Brock Real Estate

If you are looking for a sharp, get to point, does what they say kind of agent, Brock and his team are the ones to hire. Their advice and expertise have been critical in the buying and selling of properties.

I find it so interesting that its either 1 star if that or 5 stars (family, friends, begging for a good review)
My experience with them was a disaster. Almost broke the deal.

I am a first time home buyer, so there were a lot of things I was unsure when it came to purchasing a house.
I was first working with a real estate agent that was great, but wasn’t great about keeping up with me, and I didn’t want to have to be the one to reach out all the time, so, I decided to check around and see if I could find someone else and was referred to Brock.
Brock was fantastic. I’ve read the negative reviews here, and while I can’t speak to their experience, I can say that as a buyer, having him on your side is priceless.
— Responsive
I can’t recall a time I had to wait more than a few hours for a text or call back, and typically it was within an hour. And I texted and called a LOT.
I also was scouring the market on my own, and would send places I liked to him daily. He would respond and quickly contact their agents and be back to me within a day with open house info and where they were at with offers.
— He’s extremely knowledgable about the market.
Worried about under bidding or over bidding? While he leaves it up to you, he will absolutely have advice as to which route to go.
— He rolls with the punches (and helps you roll too).
We got offers accepted at 2 homes (Both with a large field of offers, and ours were accepted primarily due to Brock being on the ball), the first a triplex, and the second a duplex.
After getting into inspections on the first, our mortgage broker realized that he’d made a mistake and missed the fact that you can’t buy a duplex with an FHA loan without both Co-​Signers occupying the property.
Disappointingly, this pushed us out of the running and we had to move on. But, Brock just shrugged and said things come and go, when you get what you end up with, you’ll be happier.
Our second offer was on a duplex. The selling agent was slow to respond and difficult to pin down but Brock kept on it through the process and our offer was accepted!
We loved the place, much more than the first. Out of all the homes we saw it was the one we wanted to be ours.
Then… We found out that even though the property was listed as a single family home, it was actually a duplex that the agent had listed as a single family home to get more attention. So, we were back in the same boat as the first offer.
Big disappointment.
Fortunately, Brock came through and pointed out that with the price drop, I could possibly get this place on my own with no co-​signer with the rental I’d be getting. Which turned out to be exactly right.
I am now the proud owner of what I consider to be one of the best priced buys in Echo Park, and Brock made it look both fun, and easy.
tl;dr, As a buyer you are going to be much more at ease with Brock in your corner. Could not recommend more.

Brock is so knowledgeable about buying a home. He really is a seasoned pro and his confidence and certainty regarding the business is reassuring. And this guy is the king of income properties. If you are looking to make some passive income, there is no one better. HIGHLY recommend. He is such an expert I couldn’t feel more comfortable with an agent.
Plus his office is awesome:

Brock is an unethical realtor. We sold a house through him. The tenants kept writing emails to me about how unprofessional he and his staff were. To make things worse, one of his agents ended up buying the house, and Brock was disclosing the details of other offers to that person the whole time. His agent mysteriously outbid the others by $ 1,000. Twice. He claimed it was a coincidence and only disclosed the relationship to me the day I accepted the offer.
It got worse after that. They then tried to hit me with huge requests for repairs even though when I hired Brock I told him one thing emphatically: «it’s an as-​is sale. No requests for repair. Don’t even bother». But he bothered, although we denied the requests. The whole process was irritating.
The kicker? A few years later he sees a friend of mine at a party and starts to bad mouth me! Brock is sore because I had a lengthy conversation with him about the ethical responsibilities a broker has to his clients. Rather than simply learning from the mistake of trying to rip someone off, he criticizes his clients to their friends. Not very smart, and it earned him this review. I should have gone to the California Association of Realtors to file a complaint against his license at the time, but I let it go. If I hear anymore from him though, I will be happy to file that complaint. Buyer, or seller, beware!

Brock was the listing agent for the home we purchased, so he represented the sellers. He was unbelievably unprofessional and an absolute chore to deal with. When he bothered to respond to my agent’s emails and texts, he was dismissive and terse. He even re-​activated the property’s listing when we were literally days from closing escrow, which is technically legal, but not ethical. As soon as we took possession of the property, my husband and I gleefully took down the Brock Real Estate sign and threw it in the trash. I do not trust this guy.

Brock helped us buy two houses and sell one over the past five years. After we bought our first house with him, I just couldn’t imagine another agent being as «on it» as he was in the whole exchange. He excels at being available to talk, showing houses, explaining details and figuring out strategies. If you don’t want to dilly dally around, Brock is the realtor for you. Plus, he’s just a nice guy.

Was able to get me into Hollywood Hills home in 2012 when the market was white hot. Knew what I was looking for, found it in 3 weeks, we wrote offer when there were five others ahead of us, closed escrow 4 weeks later. Then his office found a tenant for my old house which I was keeping as rental.

After a year of working with three different buyer’s agents, I met
Brock and it was a whole different world. He basically took me
shopping, and I had a blast. Buying homes should always be this easy.
I will definitely call Brock when it’s time for the next house.
Use this guy for sure!
