Brian helped me with my first condo purchase in Canada. As the first time buyer, I was not familiar with the rules and procedures. Brian helped me by explaining step by step. I am glad that I was able to work with Brian on this purchase, and hopefully, we can have other opportunities in the future.
Giang NguyenOur experience with Brian could not have been better!! We moved to Canada 3 years ago and decided it was time to search for a home where our family could grow. We knew absolutely nothing about the home-buying process, and we can say Brian held our hands and guided us through it all. He was always readily available to answer all our questions and doubts (literally, even with a new-born baby he was always there to help us!). We had plenty of requirements and a set of very specific things that we wanted our home to have, and he took on that challenge. He was there to advise and reassure us we were making the right choices, even when these meant the search would continue. We really felt he was in our corner! Once the offer was accepted and subjects were removed, he went the extra mile to ensure everything went smoothly. It’s thanks to Brian that today we have our dream home, and are now writing this from the comfort of our new living room!! We’ve already recommended him to our friends and family, and will do so again to those on the quest for their new home. He’s not only an excellent professional but a delightful person. Thank you Brian for getting us our dream home!!
Tom KellyNext time that we buy a place i will go with Brian and i will recommend him to my friends and family. We were buying a condo for the first time and his step by step approach in buying a place and looking for our best interest was really valuable.
sergio toroWe are first-time homebuyers and not only was Brian knowledgeable about the market and the home-buying process, he was also incredibly patient and supportive throughout the entire time. If he wasn't sure about something, he would take the initiative to research it. A year ago we spent some time on an assignment deal that ultimately fell through and we realized we were not ready to purchase a place yet. From that time on we never felt pressured or hassled by him to begin looking at places again. Instead, he would send us market information/stats every now and then, which we found helpful. Luckily this year we found a great place and, again, Brian was there to support us along the way and answered any questions we had. I could tell he had our best interests at heart because he always made sure we were making informed decisions. We are so thankful to have had Brian as our realtor, and would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!
angel liBrian is a great guy who delivers great results. He recently helped me buy a new home and was more than willing to put in the legwork viewing properties around the city. When it came to closing the deal, there were glitches on the seller's side that Brian quickly and professionally responded to. Highly recommend Brian... I've worked with other agents in the past but Brian is the best so far. Lots of hustle and undoubtedly one of the best agents in Vancouver.
Oliver LJust this past spring when the housing market was insane, Brian helped my retired parents sell their home of almost 30 yrs and buy a townhouse to relocate to. They were out of practice with selling and buying homes and Brian was so patient, understanding and informative througout the whole process. He was always looking out for their needs and best interests and made sure they were happy each step of the way. We had some road bumps with selling the house but Brian kept on top of everything, always found solutions and improved the strategy to sell. We also went on several open houses to find a new place, which was an ordeal in itself with so much competition. Brian's great relationship and negotiating skills helped my parents win the bid on a newer townhouse that had multiple offers. Selling and buying at the same time was so stressful but we were lucky to find an agent that we fully trusted and was so knowledgeable about the industry, it gave us peace of mind and we didn't have to worry if we made the right decisions.
Julia LeeIt was a pleasure working with Brian who is organized and professional. We wanted to sell our place immediately so he made sure a great marketing plan was in place well before the listing went live. He took care of all the details - big or small. It was absolutely stress-free working with Brian. He gives you his honest opinion and worked hard for us to get the right price. You will feel comfortable and confident working with Brian! Look no further for a realtor!
TWDLots of real estate agents in BC, but no one like this one! Don't look further, he is just amazing, great contacts, super accessible, hard working, 5 stars!

When I was a first time buyer, I was very confused with all the lingo and terms relating to real estate. The process was stressful, overwhelming and everything seemed very complex. I reached out to Brian for some clarity/advice and he was incredibly knowledgeable about the market. He took the time to answer all my questions and explained each step of the process that is involved in purchasing a new home. His support
was immensely helpful to me during a very tense time. Many thanks to Brian for helping me understand this process better and reassuring me that I was making the best possible decisions. Thank you so much, Brian!!
