Veteran commercial real estate broker branches out with one-man shop
After four decades in commercial real estate, Bruce Milam is going it alone.
Milam in recent weeks launched Bruce Commercial Realty, his own one-man real estate firm.
Milam started his career in real estate in the late 1970s as a developer in Northern Virginia, building up all sorts of projects around Dulles International Airport. Shortly after the real estate market crashed in the early 1990s, he moved to Richmond and the brokerage side of the business.
“I said, ‘I’m tired of fighting these battles.’ I sold my interest in what I had left and I moved to Richmond. I found that life was a lot easier down here. The whole blood pressure thing goes down,” Milam said, laughing.
