Brian was one of the brokers we found online when we decided to move our family from the West Loop to the Oak Park/River Forest area 9 months into the pandemic. We cold called him and he responded right away. The first thing you realize when you meet him is that he is an overall great guy which makes everything easier. In addition to that, he is very savvy, easily reachable and totally in tune with the market in Western Suburbs and the City. 9 months into the pandemic, we tasked Brian with finding us value in River Forest/Oak Park in a sellers market and in less then 3 months he delivered, finding us a house in River Forest in a fantastic location with great potential that had been overlooked by others because of the marketing/and high listing price on the sell side.

Brian was one of the brokers we found online when we decided to move our family from the West Loop to the Oak Park/River Forest area 9 months into the pandemic.

In addition to that, he is very savvy, easily reachable and totally in tune with the market in Western Suburbs and the City. 9 months into the pandemic, we tasked Brian with finding us value in River Forest/Oak Park in a sellers market and in less then 3 months he delivered, finding us a house in River Forest in a fantastic location with great potential that had been overlooked by others because of the marketing/and high listing price on the sell side. Not only was he able to negotiate a great deal for us, but with deep connections to the community (and seemingly being one of the most liked people in town) he was able to introduce us to a number of local contractors who share the same values (honesty/transparency/commitment to quality) as he does to help us with some of the work we need to compete before moving in. His reviews online were why we cold called him. We couldn't have been happier with the experience. He is the real deal. Believe the hype!
If you’re looking to set roots amongst the stately oaks of River Forest, bow down to the king. Brian Behan is your man. There isn’t a soul in town you’d rather have at your back. He knows the market inside out. He knows the houses. He knows the contractors. Heck, he knows who was jamming on the drumset in the room above your garage in 1989. Brian is a tireless advocate for his clients. He’ll get you the best price on your sale. He’ll roll up his sleeves and drag your 40 ton dead elliptical down a 150 year old staircase to the curb. He’ll find you the house of your dreams before the neighbors even know the former owners are thinking of moving! Just sit back and let him take the reigns.
From the beginning, Brian went above and beyond to make sure we got the best deal possible. He was extremely responsive, professional and wonderful to work with. Whenever we needed anything, he had great resources and advice about any question we had. Not only did Brian help us buy our new home, but he helped us sell our home in Oak Park as well. Both transactions were incredibly smooth! I truly can’t recommend Brian enough for your buying and selling needs. He is a class act and the best of the best!
Brian is simply the best. He has an intimate handle on the market, what me as a client wants in a new home, and how to easily connect what I want to what’s available. He communicates efficiently and has an incredible network to tap into for any of your home purchase needs. He truly becomes your trusted buying advisor and I would recommend him to anyone who is the market to buy or sell their home. Thanks Brian!
After moving to the Chicago area from the East Coast in the middle of pandemic, we interviewed a number of local realtors to help us find our dream home in River Forest. One of them was Brian. We clicked immediately. Simply, Brian is a genuine guy. He took time to explain the geography of the town to us, the school system, all pros and cons. He is very knowledgeable and he truly loves this town. His passion and personal attachment to River Forest convinced us that we too should start our new chapter here. Brian thinks outside the box and he seeks solutions to every situation. He has lots of personal and professional relationships and he knows how to utilize them. He has an engaging and easygoing personality and nothing is ever an issue for him. We truly enjoyed the entire process of buying a house with Brian and we have already recommended him to many of our friends.
