My name is Chanda. Not many can pronounce my first name - so I have been known to use my middle name, Leigh, in my professional life as well. So, please, call me what you like...heck - you can call me Al if you prefer!

I have been emersed in all things Real Estate as long as I can remember. I was a Mortgage Broker for 10+ years (I owned Kingwood Mortgage for at least 5 of those years) and then the market took the big dive and I decided to take a job in Corporate America for the stability and insurance. I spent 5 years as a Risk Analyst for a Real Estate Investment Trust and earned my chops handling large property insurance claims for my employer (Weingarten Realty - who owned large grocery store anchored strip centers along the US coast) after Hurricane Ike.

I got my Real Estate License in October of 2010 - thinking that I would make use of it handling real estate transactions for just my friends and family - then secured my Certified Risk Management designation with the intention of moving up the ladder at Weingarten. At the end of year 5, it became clear that my chances of moving up depended on my Risk Director taking a job elsewhere (no chance of that I discovered) and I took a position as the Contract Risk Manager with a Oil & Gas Services Company. Once hired, they quickly discovered that I had corporate insurance and real estate experience...and handed all of the above to me. I became the Global Risk & Real Estate Manager for TAM International, Inc. and handled ALL contract negotiations globally, ALL global insurance placements, and developed industrial real estate for the company around the world...keeping my Texas Real Estate License in play the entire time. Texas Real Estate was simply a side-hustle...and I did A LOT OF IT in the 7 years I was with TAM. So much so that I was able to leave the grind to do this full-time at the end of 2019...and I am FINALLY exactly where I belong.
