Even as a boy, Brent Consedine had a passion for real estate. He felt deep down that he would work in the industry one day, and he was right. He not only has achieved his goal, but he also ignites his love of great homes and helping people find them in the agents he supervises as broker/manager of the Central San Diego, Mission Hills and Scripps Ranch offices of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties.
After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in marketing and public relations from California State University, Fullerton, Brent went to work in the life-sciences industry, helping find suitable donors with rare blood types. “Recruiting has always been a major component of my career, and that certainly helps in my current position,” he said.
He earned a California real estate license in 1996 and made the permanent career switch in 2004. His instincts proved correct as he worked his way up to managing his offices’ approximately 100 agents. Offering them exceptional training and support is his personal passion.

Keeping a 13,000-square-foot real estate office with about 100 desks, offices and meeting rooms filled with successful agents can be quite a challenge.
Unless you’re Chuck Sackett, manager of the La Mesa/El Cajon office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. With a real estate career launched in 1972, Chuck is chief recruiter for the sprawling agency overlooking Interstate 8. He came out of retirement a few years ago to bring strong leadership to the brokerage, and hasn’t left since.
“Recruiting is a major part of my responsibilities,” he said. ““I really enjoy that part of it. It’s a different day every day. Having so many people in the office, they’ve all got something they might need assistance with. So it’s fun to be able to help them out. It’s not necessarily that they need the answer, it’s that they need somebody to ratify that they’re doing the right thing. And giving new people the opportunity to make a pretty good living is very gratifying. You can do it out here if you apply yourself.”
