We worked with Brian Garrett and Margaret Thomson to purchase our first home in San Francisco. They made the daunting and fast-paced market understandable, and the process downright pleasant! Brian clearly has a strong understanding of the San Francisco real estate landscape, and Margaret was attentive, communicative, and locked into our needs right away. We had a wonderful time working with them both and would highly recommend choosing Sage Real Estate.

Selling our family home was an emotional journey, but Brian made it so much easier for us. From start to finish, he guided us with professionalism, care, and an understanding of what this home meant to us. His expertise and attention to detail ensured a smooth process, and his warmth and support made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent—he truly was a pleasure to work with! If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and delivers exceptional results, Brian Garrett is your man. Thanks again for everything!

We worked with Brian on selling our condo in San Francisco. The entire experience was excellent and above expectations. Brian and Sally guided us through all the phases of the process with a lot of professionalism--from preparing the unit for the open houses, managing the marketing, setting expectations, through the offer and negotiation process and all the way until escrow close with a tight deadline. This is our second experience with Brian and we would gladly work with him again should the opportunity arise.

Professional and Savvy. Brian and his team helped me sell my property in a challenging market. They did an outstanding job from pre-listing to post-sale. Their deep understanding of the San Francisco market and trends is unmatched, and you definitely want them on your side during any negotiations.

Brian and his team were in continuous communication with me and went out of their way to assist me with the process of selling our home.

Brian was an exceptional agent. He took the entire process over and owned it. If sold our house as if it was his own. He covered all the bases as if it was his personal place. Our stress level was at zero with Brian in charge. He managed all the aspects of the sale from the remodel to close. Always checking on the house on daily basis because we were already living in another state. He was straight forward and was always sharing the reality of selling a house and making sure we were comfortable with every step. If you don’t hire Brian, you’re already making the 1st mistake in selling your home. 5 stars all the way.

Brian and his team are truly dedicated and committed partners. From the most intricate negotiations, to the smallest details, he and his team always came through. They were highly in touch with the market conditions, generated interest, and ultimately closed the deal above our target price. Above and beyond on all aspects.

Brian represented my wife and I in the sale of our home in Outer Mission SF and ultimately helped us get the selling price we were hoping for. Brian is extremely knowledgeable about the local housing markets and was very attentive to our needs as a seller in a challenging market. Brian was consistently available whenever we had questions and did an excellent job in maintaining clear communication with us. From the initial discussion about putting our house on the market, to getting us the offer we wanted, and throughout the closing process, Brian and his team were always professional and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Brian as an agent for buying or selling a home and will absolutely use him again for any future real estate needs.

Brian and his team have been very patient and helpful with our multiple purchases!

I've worked with Brian for the past two home transactions I've made and will without a doubt use him again. He managed our family through the process of selling a house during a global pandemic and purchasing a new one - such a complex journey and his expertise and tenaciousness made the deals happen.

Brian and his team guided us through the sale of our house in the middle of the Covid pandemic. The process was obviously complicated by the awful situation happening in the world. Brian provided valuable insight, recommendations on options as we navigated the market, and ultimately developed a plan leading to a very successful outcome. Throughout the process, Brian always presented options with the positives and potential downsides. The pandemic environment meant we were dealing with many unknowns. Brian's research, market knowledge, and consultative approach helped us stay calm through the process and sell the house within 4 days on officially going on the market. Brian, and Sally from his team, are absolute gems!

I initially met Brian because he was the seller's agent for a property I was buying and I thought he handled his role with intelligence, professionalism, and tact. So when it was time to sell my property about 6 years later, I reached out to him to represent me. Unfortunately we had just entered a difficult sales period and at the same time, my property was directly affected by the city's homeless crisis. Selling my property took far longer than we had anticipated. So I'd like to add one more adjective to describe Brian: tenacious. Brian, or his associate Raymond, was trying to the sell the property almost every week for almost a year! While I dropped the price a couple of times, he never pushed me to - he always let me lead in pricing conversations. Ultimately we did sell and I think we had the best outcome we could have hoped for. I'd highly recommend Brian to anyone selling their property in San Francisco. I still live in SF and should I want to sell my current place, Brian will again be the first person that I call.
