ZillowVERIFIEDUsed Brian for both sides of a move aEUR" sold my place in Sammamish and bought the next one. He priced the Sammamish house right instead of just telling me a big number to win the listing, and it moved without us chasing it down with price cuts. On the buy side, he actually knew the neighborhoods and told me straight when a house wasn't worth what they were asking. Communication was consistent, not the usual disappear-for-four-days thing. Both closings went clean, no last-minute surprises. Would use him again.

ZillowVERIFIED As a first time home buyer, Brian was exactly what I hoped for in an agent. He is very experienced and patient, taking care to describe the home buying process to trepidatious clients like me. Likewise, Brian was always readily available and responsive to my questions, no matter the time of day. When I felt I had to change my house criteria, Brian quickly and adeptly pivoted, while never losing track of what I truly desired in a home. When I did find my property, Brian appropriately pushed me to place an offer and was able to negotiate a more favorable price. Brian is also very knowledgeable about the north Seattle area, which was incredibly helpful. He is an excellent agent and I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a house in the King County area.

ZillowVERIFIED Brian was more than a Realtor, he is more like a neighbor and a trusted friend. He was very knowledgeable and offered wise counsel as a Realtor. Brian has extensive experience and resources. His recommended professional resources (ie painters, handyman, cleaners, etc.) were great and fair with their prices. Finally, he was very available. Whenever I had a question or need help I could call or text and hed reply very quickly. Brian helped aEURoeprotectaEUR? me from the STRESS of selling my home of 44 years.

ZillowVERIFIED Brian did a fantastic job of not only getting us ready and pointed in the right direction, but he was a partner - helping us review numerous recent listings to generate a fair market price, guided us to key elements to sell (things to fix, things to replace, timeliness of activities, people to work with to make everything go smoothly: pre-inspection, appraisal, yard cleanup, house cleanup, etc.). Brian is well connected, easy to work with, and a true project manager end-to-end. We never felt out of the loop, and the schedule he articulated became THE roadmap to a successful sale.

ZillowVERIFIED Brian did an outstanding job with the sale of our house despite extraordinarily difficult circumstances he was thrown (both the market and parties involved) I would definitely recommend Brian and hope to use his services in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED Brian helped my parents navigate a tight market during a major out-of-state transition. Their parameters were very small and the desired neighborhood had limited options - Brian got them through these challenges with patience, understanding, and a solid knowledge of the market (and the complications of human nature!). Brian was always responsive and kind - and helped them get a good price in a very competitive market. I would recommend Brian to anyone!

Review for Member: Brian McRae
ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I were recommended Brian from a family member, and we could not have been more happy with him. We had the added complexity of moving from across the country, and Brian repeatedly went beyond what is expected from a real estate agent. Brian took the time to make sure we understood the Seattle area well (we had only been a couple of times!), worked around our chaotic travel schedule, and promptly and effectively helped us anytime we had an issue, even when those things were, frankly, not his job. I could not recommend Bryan enough. We would not consider using anyone else.

ZillowVERIFIED Brian has been our anchor while we move from The Southwest to the Pacific Northwest. Not only was he a knowledgeable and helpful realtor, he really took the time to get to know us and our needs. Brian was able to help us find and get our home and made us feel welcome in a new city. He really goes all out- he took us to see over 15 homes in two days because that was all the time we had. We will recommend Brian and will absolutely be calling him when we are ready to sell or buy a home again.

ZillowVERIFIED Brian was an outstanding professional. He took the time to help us find the house we love. Many times he went out of his area to help us view a house we found on zillow. He sent us boxes once we got our house, and even checked in on us a week after we got our home to ensure we were taken care of! I can't recommend Brian enough! 10 stars!!!

ZillowVERIFIED My wife looked online for someone and just seen Brian's picture on the site. She called and asked for an agent and just by accident it was Brian. He was very responsive, answered texts quickly. Called and made appointments around our schedule. Friendly and setup everything for us. The coordination of his staff was great also. He even met us at the condo we were selling prior to signing so we could met and talk with him. He let us know what needed to be done to get the best bang for the buck. Overall a great experience.

ZillowVERIFIED This is the second time I have used Brian and his team, the first when we sold our home and this last time when Brian helped us find a great home. Brian is knowledgeable, professional and honest. It was not an easy time to be looking for a house with multiple offers etc. Brian patiently guided us through the process and gave us realistic and accurate expectations of the market and home buying process. Brian made sure that we were looking at homes that fit our needs and pointed out problems and issues that were not immediate apparent to us. He clearly was on our side and found us a great home. I recommend him highly without reservation and would use him again.

