Grant Roehm started his real estate career based on a Craigslist ad he saw recruiting folks “interested in real estate.” Although no one in his family has worked in the industry, he interned with a multifamily developer in Houston the summer before he got his real estate license and thought real estate was a career path worth exploring. He joined the student organization Real Estate Organization at the Rawls College of Business during his junior year and finished his finance degree with a concentration in commercial real estate. He also began working when he finished school in the summer and fall of 2018. 

 

Keller Williams was the first and only brokerage Grant explored in Lubbock, and it was an immediate fit for him. “I was instantly drawn to the ‘live a life worth living’ mentality,” Grant notes. Because he didn’t know anyone in real estate, he says he wouldn't be where he is today without the mentorship he’s received at his office from other agents, leadership, and clients. He thanks Greg Brownd and Tara Newton for taking a chance on him. “Without them, there's a good chance I would not be in real estate today,” Grant discloses.

 

Coming off one of the greatest bull markets in the history of investment real estate in the 21st century, many have built extraordinary wealth and careers during this time, but it has unfortunately left some groups in a bind. Grant and his team are well-equipped and experienced in helping their clients navigate these challenges. Their job as investment sales agents is ultimately a brokering niche, and they get helpful information promptly to those who need it most. He’s passionate about his team’s ability to break down complex issues into an easily digestible order of operations to serve clients better. Grant likens real estate to needing a complex and rare surgery, in which case, you will likely seek out a surgeon who comes highly recommended by peers and possesses the skills and confidence to operate. He’s passionate about proficiently performing real estate surgery for their clients. “We won't let you bleed out on the table,” Grant exclaims.

 

At the time of writing this, Grant has the pleasure of representing a family selling a historic hotel in West Texas. He is hopeful that the deal, one of the most unique opportunities he’s had in real estate, will close in the next few months. The building is chock-full with history, from movie stars shooting blockbuster films in the lobby to rumors about Pancho Villa being an early patron. “Regardless of how this deal turns out, I've learned quite a lot along the journey, and I'm thankful for the opportunity,” Grant smiles.

 

Grant loves travelling around the world with his fiance, Rebecca, when he isn’t serving his clients or meeting them at Neighborhood F+B or the Lakeridge golf course. Together, they have a dog, a cat, and a bunny. When not vacuuming their furniture, they love to travel the world and eat delicious food. Grant reports that he’s an avid home cook. One of his favorite pastimes is creating something for his fiance to try. “I think most people I work with would be surprised by that,” Grant adds.

 

Grant reveals that most people would describe him as an optimistic realist, a strength that underscores his journey of launching into real estate from a Craigslist ad and joining clubs in college to decipher if the industry was right for him. “I want to be remembered as someone who thought for himself and wasn't afraid to reach for the stars and inspire others to do the same,” Grant remarks.

 

Though Grant wishes he had started real estate at the beginning of college, he is full steam ahead for his future in the industry. He’d like to continue getting more involved with the Center for Real Estate at Texas Tech and help students who were in his shoes.

 

“I'm grateful to go to work every day in an environment that encourages mentorship, dreaming big, and leading an extraordinary life,” Grant emphasizes. “When I speak with others who work in different workplaces, it becomes apparent that I have a unique working environment for the better, and for that, I'm extremely grateful.”
