Grind Society, Built by Brayton & Team

Walden Lacey

Founder & Visionary

15 Years In Real Estate

Walden sees the opportunity before most people see the property. His experience spans brokerage leadership, recruiting, team ownership, flips, rentals, and new construction. He gives agents a clear-eyed partner for building wealth through real estate, not just closing the next deal.

• Led Greenville’s largest and most profitable Keller Williams office for four years, averaging nearly 3,000 annual sales
• Recruited more than 400 agents and co-owns Spartanburg’s No. 1 real estate team
• Completed 120+ flip and resale projects; currently has 18 new-construction homes underway with 85% pre-sold

Brian O'Neill

Founder & Production Leader

7× eXp ICON Agent

Brian entered real estate in 2014 while still serving as a firefighter, then built enough momentum to retire from the fire department early. Today he leads through disciplined production, an unusually loyal client base, and the calm-under-pressure instincts you would expect from a first responder.

• No. 1 in South Carolina eXp sales volume in 2024 and No. 3 statewide in 2025
• Seven-time eXp ICON Agent with 60% of his business generated by past-client referrals
• First-responder specialist with a business mix of approximately 60% buyers and 40% listings

Steven DeLisle

Founder & Luxury Advisor

$20M First-Year eXp ICON

Licensed since 2014, Steven established himself as an award-winning producer from the start. He ICONed in his first year at eXp with $20 million in volume and brings a polished, luxury-focused perspective to the group. The production has been consistently strong; the hair, somehow, keeps improving too.

• Award-winning agent since launching his real estate career in 2014
• Earned eXp ICON status in his first year with $20 million in sales volume
• Luxury-focused advisor known for elevated marketing and client service

Anthony Weston

Founder & Team Builder

9 Years In Real Estate

Anthony went from a solo agent selling 60 to 70 homes a year to co-owning the No. 1 team in Spartanburg, the same team, incidentally, that Walden keeps mentioning at parties. He thrives in the team model and is as much a supporter as he is a leader, with a rare gift for keeping people: agents, clients, and his own calendar, which he defends fiercely for time with family and friends.

• Grew from solo agent selling 60–70 units a year to co-owner of the No. 1 team in the Spartanburg MLS
• On pace for 125+ units this year
• Six years on the Agent Leadership Council with KW Spartanburg
• Known for agent and client retention, and for fully disconnecting from business to be present with family

Kyle Sizemore

Founder & Strategic Advisor

$120M+ Facilitated Since 2020

After moving to the Upstate in 2013, Kyle and his wife, Bri, built their life and business around service, strategy, and long-term impact. He advises buyers, sellers, business owners, and investors across Greenville and the Upstate with the same goal: make the complex feel clear and the next move feel intentional.

• Helped facilitate more than $120 million in residential and commercial real estate since 2020
• Experienced in relocation, downsizing, commercial space, land, and investment acquisitions
• Brings expertise in creative financing, redevelopment, and long-term portfolio strategy
