First, Brian is the best of the best. We can’t say enough great things about working with him. He helped my husband and I sell our first home, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. As first-time sellers, we had a lot of questions, and Brian was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and responsive. Especially being in a market that is not very seller friendly, this was so important.

He gave us honest advice, kept us informed, and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the entire process. We went under contract in less than 48 hours and got more than asking, in a neighborhood that had an average time on market of 60+ days. Now you can’t control the market, but he did his research on comps, priced perfectly, and made sure our house was show ready. We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.

Realtors are not created equal. There has been a night and day difference in his communication and guidance, compared to our first purchase experience with another agent. I can say that, because he is also helping us with our second home purchase. He is certified in new builds, and boy has that made a difference this time around. I can’t tell you how important it is to have a realtor on your team, with your best interest in mind, that you can TRUST.

If you’re looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond, we highly recommend Brian. He really does live up to his motto “Humans Over Houses”. He made it easy, and dare I say fun? We will continue to refer him to any family and friends looking to buy or sell a home.

Brian was amazing to work with on both the sale of our old home and now the purchase of our new one. He is super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and always quick to respond. He made the whole process way less stressful and really looked out for us. We felt totally taken care of, and still do. If you’re looking for a realtor, he’s your guy.

Brian went above and beyond in every way possible. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and deep understanding of the market made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What truly sets them apart is how comfortable and confident they make you feel—like you’re working with a trusted friend who always has your best interests at heart. Whether it was answering late-night questions, providing honest advice, or simply being there every step of the way, Brian was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping us find the perfect home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and wholeheartedly give them a 5-star recommendation!

Working with Brian Penland was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His extensive knowledge of the home-buying process was evident in every interaction we had. He guided me through each step, ensuring I understood all the details and helping to make the experience both smooth and transparent. Brian was always available to answer my questions, and his patience made a significant difference during what can often be a stressful time. I truly appreciated his honest advice and dedication to finding the right home for me. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough, he is a true professional in the real estate field!

Brian Penland isn’t just a realtor—he’s become a trusted friend and an incredible support through some of the most important moments in our lives. This isn’t the first time Brian has helped us, and every time he’s gone above and beyond with unmatched dedication, warmth, and professionalism. He knows how to navigate every twist and turn of the real estate process with ease, always putting our needs first and making us feel truly cared for. No matter the challenge, Brian shows up with a calm confidence and a heart of gold. We are endlessly grateful for everything he’s done for us. He’s truly amazing, and we wouldn’t dream of working with anyone else.

Absolutely fantastic. A real down to earth guy that takes you into consideration throughout the whole home buying process. As a first time home buyer, he educated us through the processes of home buying and was very helpful and honest throughout our time together. I would absolutely recommend Brian to anyone looking for a home. Such an amazing person to work with, truly a person who cares about his clients and thinks about you first.

Brian was honest with us from the beginning on what we needed to do for repairs or prep to sell our home for the most money possible. Throughout the process with any problems that arose (home repairs etc) he was quick to respond and answer questions/concerns. He was professional and honest and worked hard for us to ensure we got a good deal in selling our home. He also went above and beyond in interviewing agents to help us find a great agent to represent us in NC on the buying side. He did everything possible to help eliminate any stress, anxiety, or frustration we had in the selling process. He is a great agent and truly does the motto “humans over houses”. Never once made us feel like it was all about the $$! Will recommend to anyone buying or selling a home!

Our experience with Brian was TOP NOTCH! He initially helped us find a rental home over a year ago while we were saving up to buy. That process with him was so great, we went back to him when we were ready to purchase our own home! Little did we know that he'd help us find our home the first day of going to look at houses. From then until the day he handed us our keys, he was very hands on and supportive along the way, answering any questions, day or night, that would pop up. Not only does he know his stuff when it comes to real estate, but he was a wealth of knowledge when it came to inspections. We will definitely be going back to Brian for all of our real estate needs in the future, but more importantly we made a great friend along the way!

Brian was amazing from start to finish. Not only was he very knowledgeable but he also was on top of everything. He worked hard for us at every opportunity he found. He had advice for us but was never pushy! Overall he was the hardest working and friendliest person. Will definitely be using his services in the future.

