    Bought a Single Family home in 2013 in Beaver Dam, WI.
    A pleasure to work with, far beyond my expectations. His knowledge of construction, remodeling, and maintaining a residence helped to reassure my home was exactly what I purchased. But I believe his best quality was working with me to find that perfect home. He never was pushing me into a sale and would always point out the flaws that he found, he probably found more problems then the home inspector on my purchase. I would highly recommend Brain French!More Less

    Bought a Single Family home in 2013 in Beaver Dam, WI.
    We were first time homebuyers, new to the area, and had also had a less than positive experience with a different realtor when we attempted to buy previously in a different community. I asked a co-worker if they had any recommendations on realtors in the area, and they recommended Brian. I believe in personal recommendations, so I read his reviews on Zillow, and took the advice of my co-worker and contacted Brian.

    He agreed to help us, and we set up numerous viewings. Brian worked to understand the type and price of home we were looking for. He asked a number of questions to get better understanding of our needs. He never pressured us into looking at or purchasing any of the homes, but on the contrary, would point out things in homes that he felt were or could be issues, but it was always from an un-biased, third party, perspective. As we were looking, he also provided us with new listing updates, and reccomendations on homes he felt we might be interested in. He was prompt in setting up viewings on our schedule.

    When we decided to make an offer on our home, he walked us through every step. As our buyer's agent, HE WORKED FOR US. We were able to purchase our home at the price we wanted and were able to work with the seller's, and seller's agent, to get work done on the home that we asked for. Brian also worked with our loan officer and bank to provide the necessary documentation to get our loan done in a timely fashion. Brian has great connections in the local real estate, maintenance/construction, banking, insurance, home inspection, and title businesses that he again provided us with multiple options to get service with various firms, all in a low-pressure, third party observation, manner. Needless to say, we had no issues purchasing our home, securing our loan, and meeting our closing timeline.

    So, I know this is very long review. But, to summarize, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND choosing Brian French to be your realtor for his hard work ethic, integrity, and responsibility to us as his clients throughout the entire home purchasing process. Brian French is an outstanding realtor.

    Bought a Single Family home in 2013 for approximately $25K in Beaver Dam, WI.
    My wife and I were very pleased with the service we received from Brian. Being an out of state buyer added some interesting aspects to the buying process and Brian was very accommodating in assuring the purchase went as smoothly as possible.He answered our questions and concerns promptly, which often times eased our anxieties as long distance buyers. Little things like meeting with the carpet people before we arrived helped immensely in assuring our home was move in ready when we arrived. Our buying experience was as worry free as possible for anyone buying a home. Brian's personal and courteous approach, professional attitude and excellent expertise in the field of real estate and Brian's willingness to go the extra mile, made our home buying experience both comfortably and confidently accomplished. My wife and I would highly recommend Brian French if you are considering buying a home.More Less

    About Brian French

    Add personality to your profile! Tell the community about yourself, your home, and your profession.

    When Brian and Sabine opened The French Real Estate Company back in 1999, it was out of their home on Mary Street . Today, you can find their office in the old Herter's Building at 111 E. Burnett St, Beaver Dam, where they built their apartment upstairs (just look upstairs where the big windows are). Sabine manages the office (among other things) while trying to keep up with Brian and all his new ideas, they have two children Christopher and Shelby .

    Sabine was born in a small town in Germany (Hessisch-Oldendorf - go look it up on a map) where Brian met her. Brian was living (living it up) there while with the Air Force. Christopher was born while on their second stationing in Germany - southern Germany this time. Reluctantly, Sabine followed Brian to the States on the promise of 24 hour shopping and no more hand-washing of laundry. Brian and Sabine took a leap of faith in 1999 - Brian left his job with the Federal Aviation Administration (where they started their day by taking a break) - deciding then to open the real estate business.
