Make sure to interview your Realtor before choosing who to go with. Some are more focused on the transaction and what he makes out of the deal instead of what the client wants. If you treat everyone you deal with then right way then everything else will usually work out.

Brian is a great agent who definitely goes the extra mile to help his clients! Home buying/selling can be stressful, and Brian has a fantastic team of professionals to help you every step of the way. We definitely felt at ease knowing that our home was beautifully represented in photo/video for our listing - it got lots of showings and sold in less than two weeks. The purchase of our new home went very smoothly as well, and we are so glad to be settling in!

Brian Scates adds tremendous value to the real estate transactions he does. We needed to do a very large update to the home we wanted to sell. Brian lined up all the contractors we needed, got bids and scheduled the jobs. We had the home in perfect shape within two weeks. We had multiple list price offers in one day on the market. Ive never seen a more resourceful realtor.
