"I inherited my childhood Parkrose home, returning to live in it again for 14 years. Bryan was very respectful of my sentiment to the house. The selling of my house was a big deal to my neighbors as well. Bryan made himself available to them. He was very friendly and outgoing to all. One of the biggest selling points was in fact the neighborhood and neighbors. Bryan's description of the house and neighborhood was very inviting. He was straight forward and positive during the selling process. He made sure the photos in the listing would catch a buyer's eye while shopping online. You can trust his staging advise. He treated my small cottage home like a mansion. The security of my home and even that of my cat was a priority. His communication about showings and follow up was great. Bryan is very detail oriented with the necessary legal paperwork and timelines. I highly recommend him and his ability to sell your home." – Brenda Kane
