About

Ben Burnside

Ben is an entrepreneur at heart. He began his first business at the age of 15 and has started, bought, and sold several other companies since that time. During college Ben discovered his love for real estate. He graduated with a BBA in Business Real Estate from the University of North Texas, but not before buying his first rental property. After college Ben got his real estate license and quickly became the top salesman at ERA Cornerstone and has been recognized nationally as a top producer. Ben attributes his success to building lasting relationships with his clients and delivering service that exceeds expectations. In 2010, Ben obtained his brokers license. Shortly after, Ben and his wife Kristen had the good fortune to partner with David & Alberta Caswell and became co-owners of ERA Cornerstone. As the managing broker, Ben leads a team of 30 top notch realtors. Ben will tell you that one of the team’s goals is to be the most productive office per agent in DFW. Growing at an extraordinary pace for the last several years, ERA Cornerstone is well on its way to accomplishing that goal. When not working, Ben can be found spending time with Kristen, his wife of 11 years, and their four children. We do pretty much everything together as a family, says Ben. We are active in our church and community, but we also love to travel, especially to beach destinations. The family also loves outdoor activities such as basketball, biking, fishing, and skiing.

Andrew Clark

Andrew Clark grew up in Utah frequenting many of the iconic National Parks and spent a lot of time camping and boating on the lakes these Parks offer. After moving to Texas with his wife, he has continued his love of lakes and enjoys spending time with his family wake-surfing behind a boat or barbecuing on the shore. North Texas boasts many impressive lakes with breathtaking views and people are eager to find real estate nearby. Andrew appreciates the beauty and lifestyle that accompanies living by these lakes and has spent a great deal of his real estate career to cater to these individuals who seek lake living.

Andrew Clark brings a strategic, tech-savvy yet personable approach to the home buying and home selling process. Drawing from years of experience as a marketing entrepreneur, Andrew has built a reputation for his refreshingly friendly customer care and proven ability to guide buyers to obtain the best value for their dream home and to assist sellers to a smooth, stress-free sale of their lakeside home.

Brenda Debus

Growing up by a beach in Virginia, Brenda Debus understands the pull to waterfront living.  In one day, a person can experience the excitement of racing a boat, manning the sails, or jet skiing alongside a friend; and in that same day, experience the serenity and soothing qualities that a still body of water can offer.

Brenda Debus brings to the table a background with a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology.  This allows her to understand the intricacies of behavior and the needs and wants of an individual, and to understand the emotional impact that buying and selling can have on people and their families.  She walks her buyers and sellers through every step of the home-buying process, and is extremely  knowledgeable in contract negotiations. She has been licensed since 2011 and obtained her broker’s license in 2016. One of the top producers in her office, she has consistently proven that hard work and attention to detail have been the key to a successful career.

In her spare time, Brenda loves to work out with Camp Gladiator, volunteer with patients at an assisted living facility in town, and spending as much time as possible with her husband of 21 years and two teenagers—out on the lake!

Autumn Middlebrooks

I am originally from Valley View, Texas and have lived in North Texas my entire life. I graduated from University of North Texas in 2003 with a Bachelor of Business Finance Degree. I took my bachelor’s degree and began a career in the oil and gas industry for 15 years. At the need of 2017, I needed a change of pace because my comfortable 8-5 job was leaving me feeling like I needed more…more connection…more flexibility…more happiness.

When I am not doing real estate, I am active with my husband Travis and our three wonderful children, Avery, Ayla, and Maddox. We are an outdoors family and can typically be found near just about any body of water. I am a small town country girl, and my husband and I feel it’s important for our kids to appreciate nature, play in the dirt, and learn entertainment can come from places other than electronics.

My customers quickly transition from clients to friendships…that go well beyond closing. I love that I am finally in a career that challenges me with its unpredictability. There are always new people to meet, new houses to show, and new homes to sell. I love being able to help my clients with any uneasiness that comes with buying/selling…from staging their house for a sell to finding their new dream home, making them happy is (and always will be) my goal.
