Brian Garrett

Brian gets our highest recommendation as a buyer’s agent.
He is truly a professional. We had many requirements/​constraints (ultimately took us over 15 months to find our dream home), but Brian understood them immediately and never pushed us towards something that we couldn’t afford, just to close a deal. His knowledge of build quality, permitting, TIC financing and contracting, not only impressed us, but the seller’s agent as well, which made our offer stronger. Finally, we value that Brian really cares — even after our purchase he is still asking about us, and is available and highly responsive for questions. You will be lucky to have Brian on your side.

Everyone knows it’s a tough market in SF right now, and you really need the best people on your team to manage the process — anything less is a doing yourself a disservice. I would highly recommend Brian. He is patient, very well informed, and held in high regard in the business. First offer on the first house and we got the deal done.

We met Brian and his associate Joseph Hittinger at an open house. Even though we were working with another realtor at the time, we moved our business to Brian and Joseph. Why? He was responsive, professional, knowledgeable, well connected and all of the things you expect from a real estate professional. But the big difference was that he took the time to really understand what was important to us and why and was able to balance the demands of an insanely competitive market with our financial and emotional needs. We now live in a great place in a great location with great neighbors and quite simply could not have gotten here without Brian. Oh, and we actually managed to have fun along the way!
Go with Brian, you won’t be sorry.

Brian is awesome! He was my agent in the recent purchase of a house in San Francisco. I am absolutely satisfied with Brian’s results. Brian is dependable, honest, professional and courteous.
Brian’s knowledge of San Francisco neighborhoods and the surrounding area is impeccable. I completely recommend Brian as an agent. I would definitely use Brian again in the future to sell or buy my next home!

Brian recently sold our condo in the mission. We could not have been happier with the level of service he provided us. During our first meeting we set up a plan for our sale and then Brian went into action, calling other agents, creating a web site, putting up a custom sign and executing the sale perfectly.
He completely understands the local Mission market. His ability to navigate both our expectations and that of the buyers makes him a step above the rest and allowed our sale to go through without drama. He kept us informed throughout the process and we used docusign to sign documents through our phones-​so easy.
Brian is honest, realistic, easy to work with and professional.
We will definitely use Brian again for our real estate needs.

Let’s start with the result and ignore the journey for just a moment — I now live in a dreamy, recent construction, well-​built, exquisitely located, serene, spacious and light-​filled condo. The price I paid was fair, the close was painless and there was no drama. My neighbors are great and I wake each day happier than the last and I owe it to my agent Brian Garrett. Thank you!
I started looking in earnest six months ago in the midst of yet another white-​hot real estate market where multiple bids were countered and prices for the most ridiculous dumps were dizzyingly & stupidly high. Brian helped me navigate the treacherous waters of buying a new place in San Francisco — he was calm, as patient as a saint, and, moreover, respectful of my complicated array of requirements.
Most of all, in the most absurd situations (of which there were many), he kept me laughing with his great sense of humor, warm and reassuring personality all backed by his consummate professionalism. Use Brian, find a great home and retain your sanity along the way.

Brian was the most honest and caring agent we have ever worked with. His professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond make him a truly one of a kind and remarkable real estate professional.
He truly cares about his clients and that is very rare these days. We would definitely work with him the next time we need to buy a bigger place.
Thanks Brian again for helping us find our beautiful loft.

My beloved and I recently asked Brian to represent us in the purchase of a house in the northern California countryside. It is the house of my dreams, but it, and the transaction, were not without their quirks. In retrospect, I cannot imagine going through this experience without Brian. He has proven to us to be the consummate professional. As an agent, his knowledge is unimpeachable. He has been a successful negotiator and has kept us informed every step of the way. He is tenacious without being heavy-​handed. He has worked so hard for us that I’ve felt through the entire process as if we were his only clients. He has helped me to focus when I was a nervous wreck. He has shared our enthusiasm and has a good eye for things aesthetic and practical.
I am giving Brian five stars only because Unilocal won’t let me give fifty. Brian gets my highest recommendation and my undying gratitude.
