Words cannot express how amazing Brent is in the world of Real Estate! He is thorough, patient, knowledgeable, and amicable. He took my wife and I as clients and soon after we began touring homes, putting in competitive offers, and he corresponded with sellers agents on a timely basis & was always transparent with the information. Working with Brent felt like we had the home court advantage which is something we did not think that was possible in this current market, but that of course is due to the fact that he has been doing this for 27 years. Working with Brent is like playing for the Dodgers, once you step up to the plate you're at a batting average of .340 in the Majors, a guaranteed success rate to purchasing a home with him! Honestly I cannot say enough about him, we hope that anyone who decides to work with Brent understands that the process just got a whole lot easier. We purchased our first home with him and wish him nothing but the best and to everyone else who decides to take him on as their realtor. Looking forward to working with him in the future already! read more

Brent is everything you'd hope for in a realtor when buying or selling a home. We were first-time buyers and he helped make our dream of owning a home come true. We had several friends buy and sell homes with him and were very grateful he was able to take us on as clients as his expertise, professionalism, reliability, connections, hands on approach were crucial in this competitive market. He personally met us at open houses and tours and worked with our rotating schedules. He also took the time to get to know us and understand what we were looking for in a house. Before putting offers in he really read us to see if a house was worth pursuing for us and was never pushy. He encouraged us to be honest if we didn't like a house or price. He was extremely helpful when it came to the inspections part of the process and again was not pushy if the findings were making us run the other way. We learned so much from him and would love to work with him again if the opportunity arises. read more

What can we say about Brent?!?... He's amazing, friendly, patient, thoughtful, always available for our calls and we're not just saying that. Everything he states on his profile is exactly how he is.. it's always a one on one with him and we never felt like we were dealing with an agent but more so a friend and that's saying a lot--considering the number of Agents we went through before we got to Brent. He works hard and he truly seems to care for our happiness, not only on our choice but also in the investment we were making. We would refer him to anyone looking for an agent and we will work with him again without a doubt. Honesty is hard to come by these days and he always provided us honest answers with every question we had. And we had several that's for sure. We highly recommend! read more

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. read more

There is an abundance of real estate agents that flood the industry today. Many possess the standard table stakes of qualifications such as passion and hard work, depth of knowledge and experience in the market, broad business network, success in negotiating and closing deals. Rarely however, does a real estate advisor like Brent Talbot come along that accomplishes all of this while prioritizing the virtues of honesty, trustworthiness, patience, and a genuine care for his client's best interests through tireless communication. I've had the pleasure of Brent being my real estate advisor for nearly two decades. Experiences range from him helping me navigate everything involved being a first time home owner in Hermosa Beach, to numerous close friends Brent supported in getting their dream homes across the South Bay and beyond. Most recently, Brent guided me through all of the intricacies being a first time landlord; sourced desirable tenants during the challenging times of the COVID19 pandemic by using innovative virtual methods. If you're in the real estate market to buy, sell or lease properties, I'd highly recommend reaching out to Brent Talbot. He embodies what it means to be a master at this craft. read more

My family and I were very fortunate to have found Brent as our realtor and cannot speak highly enough of our experience with him. Before we found Brent, we met with a few other random realtors through Zillow and Redfin but due to various reasons they did not fit right with us. We were looking for someone who is patient, trustworthy, diligent, and most importantly someone who we feel will be on our side throughout the entire process. The first day we met Brent to show us a few houses we knew we found someone that meets everything we were looking for. He is extremely patient, respectful, and will go out of his way to complete or find answers to any requests or questions we may have. As we were first time home buyers, there was a lot we needed to learn about the entire process. It was very overwhelming at first but Brent's extensive experience and recommendations made what would've been a painful process, absolutely painless. We are extremely grateful to Brent for all that he has done for us and is STILL doing for us, even after escrow has closed. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable agent. read more

