The Practical Wealth Show

Brian was born in New York and moved to Florida at age five and spent most of his life there. He attended Florida State University, and then at the age of thirty, he moved to Chicago. Brian has been there for seventeen years now and has a wonderful wife, Katie, who he's been married to for ten years. They have a nine-year-old son named Will. They love spending time together and taking family vacations, just the three of them. In his spare time, Brian likes to play golf, read and play sports with his son. BKW Property Solutions was started to provide flexible real estate solutions for both buyers and sellers. They serve the Greater Chicagoland area and help buyers realize their dream of owning a home. When Brian and Katie experienced many of the common challenges of selling their own home many years ago, they knew there had to be a better way. That is the foundation of BKW Property Solutions and we look forward to serving your needs. There is a better way!

Brian is also the Strategy Expert for Smart Real Estate Coach. After spending 25+ years in the corporate world, Brian finally decided to get out of his own way and pursue his dream of running his own business. In this role, Brian helps other aspiring entrepreneurs carve out their path for financial freedom using creative financing strategies in real estate. Curtis and Brian discuss and review his business of helping buyers and sellers with creating financing and how he helps other people achieve their goal of scaling a business.

Curtis's motto is that what you learn today and how you position yourself will determine your future financial well-being 5, 10, 20 years from today. To learn more about how to manage your wealth in a practical way, visit www.practicalwealthadvisors.com
