For nearly six decades, the Brandenburg name has been associated with real estate. Notably in the 1950’s, Lee Brandenburg began his career as a real estate broker and then developer of single-family subdivisions within the City of San Jose, California and surrounds.  In the 1960’s and 1970’s, Lee’s attention turned to commercial developments and together with partners Rudy Staedler and John Moore, formed Brandenburg, Staedler & Moore, becoming one of the nation’s leading owners/developers of mobile home communities.  In 1978, Lee’s son Eric join his father and formed Brandenburg Properties and since that time, Brandenburg Properties has been headquartered in San Jose, California and doing business across all facets of the real estate industry up and down California and the southern United States.
