Prior to founding MDB Realty, Brimhall achieved record successes at Trump International, one of the world’s most significant real estate brands. During his tenure at Trump, he served as Corporate Broker, Senior Sales and Marketing Officer, and Corporate Officer at The Trump International Hotel Las Vegas, Residential Collection. As an executive officer of the property with Donald Trump, the newly elected President of the United States of America, and Phil Ruffin, he managed, created, and executed Las Vegas’ worldwide marketing, sales, and public relations functions for the residential division (this includes $1.5 billion of residential product priced to $3,500,000 per unit).

At every stage of Brimhall’s career, he has achieved record sales despite the economic recession and market turns. Along with his steady rise within the industry, he made ample sales increases at one of the fastest selling high-rise towers within the market, Allure Las Vegas.
