After earning a BA from The Rochester Institute of Technology, Brian spent over 7 valuable years as a Licensed Real Estate Broker in California specializing in commercial sales, syndication and property management. These experiences positioned him well to return to Upstate New York and become the owner-operator of the largest lakeside real estate firm in the Finger Lakes. Brian is certified by the National Association of Realtors as a Resort and Second Home Specialist and an active member of the Vacation Rental Managers Association (VRMA).

 Brian’s love for lakeside living started at the young age of 5 as he spent the summers on Keuka and Seneca Lakes. Boating the lakes continues to be a favorite activity for him and his family to enjoy together.

 As a lakeside property owner himself, Brian knows what a serious investment a lakeside home can be. He appreciates the cost of ownership, can locate the best investment properties on the market available and the benefits of a quick and profitable sale. He is extremely personal and professional, and will listen carefully to your real estate objectives to create a custom action plan just for you. Brian is a strong communicator and values his commitments to his clients, customers, and his team. His values of honesty and dedication are demonstrated through his strong work ethic and exemplified by his team.