Brian is the most amazing broker I have ever dealt with. He took care of us from day one and now that we are no longer his clients he still pops in to see how things are going and to make sure we are still happy.

We will use him for every single purchase we make in the future!

He is extremely knowledgeable and made sure that we were getting a good deal on our first home purchase.

We looked at some homes initially, and he was very honest and upfront with his advice. There was a particular home that we looked at, and he advised us not to purchase. He puts his clients above any profit he may make. This particular Home had an air conditioning problem as he could tell from the pipes outside. In addition, it had a scorpion infestation.

We ended up going with a new build and customized our dream home. He helped us with advice on the signing all the way to the mortgage and title papers. As a first time homebuyer, we knew nothing about the process and he looked over everything to make sure it was all in order.

Brian truly cares about every single one of his clients and would give them the shirt off his back if needed.

This is the man you want representing you, whether you are buying or selling or even renting.

In short, Brian is a kind, genuine human being and great at what he does. He made the home buying process seem possible, when my partner and I worried it might not be, and it turned out that he was correct. Every step of the way he was fast, communicative, and answered any questions we had. He was thorough, brought possibilities to our attention that we hadn't considered, and kept our best interests in mind. He set aside the time to be there for us at the notary signing when he didn't have to be, and was ready to show us houses on short notice. I am beyond thankful to have had his help, and I absolutely intend to work with Brian again in the future!

Brian could not have done a better job helping us purchase our new home. This was our first home purchase and he made sure to educate us and guide of throughout the whole process. He was very attentive and genuinely cared about us and our needs. He's truly works on people first and not home first, he got to know us and was so kind. Not to mention that he's also incredibly knowledgeable and taught us tons of stuff along the way. When it came time to put in our offer he secured us a fantastic deal. Seriously couldn't have asked for a better guy!

There are not enough good things to say about Brian. I am so fortunate to have crossed paths with him in life and wouldn't have trusted anyone else to sell my house for me. I have no knowledge of real estate or how it works and Brian patiently answered every question, every text no matter when I sent it, every phone call where he just had to explain things in simple terms. He even assisted me with finding a realtor outside of Arizona to buy my new house after he sold mine, hooked me up with a great home inspector to get me prepared to sell my home quickly and got me the asking price in 14 days on an 80-day market. I would recommend Brian to anyone and everyone wanting to buy or sell a house.

Brian exceeded all expectations. He took what we thought would be a stressful process and made the transition into our first home seamless. Great customer service and knowledgeable on the process. Would highly recommend Brian’s service.

Buyer or seller, Brian is your guy! He answered all my questions and concerns day and night. My husband offered him a bigger commission after having to deal with me, but he turned it down! In all seriousness, if you truly want someone in your corner, looking out for your best interests, I can’t recommend Brian enough. He is patient, detail oriented, and I look forward to working with him again!

I wanted to let everyone know about Brian, he stayed with me the whole time in this processing of buying a home. I can without a doubt say that Brian did an absolutely outstanding job. I could not have asked for a better realtor to work with. I will be using his services again. His advice and experience alone saved me a lot of grief and money upfront. If you are thinking of buying a home, give this guy a call. He will get the job done for you!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve referred several people to Brian over the last year. He worked with my out of state aunt who really needed someone with local expertise and that she could really trust. Brian was able to help guide her through the process and they were able to lock down the perfect home during a crazy busy time of the year. He also helped a really close friend of mine negotiate the best possible deal on a new build that they closed on just recently. Both people have circled back to me to let me know how grateful they are for getting to work with Brian. He the kind of realtor you’ll feel at ease working with. He has the network to support his clients with whatever they need. Whether that’s a lender or someone in a related industry… Brian will know exactly who can get the job done. When writing reviews like this I always use the test: would I feel comfortable sending naive grandma to work with this person alone? Brian is a confident yes. I look forward to buying my next home with Brian T Penland - Real Estate Agent!

I been working with Brian for a few months now. He is knowledgeable about the area I am looking to purchase a home and has great insight about the market. His experience combined with his work ethic to make this an effortless experience gives me peace of mind that I am working with the best agent in Arizona. He has the tools, lenders and know how to make sure that I am getting the best deal on my new home! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for their new or next purchase!

