About
Brittney is the dynamic broker and owner of BK Real Estate, a company she founded in 2023 to support the growth and success of other agents. Over the last several years, Brittney has achieved and surpassed personal goals in both her production and skill set, viewing each transaction as a valuable opportunity for growth.
Prior to embarking on her real estate journey, Brittney was a dedicated school librarian in various ISDs across Texas. She cherished the joy of teaching and helping students develop a love for reading. As a single mother to two amazing kids, she decided to expand her horizons by starting a part-time real estate career. Balancing her roles as a teacher by day and a real estate agent by evening, Brittney found herself selling a diverse range of properties, including commercial buildings, residential properties, tenant representation, and multifamily units. After two years of managing both careers, she took the bold step to leave education and fully commit to real estate, a decision that paid off significantly.
With more time at her disposal, Brittney was able to reach more clients and achieve greater personal goals. Her interest in investing led her to follow the BiggerPockets podcast, inspiring her to grow her own portfolio. Today, she owns 11 doors, a mix of short- and long-term rentals, and is a part-owner in a mortgage branch. Brittney’s passion for building her portfolio has ignited a new goal: to help as many clients and agents as possible grow their own assets.
In addition to her professional achievements, Brittney is an active member of her Keller community, particularly involved in the PTA. Her dedication to her community and her family is as strong as her commitment to her career. Whether clients are looking to buy a personal home, invest in multifamily properties, house hack, wholesale, flip, use creative financing, or grow their rental portfolio, Brittney and her team at BK Real Estate are ready to help.
