I met Brian professionally in 2009 as we each represented our respective clients in a real estate transaction in the Michigan area. Brian is very knowledgeable regarding his trade and industry trends, and works diligently to satisfy his client’s objectives at all times. He is efficient, thorough and professionally persistent…carefully communicating a sense of urgency and redirecting focus as needed to advance projects…all while striving to build and maintain critical relationships on both sides of the table.
