Today we’d like to introduce you to Aubrey Pearson.
Aubrey, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I have always battled with the thought that you can only do one thing and be successful. I have always had 2 passions, one being Real Estate and the other being Fashion. I am a native of Jackson, TN where fell in love with Real Estate at a very young age. Roughly 8 years old I began tagging along with 3 of my uncles who owned rental properties. I started crawling into crawl spaces, learning about remodeling and just overall learning the business.
At 12 years old one uncle gave me the responsibility of owning and operating a small hot dog outside of his restaurant so that I could learn what it takes to run a business of my own. I took that hotdog stand and grew it into a known staple in our small East Jackson community. It was my own piece of Real Estate.
Simultaneously, I never let go of my desire to own a clothing store one day or to work in the fashion industry in some shape form or fashion (no pun intended). This led me to attend the University of TN where I majored in Business and Retail & Consumer Science.
After graduating from the University of TN my first purchase out of college was purchasing the very home where I was raised back in my hometown. This was and will always be my most valuable purchase because my mom had falling on hard times and I was able to keep her from losing her home while gaining my first real asset.
With all of this passion, I still found myself going further away from my desires and working in Corporate America and moving around the country. that passion for Real Estate and clothing just continued to burn and I realized I needed to follow my dream. Before then I only looked at Real Estate as an investment or another stream of income because that is how I saw it growing up but once I realized it could be my primary source of income, I have not looked back, and I have committed to learning all aspects of Real Estate as a Realtor and Investor.
I did discover that my love for clothing and fashion fit more as a profitable hobby so I partnered with another TN native and we have launched a custom clothing line as well. This has led my branding of “The Bespoke Realtor” because I truly deliver a custom approach to all of my clients.
You always hear, when you do what you love, you never work a day and that is so true. I jump out of bed every morning excited to take care of my clients in DFW.
Has it been a smooth road?
My path here took a major detour coming out of College. My mom lost her job a few years before graduating due to a work industry and this put her in a tight space. Leading to her losing her home and really struggling to make ends meet.
I had to make some serious decisions about my future, chase my fashion and real estate dreams that were not very lucrative at the time or capitalize on the banking experience I gained in college to help my family. I chose family and went into banking. This allowed me to purchase the very home where I grew up and provide a place for my mom to live. I stayed in Corporate America for 10 years after taking this detour chasing the dollar and accepting promotions.
After moving around the country and settling in Dallas, I finally I decided I will slowly begin to follow my dream after much encouragement from close friends and family. While working my Corporate Career I partnered with another TN native and launched a custom clothing line Persona Custom Clothiers. I also got my Texas Real Estate License and began doing real estate part-time. After some very long days and short nights, I was able to walk away from Corporate America and I have not looked back.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
I am an independent Realtor. Branded as “The Bespoke Realtor” because I deliver a truly custom approach to each client. I separate in 2 ways. After closing, I donate 1% of my net commission to a charity of the clients choice, in their name.
I also ensure when they buy or sell that wherever they go next is a smooth transition. I seek new Doctors, Restaurants, Pediatricians, whatever is needed to provide them with contacts to relieve them of this burden as moving is enough. My clients are able to move in and pick up where they left off no matter where they move in the Metroplex.
“Regardless of the market, Realtors often have a reputation for being too pushy and even not communicating what all is involved. I have separated myself by offering “A Tailored Conversation”. Which is a 1 on 1 conversation where I simply answer all Real Estate questions regardless of where you are with deciding to sell or buy? This is not a pushy, or obligatory meeting but in a relaxed environment, you have a chance to ask any questions and I walk you through each step of the process, whether you are thinking of buying or selling now or in the future.”
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
Yes, absolutely. DFW is a very impressive city that welcomes growth, hard work, and expansion. This will allow a startup to get out and network, grow and have whatever level they consider success.
