I want to take a moment and tell you about someone who has had great influence on my life. Charles Brickell, Broker/Associate, at COMPASS. As you know, this is not something I have ever emailed before but it’s important to me. In 2004, I joined the Prudential California Realty’s Laguna Beach office and met Charles. During my time at that office, I held Charles in the highest regard. When it came time for my husband and I sell our home ten years later, I looked to Charles to handle our largest asset. Charles was able to accomplish the highest resale in the community, a record that still stands today. In 2015, when I was in charge of my Mother’s estate, again I called on Charles. Charles held a very successful and beautifully orchestrated open house. During that open house he was able to engage conversation with a man who, within a week, submitted a strong offer and the home closed within 30 days. Mark and I moved out of State in 2016. Since that time, Charles has called and stayed in touch with us. He is a gentleman who not only checks on friends but also his clients to genuinely see how they are doing. In November 2018 he called. Timing was amazing as we were in the midst of a terrible real estate transaction that we wanted to unwind according to ethics and law. Charles was gracious enough to explain how to handle what was sitting on our plate. Through his direction and guidance, this transaction was handled with dignity and grace and file closed within 48 hours. I can’t say enough about Charles. For all your real estate needs in Southern California, Charles is the man for the job. Once you have worked with Charles and incorporated him into your real planning, no one else will do.

"Charles Brickell was a terrific agent in every way. His vast experience, professionalism, and intuition made the processes of both selling our condo and buying a house not only easy but also fun! He provided us with timely and complete information and recommendations with every step. There is no one else I would turn to in Orange County for real estate related questions or transactions."

After buying and selling a few houses around the country, I can say unequivocally that Charles was the greatest real estate agent I've had. Professional, courteous, experienced, skilled, and always ready to answer questions and provide much-needed advice, he embodied all these must-have traits in an agent; but above and beyond that, Charles made the entire process fun (whenever possible). We will be recommending him to everyone we know; and if we buy or sell another home in Orange County, he'll be our go-to agent. Thanks, Charles!

Charles did a very good, professional job, and sold the property close to asking price within a few weeks. It was a pleasure to work with Charles, he took care of a lot of little, but to me otherwise time consuming items, for that I am very thankful.

My husband and I first met Charles as the selling agent on the purchase of our home in 2007. We were impressed by his expertise and he became our go to Realtor, handling several transactions for family members, including the recent sale of 2 more properties for us - to everyone's satisfaction. It is rare to find someone so knowledgeable and professional that you simply know all will be taken care of. This is Charles Brickell.

We have had Charles assist us in both buying and selling a home and he has not disappointed. His communication and follow thru is excellent. We have also recommended him to friends and they were pleased as well. He is very knowledgable about the market, a true professional!!!

Charles was fantastic to work with! Without his help in securing a get it done finance person (Steve Saucer) we would not have been able to do the deal. Charles, is just an over all good person, honest, hard working and fun to work with! You cannot go wrong with Charles!

Working with Charles to sell our home was one of the best decisions we made during our relocation process. His understanding of the area including schools, inventory, market conditions and price points helped us quickly move through the process of getting our home listed in order to get maximum value for our home. Throughout the showing cycle Charles kept us informed and personally hosted each open house and individual showing. His easy going style helped potential buyers feel at ease and helped them truly understand the personal and market value of our property. Once under contract, Charles again showed how valuable a great realtor partner can be by managing the process and making every aspect of the closing easier for us and our busy schedules. Even today Charles checks in with us in our new home and keeps us informed of life back in SoCal. I highly recommend Charles whether you are buying or selling!

Charles was a pleasure to deal with. From the moment he presented the offer to closing, he held our hand along the way. We would highly recommend him

Charles was efficient and went above and beyond what is expected of an agent from listing to closing. Also, Charles is very calm at what could be stressful points of the contingency portions of the sale so therefore, we remained calm. He has great follow through from beginning to end, and communicates through entire process. We enjoyed and respected Charles as an agent.

Charles Brickell has helped us find the perfect home which I never believed existed. He is a class act who is responsive, honest and sensitive to our needs. We would use him again however he just put us in our forever home. Thank you Charles!!

Charles represented me in a transaction to find and purchase a new home in Orange County. He is undoubtably one of the most diligent and thorough realtors I have had the pleasure to work with and was always considerate of my time and requirements. Charles was well prepared at every showing and did a great job of prescreening properties that fit the profile we were seeking. Charles knows the market and the surrounding areas. In addition, he has been very thoughtful in following up after the transaction closed. I highly recommend Charles as both a buyer's and seller's agent.
