My family recently dealt with the unfortunate and daunting task of having to sell my parents' home after they had both passed away. Initially, we spent many months only sporadically working at the property with the intention of emptying the house of its contents and otherwise prepping it for sale. However, the job soon became stressful and overwhelming, particularly because of the sheer size of the project. We saw no light at the end of the tunnel! We needed guidance and a lot more help. That's when we hired Garrett and Martha! They both spent a lot of time at the house helping us gather and organize clothing, jewelry, and other furnishings. They also helped us create several junk piles which Garrett then arranged to have hauled away. After we held an estate sale and had finally emptied the house, Garrett and Martha kicked into overdrive! Within a week's time, Garrett scheduled several inspections, hired an electrician, and had workers install new hard wood flooring and do other needed painting and repairs. All of this work was actually completed within just a few short weeks. Garrett and Martha don't procrastinate. They always strived to get things done quickly yet competently. Garrett had the house beautifully staged with furniture before it went on the market. The transformation was unbelievable! He and Martha listed the property at exactly the right price, with the strategy of motivating as many prospective buyers as possible to view the home. That strategy worked like a charm! Within only 3 weeks we entertained several offers. Garrett thoroughly discussed each of them with us and provided sound advice, which we followed. He negotiated expertly with the buyer's agent, and ultimately secured a purchase price significantly higher than what we had hoped for or expected! The escrow proceeded smoothly and closed right on schedule. Throughout this process, Garrett and Martha kept us apprised of the status of every inspection, work project, and all other information regarding the property. However, whenever he sensed I was anxious about something, Garrett would make a point of telling me, "Don't worry. Let me worry about it for you!" I can honestly say that was some of the best advice he gave me. Garrett and Martha are extremely knowledgeable and smart. They worked very hard, analyzed each situation, and were always contemplating the best strategies to follow for our home sale. It was truly amazing to watch them work so efficiently and effectively. Their organizational skills are impeccable. Just as impressive was their dedication to conducting themselves ethically and professionally at all times. They are a great team! In sum, I highly recommend Garrett and Martha, without hesitation, when you're seeking realtors to represent you for the sale or purchase of a home. You can trust them to get the job done right and to do it well. They take pride in their work, are extremely diligent, and are both wonderful and friendly people! Thank you Garrett and Martha. We couldn't have done this without you! read more

The thought of purchasing my first home in the midst of a pandemic was not how I pictured this experience whatsoever. There were several times I wanted to just give up and hope that maybe in a few years it would work out. My realtor Garrett knew that I was more than ready to purchase a home and honestly was more motivated to find me a home at times than I was. This roller coaster of a ride to buy a home began back in July, when I found a condo I loved and made my first offer, hoping that it would be accepted. It was not, and over the course of the next several months Garrett and I went to multiple properties. There are many details but very long story short I was in escrow two separate times when unfortunately the deals fell through, the first one fell through literally the night before I was scheduled to sign all of the paperwork. Garrett had to call me that night to tell me that the documents we had JUST received indicated that this deal would not be financially right for me. I was bummed, but incredibly thankful that I had a realtor that was looking through every single detail for me and caught something I know I wouldn't have. A little over a month ago the property I made my first offer on came back on the market and I wanted to go for it, again. I reached out to Garrett as soon as I saw it and within 24 hours my second offer was submitted. I can't stress enough how incredibly knowledgeable Garrett is in his field of work, how reliable and responsive he is. When I say I would go no more than 15-20 minutes without some kind of response or answer to a question I mean 15-20 minutes. Not a day or a couple of hours. If you have a question, it WILL get answered in a timely manner. I don't think I've ever seen someone work so incredibly hard, and let's be honest here I knew all along he's not going to get rich off of any purchase I made, but the way he treated me as a client made me feel like I was purchasing a multimillion dollar home. Without a doubt Garrett will be who I refer all my friends and family to. Thank you Garrett, from the bottom of my heart. It is because of your incredible work ethic that I am now a homeowner! **1 Year Later** It's officially been just over a year since I purchased my first home and I couldn't be happier! Garrett, you are truly amazing at what you do and I can say with 100% certainty that anyone that has you as their realtor will get nothing less than an amazing experience! Keep up the amazing work! read more

Garrett is a phenomenal realtor with an amazing work ethic and a genuine passion for helping people to find their home. As first time homebuyers we had put off looking for a house in the Bay Area thinking it would be too difficult, especially during a pandemic. Garrett patiently guided us through these trying times of low inventory and multiple bids, always optimistic, and encouraging us to continue looking even when we felt like giving up. Throughout, Garrett was extremely responsive, answering all our texts within a few minutes and explaining everything in detail. He had an inexplicable way of making us feel like we were his only clients even though we knew he had many. On top of that he was super fast at putting offers together at very short notice. Through his connections with the seller we were finally able to secure a wonderful home off-market in a sought after neighborhood. From start to finish the purchase process was incredibly smooth. Garrett handled all the details, sent us timely reminders, and helped us step-by-step with the whole process. The only difficulty we faced was deciding on how much money we were willing to part with. We have closed on our home but Garrett is still helping us with the move-in stage. Honestly, if you want the most stress free house-buying experience ever, we wholeheartedly recommend Garrett! read more