It is always nice to write a review about an amazing experience. I used Brent Talbot to sell my home and, start to finish, he was professional, thorough and did an outstanding job. I was out of state for the sale, so Brent handled everything from getting the home staged, dealing with the various items that needed to be addressed in the house down to even packing some of my stuff and putting it into storage for me! His pricing and marketing were spot on and led to a very fast offer at full price. Brent then handled the entire process with the buyer with me being remote and took care of every detail quickly, cleanly and kept me informed throughout. This was far and away the best realtor experience I have ever had. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, real estate professional to handle your sale or purchase, I cannot recommend Brent enough. read more

Brent is great to work with. He is knowledgeable and experienced. He was great about getting us in to see homes privately and not during open houses. He was easy to reach and responsive. Brent took extra time to make sure we understood the market and process of buying a home in the South Bay. read more

**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. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but felt compelled to do so here because Brent is that good. He's an all star agent that deserves recognition, and I genuinely can't recommend him highly enough. Brent went above and beyond to help my wife and me find our dream home in this absolutely insane, often times overwhelming, market. One of the traits I appreciate most about Brent is how relentless he is. He will stay on top of the other agents and stakeholders to make sure the ball is always moving forward, which I think is critical to find success in this market. He also knows how to write and present an offer that stands out from the pack, and is an expert with deep experience on how to best navigate every stage of the process, from offer to closing. Brent limits the number of clients he will represent because he makes it a mission to give them a high level of personal attention. Anyone would be lucky to have him as an agent. read more

Brent was referred to me by a co-worker who I trust and said he had purchased a home through Brent back in 2002.My co worker also said Brent did an unbelievable job and he has referred him other friends who also said he did a great job for them.When I first met with Brent I could tell he had a thorough knowledge of the area that I wanted to buy in.He explained how the loan and the escrow process works since this was to be my first home purchase. After looking for some time we entered into escrow on a townhome in Redondo Beach.After doing the home inspection it was discovered that there were several areas with mold in the property.I didn't feel comfortable moving forward with the purchase of this property and Brent proceeded to talk to me about mold and what my options were.At the end of the discussion I told Brent that I wanted to cancel.Where most agents may have tried to push me into closing the escrow and doing something I wasn't comfortable doing, Brent was in my corner and backed me up the whole way.His patience and confidence very greatly appreciated at a time when I was a bit nervous.The seller took his time getting my deposit back to me, but Brent stayed on top of it and within a week I did get my deposit back. I am happy to say Brent did find me another townhome and I did close escrow on March 20th 2018.I am so happy with the property, and I'm glad that Brent continued to touch base with me about new properties as they hit the market.I think what really sets Brent apart from other agents that I have met is that he genuinely cares that I got the right property for me and not just any property.Brent is the best.Because I work so many hours there are many times that we spoke late at night or on the weekends.He continues to give me resources well after the close of escrow for handyman , painters, carpet cleaners, and several other people I needed help with.I now understand why my co-worker so highly recommended Brent. read more

Unbelievable character, responsiveness and care. No stone was left unturned during the process. Brent expertise in Redondo and Hermosa is stellar, meaning he had connections every step of the way, making what could be a stressful process so much easier. I'm indebted to him and look forward to recommending him every chance I can get. read more

Brent was the best realtor we could have asked for! He came recommended from a friend, and was above and beyond our expectations. He was friendly, kind, patient, and knowledgeable. His local expertise and connections with inspectors, contractors, and local professionals were really helpful. We had a lot of questions and Brent was thorough and patient with us. He communicated quickly with us, and was always available with a text, call or email. Brent guided us from "just looking" through closing, but was never pushy or aggressive. He let us set the pace and helped my husband and me make the best decisions for our family. We're so grateful for Brent's support and guidance throughout the process. He made a very stressful process seem like a breeze! We cannot recommend him highly enough! read more

