It’s my immense pleasure to recommend Brian Ivener as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home for their unique situation. I was fairly comfortable in my small two-bedroom rental condo, where I lived for 12+ years, always nervous to venture into the idea of buying something of my own. Thanks to His patience - advice and ability to encourage without pushing, I am now in a great place with my Daughter, we can call 'our own'. It's an amazing feeling I promise.
Brian had an initial meeting with me and took diligent notes regarding my specific needs as well as my financial budgetary limitations. Brian is highly talented technologically and made excellent use of the relevant search engines and real estate databases to quickly find me a variety of homes for sale in the best school districts. His constant flexibility to my changing thoughts, ideas and neighborhoods exceeded any expectations. Never once did I feel like I was a “$” or a commission amount, I felt regarded and respected. Brian never wasted my time with homes that were out of my price range or not in line with my needs, in fact He was a reminder of how to stay ‘well within’ my reality of affordability not look what is outside of my bubble.
A master with the contract negotiations, Brian came up with a deal that was excellent for me and I think made the seller happy as well. This was despite sometimes my rash urgency of requesting offers that were not in my best interest. Brian kept my thoughts on track and purposeful, all the while not making me feel naïve, even though I totally was. Brian is a humble expert about metropolitan Phoenix/Scottsdale housing market trends. There was nothing that escaped Brian’s attention when it came to property for sale in this area, and how I could get the most
Brian is a highly attentive/honest/prudent/ethical agent, almost as if I was his only customer, although I know that was not the case. He returned all phone calls and emails the same day. I never felt neglected or unimportant. He is also highly personable with an engaging personality. Brian was honest about changes that I may have not considered to enhance my home closing, all advice worked like a charm.
I would recommend Brian Ivener to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is hands down the best in the in the business in my opinion and if I ever need to move again He will be my first choice and only choice.
