Brandon Goethals

Brandon Goethals, founder, owner, and realtor at The File Group, has been serving the Orange County area for five years. Born and raised in Northern California, Brandon has always called the West Coast home. The weather is a major perk of living here, but the people and community created are just as bright.

Brandon spent many of his years in the golf industry, both as a player and coach. He is a former professional golfer and collegiate golf coach. Throughout his years in the golf industry, Brandon secured 4 Conference championships, 3 NCAA Regional Championships, and 3 NCAA Final Four trophies. Brandon also worked for the PGA Tour as head of sales for the Northern Trust Open. After spending most of his life in sports, five years ago his wife convinced him to start a real estate company. This was just the right type of encouragement Brandon needed to start The File Group, a successful real estate agency based out of Corona del Mar.

The mentality that Brandon and his business operate from sets him apart from others. With everything they do, Brandon is always striving for that next level. This includes how he treats his clients, their consistent communication, and tools that help them sell homes quicker. Everything they do is executed at a high level, providing their client’s true value. This value and competitive drive extend beyond real estate, as one might imagine, including how they provide value to their clients and SOI.

Brandon and The File Group are unique as they work with everyone and anyone looking to buy and sell a home. The joy of helping a first-time buyer find their space is incredible, and so is working with clients that are selling their 26 million dollar home. Brandon and his team have experience on every level, guaranteeing their clients next-level service throughout each step. By using this mentality and passion, Brandon and his team have been able to crush their 2021 annual goal of over 100 million dollars in sales after just five years in the industry.

When Brandon isn’t leveling up his skills or his business, he enjoys spending time with his family. He and his wife Janelle have three children and two dogs. Their young and active family is often busy with sports, but Brandon wouldn’t have it any other way. With golf being such a large part of Brandon's life, he likes to stay involved. They are members of the Santa Ana Country Club, where they enjoy spending time with friends. Brandon loves the community aspect that the area offers, so he and his family like to get involved and give back.

"Brandon and Janelle at The File Group were extremely professional from start to finish. I would highly recommend them to help you sell your home. They sold my home in record closing time. I am not sure any other team could have done what they did. " - Greg C.

" Our experience with Brandon and his team was near flawless. We went from discussing the market to closed on our first home in under 35 days and we couldn't be happier with the way things worked out. I met Brandon several months prior to even considering making a real estate purchase with my wife. Over the course of that period of time he made a clear effort to learn about my business, connect me with other professionals, and genuinely took an interest in being of service should the need ever arise. In early June of this year, I began to evaluate our entry into the market and reached out to Brandon in an effort to make an educated decision about whether or not to pursue our first potential purchase. During that conversation he demonstrated a clear understanding of the local area, the current financial climate, and how this purchase fit into our family's long term goals. Beyond that, I got the strong sense that he was able to separate and prioritize our best interests over the desire to just sell us a house. In action, Brandon was a strong asset, his personal presentation and professionalism provided us with a tangible advantage in the way that other agents viewed us as potential buyers. He was thorough and rational in his evaluation of potential properties helping to keep us thinking critically about our options. Ultimately, after hearing horror stories from friends viewing hundreds of houses and making multiple offers only to be outbid by a cash offer, we got really lucky. We fell in love with a house, made a very well educated offer thanks to Brandon and his team, and presented a very appealing package that made the homeowners comfortable with our plans for their home. Then the stressful part started. One of the best parts of working with Brandon was the incredible team behind him at Surterre. They gave us the confidence to agree to expedited closing and made sure that we did not sacrifice at all on our due diligence. He was proactive in scheduling and attending every inspection and walk-through and found great professionals that we could trust did a thorough job. We bugged the crap out of him, calling/texting constantly because we were inexperienced regarding the process and he handled our demands with patience and clearly explained everything to us. Like I said, we were the lucky ones and got to enjoy the process and found a great home that we absolutely love. Thanks to Brandon, Janelle, and everyone at their office. " - Chris Deitrich

" Brandon did an incredible job guiding us through the buying process of our new home in Corona Del Mar. He was accommodating, assisted us greatly in negotiation, and had incredible communication through the entire process. Brandon even coordinated with multiple contractors to ensure extensive repairs to the home would be completed by our move-in date. Working with Brandon was a delight and he delivered quality results for us." - Stefan Kelley