ZillowVERIFIED Brian is an absolute delight to work with. He is thoughtful, attentive, knowledgeable, and always professional. Brian took the time to get to know us and worked closely with us to understand our goals. He was generous with his time and his professional contacts, always making us feel we were a priority. His experience and expertise helped us understand this very fast-paced market and guided us to price our home accurately. Throughout the process, Brian was always available and responsive to our questions and concerns. We accepted an early offer above asking price, and our home was pending within 24 hours on the market. The whole selling process went smoothly thanks to Brian and we wholeheartedly recommend him and his team!

Review for Member: Brian McRae
ZillowVERIFIED Brian was incredible to work with. He was very fast in responding to emails and texts, getting answers to our questions quickly. He was professional, honest, open, and wasn't just looking to get us into the first house we saw. To that point though, and this is INCREDIBLE, our first offer was accepted with the help of Brian, on the first house we made an offer on. We were expecting months of bidding wars and rejected offers in this market and Brian helped us get our first one, at a price that we still think is a steal. I cannot recommend Brian or his office enough, I'd give him 6 stars if I could.

ZillowVERIFIED Brian McRae is a pleasure to work with! His associates are equally kind, knowledgable and responsive. I highly recommend him if you are looking for YOUR new nest on the eastside. Brian understood clearly what we were looking for in terms of size and amenities and valued our time. In a tight, tough market, he was able to help us move quickly to secure the perfect place for our next chapter.

ZillowVERIFIED This was our first time buying a home in Washington State. Brian was super helpful in helping us navigate a crazy market, and explaining the differences and our choices. He was always willing to go (and drive) the extra mile showing us homes all over the area. When it came to making an offer, his advice and assistance allowed us to successfully complete the purchase. Highly recommended.

ZillowVERIFIED Brian was wonderful to work with. He was patient throughout the whole process to understand what kind of house we wanted. He was always approachable and responsive on all questions.

ZillowVERIFIED We have bought 6 homes now. Brian McRae was the best realtor we have ever had the pleasure of working with. From the start, Brian ensured we were a priority, he made sure to understand our personal situation, plus our needs and wants. Brian's analytics and past experience gave us the confidence to approach the Sammamish real estate from a position of knowledge and clarity. Without reservation, I would recommend Brian to any prospective buyers or sellers!

ZillowVERIFIED Brian was very kind right from the start of our home-hunt and educated us on the process in every step of our way as we were first-time home buyers. He's approachable, knowledgeable, and very professional. I'd definitely recommend Brian for anyone who has a smooth process as their priority.

ZillowVERIFIED Brian sold our home within 9 days of listing at the list price! He was instrumental in organizing staging, handyman work, landscaping and finally mixing cat litter with old paint cans so that they can be dumped into the garbage. He followed the process until the closing. He is a trustworthy agent. We highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIED This is the second home purchase we worked with Brian. Unlike the first home, we had a multiple offer situation for the this one and we were able to make the winning offer with Brian's guidance and expertise. Brian is very friendly, responds quickly, is sincere with his advice and makes sure every concern we have is resolved. He always finds time to accommodate any requests or clarifications we need and goes above and beyond to ensure the whole process from start to finish is smooth and fruitful.

ZillowVERIFIED Brian went above and beyond to ensure successful transactions for both the sale of our old home and purchase of our new home. Without Brian I am confident we would not be writing this review from the office of our dream home(!!!). His process expertise, market knowledge and clear communication skills guided us through a very rocky purchase process. In the midst of a pandemic, Brian's professionalism instilled the confidence and calm that we needed through the entire process.

ZillowVERIFIED By following Brians guidance, we had 3 offers on our home in 2 days and sold for above listing price. Brian knows what he is doing and was a steady and compassionate advisor for us during a challenging time and very rapid transition. I cant say enough good things about Brian!

Review for Member: Brian McRae
ZillowVERIFIED Brian was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire home buying process and I would highly recommend his services. As first-time home buyers, my wife and I initially had very little idea of what to expect. Our own research didn't come close to capturing the many subtleties and intricacies of home buying which Brian deftly explained to us. Brian helped us with how to think through the decision of home selection and kept us well apprised of market updates. I particularly appreciated the extent to which Brian took the initiative to make sure we were comfortable with how the process was moving and always took time to make sure he was on hand to answer questions at every step of the process from finding a home to mortgage approval to closing.

ZillowVERIFIED I am very grateful for the service and help by Brian. I am impressed with his professionalism and customer service. Since the time we expressed interest in the house, he gave us regular updates on competitive market, and formulated a strategy for winning offer. While the house was being constructed, he kept sending us weekly updates. We never had to worry about the progress of the house and contact the builder ourselves. Even after the handover of the house he has been contacting us to ensure everything is going smoothly. I highly recommend Brian.

