Brian manages it all with grace under pressure. I would recommend him with the greatest enthusiasm to other executives — and I have! —Vivian S. Lee, M.D., Ph.D., M.B. A. , President, Google Life Sciences

His service during our search process, negotiation, closing and post closing was superb. He was a pleasure to work with throughout the process.” — Gregg S. Meyer, MD, MSc, Chief Clinical Officer of Partners Healthcare
“Brian was exceptional from start to finish. The amount of time and personalized attention he invested in me over the course of several months was more than I ever would have expected. During that time, he leveraged his network extensively to identify numerous listed and off-market properties that fit my criteria, and went out of his way to arrange personal showings whenever possible to accommodate my schedule. He was patient, supportive and genuinely fun to work with throughout the entire process.” — Brian Gaffey, Bain & Co.

It is just a commitment to service that is underscored by an astounding appreciation for architecture, homes and people, and a very sophisticated understanding of luxury real estate marketing at home and abroad. When I am speaking to buyers looking to purchase in the Greater Boston region — who rightly demand and expect the best advice — who do I want them to speak to first? The answer is Brian.” — Nick Churton, Managing Director, Mayfair International Realty, London
