Brian Teyssier Reviews

Let me tell you about my experience with Brian.. This past February my boyfriend and I were told that the house we were living in had sold and that unfortunately, we had to find a place of our own within 6 weeks. We talked about renting another place but didn't want to be placed in a similar situation again, so we elected to buy our first house. We saw a few places that we liked on Zillow and wanted to see them, so I placed a call to the agent that was listing that property, told them the urgency of our situation and our need to see houses immediately. After two days, I hadn't heard back from them, so I went online and googled "best real estate agents in Pittsburgh" and found Brian. I called his number and reached him directly and by the end of our conversation, he had emailed me. We saw houses, tons of houses, all over. He worked with our schedule, with our budget (which definitely wasn't what he was listed as dealing with), and understood that we were on a strict timeline. He knew the ins and outs of FHA loans, just what we should be looking for when buying our first house, and when we had found the house we wanted, he submitted, negotiated and finalized our offer by 11 pm.

I would recommend Brian to absolutely anyone buying a house. He is hands down, the easiest person in world to get hold of, he listened to what we wanted, and didn't lead us into buying a house just to get us into closing. We've said that when it's time to sell this place, we'll list with Brian and hopefully close on another new property with him. He was fantastic to work with and look forward to doing so again in the future.

My husband and I first came in contact with Brian roughly a year ago after a bad experience with another agent left us, once again, looking for representation.

We initially approached Brian in regards to listing our condo in Pittsburgh’s Southside. Brian happily jumped to action, filming a swanky YouTube video, creating stunning pamphlets, and planning an introductory “cocktail-party style” twilight open house.

Shortly after listing our condo with Brian, my husband and I decided to go a different direction and turn the unit into a rental property. Brian was generous enough to allow us to expire the listing early (way early – we only gave the poor guy about 2 weeks!) and even offered tips on how to advertise the property as a rental.

7 months after turning our former primary residence into a rental property my husband and I were ready to buy our new home. We knew, without a doubt, that Brian was our man! Once again, he jumped to action – setting us up on a property notification website, helping us research school districts, and even showing us properties “after hours” and late into the evening due to my husband’s hectic work schedule.

Yesterday, my husband and I finally received the keys to our dream home and we couldn’t have done it without Brian by our side. He has a wonderful team of people (Leslie Raymond – you kept me sane!) that are also right there with you, every step of the way.

All other accolades aside; if you are looking for a reliable, prompt, tech savvy, friendly agent – Brian is your guy. He will be with you every step of the process, regardless of how much you’re listing your property for, or how much you’re looking to spend for the home of your dreams; Brian treats each and every one of his clients with respect.

Thanks again Brian, we couldn’t have done it without out you and your fabulous team!

We have worked with many realtors on both the buying and selling end of homes. In this particular case, we worked with Brian while selling our home. Some things that made him immediately stand-out to us above the others in the field is he never asked how much we owed on the home (which is typical for someone looking for a quick sale) and he stressed the positive elements of the home rather drawing our focus to its drawbacks (again, typical of a quick sale). The later was especially important to us because we happened to still really like the home that we were selling.

He also had some impressive tactics. Rather than just pictures of the home, he created a YouTube video that gave a walk-through of house. Sometimes, it's the extra effort that's all that is needed. In this case, I cannot directly vouch to whether or not it brought extra viewers initially because there is no way that I would know, but I do know that the eventual buyers showed this video to their parents. So at the very least, it was an additional tool and may have also quite possibly been some positive re-enforcement. The problem is that when I watched this video, it gave me second thoughts of selling! In any case, I was impressed.

The last thing that I liked about working with him is he was somewhat of a realist. We had done a lot of work to our home (originally intending to stay there... well, at least one of us was....) and he shared that experience with his winter hobby of fixing up homes. So going in, both of us knew what was within reason to do and when a buyer was living in a dream world (as we would get feedback on viewings). He offered his opinion when asked; some of the things we agreed with and some of them we didn't. I guess just like any other team. Ultimately, we worked together to get the deal done.

So, to end this rambling, I would definitely recommend Brian as a Realtor. He's knowledgeable, usually ahead of the game, and puts in the work that the others seemed to put-off. He does not wait for the computer system to just sell the house and wait to collect his pay-check. He actually works for the sale.

I could not have been any happier with Brian's services. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many different Sales Tools Brian used to list my home and make it known to the public. Brian's use of modern Technology was made very apparent from the beginning. I truly believe that these tools is what allowed my home to sell so quickly despite the Winter / Holiday season.

I have already recommended Brian's services to a friend of mine whom is searching for a home and I will continue to do so in the future.

Efficient, motivated, and aggressive. Brian is very accessible, punctual, and willing to work for the client. For example, our car was in for repair one week, so he offered to pick us up to see properties of interest the whole week. He communicates very well, keeps you connected, and you can be direct with him. Also, even when the process of negotiation gets a little challenging, he will listen and act to help you reach your ideal price and goal. Overall, we highly recommend Brian as a buying agent.
