Real Estate Scams You WANT to Avoid

Tiffany Staples November 18, 2014Homeowner and Homebuyer Tips

Real estate scams are real. They happen every day. What happens when you come across a real estate scam that is definitely too good to be true? Hopefully you have read this article and don’t fall victim to the scam, but these simple descriptions will help you determine what’s really kosher and what’s not!

Real Estate Scam #1 – Renting Unoccupied Homes without Consent

This one seems easy to spot, but it’s a common scheme that claims thousands of victims. In fact, it’s been a recent hot topic in the Atlanta Real Estate Market over the last few months. Phony Real Estate “Agents” are changing locks to houses and moving families into homes they have not been allowed to legally rent and most don’t even represent the owners of the unoccupied space.
What should you look for?
– Use a reputable real estate agent to help you find properties to rent.
– Is the rental property in question listed on popular rental listing websites?
– Does the owner listed on the county’s property taxes match the owner’s name on the agreements for the rental property you are considering?

Real Estate Scam #2 – Rerouting Earnest Money

This is another hot topic in the Atlanta Real Estate Market today – sending fictitious emails to soon-to-be home buyers by hacking into agents’ email servers is vicious and sending fake routing information happens more than you think! Don’t fall victim to this scam. Verify with your real estate agent and closing attorney prior to routing any earnest money or down payments for property.

Real Estate Scam #3 – Phony, Get-Rich-Quick, Real Estate Seminars

This real estate scam is more for the investor rather than the typical home buyer looking to score a deal on real estate, but it’s definitely worth mentioning. Get rich quick schemes in real estate are everywhere – promising you a 6-figure income for the work output of 4 to 10 hours a week. Bottom line, if it seems to good to be true, it’s probably a scam! If you are looking to start investing in properties, find a real estate agent you trust, start small and build your portfolio over time.

My husband and I were enormously impressed with our experience with Compass and our agent, David Pruitt. This is our fourth house sale, and our fourth agent. David’s enthusiasm and energy was miles above the others we’ve worked with. He and his colleagues overcame obstacles, not the least being the pandemic. The closing was effortless and on time. If there is a fifth need in Atlanta, we wouldn’t consider calling anyone else.

Bobby Lammert was our agent and did an incredible job helping us through the process of selling our first home. He took care of eveything for us, anytime we had questions he was quick to answer. Any time we wanted advice he laid out the options in a clear and concise way that made it easy for us to move forward. Whether we were uncertain of holding firm when we received a counter or what was the best way to counter, he provided sound advice that was a benefit to us. We are grateful for his time and efforts that made it possible to sell our home and buy our new home.

Sharon H.

I have bought and sold several homes with Nicholas over the years. Some are easier than others. Just know Nicholas will stick with the project to the end and guide you along the way. His professionalism and patience is something we all need when making a big selling or purchase decision. Nicholas has your back and will help you with it all.

I met Addie when she was on the Commercial Real Estate side. She was actually a client of mine once upon a time! When we caught up over lunch one day I knew she was the right fit for me and what I needed in an agent. Addie helped me navigate the waters of Oakhurst/Decatur and together we were able to get me into my dream cottage. She was excellent to work with and I’m so glad I had her represent me.

Wendy C.

So impressed!! David Pruett helped us sell our townhome AND buy our new house. We couldn’t be happier.David is the consummate professional and incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the real estate business. He knows what to look for in a home from a value as well as a construction perspective. He knows the pitfalls and educated us along the way. He’s honest and takes a lot of pride in his work. We quickly learned we could trust him completely. David had our best interests at heart from start to finish. He made sure he knew what we wanted, and refused to allow us to settle for anything less.After our experience, David feels like a new member of the family. We can’t thank him enough for helping us navigate this insane real estate market. It was not easy!! In the end, we found the home of our dreams and wound up with a great deal. We can’t recommend him highly enough!!!Will and Wendy Cassidy

Rachel B.

Nicholas is simply the best! He listened to us, looked out for us, worked with our schedules, and managed every detail from search to signing. We never had to worry, about anything. It is impossible to adequately express our gratitude for this experience. Our family felt safe throughout the entire home buying process. Brown Daniel's name, Compass, is apropos. They will lead you in the best and right direction. Many thanks, and our highest recommendations!

