ZillowVERIFIEDBrandon was fantastic to work with. As first time homebuyers, he taught us a lot on what might cause potential issues, with knowledge of a ballpark fixing price and effort required on our price. During the whole process, Brandon never pressured us to make a purchase on any home. We felt as if he had our best interests in mind the entire time. He was incredibly helpful when we had some last minute curveballs from the bank, and walking us through all of our available options. Brandon was flexible with our touring schedule and responsive to all of our questions. We will be giving Brandon's name to all of our friends and family members for their real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I absolutely emphatically recommend Brandon to anyone looking to buy a house. As first time home buyers, Brandon was incredibly patient with us as we figured out what we were looking for. He was beyond flexible and willing to meet us at every house we wanted to see, even taking us back for a second look on the same day or meeting us the very day a house popped up that we were interested in. Brandon was so responsive and easy to contact both when we had a question about a house or when we got into the process of making offers. More than all that, we really truly had a genuine feeling from Brandon that he did not just want to make a sale and move on from us. Every house we visited he had a checklist of items he looked out for and pointed out to us, that was even more extensive than what our parents told us to look for. Brandon knew that this was all new to us and that as first time home buyers we did not want to buy a house that would come with surprises down the line, and he pointed out things that went beyond aesthetics to make sure we fully understood what each house was going to need in the years ahead. His knowledge of homes in the central Minnesota area is extensive, as is his knowledge of house related repairs and updates and what that all means, which we were so grateful for. My parents even met Brandon a couple of times and they instantly felt better about us buying a house in his hands. When it was time for making offers, Brandon was always upfront and clear, and explained everything through in a way that was professional and not at all condescending. He knew exactly what steps to take on offers during the negotiation process, and was able to help us successfully navigate back and forth with the sellers on the house we ended up purchasing and getting them to complete needed safety repairs. We ended up finding the absolute perfect home in St. Louis Park and could not be more grateful for Brandons role in helping us get here! In summary, Brandon was an absolutely amazing realtor for us. We could not ask for anyone better, and we cannot wait until we know someone looking to buy a house so we can send them to Brandon!

ZillowVERIFIED I am extremely grateful to have had Brandon as my realtor as a first-time condo owner. He truly went above & beyond the call of duty, saving me money on my purchase, letting me know of any potential safety/financial issues when looking at properties, and being super responsive to any questions I had. Not only was Brandon very kind, patient, and easy to talk to; he was also very competent and thorough during my purchase. I would absolutely recommend him first to anyone looking for an excellent realtor! In addition, one of the main reasons I worked with Brandon (rather than other realtors) was the fact that he was *not* pushy. He is very patient (but also knowledgeable/informative) and puts your interests first!

ZillowVERIFIED Can not say enough good things about Brandon. This man works around the clock, and always has your best interest in mind. Always very responsive to text or phone calls. Helped us negotiate in both the selling and buying process to get us fair deals in both situations. Brandon was very thoughtful of how overwhelming the process can be, and the other things we had going on in our lives. He was always willing to take the time to explain all of our options and help us understand anything we didnt understand. The list goes on and on, this is what a Real Estate Agent is meant to look like, he is proud of what he does and is genuinely happy to help people through the home buying/ selling journey.

ZillowVERIFIED Brandon was nothing short of amazing as our realtor. He was always available for any questions we had and was proactive in both making recommendations and getting information to help inform our decisions, both as a buyer and seller. If we ever have to move again, he will be amongst the first to know.

ZillowVERIFIED Brandon is AMAZING! We shopped around realtors a bit before meeting Brandon and never needed anyone else. He was always very responsive to our messages and requests and is very knowledgable. Most importantly, he was always very honest with us! If I ever want to buy/sell again, Brandon is the first person Ill call.

ZillowVERIFIED After working with a prior agent and getting no results, we switched on a recommendation from a friend to Brandon and were happy we did. Brandon was always available to have immediate conversations unless onsite with another client but called back ASAP. Brandon gladly spent after hours times showing us houses to suit our workday needs. He was aggressive in our deal and advocated for us in every way possible. Most of all.... Brandon has and exuded a positive attitude which helped keep our spirits up as we waded through todays horrible buyers market. The only downside to Brandon is that helped us buy our forever home and we wont be able to use his service again anytime soon.

ZillowVERIFIED Brandin has been Fantastic to work with! As a new home buyer he communicated every step of the way which was super helpful. Brandon also was extremely responsive to any small question or concern I had and was not judgmental and took all of my concerns extremely respectful and throughly. He does the proper due diligence and really wants to find the right house for his clients and listens really well to his clients. He goes above and beyond to help people get what is needed. He is honest and friendly and supportive with the process the whole way through. He?s a good guy to and helps even after closing if needed. He really Wants to help people find their homes and is not concerned about just selling a house. I would highly recommend Brandon. He had great resources to help with any professional work that may be needed as well. I?m super happy with his work and help and would highly recommend him to any potential home buyer.

ZillowVERIFIED Brandon was an extreme asset to me when I sold my home. He had a great understanding of the market. He met with me and listened carefully to what my needs were. After the meeting, Brandon created a marketing plan to sell my home. I had a very specific piece of property which required a very unique buyer. It wasn?t the type of home that would sell easily. Through the entire process Brandon was there to answer questions and review ideas as the market changed. I highly recommend Brandon and his team if you are selling or buying property.

ZillowVERIFIED Brandon was great! Always responsive and willing to help with anything when I was out of town. His pre-marketing plan proved to be very successful as I received an offer at my asking price before we even listed my home on the MLS. Fast and fully valued - you really can?t do any better than that!

ZillowVERIFIED Brandon made this process so easy and enjoyable for us (we were first time homebuyers)! His patience, understanding, and knowledge were so appreciated. He helped us every step of the way, answered our numerous questions, and we felt comfortable with the entire process. We trust his work and will absolutely be recommending him to everyone!

ZillowVERIFIED Fantastic experience searching for and buying my first home! Brandon?s insight and responsiveness made the process much smoother. He answered all my questions, pointed out things I hadn?t even thought to ask about, and really paid attention to what I was looking for in a house, forwarding me pre-listings that matched my criteria. Brandon was also able to refer me to a mortgage lender and insurance agent, and even sent me contact info for home inspectors that previous clients had used (no pressure ? I was overwhelmed by all the choices and asked for recommendations). I will definitely be recommending Brandon to my friends & family!

ZillowVERIFIED As soon as we met Brandon and started talking about what our family needed in a house, we felt like he really listened and asked questions to get at the heart of what we were looking for. He goes above and beyond in all aspects and is available at all times, even when on vacation! We felt like he really provided great insight and ideas for our negotiations and he works well with other agents and sellers. We truly felt like he was on our side and working to get the best house and offer for our family and it didnt stop at closing. It was a true pleasure working with him and we have already recommended him to friends thinking about moving.

ZillowVERIFIED When my wife and I were looking to sell our home we interviewed several agents. We werent interested in selecting a realtor who advertised the most and was only interested in their next transaction. For us the choice was clear, Brandon is a humble, experienced, and well networked real estate professional. Brandon listened to our needs and was very respectful. His communication throughout the process was prompt. And when we hit a snag during the final walk through on closing day, Brandon went above and beyond his duties to ensure our close did not get delayed. Because of these qualities we highly recommend Brandon.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I were getting very frustrated as the home search itself was an awful experience - homes would last about 1-3 days on the MLS before an offer was accepted (and most of the time way above asking price). We were on a tight budget and our Realtor Brandon, was willing to take us to see homes all over the twin cities area within hours of homes coming on the MLS. He would ask us questions about what we liked and didnt like. He was never pushy or made us feel like we were wasting his time. He was beyond knowledgeable and always professional. After searching for almost 6 months we are finally homeowners and we owe a HUGE thanks to Brandon for helping us stay positive and getting us through every step to where we are now!

ZillowVERIFIED I met Brandon at a property that my husband and I were interested in purchasing. We didnt have a realtor and Brandon didnt know that at the time but he was very open, genuine, knowledgeable and just provided a sense of comfort. After that meeting, we signed with him the next day and he was on top of everything along the way and went above and beyond the call of duty at many times. I would highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIED Great Realtor! As first time home buyers I wouldnt change one thing about our experience with Brandon. From day one, he was professional yet very easy to talk to about what we were looking for in a house. At the start of our search, being first home time buyers, we had tons of questions. Brandon was able to answer them, and help everything make sense. During the entire process of searching and buying, Brandon was very quick to respond and had excellent communication and advice. He always had our best interest in mind. He also gave great recommendations for lenders, inspectors, title companies, etc.., which helped us save money in the process! If and when we need to use a realtor, Brandon will be getting the call!

ZillowVERIFIED We first met Brandon at an open house. We found him knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and not pushy like some other agents. As first time home buyers, he sat down with us and guided us through all the steps. He was always easy to get a hold of when we wanted to have showings for new listings. He was on time, dressed professionally, and always in a good mood. Even our toddler likes Brandon and would mention his name. Also, he was very patient when working with us. We were picky about our home search and it took over 6 months to find the house we wanted. He never once questioned or showed dismay in how long we were taking to choose a home. Once we found a house he took the negotiating approach we felt would be the most effective for the house in this market. We ultimately got the house at the price we wanted. Brandon is fantastic to work with and we recommend him to anyone as your agent.

ZillowVERIFIED Brandon was a blessing sent from God! My wife and I have very busy schedules with work and Brandon was available at any time of day on any day for us with no hesitations. His timeliness with responses was incredible, he was constantly pushing for our wants during the negotiating process, and he was HONEST and open about everything! The house we decided on is my third house that I have purchased and without a doubt my best experience in purchasing a house. Brandon lets you know right away that he is there for you alone and to find you the best house that fits you. We are so greatful to have found him as a realtor and will always utilize his expertise when buying or selling any other properties.
