Garrett Chan - Pasadena, California

Sandy Carrillo

When hiring Garrett, we knew that we would be in safe hands in this difficult market. Not only is he an exceptional real estate agent but he is a gifted interior designer that became a selling point for us. Garrett was able to incorporate his design expertise in homes that we necessarily would pass up by essentially creating a vision for us that is practical and realistically attainable. Without Garrett, we wouldn’t be where we are at today. We recently closed on a home that needs some “work” but we were able to secure this hidden gem UNDER asking with seller credits. He created a vision for us and we are currently working with contractors to make our dream home into a reality. There is no way we would have been able to do this in today’s market without him. Aside from his down to earth and energetic personality, Garrett is professional and the absolute BEST in this real estate market. We plan to work with Garrett again and 1000% recommend him! Thanks Garrett!

As first-time homebuyers, we were fortunate to have Garrett guide us through the process. His expertise was evident from the start, making the entire home purchase journey seem effortless. What stood out most was Garrett's genuine concern for our needs, ensuring that every question we had was addressed—whether it pertained to us directly, the process, or involved discussions with the seller. His approach was the perfect blend of professionalism and warmth, making every interaction a pleasure. Garrett's background in interior design proved invaluable, enhancing our decision-making process. He wasn’t just focused on making a sale; he was invested in finding a home that resonated with our aspirations and lifestyle. Garrett's proactive approach in identifying suitable alternatives when options seemed scarce was indispensable, especially in a fast-moving market. Additionally, his ability to connect us with reputable local contractors for potential renovations was a significant advantage. Without hesitation, we would work with Garrett again—he has earned lifelong clients in us.

Garrett….a true professional and he knows his stuff! I have worked with many agents, both buying and selling, but Garrett was incredibly personable, understood our needs and met our timeline. He is sharp, savvy and most of all, attentive to the details. We would highly recommend Garrett in all your real estate needs. Not everyone has the answers to all your questions, but he made you feel secure that he will go find those answers if he didn’t know it.

We would highly recommend his services and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again in any future transactions. I not only have a real estate broker now, but also a friend. Thank you for this amazing experience, Garrett. You made it seem effortless yet we know how much work you put in behind the scenes. You are appreciated.

Garrett has been an amazing agent during my house hunt! He responds in a timely manner and answers any questions I have! Buying a home can be stressful but Garrett was really thorough and walked me through the entire process. He was patient with all my questions and super knowledgeable. He gave me tips on how to maintain the home and where to buy quality furniture. I highly recommend you work with Garrett for any home purchases!

We have worked with Garrett since 2015. We purchased our first home with him in 2015. Then, he did an amazing job selling that house in 2020. Most recently in 2022 he helped up buy again. Garrett was there for us, helped us think through everything, and ultimately helped us find and buy the perfect property for us! He is very professional, kind, honest, and has a great sense of humor. In our indecisiveness he was patient and put up with us. We are grateful for finding an amazing agent like Garrett and would recommend him to all our friends. Garrett is the best!

I've now worked with Garrett twice and plan to use him again in the future. You will never find another realtor like Garrett. He is available to his clients, meticulous with his work, has a great design eye, and makes what could be a stressful experience fun. He knows the market and my partner and I have come to really trust his guidance.
We worked with him as sellers recently and his background in architectural interior design helped us identify what needed to be upgraded while keeping to our budget. Undertaking renovations before selling was a breeze with Garrett's guidance and support.
He's a realtor who can deliver efficient results. I highly recommend him for anyone searching for a realtor. He's the best.

Garrett is an amazing real estate agent. When my wife and I moved to Pasadena from Denver this past year, Garrett came highly recommended, and we can understand why. He knows the Pasadena market and various neighborhoods. He's a good listener and took the time to understand our needs, style and budget. Garrett showed us a number of homes, each time taking note of our likes and dislikes to eventually find us the perfect home. One of the most remarkable things about Garrett is his ability to "envision" the home, making suggestions for remodel ideas, and think through furniture placements and decorating touches. Garrett is honest, polite, knowledgeable and attentive. We could not have asked for more!
