Brian McCarthy

Brian was instrumental in helping us find a place - the process took years on and off as I was casually looking. I always appreciated his availability, advice as well as having my best interest at heart.

I would recommend him for his extensive knowledge but also willingness to really get to know the buyer before moving forward with a purchase.

When it came to closing, everything went as smooth as it could have, given that Brian has so much local experience and know how long things take/how difficult a process can be.

We had an excellent experience working with Brian to sell our property. He was incredibly responsive, creative in helping us navigate and close the deal, and consistently went above and beyond. He also built great rapport with both the tenants and the property manager, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly, highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate agent.

Brian was my advocate and partner throughout the home buying process. For my lifetime's largest purchase, it was such a boon to have someone who was patient, knowledgeable, and proactive. We looked at a ton of homes over many months, and he kept fighting the good fight. During negotiations, through the escrow process, and the final walk-throughs, Brian was my champion. His knowledge of what to address and how to address the items that were on the disclosures was invaluable. Step-by-step, in every element, Brian coached and advocated, explaining elements to reassure me. Could not ask for better. Thank you, Brian!

Where to even start with what an amazing realtor Brian is?! Our story starts with randomly stopping in an open house on a whim, convinced Bay Area home ownership was out of reach. Brian immediately stood out as down to earth, supportive, and so, so knowledgable. He was so incredibly patient with us navigating a housing market that we felt just on the cusp of being able to afford. We knew we were looking for a needle in a haystack, wanting a home that needed some work, but not enough that we couldn't live in it, plus space for our kids (in their existing school district), a home office, and an art studio. We searched for nearly two years, with many starts and stops, but never once did we feel pressured or rushed to settle. In fact, just the opposite! When we started feeling like we might need to settle, Brian was transparent about the cons of houses that would require more work than we were up for. When we did find our dream house, there was much work to be done, and he helped us understand what repairs were needed, relative costs, and he put us in contact with a myriad of professionals. He has been with us every step of the way, connecting us to other amazing people, and has continued to support us long after we closed. In a sea of real estate professionals in the Bay Area, I feel incredibly lucky that we found Brian. If you are looking for a realtor I cannot recommend Brian enough. It sounds like hyperbole to say that he changed our lives, but it's true. Without him, and his DEEP knowledge and expertise, we wouldn't have ended up in our dream home.

I cannot recommend Brian highly enough! He is warm, personable, and incredibly easy to connect with—truly someone you feel comfortable trusting from the very first conversation. As I first time buyer I was not the best informed or prepared but with Brian’s assistance that felt like a non-issue!

He was always accessible and responsive, and his knowledge of the market was matched only by his ability to move quickly and effectively when it mattered most.

He also has excellent relationships with trusted partners in the home buying process, and with his coordination we were able to finalize our offer and secure pre-approval for financing in unimaginable timing.

Throughout the entire process, he made everything feel seamless and stress-free. His guidance was thoughtful, his communication clear, and his dedication unwavering. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, listens, and delivers exceptional results, he’s the one. A fantastic experience from start to finish. Not only that but you feel like family afterwards - he’s checked in and continues on relationships with his buyers/sellers for years to come.

Brian helped my daughter and I secure our first home - something we’ll be forever grateful for!
