"What sets Braver apart from the rest of the financial services industry is that Braver lives up to its promise of providing excellent customer service. I began my relationship with Patrick Riley many years ago, and today, even though he has become President and CEO, Patrick is still the person I count on to be just a phone call away. Braver is truly a partner in my business. As a result of Patrick's extensive knowledge of the real estate industry and his effective accounting and tax planning strategies, Braver has played a key role in Intercontinental's success."
