Brian Side has been an extremely great partner in selling our house. He has been the most responsive, knowledgeable, and reliable Realtor with whom we've ever worked. Brian's ability to get the job done while maintaining a relaxed and friendly demeanor is exceptional. I personally want to thank Brian for helping me find a rental while selling our house. He did not have to go this extra mile, but he did so with professionalism and understanding. I highly recommend Brian Side as your Realtor.
Highly Recommend!
We just finalized purchasing a property with Brian and I would highly recommend him for others looking to do the same. He is knowledgeable, skilled, and a great communicator… all traits that made the process of buying a home less stressful. We will certainly have Brian represent us again for any future real estate transactions!

Made the process as easy as possible....
Brian helped us handle negotiations with the builder, gave honest feedback about the home, made himself available for endless questions and inspections, and recommended other stellar people to help us with the rest of the process. Throughout escrow, Brian kept us in the loop making sure that we were informed and excited about this big step. There were so many moving pieces, but Brian made the process as easy as possible and we're so grateful. If you're looking for a home in the Seattle area, we highly recommend working with Brian Side!

Extremely Savvy
We would definitely refer anyone looking to buy a house in the Seattle area to Brian and his team. We had the pleasure of working with every member of his team during our process of purchasing a home, and every one of them was, professional, extremely savvy about the Seattle housing market, and friendly. They kept up with market trends and informed us with changes and shifts as they noticed them. They listened to our likes and dislikes, and were extremely understanding as we went through the process. We often felt like we were the pickiest clients they'd every had, but they were patient and understanding, and knew when to act in order to find the right place for us. They guided us efficiently through the closing process and kept us up to date as we finalized the purchase of our home. I would highly recommend going with Brian and his team--you will not regret it!

Brian, Gunnar, and their entire team were fabulous throughout the process of selling my home and buying a new one. They always provided great advise without being pushy, always went the extra mile to make sure all the little details were taken care of, and were incredibly responsive each and every time I needed something. Wow, this team is GREAT!!

At the top of their game
Brian and his team were at the top of their game throughout the entire process. No detail was spared. We experienced superior communication, organization and a calm and direct approach to the selling, and buying, process. Upside deserves ten stars! Thank you, Brian.

Brian is a superstar.
Brian is a superstar. He sold our home in less than a week at 17% over asking price. Then, a week later, he directed our bid to purchase our new home. Brian is more than a realtor, he’s a good friend.

Professionals and experts at their craft.
Brian and his team are professionals and experts at their craft. Brian came recommended to us by a close friend and from day one he stood out to us. Always on time, full of knowledge about homes, prices and the area. When he did not know an answer, he thoroughly researched it and gave us the information needed to make an informed decision. After looking at a few homes, Brian found us our dream home and immediately began using his expert negotiating skills. He got the house down a significant amount as well some extra stuff included into the contract as well. He walked us through every step of the way and we always felt very comfortable with where we were at and where we were going. After securing our dream home, Brian went to work selling our old home. His recommendations on what needed to be upgraded to get maximum value was spot on. His pricing strategy and marketing skills got us top dollar for our home. Again, Brain made this process extremely easy and I never had to worry about anything. Brian's attention to detail and work ethic made buying and selling our home extremely easy. It was an absolute pleasure working with him and I am recommending him to all my friends that are looking at buying or selling homes. He offers plenty of upside and you will not be disappointed by using the best realtor in Washington. He will be our realtor for life.

-Bought a home in Gig Harbor
There was never a concern
I bought my house with Brian and sold my house with Brian. If that was all you needed to know I would leave it at that...but I will elaborate. I was a first time home buyer when I first started working Brian and definitely needed an agent that could walk me through the whole process, manage my expectations and look out for my best interest. He was able to help me close on a house far below asking. Brian's expertise, knowledge and and thoroughness was so impactful on me there was no question on who would represent me when I sold my house. Brian and his team presented me with what they could offer when selling my house and coordinated everything. There was never a concern. I have met no one as competent and skilled at their craft the way Brian and his team is when it comes to real estate. Buying and selling your home is a 100% trust involved transaction. There is no one I would recommend more when it comes to your home than Brian and his team.

Anytime I needed them, they were there.
As a first time home buyer, I wasn't really sure what to expect but Brian and Gunnar walked me through each step of the way! They were extremely communicative and answered even my most random of questions. Their knowledge of the neighborhood and expertise created a smooth process and trusting relationship.
Dependable and reliable. They were that and more.
Brian and Gunner are the best! They made what is considered a stressful time seamless. I have a very time consuming job and needed to have realtors that were dependable and reliable. They were all that and more. The pictures, the videos and other marketing content was above and beyond anything I have ever seen. Anytime, I needed them, they were there. I will only be buying and selling through them going forward!
-Venecia G
Highly Recommend
Brian was very professional and knowledgeable yet made me feel at ease. Like I was his only client and the world revolved around just me. I was very happy on the sale of my home and would use Brian every time I may need an agent. Highly recommend.

