Land broker and member of the Blue Ridge Association of REALTORS® (BRAR), Brad “B.K” Haynes proves that with hard work and determination, success is in reach at any age.

When B.K. began his real estate career in 1966, his sights were set high on becoming successful.  Motivated by the idea of living an exceptional life, then 32 year old Haynes was determined to push past his own perceived limits by instilling the idea of never giving up. Now, with over 50 years of experience being a land broker, B.K. has developed and sold over 300 square miles of land for rural home sites. His energy extends beyond real estate, too. Inspired by his creativity and love for writing, he is the author of three books. His most recent title, ‘Racin’ Past 80,’ encourages and advises prosperity for seniors. When it comes to success B.K. Haynes proves that age is really just a number.

After a long career, what tip would he share with fellow REALTORS®? “Have a definite idea of what you want to accomplish and follow through to get there – be specific with your goals.”
