“I like to say, ‘My favorite part of real estate is always looking ahead to the next opportunity — the next person I get to help,” Brandon Roseberry shares. “That mindset keeps me energized and focused — always growing, always giving, and always striving to make a difference in someone’s journey.'”

Not your typical suit-and-tie Realtor, Brandon is a Marine Corps veteran turned banker turned software pro, eventually swapping the 9–6 grind for a life of deals. Earning his real estate license in late 2020 with Simplicity in Lincoln, Brandon closed over $13.5 million on 47 transactions last year and certainly shows no signs of slowing down while practicing what he preaches from his own investment playbook.

A Lincoln native, Brandon joined the Marine Corps just five days after his 18th birthday and served as an air-traffic controller at Yuma, Arizona, the busiest Marine Corps air station, an experience that taught him calm under pressure and razor-sharp focus.

After his enlistment ended, he enrolled full‑time in college to study project management while juggling three roommates and a full-time job at US Bank. 

“I was a banker for several years, and I saw everyone of all ages and income levels; I decided right then and there what side of the scale I wanted to be on,” he explains.

Still seeking a better lifestyle, Brandon moved into IT at a large software company — only to find himself miserable stuck behind a desk each day. He saved aggressively and took real estate classes, slowly building a rental portfolio while doing flips on the side. 

“I was offered a large severance to leave, just two days before I was going to leave anyway!” he says with a grin. “That gave me the courage to pursue my passion.” 

By November of 2020, he had passed his real estate exam and hit the ground running. 

Brandon’s initial interest in real estate wasn’t a hobby, it was strategic. “Originally I got my license to help myself out and to build my rental portfolio,” he offers, “but then I later found out I really enjoyed helping others with something I knew so much about!”

Since going all-in, he’s flipped plenty of houses, acquired over 100 rental units, with a focus on small multi family, and has guided clients through the frenzied pandemic market. That hands-on investor experience gives him an edge in negotiations, deal analysis, and long‑term wealth building. Clients truly appreciate his real‑world insights: “I am selling what I buy myself,” he points out. “As a full-time investor, I understand the numbers, the stress, and the long-term vision because I live that rollercoaster myself.”

For Brandon, success boils down to independence: “It’s the freedom of time, freedom of choice, and the ability to work for myself and my family, not for a clock or someone else’s goals,” he notes. He measures his wins in aligning with his values and lifestyle choices.“I also define success by how well I’m able to live out what I believe in,” he adds.

Brandon’s hustle never really stops. His passion drives him to prospect relentlessly and respond instantly. 

“Deals are lost when you’re sleeping!” he asserts. “I’ll respond no matter where I am in the world, or what day and time it is.’

Brandon welcomes every challenge with gusto, whether scouting off‑market flips at dawn or coaching first‑time buyers after bedtime: “I genuinely love the hustle of real estate — finding deals, solving problems, and creating win‑win situations for everyone involved.”

Brandon’s greatest investment is his young brood. He and his wife Destinee, whom he met at banker school in 2014, are raising two youngsters: Olive June, aka “OJ” (2.5 years), and Oakley Glen, aka “OG” (7 months). Brandon admits he doesn’t sleep much, but that is completely fine with him.

“When I wake up at 4:30 in the morning to give my kid a bottle, I’m already thinking about what I can buy or sell that day,” he laughs, affirming that fatherhood and real estate fit together better than his previous corporate life ever could.

Outside the office, Brandon is always on the lookout for "fun and unique cars” to collect and lives for travel with his loved ones. He’s currently busy planning an Alaskan cruise, their annual foodie pilgrimage to the Minnesota State Fair, and a Disneyland trip before the holidays. 

He’s equally psyched about his new seven‑acre, fixer-upper project south of Lincoln which he views as “a playground for future family memories. “I also love any excuse to drive or ride anything that will go fast— scooters, UTVs, ATVs, lawnmowers, and otherwise,” he smiles. 

Workwise, Brandon’s next audacious goal includes being the go-to resource in Lincoln for anyone ready to jump into real estate, whether it’s a first-time buyer figuring out their first home, an investor analyzing a 10-unit deal, or someone looking to flip their way to financial freedom. 

“I want people to think of me first when they’re ready to make moves in real estate,” Brandon emphasizes. 

Just as important though, is the impact of his career at home: “I hope my kids grow up seeing how much I love what I do — that it makes me better, more driven, and more present,” he concludes. 

“Maybe someday they’ll want to do the same, not just because it’s what I do, but because they saw how much joy and purpose it brought me.”
