Description
What is Brian’s favorite thing about being a realtor? He explains, “Making a difference in the lives of others. There’s no greater feeling than to know I’ve helped someone realize their dreams. There’s a deep sense of satisfaction and fulfillment that comes with it. If I could add a second favorite thing, it would be Relationships. I’m blessed to call many of my clients, “friends.” I love when a relationship blossoms from business to friendship. It’s a beautiful thing!” That’s why nearly 90% of Brian’s business is repeat and referrals from friends, clients & colleagues across the globe.
Originally licensed in California in 1989, Brian moved to Breckenridge, Colorado in 1992. He became a Broker in 1994 and established his own independent firm. After 12 years as a Broker/Owner in the Rockies, he decided to move to a less snowy location, and did a complete 180º landing in the desert. He’s been with Sotheby’s International Realty since 2008.
Brian’s expertise extends to all genres of Las Vegas residential real estate. From luxury estates in Summerlin & Henderson to high rise condos on the Strip, and everything in between. He adds, “I help my clients with the next chapter of their lives, regardless of the type of property they’re buying or selling. Luxury isn’t a price point, it’s a level of service. My focus is on the relationship.”
Aside from work, Brian enjoys being outdoors in nature. “Hiking, golfing, snowboarding and wakeboarding are among my favorite activities. And I truly enjoy all the fun Las Vegas has to offer…shows, concerts, amazing restaurants and more.” Brian lives in Summerlin with his wife, Nancy, and their american bulldog, Ruby.

Testimonials
Brian Burns is the consummate professional. He brokered the sale of our house and the purchase of our new house, all in a matter of days. We were kept in constant contact with Brian who provided all relevant details related to these transactions. He was with us every step of the way, and we would highly recommend him to anyone seeking the real estate services of a dedicated, knowledgeable professional. Thank you Brian!
We first purchased a home using Brian Burns back in 2012. First, let me say that the one word that comes to mind regarding Brian is RESPONSIVE. Brian is always there to assist regardless of the matter. We waited 8 months to close on that short sale home and Brian was there every step of the way with progress updates and frustration calming advise. We sold that home five years later using Brian. Again, Brian delivered a stellar seller's agent performance. He then recommended an agent in Plano, TX for us to use when we purchased there. Again, an agent recommendation when we sold that home 2 years later and moved back to LV where Brian found us another great home. In June, 2023 Brian listed that home and sold it for a record setting $23 per square foot higher than any home sold in that subdivision. Truly a superb accomplishment!
Brian, thank you for your outstanding work, for your honesty and direct approach and your spot-on recommendations. We highly recommend using Brian for any of your real estate needs. Just call and he will respond.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Brian Burns for the successful sale of our home in Henderson. We originally listed our home with a prominent real estate agency who specifically dealt with our community. However after 6 months on the market with little to no interest I began the search for a new Listing Agent.
Without hesitation, Brian was referred to us as being “the best in the business.” My husband immediately contacted Brian and signed with Sotheby’s when our previous contract ended. Please know that Brian put forth every available marketing resource possible and immediately we had numerous showings, one of which led to a cash offer from an out of state buyer with an almost immediate closing!
Brian Burns, by far, is the best in the business. Brian is a tenured professional with excellent communication skills, negotiation skills and knows his clients, listens to them, and his skills strongly come forth with every decision made. We want to sincerely thank Brian Burns and Sotheby’s for the successful listing, sale and closing of our home.
Brian is an amazing realtor. He was honest and upfront, helping us make the best decision. After the closing, he's continued to show up helping us with anything we needed. I'm blown away by his commitment to us as clients. I highly recommend hiring him, you won't be disappointed!
A Realtor who listens and delivers! We're new to Las Vegas and didn't know where to start. A neighbor referred Brian and we're so glad they did! He was responsive, he listened, he asked questions. Within 24 hours of giving our specs, we were reviewing over 20 homes online, scheduling showings for the weekend, and giving an offer that Monday. Brian was our advocate throughout the process. He knows Vegas well and is someone we consider a friend from now on. You will not regret calling!
