I grew up hearing the story of how my grandpa worked two jobs and built their home with whatever time was left over.  My grandparents, my mom, and my two uncles lived in a one-room shed that he built first, so they had a roof over their heads while he finished their house.

My grandparents slept on a sofa-bed, which my Grandma made up every night, and folded back up every morning, so they had a place to sit throughout the day besides the kitchen table. Grandpa built that house with no power tools, and everyone helped, including my mom who would pick up bent nails and straighten them so that my grandpa could attempt to use them again.

In 2007, my wife and I bought our first home.  We put everything we worked for on the line.  I kept thinking back to how my grandparents were willing to do whatever it took to own a home, and was determined to do the same.

Fifteen years later, so much of what we’ve been able to accomplish has come from that decision.  Real estate made a massive difference in our life, and I’d like to see it do the same in yours.

Whether you’re buying your first home, or selling the home you’ve owned for decades, let me be your guide. I’ll be patient, take the time, and I’ll sweat the small stuff so you don’t have to.  Navigating an ever-changing real estate market can be rough seas, and deep waters.  Let me be your ticket to SMOOTH SELLING.

Brian loves working in the real estate industry and has been a licensed REALTOR® since 2012. With his mother in law (Taryn McKay) as his first business partner they formed Very Real Estate Agents. Formerly, Brian worked as a Pastor at Maple Ridge Community Church; as a result he is a skilled and passionate communicator, a dedicated and compassionate problem solver and he values the opportunity to serve people.  

Less than 9 years into the industry Brian was asked to manage a real estate office of 70+ agents.  This expanded his knowledge and experience within the industry; giving him exceptional insights that benefit his clients and team to this day.  Now at Royal LePage Elite Realty, a much larger 300 agent office, Brian is happy to be assistant manager on call every 3rd week – allowing him more time for his clients; but still keeping one foot in the management and leadership side of the industry.

Brian is a loving and devoted husband to Carly and father to their three children. Outside of real estate, Brian enjoys spending time with his family and friends, serving and volunteering at their local church, working on his health and fitness at CrossFit Steps, and following the local Vancouver Sports Teams.
