Brendan Leary – Sereno Group

Unfortunately our family had a very poor experience with Brendan. We found him to be arrogant, self-​centered and ultimately a bully in an effort to get his way. It was an agonizing experience full of ego. There are so many more professional realtors that we would prefer to work with in the future.

Brendan came highly recommended by many of our friends in the cycling community. Initially, we weren’t clear on how exactly one used a realtor. We felt capable of finding places that interested us and didn’t really need someone to escort us to open houses. But in a market as fast-​moving and competitive as the Peninsula, it’s not about finding what you like or deciding whether to make an offer-​you need someone who can get you over the finish line, FAST.
For us, Brendan added value in some key ways:
1) He was able to leverage his vast web of connections to get us quickly approved for a loan at highly competitive interest rates. This enabled us to make an offer on a home within a couple of days of our first meeting.
2) His highly professional team helped us pull together paperwork for offers quickly and painlessly.
3) He has strong working relationships with all the selling agents that we encountered. Ultimately, one of these relationships, plus Brendan’s killer instincts, got us a home that we love for less than we might have spent.
Brendan is interesting, and smart, and provides (with his team) a lot of other services that you may find valuable. But that’s not what sets him apart. In the end, here’s what matters: Brendan is a closer.

My wife and I recently relocated to the Bay Area after five years living abroad and have never lived in California before. As first time home buyers, we needed to be shown the ropes. We can’t believe how lucky we were to have been introduced to Brendan by friends. He was full service and helped us pick the right neighborhood, style of house, and set proper expectations. Like most people in the Bay Area, we were in a competitive bid situation and like magic, Brendan came through. After we bought the house, unlike most brokers, Brendan was there every step of the way from the closing to inspections to providing a professional service. Also he has «rule #1» whenever you have a question about anything on your house from property taxes to how to install cable: call Brendan.
Brendan not only went above and beyond, but he also has an amazing network of people to refer you to if you need anything from a lawyer for a trust, banker, gardner, locksmith, or anything in-​between.
In short: Brendan Leary is a rock star.
