40 Under 40: Mitchell Braun

Mitchell Braun does his best to weave his professional and personal Jewish lives together.

A real estate agent, Braun is part of the Georgia chapter of CREDA (Commercial Real Estate Development Association, formerly NAIOP), and a member of their Future Leaders Class, for which he helps plan trips, and as part of which he does volunteer work for Ron Clark Academy.

He’s an active participant in all areas where Real Estate work and being Jewish overlap, attending JCREN events and The Deal Club, a great new grassroots group of young Jewish professionals in the industry looking to connect personally and professionally

His nominator notes a unique aspect of Braun’s success in his career.

“What truly distinguishes him is his ability to pair professional excellence with genuine compassion. He is not only committed to achieving results but also to strengthening relationships, supporting others, and making a positive and lasting impact on the commercial real estate community as a whole.”

An Atlanta native, Braun graduated from The Weber School, and while his connection to Judaism has been, by his own admission, somewhat fluid over their years, he has recently begun reconnecting with it.

“We recently re-joined The Temple and my daughter attends WELC daycare, and seeing her excitement around learning our traditions, prayers, and songs has been inspiring and fostered an even stronger connection personally to our faith. She has reminded me how important preserving our traditions and embracing our identity is especially in the face of growing antisemitism.”

Braun notes that in his spare time, which is increasingly infrequent, I love to cook for my family, listen to music, and sneak in a round of golf.
