Helped me buy home • Saint Petersburg, FL • 2025

Working with Brad was like working with a family member. He was incredibly patient and insightful, and he never once made us feel pressured to do anything. When we were with him or communicating with him, Brad made my wife and I feel like we were the only people he was working with. He always made sure to give us his full attention through every step of the process and went well above and beyond the call to action. He was very upfront about the good, the bad, and the ugly and he seemed to know everything there was to know about every neighborhood and area we visited. His attention to detail and responsiveness in addition to his ability to pull a string through all the moving parts of the process, from mortgage to insurance to inspection, etc. was inspiring to say the least and left us feeling completely taken care of from start to finish. To top it all off, Brad continued past closing with providing us with trusted referrals for work needing to be done at our new home, and he continues to stay in touch since. I would refer Brad any day.

Brad does an amazing job marketing your house, sharing his knowledge of the area and being committed to completing transactions that make all parties involved feel heard. This is our second time selling a home through Brad and I will recommend him to others.

Brad was top notch from the start of the selling process through closing. He was patient with all questions and provided accurate and thorough responses at each stage. Brad was extremely supportive throughout the duration of the sale when things were running smoothly as well as if or when any challenges arose. Brads expert knowledge of the area and the intricate nuances of our particular neighborhood helped lay appropriate expectations. We sincerely appreciate Brad's professionalism and personal approach for our successful sale.

Listed and sold a home • 2020

Brad was excellent to work with. In a time of extreme market volatility and uncertainty, Brad made sure we received top price for our listed home. He negotiated the deal to ensure we had sufficient time to find a new home, and then stood by every step of the way until we closed during this wild, multi-offer market. Every hiccup we ran into through the selling and buying process, Brad was there willing to help with timely solutions to keep everything moving forward. We really appreciated his knowledge, integrity and patience through the entire process. Brad and his entire staff/team were top notch. Highly recommend and will use again!

If you are in the market to buy or sell a home Brad is your guy! We had nothing but great service from start to finish with selling our home. We lived in our home of 20 years so it was an emotional experience for us. Brad was upfront, honest, patient, very knowledgeable and understanding. We would highly recommend Brad to anyone who's looking for an awesome Real Estate Professional.

Helped me buy and sell homes • Saint Petersburg, FL • 2021

Brad is exceptional realtor. He helps us find a house, get through the wickets of getting the house (closing, moving, etc), then he helped us sell us our house. Throughout the process, he kept us informed and calm...since he knows the processes well so he was able to talk us through the things that were worth stressing over (a key few items) and which we just needed to patiently let run their course (many of the steps in the buy and sell process take time - especially in a hot market. Brad made a potentially very stressful process so much easier. He was a joy to work with.

Helped me buy home • Saint Petersburg, FL • 2019

We have been working with Brad exclusively in the St Petersburg area for six years. Not only did he find our dream lot, but we have worked with him on several homes (for family and to renovate for sale). He is amazing to work with on so many levels. Brad goes above and beyond in every way, is an excellent communicator, very timely and responsive, has a great network of contacts in the professional services often needed when purchasing a home. His calm demeanor makes it all the better to work with him. I honestly can not say enough about what a great professional and person Brad is.