David Pruett of Brown Daniel Realtors worked with me earlier this year assisting with the preparation for sale of my 1913 Craftsman bungalow in Decatur, GA. My wife and I, both in our mid 60's and dealing with health issues, could not have coordinated nor completed the needed work on our house in a timely fashion without David's guidance and resources. He helped us with determining what repairs the house needed, contacted contractors for us, personally pitched in many times when we needed assistance, and was indispensable in helping to keep us on track to hit the market at the best possible time. From beginning to end, he clearly articulated the process of marketing and selling our house and he always did his best to make it go as smoothly as possible. In fact, David was so successful in marketing the house and finding highly motivated buyers that we accepted an offer before it formally listed for tens of thousands of dollars over our projected asking price. At all times, Mr. Pruett conducted himself with the utmost professionalism. I would highly recommend his services without reservation. Thank you, David, and thank you Brown Daniels. You exceeded my expectations in every respect.

Nicholas was introduced to me by my builder as someone who could help me find a lot for a new construction home.Nicholas did a fantastic job and helped us secure an awesome lot for our build.There are a few things that really set Nicholas apart:1) He really knows the geography and the technical aspects of lot selection. We were looking around Chastain and he could tell me which lots have issues with drainage because of the water flow around the hills, and which lots would cause issues with house placement, etc. He was very familiar with the building code, set backs, etc. and the implications of those for whether it would support our plan.2) He understands the market and could advise us on how to build in a way that would create value. He was able to credibly advise on house valuations in the area and channel that insight into how much to spend on the lot. He was also able to leverage this insight to advise us on how to spec out the house in a way that would optimize equity creation (I.e. what upgrades add to the valuation and which do not).3) He was very helpful in counseling me through getting to the right offer to close the deal at a valuation that made sense.4) He is super responsive, professional and a pleasure to work with. He also sent my wife some flowers when our son was born which is indicative of his strong emphasis on customer relationships and class.I look forward to working with him again.

Jane A.

I had been trying to sell my house for a year and a half without any success despite using two producing Atlanta Agents. David was however able to succeed and sell my house with his expertise, guidance and unparalleled and dedicated customer service thus selling the house in a very short time. I am very impressed with David’s knowledge of the luxury real estate market and his ability to navigate the landscape amidst this tumultuous Covid time. He is exceptionally helpful, good Communicator, professional, honest and genuine which is a dedication to his work. I am truly honored to call David a friend rather than my realtor. I believe I have a friend for life whom we share similar tastes in life. I therefore highly recommend him to any and all.

Heather M.

BrownDaniel - Compass was amazing! We are so thankful for all of their help and walking us through the process of buying our first home. We literally would not have got our home without Nicholas Brown. They also have a contact list that has also been a massive help (movers, painters, etc). We highly recommend BrownDaniel - Compass.

Teresa G.

Addie Bartlett has been working with me since May 2021 to find a condo in the Sandy Springs area. She was very patient with me as I had not yet sold my home. The first place she took me to was Madison Square in Dunwoody and I loved the complex but the only unit available was ground floor with several A/C units right off the patio which meant lots of noise. She showed me many more properties but my mind kept going back to Madison Square. Oh, she was so patient with me! I finally put my home on the market and it sold in under two days and the only place I had to go was living with my daughter until I could find a place! On the day before the movers came Addie texted me about a unit available in Madison Square and it was perfect! We closed on December 21 and Addie walked me through the whole process. She was so attentive and thought of the things I needed or needed to do that I would have never thought about! She dealt with the seller for me and kept me informed all the way!Addie was very professional and caring from beginning to the end. I would highly recommend her to anyone selling or buying a home! You can be sure she will cover every detail with your best interest at heart.

Nicholas is the consummate professional, understands the real estate landscape. Nicholas and his team bring the expertise needed to sell your home quickly while increasing the neighborhood price values. Not only did I sell my home with Nicholas I also purchased a new construction home. This process was long and had a lot of ups and downs however, Nicholas was there for every step doing all he could to ensure the best possible outcome for me and my new home. I highly recommend Nicholas and the Brown Daniel team for both selling and buying a home.

