Simon Cox, Realtor with Empire Realty Group
I was born and raised in Arlington, TX just outside of Dallas. I studied Business at the University of Texas at Arlington & University of North Texas. In June 2012, I married a beautiful woman from Buffalo, NY and began working with our church in Grand Prairie, TX. We began missions work early 2013 which took us to Kansas City, Thailand and Colorado. In January 2015, we moved to Jordan to work with Syrian refugees. We did that for 1.5 yrs and now live in Metro-Detroit (Dearborn). We have 3 little boys with a 4th on the way! We attend Dearborn Evangelical Covenant Church where we are a part of a strong community of believers who help each other follow Jesus! I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading, running and playing soccer.
I work full-time as a Realtor servicing Southeast Michigan. Buying or selling a home is a major life event and I consider it an honor and joy to get to walk through the process with my clients! I also work as a real estate investor focusing on rental properties, fix-and-flips and other creative investing strategies.
In 2015, a friend of mine turned me on to the idea of real estate investing through some material on BiggerPockets.com. After I did some digging around online, it seemed that getting my real estate license would be a good move to help move me towards our family's long-term investing goals.
Shortly after receiving my license, I discovered how fun it was to work with clients who are looking to buy and sell! I started as a Realtor part-time in 2017 and went full-time in March of 2021!
