Join Chris Ford and Garland Harris Jr. for Episode 16 of Million Dollars Worth of Real Estate as they welcome special guest Dr. Courtney Johnson Rose, a former professor of Garland's from Prairie View A&M University's Master of Community Development program and CEO of George E. Johnson Development.

This episode is packed with an incredible blend of family legacy, academic insight, and modern real estate development strategy. Dr. Rose shares the inspiring 50-year journey of her family's firm, detailing how a $500 investment led to becoming a leading real estate brokerage and eventually a major force in community development, including the planning of the 234-acre Corinthian Point master-planned community.

Dr. Rose also opens up about her personal transition from a lucrative management consulting career at Accenture to full-time real estate development—a move triggered by the ethical dilemma of "getting rid of Sally" (automation) and a desire to make a tangible, positive impact on communities.

Discover:

• 🔑 How Dr. Rose’s father's law school class led to a real estate license and a successful family business that broke racial barriers in franchising.
• 🎓 The unique role of the Prairie View Master of Community Development program in bridging the gap between academia and real estate practice.
• 💻 The critical role of data and analytics in modern real estate, construction management, and urban planning, and how AI is rapidly changing the development landscape.
• 💡 Why efficiency and process optimization (learned in corporate America) are key to scaling a real estate business.

This is a must-listen for future real estate developers, investors, and anyone interested in the intersection of legacy, education, and large-scale community impact. Subscribe now and join the community!