Charlie G.

Great, seamless real estate transaction process. Megan was really helpful, answered all of our questions, and was proactive in trying to get out ahead of potential issues (so there weren't any). We got a house we love for a great price with no delays in the closing process. Highly recommended.

I have used BrownDaniel for a decade now. Back in 2009 I was dealing with a real estate agent who, long story short, said to me, "Find me someone who can sell your house in less than six months and I'll show you a unicorn." Naturally, I moved on from that agent, and in steps Nicholas Brown...the unicorn. Three weeks. He had it sold in three weeks and got more than I expected. Shortly after that he helped me find the perfect rental property for my family. I moved out of state a few years later and recently my family and I decided to make the move back to our beloved Atlanta. Of course, I called Nicholas again, and if it is somehow possible, the service, professionalism, thoroughness and going the extra mile has only gotten better! I can't say enough about Nicholas and his team. There simply just isn't another agent in all of Atlanta that I would use or recommend more.

morgan W.

Nicholas Brown is hands down the best realtor. We were first time home buyers and had a lot to learn. We feel so fortunate that Nicholas was recommended to us by a handful of people in the Buckhead / Brookhaven area. He made us feel like we were his only client. He responded to all of our emails within less than 5 minutes. He is incredibly knowledgeable and hard working. He continually went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and informed with each decision. His local knowledge proved incredibly valuable during the negotiation process. We are so thrilled we had him to represent us and we will continue to recommend him to our friends and family.

Bobby and Nicholas are the best at what they do! Hyper-responsive and did a very nice job selling our house for us. Don't call anyone else!

Krunali P.

I got a great house in a wonderful neighborhood! I used Addie Bartlett and she is wonderful. I've known her for years and she is extremely professional, responsive and full of knowledge on the Atlanta residential housing market.

Alyce A

Nicholas Brown exhibits best in class service. He is honest, helpful, respectful and was great to work with when we were searching for our new home. We are more than pleased with his services and would highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you for everything, Nicholas!

Erica H.

I had an amazing experience with BrownDaniel Group! Addie Bartlett was our agent and helped us find and buy our first home! I was very impressed from Addie starting with our introductory call - she took the time to walk through the entire process of buying a home, provided market knowledge, and brought a lot of credibility to the table. She made herself available to us any time we reached out and was extremely personable and professional. She helped us win the offer on our beautiful home among multiple other offers! I was very nervous that the whole process of buying a home would be confusing and overwhelming, but she really made everything simple and enjoyable for us. I could not say enough good things about Addie. I am so glad that we got to work with her and will definitely work with her again in the future!

Adam C.

The team at BrownDaniel did a phenomenal job for us. I truly believe that Nicholas and his team are the best in Atlanta.Nicholas and Lloyd helped us sell our house in Sandy Springs earlier this year, then represented us as we bought a new home in Buckhead. We chose BrownDaniel because of their frank, practical advice. They helped us set a timetable, make the right improvements and, crucially, set the right price. They shouldered much of the burden of getting the house ready to sell. As a result, we sold our house quickly and for close to asking. Meanwhile other houses in the neighborhood were still on sale months later and eventually sold for far below asking. When it came to buying a new home, Nicholas showed us some different skills. He is always thinking about how to make his clients money by buying houses that will retain value and be marketable. When we found the right place, after viewing around 50 properties, we were guided through every aspect of verifying the quality of the home and finding the right vendors to get it ready for us to move in. We wholeheartedly recommend them.

Bruce S.

Bobby Lammert is very good at what he does. His advice is informed by facts and data, and he has a pleasant, "can-do" attitude. We were very happy to have his assistance selling our home. The process was smooth and perfectly calibrated to market conditions.

Sienna O.

Addie was amazing! So attentive and available. After we closed she continued to stay in touch and remain super helpful. Overall a really great experience!

Tony S.

