INTEGRITY. PROFESSIONALISM. TRUST.

Your Trusted Partner in Real Estate.

I'm Brian Tanaka, Designated Managing Broker of Tanaka Real Estate in Normal, Illinois. Born and raised in Bloomington, I've worked in real estate full time since 2018. I'm here to help you throughout your entire home buying and selling process. Trying to do it all on your own can be burdensome. I'll find you homes within your price range, help you find buyers, assist you with paperwork, and more. My dedication to exceptional client service does not cease with the completion of the sale. I pride myself on providing continued client satisfaction long after the initial transaction as I continue to serve your best interest. In an ever-changing market, I know that it is imperative that both buyers and sellers are consistently provided the most up-to-date information necessary to make the most accurate of decisions.

MARKET EXPERTISE

Market knowledge goes beyond knowing the neighborhoods. Ask me about recent sales, commute times, or what homes in the area you have in mind are selling for.

CLIENT-FOCUSED

Your time is valuable. That's why I take time up front to understand what you want, what you need and what you'd rather avoid, so every showing and conversation is productive.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Ryan N.

Brian is the real deal! He gives straightforward advice, never pushes, and knows the Bloomington-Normal market well. His background in rentals and investment properties means he catches things most agents miss. Highly recommend having that conversation with him when you are looking to buy or sell!

Brian was exceptional to work with. Went above and beyond to help my wife and I find the perfect home. Very knowledgeable and good at what he does.

Cathy B.

We have never lived outside of Iowa and moving to a new state was a HUGE event and definitely could have been super stressful and scary but we were SOO lucky to have Brian. He was always just a phone call or text away and so prompt with responses.
