Work with us

  • My fiancée and I had worked with a few Realtors® in the past, but truly never received or experienced the level of responsiveness, patience, and professionalism that we did with Brendan.

    SHALINI

  • Brendan did an amazing job for us. This was a co-owned condo, gifted to us by a relative, so a bit more complex. Brendan had to deal with three parties living in three different places, and handled all of the details for us quickly and seamlessly, including staging the condo beautifully!

  • Brendan was really great to work with. My fiancée and I were house hunting in East Bay since rents are skyrocket high in SF, and Brendan came recommended from my fiancée's co-worker.

  • I worked with Brendan last year to buy an investment condo in Walnut Creek. I was coming out of a very difficult sell side, and Brendan made the buy side very easy.

    BILL G.
