Inglewood real estate icon Ted Brass passed away on July 19. Circumstances surrounding his death were not available at press time.
The beloved real estate broker was a familiar face around Inglewood, and maintained an office at 2639 W. Manchester Blvd. Ted began his career at Century 21, where he spent 25 years as an investment division/ REO department manager. He consistently performed in the top 1 percent of sales volume nationwide.
In 2004, Ted founded Ted Brass Real Estate Solutions, a real estate brokerage firm with Glenda Brass (CEO/Managing Partner). TBRES has a reputable presence in the community and a network of over 45,000 industry professionals, providing clients with varied educational resources and support.
Ted’s reputation as a businessman and mentor earned him a position on the Inglewood Board of Commissioners, along with Glenda. Together, they worked on the development team of the 527 Regent Street housing development
A consummate professional, who always strived to reach the next level, Ted achieved numerous real estate certifications, including residential, investment and 1031 exchange certifications. He also had 2 Bachelor of Science degrees in Business Administration and Public Administration
He was the past president of the Consolidated Board of Realtists, and active member of the California Assn. of Real Estate Brokers. A mentor to many, and staunch advocate for fair housing, Ted was also an innovator within his field. He founded a program called “Exit With Dignity” which encourages owners in foreclosure to short sale their house instead of going through the modification process. Through it, homeowners could receive a cash payout to leave.
Ted will be remembered for his 40 plus years in the industry, his calm demeanor and his sage advice to new and experienced home and business owners alike.
“Ted Brass’s dedication and commitment to excellence have left an indelible mark on the California Association of Real Estate Brokers. His unwavering passion for advocating for fair housing and his tireless efforts in promoting diversity and inclusion within our industry have set a high standard for all of us to aspire to.
“As we reflect on Ted’s remarkable life and career, we remember a man who embodied integrity, kindness, and leadership. His contributions went beyond professional achievements; he was a friend to many, always ready with a helping hand and a word of encouragement,” said Ria Cotton-Landry, President of the California Assn. of Real Estate Brokers.
Inglewood Today fondly remembers Ted and the many ways he lent his support over the years. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ted’s family, friends and the many clients whose lives he touched.
