Would you negotiate with a man holding a gun to protect your real estate deal—and walk away with a handshake?

Justen Brown is a powerhouse real estate investor, escrow expert, and entrepreneur with deep roots in East County. From humble beginnings and literal dumpster diving for school clothes, Justen shares how grit, faith, and strategy helped him grow a vast real estate portfolio and run tens of thousands of successful escrow closings.

He opens up about getting into the game as a teenager, surviving the 2008 crash, negotiating with armed squatters, and raising over $10 million in capital. His philosophy? Stay humble, serve people, and be the quarterback of your own deals. This episode is packed with war stories, tactical knowledge, and heart.

If you're a real estate agent, investor, or aspiring entrepreneur—connect with Justen Brown! Don’t just watch the game, learn how to call the plays.