He was helpful, responsive and always available on the phone or email during the process. He provided me with the necessary support on unclear steps, followed up and answered all my questions. I would work with Brian again and can recommend him as a knowledgeable and reliable person.

He is just a really nice person who cared about our feelings and concerns. He listened to our ideas and always tried to accommodate us. We totally trusted Brian to do the very best for us and our needs. We consider Brian a friend, and we would encourage anyone to use him as their realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED Brian is highly accessible, very professional while also relaxed and friendly, and he guided us through the many iterations of our plan. We thoroughly trusted his judgment as he priced our home perfectly and brought the sale to closing. Brian provided numerous excellent resources for landscaping, staging, and even for moving! We highly recommend Brian for buying or selling - we sold a home and gained a friend.

He is honest & ethical to the core, goes above and beyond to help his clients in every aspect of the process and is an absolute pleasure to work with. We will definitely ask for his help again and he will be my go-to referral for friends.

ZillowVERIFIED After my husband took a job in Bellevue, I had the daunting task of moving our family, including 2 young children 3,000 miles from New Jersey to Washington. I was overwhelmed, but Brian had an amazing wealth of knowledge and resources to make the entire process an easy and fun one. From the get go, Brian listened to my laundry list of neighborhood, housing and school requirements, he helped me explore many areas, would make suggestions based on my reactions, provided me with the facts and anecdotal information I needed to make decisions. His perspective of the Eastside was invaluable and in the end, he showed us a neighborhood and house that was exactly what we wanted in our new home. Brian was honest and put our interests first during the home buying process. He was a pleasure to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED We had a wonderful experience working with Brian to purchase our new home! Brian is friendly, honest, and responsive, and his help was invaluable as we navigated the Seattle real estate market. We moved to Seattle from Michigan. Brian helped familiarize us with all of Seattles neighborhoods and helped us to hone in on the one that best suited our needs, budget, and lifestyle. Brian has a deep understanding of the city and what the various neighborhoods have to offer and he had great intuition about what we were looking for (even when we were not clear ourselves!). Brians experience and expertise enabled us to feel completely comfortable and informed throughout the purchasing process. It was always clear that he had our best interests in mind. It is without hesitation that I would recommend Brian to anyone looking to buy or sell in the greater Seattle area.

The team that supports him is also responsive and available and can move quickly (important in this market). I think he puts a lot of effort into understanding the needs/wants of his clients.

ZillowVERIFIED Brian was great. I immediately felt like I could trust him. We relocated from east coast and he knew where we would find a home that we loved. Local knowledge was impressive....he even knew the street naming logic (although it didn't make sense to us 8)
Coeurhomme
Review for Member: Brian McRae
ZillowVERIFIED Brian is easily the best agent we have worked with in our lives (one of us is 53, the other almost 70). There isn't a single thing we would have asked him to change. He's not only easy to get along with (that's important when you spend a lot of time over several intensive weeks), he's extremely well informed, highly organized, quickly responsive, and *genuine*. He was most supportive, and on a couple of occasions when our ignorance resulted in missteps, Brian was diplomatic but also clear in in explaining the changes he recommended. This is a 5-star guy, clearly head and shoulders above others weve worked with over the years.

ZillowVERIFIED We are looking at downsizing and really wanted to know what our options would be if we stayed in our current area. Brian was very helpful, informative and thorough in researching our options. He set up a link to houses with all the parameters we were looking for so I could see what was available to buy. Brian is very friendly and positive. A joy to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED Brian was incredibly helpful in our home search last year. He is very friendly and personable as well as professional which made it very easy to work with him. What has impressed us the most is that even though we purchased our home just over a year ago, he still keeps in touch and when we have had questions about anything concerning the house, he has always happily researched things for us and helped us manage potential issues. We will definitely utilize his services in the future whenever we move again as well as recommend him to anyone we know who is searching for a home.

ZillowVERIFIED We loved working with Brian! He was always responsive and professional! He knows the area because he has kids in the school district and is very involved in the community-he even coaches the kids sports-my kids love him! He's upbeat, friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to get the job done! We would highly recommend Brian to anyone looking to sell their house and if we were ever to move to Washington again, we would definitely use Brian as our realtor. We feel like we made a friend with Brian as well.

ZillowVERIFIED Brian helped us try and find the perfect house to move up to from our existing home. He used his area expertise to find houses that met our criteria and was readily available to walk us through houses that we were interested in. When it came time to make an offer, Brian walked us through the closing process, including scheduling inspectors, addressing concerns raised and negotiating with the selling parties. Through the entire process, Brian listened, was responsive to our needs and a strong advocate for us.
