Testimonials

Over the past 32 years, Brad has represented us on numerous purchases and sales. His degree of professionalism requires experience, research, attention to detail, communication, patience, forward-moving thinking, and trusting what you know. Because of his extraordinary talent and ability to blend all these tools into a cohesive plan for the properties he represents or the ones he is contending for on a buyer's behalf, the top of the real estate mountain is again where Brad can plant his flag. And it is why he has attained the top 1% of all Agents in Contra Costa County and why we have used him for our house selling and buying in Contra Costa County these past 30+ years. Thank you, Brad, for again rewarding our faith in your talents and abilities to navigate the markets.

We just had the opportunity to work with Brad Gothberg for the third time. Not only did he help us purchase our first home, but also our second home, and we just closed the sale of our rental property. Each transaction was very smooth, and our recent sale exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Brad, for all your hard work! I strongly recommend Brad to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

This is my third transaction with Brad, and each experience has been consistently positive. Brad is knowledgeable about the market, highly responsive, and always take the time to walk through details in a clear, straightforward way. It took me a long time to find my last home, based on my constraints. However, Brad was patient and I never felt rushed or pressured. Across all three transactions, he has stayed organized, proactive, and on top of every detail. Communication has always been reliable, and I've felt informed and supported at every step. That level of consistency is why I keep coming back. I highly recommend Brad to anyone looking for a realtor they can trust longterm. I'm very grateful to have met Brad. He is truly a great guy!

Working with Brad was a great experience! He knows the market and is a great advocate for finding the right home. Highly recommend working with him.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Brad and his team guide us through a major life transition—selling our home of 26 years in El Cerrito and relocating to Lafayette. We needed a property with ADU potential, and Brad’s deep market knowledge and experience made all the difference. From start to finish, his wisdom, calm demeanor, and exceptional negotiating skills made a complex process feel seamless. We felt informed, supported, and completely confident at every step. Brad is a remarkable professional and an even better person. If you’re looking for a broker with integrity, expertise, and a proven track record, Brad is the one to call.

Brad has helped my wife, Mary Ann, me, and my daughter buy or sell 5 homes over the past 25 years. He is always responsive and on top of all the details relating to each transaction. He most recently helped us sell our rental, and it was a seamless sale for a price that was more than we expected. I wouldn't use anyone else.

Brad did a phenomenal job helping us through the entire process of prepping the home prior to sale. The sale process was extremely professional and smooth.

We had the pleasure of working with Brad on the sale of our long-time home. From start to finish he was nothing but professional, attentive, and reassuring. His great team presented ideas for updates — none unreasonable — all with the intent of making our home desirable in the current, more challenging market. Brad’s experience and expertise helped guide us throughout the process, which, thanks to all Brad’s efforts, was not a long process. And the bonus is Brad’s a really nice guy!

Many years ago, Brad assisted me with selling my condo and buying a house. His expertise and dedication left a lasting impression on me, so when it came time to put my house on the market recently, I knew exactly who to contact. Once again, Brad was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable, always looking out for his clients' best interests. Despite the challenges of a buyer's market, Brad managed to get my house listed and sold above the asking price in just over two weeks! His results truly speak for themselves. If you're in the market to buy or sell, I recommend reaching out to Brad. You won’t be disappointed with his exceptional service and commitment.

My wife and I had a great experience buying a house with Brad. He was recommended to us by my wife's co-worker. We reached out and he responded almost right away, which continued to be the case throughout the whole process - he's super responsive and willing to answer all sorts of questions that we had as it was our first time buying a house. He's very knowledgeable about the area, quality of the neighborhoods, and knows what to look for during showings. Sometimes he could tell whether we liked or weren't sure about a house before we even knew ourselves. He's also closely connected with other local agents and was critical to us navigating the offer process as well as escrow and closing. We would definitely, and probably will to our family/friends if when they look to buy in the area, recommend working with Brad.
