Testimonials
"
Brian remains without doubt the best in the business. We were under contract for our sale within two weeks of the listing, and for close to full asking price.
We had multiple friends and family tell us how hard it was going to be to sell in Amsterdam during the winter. We never had a doubt that Brian had the skills necessary to make our home stand out.
This is why I will never buy or sell without him, and I won’t recommend anyone else to my friends and family.

My wife and I moved to the Capital District from out-of-state and had to find, offer, and close on our home while traveling back and forth on a very limited schedule. Brian brought boundless enthusiasm and local knowledge to our search. He was especially helpful being that we had NO IDEA what to expect in the Albany-area market and he guided us towards a great home in a great neighborhood. Brian was in constant contact with us through the whole process and balanced multiple frantic phone calls and text messages during inspections and during closing. He's a fantastic real estate agent. We would highly recommend Brian to anyone.

This is why Brian Sinkoff is the best Realtor around. He just called to check in on how the house is going – 4 months after I purchased it! Did I mention to also wish us a Happy Anniversary? If you need a Realtor that really cares about you, Brian is the man to call. Thanks Brian – this truly means a lot. We’re now buddies for life!

This was my 2nd time using Brian as my agent. My first experience was four years ago when my wife and I bought our first home, and that one ended with us buying the perfect home for us at the time at a great price with the process going smoothly. This time we wanted to sell that home and buy the “forever” home and Brian nailed it again. He got us what we needed from our sale and helped us find the perfect home to raise our family. From the listing consultation to close Brian was on top of every little detail. His experience paid off on a number of occasions when he was able to prevent little issues from becoming big ones, and his ability to be a trustworthy, reliable and knowledgeable advisor during the process left my wife and I feeling confident in every step of the decision making process. There’s no greater peace of mind than that when buying and selling. My only regret is that we just bought our “forever” home which means we may not have the pleasure of working with Brian again...but if we need to he’ll be my first and only phone call.

My wife and I used Brian to buy our first house, and he really looked out for us in every way. We were completely clueless and a little bit afraid to be quite honest, and Brian put our worries to rest. The guy works around the clock day and night for you and is always there when you need him. He is fierce when it comes to negotiations and getting things done, a real go-getter! I'd recommend Brian to anyone

My wife and I were very fortunate to have Brian as our buyer's agent during our first home-buying experience. We are new to the capital region and we were very lucky to have someone so knowledgeable and friendly as our agent.
From the beginning, Brian walked us through the home-buying process and made sure that we identified our wants and needs for our home. He helped us find a number of homes that met our criteria and our budget. While looking at a couple of houses, Brian was not shy about pulling us out of the houses that would not be right for us. He is always open and honest with his opinion on prospective homes.
Brian was always available and offered prompt responses to e-mails and text messages, especially when I was free from work on nights and weekends. He would be available to show a home after work or on weekends when we were available.
Brian was able to find a beautiful home for us before it was even listed on the market. With his help, we were able to meet at his office late that same night and submit an offer right away. We received a response the very next day. Brian worked with us throughout the entire closing process and answered all of questions as first-time home buyers. Brian was able to recommend to us an excellent lawyer and home inspector with whom he has established strong professional relationships.
Brian is an agent who is truly looking to earn his clients' trust, and business, for life. He cares that his clients will enjoy their new home and that it meets their needs. He will work diligently with his clients on their first deal with an eye towards working together in the future.

Brian is simply awesome and he actually cares. I am a first time home buyer and there were so many instances where we had conflicts with the seller . Brian handled them with my best interests at heart and also thoroughly explained anything I had questions about right from the start all the way to the end. I expected somewhere throughout the buying process the service would have been lacking or Brian would have disappeared until the closing but Brian was checking in weekly asking how I was which was EXACTLY what I wanted when seeking someone to represent me. I would highly recommend Brian Sinkoff to anyone who is serious about buying property. I am extremely happy with my home. Brian is the agent that keeps the REAL in real estate agent.
