I have worked with Tim and Brian ...
I have worked with Tim and Brian on 3 Real Estate deals. They are a true dream to work with. No games or gimmicks. They will do the work to give you the best possible outcome. They go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and happy with the deal. These two know the market and are totally professional & honest.
I'm always sceptical of getting ripped off when buying and selling these two have changed that and given me the confidence to know I'm getting the best deal possible.

This review is long overdue. ...
This review is long overdue.
I was looking to rent my condo almost two years ago at this point. Yelp has always done right by me so I trusted the recommendations. I spoke with a few other property managers and everyone was wanting to rent my condo for a lot less. Brian agreed to rent it at a price we were comfortable with.
Brian was very good at communicating and was patient with all of our questions. My husband met with him initially and then we met with him again after I reviewed the contract at home.
Everything looked good. We updated a few things in the condo in preparation to rent it and he gave us a few other good suggestions as well. Brian was a property manager I felt knew what he was doing and we got the sense he would take care of everything for us.
The monthly amount for his services is great and we have peace of mind with Brian's services. We have a landlord portal to sign into, we get our yearly tax form and an email each month right before we receive our deposit. It's also nice that if the tenant puts in a maintenance request, we receive an email as a courtesy, but Brian takes care of everything!
We are absolutely pleased with Brian as our property manager and when we decide to purchase another investment property we will absolutely ask Brian to help us out with that as well. We cannot recommend Brian enough!

Hired Brian to do a few BPO's for our company (Broker Price Opinions). He went above and beyond what was asked for and got all of the reports done for us within 3 days which was no easy feat due to having to visit each property in person (8 properties scattered across Riverside and San Bernardino Counties). Very happy with their professionalism and motivation to get the job done. If they are on top of their game like this for a few BPO's then I definitely trust them for any of our companies upcoming listings in their market. Excellent market knowledge and attention to detail.

It is my pleasure to review Brian Bean ...
It is my pleasure to review Brian Bean and complement the wonderful recent transaction we had with him. This was our first home sale and our second home purchase. We had good experiences with agents in the past, however, our experience with Brian went above and beyond.
First, Brian is a very kind, friendly, thoughtful and honest individual, which was apparent with all aspects of our experience. These characteristics exemplify the ideal real estate professional and illuminate why working with Brian was so extraordinary.
Second, we found Brian to be an excellent teacher, communicator and counselor as we prepared to sell our home, which included many uncertainties as first time sellers. We always felt important as clients and that we could contact Brian regarding all questions at almost any time. At no time did we feel unprepared or naive as Brian had prepared us for many possibilities.
Third, Brian's intuition, experience, thoughtfulness and skill were all apparent with evaluating our property, pricing it accurately and knowing the current real estate microclimate. Brian seems to be especially attentive to the current status of the market and implements that knowledge into all aspects of his work and preparation for us, as clients.
Fourth, Brian was readily available with showing us potential properties. We never had a problem seeing a potential property and many times we were able to view one with minimal notice. He also was able to envision what property would be functional for our family (down to a specific development and model). When something came on the market that fit this idea, Brian was even more efficient at arranging a viewing and having an offer ready to go. I am convinced that we would not have ended up buying the house we did without Brian's diligence, skill and experience.
Finally, Brian's assistant, Deedee Haro, is an effective complement to Brian's skill. Deedee was organized, knowledgeable, and efficient to carry out all other components of both transactions. Her skills are perfectly suited to this position and we greatly appreciate her professionalism and diligence.
In summary, Brian is not just a good agent, but an outstanding agent to work with and have a great transaction. Brian and team will not rest until you have met your real estate goals and given you an extraordinary real estate experience.

And now, for the rest of the story...
And now, for the rest of the story ... Did I mention we were very "particular" about what we were looking for? Well, Tim, Brian, and Jennifer patiently, took us to see many great houses. Some involved searches they performed on our behalf. Others properties were homes that we found. We truly believe that God had a plan, and our home wasn't "ready" for us when we were looking. The house became "ready" for us on Valentine's Day 2014, and Tim & Brian's team was ready to act. We immediately placed an offer, and 17 days after our offer was accepted... we were moving in!
We have now been in our home for 9 months. We have met the neighbors, invited friends for dinner, held birthday parties, and hosted holiday gatherings. By this time, many buyers and sellers forget about their real estate agents and move forward with their lives. We continue to thank God for this team, and the home they helped us acquire.
Once again, Dream Big/Homeowner Advocates/Realtors surpassed our expectations of responsiveness, customer care and service.
Thank you Tim, Brian, Jennifer and the rest of the team! You guys are great!"
Thank you!!

