I've had the pleasure of working with a handful of real estate agents in my life, both in New York and now in West Virginia. None of them compares in any meaningful way to what I saw from Bryan Thompson while working together to purchase a property. At every opportunity, Bryan set himself apart, starting from the very first time we met at the property, taking multiple hours to hike around the grounds, showing his abundant knowledge of the flora and fauna in the process. Bryan immediately impressed me not just by his knowledge and commitment to the sale but also by his scrupulous honesty and forthright nature. When asked uncomfortable questions, for example, about the state of the roof or the age of the deck, Bryan gave honest, ultimately prescient answers, preparing me accurately for the work that needed to be done (we're currently putting on a new roof and rebuilding the rear deck). Bryan also recommended a truly thorough and seemingly honest inspector (Richard Mines) who did an excellent and comprehensive job finding potential issues with the property.
During this inspection period, Bryan also revealed just how able and willing he was to go above and beyond the call of duty, personally inspecting the deed and septic plans at the town hall in Marlinton and then driving multiple hours to be on site for the septic dig up at 7 am in Green Bank. Bryan was consistently available for communications, quick to respond when unavailable, and punctual at all times. At every opportunity, Bryan showed himself to be a man of his word, someone who followed through on his commitments and could be trusted to do the right thing. It was a genuine pleasure getting to know Bryan and have him work on our behalf. From my experience, Bryan showed himself as a rare kind of agent, both extremely knowledgeable and skilled and genuinely trustworthy.
I feel extremely lucky to have found Bryan to represent us during this purchase, and I plan to enlist his services for any future deals in the area. Bryan proved himself to be invaluable time and time again, and I sincerely hope to get the chance to work with him again in the future.
