Brian Getman is a fantastic real estate agent. He did a wonderful job of advertising our condo with lots of nice pictures online. He is punctual and an effective communicator. He stuck with us through a couple of bumps in the road, and made our closing smooth and easy. I highly recommend Brian, he is a super agent!
I moved to Portland without a car. I moved into an apt downtown and using public transport got to know most of the area I thought I wanted to live in. Went to open houses for condos and apts for sale. Talked to agents about my needs. I called Brian about a property I had seen online and he offered to pick me up. In all my searches Brian was the ONLY agent to drive me around Portland. Found the perfect townhome and Brian was able to get me a fair price with no competition from other buyers. I remodeled and made quite a out of profit when Brian sold it for me. 4 months later Brian found me my current home which 3 years on has increased in price nearly half again as much! Brian will do whatever it takes to find you the perfect fit. I’m forever grateful for his help. Cheers
Brian Is Great! We really enjoyed our home buying experience with Brian. He was very patient and truly wanted to find the right home for us and HE DID! There were times when we wanted to settle for 'almost the right house' but Brian talked some sense into us and told us to wait for the right one and I'm so glad he did. Highly recommend.
As being new comers to Portland, Brian spent two years with us with lots of patience showing us every areas in Portland to help us choose the place. Never felt pushed to buy anything, he understood our needs, he did a lot of homework on the places he showed us pointing out the pluses and minuses. Highly recommend him.
This is the 6th home sale I have been involved with in my life. I have worked with quite a few Agents though all of these sales. I would rate Brian Getman as the #1 Agent I have ever worked with. He is intelligent, experienced, very professional, and most importantly realistic in his approach to handling Real Estate transactions. He went above and beyond what is typically expected from an agent. I would highly recommend Brian if it’s important to you to have 1st class representation, and someone who will look out for your best needs.
Brian is the best! He helped us find and purchase the perfect house in Portland. He was incredibly knowledgable, helpful and available throughout the process. He listened to our needs and concerns and gave us great counsel during our home search. He made it all so much less stressful than it would have been otherwise. He knows the market inside and out and I was always fully confident that he had our best interests at heart. It's not an easy time to buy a home but it's possible with Brian in your corner.
We recently used Brian on the sale of our home and purchase of new home. In both transactions, Brian was very attentive, always available and super easy to work with. His knowledge of the market is excellent and negotiating skills are tremendous. I would recommend Brian wholeheartedly to anyone in need of a real estate expert!
Brian is definitely the best realtor in Portland. He was able to sell our condo in downtown in a tough condo market for more than I was expecting because he had a strategy. The things my wife and I liked about Brian was his professionalism and honesty. We developed a plan together and had to adjust it in the late summer of 2020, with Covid and the riots. Brain suggested that instead of lowering the price, we take it off the market until things calmed down the the condo market picked back up, his strategy (which saves us money) was that once we lower the price we can not adjust back up, and the market was beyond soft. We followed his advice and in the spring of 2021 we relisted our unit at an aggressive price. Again, Brian saved us money since I was assuming we list it for a lot less, but his strategy was clear and we went with his advice. Two months later after only a single price adjustment down, we got a full price offer. In total, Brian probably saved us $50-75k in my opinion, because of his strategy and understanding of the market. Brian’s strategy was to get us the best price he could and not a quick sell for his commission. Needless to say, we were very happy with Brian but it’s the small things he does too that sets him apart. We had a quick closing and he knew we were stressed about moving. Brian stopped by to check in on us, and offered (and paid) for our unit to be cleaned so we could focus on moving out and not stress about cleaning. These are the things that set Brian apart. His priority is his clients not his commission. I would not hesitate to recommend or hire him again.
brian took the time to research comps and find a great listing price. our house sold in 5 days over asking. so easy
[Buyer’s perspective] Brian demonstrated a strong market knowledge, was flexible on making his schedule work with my atypically erratic availability, was honest about every house we visited (countless tours lasting many months), and found options meeting our tough specifications. Most importantly when it came time to make offers Brian was calculated, assertive, and kept a level head in ‘multiple offer’ conditions when Buyer and Seller behavior can become manic. Without question Brian sincerely represented my family’s best interests, assisted with our emotional highs-and-lows, delivered on value, and flat out earned his fee. Our experience with Brian was very positive and he was a good teammate.
Brian helped me sell my home and buy another one in the spring/summer of 2017. I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with him! Brian is friendly, dependable, professional, dedicated, extremely knowledgeable... and the list goes on. He went above and beyond what I expected a realtor to do time and time again. I’ll definitely ask Brian to be my realtor the next time I buy or sell a home!
I enjoyed working with Brian. Very professional. Communication with him was easy, always very responsive and available on short notice. Excellent knowledge of market. Loved the home we bought! Definitely would recommend him to my friends.
Brian made selling our home so easy! We were in a time crunch to move out of state and Brian pulled out all his magic tricks to sell our home within weeks of listing!!! We also purchased our home with Brian 5 years prior and never once thought of using another agent to list our home. He’s knowledgeable, connected, down to earth and overall a fun guy! Thanks for everything you have done for us!!
We had such a fantastic experience working with Brian as our selling agent for our Forest Heights home. He was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, tremendously knowledgeable about the market, and impressively accurate in terms of predicting how everything would play out. We were ecstatic with the outcome since Brian seamlessly navigated all of the dynamics involved in the sale of a home, which positioned us well to purchase a new house in another city. I would highly recommend leveraging Brian's expertise to either buy or sell a home in the greater Portland area since you'll be equally pleased with his professional guidance.
Brian is an honest, patient, and caring agent who helped us find our first home ! We must have looked at two dozen homes or so and Brian happily met us at each one within a reasonable amount of time, sometimes even the day of ! He was on the ball with sending us homes within our price range knowing that they were going to go fast. He was honest about flaws and saw potential in the ugly or worn down. He didn't try to oversell anything and was definitely listening to what we wanted and didn't care for. I apologized so many times for making him work so hard and he never once made me feel bad about it. We are now celebrating our fifth year in our first home where we recently saw our little one take his first steps. Brian is awesome and we will definitely use him when we sell and move on from here.
