We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Brinda Bhatt. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Brinda below.
Hi Brinda, thanks for joining us today. Do you have a hero? What have you learned from them?
I have a few, My parents and my sister are my heroes. They have taught me that family means everything. Only family will be there for you whenever and wherever. I am a true believer in that as I have experienced the love and help from them throughout my journey. They have taught me to practice a positive mindset, spirituality, prayer, meditation, tolerance, patience, forgiveness, compassion, service to others and self love. I believe that everything can be worked out by communication, respect and acceptance.
Brinda, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I was born in India. My parents immigrated to the USA in 1974. I grew up in New Jersey moving around a few times as my parents earned more. Being super curious, I actively tried and played sports. This was my way to fit in to cliques of the cool girls and boys at school. I excelled at Soccer and Lacrosse and played Division 1 Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse at Rutgers University. After graduating with a double major in Political Science and Communications, Education is important to my parents, so I went on and earned a Juris Doctor degree at the New England School of Law. Having done a sports agent internship at Woolf Associates during Law School, I gained more interest in Sports and Entertainment. After doing research about this career path, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a Talent Agent at United Talent Agency for over a decade and then ultimately became a Partner/Talent Manager and producer with Artistry Collective, representing top talent across all mediums of film, television, streaming, and stage and executive producing a client’s one-hour comedy special.
I recently transitioned into Real Estate as an agent with the Marc Hernandez Group at Compass in Beverly Hills, California. As I reflect, I was exposed to real estate when I was young as I saw my parents buy, sell, and invest as they accumulated income. I love talking to and helping people. As an agent, I am at the forefront of helping clients find their dream homes, educating them about the market, make strategic investments, or embark on new chapters in their lives. It’s a profession that constantly challenges me with unique properties, diverse clients, and ever-changing market dynamics. The sense of accomplishment that comes from successfully connecting a client with their ideal property and the satisfaction of facilitating a smooth transaction is truly rewarding. It is a win-win for my client and myself! Moreover, the flexibility of the job and the potential for financial success make it an enticing career choice as I thrive in a dynamic and people-oriented field.
Have you ever had to pivot?
As I mentioned, I recently transitioned into Real Estate from a career in Entertainment. The impetus was when I started hearing rumblings about the writers strike and actor’s strike. That was the sign for me to make the move.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
My sphere of influence which consists of 6500+ contacts and hosting Open Houses!
