Brendan Burns

An ambitious, passionate and all-in kind of guy, Brendan brings energy and commitment to everything he does. Whether as a soccer dad or real estate agent or managing broker, he offers 110%.

As an army brat, he was born in Belgium, but grew up in San Francisco and then Colorado Springs. After adventures in Austin, TX and Washington DC, he landed back in Colorado and intends to stay here forever where he can cheer on the “best-in-the-NFL” Broncos (he is a life-long fan and season ticket holder) and enjoy his favorite activities: skiing, kickboxing, cycling and spending time and laughing with friends and family.

Brendan has a Political Science degree from Colorado State University and is the former Chief Field Officer and Senior Vice President of Autism Speaks. He has championed efforts to help cancer survivors through the Lance Armstrong Foundation, as well as in Alzheimer’s research, helping pass the largest piece of legislation in the last 30 years.

Brendan clearly has a genuine desire to help people and brings it to his real estate business. He also offers his clients the rare and valuable quality of empathy. He’s been there. He’s rented, bought, and sold real estate wherever he’s lived and knows from experience that there are great realtors and not-so-great ones. He knows what side of the spectrum he wants to be on… and is 110% committed to it.

When not investing in his dedication to provide the best possible service to his clients, he’s investing in being a great dad and husband – his other top priorities. From soccer fields with his son to gymnastics gyms with his daughter, he glows with pride and counts spending time with his kids one of his greatest joys.

In addition to being inspired by his kids, he’s also inspired by people who, whether on the battlefield or in the medical field, have given everything to change the world. Amazed by their sacrifice and compassion, he strives to measure his life by the same virtues. Brendan loves a great glass of whiskey, a medium glass of wine and the cheapest beer he can find.

He is a “super traveler” with just Maine and Hawaii left to see of the US and 11 different country stamps on his passport. He loves Rodeo (he rode bulls in high school) and any music you can drink beer to, otherwise known as Country.

Words Brendan lives by: “If someone doesn’t laugh when you tell them your dreams, then you’re not dreaming big enough.”
