Thinking about buying a home? Let's start with the basics...

If you’re considering buying a home in Walnut Creek, the East Bay, or anywhere in California, it can feel overwhelming—especially if you’re not sure where to begin. The good news? You don’t have to do it alone.

Hi, I’m Brendan Moran with the 5 Star Team, and I’ve helped hundreds of buyers navigate the real estate process right here in Walnut Creek and the greater East Bay. Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make, and having the right guidance is critical.

Why You Need a Real Estate Professional

The first step is partnering with a trusted real estate agent—someone who is dedicated to protecting your interests. Without the right representation, you could miss out on key opportunities or even lose money. My role is to guide you through every phase of the home-buying journey, from financing options to negotiating offers and closing the deal.

The Best Part? It’s Free to Work with Me

Many buyers don’t realize this, but hiring a buyer’s agent doesn’t cost you anything. That’s because the seller pays all broker commissions in California. The seller already has an agent working hard for them—shouldn’t you have someone working just as hard for you?

We Help You Make Smart Decisions

At Ask Brendan, our goal is to simplify the buying process and make it as stress-free as possible. We’ll help you:

  • Understand the total cost of buying a home, including closing costs, taxes, and insurance

  • Explore lender programs that may help reduce your upfront costs

  • Find the right home in a neighborhood that fits your lifestyle

  • Submit a strong offer with competitive terms

  • Navigate inspections, contingencies, and escrow smoothly

We’re With You for the Long Haul

We don’t just help you buy—we help you build a future. Many of our clients return to us again and again because they know we’ll deliver honest advice, smart strategies, and exceptional service every step of the way.
