I'm a retired medical sales executive who's had a long time passion & interest in real estate. I bring a unique combination of sales & business acumen, negotiation expertise & client-focused service to the greater Placer County real estate market. I purchased my first investment property (multifamily, Truckee, Ca) in the late 1990s and have been an active real estate investor ever since. As a home flipper, I have a keen perspective on finding the hidden value & equity in homes. Following retirement, I became a licensed realtor in 2021 and have been a top producing agent ever since. I'd be happy to share lessons learned along the way to guide you in your next real estate transaction. When I’m not helping clients, I’m likely skiing, hiking, playing tennis or pickleball.

Bret is fantastic! Our purchase had a few curveballs and Bret was able to talk us through all of them while keeping us focused on the end goal. Bret was part advocate / part therapist

The best homes deserve the best agents
Redfin Premier agents are local luxury experts with years of experience buying and selling high-end homes. Only our best agents qualify to become Redfin Premier agents.
When you're ready to buy, your agent will know what it takes to write a winning offer for the most highly sought-after homes. And when it's time to sell, they will know how to price, prepare, and market your home, so it attracts qualified buyers and sells for top dollar.
Plus, keep more of the proceeds from your home sale by paying a 1% listing fee when you buy and sell with us, less than half of what brokerages commonly charge.
Meet Bret's Team
When you work with Redfin, one agent is responsible for your success, but you really get a whole team. Redfin agents work closely with a team of real estate professionals to ensure every sale closes without a hitch.