I highly recommend the BrownDaniel Group of Compass for all your real estate needs across Atlanta and the state of Georgia. Whether you need to sell or buy a home, their agents have the track record to prove their success. With the best technology, paired alongside expert local information, working with the BrownDaniel Group is key to a smooth transaction. Their attention to detail and high standards of quality are top notch and valuable for anyone from first-time homebuyers to seasoned real estate investors.

My experience with the Brown Daniel group and most notably my agent Aziz Izmour made 2020 turn out to be a phenomenal year. I never thought I would buy and sell a home during a global pandemic, but the option of listing the home vacant certainly made me feel the most comfortable. I learned quickly that Aziz strives to make his client feel comfortable first and foremost, while giving stellar advice. He quickly gained my trust and admiration for his skill and knowledge. He is extremely adept regarding area growth/development and even construction. He’s really a jack of all trades! Although the process itself was an emotional rollercoaster some days, Aziz kept it fun, exciting and kept me encouraged. I was ready to throw in the towel so many times, but Aziz navigated every speed bump and curveball for me. Looking back, this was such an emotional process but we made it through. 🙂 Aziz made me feel like a VIP client. In fact, I felt like I was his only client. 🙂 He is extremely responsive and attentive. I don’t really think he sleeps, but was always in a positive, upbeat mood and ready for whatever the day brought. In the end, we found an amazing home in West Midtown – an area that I didn’t even think was attainable but I’ve always loved. We listed my home as soon as I moved out as planned and due to Aziz’s smart pre-marketing and possibly that Moroccan charm 🙂 we had over 20 offers (3 before the listing went live) and sold for tens of thousands over the asking price. 🙂 Unbelievable! The absolute best part was that we closed on my birthday! Who does this? The perfect culmination to two amazing transactions. Aziz will find the silver lining and bring levity to any situation. I highly recommend working with him. He was the best part of the entire process!!! 🙂

Marcy S.

I highly recommend Nicholas Brown! He provided expert advice on where to spend money on key home improvements to yield the highest ROI in terms of a sale. After following his recommendations on a few minor improvements, we listed the house and he sold it almost immediately for full asking price. He is professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly polished. If you want to sell your home for the highest price in your market, hire Nicholas!

Leah L.

Nicholas and his team are absolutely the best. The attention to detail and customer service are second to none. Their process was very comprehensive and left us with very few questions. If we did have a question, they had a prompt response and solution. We would highly recommend!

Catherine R.

Bobby Lammert with BrownDaniel Group did a terrific job in short order. I had a different realtor and we were a long time on the market and had a deal that fell through 2 days before closing.Bobby was a breath of fresh air. He kept calling and when our deal fell through, we called him and he came right over. The one thing he said sealed the deal for us. "I will be here representing you at every showing". He did and we were at the closing table in less than 3 weeks and at a higher price than the deal that fell through. I highly recommend Bobby Lammert at BrownDaniel Group - Compass.

Sharon H.

Kimberly T.

Nicholas's knowledge, expertise, and professionalism are outstanding. We had the upmost confidence in his abilities, assisting us with both selling our home in 2018 and purchasing our current home in 2019. He accompanied us through numerous open houses with patience and guidance. His dedication was insurmountable and allowed us to find our perfect home.

jose C.

Working with Bobby, and Compass was a great experience. After not being able to sell my home for months they came in with a winning combination 1. The Brown Daniel team and 2. Compass concierge. Was able to do the needed upgrades with No money out of pocket up front and went under contract in 2 days. Bobby went above and beyond all the way.

Jared S

We just closed on our first home last week and we are only in this position because of Nicholas and the BrownDaniel team. We started engaging with Nicholas after a year of looking passively, and given how crazy the Atlanta market is in 2020-2021 we knew we needed an insider to the Brookhaven area to get us what we wanted. Nicholas was always available to answer our questions and brought us listings as soon as they went live, often before they hit Zillow or Realtor. Once we put an offer down he continued to lead us through all the phases from negotiation to inspection and closing, which was a relief being first time buyers. The entire group is so well informed that we would feel comfortable referring them to friends on either side of the transaction.

Amber R.

