Brian FitzSimons
Real Estate has always been a fascination for me and the opportunity to serve as a Real Estate Broker in Edenton is one of my dreams come true. I love solving problems, and I love Real Estate, so whether I am helping you sell your existing home or find your next one, you can be sure that you will have the benefit of my life’s experience working for you. Not only that, but you will also have ‘The luck of the Irish’ working for you. Sometimes that little touch of magic will make all the difference. My name is Brian FitzSimons and I was born in Ireland, educated there and graduated from Queen’s University Belfast as a Mechanical Engineer. I joined the British branch of the Trane Company and spent the majority of my life involved in the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning business on both the supply and contracting side in England, Canada and Mexico. My various locations involved me in the purchase and sale of over 15 houses, so I have become quite familiar with the Real Estate business as a consumer and have developed strong opinions about what I want from a Real Estate agent. This experience will assure you that you will get good service from me. During our sojourn in Mexico, I was the Engineer/Architect for the construction of a 450 room hotel and a small condo project on the side. I also worked for ReMax for a period during the marketing of our condos. Moving North to San Diego, I was involved as a Design Engineer with a company making compressed air rockets, used as a rescue line throwing device. It was during one vacation that my wife and I decided to explore the East Coast and subsequently discovered Edenton. When circumstances occurred to leave us free to choose where to live, we decided to move to Edenton and here we are.