This remarkable man is so resourceful, knowledgeable, and a true master of his craft. I am an elderly handicapped woman and Mr. Talbot went to great lengths from helping me with a young, inexperienced buyer to assisting with purchasing my forever home in Oregon. For my California home, he took care of plumbers, landscapers, roofers, painters, and even helped with packers and movers! You could not put yourself in more capable hands than this amazing man! read more

As first-time home buyers, Brent was the perfect choice for me and my husband. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area, guided us through every step of the process with patience, professionalism, and expertise, and was super responsive and available for phone calls and emails. We interacted with several other realtors along the way, and Brent stands above the rest. read more

If you are looking for a great Realtor that you can trust..... Look no further! Brent is very kind, helpful, knowledgeable in his field and most of all.. Honest! We are very pleased with our results! read more

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. read more

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! read more

My wife Jayne and I were looking to relocate back to the South Bay and rent for a coupe of years after selling our home a few years earlier. Our son and daughter in law use Brent to find there place a year prior to our move. As a retired real estate broker I was extremely impressed with Brent. He was helpful, thoughtful and always will to show us more properties on our schedule. We were not the easier family to place having two dogs. When the time comes for us to buy again. We will definitely use Brent as our agent. One of he best I've seen in years. read more

I wholeheartedly recommend Brent - he will deliver the results you want (even if you don't 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 that's 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 you're 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 you'll need once you purchase. He has been a trusted partner who consistently goes over and above and we're 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 he's 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 couldn't 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 wasn't - he did a ton for us because we just weren't there for closing. When you're 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 read more

Brent is great! I was referred to Brent back in 2008 by a good friend who had just worked with him. I was a first time buyer and knew nothing about the process. Brent is so knowledgeable on every aspect of the real estate world and has a knack for explaining things in an understandable way. He made even the more complicated subjects crystal clear for me! I can 100% vouch for everything Brent stated in his bio/profile! He was always so attentive yet not at all pushy. He also always has creative/out-of-the-box ideas on future renovations and potential upgrades. He is informative and insightful and, I believe, the reason I got my dream house! I have personally recommended Brent to 3 people (my sister and 2 friends). All of them ended up with a successful purchase (a condo in Redondo Beach, a house in Westchester and a cute bungalow in Long Beach). Both home buyers had very particular needs and I saw Brent not only deliver exactly what they needed, but he did it with such patience! Lastly, Brent is very nice and pleasant to be around. That's so important when the home buying process can take a while. The next time I am in need of a realtor, I would only think to dial Brent's number! read more

My husband and I just closed on a home in Redondo Beach with Brent and cannot say enough about the experience working with him! While this was my husband's second home purchase it was my first. Brent was so patient and walked me through the entire process rather than assuming that I had the same knowledge as my husband. He is an incredible listener and with each home viewing brought us to closer to the perfect home. After only 3 weeks we found our dream! The dream had 11 other offers. With 21 years of experience in the South Bay, Brent proved that his knowledge and thoughtful negotiating, not just $$, could bring our meticulously written offer to the top. Thank you Brent! read more

Working with Brent was very enjoyable -- he has exceptional knowledge of both the area and the business. He did everything possible to make our buying process smooth and hassle free. Highly recommend! read more

Brent is an amazing real estate agent. He is very thoughtful and full of good advice for a new homebuyer. He was able to show me several properties until I found the perfect home for me. He listened to what I wanted and thought outside of the box for me. I was pretty settled on a tiny house in a certain area. After doing real estate for 20 years he knew he could find something better. He was really patient with my request to see so many properties. He has integrity and I would highly recommend him to my family and friends. read more

Brent is pleasure to work with and a master at the craft of real estate. Having worked with him on multiple transactions, he is a clear communicator, great negotiator, and always thinking a step ahead on behalf of his clients. Most recently, we worked on a deal together with a first time home buyer - Brent was able to help her beat out multiple other offers, negotiate great terms for her, and close on time. I highly recommend Brent. read more