Working with Nicholas and his team at BrownDaniel has been absolutely wonderful from start to finish! Specifically agent Amy Hooper has made our home search and out-of-state move easy and almost stress-free! They have catered to our busy travel and work schedules, handled countless questions, advocated for us in the negotiation process and have been consistently responsive, professional and knowledgeable. I cannot recommend Amy, Nicholas and the BrownDaniel team enough!

Benjamin P.

My wife and I worked with Nicholas Brown on the purchase of our new home and the relationship could not have been more positive. He is the consummate professional and very thoughtful in helping clients through an emotional and big financial decision. He studies real estate and has a very deep knowledge base, he listens intently to his clients to understand what they want (even when they can’t fully articulate it), and he is a problem solver. He gave us so much confidence in our decisions (to Move on from properties and to move forward.) We could not have been happier with him, and would recommend him and his team to anyone

Jamie H.

Nicholas and Bobby were a pleasure to work with on the sale of our home. We are living across the country but with their support, we felt confident in the process even though we weren’t physically there. They communicated well at every turn and made sure our house was in tiptop shape before we went to market, going above and beyond by taking care of all the little things we couldn’t do from afar. We were very pleased after the open house when we got multiple offers on our home and ended up with a great closing price. Highly recommended agents!

Annette H.

I would 100% recommend Addie as a seller's agent. She researches the local market conditions and applies her understanding of market forces to effectively guide you through the selling process. She took the time to help me with preparing my house for sale prior to listing and ensured that everything that needed to be done (such pictures and brochures) was scheduled on time to avoid delay in listing. I was most impressed with her ability to adapt and navigate the market shift as my listing went live at the beginning of the COVID pandemic lockdown. Addie was proactive in marketing and was available whenever I needed her to check on my property since I was an out of state client. She was in constant contact and helped me throughout the whole process, including taking the time to track down and talking to potential buyers. She was also instrumental in negotiating and walking me through the contractual process and inspection process. As a first time seller, I did not appreciate the amount of work she put into my listing until comparing notes with my neighbor's experience, who listed just a month after me!

Andrew H.

David Pruett was a great agent to work with! He sold our house very quickly in a challenging marked, and we couldn’t have asked for a better agent to work with. He has great communication skills, is incredibly responsive, and helped navigate us through some challenges. We would highly recommend David to anyone looking for an agent to help them with their real estate journey!

Chris D.

Nicholas and his team went above and beyond selling our house and helping us buy our new home! Nicholas is extremely knowledgeable, very professional, and an excellent negotiator. We would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Chris A

Highly recommend this group of real estate professionals. In particular, Bobby Lammert went above and beyond to help me find my new home. He was responsive, punctual, professional, thorough, and incredibly hardworking. Admittedly, I’m a pretty demanding client - but Bobby was with me every step of the way. Always encouraging and eager to help. Can’t say enough positive things about Bobby!

Yoshimi M.

David is very knowledgeable and was great to work with during our home purchase process. He listened well and helped make the process go smoothly. He helped us through the extra challenge of purchasing remotely from out of state. We were grateful for his deep knowledge of Atlanta neighborhoods and the local real estate market. We also appreciated the detailed information he provided as well as his patience in answering our multitude of questions.

Lauren R.

Nicholas far exceeded our expectations! We connected with Nicholas for the sale of our house after having a very poor experience with another agent. Nicholas was quick to step in and listened to each and every concern we had and truly listened to what we needed out of him and his team. He came up with a plan of attack, guided us through the process and his team managed all the moving pieces. He provided us with excellent guidance throughout the selling and negotiation process, had impressive knowledge of the area and was extremely pleasant to work with. We will absolutely be using Nicholas with any of our future purchases/sales!

Michelle P.

We had the pleasure of working with David for our first home. We had been working with another realtor and “shopping” for two years. With his help, we found the home we were looking for and made a strategic offer. We are so grateful for his expertise and support throughout the process. As new homebuyers we had so many questions and his communication was on point.

Brett B.

