ā ā ā ā ā"Brandon was everything I expect from a realtor. He didn't try to sell me a house just to get a commission. He sold me a home and made sure it was the right one for me! He allowed me to view many different types of properties to help me narrow down what was best for my lifestyle. He was fantastic with market analysis and construction issues. He knows his stuff and I came to trust him implicitly! I highly HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in the home buying process!ā J W

"We worked with Brandon to purchase an investment property. The realtor we worked with when we bought our home, had retired. Buying a property and working with realtors can be daunting; thus having the right realtor is the key for success in this market. We looked for many months and made more than one offer. Brandon's advice and knowledge were invaluable in the process. He was never pushy; he always looked out for our interests. One deal fell through because of significant undisclosed defects of the property. While we felt bad that Brandon had invested so much time and work in helping us line up contractors to assess the situation, he encouraged us to do the right thing and get out while we could. Aside from being very professional, knowledgeable and detail oriented, Brandon is just a very nice and kind human being, and a true pleasure to work with. Ultimately, we found the right property and closed the deal. We could not have asked for a better realtor to work with and are very happy with the outcome. Thank you Brandon, you are amazing!ā Jacqueline Jugenheimer

"Brandon is AMAZING! He made our process of home buying such a fun, memorable and enjoyable experience. Brandon is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to buying homes. He walked us through every step (literally, as we are brand new home buyers with little knowledge of the whole process) he answered every question we had, he even taught us things we never even thought to question. As a buyer/seller you will have the absolute best experience hiring Brandon as your agent!ā Brett W

"Brandon is great to work with. He knows the type of property I am looking for, and has sent me many appropriate listings. He provides timely and professional communication. We viewed several homes in-person. Iāve never felt pressured by Brandon, though he correctly informed me of the need for urgency in such a sellerās market. I hope to work with Brandon again in the future.ā Andrew Russell

"Brandon was wonderful to work with. When we were in a rush to see a handful of homes right around the holidays he didnāt miss a beat and set up an itinerary for us to see the homes right away, and he was responsive and professional throughout the process. He listened to our needs and learned about us as people, not just customers, which made us feel at ease working with him.

"Brandon was great to work with. It was easy to get a showing on pretty short notice and he even got someone else to cover for him while he was out one day.

There were only two days that house was on the market, so it was exciting to get it in these competitive times.ā Nathan Anderson

"Brandon did an excellent job getting us into a property as soon as it was listed as well as accommodated a second showing on our tight timeline and narrow window for viewing the property. He then helped us negotiate an accepted offer in a competitive market. After that we had a very short time to close and he helped us navigate the process smoothly and without issue. We were very impressed with his knowledge of the market, flexibility, and assistance with getting some last minute things needed by the title company completed while we were out of town. Thanks Brandon, for the smoothest home buying experience weāve experienced to date!ā Lynn Vilker

"Brandon provided an excellent experience from day one. As a first time homebuyer he took the time to explain the process in detail and answer any and all of my questions. As we viewed houses, he asked meaningful questions and provided excellent insights while remaining impartial. When it came time to make an offer, he was masterful in setting up the details so that we had the strongest offer we could have while still getting us the best possible deal. He worked closely with our lender to ensure there would be no hitches in closing. And overall, he is just a kind, funny, respectful person who made the whole process a lot less stressful and a lot more fun. I am grateful to have worked with someone who is so passionate about what he does and the people he does it for.ā

I am a very indecisive person & to have someone who is incredibly knowledgeable and organized, I was able to feel confident in making the biggest decisions in my life thus far. Brandon is so wonderful to work with, he is so kind & seriously works hard to make sure you are finding what house you truly want to turn into a home.

This was a first time home buying situation and I had so many questions, he was able to really help me understand what was for what. I am so grateful for all the help he gave and how friendly and welcoming he was to me and my family. Sadly this wasn't the time for us to complete the process of purchasing a home and Brandon was right there with me. It was very emotional not to be able to complete this transaction, but not once did I feel alone. He was able to help with the process of withdrawing our offer smooth and comforting.ā

"Brandon did a wonderful job! He was thoughtful and responsive and helped us stay within our budget, not just what we were approved for. He gave thoughtful answers to questions which helped us process the different options. The only issue I had is that we discussed and assumed that the same hardwood oak flooring in the living room extended into the kitchen. It did not which I discovered upon removal. We should have asked and confirmed with the seller.ā
ā ā ā ā ā
"Brandon helped me and my roommates out using his prior knowledge as a property manager when we were renegotiating our lease here in New York.

Highly rec working with Brandon!ā

"Do you believe in serendipity? After working with Brandon I certainly do! Serendipity is the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way. It was a happy day that I met with Brandon and he showed me what would become my future home. From the very beginning, Brandon showed openness and willingness to work hard for me as my agent. His great organizational skills helped me get the information I needed quickly in order to make the best decisions for myself when buying my home. When I asked Brandon for something, within minutes I would have a response from him. He helped me negotiate through a complicated deal!
