Personal Background

A resident of Minnesota since 1999. I have lived in Saint Paul for the past fourteen years. I consider myself an educator first and a change agent. I have a strong background in leadership, management, and higher education administration. As an NAR member, I have worked intensely on listing properties throughout the past downturn market and helping first-time homebuyers realize their dream.

I am excited to work with families and individuals to list their homes or find their first dream 'castle' to call home. The privilege to walk through another's home is a thrill and a hobby for me. I enjoy being a member of a team that helps others through one of the most significant transitions in their life - a move from, or to, a new home.

Testimonials

Brian helped me with my Rental Property renewal. He was able to get the contract negotiated and signed and he actually got me more for the rental than I was expecting. The process went very smoothly and both my renter and I are very satisfied.

Purchasing a new home, property, or condo with Brian is a joy. Brian goes to great lengths for his clients. His communication and knowledge are top-notch. He is always punctual and honest. I recommend, it highly!
— Kyle P.
Brian was our realtor to locate a condo for my mom, and she can be a challenge with very specific yet changing requirements. He was very patient, and positive, and found the perfect place within our price range while meeting all our requirements in a competitive University City. He obviously listened well, went above and beyond, and kept our needs as a priority. During the purchase phase, he was technically knowledgeable and was able to answer all our contract questions timely. I give Brian my highest recommendation and will definitely be calling on his expertise again if we were to purchase or sell another property.
— Jacqueline L.
Brian listed a property for one of my clients last year and he was able to sell the property for the asking price. Brian was always accessible and more than happy to answer all questions or concerns. I highly recommend him to all types of buyers and sellers.
— Aaron L.
Brian helped me find a home four years ago. What's not covered in these rating questions is his patience and integrity. As a first-time home buyer, I didn't know what I was doing. Brian helped immensely. I always felt like his first goal was to help find the right place for me; he's not in it for quick sales.

Mr. Brian Wagner was my real-estate agent during the year of 2008 when I bought my first home. The process of buying my first home was very overwhelming when I first started searching for my new home; yet, Mr. Wagner made it very smooth. He took the opportunity to fully understand what my needs for a home were; however, he also showed me homes outside of what I thought was right for me to give me the full perspective of my home choices. Mr. Wagner and I looked at over 30 homes face to face until I was able to locate the right home for me. When I located the perfect home, he walked me through the process and was able to answer all my questions. I ver...

Brian made selling my house an easy and comfortable process. He communicated via phone, text, email, and in person and provided clear and detailed information as well as carefully explained every part of the process. Basically, he wanted to make it a great experience for me and he did! I definitely recommend working with Brian as he is a hard-working, professional realtor and will do what he can to take excellent care of you!
— Julie J.
Brian made selling my home in 2009 virtually stress-free and painless. After a horrible experience buying my home with another agent, I really put Brian to the test when I sold my home! Brian walked me through the process and prepared me for what to expect and then provided feedback that made it possible for me to quickly sell my home at the price I wanted. Brian is the bar to which I measure all other Realtors, and few have even come close to matching his level of professionalism and dedication. Brian is, in my book, the best resource for buying or selling a home that one could hope to find!
— Matthew R.
I couldn't be more pleased with Brian's assistance in the difficult process of buying a home, let alone finding the right one! He was extremely patient and helpful throughout the entire process, and even though I had researched over 80 houses, I never felt pressured or influenced to make a snap decision without thinking my options through. Brian was excellent in preparing me for what to expect throughout the entire process, and as a first-time home buyer, I really couldn't have found anyone better. Brian even had great recommendations for the other services that I needed to complete the process, and we also utilized Angie's list to find a reputable ...

As first-time homebuyers, we were excited, overwhelmed, and scared all at the same time. We met Brian at a random open house months before we were even ready to make a purchase. (And, we were thrilled to find out that first-time homebuyers were his specialty.) After a crash lesson about the process, months of personalized web searches, and a 2-day showing tour around St. Paul, we found our house! Brian has always been super responsive and, for us, the best part was his professional yet laid-back, non-salesman approach; he knows his neighborhoods and is honest but never pushy. His style was perfect for us and we are so glad that we walked into his op...
