Initially starting out, he almost exclusively helped people with short sales when times were tough in the Great Recession. As the market shifted, Brian evolved, but never forgot the lessons he learned from an extremely downturned market. Listen in to hear some more lessons learned for the past decade and a half.

You can never be too prepared to get your home on the market. Brian runs through his booklet titled, "90 Things to Do to Sell Your Home for Top Dollar" and tells you some of his top recommendations his clients to do before they list to make their homes as appealing as possible to potential buyers.
