A bit of a late review, but Brad is one of the best realtors around! We had been talking to a few realtors, but Brad was one of the few who would give us his honest opinion on houses we were touring, rather than trying to sell the place up in order to make a quick buck. He was transparent throughout the process, and was always communicative and replied speedily. Off of these things alone, I would recommend Brad, but he also gives you back half of his commission. You essentially get back a ~1.25% rebate on the price of your home.

Cannot recommend Brad more!

I would give Brad more than 5 stars if I could. We engaged Brad to sell our home and he was able to provide the best pricing/timing. He was good mediator on our behalf and gave us the best recommendations on marketing the property. He also represented us professionally, speaking with buyers, fought for the best pricing, and closed the deal within a short timeframe. As a veteran in this business, Brad knows the nuances of the transaction and creates actual monetary value to the negotiation process. We will use him again if we are to sell another home.

We loved loved working with Brad.I was looking for a real estate agent to buy our very first house.We did work with another agent first who was rated 5 star.But she absulelty did not spen time with use and wasted our time and money.Then I had to find another agent where I found Brad here in yelp again..He is a very honet guy who knows the area very well.I dont know why anyone would wanna work with anyone else other than Brad.He also tell you if the house is not good so you don't investigate your money on a bad house.If you need further info,pls reach out to me

My fianc and I recently purchased our first home and was so lucky to have been recommended to work with Brad by my brother (who previously purchased his home with Brad, too)! Brad is so friendly and helpful! He was very easy to work with and was very responsive via phone/text. What I loved most was that he honest and steered us away from a few properties that would not have been good fits for us! You can tell that Brad is not only there to make the sale but really cares about helping you to buy a good property! We also received a huge rebate after our purchase which was extremely helpful, too

Brad was an invaluable help to my wife and I who had no prior experience buying a house. A friend recommended his services and we had a great experience during the search, negotiation and closing phases. Brad gave us the benefit of his extensive real estate experience in the cities we were interested (Brea, Placentia, Fullerton, Yorba Linda, Anaheim Hills) and was not shy about giving his unvarnished opinion on the properties we saw. He was available at short notice to check out the 15+ properties we ended up seeing. What is more, it was nice to get a refund of 1% of the purchase price from Brad

Brad is great! He will advise you on good and bad properties, and if that's not enough he'll give you cash back for buying a property!

Top real estate agent!!! Brad is the best out there in Socal. He's different from the bunch of agents I came across and talked to. He's the man of his word and he helped me for long time and was very patient in out first home purchase process. He responds promptly and explains things very well, and most importantly he gave a huge buyer's rebate back for our purchase. Thank you, Brad!!!
