Employee Spotlight: Ben Brasee
I joined CSS in May 2021 and have appreciated the seamless onboarding and positive experience of getting to know the teams. I also appreciate CSS’s unique value proposition and approach, and its intentionally excellent culture.
A bit about myself: I got into the real estate industry unintentionally. In 2011, I was working in the mail room of an IRA firm and ended up joining their real estate investments operation. In 2015, I transitioned to the title and escrow field, and have since enjoyed solving new challenges creatively for clients in the residential, agricultural, and commercial spaces.
My wife Jess and I have been married for 8 years and we have a 3-year-old daughter, Noelle, who is remarkably insightful.
After almost a decade out of school, I am currently a student again, in the process of earning an MBA degree.
In my free time, my favorite recreational activity is running.
