Brit Daniels
Coming Home
Growing up in Kennedale, Texas, Brit Daniels dreamed of a career as a musician. She started playing music at just three years old and began recording in her early teenage years. By the time she headed off to college at the University of North Texas, she was confident she’d be playing music professionally for the rest of her life. But, as is so often the case, God had other plans laid out for her.
Brit studied radio, television, and film at the University, preparing herself to work in the music industry while pursuing a career as a recording artist. She moved to Nashville after graduating to intern at BBR Music Group (Jason Aldean, Randy Houser, Joe Nichols) and Hill Entertainment Group (Jana Kramer, Rodney Atkins). Post-internship, she worked creatively alongside industry professionals who had also worked with Kanye West, The Chainsmokers, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and 30 Seconds to Mars, to name a few.
“Never in a million years did I think I’d end up back in Dallas. I was truly convinced I would live my life in Nashville,” Brit reflects.
As she got deeper into life in the music industry, however, Brit began to realize she wanted another line of work to support her financially. The music industry brought waves of highs and lows, and Brit desired more stability in her life.
“I just started praying about it, asking God to lead me and help put me into something else that would work with my songwriting and performing schedule,” she says.
Brit’s prayers were answered in an unexpected way. Soon after, the idea of selling real estate rose to the surface.
“My grandfather was a huge real estate investor growing up. I grew up around real estate, and I had some friends in the music industry shifting to do real estate, and they loved it. I could shift my energy and still write music during the day (which was required in Nashville), so I decided to go for it,” Brit explains. “Once I got into the business, I realized how much I could see my future in real estate. Things totally shifted.”
Coming Home
After a year and a half selling real estate in Nashville, Brit was starting to hit her stride in real estate. Then, she had a realization: She was ready to return home to Texas.
“I asked myself, ‘Why am I doing this in Nashville when I could do this back home where my family is?’”
Brit returned to Texas in 2020. There, her business took off.
“My database from growing up here, those people are using me as their agent now. My career has totally skyrocketed. I don't think I would have the same success if I stayed in Nashville,” she continues.
As an individual agent with Monument Realty, Brit closed 24 transactions for $13 million in 2022. In 2023, she’s looking to grow those statistics even further.
“Clients like working with me because I’m real and transparent. I want them to feel like they can talk to me about anything. I want them to feel they can really trust me and talk to me on a friend level. And at the end of the day, when I need to stand up for them, I will.”
Right Where She’s Meant to Be
When she’s not selling real estate, you’ll find Brit traveling (Italy is her favorite destination), spending time with friends and family, or playing music. After taking a break from recording for a few years, she’s returned to the studio and will be releasing a single soon.
As Brit reflects on her journey into real estate, she marvels at the path her life has taken her. She never imagined returning to Texas or selling real estate, but both have been incredibly fulfilling experiences. More importantly, both have helped her fulfill her mission to be the type of person others can count on.
“Never in a million years did I think I'd be back here, but I’ve never been happier. I’ve been led to my purpose. Who would've thought that's where that would have led me? But it's true — I’ve never been happier.”
