About Me
I’m an entrepreneur
I’ve always been endlessly curious—a lifelong learner who loves to build, design, and create, especially when it comes to shaping my own life. That curiosity showed up early. At age nine, I launched my first “business,” washing laundry for a quarter a load (my mom was my only customer). After that came a lemonade stand, custom buttons, and eventually the working world once I was old enough to really earn money.
That same curiosity has led me down winding paths: globetrotting adventures, unexpected career shifts, and the challenge of building something from the ground up. Each experience has taught me something new and shaped me into the person I am today—a woman who believes in carving her own path with equal parts grit and grace.
At the heart of everything, I believe in people. I believe in staying open, vulnerable, and real. I believe trust and honesty are the foundation of any meaningful connection.
And I believe that when you combine curiosity with intention, life has a beautiful way of giving you exactly what you need—even more than you ever imagined.
the full story
Before I was Brandy Landon, the CEO, I was …
just an average girl trying to find her way in the world. Like many, I faced challenges and uncertainties, but I always had a sense that there was more to life than just getting by. I didn’t have all the answers, but I was determined to carve out my own path, learn from my mistakes, and keep pushing forward.
This journey, full of self-discovery and hard work, eventually led me to the world of real estate, where I discovered my true passion. Today, as the CEO of Milestone Premier Properties, I’m proud of how far I’ve come and the incredible team and clients I have the privilege of working with. But no matter how much I’ve grown, I’ll always remember the girl who was just trying to figure it all out.
What I’ve learned along the way is that life isn’t about following a straight line—it’s about embracing the many facets of who you are, even if they seem contradictory at times. I’ve always been a mix of contrasts. I’m a planner, but I love the thrill of spontaneity. I’m a workaholic, but I crave time to just be still. I’m goal-driven, but I also appreciate the journey, taking time to savor each experience along the way.
Over the years, my many interests and passions have shaped me into someone who is multi-faceted and curious—constantly learning, growing, and evolving. My seemingly contradictory qualities have actually become one of my greatest strengths. They’ve taught me how to adapt, how to find creative solutions, and how to stay true to myself while navigating the ever-changing tides of life and business.
The Hard Truth About My Past
I was born unwanted. My father tried to end my life before it began, and maybe I sensed that, because my mom always said I was the quietest baby—you hardly knew I was there. Silence became my survival skill in a home marked by alcoholism and abuse.
Some of my earliest memories are of the sticks my father used to beat us with, and living in a van by the river (literally). When I was six, he kidnapped me and my siblings and left my mom stranded in Montana. It took a year before we were found. After that, we were placed in foster care. When my mom finally regained custody of me and my sister, we moved to Texas, separated from my two older half-brothers. That was also when I stepped into a classroom for the first time—in second grade.
The culture shock was overwhelming. I was timid and unsure, but underneath it all, I was eager. With the help of a private tutor, I quickly caught up, and within months I was labeled “brilliant.” School became my safe place, and learning became my lifeline.
But thriving academically didn’t erase the challenges I faced. I had no real social skills, struggled with a lazy eye that made it hard to connect with other kids, and grew up in deep poverty. Not the kind where you miss out on new school clothes, but the kind where running water was a luxury. Our house had no heat or air (and we lived in Texas), cockroaches were everywhere, and baths often meant a rag and a bucket.
And yet—even in all of that—I held onto positivity. I knew my life wasn’t what it should be, but I refused to let it define me. My dream was simple: survive childhood so I could make my own choices and create something better.
That dream carried me through. I graduated at the top of my class with honors, earned a scholarship to college, and went on to complete a master’s degree. I traveled the world, met incredible people, and slowly proved to myself that survival wasn’t the end of my story—I could thrive.
Now, when I look back, I can say to my younger self with gratitude: thank you for enduring, thank you for believing, and thank you for never giving up. None of it was for nothing.
