Brad Van Horn

After graduating from Hanover College in Indiana in 1993 with degrees in Political Science and Communications, Brad began his nearly 15-year career in sales, marketing, franchising, and entrepreneurship.

While living in Indiana , Brad was an active part-owner of two successful small businesses – a private investigations firm that is still one of the largest in that state, and a brand marketing company that specialized in the needs of car dealerships branded by the Big Three automakers. He quickly learned the necessary skills to be a small business owner, but after 10 years, felt like he needed a change.

After moving to Florida , Brad worked as the Sales and Marketing Manager for a national franchisor specializing in the education field. His responsibilities included selling franchises and developing marketing campaigns for new franchise owners. After a couple of years, Brad was hired to be the National Account Manager for the nation's largest provider of online education programs for working executives. Specializing in corporate education and training for Fortune 1000 companies, he represented numerous prestigious Universities including Villanova, Notre Dame, and Tulane.

Brad settled in Charlotte after extensive business travel for the past 15 years. At VR Charlotte, he focuses on the needs of other successful business owners.

“Since I have been on both sides of the table, as a business owner and someone who has sold businesses before, I truly understand what the client is going through. There is a lot of emotion that goes into the buying and/or selling of a business. I will do my part to take the guesswork out of that process.”

Brad currently lives in the Ballantyne area of Charlotte .
