"Brian helped us buy and sell two homes in the Ithaca area over the past 15 years. Most recently he helped us prepare to sell our home in Lansing which he had helped us purchase 10 years earlier. Brian is exceptionally knowledgeable about the market, the process, and has excellent negotiating skills. His background in the local market and home construction was very helpful as we considered buying homes that might need significant updating, and also what we might need to do as we prepared to sell our home. Brian knows houses and he is terrific to work with."

"It's hard to encapsulate just how masterful, responsive, friendly, and overall bang-for-your buck you get with Brian in just a few short sentences. Having both bought and sold with him, I can say that as a first-time buyer and seller, Brian was not only able to help me find a house that met all of my criteria (and negotiate for an excellent pric..."

"It's hard to encapsulate just how masterful, responsive, friendly, and overall bang-for-your buck you get with Brian in just a few short sentences. Having both bought and sold with him, I can say that as a first-time buyer and seller, Brian was not only able to help me find a house that met all of my criteria (and negotiate for an excellent price), but also helped me navigate the complex process of buying and selling. Honestly, I'm not sure we would've bought (and sold) a home if it weren't for him. He knows the area, is a master at the processes, and honestly becomes a good friend through the the maze that is buying/selling. I can't say enough good things about Brian and how much happiness he has brought our family."

"Brian saved our lives! He not only knew everything about the area and the market, pricing and negotiating, he also anticipated problems before they happened; knew how to handle issues as they arose, and prevented many possible/potential disasters. He went above and beyond for us—finding us the repair, cleaning, septic, repair, radon, and cleanin..."

"Brian saved our lives! He not only knew everything about the area and the market, pricing and negotiating, he also anticipated problems before they happened; knew how to handle issues as they arose, and prevented many possible/potential disasters. He went above and beyond for us—finding us the repair, cleaning, septic, repair, radon, and cleaning people that we needed when we needed them, and at reasonable prices! He was pretty much always available to answer questions and help during the critical times that you needed to reach him. I can say this with confidence because we sold another house in a different far away city with a different agent who was always "out of range" when we desperately needed to talk to him. So we know how lucky we were to have Brian! None of that with Brian! He is a treasure! He was invaluable and we are grateful every day that we happened to meet someone who recommended him to us. Probably after I enter this I will remember more things he did that were amazing that I should have included!"

"I’m so glad we crossed paths, and our chat led to me learning you’re a realtor, and we started looking! It didn’t take long to identify what I could afford with the connections you put me in touch with.

"I’m so glad we crossed paths, and our chat led to me learning you’re a realtor, and we started looking! It didn’t take long to identify what I could afford with the connections you put me in touch with. Your vibe is so supportive, and your willingness to explain the process as it unfolds was greatly appreciated. From offer to close, you helped me get out of renting and into home ownership in 84 days, with final details finishing on Christmas Day! It wasn’t always smooth. I expect there are always bumps with these deals, but the silent warrior in you helped me to be open-minded and pursue a home I didn’t know would be a great fit for me initially. Once we saw the property, the buildings where I can do projects, the gardens and flowerbeds that are started, and the potential the home has to be a place I can easily maintain, I was hooked. I locked in on doing the work to get the place, and make it the paradise I didn’t know I needed. The place I bought got me out of renting, will be a huge savings, and an improved lifestyle for the years ahead for me and my family. You have a quiet steadfastness with a determination to help people that any home seeker should latch onto, and enjoy the journey."