Went above and beyond
I couldn't recommend Brian more highly. His professionalism, his knowledge and his demeanor. Brian was supportive through every step of the home buying process, and went above and beyond to make sure I was always aware of what was occurring in the process. I will definitely buy with Brian again
-Cameron S,
WE BOUGHT A RANCH!
WE BOUGHT A RANCH!!! After years of looking for property, we drove past a 58 acre piece of land near our house that had just gone up for sale. It had a sold sign on it right away, but we called Brian to look it up for us anyway. He told us the deal was falling apart and he would look into it for us. We live on Deer Lake in Stevens County and Brian is in Seattle. Brian had our offer in place, accepted and closed in less than 1 month. Through all the problems we had working with the Spokane & Stevens county businesses, Brian was on top of all of them, handling each issue professionally, personally and came over twice to meet face to face with the other realtor, owner, lender, title company, checked into the well and septic issues for us also. What a great person to have on your side! We could not be happier. Thank you Brian Side, you will always have our business and our referrals!
-Kevin C.
We loved working with Brian!
We loved working with Brian! He was an amazing buying agent for our first home. We had a very special loan type and Brain went out of his way to learn about working with the loan and making sure sellers understood the loan as well. With Seattle's housing market things move quickly and Brian was always on top of everything from contacting sellers to arrange viewings, creating offer documents, following up with the selling agent to keeping us in the loop at all times. The house we closed on was listed and 20 minutes later Brian was on a call to get us a scheduled viewing, 30 minutes after seeing the house Brain was already putting together an offer for us. He was respectful of our wishes and needs and always made sure we were well informed throughout the entire process.
-Anna E.
One of the best experiences
Superb service. One of the best experiences I've had with property purchases or sale. Brian's knowledge of the Seattle market in high rise condos, single family homes and commercial real estate was impeccable. His team was amazing with marketing, moving, showing, selling of furniture and everything in between. Entrusted my keys and personal belongings with him and never looked back. Highly recommended.

Made sure there were no surprises.
Brian and Gunnar were amazing, on top of the whole process and made sure it went quickly and smoothly for us. They're very professional, and friendly, and make sure that there are no surprises and that we understood everything.
An amazing group to work with.
A very knowledgeable professional with an amazing knowledge of the area of Seattle and the surrounding communities. Always quick with response times and very thorough with the information we were looking for in relation to our home search. His whole team was an amazing group to work with and they never disappointed in any aspect of our home purchasing process.

The best in the Business
Brian was excellent throughout the whole process! His clear communication and experience in the field makes him the best in the business. Brian gave us a detailed timeline for selling our home and with his guidance we had our house sold in days! Brian has my highest personal and professional recommendation as a talented realtor!
— Sold a Single Family home in Seattle, WA.
a huge reason our offer was chose was because of Brian and his team.
For our first home purchase, we wanted to make sure we went with a solid real estate agent. We couldn't be happier with our choice to work with Brian and his team! They were always available via text, call, or email and made us feel like a priority when we wanted to tour homes. We ended up finding the house that we purchased but I am confident that a huge reason our offer was chosen was because of Brian and the team. The previous homeowners even commented how great our agent was after the sale transaction was complete. They appreciated his communication as well as Melissa's (the mortgage banker Brian highly recommends). Brian definitely cares about his clients works hard for them!

Incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and responsive.
Brian was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. He helped us sell our home fast and for more than asking price. I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Going the extra mile may sound cliche, but that's simply part of Brian's process
Brian brings a high energy and positive outlook to the home buying process. He'll tell it like it is and truly makes you feel like he is representing YOU. Going the extra mile may sound cliche, but that's simply part of Brian's process and he incorporates it in everything he does, whether he is researching homes, showing a home, or trying to help you close. He represented my wife and I during our recent home purchase and we look forward to other real estate purchases through Brian in the future.
— Nick R.
Our experience with Brian was nothing short of marvelous
Our experience with Brian was nothing short of marvelous. Not only did Brian help us negotiate the purchase of a new home with additional add-ons that would have otherwise cost us a substantial amount of money, he was instrumental in solving a pretty significant issue that arose at the 11th hour (while on vacation in Europe) so that our transaction could close on time. We were nothing but thrilled with the excellent and professional service provided by Brian.

Brian is like having a cheat code.
Brian is like having a cheat code. We were first time home buyers. He is very knowledgeable about the Greater Seattle Area market. We gave him a few "must haves" and he found places that fit our criteria. He went out of his way and kept in touch with us the whole way. Would HIGHLY recommend for anyone buying or selling.
— Ron L.
I would recommend Brian Side to everyone needing to buy or sell their home!
Brian was great to work with. We were moving from out of state and a short time frame. He was great at staying in contact and knowing the area we were most interested in looking. We found our perfect home in one day and had a contract on it the next day! I would recommend Brian Side to everyone needing to buy or sell their home!

Highly recommend!
Cannot say enough great things about Brian! We were 100% satisfied with the service he provided us in our house search. He helped us find a great single-family in a very competitive area of Kirkland. Ended up winning out over another higher bid due to our clean offer. Super responsive throughout the whole process and we never had a doubt that he was working hard in our best interests. Highly recommend!

I wish I could give Brian a bonus star in negotiation.
I wish I could give Brian a bonus star in negotiation. He is an exceptional real estate agent. There are times when you can't believe how hard Brian is working on your behalf. He hustles, and not once did I ever feel like he wasn't doing everything he could to make the deal go through. His honesty and passion are unparalleled and will guide you with superb competence as he partners with you to buy/sell your property. You can't afford not to have Brian on your team.
— Chris G.
It was invaluable to have a master of negotiation on our side
Brian went above and beyond to help us in our home search! We had a couple specific requirements and when it wasn't obvious if a property would meet them, he didn't stop until he found the answer. We're so glad we met Brian and decided to work with him to find our new home. We were nervous about navigating in this wild Seattle market, but Brian was both realistic and encouraging and helped us find our new condo quickly! He worked with us to narrow down what we were looking for, was very knowledgeable about every property, and helped us see the pros and cons of different listings. When we made an offer on what is now our new home, it was invaluable to have a master of negotiation on our side. Thanks, Brian!

Brian is top-notch
Brian is top-notch. He comes prepared. He listens to your needs. He has your best-interest in mind. We had LOTS of experience with other agents in trying to buy here in the Seattle area. It's a tough market but Brian really helped us navigate and stay positive.
