Ratings & Reviews

The Davison Family of Ellicott City

Brian Pakulla came highly recommended to me – I was not disappointed! I was impressed by Brian’s integrity, advantageous advice and suggestions before listing my property. His diligence and superb marketing skills were evident by the remarkable debut listing – multiple lucrative offers within just a few days! It was genuinely a satisfactory and rewarding real estate experience – I can’t say highly enough of my experience with Brian Pakulla!

The Radchenko Family of Ellicott City

I had a great experience working with Brian. He exceeded my expectations.

The Hinc Family of Ellicott City

We were very impressed with everything you told us about yourself and the work you do to help sellers. In fact, we were so impressed that we didn’t really expect for you to reach the high bar that you set for yourself. While working with you, we quickly learned that you are a person of high integrity and you reached that high bar. Also, we want to emphasize how much we appreciated and respected your assistant, Kristin Ostlie. She was nothing short of sensational in her role. The experience we had with you and Kristin was the best of all. If we hear of anyone looking for a real estate agent, we will recommend you with pleasure and highest remarks.

The Schaefer Family of Ellicott City

Easiest property transaction ever for us. Everything unfolded without a hitch. We would use Brian again and recommend him to others.

The Benner Family of Ellicott City

Brian was great. I panicked a couple of times with things and he kept me calm.
