The last time my wife and I bought a house was 1985 in Rhode Island and everything was quite simple and the sale went off without a hitch. Now fast forward 35 years later and we now have retired to Irvine with no intention of leaving. You can't beat Southern California weather. After living in a wonderful apartment (we did do our downsizing) we found that we wanted a little more room and with mortgage rates as low as they are right now it seemed a great time to look into buying a place with a little more square footage and something to call our own. A friend had purchased a home in the Woodbridge area of Irvine and we asked who had she used as her realtor and she mentioned she got great results from Brad Deshi. He lives right in the area and knows not only that neighborhod but also Irvine and the surrounding areas of interest to us. We contacted Brad and so began our search this past August. And we couldn't have picked a better realtor or person. He's a consummate pro!!!!! Buying California real estate in California is a little different than buying in Rhode Island. We looked at 10 or 12 properties and though some were close we knew we had to keep looking. Brad was great getting us to focus on what he knew was important to us. This past October we found the right place and Brad's comment that "it checked off all of our boxes" was spot on. Now the real work was beginning even though we didn't know. Going through a bank that we had a relationship with and a mortgage broker who took our application was just the start of what I'll just call "the process." The amount of paperwork required that we needed to submit was daunting and at times overwhelmed me. Brad was right there every day in every way. He took the burden off my shoulders and guided me through every crucial step that had to be made. My wife and I couldn't be happier not only in finding our new home but in all the help that Brad gave. He kept his cool when things got a little dicey and could have gone off the rails. That's just one of the reasons I can give him a FIVE-STAR rating but he deserves that rating for the whole process, from our first meet and greet to the showings he setup for us and the final process of getting all the paperwork that needed to be entered to make it a rewarding experience. If you are looking for a professional to help you find your dream home look no further than Brad Deshi..... read more

My wife and I met Brad just going to random open houses around Irvine and luckily stopped in to one of his. We weren't really looking at the time, but liked Brad given his experience, his welcoming demeanor and most importantly his breadth and depth of knowledge. I like to ask questions (what about this neighborhood? how do you think about value? etc. etc.) and not only was he willing to answer them, but he had good, solid responses. You could just tell he knew his stuff. We had talked with other agents at open houses and it was very obvious that Brad knew the area and what he was talking about. When it came time for us to actually go look for a home, we knew who we wanted to go to and that was Brad. He took the time to sit down with us and figure out what we were looking for. He gave us the tools to take as much (or as little) initiative in the search. He was very proactive in trying to figure out what we were looking for and getting us out to see those properties. Within a couple weeks, we saw nearly 2 dozen properties. When we found one we liked, he gave us the appropriate advice and just like that we had our 1 and only offer accepted. Through the last month, he's walked us through the process of closing and it's been a fantastic experience. If you want an experienced, knowledgeable agent, who is on top of his game and personable, Brad's the guy. read more

We have worked with Brad Dhesi to buy and sell properties over these past fifteen or so years. He is the absolute best! On the last property we sold, Brad assisted in getting our tenants to move out early so we could hit the height of the market. He had great contractors available to refinish our wood floors and a cleaning crew to get the house ready quickly once vacant. Next, Brad arranged for a staging company come in and furnish the house so it looked perfect. Brad knows how to get the "buzz" going on a property and held meaningful open houses. By the end of the open houses, Brad knew who were neighbors and who were serious buyers. Within a week we had numerous offers over our already inflated asking price. Brad walked us through the escrow and was even there to help when we had a water leak just before the close of escrow. Our last property was a tough one, but we got it closed on time with a difficult buyer. Brad is extremely professional and gets the job done. Brad also sold a home I had prior to marriage and he understood my need to be involved every step of the way. Brad Dhesi is a consummate professional and we highly recommend him. read more