Garrett Mann is fantastic. I was in the market to sell condo and upgrade. Once we got the ball rolling the process was as fluid as one could expect. He put together an amazing package showcasing the property and within a week we had our first showing. Then more started to come through. One thing I absolutely appreciate is the fact that I never once felt pressured to accept an offer I was uncomfortable with. If ever I felt uncomfortable, Garrett simply said to do what I feel is right for me. We were on the market for several months before that right offer came in. During all that time, Garrett never once stopped pushing for me, even when the market started to cool off. When I told him I didn't want to buy a new place immediately, he was completely understanding, and even encouraged me to take whatever time I needed before starting that journey. Through the whole process, he was always available to contact. I never went more than a few days without a call from him - whether it was to give a major update, or simply to say nothing had changed. I really appreciate this - there's a lot of realty black magic, so just being informed of what's going on is super helpful. Thank you so much, Garrett for being not only an amazing realtor but an amazing person! I can't wait for us to start looking for my new home! read more

Garrett is everything I could have hoped for in an agent. He ALWAYS went above and beyond for me from start to finish and gave me reputable recommendations on pretty much everything. He had my back no matter what throughout the entire process. Garrett was not only an agent he was also a detective in the process. Because of his thoroughness and attention to detail he spotted a critical mistake made by the sellers agent and saved me potential issues if he had not pointed it out and took the time to do his own research. Because it was my first home purchase he excelled in trying to make everything as smooth as possible and really had my back on every decision I made, answered any question any time of day, and because I work long hours and out of town frequently he just made the home buying process a lot less stressful for me. Garrett is dedicated to his work, persistent, and gets information and is plain out on top of his stuff 100% of the time. I would recommend him to absolutely anybody. If you're looking for a real estate agent, THIS IS YOUR GUY!! read more

Garrett is one of the most amazing professionals that I've ever worked with in my life. Throughout the sale of my parents' home, he was kind, warm, compassionate, efficient, and knowledgeable. He communicated with me regularly, allayed all of my concerns, and did everything in his power (and beyond!) to make the sale as easy for me as possible. He even helped me clear some belongings out of the home and transported them to a donation site for me. Garrett worked with me carefully to ensure that the home was well-prepared for sale, and consulted with me frequently (and patiently) to help me make decisions as to each pre-sale improvement that we made. From our first interaction, I knew that I was in good hands with Garrett, and I trusted him implicitly to handle all of the details for me - which he did with supreme polish and effectiveness. From beginning to end, Garrett turned what could have been a very arduous and emotionally daunting task into a process that unfolded without a single hitch. He is, quite simply, the best of the best. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Garrett as he supported me in the purchase of my very first home. Garrett was extremely professional, knowledgeable, honest, proactive and detailed oriented. Garrett made sure that all my concerns and questions were addressed and put to ease. He actually made the process super fun and as stress free as possible. Garrett not only made sure that he did not drop any balls, but he ensure that nobody did in the entire process. Rather impressed with Garrett's maturity, knowledge of the market, and his honest approach. I cannot recommend Garrett enough - truly feel very lucky to have gotten one of the best in the business to handhold me through what was the most exciting, and the scariest thing I have ever done! If you are looking for a think partner, that can effortlessly guide you in your journey of homeownership, I highly recommend Garrett Mann and his lovely and brilliant partner, Martha. What a dream team! read more

10/10 would work with him again - - First time home buyer - -  Garrett is an outstanding realtor overall with a great balance of local experience, determination, and energy to get things done in a timely fashion. He is a humble and a very responsive 'workhorse' for lack of a better term who is passionate about the industry and has a very genuine personality. I really think he picked the right career for himself because it shows in his work. He does a fantastic job of educating buyers with with current trends, buyer resources, and property information. He definitely makes the process fun, as it can be a stressful venture. During my process, he went out of his way many times to accommodate me and I will always be very appreciative for that. Watching him and my lender work together for the first time was seamless and smooth. I have zero criticism and I am excited to see where his career will take him. You da man, G! Best of luck to you! read more

Garrett is a top-notch realtor--the best we've had the pleasure to know and work with. He is professional, knowledgeable, organized, courteous, and, most importantly, always puts his clients' interests first. In addition to conducting a diligent inspection of the entire property himself, he was patient in reviewing the seller's disclosure with us, offered his opinion on the home's value, arranged and reviewed additional inspections, and provided valuable recommendations for negotiation. His support didn't end at closing--he continued to assist us with arranging and managing needed repairs. As first-time buyers, we couldn't imagine navigating the complicated process without his assistance. It was overwhelming, with so many nuances and potential risks, but he guided us every step of the way through. Not only was it a great pleasure to work with Garrett, but we also felt confident and secure making decisions with his support. read more

