Brandon was the Owner and CEO of several real estate service companies including Montecino & Associates in California.

Brandon sold this company to Coldwell Banker in 2010 giving him the freedom to relocate his family to Bend Oregon. Brandon transitioned back into sales specializing in marketing luxury homes and ranches. Brandon states this was a niche market given Central Oregon’s numerous properties consisting of luxury homes on acreage.

There he aligned with Sotheby’s International Realty recognized for their strategic position in marketing luxury properties and specializing in serving the needs of high-net-worth clientele. Brandon was so impressed with Sotheby’s brand that he made the decision to continue his relationship with Sotheby’s when he returned to Central Oregon in late 2024.
Brandon’s return to Central Oregon was influenced by the decision to be closer to family, milder weather, and the opportunities that Central Oregon offers to him and his family.
A Vision for Local Market Growth
Having lived and worked in California, Oregon, and Montana, Brandon brings a unique perspective to Bend’s real estate market. His experience with California’s complex real estate transactions gives him an edge when navigating Oregon’s relatively simpler paperwork and processes.

He notes that Bend has evolved significantly since he first moved to the area. “The market has doubled in price, and the economy continues to grow with new businesses, construction, and increased activity in local hubs like Northwest Crossings,” he shares.
