Brian studied Psychology and Behavior Economics while learning about building sciences as a firefighter. He began investing in real estate at this time but expanded it while serving in the US Air Force. Through these life experiences, he developed attention to the details of a home’s presentation, which would increase profit for his sellers while being able to identify a home’s risks or competitiveness for his buyers. He is now a principal broker with Compass Real Estate ranking in the country's top 1.5% of all Realtors. Brian loves working with all buyers and sellers, especially those needing to buy while selling, relocating to/from Seattle, and first-time home buyers.

In his free time, he grows his portfolio of rental properties, owns and operates a conservation company, explores PNW’s beauty, and experiences Seattle’s culture and tastes with his spouse and senior puppy.

Buy Before Selling + $75,000 in Listing Preparation

Programs to help a home seller purchase a home before listing to maximize profits on the listing as a vacant and staged home. This also allows some sellers to avoid the discomfort of vacating their home with only minutes’ notice or needing to move into a temporary home before finding a home to purchase and move into. We also have in-house 0% interest lines of credit to finance any part of the listing process (e.g. moving, vacation rental, storage, cleaning, staging, repairs, deferred maintenance, or even updates for a “return of investment”) and pay back at closing through Escrow. We also offer an in-house contractor and designer at no charge for any work before or during our marketing.

"Brian made the process as simple as process for a first-time seller. He walked me through all the steps, gave me a clear sense of timing, provided great tips and recommendations, and made the work as simple as possible for me all while having a great, positive attitude. My unit went well over listing price and I'm confident that Brian had much to do with it. I plan to use Brian for the purchase of my new place." -Natalie, Past Client
