    After working with three other agents around the Bay Area, I was fortunate enough to meet Brett. Since day 1, Brett has asked all the right questions to gauge my style and preference.

  • What our clients say

    I just did my home sales as part of my relocation package. Brett was assigned by the relocation company. I interviewed 3 and made Brett my choice. It turned out to be great. Brett has clear thoughts and is very organized. He stepped out of his responsibility to help me with the logistics, all the way to the end to book a cleaner for move-out cleaning. That is a big relief for our family during the busy relocation. Brett showed his great experi...

He explained the dynamics of the Peninsula real estate market and educated me on how to determine the value of the houses I was looking at. I recently completed a purchase that was handled by Brett. It was a short sale and took over 6 months to complete. I honestly believ...

  • What our clients say

    When I met Brett he seemed polite, energetic, and helpful. I was a little worried because I am a first-time buyer and Brett appeared young. Brett went above and beyond in answering my questions.
