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.

 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.
