Report
In contrast to some of the other reviews, my experience in working with this company was negative. I worked with a buyer's agent employed by Baniqued. During the house search process they seemed to provide information that upon further review and research with experts turned out to be frequently incorrect. Some of the advice provided at times put us in stressful situations, which I definitely would love to not be put in had I known better. I would definitely not state that they have 'your best interest at heart' and would advise to do your own research if working with them.

From the minute we met him, we were impressed with how personable and professional Brian Baniqued is. He worked tirelessly to help us find the right home for our family. He is knowledgable about the neighborhoods we were interested in and provided invaluable advice while we were house-hunting. When we found the home we wanted, Brian explained all the details of the offer process. Our offer was accepted quickly and Brian handled everything that needed to happen as we approached settlement. He had recommendations for home inspectors and other professionals we would need to help us protect our investment
