ZillowVERIFIEDBrian helped us with multiple transactions. We were first-time home sellers and buyers, so Brian thoughtfully made the process clear and understandable. All communications were quickly answered, and he cheerfully followed up on all issues. Brian is super sharp, totally patient and reliable, completely chill, and looks out for the interests of his clients with integrity. Seriously, look no further.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian was extremely patient with us during the home buying process. We were first time home buyers during a competitive market, so we had a lot of questions and saw many homes. He made the process smooth and helped us every step of the way.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian is a professional and competent agent. I chose Brian even though I had bought a new house with a different agent. Brian's knowledge of the Chicago market, his experience and preparednesses far exceeded my prior real estate agent experience. From day 1, Brian prepared data and statistics about the area and communicated frequently about showings and competing properties. Brian was calm and reassuring throughout the process. During the close, whenever I needed clarification he guided me through my questions. I would highly recommend Brian if you are looking to sell a property

ZillowVERIFIEDIf you need to sell, buy or both, Brian is the professional, broker's broker to call. Brian sold my condo and was the perfect representative for me in getting the offer I wanted with the buyer I needed! He was calm, focused and brought in the right buyers. When it came to buying, we entered the most competitive market in US history. Having a broker that other brokers trust and want to work with is the difference between getting to closing - or not. He is the one others reach out too because they know he is a true professional. I absolutely know I got to closing because of all the brokers and deals on the table, Brian is the one they trusted.

ZillowVERIFIEDI used to work at a real estate company, with hundreds of realtors (including Brian), so I know A LOT of them...so when it came to selling my condo I definitely had choices. Since meeting Brian 17 years ago at his previous company, we've remained friends. I'm so glad that I got to hire my friend as my realtor. Getting to know Brian in a business sense has made me realize how hard of a worker he is. Brian communicates like no other; he's so on top of it. He is THE MOST PATIENT person ever. He calmed the worst anxiety I had as a seller (contract negotiations, price changes, closing dates, home inspections, how to show your home during a pandemic). Brian will price your home to sell. Brian will give you advice on how to show your home. Brian is super responsive and always available when you need him. He's happy to jump on the phone and talk to you about any worries that you're having. Just listen to him and trust the process and it'll be smooth sailing.

ZillowVERIFIEDFrom beginning to end, Brian was the best realtor my wife and me, as first-time home buyers, could have asked for. Brian was patient, knowledgable, transparent, exceedingly honest, and overall just a genuinely nice person.Brian helped demystify the process and was always available for a call, and for those reasons and so many more, I can't recommend his services enough; he's the BEST!

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian was knowledgeable, patient and helpful with the entire process. The flyers for the condo were excellent. Brian went above and beyond merely selling our unit. He is really the only realtor anyone in chicago should use

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian was responsive and transparent. We never felt pushed into a decision. He was patient and gave us the time and guidance to help us find the right house for our family. His assistance didnt end after closing aEUR" he has followed up with us after the transaction to make sure all follow up items were completed. I am a person who asks many questions and Brian always responded to my questions with thoughtful answers or referred me to a source that could.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe totally recommend working with Brian!We were first time buyers with pretty set parameters of what we were looking for (and not much knowledge of how to find it or what to do if we did find it).We met Brian at an open house that he was showing, and we decided to call him after meeting with other agents who were just not our speed. Brian was a great fit--I knew he was going to be great to work with when he offered to come to us for our first meeting so that we didn't have to find a babysitter or bring antsy kids to an office.Working with Brian was great because he is knowledgable, patient, and sincere. Our house hunt took a year, with multiple bidding wars, and an almost-purchase we ran from after inspection. I am so glad we didn't give up, though, and that Brian stuck with us, because in the end we were able to find and purchase *our* home. It feels great--exactly where we were meant to be--and we are so thankful that Brian helped to get us here!

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian helped us through what was an extensive search process. We were looking for something pretty specific with no real time frame, so we would check in every few months when something intriguing would pop up in the listings. He was exceedingly patient and a good resource as we had detailed questions about zoning and maintenance issues. Once we found the perfect place, he was great about negotiating a good price (we're terrible at stuff like this) and his network of associates made getting from offer to close go smoothly. He was excellent bridging all the relationships from seller, agent, lender and attorney and brought it home like a champ. Thanks again, Brian!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I met Brian at an open house and were impressed with his genuine interest in what we were looking for in a house. We soon contacted him to sell our condo and to assist in our home search. Throughout the buying and selling process Brian was incredibly responsive, proactive, and diligent in ensuring our questions were answered and our concerns were handled. Brian's firsthand knowledge of Chicago's North side and its neighborhoods really helped us narrow our search and find the perfect place. We'd highly recommend Brian to both experienced and first time buyers and sellers!

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian was a tremendous help in our move from Raleigh to Chicago! He gave us great insight on the neighborhoods and homes we were considering, and took the time to take us to many, many homes during a short house hunting trip. Not only were we able to find our new home, but he also gave us great insight on the neighborhood. He's very responsive and we highly recommend him!

ZillowVERIFIEDaEURoeWe had a great time with Brian - he was prompt and knowledgable about the Chicago market. I had selected several properties to see (buying a condo for my son), but the two Brian picked to show us were the two my son liked the best and, in fact, we ended up buying the last one we saw, which was a Brian selection He is still there, and very happy with it.aEUR?

ZillowVERIFIEDIt was a great pleasure to work with Brian. He sold my condo in record time! He handled everything professionally, promptly and with ease. His low-key but completely capable style really made me feel comfortable and confident in him. I will refer others to him when the situation arises. He's the best real estate agent I've had!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were very pleased with our experience with Brian. Work required a move across the country and he helped us sell our condo quickly. Additionally, we found him to be flexible, knowledgeable, and professional. He was committed to both selling our condo quickly and ensuring that we got the best deal possible. He provided honest feedback and recommendations throughout the process. Should we ever find ourselves back in Chicago we wouldn't hesitate to use his services again. I'm happy to recommend Brian to anyone looking for a great realtor in Chicago. Tabitha McKown

ZillowVERIFIEDAs a first time home buyer, the process seemed like it was going to be overwhelming, but Brian was very patient and was able to alleviate all my concerns. He helped me find a place that had all of the "must haves" I was looking for, in the neighborhood I wanted and was able to negotiate the price down to what I could afford. His years of experience really showed. I could not have been happier with the experience.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian was a fantastic realtor for my wife and me. He was patient with showing us a lot of places over a couple month period. We had a lot of questions and needed to be educated about what we were doing. Brian's professionalism and kind manner were appreciated throughout the process. As he got to know us better, he was better able to direct us to places he thought we'd like. In the end, we found a fantastic place for our needs. We have Brian to thank for that.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrian is amazing at what he does. I reviewed 3 realtors before choosing Brian. He suggested a price that was 70-110K over the others and had my house sold in 10 days. TEN DAYS at 98% of asking price !!!!!! This guy has the expertise and marketing tools to get the job done the RIGHT way. By the time i received some of his promotional materials (with in a week) I had accepted the buyers offer. I really can't say enough good things about his excellent service. I can pontificate about Brian but his track record and results speak loud and clearly for themselves. I would recommend Brain to any and everyone who demands polite , efficient, intelligent answers to their real estate needs. He made a difficult process effortless and painless. This guy simply KICKS ASS at what he does ! I really can't Thank him enough. Do yourself a favor and let him show you how its done ...I had no idea how easy selling a house (and getting the right price) could be.
