About Studio Four8
It started in Dallas, Texas in 2016.
After a long day of learning and networking at the annual Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Convention, one of us said it out loud: “We should team up and keep this energy going.”
In that moment, the idea for our real estate partnership was formed and we have been brainstorming, polishing and executing ever since. The excitement for the venture has never waned; in fact, over the last two years we have discovered new and exciting ways that it will benefit not just ourselves but more importantly you – our Clients.
Studio Four8 is different from the real estate teams you may have heard of. For one thing, while our families are dear friends, we are not a family business. For another, we are not lining up behind one distant figurehead who seemingly does all the deals but in fact has little to do with their transactions.
