerage works in tandem with BRD to verify that all end-user exit assumptions are properly vetted for both prospective and current deals.​

BR Brokerage transacts on BRD’s land and lot positions by finding the appropriate end user for each deal from a vast array of investors, homebuilders, and developers. BR Brokerage lines up multiple disposition opportunities for each of BRD’s existing deals by leveraging their extensive rolodex of investors, builders, and developers across the Southeast and Texas to coordinate transactions. Thus, BR Brokerage is instrumental in ensuring that BRD is pursuing the most lucrative exit for each of its deals. ​ ​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​Furthermore, BR Brokerage vets BRD’s prospective land and lot deals by assessing the underlying demand for the development of Build-For-Rent communities and residential for-sale communities in the locales associated with each prospective deal. By obtaining perspectives from builders and developers on prospective deals through BR Brokerage, BRD can rigorously vet deals in-house and stay uniquely well-informed on each market.​