Brian came highly recommended by trusted sources, thanks to his proven track record of matching aspiring buyers with their perfect homes.
From the start, my case was a challenge due to my business travels. Brian and I initiated the whole process remotely. From the get-go, Brian asked all the right questions, and applied his understanding of the local real estate market, communities and neighborhoods to meet my needs [and accommodate my extensive wish list]. **
Through my virtual and in-person interactions with Brian, I quickly came to trust him, his instincts, and his ability to channel my tastes and needs when it came to finding the perfect house.
Once we identified the winner, Brian made the process of putting in the offer and closing the sale seamless. His kindness, white glove client service, expertise and patience are only a few of the qualities that make Brian the perfect real estate partner for anyone looking to buy a home in the Las Vegas area.
We just bought our home and also sold my brother’s house in Las Vegas within a month of each other. We had the pleasure to work with our realtor, Brian Burns, who handled both. Brian kept us updated during the whole process. He is very knowledgeable and walked us through each step. As the clients, we trusted him and knew he was always doing things in our best interest. He made what could have been a stressful and difficult process as seamless as could be. He cares passionately about his job. I would strongly recommend him!
Brian helped us sell our home remotely including overseeing the repairs and upgrades necessary for the sale. He has good eye for design and detail. You can leave the work up to him.
Brian recently sold our house in Las Vegas. During the entire process he made things easy. Before our house was listed, he came out to tell us what needed to be done to make the house look its best. Following his advice helped our house look amazing and got us a higher price for our home. He worked around our schedule for showings and helped guide us to make sure we accepted the right offer. I highly recommend Brian, he will make the process go smoothly!
Working with Brian Burns to purchase a house in Las Vegas from our home in Los Angeles was a wonderful experience from start to finish!
He is deeply knowledgeable about the Las Vegas housing market. We explained to him what we were looking for and he chose only the areas that would be suitable for us.
Brian sent us numerous properties to contemplate. When we liked one, he went to the house and provided a video tour with commentary to show us details. It was like we were there doing a walk through with him. He also pointed out things that could be a red flag. He was patient and really wanted to make us happy with our purchase, not pushy at all. Also, he was very responsive to calls or emails. This is the second time we bought a house with him; six years from the first. We found him to be the same honest and helpful Realtor.
Brian is awesome! He helped us buy our first home in Las Vegas and two years later helped us sell it! Brian is super professional, honest, and also very personable. When we sold with Brian, he gave us excellent guidance in getting the house prepped to sell quickly, with an easy transaction. And our house sold for well over the listed price! He was always looking out for our best interest, both as a buying and a selling agent. If we are ever in need of a house in Las Vegas again we will be talking to him for sure!
If you are looking for Real Estate in Las Vegas, Brian Burns should be your Real Estate Advisor. We just closed on our second property in Vegas and could not be more pleased. He has assisted us and many of our friends and relatives in finding the right place @ the right price over the years. You could not find a realtor more attentive to your needs. He really listens and follows up on all your concerns. He smooths out rough patches in the process and keeps you constantly updated. Not all Real Estate purchases are the same, but you can count on Brian. He will not let you down. Give him a call, you won't be disappointed!
Brian was a pleasure to work with. His knowledge and expertise were so helpful in guiding us through all of the decisions that come with buying a home. He did everything he could to make this effortless on our part. We highly recommend him for any sales or purchases you are in need of. He is extremely responsive and is excellent at follow up. This couldn't have worked out better! We love our new place. Thank you Brian for all of your patience and assistance!
Just closed on a second property that Brian helped me find in Las Vegas. This one was an investment property, the prior property is a vacation home. Brian was easy to work with and had great communication on status, progress, etc. He set up the home inspection, which was super helpful, since I was out of town for both purchases. I highly recommend Brian!