Brian is our Realtor for life!
Brian is our Realtor for life! Here's why: 1. He is our advocate and holds our interests and needs more important than completing the transaction. For example, when my wife and I bought our home recently our opening bid was countered with a offer which removed contingencies. Brian explained exactly what the contingencies were and the risks we were taking by removing them. Brian was willing to withdraw our offer and walk away to look for a different house. We felt no pressure ever to deal outside our comfort level. 2. Brian puts in extraordinary time and effort to make sure we were knowledgeable empowered buyers. We were new to the whole buying process. Brian spent hours with us making sure we understood everything in the mountain of paperwork we were confronted with. He always returned our calls and texts quickly and did an inordinate amount of hand holding and teaching never making us feel we were taking his time. 3. Brian built and gained our trust. Through out the process Brian showed us over and over again and again what a true professional he is. Confronted with seller and lender confusion and obstacles Brian rose above personalities and ironed out issues keeping us informed while knowing he was handling things with our interests number one on his mind.
For those and many more reasons Brian Bean is our realtor for life. We have and will continue to refer our friends to Brian.

Brian Bean and his team ...
Brian Bean and his team of experienced professionals were very nice to deal with. They were Honest, up front, and problem solving at all times. After our initial contact with Brian, and setting up the sale of our property, we then worked almost exclusively with Jennifer Garrell from the "Dream Big" office, who did an incredible job in all faucets of the transaction. Jennifer's professional enthusiasm and firm demeanor with potential buyers, was greatly appreciated. We had asked Brian and Jennifer to finish the sale of the house ASAP so the family could move on with there Lives, and Dream Big did everything to close the sale of the property very quickly. I have owned many real estate properties in my life and have deal with many real estate agents and companies over the years, but Dream Big Real Estate has been the most enjoyable and easiest to work with company I have ever dealt with. You can trust Dream Big Real Estate to handle the sale or purchase of your property 100 %. Thanks again to Dream Big for helping are family, you guys ROCK !

Through the years we have had many experiences ...
Through the years we have had many experiences in buying and selling homes. Our greatest experience has been working with Tim Hardin, our current real estate agent. He is professional with everyone he comes in contact with. His hard work and dedication 3 years ago helped our home sell within a few weeks. We are currently in escrow for another home and due to his excellence and integrity as a real estate agent we are planning to close escrow in a few weeks. Thank you Tim for being so thorough and for paying close attention to all details related to the real estate business and putting your clients best interest first. Dream Big Real Estate is who you want for your selling and buying home needs.

Choosing to short sell our house ...
Choosing to short sell our house was a difficult decision for us. Brian and Tim as realtors were there when we needed guidance and expert information. They laid out the options and let us make our decisions. We never felt pressured or alone as we navigated the confusion of dealing with the banks. Matt was an incredible agent in keeping on top of the banks and helped us stay calm through the process. Jennifer was an excellent agent and kept things moving for us. I especially liked the online services that helped me stay up to date with the latest events. I could upload documents and post questions with ease. Each one of these people gave us their best, but as a team they are the pinnacle of excellence. Work with them and you'll be getting the best.

We recently used Dream Big Real estate (Tim Hardin as our agent) to sell our current home as well as buy our next home. Tim, did a first rate job helping us to get the best possible price on the sale of our home. Tim and his team were very organized and made the entire process very smooth and painless. When we started searching for our next home, Tim sat down with my wife and I and made sure he fully understood what we were looking for in our next home. He also did a great job of setting realistic expectations for our search process and found us the right home in the area we wanted. We were extremely pleased with Tim and his team over at Dream Big and I would recommend them to anyone.

My husband and I called Brian Bean to help us with short-selling a rental house. We had read Brian's articles in the Press Enterprise and were impressed with the expert advice he shared. From our first phone conversation through day the final papers were signed Brian and his team were there for us. We plan to use Dream Big Reality for all of our Real Estate needs from now on. We highly recommend Brian and Dream Big!

Brian did a wonderful job in guiding me through the selling of my rental property during the Pandemic and with difficult tenants.

I have worked with Brian Bean on two transactions, the purchase of a property and then the sale of the same property. I found working with him very comfortable knowing that he was always there to answer my questions.
He promptly answered my emails and telephone calls. The transactions went smoothly and would not hesitate to work with him on another real estate venture in the future.

... We are both so glad we found Brian. ...
My wife and I knew nothing about buying when we started our journey. We are both so glad we found Brian. On day one he educated us on the process of home buying. He went over everything step by step, and he even informed us on the lingo. He worked with our budget, and our wants in a home. He found many good options. He was never pushy, or in a hurry. We never felt pressured to get into something we didn't like or want. When we did find the home we wanted, Brian took care of everything. He put in our offers. Everything was so easy. The paperwork is all done online with digital signatures. You can even sign your paperwork from your smartphone! It really helps when you're away from your computer. Once our offer was accepted, Brian and Jennifer, his assistant, pushed the escrow company into action. They helped us work through many issues that came up in the process. We were in our home in about 2 1/2 months. Working with Brian and his team made life a lot less stressful. Brian if you're reading this, Alma and I want to thank you and Jennifer for all of the hard work. We are enjoying our new home. We couldn't have done it without you. Thank you so much!!!

