At just 24 years old , Braxton Warren — the principal and founder of The Warren Group — has managed and led projects and transactions in a portfolio of over $ 500 million . Someone took notice : His company began partnering this past November with Compass , an independent publicly-traded luxury brokerage that is now the No . 1 brokerage in the country after only 10 years of existence . Compass is extremely selective of not only who they partner with , but who they enter new markets with . Compass just expanded into the Sacramento market in November 2021 after achieving the top market share in the Bay Area . Warren ’ s firm was selected to be the founding team for Compass Sacramento . And , Warren is the youngest principal agent in the entire organization , out of the company ’ s agent family of 27,000 .
“ What I love about the development space is that it indirectly made me an expert in so many different sectors of real estate ,“ Warren says . “ I work with developers who acquire vacant land and build entry level products , luxury products , multifamily products , you name it . I have to know what goes into acquiring a parcel of land , what things my clients are looking for when they are considering a project to develop . I have to
understand every product type , the demographic of the buyer and what their expectations are going to be when looking to purchase a $ 400,000 house or a $ 4,000,000 house .”
For someone who says he works “ from 12-14 hours a day , seven days a week ,” you tend to believe him . Asked if he has a social life , he says , “ What ’ s more social than Real Estate ?”
Warren is fluent in Spanish , Arabic , Farsi and Russian . He adds that he is self-taught in his language mastery , and believes that his ability to speak so many languages enables him to connect with myriad groups of people , establishing genuine connections from being able to communicate in the native languages of his clients .
He ’ s also a taekwondo master , teacher and two-time State champion . His website says he ’ s been active in the sport / spiritual discipline “ for 20 years .” That means he ’ s been at it since he was four years old .
In reflecting on his incredible career track , Warren says , “ I am so very excited . I am in the foundation stage of my career . The Warren Group is just getting started .”
