It all started back in college when Brian met his best friend Justin, now turned real estate agent. The two weren’t just roommates and teammates at Kent State in Ohio, they quickly became inseparable. As walk-ons on the basketball team, they spent just as much time riding the bench as they did talking trash, cracking jokes, and building a bond that would last far beyond college. That friendship has carried them through everything, graduation, careers, relationships, and marriage. They stood beside each other as best men at their weddings, talk constantly (sometimes all day, every day), and have become more like brothers than friends. Now, with Justin and his wife welcoming a newborn and Brian and his wife Anna named as honorary aunt and uncle, their bond has only deepened. So, finding a beach house near each other has become a priority for the friends. And when it came to who the realtor was.... there was never really a question, Justin would be their agent, whether Brian had a “choice” or not.
Anna and Brian’s story has its own full-circle charm. They technically went to the same high school, Brian a few years older, Anna just a freshman watching him play basketball. Years later, they reconnected in New York, and what started as a second chance quickly turned into something serious. They’ve now been together for five years and recently married, building a life together in Gainesville, Florida, where Brian works as a program manager and Anna works remotely in tech. But while they’ve put down roots, they’re landlocked and they’re itching for a change. They want to find a home that’s close enough to the beach to Feel effortless, big enough to host friends and family, and flexible enough to put their own design stamp on it. They also want to be closer to their friends Justin and his wife Yami, so they are looking in the Cape Coral, Ft Myers area.
Of course, finding it won’t be simple. Anna is the visionary, she can walk into almost any space and see what it could become. Brian… not so much. He’s more practical, more particular, and far less patient when something doesn’t immediately meet the brief. Justin, stuck in the middle, will have to balance being a professional agent with managing one of his closest friendships, all while trying not to question his career choices mid-showing. Together, they’re a hilarious, high-energy trio. Brian and Justin’s constant banter, Anna’s eye for potential, and the added pressure of mixing business with friendship means every showing will come with strong opinions, plenty of laughs, and just enough chaos.
The Agent - Justin Brunswick - Bradenton, FL
Standing at 6’11, Justin might just be the tallest realtor you’ll ever meet, and he absolutely knows how to make an impression. A former college basketball player, he’s carried that competitive edge into a career that spans automotive, tech, and now real estate, where his people-first approach and sharp negotiation skills consistently set him apart. Justin is all about relationships, treating clients like family and going above and beyond to deliver, whether that means tapping into his network for off-market opportunities or driving across the state at a moment’s notice. He’s quick-witted, loyal, and thrives in the chaos, especially when working with his best friend Brian, bringing a mix of hustle, humor, and heart to every deal he touches.
