Broker Associate guidance near University of Texas at Dallas for buyers, sellers and investors

I’m Drew Burroughs, a Broker Associate with Compass. I help buyers, sellers and investors explore housing near the University of Texas at Dallas, including parents planning a purchase for a student in the Dallas area.

My interest in real estate began while I worked at a title company during college. I earned a finance degree from Texas A&M University and built research and analytical skills in commercial appraisal and on valuation teams for a real estate investment firm and a bank. I bring that perspective to comparing properties and market information.

I’ll listen to what matters to you and explain the options without pressure. If you’re planning from out of state, we can also discuss virtual showings. Tell me about your goals, and let’s put a thoughtful plan together.
