GET TO KNOW BRIAN
Why did you become a realtor?
I had personally bought and sold a number of houses in both Canada and the USA. When working with other realtors, I was able to identify opportunities for improvement. I decided to put my thoughts into action. I see myself more as a customer service representative than a salesman.
Where do you like to travel?
I love Florida – so much so that we purchased a home 10 minutes from Disney World. I lived in Europe as a child and my wife and I are planning a lengthy European vacation.
What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?
I was a competitive bodybuilder and competed in the 1993 Canadian Championships in Montreal.
What is your favourite part of selling real estate?
The jubilation expressed by my clients when they have either sold their property or found the home of their dreams. It is an extremely satisfying and fulfilling experience that not a lot of other professions provide.
What are your favourite books, movies, shows, bands?
My absolute favorite book is Hockey Goaltending because I co-authored it with Eli Wilson. I enjoy autobiographies and have read literally hundreds of them. Greatest Movies of all time are Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, Blow and Boyz in the Hood. Bruce Springsteen – had the opportunity to be in the front row at one of his NY concerts. Also love the Rolling Stones. Ed Sheeran, David Bowie and a lot of today’s popular music.
