Going Places With Varun Rajan,  International Advisor
Tell us a bit about your background.
I’m originally from India, but came to the United States in 2018. I earned my master’s degree in land and property development from Texas A&M. And, although coming to Texas was a bit of a culture shock, the people were super accommodating, and it’s been a great experience. I actually earned my bachelor’s degree in architecture and worked in that area beforehand. I decided to transition over to this side of the business because I realized this was where the challenges were, and because I’d have the chance to meet more people. This side of things is more scalable.

What drew you to Belvoir?
After graduating, I knew I wanted to get into commercial real estate, but I wasn’t sure which side. A friend of mine who works with the company told me about all the great things Belvoir was doing in terms of brokerage, connections and networking, and it sounded like it would be a great fit. I started here in August.

What is the most rewarding part of your job? 
I love learning, and I’ve gotten to do a lot of that with the company. The team has been very supportive, encouraging me to go out there, figure it out and really take a hands-on approach to my job. Even when I do make mistakes, I’m learning from it and they’re very nice about it. That’s something you don’t see in most places. 

What projects have kept you busy with Belvoir?
Almost 100% of the projects I’ve worked on have been with industrial properties. My role revolves mostly around managing documents for the brokerage team because they’re out there meeting clients — and they don’t always have time. If they need something like a listing agreement or purchasing sale, they’ll send me the details and I’ll pull them together. 

What is something about the industry that you’d like people to know?
Many people coming into real estate underestimate the value of a relationship. I’ve learned that everybody in the industry is connected to one another. So, you should never hesitate to reach out and introduce yourself to someone. In the long run, it’s definitely going to pay off. 

What are your hobbies outside of work?
About 90% of my hobbies have been rendered unfulfillable due to COVID, but I love to travel and explore new cities. Last year I got to visit Denver around Christmas time, and it was beautiful — such a change of pace and scenery. I’m also big on photography, and I carry a camera with me all the time. Working out is another stress reliever for me, but that’s been harder with the pandemic.
