Brian displayed a rare combination of diligence, attention to detail, responsiveness and very helpful advice in representing us in the sale of our property. The transaction was a private sale and his diplomatic skills were key to a successful completion. I would highly recommend him to represent either a buyer or seller.

I cant emphasize this enoughaEUR"Brian Rochford is truly exceptional at his job. My fiancA(C) Danielle and I were first-time homebuyers, and we couldnt have asked for a better guide through the process. Brians deep relationships with local realtors gave us a distinct advantage, ensuring we always had access to the best opportunities in what wasaEUR"and continues to beaEUR"a tumultuous and difficult market. What set Brian apart was his ability to truly understand what we were looking foraEUR"a property that needed some work but had incredible potential. As first-time buyers who knew little to nothing about the housing market, we were lucky to have someone like Brian on our side. He was honest and transparent every step of the way, pointing out when a house didnt have the upside we were hoping for and steering us toward options that aligned with our goals. His insight and candor gave us confidence throughout the process. Thanks to Brians expertise and guidance, we ended up with a property and a house that I dont think either of us ever imagined would be possible for us.
