Brian went above and beyond to represent my home and myself. Being that this was my first time a selling a home, I needed someone I could trust, rely on to put my best interest first. Brian delivered all three of these to the utmost quality and professionalism. This was the first and certainly not the last time I will have Brian represent me. Thank you for everything!

We used Brian Ivener as both a buyer's broker and a seller's broker. In both cases he was quick to respond to all requests and inquiries. We liked his low key patient approach and we would use him again in the greater Phoenix area.

Brian is a true real estate professional. From the moment he introduced himself until our properties sold, he was efficient, proficient, courteous, and supportive. He kept in touch with us as each real estate sale progressed and promptly returned our calls when we needed to talk with him. We never seemed to have had any questions or concerns as each property went up for sale. Our estate planner recommended Brian to us and we in turn can recommend him to anyone who has property that needs to be sold.

Living in Illinois and selling a home in fountain hills Arizona presented its challenges. The whole process was much easier than I anticipated. Through Brians excellent communication and timeliness I was able to walk through the whole process of home selling without any problems. The contacts Brian has for anything that needed to done to the home were valuable. Brian's work ethic proved to be irreplaceable in making the home selling process a smooth transition. My next real estate transition will certainly be with Brian Ivener

I used Brian to sell our previous home and buy our new home and could not be happier with his service and professionalism throughout the entire process. As a selling agent he was very timely in getting our property listed and marketed and throughout the negotiation process he was super efficient. As a buyers agent where can I begin. We looked at tons of homes and he was always willing to show us properties that we were interested in. After months of looking we finally found the perfect home for us and I could not have been happier with his efficiency throughout the closing process.
I would highly recommend Brian and will absolutely use him in the future if we ever have another real estate need.

I asked Brian to sell my house which was a little out of his usual territory (far East Mesa). Brian made it a flawless sale. My wife was out of the country so Brian found an attorney to write a power of attorney. Also found a title company that would honor that PoA. If you have a house to sell give Brian a call.

Brian helped us purchase our house when we moved to Arizona. We had a great experience, and we highly recommend Brian as a real estate professional. Being new to the area, we relied heavily on Brian's knowledge not only of the real estate market, but different locations that fit our family needs. He even pointed out things that we didn't think to ask, like traffic patterns and access to freeways. He was helpful in identifying house features and layouts that would be a fit or challenge with our needs.
Notably, we needed to act quickly to submit an offer on our house. Brian was immediately responsive and spent several hours with us running into late evening as we performed final walk-through and wrote an offer. Later, our mortgage broker and bank were failing to hit our deadline. Brian coached us through the situation and helped us work effectively with a new bank to close the deal on time. Brian was a knowledgable, professional, and calming partner through this high-stress process.

I hope Brian will be our realtor again some day when we need him. We were those clients that no realtor ever wants. Daily phone calls, constant questions, crying (on my part), viewing so many houses, and so many disagreements (between husband and wife, not with Brian) made us want to throw our hands in the air and say, "Forget it all." Yet, Brian stuck with us through and through. His patience was more than we ever deserved. Every question about selling our old house and buying the new was answered clearly with thorough explanations. He's very committed and personable, always listening to the clients needs before his own. Finally, when we were settled in our fun, family home in the most happy neighborhood he even helped us move a few more items with his own truck. Thank you Brian. I hope you get some great clients after us. Ha. Ha.

I was able to buy an investment property through Brian. He helped make it a fast and streamlined process, even when we ran into some obstacles due to some outside sources. With his follow up and professionalism, I can definitely recommend him for any future use!

As I type this recommendation for Brian Ivener I have the biggest smile on my face because having Brian help us buy/sell a total of 8 homes has been simple and well searched out while accomplishing our wants, dreams/needs as a young couple, young family to a family with many luxury asks. As you can imagine not an easy task but he did it with integrity and professionalism. I recommend Brian because he has found a way to keep us relaxed, interested, and always within budget. He has also helped us buy/sell rental properties and sell a family cabin. Although these deals are very different then a family home he did an outstanding job helping us purchase rental homes in the right locations to ultimately sell achieving financial gains. I believe with all that said he has two special areas for you as a future client to understand. He can help you find your needs while balancing many of your wants/wishes! For example our third house he helped us search out and finally purchase was the dream come true Home. It had everything a growing family hoped for and again was in budget. Brian also is a specialist in young family searches. He takes pride in knowing the surrounding area including recreational areas and especially schools! I would recommend Brian to family, friends and even strangers as he is excellent at a first purchase or selling the fifth one.

