Brian Eastman

I am a life-long resident of the Erie area. Born in the city, raised in Summit, graduated from Fort LeBoeuf High in Waterford and obtained a degree in Criminal Justice that has never really been put to its intended use from Edinboro University. Yes, it's true that I've never lived outside of the area. Why not? To be perfectly honest, I love Erie for several reasons. It's very affordable, there are plenty of things to do for adults as well as children, there are genuinely good people who love to help others, we're only a couple hours away from visiting larger cities, we experience all four seasons, and all my stuff is here and I really hate moving. I enjoy spending time with my wife, son, my Beagle, and two misbehaving cats. I'm a big baseball, football, and casual hockey fan. I stay active by going to the gym and forcing my 40 something year old back and knees onto softball fields for a few leagues every summer. I've also volunteered time to coach in local youth baseball and basketball leagues. Prior to becoming a Realtor, I spent several years working at a children's mental health treatment facility in direct residential care and then as a case manager in a school delinquency prevention program. I honed my salesperson skills convincing teenagers with behavioral and social issues to wake up early, eat properly, respect one another, go to school, and be in bed with lights out at 9pm. Not always successfully, but I did learn what works, what doesn't and that I must to be adaptable to each situation. I have been a full-time Realtor since 2005. I really enjoy being a Realtor and it shows in my work and how I approach it. No matter what I'm doing, I want to make it as fun and enjoyable as I can. It is possible to be a professional and have a good sense of humor at the same time! I will make jokes, tell good life and real estate stories, and hopefully leave you feeling a little more educated and feeling good about your experience working with me. I always consider the future when advising my clients and I want to help you make smart decisions so you'll think of me when the next move comes along or when family, a friend, or a co-worker are looking for someone to help them. I invite you to get in touch via phone, email, text, or social media any time to discuss how I can help you!
