Brian Burke

We were referred to Brian by friends. We had our house on the market for about 3 months and decided to change agents. Brian told us the house would not sell for our listing price so we had to reduce. I will give it to him, we had a lot of showings and sold the house within a month, BUT....getting responses from him were terrible, and you can definitely tell he was used to selling much larger homes with much larger commissions and ours was not priority to him. I had to reach out to another real estate agent to get answers on some of my questions because we couldn't get them from Brian. The icing on the cake was after closing (which he didn't attend, but I do realize the agents don't always attend) was that he never called and thanked us for our business - until I sent him a text telling him closing went well. He called about 3 days later to "thank" us. I would recommend Linda Goff or Tatyana Makarov, which are the two agents I was able to get answers from, they do the job but they genuinely care about their clients. Brian is definitely only about the bottom dollar.

He made the experience horrible for us. Hard to get ahold of and didnt seem to give a crap about us. He didnt really do anything for us, a few other people had to step in for him and explain things to us so we didnt get screwed over because our realtor wasnt around. He pretty much made free money. I honestly think we just werent making him enough commission so he had bigger clients to attend too or hes spread too thin or both. Luckily we dont want to move again because it was a terrible experience.

Brian Burke is very professional and easy to work with. He sold our vacation home on Crystal Lake in Ellington, CT and then sold our primary residence in Tolland, CT. We highly recommend him. He knows how to get the job done!

Brian helped my parents sell their home of over 40 years. They needed to downsize and needed single floor living. Brian was extremely patient in explaining the process to my parents and was readily available for their questions and concerns. He went above and beyond to help them feel comfortable making this decision to sell. He took the time to understand what they needed in their new home and was able to provide some good options, personally checking the houses out himself while they were out of town. They are now in a lovely modern single floor house which they are really happy with. Cant recommend Brian enough! He took a stressful process and made it much easier for my parents.

Brian and his team did an exceptional job with both the sale and purchase of our homes. This was our first ever sale and we could not have had such a seamless first experience if it weren't for Brian's diligence, competence and energy. He allowed us as much or as little involvement that we wanted on both sides of the transaction. He engaged us with great resources in both the lender and attorney. He really helped support our decision making on both sides which is ultimately what we're paying an agent to do. He offered great advice and coaching throughout both processes, from start to middle to finish. We expected responsiveness and professionalism and Brian was a great recommendation for our needs. I would not hesitate to recommend Brian for either a sale or purchase and we'll certainly be using Brian if we are to have further transactions down the line. We were incredibly fortunate to have worked with him and he turned around both the sale and purchase in less than two months. Really, really helpful and very easy to work with. We anticipated some challenge or stress doing both transactions simultaneously, but Brian took on much of the heavy lifting and allowed us a really great process. I typically don't spend time writing reviews, for anything, but our family felt very compelled to share this great experience so that other people with the same needs could hear about our own successes in working with Brian and Coldwell.

Brian knew the area and market well. He helped us both sell our house and purchase one. He was always available for questions or concerns. It was a pleasure working with him.

Brian is an invaluable asset to us as a trusted real estate agent. I can call him at anytime with questions about properties and his knowledge in the real estate market is unmatched. He is a leader in the industry. I would never use another agent. If you hire Brian, you will not be disappointed. I refer him to everyone that is in need of a real estate agent.

Brian was very organized and quick to respond to any questions. He made the home buying process smooth and painless, especially when going through the short sale process.

I want to preface this by saying that there are not enough good things in the world to say about Brian. He was everything that we needed and more from an agent. He was always there to fill us in on the background of the house and neighborhood when we were looking, always answered our questions promptly and completely and was attentive to our wants/needs. When Brian was out of town, he was always sure to connect us with another of his team members to help us out and the entire team was fantastic. On top of that, Brian brings the complete package to the table. I am not the type of person that can juggle finding a loan officer, attorney, inspector, etc on my own. At my request, Brian had multiple recommendations for each and worked hand in hand with them through the whole process. My advice, if you're looking for a real estate agent, Brian is the best you can find.
