An international perspective and a comprehensive<br />

scope of industry knowledge allow real estate<br />

professionals Markus and Heidi Brown to provide<br />

their clients with an unparalleled experience throughout<br />

the course of every transaction and beyond. Their<br />

client-centric approach consistently achieves results; the<br />

duo’s focus on advocating for their clients elevates and<br />

distinguishes them. The Browns haven’t built careers<br />

by selling real estate, but by providing their clients with<br />

sound information and solid representation. Explains<br />

Markus, “Heidi and I are not here to make decisions for<br />

our clients. We’re here to assist them in making the right<br />

choices for their individual needs.”<br />

They were each on their own journeys in life when,<br />

somehow, their paths crossed. It was serendipitous.<br />

Prior to launching his career in real estate, Markus<br />

studied at UCLA before spending three years backpacking<br />

around the world. He was no stranger to international<br />

travel; born to a German mother and an adventurous<br />

father, he spent many summers in Europe with his family<br />

and as a solo traveler. Markus also studied in Germany<br />

during his university years. His travels, while exciting,<br />

were also laced with challenges and opportunities for<br />

personal growth. “Negotiation skills became critical,”<br />

he recalls. “From obtaining food, to bus passes, to<br />

hotel rooms, I learned how to effectively communicate<br />

with an incredible range of individuals. This has been<br />

invaluable to my real estate career.” Experiencing the<br />

cultures and languages of over 50 countries enabled<br />

him to develop a keen understanding of the subtleties<br />

of communication and negotiation. He observes, “My<br />

experiences heightened my understanding of where and<br />

how the appropriate give and take should occur in order<br />

to achieve my ultimate goal.”<br />

He always knew, he says, that he would be in real estate,<br />

and so Markus has readily applied his experiences into<br />

his business. An entrepreneurial mindset and a knack<br />

for technology are additional assets in his professional<br />

endeavors. His career is a natural fit, and Markus thrives<br />

in the opportunity to make a difference in each client’s<br />

life.<br />

Heidi’s international roots have also been fundamental<br />

to her professional success. With a German father and a<br />

Peruvian mother she wasn’t, she reveals, “raised like an<br />
