Brian Side has been an extremely great partner in selling our house. He has been the most responsive, knowledgeable, and reliable realtor with whom weve ever worked. Brians ability to get the job done while maintaining a relaxed and friendly demeanor is exceptional. I personally want to thank Brian for helping me find a rental all while doing the work with our house to sell. He did not have to go this extra mile, but he did so with professionalism and understanding. I highly recommend Brian Side as your realtor.

Gunnar has been a fantastic agent. He responds promptly to emails/texts/calls. He made selling my house so much easier. He was able to arrange for my furniture that I didnt sell to be donated to a good cause. Nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend him.

We are seasoned real estate investors that highly recommend Brians real estate services. Brian was instrumental in the recent successful sale of our duplex in West Seattle. From the onset he provided the very specific real estate market details which allowed us to make informed decisions on strategy, price, and timing of our sale. Ultimately, we were able to sell the property off market to a private investor introduced through Brian. The escrow was even easier as Brian had prequalified the buyer and streamlined the deal closing. Throughout the entire process we felt Brian had our best interest in mind, so because of that we plan to utilize Brians real estate services for ALL our future transactions.

I highly recommend Gunnar as a Realtor. This was our first time selling a home, and working with Gunnar was an amazing experience. He is professional, prompt, and responsive. He walked us through every step of the process. I had no doubt that he would represent my family well and get us the best price for our home.

I had the pleasure of working with Brian on the purchase of our new home and the sale of our old home. I must say that my experience was nothing short of exceptional. Throughout the process, his professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail were commendable. He guided us through every step of the buying/selling process, ensuring smooth and stress-free transactions. His negotiation skills were impressive, and we know confidently that he always had our best interests at heart. I couldnt have asked for a better real estate agent, and I highly recommend Brians services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and highly competent professional in the real estate industry.
