With over 25 years in finance, accounting, and marketing and a Master of Business Administration, I bring a unique blend of analytical prowess, strategic insight, and creative vision to the real estate industry.

My background in strategic marketing has equipped me with the skills to effectively promote properties, understand market trends, and connect with clients on a deeper level by "putting myself in my customers' shoes". Throughout my marketing career, I successfully led campaigns that increased brand visibility and drove sales growth for multibillion-dollar companies. This experience has honed my ability to create compelling narratives around properties, ensuring that each listing stands out in a competitive market.

In 1997, Bryant graduated from Johnson & Wales University with an honors degree in Entrepreneurship and then embarked on a career in business. Shortly thereafter, he fortunately stumbled into the real estate industry.
In his first year as a REALTOR, he was named Rookie of the Year in a firm with over 200 agents and since 2004 he has been very fortunate to have been involved in producing well over 100 million dollars in sales volume. Now that he’s opened Legacy Partners Realty, he’s extremely excited about building upon his existing business and relationships in Southern Rhode Island, where he has now lived since 2006.
On a personal note, he is the son of immigrant parents who came to this county from the Cape Verde Islands in 1969. In addition to a rich cultural heritage, his lineage has provided him with fluency in two languages, English and Cape Verdean Creole. Bryant lives in South Kingstown on the Charlestown line with his two young adult sons, Evan and Ryan. Also residing in the Da Cruz household are two dogs Tallulah Lu (170 LB English Mastiff) and Bleu (French Bulldog). When he is not busy selling real estate, Bryant likes to spend his time with his family, martial arts, exercise, going out to dinner, sports, boating, trying new experiences and most of all supporting and watching his boys grow into fine young men.
Bryant is always ready to lend a helping hand and has often motivated others to do the same. From 2005 to 2013, he was an integral part of the Board of Directors for Habitat for Humanity of RI—Greater Providence, Inc. where they built 11 homes in his last year on the board. He belongs to and has also helped many other organizations including the following:
