Common questions
I met Brian’s team at an open house. Does the team work with referrals only?
Not at all. “We’d love to serve you!” Brian is proud that so many past clients refer their friends, and new clients are always welcome into his real estate family. Get started here.
How do I refer Brian to friends, colleagues, or family?
“First, it’s an honor and privilege. Thank you!” Simply introduce them to Brian by email, and he will reply with a link to schedule a quick chat. “Easy peasy!”
I was referred to Brian. Where do I start?
Reach out here, and Brian will send you a link to schedule a chat so the two of you can get to know each other. “Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!”
What areas and neighborhoods does Brian serve?
Most of Brian’s sales are in Seattle and in King, Snohomish, and Pierce Counties. His clients most often buy and sell in Fremont, Ballard, Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, Laurelhurst, and West Seattle, and on the Eastside in Bellevue and Kirkland. Brian and his team live, work, and explore throughout Central and Western Washington and own primary, vacation, and investment homes there. As NWMLS and OLS members, they serve repeat clients across that entire region. Beyond it, Brian has realtor partners throughout Washington and Oregon and a network across North America. Share what you’re looking for, and he will connect you with the right person.
Can Brian help me buy and sell at the same time?
Yes. Buying and selling at once is one of Brian’s specialties. He coordinates back-to-back closings and can connect you with lenders who offer bridge loans, so you can buy before you sell.
Can Brian help me buy or sell off-market?
Absolutely. Brian regularly does both. Buyers get several ways to find homes off-market or before they reach the public market, including Compass and NWMLS “First Look” homes, which can be marketed for up to 21 days before they reach the wider market. Sellers get several ways to find a buyer without going on the market. Off-market has pros and cons, so Brian tailors each search or sale to your circumstances.
Does Brian work with high-profile clients?
Yes. Brian believes in privacy for every client and understands that some require complete anonymity. He and his team have protocols, resources, and specific advice for high-profile clients. Brian never uses client details for sales calls or automated email campaigns. He works by word of mouth only, so his time goes only to serving his clients.
Does Brian work with first-time home buyers?
Yes, and they are Brian’s favorite. “Though our egos love hearing how much better we serve our clients than their prior agents did, our practice works very, very well for first-time, up- and down-sizing, and relocation clients alike.” Brian’s process focuses on transparency, identifying every possible option, and guidance through each step, and clients at every stage have loved it.
Is my budget too low to work with Brian?
Not a chance. “In Seattle, every home is a luxury. Every client deserves to be treated that way.” Brian gives a first condo and a $3 million view home the same full attention, the same careful preparation for sellers, and direct answers whenever a client asks.
When should I reach out to Brian?
“Yesterday!” The earlier, the better. Brian has resources to help sellers prepare to sell and buyers prepare for a home search. Sellers often need more lead time than they expect: trees and shrubs take about a year to fill back in, and Seattle limits how much can be removed each year. Paint, floors, and inspection repairs fit into the final three months. Brian is paid the same whether he works with you for one day or one year, and the longer you work together, the better his advice and negotiation strategy can be.