As somebody in the Industry watching Brian's passion for improving his clients lives through Realestate ownership is inspiring. I have the pleasure of discussing idea with him and a few other innovative agents on a weekly basis and the care and thought he puts into serving his clients is rare in this industry. If your looking to work with an agent in the East Valley who will truly listen and look out for your best intrest give Brian a call.

First off, I am a very impatient person. Tons of e-mails, text messages, and phone calls. With that being said Brian was amazing from start to finish. I feel he went way above what I expected from a realtor. He was more than happy to meet wherever we found a home to look at. While touring homes Brian was a wealth of knowledge with homes and how they are built. What to look for and just so much more. Add that knowledge with his professionalism, great personality, and eager willingness to help and put his clients before anything and you have a winning agent. If looking for the best realtor agent, look no further, Brian is your guy.

First time home buyer Mar 31, 2023
As first time home buyers we had no idea where to start. We moved to Arizona last May with a goal to start looking at homes around year two of living here. Suddenly that changed when we met Brian. Brian was willing to answer questions quickly and I even told him our time frame of two years. Many real estate agents wouldn't give you the time of day if you started asking so many questions and let them know that you would probably wouldn't need them for another two years. Over the next few months Brian would give us updates on the market and kept us well informed. When February came around it was already time to sign our lease renewal at our apartment. I started venting to Brian how I was tired of throwing away money monthly by paying rent instead of pytting it towards my mortgage. He encouraged us to contact one of his lenders and see for ourselves how we can qualify for a home. We decided to give it a shot and Brian was right by our side the whole time. Once we got pre-qualified Brian set up a meeting and laid out the next steps for us. We only had until April 3rd to find a home before our lease was up. I was already stressed out because I didn't think it was possible to find a home/close within 60 days. Brian said "I'm not worried and that means you don't have to be worried." He had to tell me this a few times over the process until I fully believed it but you could hear it in his voice that he meant it everytime. Within a week we were looking at homes with Brian and during that process he asked us what we thought truly of every house after we walked it. Half way through looking at the homes he got more information from us about what we were looking for in our dream home. He said he was changing the plan and taking us to a different location. That's when Brian took us to tour a new build home and we fell in love. It was literally our dream house and we both looked at each other with that face that we could never afford it. Brian told us after to grab some lunch(which he ended up getting us a gift card to a great place) and talk about everything we saw today. Brian encouraged us to take as much time as we needed and let us know we can look at as many other places as we needed until we found the right place. After discussing it we decided to call Brain to see if he could help us get our dream home. Brian was so excited and said to let him handle it. Immediately things started moving and Brian started fighting for us. Long story short Brian worked magic after magic to help us purchase a home that we never thought was possible. He ended up saving us tons of money and got them to throw money towards our closing cost. Once you get to know Brian you will truly understand what he means when he says "HUMANS OVER HOUSES". We never thought we would buy a home 11 months after moving to Arizona but Brian showed us the way. As a first time home buyer the best advice we can give to another home buyer is you're making a big mistake if you don't use Brian Penland for your home purchase.

Brian and the experience that he provided was absolutely exceptional. Brian constantly impressed me with the amount of knowledge he had on the market and the current conditions we were dealing with. Using him to buy our new home was a no brainer!

Brian always made himself available, no matter when or what time it was. If for some reason he didn't answer, he always called me back SAME DAY. We bought a new build home and what should have been straightforward, was a mess because of the builder. Brian was always on top of things and seemed to be a step ahead at all times. Best of all, Brian actually cares about his clients. At the time we were living in Gilbert and the new home was in San Tan Valley, it was a far drive for us to always go see the progress. Brian would go out to our home to take pictures and send them to us, often! Brian works hard to bring your dreams to reality.

During the construction of our home the market started to take a dive and we watched a lot of bad things happen to others in the market. During the down times Pulte listed a nearly identical home for a lot less money than we were paying for ours. Brian was able to take that info to the builder and negotiate a KILLER deal. After the credits to closing costs and even more of a rate discount, we saved about $60k - I will never forget that.

This was not my first home purchase and the comparison between my experiences is astounding. I will never use another realtor ever again and neither should you.

I can't say enough about how well I was treated by Brian. He went above and beyond to make sure I was informed about my selling options, never tired od explaining all the processes involved and personally helped me with getting the house ready to sell and getting stuff to storage. He is truly lovely to work with and gets my highest recommendation.
