“Brian Townley, with Paramount Realty represented me when having my new home built, as well as selling our home in the Villages at Twin Rivers. As my husband’s health declined, I relied heavily on his expertise, which he gave any time, day or night. It was never too early or too late for him to respond to my many, many questions. He was patient, kind, and usually knew the answer. When my husband died, Brian hand wrote the most touching note expressing sympathy and caring for someone he did not know. I read that note to this day. Brian is an amazing gentleman who just happens to have a passion for finding the right home for his clients because he CARES. He’s a friend, a confidant, and a blessing to anyone who has the pleasure of working with him. We have bought and sold many homes over the years in many different states and Brian is the best. He is the consummate representative for buying or selling a home.”

“As first-time sellers, we wanted to make sure we picked an agent that would represent us well, therefore we decided to go with Brian Townley after seeing how involved he was in our community and the fact that he was also recommended by many of our neighbors. He definitely did not disappoint! Brian walked us through every step of the process in great detail and answered all of our questions with a lot of patience. Brian served as our primary point of contact for any home related matters. He quickly got us in touch with any help we needed and always had highly reliable local vendors on speed dial for whatever needed to be taken care of in regard to making sure the house was ready for listing. We would hands down recommend Brian to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. He takes his time to listen to what you’re looking for and works tirelessly to make sure he delivers on his promise. He goes above and beyond and treats all of his clients with the utmost respect.”
-Zeeshan & Alisha Surani
“Brian Townley was recommended to us by a mutual friend, and we are so glad that he was for our move into Texas. Brian worked with us step by step in our home selection and purchasing process with expert knowledge and timely, diligent, and thoughtful words of guidance and encouragement. His wisdom gained from experience both in real estate and banking was evident as he led successful negotiations. He was a steady anchor, acting with integrity, humility, competence, and kindness, as he truly practices what he teaches in his excellent book, ‘RIPPLeFFECT: Leading by the Core’. We look forward to continuing our relationship with him now as a friend.”
-Scott and Laura Semrau
“Any time we’ve sold a house, we interview multiple realtors in order to find the right “fit”. We’ve never come across a realtor who is adept, has an extensive professional and trades contact list, devotes the right amount of attention to the correct details, is professional without being stodgy and willing to lend a hand as a friend…..that is, until we met Brian. He is unmatched yet humble and will be the standard all future realtors will be compared against”.
– Jason & Jennifer Wiehrdt
“We recently moved to Waco from Keizer, Oregon. At the beginning of our relocation process we were referred, by a friend, to Brian Townley with Paramount Realty. From the very first day we wanted to view a home online, Brian was on it. He made an appointment and gave a great video tour of the home. From that day forward Brian went completely above and beyond his responsibilities as our agent. Since we were not familiar with Texas, Brian became our “go to” answer man. He was so instrumental in our transition to Texas; he helped with financing recommendations, getting the home ready for our arrival, suggestions for local tradesmen and everything in-between. Brian is the best and we would recommend him to all that are interested in buying a home in the Waco, Texas area.”
–Steve and Maridel Armstrong
“I contacted Brian Townley to sell my home in Hidden Valley and could not have been more pleased with that choice. While selling can be a very stressful process, I felt 110% confident with Brian. He was candid, provided great feedback, helped clearly explain all details and managed the actual sale negotiation brilliantly. In addition, he was extremely responsive to every one of my questions, no matter how small. After selling and moving forward to BUY my next home, I was certain Brian would be the right agent to help me navigate this process, as well. He was just as aggressive and excited about finding my new property as he was with selling my other. It was truly a pleasure to work with Brian – I’ve found that he keeps his client’s best interests in sharp focus, and you can always trust that he is on top of every detail, big and small, which brought great peace of mind. Without doubt, I would seek him out immediately for any upcoming real estate transaction in the future.”

“We met Brian Townley when we were looking for a home in the Villages at Twin Rivers. We eventually bought a new home in Twin Rivers and love it. We now consider Brian as one of our good friends and a wonderful neighbor. My wife and I have purchased over 12 homes in the 28 years we have been married. We feel that Brian is the best Real Estate Agent we have used and highly recommend that you hire him.”
– Charles and Becky Thompson
“During a nearly 30-year career as a local television sportscaster, I lived and dealt with realtors in six different cities around the country. I’ve bought and sold probably a dozen homes over the years and have dealt with dozens of realtors. Of all the realtors I’ve EVER dealt with, Brian Townley gets the gold medal. It’s not even close. His combination of intelligence, compassion, unfailing optimism, work ethic & local knowledge and contacts, are simply unmatched in my experience. I am a demanding person and Brian went above and beyond in surpassing all my expectations. He truly CARES and he ALWAYS returned my calls and texts, ASAP. I have tremendous respect for him both as a person and a professional. I am not easily impressed, and I don’t make a practice of recommending people to others. But I’m making an exception in this case. Brian is simply the “GOLD standard,” when it comes to realtors in Central Texas.”
– Ed Sorensen
“We were very fortunate to have met Brian when we moved to Waco. As our realtor, he helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. The best part about working with Brian was no matter what time of day or night it was, if we had a question, he would respond. We would recommend him and his team at Paramount Realty & Management for anyone who is looking to buy or sell a new home.”

“I have a unique family, so it stands to reason that I had to find a unique Realtor, who would listen and more importantly, care. Brian Townley is very knowledgeable, friendly, and he truly cared about my family and our needs. He continued to search – even when I was ready to give up. He found my house and knew even before I saw it that it was the one. He was right. I am thankful every day that I made the right choice in a home, a realtor and more notably, a new lifelong friend”.

“Last year we found ourselves needing to sell my mother’s home so she could relocate to an assistant living facility. Although we already had a buyer, I asked Brian for advice, and he took us on as clients. Our situation was far from normal, but Brian made the process much smoother than we thought it would be. My elderly mother was very uneasy and had many questions. However, Brian was very patient, willing to answer any question and put her at ease. Although our situation was different than most, he treated us as though our situation was just as important as any others and assisted in maintaining my mother’s dignity. I couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor.”
– Sue Lynn Adams

He was always available to answer questions and help guide us by giving us the most up to date information we needed to find the perfect property. If you are looking for a realtor who is kind, a great communicator, diligent and very knowledgeable, then Brian is your man!”
