Really fantastic agent

We can highly recommend Brian for your house buying and selling. He really went over and above the call of duty when selling our property. He was a pleasure to deal with and has a lovely non intrusive manner with potential buyers. He follows up with questions, does what he says he is going to do, is punctual and a great communicator. Can't recommend him enough!