Brian changed our opinion of the real estate and home-buying/selling process. This was our third home to sell and fourth home to buy, and we have never experienced the ease, honesty and fairness on both sides of the equation until we met Brian Ivener.
Instead of the dread we experienced in past home-buying/selling, we were excited every step of the way. He served as an expert not only in guiding us how to prepare our 19-yr home, but updating and upgrading items that really matter to prospective homebuyers. His "spend some money upfront with quality maintenance and updates" to receive full, appropriate, valued offers paid off. His network of contractors to help us do this and his marketing efforts
and appropriate comp analysis and pricing strategy brought us two offers in the first10 days on the MLS!
This was imperative since he helped us find our new home the month before, and helped us with a winning bid strategy where we were selected as the winner of three competitive bids! As we scrambled to get funded for our forever home, he was supporting us on the back end with our lender and helping us to prepare our current home for sale! All the time, he kept us grounded in reality, set true expectations, kept our emotions to a minimum and overall perspective to a maximum so we could think straight and be reasonable with our seller (new home) and our buyers (old home). All this in just 6-8 weeks . . . In the Phoenix heat!
On top of everything, he gifted us with a homeowners warranty and facilitated all of this during COVID-19. We are fortunate to have him as a realtor and more importantly, a new friend. He is truly a consummate professional and expert within his field. We highly recommend him - IvenerRealEstate.com.

First time home buyer and looking to be between the 7s in central Phoenix without paying a ridiculous amount and Brian made it easy! We did not have the greatest seller and sellers agent to work with and he took all of the headache making everything for me as smooth as possible. He is professional, strong communicator, and treated the purchase as if it was himself investing. Having someone that has lived all his life in the valley helps ensure you are making you are looking in the right neighborhood and are at the right price. With my first purchase I did not have any connections with appraisal, title, warranty, etc Brian took care of these and I received the best, quality service from them as well. We put in offer day before thanksgiving and I spent Christmas in my new home. I love my new house and couldn’t have done it without Brian.

Brian has always been very helpful and has put in the time to help me and my family as we have looked for and purchased a few homes and have sold a few over the last 10 years. In addition if there are any opportunities available, Brian has easily gotten me the information and comparisons in the neighborhood.
I would highly recommend Brian for anyone needing a realtor.

Folks I have know Brian since he was a young boy. By the time Brian became a realtor I was in a position to start advancing in my life which meant purchasing and selling assets.
Brain has professionally handled everyone of my purchases or sells.
Since I am somewhat of a Bull in a china store. Brain seems to have the ability to keep me contained without me destroying the store.
His is relentless when it comes to buying and or selling for his clients.
My whole family is truly blessed to have had Brian Ivener in our life's.

I purchased my first home through Brian and now recently have had the pleasure of working with him again on the sale of that same home. On both ends of the spectrum Brian made the process so simple to understand and what felt so easy to go through. The journey to find my first home seemed like a long one but Brian patiently helped me look at and discuss the positives and negatives of what seemed like dozens of homes until we found the perfect one. The decision to than sale that home didn't come easy and there was only 1 person I felt comfortable turning to to help me through that process. Brian explained everything thoroughly throughout the process and negotiated me an amazing deal that I hadn't even been thinking possible to walk away with. He was there for me all the way through the final closing paperwork at the title company, to make sure I understood every document I was signing. He even touched base with me afterward when there was an issue at the title company to make sure I was being taken care of. Thank you Brian! I look forward to the next opportunity we'll have to work together!

With his vast experience in the real estate market, the sale of our house was seamless from start to finish and our house was sold in less than a week! It was a pleasure working with Brian and I would recommend him to any of my friends with confidence that he would do a great job for them.

Brian was incredibly helpful in helping us find a new home. Always on top of things, he did his research and knows the property values in and around our area. He also set aside lots of time and was available by phone and email, even if he was out of town. He also saw things in homes we would not have seen and gave us his honest opinion. Thanks so much!

