Modern Luxury's June 2022 Power Players spotlight featured Justin Bruni, Senior Vice President at Wedgewood Homes — tracing his path from a career fair at the University of Nevada Las Vegas to leading one of the country's most active residential real estate operations.
From Navy Veteran to Real Estate Leader
Justin Bruni is a Navy veteran and Las Vegas native who first encountered Wedgewood Homes as a student at UNLV. The opportunity set him on a professional path he'd follow for the next 17 years. Today, as Senior Vice President, Bruni leads teams responsible for revitalizing communities through the acquisition, renovation, and resale of single-family homes across more than 35 years of company history.
Las Vegas as the First Expansion Market
With Las Vegas as their first expansion market, Wedgewood Homes now operates in over 32 markets across 22 states. Bruni's team is laser-focused on improving communities one home at a time — and in doing so, contributing to addressing the housing supply shortage across the United States.
The feature also highlights Wedgewood Homes' commitment to local real estate professionals. In 2021, Wedgewood Homes contributed over $100 million in gross commissions to agent partners across the country. "Our people are the secret sauce that everyone is trying to write code around these days, but you just can't in this industry," Bruni said.
Why the Work Matters
The article touches on what drives Bruni's focus — the intersection of affordability and community impact. "Affordability is a huge factor with people getting pressed between higher rents or higher interest rates," he said. "This makes our work so important. Reimagining, renovating and reselling the homes we buy ensures the continued flow of housing back into homeowners' hands."
