About Reno T. Pratt Jr.
From Corporate Executive to Real Estate Visionary
From Corporate Executive to Real Estate Visionary
My journey into real estate was anything but accidental. I began with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance from Morgan State University, where I built a foundation in financial analysis, risk management, and strategic planning. For years, I thrived in corporate leadership roles, managing business strategy and financial portfolios for large organizations. But while corporate America sharpened my analytical skills, it also revealed something to me: true wealth and transformation happen through ownership, not employment.
That realization led me to pursue specialized education that would allow me to combine financial expertise with real-world real estate execution. I enrolled at Florida International University, where I earned my Master’s in International Real Estate. This program is considered one of the most prestigious real estate graduate degrees in the nation, and it gave me advanced insights into:
- Global market dynamics and how international capital flows affect local markets
- Complex deal structuring that goes far beyond simple transactions
- Institutional investment strategies that most small and mid-sized investors never see
But I didn’t stop there. To bridge the critical gap between finance and construction, I went on to earn a Certificate in Construction Finance from Columbia University. This Ivy League credential gave me advanced training in construction project financing, capital deployment, and risk mitigation — a skill set that very few real estate professionals possess.
Through this journey, I saw the industry’s biggest weakness firsthand: fragmentation. Investors were forced to juggle multiple disconnected service providers — lenders who didn’t understand development, contractors who didn’t understand investment strategy, and consultants who vanished after submitting a report. The result? Projects that failed not because of bad ideas, but because of poor execution.
I knew there had to be a better way. My education and experience gave me the clarity to design it: a fully integrated real estate ecosystem that connects capital access, development strategy, construction execution, and brokerage services into one seamless system.
Building Something Better
An integrated real estate platform designed for predictable profitability.
In 2018, I made a bold commitment: to build the most comprehensive, integrated real estate platform in the Baltimore–Washington region. My mission was to eliminate the silos that cause most projects to fail and replace them with accountability, alignment, and proven systems.
This vision came to life through four interconnected platforms:
- Monstar Revenue: Our financing arm that handles loan brokerage, credit optimization, and capital readiness
- Xselleo: Our development consulting division, providing deal analysis, underwriting, and project management strategies
- Renovation ROI: Our construction services company focused on investor-centered renovations and project execution
- Samson Properties (Brokerage): Where I leverage my real estate license to help clients buy, sell, and maximize property opportunities
Together, these services form a complete real estate success ecosystem. Every component is aligned toward one outcome: delivering predictable profitability for our clients.
My Columbia training in construction finance ensures we can structure even the most complex development projects. My FIU graduate-level real estate education brings global best practices to local markets. And my financial background ensures deals are structured in a way that maximizes both short-term gains and long-term wealth creation.

Excellence Always
95% client satisfaction isn’t an accident. It’s the result of structured systems, constant refinement, and a culture of never settling for “good enough.

Client-Centric Focus
Every recommendation and decision is guided by one question: Does this serve our client better? If the answer is no, it doesn’t make it into our process.

Beyond Business
For me, real estate isn’t just about numbers, properties, or profits. It’s about people. It’s about families securing generational wealth, small business owners creating opportunity, and communities being revitalized through thoughtful development.
Outside of work, I devote time to mentorship, education, and community engagement. I regularly speak at investment clubs, mentor new investors in the RenoPratt Premium community, and support local initiatives that promote neighborhood development and financial literacy.
When I’m not in the office or on a job site, you’ll find me with my family, enjoying Baltimore’s vibrant neighborhoods, or brainstorming ways to bring more innovation to the real estate space.
My belief is simple: business success and community growth go hand in hand. When we help investors succeed, we also strengthen neighborhoods, create jobs, and improve the quality of life for countless families.