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 wasn't his/her hobby or past time - it was their profession. That's 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 he's 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 we'll call him to help us sell the home he just helped us buy. Let him do the same for you. read more

Brent is a 1 in a million guy, but for this review I will be specific to his professionalism and competence as a Real Estate agent. It was our first time buying a house, Brent filled in every knowledge gap. He was available all the time for us, and was a steady hand through the ups and downs of escrow. Brent is 100% the guy you want there, both as your advocate and your guide. A purchase of a home is significant both monetarily and emotionally, and Brent is the partner you want in the process. I couldn't have asked for more. read more

You won't 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 can't go wrong with Brent! read more

Wealth of information and genuinely cares about finding you the right place. Our escrow dragged out for several months and he continually made time and effort to assist us in anyway he could. Great buying partner! read more

There are many choices in real estate agents and we are so happy we worked with Brent. My wife and I recently sold our home in Redondo with Brent and we could not be happier. Brent was professional, responsive, and always willing to talk things through. We highly recommend. read more

Awesome Realitor, very knowledgeable and helpful throughout our buying process. Would recommend him to anyone looking for an honest Realitor. read more

My husband and I have had the privilege of Brent representing us in 5 real estate transactions over the last 7 years. He is the CALMEST, most knowledgeable and patient agent and has worked with me closely as both a buyer and a seller. I'm pretty sure 2 of our transactions, both selling properties, are probably the most difficult real estate deals he's managed in his 20+ years as an agent. Together we managed to close the deals and I can't imagine anyone else having been able to do that. He kept me as grounded as possible during really difficult escrows and he worked so hard for us. Brent is the person you want in your corner! He's not pushy or aggressive but he gets the job done in such a way that always blew me away. He has a way of speaking to people that makes you feel safe and confident and would push back on the other agent in the most respectfull and professional manner but it garnered RESULTS! I value his opinion so much and trust him implicitly. read more

Awesome service, great guy. Really went above and beyond, very knowledgeable and experienced.

Brent is a fantastic and personable agent, our family cannot thank him enough for making our home buying experience so pleasant. Prior to moving to our new home, Brent and I were neighbors in Redondo Beach. Brent has been walking his dog by our place for years. I had let Brent know the type of property we were looking for and he went to work locating different homes that would meet our criteria. This was right when the stay at home order for Covid 19 began, so I know it was not easy to set up appointments to see the homes. Within a short period of time Brent had found a home that we fell in love with. We knew that even though Covid 19 was going on , this home was special and would have interest from other buyers. Within a short period of time we had an accepted offer. Brent helped us pick an experienced home inspector. We let him know we preferred a lender from Bank of America and he helped us get in touch with a lender from Bank of America he has known for many years. As I write this review after the close of escrow, Brent is still helping us with a few different items for the home. We would highly recommend Brent to our friends and family. read more

I have known Brent personally and professionally for over 20+ years. My professional review comes from being in the mortgage business for 30+ years and having the privilege to work with many of Brent's clients. As the mortgage person, I get to hear from my clients basically everything they like and dislike about their realtor, from start to finish and sometimes after the close. I have to tell you, in 30 years I have heard it all, and quite frankly, a lot of it not positive about the realtor. I believe you attract in this business who you are, and Brent's clients are nice, courteous, educated and easy to work with, which describes Brent to a T. His clients always come to me very informed and organized, something I know Brent prides himself in doing up front with all his clients. He is thorough, honest, and very straight forward, which is why with his clients, I never hear anything negative about him. Most importantly, they never seem to be surprised about anything in the transaction, which as stressful as it is, is very rare in this business. I can't tell you how hard it is for people to find out something negative about the house or neighborhood towards the end of a transaction, and its Brent's experience that paves the way to make every deal as easy as possible for his clients. I only wish I had 10 more realtors like him to work with, as it would certainly make my mortgage business a heck of lot easier. Thanks Brent for who you are and caring about your client first! read more
