For 30 years and 500+ homes sold, none of Brad's buyers have ever lost their deposit, and none of his sellers have ever lost a sale to a bad contract. Here's how he does it — see it free.

“I met Brad in 2024 when my church purchased a property with his assistance. During that time, I shared my interest in buying a home for my family. Brad took the time to understand our income, needs, and the areas where we hoped to buy. After an in-depth consultation at his office, he contacted multiple banks and explored different loan options to help us find the best solution. Brad went above and beyond, researching various loan programs, government funds, and first-time homebuyer options. After a lot of effort and dedication on his part, my wife and I were able to purchase our first home in San Diego. Brad consistently exceeded expectations. He was always available to answer questions, provide detailed information, and discuss every step of the process. I have never met someone so committed to helping others—he truly goes the extra mile beyond what is expected. Because of our great experience, I recommended Brad to my brother-in-law, and Brad helped him purchase his first home as well. Brad is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely focused on helping people buy their dream home. I highly recommend Brad to anyone looking for a professional realtor who truly cares and goes above and beyond for his clients.”

“I had an amazing experience working with Brad Brinkman. I really appreciated how clearly he explained everything. He walked me through each step , helped me understand what to look for and pointed out potential problems I never would have noticed on my own. He is patient, knowledgeable and genuinely committed to making sure you feel confident in your decisions. Thanks to Brad, what could have been a confusing and stressful process went smooth and manageable. I highly recommend Brad Brinkman if you want an agent who truly looks out for you.”

“We recently decided to move and sell our home of twenty five years in San Diego. It was a hard decision to make as this was our dream home. We had both recently retired and were looking forward to living the rest of our lives in sunny southern California. Unfortunately, this was not in the cards for us. With a continual rise in our HOA fees, gas, electric and insurance rates we just couldn't afford to stay. A close friend of ours recommended Brad as a trustworthy and experienced real estate agent, so we contacted him about putting our condo on the market. My past experiences with real estate agents made me wary and a little on edge but as soon as we met Brad we were immediately put at ease! Not only was he personable and sincere but seemed genuinely concerned that we get exactly what we needed out of our sale. We initially wanted to ask what we believed to be a reasonable price for our home but Brad explained that without some renovations and updates we would have to list it at a considerably lower price. I went back to my friend who had recommended Brad and he reiterated that Brad had been a successful real estate agent for over twenty five years in San Diego and that we needed to trust him. We discussed it for a couple of days and decided to go ahead with Brad's recommendations. Brad immediately introduced us to Tim (his renovation expert). within three weeks Tim had totally transformed our home to the point where we jokingly said we might just remain there After all (NO WAY!). As a result, we were able to list our condo for CONSIDERABLY more than Brad had originally recommended and closed for ca$h within a month ! Truly though, Tim and his team did such an incredible transformation that we (and our neighbors) were stunned! All in all, what could have been a nightmare and a huge stress fest was avoided thanks to Brad and his team. Brad was constantly and consistently available to shepherd us through a momentous and strenuous time and we are so grateful we followed his recommendations and trusted his guidance. We now live in a beautiful home in the N.C.mountains (near where i once lived for twelve years) and we have Brad to thank for it. Wait, i almost forgot! Not only did Brad successfully sell our home for us, he also vetted an EXP agent in N.C. who was wholly cut from the same cloth as Brad! Brad is a sincere, trustworthy, humorous and insightful guy and his experience and guidance enabled us to transition (in our70's!) to a whole new dream home and for that we are truly thankful!”

“Brad is fantastic! Buying my first home felt like a pretty daunting process at the start, but Brad helped every step of the way and made it feel incredibly smooth. He delivers a totally personalized approach and really takes the time to understand what you’re looking for - not just in the house itself, but your motivations and long-term goals. His attention to detail is unmatched. Brad consistently pointed out things I would have never noticed on my own, and he keeps everything grounded in reality without ever dampening the excitement. He’s incredibly timely, reliable, and always prepared with exactly the documents or info you need before you even ask. On top of that, he’s charismatic, personable, and someone you can genuinely trust. His honesty and opinions are spot-on, and his network of inspectors, lenders, and other pros are just as efficient and reliable as he is. He works quickly, communicates clearly, and makes the entire experience feel comfortable and manageable. Brad isn’t about volume, he’s about you! If you want a realtor who goes above and beyond and makes you feel completely taken care of, Brad is the one. I couldn’t recommend him more.”

“My fiancé and I are first time home buyers. From the very beginning of the process to the close of escrow, and even beyond closing, Brad has made us feel like family. He brought us in and had no problem explaining everything from the ground up about how this process worked. He was extremely thorough and fought for us on every occasion, and he never failed to get the answers we needed in a timely manner. His communication was on point and there wasn’t a single time we felt like we had been left out of the loop. He took our calls at any point in the day and never left us wondering what our status was in each stage of looking & purchasing. I would highly recommend using Brad for your next home purchase because of the way he treats his clients and his vast knowledge about how the process works! Brad came referred to us by my fiancés parents who he had helped buy an investment property years ago. He is experienced and stays informed on today’s current market. Thank you Brad! -Will and Rosie”

“Brad was an excellent realtor for us when we bought our Point Loma house. He had the listing from the sellers and was very fair in representing both sides and navigated a ton of thorny issues right up until the close of escrow. His assistance did not stop there. He has been great on post-sale followup items and guidance for us. I would definitely use Brad again.”

