About Us

Collin Brown is a licensed real estate broker, Broker-in-Charge, and licensing course instructor. As the son of career teachers and with a M.Ed. in counseling, Collin has a built-in passion for teaching and helping open doors for others aspiring to enter the real estate field.  After graduating from Southern High in Durham, he played baseball on scholarship at NC State University and was blessed to have a brief stint of professional baseball in the Frontier League. In 2019, he became a Broker-in-Charge and founded the real estate firm Fluent Realty.  He made the transition to full time real estate after 13 years teaching high school Spanish.  Growing up and teaching in Durham has given Collin a unique perspective that values diversity, equity, and inclusion.  His faith is the driving force behind all he does and he believes that any blessings that one has been given are meant to be shared.  Collin continues to call Durham home where he lives with his wife Sarahi, son Daniel, and their German Shorthair Pointer Dash.
When not teaching class or working with buyers and sellers, Collin's greatest joy comes from being his son's biggest fan and traveling across the country (and world) to cheer him on.
