Growing up in Encinitas, Brent attended San Dieguito High School where he was a second-generation graduate. After high school, Brent attended Mira Costa College and UCSD while majoring in Political Science. During his time in college, Brent played baseball and earned All-American honors in his senior season at UCSD. He was selected in the major league draft by the Boston Red Sox. For the next seven years, Brent pursued his lifelong dream of playing professional baseball (including one year in Taiwan).
Seeing North County evolve since the 1970’s has given Brent an understanding for the area that is difficult to match. His love of the area and all it has to offer is apparent: “I’ve had the chance to live in so many places and have been tempted a few times to relocate. However, every time I return to San Diego, it reminds me why I don’t want to live anywhere else…there’s just no other place like it!”
It was while attending college that Brent met his wife Christina, a graduate of Carlsbad High School. After their marriage, Christina and Brent decided to settle in her hometown of Carlsbad where they still reside today. With a passion for family and community, Brent can often be seen at the beach, parks, and sports fields around Carlsbad. Brent’s two children, Kyle and Chloe, are both grown, but he spent a number of years coaching his son’s sports teams through the years, including spending two years as the varsity baseball pitching coach for Carlsbad High School.
Brent comes to Shafran Realty Group as one of the true area experts. His extensive knowledge of the area and neighborhoods has been invaluable to hundreds of past clients. Coupled with a strong competitive drive that helped him throughout his professional sports career, Brent brings enthusiasm to the business that has translated into a tremendous real estate career. Since joining The Shafran Realty Group in 2000, Brent has consistently been one of the top-producing agents on the team, and also throughout North County San Diego. In 2021, Brent's son, Kyle, joined him at Shafran Realty, adding a new dynamic to their collaborative success.
