Brandon L. Wood, CCIM
For over 15 years, Brandon Wood has been helping his clients maximize returns in their commercial real estate portfolios. In 2014, Brandon formed Building Partner Investors to provide equity and access to financing to small businesses to help them acquire their own buildings. During his 15 year brokerage career he witnessed many instances when a business owner had intentions of acquiring their building but failed to do so usually because of the large amount of cash required or because of a lack of knowledge about the real estate industry. On one particular deal Brandon offered to put up half of the cash and partner with the business in the acquisition of the building. It turned out to be an outstanding success for both parties and Building Partner Investors was created to provide business owners this unique alternative.
Concurrently with forming Building Partner Investors he launched The Northwood Group, a commercial real estate brokerage that has created a platform to source and structure unique commercial real estate opportunities for investors and small businesses owners.
