Don is a long time resident of the area and knows the schools and neighborhoods . I had set my search limit at $500k and was trying to buy a house in a neighborhood that i liked very much. It turned out that the sell of the house that i had written a contract on had not disclosed that they had a third mortgage on the home. while this was being discovered don went driving around the neighborhood and found a house that was just above my search limit. Don was able to negotiate a deal and get the house within my budget.If don had not gone out driving around ,I would have never seen that listing.

 I hired Don to represent me on the sale of a new home. The contract was over 40 pages and was a maze with many pitfalls. Don was able to go over and explain every paragraph to make sure we knew exactly what we were getting into. Things went smoothly for the most part but some big issues did come up that Don was able to resolve with multiple solutions. I wouldn't think of using any one else for my real estate related activities.

 We have known Don since 2005 when we sold our home in the Mount Vernon area using Don as our agent.
He is from the area, and knows all the ins and outs of his profession. There is no one better at handling all the details from start to finish. From listing, showing, negotiating, and closing, Don is the only person that we would ever trust to get the job done!
Thank you, Don!!

 Don was my agent when I purchased my first home which was a foreclosure. Several days before settlement it was discovered the bank had put the wrong legal description in the auction notice creating a major title issue. The upside was the property was appreciating rapidly but the bank tried to use the title issue to get out of the contract so they could sell the property at a higher price. He fought for me! It was a frustrating experience and a lot of hard negotiating back and forth on his end but in the end it was worth it when I finally settled at the original contract price which was well under the market with the title issue resolved. I believe that his expert knowledge and experience got me the home I wanted at the price I would afford. I couldn't have done it without him.

 We first met Don as a loan officer when he was referred to us by a friend to refinance our condominium. We did several refinances with him subsequently and decided to use him as our real estate broker when we moved. The property we liked and decided to buy looked nice but there were unforeseen problems. Don discovered a bathroom and a fireplace had not been permitted and both had big problems. We were able to negotiate the price downwards so we could correct these problems after we closed and with the money we saved. We could have lost thousands.

 We used Don's services a couple of times and the word Excellence comes to mind in the services he provides. I would highly recommend Don's services should you need a relator or a mortgage, very impressive, saved us a ton of money on our mortgage and found us the right home at the right price! If you are looking to sell or a home or mortgage, then look no further as Don Brue (one stop shopping)!

 We worked with Don to sell our townhouse and it was seamless from the start. Don is an honest, stand-up guy who put my husband and I at ease with the whole process. He answered all of our questions, gave some suggestions, but was never once pushy. He saw the whole process through from start to finish, and made the entire selling experience painless. He has seen a thing or two with all of his years of experience, so we felt comfortable with him in charge behind the scenes. Would use him again for any future home buying or selling needs.

 Don's professionalism and experience were key in negotiating through unusual and unforeseen circumstances encountered during our home buying process. His knowledge of the market was instrumental in getting us an unbelievably low interest rate on our mortgage- all the other mortgage companies couldn’t touch the rate Don got for us. Don also sold our previous home in one day with multiple offers all well above market. Don made himself available 24 / 7 throughout the buying and selling process. Don is one of those rare characters that embodies honesty and integrity. Don really does live by “say what you do... Do what you say”.

 Don recently helped get us a great deal on refinancing our residence. He made it so fast and easy that we didn't forget his offer to help us if we ever we needed a real estate agent.
The time came again where we needed real estate help, so I contacted Don Bruce because he gets things done. With his help we ended up getting the property we were interested in and we couldn't be more pleased.
Thanks Don we appreciate your service,
The Muller Family

 Don did an absolutely terrific job in helping me buy my new home and sell my old home - all in less than three months. He was always available, day or night. He kept me informed throughout the process. He ensured the paperwork and process ran smoothly. Provided great assistance in getting my VA eligibility approved in record time. It was a great experience and it was apparent that he knew the market, the real estate processes, and he was willing to work late to ensure the paperwork and final numbers were correct. All in all I would definitely give him 5 plus stars and highly recommend him to any prospective buyer or seller.
