Charlie’s 10-Year Real Estate Journey with Bryan Ochse & The Media West Team

Charlie and his wife Nicole began working with Bryan Ochse over a decade ago, when they were just 23 years old and stepping into the world of real estate for the first time. With no experience—just a sense that “it was time to buy something”—they were referred to Bryan. From that very first interaction, Bryan proved to be more than just an agent. He became a trusted guide who approached their journey with honesty, expertise, and a clear understanding of their long-term goals.
Bryan helped Charlie and Nicole identify a strong investment property, steering them away from homes that looked appealing but lacked real potential. Thanks to Bryan’s guidance, they purchased a home that not only suited their needs but also turned out to be a great financial decision. Just two years later, they sold the property at a significant profit—exactly as Bryan had predicted.
Since then, Charlie and his family have relied on Bryan for multiple transactions, including selling their second home during the uncertainty of the pandemic and securing their current home in one of the most competitive markets to date. With over 20 competing offers on the table, Bryan’s strategy and negotiation skills helped them come out on top without overpaying. Time and again, he’s put them in the right position to succeed.
Over the years, they’ve made offers on four properties and successfully purchased three—each time with Bryan leading the way. Charlie has always appreciated that Bryan plays to win. His deep knowledge of the market, honest communication, and commitment to doing what’s best for his clients have made him a standout professional in every way.
For Charlie and Nicole, working with Bryan has never just been about buying or selling a house—it’s been about making smart, confident decisions that set their family up for long-term success. After more than 10 years, they continue to trust Bryan not only as their real estate expert but as a key part of their financial journey.