If you need an honest, smart and "will work for you" agent in the OC area, Brad is your guy! Brad was referred to me by my mom's neighbor. This was a tough situation as my mom died suddenly and I was tasked to handle her estate. I live out of state so had to juggle a lot. To say that Brad went above and beyond is a complete understatement! Brad was my partner through the whole process. He helped me with an estate sale, junk removal and know the market inside and out. The fact that he is an honest and kind man made me comfortable through the entire process. He also guided me through the trust process with the title company and made sure we had all out ducks in a row and would not have any legal troubles to get the sale done. I have so much gratitude for you Brad! I have worked with a few agents over the years and have been very luck......Brad on the other hand is the best of the best, trustworthy and a fantasic guy that did way more than I would ever expect from a real estate agent. THANK YOU BRAD, CHEERS mate, get back to the track with that project car :) Kipp McGowan read more

Brad Dhesi sold us our first house 25 years ago, we were new to the area and met him at a open house. My wife and I hit it off with him and got to know him and his extended family. He guided us though the sale at that time continued to stay in touch with us in excess of twenty years. We have relied on Brad for our real estate needs . He provides excellent advice, knowing that hard work invested will return to him ...he sold our house a few weeks ago in a difficult market. Brad helped prepare our house for a professional sale, using old and new technologies, (you never know if the next client/buyer is old school (Okay..Boomer) , a Gen X-er or a real estate investor). I think Brad embraced and communicated in as many sales modalities as possible. Brad staffed Open Houses, Agent Pre-Views, and would have performed Belly Dancing if necessary, fortunately we did not have to go that far ... we had a smooth win-win successful sale! read more

We have known Brad for almost 20 years since he sold our house in Irvine in 1999. My wife and I were very impressed by his professionalism and diligence. He patiently guided us through the preparation of the house for sale and also delivered an excellent sales price. No doubt we were happy with the transaction. Years later, when we wanted to rent out a house in Irvine Woodbridge, we called Brad again. He screened the applicants and again found us a nice match within a short period of time. To date, he is still managing the rental for us. Over the years, Brad maintains a high level of professionalism. He is responsive to our requests and, most importantly, he knows the market cold. We trust Brad to watch out for our interest. Last year, when we decided to buy a new home in Irvine. We called Brad again. My wife and I are now happy residents of the Eastwood Village in north Irvine. Once again, Brad delivered! read more

Brad Dhesi helped us sell our home in 2013. He was professional and easy to work with. After interviewing a couple of other agents, he stood out by taking our concerns seriously, walking us through the selling process, and proposing a realistic asking price. Brad identified the repairs and improvements most pertinent to making the sale. He was prompt in scheduling the work and appointments, and we were satisfied with both the quality and cost of the work. He ensured we made the proper disclosures and navigated us through a sensitive buyer concern to both parties' satisfaction. The team Brad worked with took great pictures for a virtual tour, and produced a beautiful flyer. Our home sold quickly and was a record sale for its model. I wouldn't hesitate to use Brad again to sell my home. read more

We had the good fortune to find Brad as new buyers coming into the challenging Orange County market. Brad turned out to be like finding a vein of gold while mining. He is extremely bright and has an incredible work ethic, and his knowledge and history in the OC market gives him perspective and judgment. He's an expert. We found a great home after several weeks of kicking tires and searching to find the right place at the right price. Brad's advice was spot on, and we are very happy with our purchase! We closed just before the SIP Orders came down, so we have yet to celebrate our success with Brad but will do so when the Covid-19 cloud has lifted. Brad is an experienced, seasoned representative who will be able to provide top shelf service. Wholeheartedly recommend him! read more

Brad is a fantastic realtor who really went the extra mile for me when I was buying a home from long distance. He not only introduced me to a new area and neighborhoods, but took the time to talk through my needs to truly understand what I wanted in a location and in a home. He was available whenever I contacted him and took the time to explain any concerns or strategize on purchase details. I felt completely taken care of at all times by a trusted professional. His service didn't stop when the transaction closed. He has followed up and helped with contractors and service providers after move in to ensure I am happy with my purchase. I highly recommend Brad for going above and beyond and being great person to work with. read more

I have known Brad Dhesi since the mid 80's. He is a wonderful Realtor who works hard for his clients, buying or selling, to be sure he more than meets their needs buying and gets the very best price selling. He is very knowledgable, stays on top of the buying & selling process all the way, has a great back-up crew if he is with another client and unavailable, returns your call as soon as he can. When he sold my home (in a difficult market) he went that "extra mile" to be sure everything went smooth and there were no glitches in getting into my new place. Along with all his other tributes he is patient, kind, personable and most of all he listens to your likes and needs and does his best to fulfill your expectations. read more

