""I began my 3rd home purchase adventure in real estate very leery of my past experiences. We were looking around on our own, still in the "just looking" stage, and after several inquiries to many different web sites we found Brian...Thank God!
Real estate agents I have previously used in Illinois and Colorado just did not compare to the service Brian provided.
Thanks to all of the useful home search tools Brian provided to us and his quick response to general inquiries, we were able to close on a brand new home in less than 75 days.
We were so impressed by Brian's impeccable knowledge of not only the Real Estate business, but also his uncanny and nearly unbelievable ability to get things done in and out of the real estate world. Brian is a walking encyclopedia and history book with a "Can do Attitude" who actually does get it done!
During our purchase all of the Federal Laws changed for the financing qualification process. Brian showed us the utmost patience and also found us a great finance agent to help get us in our brand new home. Thank you!
We are so glad we took the time to research and find Brian. He has earned our unquestioned trust and respect and we really appreciate his honesty. I cannot say that about my previous experiences with other real estate agents and will continue to refer all my friends and family to Brian in the future.""

""I would like to thank you for your assistance in finding me a home within my price range. I was in need of finding a reasonably priced home within a very short period of time. Once I contacted you, you were able to provide me with a list of homes that met my price range. Additionally, you were able to assist me with the loan process in order to close in a short period of time. (In LESS than 60 days from looking at my home to closing!!) I have worked with numerous agents, however none have ever been as proffessional and as speedy as you. I would like to again, thank you for everything!!""

""Thank you for your untiring work. You are the most dependable real estate person I have ever come across. You are a man of integrity and honesty and I would recommend you to anyone needing a Realtor, not that you would need it. Your work speaks for itself in Colorado Springs."

""After almost a year of trying to build a home, work with real estate agents, lenders, builders and contractors it was WONDERFUL finding you and utilizing all of your knowledge."
"I stopped stressing, crying and fighting with my husband...found a gorgeous house that my family fell in love with...and you did it all in one weekend."
"Thank you Brian for caring about me and my family in our home buying adventure. You made our life easier when you stepped in and knew everything before we asked, telling us things we wouldn't have even thought of, and making sure our daughter wasn't left out in the process."
"I wouldn't trust anyone else with my family and friends who will be buying or selling.""

""Being a 'Real Estate Investor', it has been very difficult finding a Realtor that dares to be "up front" when it comes to 'ethical behavior'. I've heard the buy/sell verbiage but have never felt that special personal connection. We always felt as though we were just another notch along the feeding frenzy on the highway towards their personal prosperity.
As you know, we have purchased 3 homes and are currently in the process of selling our 3rd home through you. Our experiences with other Realtors have always seemed to mirror each other. We have found that they were impatient and always seemed to quote for the "Quick Buck" - Exclusive Contracts and Commission driven! The disappointing thing is that the real market price eventually prevailed and we were on the market much longer than expected. They always seemed to be more interested in a quick purchase or sale than realistically keeping our needs in mind. You, on the other hand have always had our interests at heart - your quotes have always been market accurate.
In a day and age where the mighty dollar seems to rule, it is refreshing to find someone that looks out for others! I have learned to trust your advice. I have also come to highly value your opinion - you have never given me bad input. There were times when I wished you would have said what I wanted to hear (my impatience) but you have never led me astray - Thanks!
Also, thanks for always taking the time to encourage us and for your continued thoughtfulness. You can teach others what a consummate professional is really like!""

"We just moved back into the Colorado Springs area, from California, and wanted to purchase a home. We were tired of wasting money on renting, and wanted to make an investment into our future, and have a place of our own. Brian met with us, soon after we got here, and started us right away on looking for a home. He refferred us to many incredible people that helped us through our home buying expereince, and we were able to get through everything very quickly, which is what we needed. He met all our needs over and above what we expected. He understood after seeing only a few houses with us, exactly what we liked, disliked, and needed in a home. He was very helpful with putting houses on the custom home search website that he created just for us, which made everything so much easier. He was always willing to help us out and explain things when we had questions, he was very patient. He has become a family friend, because of the personal service he gives you, you can't help it! Thank you so much Brian!"

"Working with you helped erase all our previous bad experiences working with "Assist To" and "Help You" type real estate agents.
You were so honest and direct in advising us and working to find the best property to meet our family's current needs. You didn't always tell us what we wanted to hear, but instead told us what we NEEDED to hear.
The personal home search website you made for us and the time you took to help us understand what was going on in our transaction was so helpful. Your attention and care to every aspect of our home purchase all the way through and past the closing showed us that there is at least 1 truly professional Realtor still in real estate. Even more, we appreciate that you continued to keep in touch and visit even well after we closed on our new home...we consider you a friend."

"During a time when the real estate market in Colorado Springs began to take a turn and there were a record number of homes on the market, we feel fortunate to have met you. We had been driving around looking a properties and left messages with several Realtors inquiring about properties for sale. The (other) Realtors either called us days later or did not return our call at all! You not only returned our phone call immediately, you were able to show us the properties right away. Within just a short time of meeting with you, we knew there was something unique about you that we really liked.
When we decided to list our home through you, your confidence and extensive knowledge in real estate made us feel at ease. Selling a home can be stressful enough, but with your expertise and experience, you made this a wonderful experience for us. How exciting for us to have our home sell in just over 30 days, when at that time the average number of days homes were on the market was well over that.
We were grateful for the amount of time and attention you dedicated to our real estate transaction. We believe your attention to detail and again your extensive knowledge in the field allowed for our experience to be a wonderful one. And who knew we would have a new friend too!
Thank you for all of your hard work. We look forward to doing future business with you."
