“Information is power,” Faisal says. “Understanding the nuances of the market at any given moment is how I provide the most value to my clients, whether they are buying or selling. Every client is different. Every neighborhood is different. Every street is different. Most importantly, every price tier in the market needs a different strategy. This is what we do. I am dealing with the largest, most important asset a client has, and I remember that every step of the way.”

Faisal is passionate about giving back to North Texas. He serves on the board of the Dallas Architecture Forum and supports the Dallas Museum of Art, the Dallas Contemporary, the Booker T.