More than just being a conscientious, knowledgeable and caring real estate agent (which he is), Brad became a confidant and friend whom we have developed a long term association with. Brad is a classy and professional individual who will represent your interests in a proactive and results oriented manner. We definitely would not have been able to get the house we wanted in a competitive market without the experienced direction and advice provided by Brad. I guarantee that if you spend just 10 to 15 minutes with Brad discussing real estate and financial matters, that you will be assured he is a person you can definitely rely upon in undertaking the significant decision to purchase and/or sell a home. read more

We have known Brad since 2006 when he helped us buy our first house. He was referred by one of my colleagues who happened to be his neighbor as well. We were lucky to have met Brad as he guided us through the buying process step by step and everything went pretty smooth. We enjoyed our home! Great thing about Brad is that unlike other realtors, Brad is there whenever you need him. He helped us through very stressful times when we had a bad tenant. With Brad's expert guidance and his great legal contacts, we were able to get the tenant evicted with minimal rental loss. We would recommend Brad to anyone who is looking for a personalized and honest experience in this market full of so many realtors! read more

Working with Brad was the most efficient and effective Real Estate process I have ever been through. His real estate skills are top notch, but what sets him apart is his ability to understand the emotional and logistical process that the homeowner is going through. He prepared me for the entire selling experience and provided expertise to ensure my home was shown at its best. He communicated regularly, was always available to answer questions on short notice, and anticipating my needs was able to quickly troubleshoot any roadblocks. My transaction could not possibly have been smoother because of Brad's expertise and direct involvement. I highly recommend him for your real estate needs. read more

For everything to come together with our new home, we needed the right real estate agent--someone reliable, responsive, and able to move at our fast pace. Brad was exactly that. He made the process smooth from start to finish. He coordinated everyone involved--like the photographer who handled video and drone work--so we didn't have to worry about a thing. Brad also helped us secure a home that was not only beautiful but priced exactly right. What really stood out was that we weren't even in his area--yet he traveled multiple times to meet us, making sure we had everything we needed. It was a great experience, and we highly recommend working with him! read more

Brad helped me buy and later sell my property in Fullerton. My co-worker referred Brad to me when I was looking to buy my first home. Brad is a professional with a wealth of knowledge, very down to earth, honest and advocates for his clients. For example, he warned me about buying a house when he noticed cracks in the outside concrete. He recommended performing a geological survey to check for possible shifting in the foundation. I didn't consider that house due to his keen observation and honest input. I could keep going on and on about Brad's integrity. Stop your Yelp search and go with Brad. He'll be your best ally in your home search and/or sale. read more

Brad is the best agent ever! He is very knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. On top of that he is extremely patient, kind and super friendly. We took the longest time to find the perfect house and not once did he ever make us feel like we were taking too long. Always happy to show us a new house. He encouraged us and assured us that we would find the one and we did, thanks to his commitment and perseverance. He is always looking out for his clients' best interest. Your satisfaction is his priority. He is a terrific person and that's probably why he is a great agent as well. More than an agent, we consider him a good friend for life. read more

Brad Dhesi is an amazing realtor. We recently worked with him to sell our single-family home in Woodbridge in Irvine. He helped us through a complete remodel, managing the landscaping, floor replacement, painting, contractors and various other work crews, with patience and expertise. He did so as if he had done it many, many times before, because he has. You won't find a more qualified, knowledgeable, experienced, even-keeled realtor anywhere. We sold our home successfully and got the price we wanted with a more than capable, decent person as our realtor. Needless to say, we highly recommend him. Anne and Geoff read more

Brad Dhesi is the quintessential perfect real estate agent. I worked with him recently to sell a house, and I was consistently impressed and reassured by his professionalism, honesty, transparency, people skills, knowledge, and ability to solve problems effortlessly (or so it seemed on my end). He negotiated a great win-win deal, and the whole transaction could not have been easier for me. I just felt very lucky that I had come across Brad's path and followed my hunch to hire him. I plan to always work with Brad when buying/selling real estate in the future. There's no one with whom I'd feel more confident. read more
