We can wholeheartedly recommend Brian as your next realtor. To summarize why he’s so great at what he does:
His keen attention to detail when viewing a home
He shares all the context you need to make informed decisions throughout the process
He works insanely fast and is incredibly communicative, so much so that you feel like his sole client at all times
He has tons of in-depth knowledge about the neighborhoods and houses in Sacramento that will help you navigate house buying/selling confidently
His rapport and connections with other agents, lenders, structural engineers, home inspectors, etc. will give you the competitive edge
He’s just a really nice guy that feels like a family friend now
We were referred to Brian by our Bay Area Compass realtor. We’re a family of four with two little ones that was looking to make the big move out of the Bay into a beautiful single family home in Sacramento on a tree-lined street. Right after our first call, Brian had us connected with a trusted loan officer that he’s worked with on many deals, and had set up a few homes to view that weekend.
During our home viewings, Brian gave our family the space to really get a great feel for the house while also staying close by to hear us externally processing what we do and do not like about the house. With a toddler and a newborn in tow, we were worried about feeling overwhelmed during all these viewings, but Brian did such a great job keeping our toddler entertained that it really allowed us to focus on the house. For instance, he brought crayons and a coloring book for our son so that he could stay safely entertained while we wandered around the house! Also, Brianhas a keen eye for detail that helped us navigate this entire process. He pointed out cracks in the walls, potential house settling issues, flags with the roof and foundation, and even neighborhood considerations that we’d want to know about before submitting an offer.
With our first offer, we ran into an easement issue during the inspection contingency. As we navigated a difficult back-and-forth with the seller, Brian always kept us informed on the process, provided us clear options, and kept our best interests on the forefront rather than the deal. His professionalism and rapport with the listing agent was also critical in keeping a difficult situation from being even more difficult for everyone involved. As we dealt with sadness of canceling our offer, he remained empathetic and supportive of us.
With our second offer, Brian went above and beyond to make sure that we would be set up for success. He coordinated with our loan officer to make sure that our offer was competitive and solid, while also keeping in close contact with the listing agent to keep the sellers up-to-date as well. When our house inspector couldn’t access the crawl space of our new home, Brian took it upon himself to crawl in there himself to snap photos for the inspector and a structural engineer!
We’re so grateful for Brian. We feel like we’ve made a new friend in him, and can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking to buy or sell in Sacramento.