It’s my immense pleasure to recommend Brian Ivener as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home for their unique situation. I was fairly comfortable in my small two-bedroom rental condo, where I lived for 12+ years, always nervous to venture into the idea of buying something of my own. Thanks to His patience - advice and ability to encourage without pushing, I am now in a great place with my Daughter, we can call 'our own'. It's an amazing feeling I promise.
Brian had an initial meeting with me and took diligent notes regarding my specific needs as well as my financial budgetary limitations. Brian is highly talented technologically and made excellent use of the relevant search engines and real estate databases to quickly find me a variety of homes for sale in the best school districts. His constant flexibility to my changing thoughts, ideas and neighborhoods exceeded any expectations. Never once did I feel like I was a “$” or a commission amount, I felt regarded and respected. Brian never wasted my time with homes that were out of my price range or not in line with my needs, in fact He was a reminder of how to stay ‘well within’ my reality of affordability not look what is outside of my bubble.
A master with the contract negotiations, Brian came up with a deal that was excellent for me and I think made the seller happy as well. This was despite sometimes my rash urgency of requesting offers that were not in my best interest. Brian kept my thoughts on track and purposeful, all the while not making me feel naïve, even though I totally was. Brian is a humble expert about metropolitan Phoenix/Scottsdale housing market trends. There was nothing that escaped Brian’s attention when it came to property for sale in this area, and how I could get the most
Brian is a highly attentive/honest/prudent/ethical agent, almost as if I was his only customer, although I know that was not the case. He returned all phone calls and emails the same day. I never felt neglected or unimportant. He is also highly personable with an engaging personality. Brian was honest about changes that I may have not considered to enhance my home closing, all advice worked like a charm.
I would recommend Brian Ivener to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is hands down the best in the in the business in my opinion and if I ever need to move again He will be my first choice and only choice.

Brian has worked with us for many years. He has bought and sold at least three properties for us. We have had amazing results whether we are buying or selling. We love him. He is honest, patient, hard working and an all-around great guy. We give him the highest recommendation with absolutely no reservations.

Brian is a consummate professional who routinely provided sound advice and expertise throughout the sale of my late mother's home.
He responded promptly any time of day across from opposite sides of the country and even from another continent during the holiday season.
This is my first home sale, and Brian made it as smooth as possible, providing a level of customer care that is hard to find these days.
Thanks Brian!

About Brian Ivener
I am a Phoenician. Born and raised in Glendale and Phoenix motivated my aspirations to attend the University of Arizona. During my sophomore year at the U of A, I was recruited by my friend’s father (a real estate developer) to go into real estate as he offered to be my mentor. So that year, I studied for, and attained my California real estate license, enabling me to do an internship for the following two summers working closely with my mentor at his Real Estate investment partnership in Redding, CA. Working with this partnership I honed my skills in subdividing and selling land, lots and homes. In 1992 I graduated with a B.A. in Marketing and a minor in International Marketing and subsequently moved to live and work in Redding. This was the start of my Real Estate career which spans over 30 years from 1990 to present. I moved back to Phoenix in early 2000 continuing my real estate career where the majority of my family and friends live. I am a home-owner and have renovated and completed permitted structures for resale...some homes for myself and clients as well. On a personal side, I am the youngest of three and an uncle who actively participates in the niece and nephews academic and sporting events. Who I am is this, I will never regret a minute given to help my family – sure I may regret my mishandling of some moments, but I will never regret having been present. I will never grieve money I didn’t make, time or talent that I could have spent elsewhere, or the experiences that got sidelined or sacrificed along the way. My mark is my loyalty; my legacy is the sincerity provided. Family is my first priority in life which has taught me lessons that lend to my current success with clients knowing how many factors and life changes result in residential relocation. It is sincerely my passion to find the perfect situation for each client that I am fortunate to interact and engage. Reality is that I won’t get everyone, however integrity mixed with a fair balanced approach has often won the race. I continue to represent buyers, sellers and investors. I have worked with many clients to accomplish their real estate goals and I get satisfaction when they are happy. Whether you’re buying a home (or second home), looking for your dream home, selling a home or just want to know more about Real Estate, you’ve come to the right place. I’m ready to serve you, educate you, and assist in all your real estate needs.Areas We Cover
