Meet Brandi Wright, The Real Estate Shark | Broker Owner & Property Manager

We had the good fortune of connecting with Brandi Wright, The Real Estate Shark and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brandi, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind my success is the people I work with—clients, colleagues, and vendor partners. Real estate isn’t just about transactions; it’s about relationships. I believe that putting people first, understanding their needs, and building genuine connections is what drives long-term success. Whether it’s helping a family find their dream home, guiding an investor with property management, or collaborating with other professionals, prioritizing relationships has always been the foundation of my business. When people know you truly care, trust follows—and with trust comes success.

What should our readers know about your business?
Real estate is never an easy journey. The most successful brokers and brokerages operate seven days a week, 365 days a year. If someone needs something, you answer. You show up. You support them. That unwavering commitment to my clients is what led to the title my first two clients gave me, “The Real Estate Shark.” I never give up—I relentlessly pursue the best possible outcomes. Whether it’s navigating complex deals, negotiating fiercely on behalf of my clients, or staying calm and strategic when needed, I embrace every challenge with the mindset that success is the only option.

After 14 years in corporate third-party property management, I decided it was time to hang up my property manager hat and take a leap into residential sales. Five years ago, I was fortunate to work with one of the best brokerages in Colorado, gaining invaluable experience and honing my craft. After three years, I found my niche in the market, which led me to start WH Realty Company, combining my passion for residential sales with my expertise in third-party single-family property management.

That leap of faith has opened doors I never could have imagined. Starting from scratch with zero managed assets, we now oversee a rental portfolio generating over $70,000 in monthly rental revenue—and we’re growing almost daily. The momentum we’ve built and the trust we’ve earned in the market continue to leave me speechless.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned? People come first. Success in real estate isn’t just about closing deals—it’s about relationships, trust, and always showing up for the people who count on you. I’m incredibly proud of the reputation I’ve built—aggressive in negotiations, relentless in pursuit of results, and always focused on the people who make this business worth it.

This journey, takes grit, resilience, and a willingness to trust yourself. The rewards? Absolutely worth it.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend were visiting for a week, I’d make sure they got the full Colorado experience—great food, outdoor adventures, and the best local spots for drinks and entertainment. Here’s how I’d map it out:
