About The Beard Bros

Hey! My name is Cody Brookes. I help homeowners of distressed and unwanted properties get out from underneath the burden of homeownership.

Because I purchase properties directly from owners, there is no Realtor or other party involved. I’m able to help folks get cash in their pockets much quicker than if they went through the process of hiring a Realtor and listing a house on the MLS.

I named my company Ethos REI (that stands for Real Estate Investment, by the way) because I believe in doing business ethically. My goal is to help anyone in a tough situation with a property looming over them.

Folks I work with are going through divorces and separations, dealing with a loved one’s estate, or are facing a foreclosure or tax delinquency. Sometimes even a landlord is just tired of dealing with a property and wants ou

In all these cases, I want to help out, and help out in an ethical way. Sometimes that means recommending someone to not sell their property to me. In cases like this, I connect them to a trusted Realtor who can help them sell their property for maximum profit.

A Bit More About Me

I’ve lived in the DFW area for most of my life and have been able to see all the amazing changes to the cities and towns here. Everything has grown so much in such a short amount of time.

I recently graduated college and have been working for a large investment firm in the DFW area. My role involves working with a lot of people, and it has taught me how important it is to build relationships with everyone you work with. I’ve also experienced firsthand how being kind and doing the right thing will get you so much farther in life, and that’s how I aim to treat everyone I encounter.

My family has also taught me the value of building relationships and helping others. They extended themselves quite a bit to help me get to where I am today, and now I want to start giving back as they reach their retirement years.

When I’m not helping someone sell a home, I enjoy playing basketball, lifting weights, and generally living a healthy lifestyle. Travel is something else I enjoy doing, and I used to travel four or five times a year or more because my parents work for an airline. (I love everything about travel except airports, with all the people rushing around you!)

I love to solve problems. As soon as my curiosity gets piqued by a problem, I’m doing everything I can to find a solution. People also tell me I’m extremely kind. I never want to put someone in a bad situation—it makes me uncomfortable even if I can do something to help them into a better situation but don’t. To me, doing the right thing and helping others is more important than just trying to make money or get ahead in life.

I love solving problems and doing good work so much that sometimes I have a hard time striking a work/life balance. I enjoy helping people and often forget to help myself. I get so invested in something that I go all-in on it—then pay the price later on when I start feeling burnt out. I realize now that it’s important to rest, take vacations, spend time with family, and enjoy hobbies to stay refreshed and motivated. By helping myself, I can better help others.

What Makes Beard Bros Different?

A lot of people get the impression that real estate investors are just money-hungry people who want to lowball people who need to sell their houses. That’s not the Beard Bros way.

One time, I was trying to help someone sell his house, but after lots of negotiating, we just couldn’t come to a deal that would benefit both of us. I called my recommended real estate agent and I arranged for him to list the house instead.

My commitment to each of my clients is to do my absolute best to strike a deal that benefits both of us.
