Brian has been my property manager for the last seven years. I am an out-of-state landlord and without his help I would have not been able to do this. There was no doubt in my mind, when I decided to sell my property that Brian would the agent on my side of the sale. He is fair, honest, and got it done quickly. I am sad to lose him as a property manager, but know that he is someone people can trust to sell their property.
Brian found us the perfect place for the right price. He knew exactly what we were looking for and what our price point was and actually found this for us in the first few days of our search, but just to be sure he also showed us several other properties that could have worked...we just kept coming back to this one. Being first time homebuyers we were a little nervous at first but Brian pretty quickly put us at ease,always letting us know what to expect next and exactly when. We could never have expected it would go so smoothly and couldn't be happier THANK YOU BRIAN!
I worked with Brian Kester for a number of years, first as the Property Manager of a rental property, and then as the Realtor when I recently sold the property. Brian has always been extremely professional, responds in a very timely way, and is highly knowledgeable about costs for repairs, finding vendors, communicating with rental occupants, and current real estate market trends. He is dependable and punctual and follows up on all the many aspects and details both of managing and selling a property. I always felt confident that Brian had my best interest in mind when managing and selling the home and I am grateful for his support and expertise.
Brian is a pro. For more than 20 years he managed our beloved second home before he sold it for us, bringing in a perfect buyer who paid top dollar. Sentiment was a big focus for us. My husband had lived there for many years, and we rented it out with an eye toward moving back in after retirement. Brian managed it carefully, always according to our values without any pressures to conform to some other idea that might be more convenient for him. One tenant left nasty surprises, and repairs were expensive, but Brian made us whole. In all repairs and maintenance he chose contractors who worked fast and inexpensively while doing quality work. When we finally decided to sell, my husband had owned our home for 60 years. We loved it deeply and wanted the best for it. Brian prepped it carefully, worked according to our concerns, tended the listing day and evening, and brought in a top-dollar bid from someone who matched our vision of the best possible buyer. The sales transaction went quickly and smoothly, including after-hours emails and online document signings. We couldn't have asked for a better agent in all phases of his longtime care and service.
Brian is not only my real estate agent but a professional colleague as well. We have known each other for over 15 years and worked together for approximately 10 years prior to my retirement. I decided to sell a rental property this year which Brian sold for much more than I had anticipated. It sold within days of being listed and at full price. Brian was able to handle some intricacies of the sale with creativity and obvious expertise. Brian has exceptional experience in all facets of real estate activities and I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs this type of service.
Brian was helpful throughout the entire process of selling our home. He had our best interests in mind and was always available to answer questions. I highly recommend him and would use him again if we buy or sell in the Eugene area.
Brian was extremely knowledgeable about the local market, completed a thorough market evaluation, and oversaw all aspects of the repair/remodel process to get house sold.
Brian was very courteous and professional.. He always kept us up to date on any issues that needed our attention. Home knows what he is doing. And he is very good at it. We would recommend Brian Kester to anyone seeking a competent professional realtor.
Brian is extremely well informed on the Real Estate Market in Eugene -he not only sold this property for me - but also managed it for 15 years as it was rental property. We worked together on a number of upgrades over the years. My property had an offer within a week partly due to strategic advertising and a well managed Open House. Brian is quick and thorough in his responses. You couldn't do better!
Brian managed my rental property after I moved out of it in October of 2014 for over 2 years, and then seamlessly transitioned to my selling agent when the time came. I couldn't have asked for a better advocate for my best interests! I highly recommend Brian to any and all looking for a professional to shoot it to you straight.
Brian managed the sale of my rental house brilliantly. He carefully and cost-effectively updated the property prior to it going on the market. He developed a successful pricing strategy that resulted in multiple bids. He kept me updated throughout the entire process and sought input when it was needed. I highly recommend Brian and will work with him again.
Brian did an outstanding job on preparing our house for sale (which needed some work), developing a pricing strategy, and getting multiple bidders for our home. He was all over the transaction--- providing frequent updates and recommendations each step of the way. He is very detail and results oriented. Bottom-line: I highly recommend Brian and will work with him again.
