**Attention** - anyone looking for the most thorough, intelligent, thoughtful, mindful, attentive, kind yet assertive, gentle yet firm...best real estate agent in California? Look no further. This man gets the job done and he does it right the first time. I've worked with many agents and Brent was a breath of fresh air. He truly cares about what you want and need. And even after the sale he is still there for you with all the little things that need dealing with. Very much looking forward to working with him more in the future. I cannot recommend Brent enough.

I wholeheartedly recommend Brent - he will deliver the results you want (even if you dont know what they are yet) with the very least amount of stress to you. Brent holds two qualities critical in an agent - trust and integrity. These two qualities combined with his unrivalled knowledge of the South Bay made him the perfect agent for us. Brent is extremely strategic - knowing what measures and tactics are required across various situations. Every recommendation was thoughtful and deliberate without being pushy and respecting our own wishes. We faced a fair few roadblocks so our purchasing process was not smooth but it was stress free and we truly believe thats owing to Brent; he would research multiple solutions before presenting us with a blocker and always gave us the perspective we needed to make decisions grounded in data and not emotion. If youre relocating to the South Bay, Brent is the perfect agent; he knows the area intimately, including specific planning requirements across the various cities, and will connect you with the various service providers youll need once you purchase. He has been a trusted partner who consistently goes over and above and were so thankful we found him. For those relocating, Brent spent an entire week with us viewing properties and exploring neighbourhoods to hone in on our objectives - we joked about him having a background in psychology because hes an expert at unearthing what his clients really want. He is local which meant he was able to view properties as soon as they popped up and always provided detailed inspections of properties we couldnt fly down to see. There was no detail he missed. He always had a strategy for every action we had to take and we came to learn quickly that his strategies were not only based on delivering the best outcomes for us but also grounded in values we share. When it came to submitting offers, he was respectful of our time and knew when it was necessary to fly down and when it wasnt - he did a ton for us because we just werent there for closing. When youre relocating, you need an agent that can look around corners, anticipating what roadblocks you may face next. Brent does that by making data driven decisions

We worked with Brent and bought a house in Hermosa Beach in March of 2022. This is during the all-time-high of a crazy real estate market. Everything we know and learned about real estate has been tossed out the window. We interviewed several agents before we committed to buying a house, since having the right agent will be the key in this market. Brent was the most responsive, patient and knowledgeable among the few that we interviewed. And he continued to be so during the whole process. He's always available to show us houses, and before every bid (we made a total of 6 bids during the process) we would go over the comps, project what other bids could come in, and decide on the bid strategy. He's also very proactive with information gathering to see what the seller is looking for beforehand so we can incorporate that in the bid. Also having a wide set of clients and connections is very helpful for us as well, since he will have a better pulse on the general market direction.We've bought and sold lots of properties in the past. Hated every single agent that we dealt with. Brent is the sole exception, I would work with him in the future and would recommend him to all my friends and family.

As a first time seller, Brent patiently worked with us for over a year in trying to find the right time to sell our house in the South Bay. He guided us through the process, answering all of our MANY questions. Add to that the fact that we were selling while living out of state and doing a 1031 exchange, and we couldn't have asked for more from Brent. We found Brent to be knowledgeable and resourceful in every aspect of the process. If we were to buy another house in the South Bay, we would be coming back to Brent!

We worked with Brent for over a year to find our dream home. He exceeded all expectations by providing his real estate expertise, knowledge of the different locations we were interest in, and provided offer creativity. We are proud to say that we have been in our new house for a week now & we couldn't be happier! He was also able to find a home in Palos Verdes for our good friends. Brent is a true professional and I can't say enough good things about him.

We could not have been happier working with Brent. The home buying process is very daunting - especially for first time homebuyers. He ushered us through in a way that made us feel confident and comfortable from start to finish. We were looking for someone who lived and breathed the real-estate world; it wasnt his/her hobby or past time - it was their profession. Thats Brent. We also wanted to make sure our agent was trying to find the home that was right for us, not make a sale. We were constantly reassured that it takes as long as it takes and that hes on our timeline. He also helped us to stay grounded and protect us from falling in love with the wrong home. When it comes the the seller - Brent is a strategist. He has been doing this a long time and knows how to instruct you on the offer based on information shared by the selling agent. At the end of the whole experience, we made a friend and one day well call him to help us sell the home he just helped us buy. Let him do the same for you.

You wont be disappointed if you choose , Brent. We interviewed half a dozen agents. We selected Brent for his straight forward, honest no fuss, easy going, can do attitude. Brent used his knowledge of South Bay Area and negotiation prowess to earn us $162k over asking. Backed with the Remax name, you cant go wrong with Brent!

I dont usually write reviews, but felt compelled to do so in this instance because Brent is that good. Hes an unbelievable agent that breaks the mold, and I genuinely cant recommend him highly enough. Brent went above and beyond to help my wife and me navigate this crazy housing market to find our dream home. One of the traits I appreciate most about Brent is how was responsive he is. He will always pick up your phone call or answer your text. Hes also relentless, calling other agents and stakeholders to make sure the ball is always moving forward, which I think is a critical trait to find success in this market. He knows how to write and present an offer that stands out from pack, and is an expert with deep experience with every stage of the process, from offer to closing. Brent made this crazy process not only manageable, but enjoyable. You read the correctly, ENJOYABLE!

Brent is a very knowledgeable and consummate professional. I highly recommend him if you are looking to buy a property. This is an extremely difficult housing market, but Brent has a way of keeping you calm, and always explains the ins and outs of the process. He is very patient, and always tries to be available, whether its during the week, or weekend. I cannot thank him enough for helping us buy our first home!
