Testimonials
“My husband and I started the search for our first home at probably the worst time to buy in recent history. Brad stuck with us though and helped us find the perfect little home. As first-time home buyers, we didn't know a lot and had no less than 1,000 questions, but Brad handled them all expertly. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped us put together compelling offers without pushing us into terms we weren't comfortable with. All in all, it was a terrific experience, and we were very pleased with the process. Couldn't have done it without Brad.”
“I highly recommend Brad Booker!

I was successful in purchasing a home that fit everything on my must have list, so I am very excited!”
“Brad was an excellent agent, who we would recommend to anyone. He was devoted to our needs and took time to understand what we were looking for. He also was especially helpful when we needed assistance understanding detailed elements of the search and buying process. Our offer was on an especially complicated property, and Brad guided the process expertly, getting us the kind of great deal that is rare in the hot housing market.”
“Brad was absolutely wonderful to us throughout the entire home-buying process. He was always quick to respond, and it was so easy to work with them even across states and time zones. We benefitted from his extensive knowledge of the city and were so inspired by how much he loves it too.”
“Working with Brad was fantastic! His guidance was always spot on and his easy going and optimistic personality made us feel comfortable in the process of selling our house. We had a bezillion “what if” questions and Brad was eternally kind, practical and patient. We appreciated his straightforward advice offering great, affordable solutions as a few repair issues arose. The house sold quickly and without a dramatic ending because Brad kept us on the sunny side with a calm professional head and terrific humor. Big thanks!!!”
