Brian's Background

Consistently regarded as one of NYC’s and America’s top ranked closers, Brian’s stand-out marketing is effective, creative, and elegant. An industry leader since 1999, Brian’s get-it-done-right approach brings lucrative, hassle-free results for his clients.

Known nationally and internationally for his impactful property movie tours, Brian’s multi-media and social approach regularly result in top-tier closings for his clients — from $42,000,000 to $750,000 — from Manhattan to Brooklyn — in condos and cooperatives — and in townhouses, lofts, and luxury apartments.

Skilled at stand-out negotiations and well-regarded for his industry and community leadership, Brian loyally and lovingly serves his buyers and sellers.

Sought out for his straight-forward, results-driven, fun approach, Brian is a frequent on-air expert for NBC, PBS, CBS, FOX, CNN, CNBC, and is regularly sourced for his market insights by the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, NY Magazine, Financial Times, & NY Post.

A native Virginian — raised in North Carolina and Georgia — Brian graduated with a BA from William & Mary (Government and Theatre), and then high-tailed it to NYC to train as an actor with Uta Hagen. While pursuing TV, theatre and film roles, Brian enjoyed the luxury service training he received from the Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton Hotels.

A proud married Dad of two wonderful daughters, Brian appreciates the life and adventures NYC has allowed him to create. A Manhattan home owner himself, Brian loves opening new worlds for his clients — helping everyone find the place where they can thrive.

Brian's Movie Tours

People Magazine says my movie tours are “the most inventive the real estate world has ever seen.” I love doing them — I have been doing movie tours for years — and they have consistently proven to attract the best buyers to my sellers.

"Brian - these are brilliant videos. Your talent is in combining the ability to make a business deal happen with cinematic artistic vision. The buyer can suspend disbelief, the basis of cinema, and project themselves into the future experience of ownership. This is the period piece set designer making the buyer the star of their own movie. Keep up the good work." - Paul F
