Rick Brace

As a commercial real estate professional for more than 30 years, it has been my privilege and passion to work in an industry I love, utilizing my expertise as a multibillion-dollar producer to help investors achieve their financial goals in the multifamily space. My clients - many of whom I've known for years - have told me they appreciate my easy-going demeanor and concern for them as people as much as my dedication and work ethic. As one recent client wrote in a post-sale commendation letter, "It was clear to us throughout the entire process that we were in good hands. It was a true pleasure to interact with Rick from beginning to end." The feeling is mutual: Life is just better when you work with nice people. When I'm not in the office, on the road, or flying (I'm an FAA-licensed pilot) for work, training, or travel, you'll probably find me spending quality time with my wife, Anne Marie, the love of my life for the past 29 years. I'm especially happy and grateful to announce that we're celebrating the 6th anniversary of her being breast-cancer free, and we're now in training for our 6th "Susan G. Komen 3-Day," a 60-mile walk for the cure. I am still awestruck by my wife's love, dedication, and strength. Another milestone is that our two moms will be celebrating their 85th and 90th birthdays this year - congratulations, moms! - and will be joined by our huge, happy family: a gang of more than 100 members all told, including aunts, uncles, and cousins galore! On a final note, there is one guilty pleasure I willingly admit to: fly fishing! It's a little distraction I enjoy now and again that allows me time to regroup, reflect, and refocus on some of the more important things in life.
