About Us
So San Diego—and so YOU. We're passionate about connecting people with their perfect mid-century modern homes in America's Finest City.
Our Story
Founded with a passion for San Diego's unique architectural heritage, So San Diego Real Estate specializes in the timeless appeal of mid-century modern homes. We understand that these aren't just houses—they're pieces of art, history, and lifestyle.
As a real estate agent, Brandon brings a unique advantage to every transaction through his extensive mortgage industry background. With 25+ years in mortgage processing, underwriting, and closing, he understands the financing side of real estate like few agents can. This dual expertise as both a real estate professional and mortgage specialist means smoother transactions, faster closings, and the ability to guide clients through complex financing scenarios that might challenge other agents.
Brandon's passion for mid-century modern architecture isn't just professional—it's personal. His last home in Atlanta was a mid-century modern masterpiece that he personally designed and remodeled, transforming it into an authentic period showcase. This hands‑on experience with MCM renovation and design gives him unparalleled insight into what makes these properties special and valuable as a real estate investment.
Now focused on real estate in San Diego while continuing to provide mortgage services, Brandon combines his architectural expertise with deep financing knowledge to help families discover the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern living.