David helped me purchase my first home 2 years ago, and has now helped my fiancé and I sell that home and buy a new home together. David is an absolute pleasure to work with. He's extremely knowledgeable and has been able to help us find two off market deals. With David's expertise and resources we've been able to navigate a challenging market on both the buy and sell side. There wasn't a question we had on either side that David wasn't able to answer and provide valuable insights on. He truly gets to know you as a client and will help find your dream home.

Sydney H.

If you are looking for a go-getter realtor in the Atlanta area to advocate for you in a tough, competitive market - look no further. David Pruett from BrownDaniel Group was the best realtor to support us in our search for our very first home.He worked diligently to secure showings, answer questions, prep offer letters, and protect our interests. He was SO responsive - often responding to my text inquiries within minutes.On multiple occasions, he booked us the first showing on a house that came on the market, in less than 24 hours. His knowledge of the market was unsurpassed and the Compass app made it easy to search, save, and comment on new listings.Thank you, David, for helping us buy our first home in our dream neighborhood!

Charlotte R.

We could not have asked for a better person to help us navigate purchasing our investment property! Addie Bartlett knew all the ins and outs of Dunwoody, which was key with this new construction purchase. We also used her services in securing a tenant and with her help we were able to close and have someone lined up to lease right away. There were lots of moving parts and nuances that come with new construction and rentals that Addie handled all seamlessly. She’s a true processional that was key to this deal working out so well.

Jasen H.

Nicholas and his team were an absolute godsend. As a first time home buyer on a budget, he provided an out-of-this-world level of service in every aspect of the process beginning with his efforts to understand who I am and what I was looking for, to working tirelessly to find the right place for me. He has an incredible knowledge of the market and has no problem telling you that a particular place is not right for you. His efforts are not just to sell you a home, but to make sure you make the right decision. You will not find a better professional in this town.

Emma F.

Nicholas was a complete joy to work with. He knew the areas, what things should cost, advised us on what we should and shouldn't purchase for resale and in the end, helped us negotiate and close on our dream home. That last item was no small feat, we were in a multiple offer situation for our dream home and there were six other offers aside from ours, but he got it through and we closed with relative ease. The entire time we were relaxed and felt like we were in good hands. This is our fifth home purchase so you could say we are experienced. In all my transactions I've never been in better hands. I couldn't recommend Nicholas and his team more highly.

Ceili C.

Addie was a phenomenal agent and support system, particularly during such a competitive and crazy market. She's smart, strategic, and has a clear vision on building a competitive offer in a seller's market. Addie will always share her expertise and insight but is never pushy. I felt like she was truly looking out for us at every step of the journey. THANK YOU, ADDIE!!!

Marcy S.

Doug G.

I recently purchased a new home in Chamblee with the help of Nicholas Brown. It was a pleasure to work with him. Everyone on his team is extremely knowledgeable. Nicholas was always quick to respond whenever I had a question or concern (and I’ve had quite a few)! I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their home.

Rashard G.

I think this is the best real estate agency in Atlanta! Brian Taylor was an exceptional agent in every respect. He helped us seamlessly navigate a very challenging market and provided tailored assistance along the way. I would give him more than 5 stars if possible and I would highly recommend him to anyone in the market for a home.

brandon A.

Nicholas was very responsive, professional and effective throughout every aspect of our transaction. Thank you. Thank you!

Corey D.

You must work with Addie Sherwood from Compass! The professionalism that she and her team showed cannot be beat! Not only was Addie diligent and resourceful, but she also ensured that we sold and closed within 20 days of contract acceptance. We are thankful for Addie and how she continued always represented our best interests.

Danielle S.

We had an amazing experience working with our realtor Addie Bartlett from Brown Daniel Group. We highly recommend her when listing your home or having her help you find your dream home! During our initial meeting with Addie and Nicholas, they came up with a strategic marketing plan for our listing, pricing, comps and knowledge of the area. Addie was always in constant contact with us, keeping us up to date on marketing materials, showings/feedback and open houses. She followed up with potential buyers, helped identify any needs for the house to help sell it quickly. Addie gave us 30 days for the listing and she was true to her word and we were under contract within those 30 days. Addie was very diligent in her work, organized and made the selling of our first home enjoyable!

steve K.

