“Before working with Brian, I had no idea what the difference between a good realtor and an extraordinary realtor was. We worked with Brian to both buy and sell our house in the East Bay - and the results for both transactions were phenomenal. We could not have asked for someone who was more responsive and dedicated to ensuring that our expectations were not only met, but exceeded. Brian attends to every detail of the buy/sell process and is clearly dedicated to his clients and their success. I highly recommend Brian as a realtor in the San Francisco East Bay.” - The Talbot Family
