Brian began his real estate career in 2001. Brian’s business is referral based, building relationships is most important. Keeping in touch with and being a resource to his clients is essential and has earned him referrals of family and friends of past clients, which Brian is very proud of.
For many, real estate transactions are often their largest, most consequential financial dealings of a lifetime. As your real estate professional, Brian will guide and advise you to reduce risks and maximize your returns. Just as you wouldn’t navigate a $250,000 income tax problem without a trusted, certified, and professional accountant, it would be unwise and risky to engage in real estate transactions without protective guidance from a licensed, professional real estate agent.
As your listing agent, Brian will put your house in alignment to sell in the current market. He uses every tool at his disposal including First Team’s patented pricing software to take the guessing out of pricing your home and to get the maximum price for your home. Brian uses professional photography partners that take professional day and night photos and videos but also Brian invests in MATTERPORT technology for your home to be viewed online in 3D — tailoring to out-of-area buyers. He is available to sit with you to show you how to put your house into alignment to get you the highest and best price.
One of Brian’s biggest strengths when working with a buyer is his ability to listen to what his clients want and need. He then searches for what you want, and if what you want isn’t on the market, Brian and his team will do their best to locate it. Brian will mail to targeted homes and knock on doors in the area you want to live to find you the house you want. His knowledge of the purchase contract, and associated forms, and his negotiation skills will get you the house that you want against all competition.
As you can see it matters who you work with, and that is true with real estate agents too. Brian has developed many real estate agent connections locally, throughout California, and in other states. He works hard to build and keep good business-related relationships. He has also made many good contacts for the different trades related to owning a home, so if you need a referral out of state or for a good painter or handyman, just ask.
Brian strives to continue learning his craft, he regularly attends training to improve his skillset and is a current member of real estate associations that regulate real estate agents' behavior and ethics. These are the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), California Association of REALTORS® (CAR), and Orange County Association of REALTORS® (OCAR). Brian also has earned certificates as an Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR), Pricing Strategies (PSA), and the Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource (SFR).
Each buyer and seller is different, Brian finds great pleasure in all the sales and purchase aspects and considers many moments in each situation special. The first-time buyer, the veteran buyer was able to use the VA loan. The relocation client from out of state. The sellers that received multiple offers, were sellers who were able to get the larger home. The challenges of a difficult escrow for whatever reason and still being able to close on time.
Brian’s passion is to help others reach their goal of home ownership. He is honored to be of service to his clients and their family and friends. The true reward/award for Brian is assisting buyers move into their new home to begin the next chapter in their lives or to assist a seller reach some other life goal, relocate for a new position, dor ownsize their home.