“Brad helped us find our home in San Diego back in 2010. We had already given up hope that we could purchase at that time in that market but Brad’s unwavering support, his advice and ability to provide the right pitch to the sellers made all the difference in the world. We continue to rely on Brad for advice to navigate the San Diego real estate market to this day. It’s not just his business sense and expertise but his soft skills that made us choose Brad. He listens very well, he asks the right questions, he does the actual work of finding homes and guiding us through the home visits. We cannot recommend Brad highly enough and encourage anyone that is looking to buy or sell in the San Diego market to reach out to Brad.”

“Brad helped us locate and buy a home in Pacific Beach. His knowledge of the market, responsiveness, attention to detail, industry connections, and good-natured patience made the experience better than we could have hoped for. Even after the closing, he continued to answer our questions and provide valuable information and referrals to local services and contractors.”

“Brad made our first time home buying experience so easy and stress free. We were referred to Brad by a family friend and from our first phone call we felt very confident in Brad’s ability to navigate the complexities of the San Diego market. From our first call to closing on the house, it took less than a month for Brad to help us land our perfect home. He is an expert at navigating contracts and will explain things in a very detailed but understandable manor. We have already referred Brad to some friends who he has helped close on their first home as well. We can’t recommend Brad enough!”

“We started doing business with Brad in 2003 when he helped us find a 4 bedroom condo that our daughter and friends could live in while attending SDSU. With the rent we were able to pay the mortgage. Over the years Brad has helped us buy multiple other rental properties helping us get the more bang for our dollar. He also helped us sell properties in a timely manner and getting good sales price. Brad has also helped us with questions we had regarding properties in other states. Our last dealing with Brad was buying a dream home for us and Brad helped us come through a challenging escrow with flying colors. Brad is super knowledgeable, kind, honest and a hard worker. We would not consider any other agent! Jeff Cellar and Lois Scott”

“Brad Brinkman has been an absolute game-changer for me, both as my personal real estate coach and as a realtor. His expertise and dedication are unmatched! As a coach, he provides clear, actionable guidance, always pushing me to achieve my goals while offering unwavering support. He doesn’t just teach the basics—Brad goes above and beyond to ensure I’m always growing, evolving, and thriving in the competitive world of real estate. As a realtor, Brad is simply incredible. His knowledge of the market is vast, and his negotiation skills are masterful. He truly listens to his clients needs and is always two steps ahead, ensuring everything is seamless from start to finish. I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor in my real estate journey. Brad is professional, reliable, and consistently delivers outstanding results. Highly recommend!”

“I am a fellow colleague in the real estate industry and have known Brad for a few years now through a mastermind group that gets together a few times a year physically and on a monthly basis over zoom. What stands out most to me about Brad is his genuine desire to help other people. He takes it personal, his friendships and his business. He not only wants to work hard for a client, he really wants to create a lifelong relationship. He has written many books and has a lot of experience coming into a transaction to help clients ultimately get their desired outcome. I would recommend taking the time to get to know him better and see how he can help you take the next step in your journey.”

“I highly recommend Brad Brinkman as a top-notch realtor. You will not find anyone with his level of experience, knowledge, and level of commitment whether he is representing you as a seller or a buyer. Recently, I referred Brad to a friend that had been trying to buy a home for more than a year. Offer-after-offer, my friend would lose the opportunity to another buyer. My friend took a chance with Brad. Finally, my friend's offer won! He is happily in his new home. This was not possible without Brad. Brad went above and beyond to make this transaction go through. I can't say enough good things about Brad. Professional, competent, ethical, and caring. Brad is my go to guy for ALL things real estate. Thanks for being a great resource and trusted business partner. We absolutely love our home, thanks for all you do.”

“My husband and I have dealt with many good realtors thru the years but Brad is exceptional. He helped us recently buy a home in La Jolla in 2021 during Covid. This presented certain challenges as we lived in Portland and had to …”

“Brad sold my father's house in Pacific Beach after he passed away, obtaining several offers and ultimately a higher price than we expected. Brad is an excellent communicator and was always available for my brothers and me throughout the process. He explains things very plainly and is extremely organized. A real professional and very personable too! I highly recommend Brad.”

“Brad helped us navigate a complex situation and come out with multiple offers above listing price. We went listing to close in 22 days! Brad is The Guy!”

“Brad helped me get my first home. He and his team are the best!! I highly recommend them. Brad takes his time and really cares about his clients. He answered all my questions and was there for me. Thank you Brad!!”

“Brad helped me to buy my first house 20 years ago. And he is still helping me out with many real estate items. He's the best at what he does! and we really appreciate him.”

“Brad, you were awesome! We can't thank you enough for all your hard work and diligence to see our purchase through. You were on top of it, reviewing all the documents and keeping us apprised of what was happening. Our loan process was a little cumbersome but you stuck with it while we navigated through the red tape. We are very excited about our new beach house and appreciate working with you for a second time. John and Karen Reynolds”

“Brad is the best. I’m not kidding. He was on top of everything, never missing a detail. In a competitive market like the one we are in today, you really need an agent that works hard for you. Brad is that guy. Can’t say enough about him. Highly recommended!”

“I have worked with Brad on four separate deals (bought two homes with him, sold them with him years later) and he has been excellent every time. Quick response times, conscientious, and just gets things done. Highly recommend!”

“Brad Brinkman is very personable and provides expert real estate advice and assistance.”
