An industry leader since 1999, Brian’s get-it-done-right approach brings lucrative, hassle-free results for his clients.Known nationally and internationally for his impactful property movie tours, Brian’s multi-media and social approach regularly result in top-tier closings for his clients — from $42,000,000 to $750,000 — from Manhattan to Brooklyn — in condos and cooperatives — and in townhouses, lofts, and luxury apartments.
