Brian offers twenty nine years of experience in real estate and finance. Starting in 1981, Brian worked with a developer in Boston supervising downtown renovation/construction projects and launched a brokerage division to market those and other properities. He then founded Landmark Development and designed, built, brokered and managed single family homes on the island of Martha’s Vineyard. In 1990, his passion for real estate evolved and he began concentrating on finance. He has since, originated over half a billion dollars of residential and commercial mortgage loans and helped thousands of people to achieve their dreams. Brian has also furthered his education by studying Financial Planning with Boston University and brings his extensive and well rounded experience in real estate to the benefit of others through the creation of unique educational tools and software with Estate of Mind, Inc.
Landmark Development
Landmark started as a design/build & development firm in 1984. It quickly evolved to include brokerage and property management. The company originally constructed single family homes on the island of Martha’s Vineyard. Today, Landmark controls several hundred acres of land and several residential investment properties. Landmark Development now also offers comprehensive consulting services for property acquistion, finance, design/build and feasibility analysis. The typical cost of these services are saved many times over in the elimination of costly missteps or inappropriate purchases in the ever more complex process of acquiring and improving real estate.
