Scott Brown Commercial: The Best at Helping Others
by Steve Gamel
One thing Jay Marks couldn’t help but marvel at growing up was how his dad always knew everything young Jay was up to, even when he wasn’t physically there to see it happen. It didn’t matter where Jay went — to the grocery store, on a joyriding trip with friends, or simply sneaking out for a milkshake after supper — dad had eyes everywhere.

worked hard to make friends in every part of town, every profession, and at every level,’” Jay said. “He was right. My dad had friends who were garbage men and others who were bank presidents.
“It was a very valuable lesson that I never forgot.”
As it turns out, the apple didn’t roll far from the tree. Everyone knows Jay Marks. No, seriously — everyone. And he knows them, too. Of course,

there are also people from all walks of life and in every profession.
They’ve spent time with him at local charity events, read his Foodie Friday articles hyping various local restaurants, partnered with him and his team on business deals, and become a fan simply because of his honest advice, down-to-earth personality, and uncanny ability to connect people.
“Just today, I got two calls from people looking for a plumber and one who needed an air conditioning person. I had a realtor call for a referral for a well inspector,” he said. “People know we are a resource for anything, whether it’s real estate, taking care of their house, or personal stuff.”
Jay and his growing team believe in connecting with people at the highest level, providing the best service possible, and building relationships that stand the test of time — long after the initial sale. For that reason alone, it’s no wonder that Jay Marks Real Estate earns the majority of its business off repeat business and referrals. Through August, they’ve already matched their total volume in sales from 2020.
And on top of that, they continue to grow. Jay has added two more agents to incredible team and plans to add more relationship-focused professionals in the coming months. his
“People say I’ve never met a stranger. We just want to be the ultimate resource for our customers and friends,” Jay said.

When you’ve been in the real estate world for as long as Brand Properties Group has, it doesn’t take long to become known as the neighborhood guide everyone trusts. erefore, the better question isn’t who have they helped along the way but rather, “Who haven’t they worked with yet?” e latter, in all honesty, is a pretty short list.

REALTOR Real Community
by Caylie Howard
It’s rare to nd someone who is solely dedicated to their community; someone who seeks to help and assist with the growth of the county’s local individuals. is is why Denton County is so privileged to be home to Keller Williams realtor and Best of Denton County winner, Chrissy Mallouf.
Chrissy moved to Denton County at 10 years old and has lived here ever since. But she didn’t start out as a realtor; she actually started out in banking. “People would tell me all the time that I would be a great realtor.” Chrissy said.
Chrissy soon found that working her 9-5 banking job along with working Saturdays wasn’t the most ideal for her when it came to raising her children. “I didn’t get into this career for the money. I became a realtor because I like helping people, and it gave
Chrissy said.
Chrissy helps about 100 people a year buy and sell their homes. Chrissy actually ranked 61 this year in the entire state of Texas for selling the most homes. “The most rewarding part of my career is that I get to be a part of someone’s story.” Chrissy said. “I build relationships with these people, and I get to help guide them through this process.”
Chrissy has always had a heart for volunteering and giving back to the community. “Community is important to me.” Chrissy said. Chrissy hosts a
clients come and bring donations. “I’ve always had the heart to serve and give back.” Chrissy said.
She added, “I care. I care about each and every person.”
When asked what sets her apart from the others she said, “You’re always going to get the real Chrissy. I will never come across as fake.”
With Chrissy’s dedication to her community and to helping others, Chrissy has proven time and time again that she is the true community realtor. It’s safe to say that her win for Best of Denton County is most certainly well deserved.

That’s why he’s been voted Best of Denton
three for the last seven years. It’s such an honor to be recognized by the community where he serves.
“My team and I make the process of buying a home fun with the least amount of stress,” said Tom. “If they have credit or any other kind of issues, I love getting them to qualify for a home.“
In fact, most of his clients say that he made the whole process fun and easy. When was the last time you said that about getting a mortgage? Tom says that when people easily qualify you make sure the rest of the process goes smoothly. But when they need help that’s when he really goes to work to follow up until he can get them to the closing table. His true passion is helping people and even if they needed extra help that’s just an exciting challenge to Tom.
Tom grew up in Lubbock where his mother was a professor at Texas Tech. Once he got to the Dallas
traveling and being around family and friends.
One would think Fairway was named after golf, but it was named Fairway because our CEO, Steve Jacobson, insists our clients have the “fair way”!!!
Tom supports his church, First Refuge Ministries and Sea Partners, which serves and educate the people of south Sudan. Serving people is a passion for Tom.
“I am passionate, caring and fun and that shows in my work and personal life” said Tom.

Best The
at helping others
by Terri Guthrie
As a senior at Denton High School in 1982, Scott Brown purchased his very rst rental house. Saving his money while working as a bus driver for years, and with some creative nancing, he was able to purchase 10 rental homes by the time he had graduated college at the University of North Texas. is was just the beginning! By 1992, this young entrepreneur opened Scott Brown Properties. And his business continued to ourish! In 1999 Real T Team was started, and by 2002, Scott Brown Commercial was established.
Scott says he learned so much about business from his father, Dale Brown, who was also a successful businessman from Denton. Dale was and continues to be Scott’s encouragement and mentor… and still gives him good advice!
So what makes Scott Brown so successful? For almost three decades, Scott Brown Properties has been dedicated to providing the residents and property owners of Denton County the highest quality service. Scott’s leadership and diligence of his employees is what has allowed his company to be successful and continue to grow.
One of the things that Scott has a knack for is helping others. Just like his father, Scott encourages and mentors others by helping them learn to believe in themselves. He’s obviously done a good job at that, as 35 of his former employees have now started their own companies!
“I love doing deals. That’s the fun part,” Scott said.
And if you call him, be assured he will call you back. He’s very particular that his vendors are always paid early. “As soon as an invoice comes in, payment is sent.” This is a valued business practice and a secret to his success.
Scott is very passionate about his family. He and wife, Shari, have been married 33 years and have
family at their house at Moss Lake. Also, Scott enjoys hunting. He often heads west to Tulia where they have a ranch near Palo Duro Canyon. He loves
League and Denton Main Street Association. They are members of Cross Timbers Church in Argyle.
When asked how he’d like to be remembered, Scott replied, “As a generous, caring man who takes great pride in being professional and ethical!”