... I knew he would be an excellent choice ...
I met Brian Bean, Dream Big, when I rented my current property here in Riverside. Since he was a "dream" property manager, I knew he would be an excellent choice for the sale of my home when I learned of his home owner advocacy and easy-going approach to the business of real estate (he is definitely above all of the high pressure, big promises/no work listing agents I've experienced in the past). I had a lot of competition in my new-build neighborhood, but my Dream Big team (Brian and Jennifer) stayed on top of the marketing and hosted several open houses and kept me posted on all progress. When I least expected it, 3 offers at once, Brian made suggestions to help with smooth counter negotiating and I sold my home to the highest bidder. The escrow process was quick and all office personnel (Jennifer and Leslie) were pleasant and efficient. We closed right on time, even one day early. I highly recommend Brian Bean and the Dream Big team for property management (I am a current renter in Riverside) and as a realtor (I am a client with a Dream Big "SOLD" sign in Beaumont).

You want a realtor who can handle any of your real estate needs? Dream Big is your answer. Brian Bean and Matt Carmean walked us through a difficult short sale with confidence and extreme knowledge of the process. They were always available if we had any questions or concerns.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure ...
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Brian Bean and the amazing team at Dream Big Real Estate. We were struggling with the very challenging and complex short sale process for over a year finding no success with another agent. We then turned to Brian and the team at Dream Big and within a few short months, our property was sold. Dream Big's professionalism was very impressive as they expertly handled every detail of our very complicated and stressful transaction. Brian's expertise in all things real estate and dedication to getting the job done are what made the difference. It was a delight working with folks with such strong work ethic and the knowledge to just get the job done! We look forward to working with Brian and Dream Big again and would highly recommend their services without hesitation.

I hired Brian Bean to sell my mother's home ...
I hired Brian Bean to sell my mother's home that is in probate... it was imperative I find someone who was extremely knowledgeable in marketing and in selling, along with all the nuances of selling a home in probate ... I found the perfect person in Brian... I was a CA real estate broker for 20 years, now living out of state so I needed to trust someone with confidence and expertise to do the job... Brian was the man!!! if it wasn't for him in court certain particulars to the judge it could have gone badly and prolonged the process considerably, thank u Brian for saving the day!!! needless to say I have dealt with lots of agents in my day and u r up there with the best... if u r looking for someone who is great at what they do call Brain for any of u'r real estate needs... I need to give a shout out to Jennifer as well, I found her to be totally on top of her game and so efficient it was great working with her... great job both of u... God bless u both in all u'r endeavors and may the Lord guide u in all u do... San Dee Sinclair

I met Brian a few years ago and would not consider doing a transaction without him. The level of commitment is unparalleled and the professionalism refreshing. Brian, Tim and their team are very knowledgeable, proficient and honest to a fault. Most agents consider me difficult because I am involved (often they were not)... Brian makes me so at ease because he keeps us current with quick messages on progress and changes. We never need to "get involved" to keep things on track. The service is awesome! In the last 36 years I have been involved in many Real Estate transactions, completed a half dozen without an agent and currently have close friends and family that are Realtors. For the past few years and moving forward for all that I do I have a personal agent; Brian Bean - Dream Big Real Estate.

... Brian Bean and Dream Big Real Estate stand head and shoulders above the rest. ...
In all the years I have dealt with real estate agents, Brian Bean and Dream Big Real Estate stand head and shoulders above the rest. It only took one meeting for him to address all our concerns with the short sale of our house. Brian is a man of his word, efficient and a genuinely caring person, a rare commodity these days. Everyone on his team is highly professional and Matt's online updates bring incredible peace of mind knowing the process is in such capable hands. Thanks to all.

I honestly don't think anybody else could have pulled off what Brian did. ...
I honestly don't think anybody else could have pulled off what Brian did. We had initially gone with a different agent that messed things up so bad our lender was serving us foreclosure papers. Our lender had already told us we had no chance of doing a short sale and that too many months past the deadline had already elapsed. We then contacted Brian and were pretty sure there was no hope for our situation. However, he advised us that he would take care of everything and did a pretty good job of calming us down and reassuring us that the giant mess was going to be resolved. Sure enough, he delivered, and it was nothing short of miraculous (and professional). Enough said!