From the start, even before the first showing, Garrett was lockstep with us in our house search. I was quick-paced about the search because I felt I only had a short time to be hyper-focused to really find a house. His response time felt instantaneous, often digging into the house disclosures for very specific information we were looking for, and either finding the information we needed or requesting it right away. His experience really was demonstrated in his straightforward responses and advice. He is thoughtful, brings great, positive energy and is highly motivated to be helpful and go beyond expectations. When we flip flopped in our decision-making, his focus was 100% to support us in our goals and priorities for a home. I could not have been happier with his performance, and will and do highly recommend him to my friends, family, and anyone serious about finding a great home. read more

We worked with Garrett to buy our home in Fairfield, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, he was incredibly responsive, patient, and supportive. Both of us work first responder schedules, and he always found ways to communicate and keep us updated -- even when our availability didn't match. He made sure we each were in the loop, understood the next steps, and felt confident in every decision. What stood out most was how present and available he was. Any question, any time -- he never made us feel rushed or inconvenient. It really felt like he cared about our family and our outcome, not just the transaction. We're so grateful to have had Garrett on our side. If you're looking for someone who's professional, dedicated, and genuinely invested in helping you find the right home, we can't recommend him enough. read more

Garrett was great! He quickly caught on to the type of home we were looking for and did not waste our time with homes that were either over budget or under our standards. Garrett was able to answer, find the answer, or point us to the right person with the answer for every question we had during the whole process. I really felt he had our best interests in mind and never felt uninvolved in it or clueless during the process. Highly recommend! Update: over two years after this original review was written, Garrett has continued to exceed my expectations! Anything we have reached out to him for, he has always replied with excellent information quickly. He would stop over once in a while to catch up and humor our son with a game of catch when the kiddo asked! Will use his expertise in the future whenever buying or selling! read more

I've known Garrett for over a year and a half. It was truly a great pleasure working with Garrett. Super responsive and excellent service from day 1! Garrett helped my sister buy our first house and helped me get my own house after a year. After a couple of previous attempts to buy a specific house, Garrett helped us get the dream house in a smooth manner. Garrett quickly set the wheels in motion to make sure the deal goes smoothly. Garrett is full of ideas and an honest person as he guided me to do the right things in the right way. The one thing that stood out to me about Garrett and made him the best realtor is truly a genuine, creative and an honest personality. Garrett not only has a great plan but also a great execution strategy!! We will definitely use Garrett for selling or buying! read more

Garrett was absolutely amazing to work with. From start to finish he was available for every question and really made the buying experience as easy as possible. Not only did he take the time to put together listings that he thought I might like, but every place I wanted to view he came ready with knowledge and positivity. He worked hand in hand with my lender during the purchase process and took every bit of stress off of me and explained every little thing that came to mind for me to ask. He was willing to take the time to make this process as fun and exciting as possible. I am so appreciative of the hardworking person Garrett is to really make buying my first home a breeze. Highly recommend working with him, he will not let you down. read more

For those who is looking for a Realtor, Mr. Garrett Mann is absolutely the person to hire. We hired Garrett to sell our mom and dad's home, via an Estate/Trust. He was very thorough, honest, and very reliable. We would call and text him late in the evening, text him on weekends, and was always available. He made the sell seamless and we were able to close escrow in less than three week! What's also remarkable about Garrett is his compassionate demeanor towards our family. It was not just about numbers; he cared and that meant a whole to us. I will and for those reading this review, Mr. Garrett Mann is a person of integrity and is highly recommendable for your real estate needs. Thank you so very much Garrett for all you did! read more

I think Garrett Mann is an excellent realtor, I would recommend Garrett to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. He was always there when we needed him. He is very serious about his job. He is like family. He never lost hope even when I did sometimes. He is a real go getter and always was very professional and I see him going far in this business,actually he has and we are very proud of his success.

We feel we were very lucky to have had him as our realtor.  We feel he deserves realtor of the year award. Thank You Michael and Rene McFarland read more

Garrett worked with my Mom to sell her house. Something she had been wanting to do for years, but was a little overwhelmed by the process as her situation was a little more complex. From the moment Garrett stepped into the picture he was able to immediately lift the weight off everyones shoulder. He laid out a plan, catered to our comfort levels, that made the process very easy. Once the ball was rolling he was there every step of the way. Even all the vendors and title workers said he was always a joy to work with. Garrett was able to get us several great offers on the house. We couldn't be more grateful for his help and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home. read more

"Garret Mann and Martha were an absolute dream team throughout the entire process of selling our house. Not only did they handle home improvements, deal with contractors, and ensure transparency every step of the way, but they also took care of staging and cleaning services, which made a significant difference in presenting our home. Their strong marketing knowledge and smart strategy ensured our home got the attention it deserved. Their expertise and professionalism made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. Garret and Martha made sure we felt confident from start to finish, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking to sell their home!" read more

Garrett and Marcia exceeded all my expectations based on prior experiences with realtors. They were courteous, timely, and communicated well. They coordinated inspections, repair work, cleaning, and staging of my house (all besides repairs were included with their fee at closing and didn't cost extra). Part of the process occurred while I was out of state which did not impact how efficient they worked for us. In they end my home sold for well above asking price and in under a week. I attribute this almost entirely to Garrett and Marcia's efforts. TLDR; Garrett facilitated my home sale with great efficiency and it sold much faster and for more than my most optimistic expectations. Highly recommend! read more
