REALTOR® and certified Transaction Coordinator at 4 Rivers Realty, Inc., with over 30 years of specialty customer service, business development, and leadership experience.
Apart from nine months in Vancouver, WA, and seven months in Southern California, Brian has spent his entire life in the San Francisco Bay Area, and there is nowhere else he’d rather live. “I absolutely love the Bay Area. I love that most things you’d want to do are just a short drive away. I love the beauty, and I love the diverse culture,” says Brian.
Brian feels that everything in life revolves around relationships. He said, “If you do not care and do not listen, you cannot form a meaningful relationship or meet or exceed anyone’s expectations.” Being honest, trustworthy, respectful, and empathetic are part of his values and are at the very core of everything he does. These ideals allow Brian to naturally build bonds with people far beyond business transactions or other professional services, as many clients and professional connections have become friends.
Most of Brian’s career was spent in consumer electronics and custom installation. Although his knowledge and experience are expansive, he primarily focused on home theater, audio distribution, and whole home control. Over the years, he learned much about preconstruction, construction, renovation, and design. When asked what he loved best about those experiences, he stated, “There is nothing quite like the look on a client’s face once the project is complete... Sometimes, there are tears and happy embraces. It is MAGIC! All it takes for those special moments to happen is caring enough to listen and execute, making the dream a reality.” Always wanting to take care of his clients led Brian to real estate, as he figured helping someone find their forever home could be even more rewarding, and he was right!
Brian feels very fortunate to work with his lifelong friend, River Collins. With over 23 years of real estate experience, she is the Broker and Owner of 4 Rivers Realty, Inc.
They have known each other since they were 7 and 8 years old. Brian says, “River and I are so like-minded; we truly care about people. River is willing to go that extra mile necessary to make the process easy for her clients and produce the absolute best possible result. This allows her to help people realize their real estate dreams and do her part to help the environment along the way. There isn’t a better soul for me to do this with.”
