“Information is power,” Faisal says. “Understanding the nuances of the market at any 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 enthusiastic 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. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, Children’s Medical Center Foundation, Giveback Homes, the North Texas Food Bank, UNICEF, and the SPCA of Texas. “It’s important to understand the world we live in, not just the numbers on a screen,” Faisal says. “Participating in the culture of our city is part of living here.”
