“We were lucky enough to work with Brian on both purchasing a new home and selling our old home. He was incredibly responsive from the very first interaction and always put our best interests at heart. He was truly a consultant and helped us think through the pro’s and con’s of each house we looked at. Being in sales myself, I really appreciated his approach because he was never about the commission, but wanted to ensure we were in the right home for now and our future. Brian took the time to understand our individual priorities and urged us to make our list about what was most important to us in the house search. He used this list to help us navigate the competitive housing market and feel confident about our offer and eventual purchase of the home! More than anything, Brian is one of the most personable realtors we have ever worked with and we look forward to working with him for many years! I not only consider Brian our realtor, but truly a friend.”

“Simply put, Brian is the cream of the crop in a very crowded field. He delivered everything we needed and wanted in a realtor (including many things we didn’t know we needed) and quickly become a trusted friend. His responsiveness is second none as well as his knowledge of and ability to navigate the Lamorinda market. He was patient with us when necessary and gently pushed us along when we needed to progress. We had very narrow parameters we expected to stay within in terms of location and features and he worked tirelessly over multiple years to find us the perfect property (off-market!) and navigate an unprecedented time all while getting us a great deal. Post-close he’s continued to be an incredible asset in getting our new home up and running as we undertook several renovations while trying to move with two under two. Brian is the best, we’d recommend him to absolutely anyone and you will be incredibly well cared for during what can be a stressful time for many.”

“Over the years I have worked with a number of realtors, some better than others but I would not recommend any of them as highly as I do Brian Rochford. He was my support and guide for selling a home I had built and lived in for almost 48 years. His in-depth knowledge of the real estate market was invaluable and his thoughtful planning for preparing the property for listing paved the way to a successful sale in very little time. The outstanding group of suppliers he uses for inspections, construction, installations, staging, etc. executed his vision and transformed this long lived-in property into one that would appeal to much younger buyers. As with any large undertaking there are bound to be a few glitches along the way – some more serious than others. But Brian always approached these situations calmly and thoughtfully. He had great ideas and was always readily accessible. From start to finish he was a pleasure to work with.” - Portnoff Family

“Before working with Brian, I had no idea what the difference between a good realtor and an extraordinary realtor was. We worked with Brian to both buy and sell our house in the east bay - and the results for both transactions were phenomenal. We could not have asked for someone who was more responsive and dedicated to ensuring that our expectations were not only met, but exceeded. Brian attends to every detail of the buy/sell process and is clearly dedicated to his clients and their success. I highly recommend Brian as a realtor in the San Francisco East Bay.”

Where you belong.
Over the last two years, over 100 families trusted me with their homes and I’m sincerely grateful to each and every one.
This unique time taught us the importance of family and community - of a place where we belong. As a Lamorinda native and current resident, I know what it’s like to grow up and thrive in our community. I graduated from the local school system, I still play local sports, and my parents still reside in their original Lafayette home from the 1970’s. As a top producing agent for 22 years, I take pride in treating all of my clients like family. I look forward to including you in my family of clients in the future.
Brian