My experience with Addie Bartlett was nothing short of spectacular! I have bought and sold real estate for 35 years and I consider this to be one of the most pleasant experiences ever. Addie handled the sale of my Brookhaven home and a 1031 exchange for the purchase of a new investment. She was always in communication, easy to reach, very quick to return a call or an email and led me with expert advice in regards to the price and the terms. I highly recommend Addie for any and all real estate transactions!

Phil G.

Wonderful group of folks to work with. Nicholas was the best realtor we’ve worked with and we’ve done 8 real estate transactions around the country. Would definitely use again for all my Atlanta real estate needs.

Laura V.

Nicholas is the ultimate realtor. I felt I had one of the TV realtors representing us. He was so professional and knowledgeable. By far the best realtor we have ever worked with. He found us a great house and was super throughout the whole negotiating and buying process.

Taylor J.

Bobby listed/sold my house and helped me buy another home in record time. Price was sold over market value and the process was seamless. Any questions I had was answered by Bobby instantly via email, text, or phone call. His knowledge/expertise helped negate what is usually a stressful experience with home buying. Highly recommend!

Nicholas and his team are amazing. They found us a great house and were so terrific in the negotiation and buying process. We have bought and sold many houses and never worked with anyone as professional as Nicholas.

Brian G.

Nicholas and team were great in helping us sell our home. His input in updates to our home and negotiating were excellent. He guided us through the entire process and we knew we were in great hands. Very professional. He’s the best...

Rebecca Q.

Creative approach to selling our home, it's not cookie cutter. Nicholas takes into account what the home has to offer and highlights it. He figured out how to reach the right buyer.

Charlie W.

Nicholas Brown and Team are fantastic! Professional and stress free from start to finish. Nicholas handles every detail to perfection. Great experience in selling our home quickly and above asking price. Thanks!!!

I wish I could give Brian more than 5 stars; having him as our realtor has made all the difference in the world for our first home-buying experience! Brian was open and honest with us from the start, going above and beyond to educate us on the process and how to navigate purchasing our first place. He was extremely receptive and knowledgable regarding our questions and always made himself available for consultation and dialog, with excellent response time. I'm glad we worked with someone who leveled with us, made us feel heard, and empowered us to make our own decisions. Not once did I feel like things were out of control or that I was in the dark.We initially cast a fairly wide net but Brian somehow saw through the static and was able to find some excellent listings that matched our criteria, even as we were refining them. We're very lucky he found the listing we purchased when he did or we wouldn't have been able to get it!Brian was incredibly patient and supportive when we encountered issues with our mortgage lender, and he went above and beyond to make sure things were sorted out, especially as restrictions with coronavirus progressed.If you want a partner that will actively listen, educate, and collaborate with you with integrity and reassurance, please contact Brian Taylor. Working with him is one of the best decisions you'll make in the realm of real estate!

Mel S.

We have bought and sold 4 homes with BrownDaniel over the past 5 years and each time has been flawless. Nicholas and his team are the definition of professionalism and their sense of urgency is unmatched. I highly recommend this team.

Brandi Mullins T.

All I can say is wow. Nicholas will be our realtor forever and I would recommend him without reservation. We relocated from California and rather than trying to make a quick sale to us he took the time to educate us about the market. If I contact him I always have a response in 5 minutes or less. He helped us every step of the way in purchasing our dream home!

Nicholas Brown provided expert advice on where to spend money on key home improvements to yield the highest ROI in terms of a sale. After following his recommendations on a few minor improvements, we listed the house and he sold it almost immediately for full asking price. He is professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly polished. If you want to sell your home for the highest price in your market, hire Nicholas!

Nicholas helped my husband and I find our first home and we couldn't recommend him enough. He was incredibly patient, indulging our constant mind changing and taking us to explore neighborhoods all over the city. Most importantly, he was exceptionally honest and was so clearly committed to helping us make a smart investment that we knew we couldn't go wrong so long as he approved the property. If anyone is looking for a realtor who will be a partner in your search and ensure you end up in the best place possible, Nicholas is your guy!
