Bret Charlesworth

A great communicator, organized, and hardworking are the top qualities Bret Charlesworth would use to characterize himself as a veteran real estate agent. Exposed to the industry from an early age, Bret grew up in Ogden, Utah, watching his father own and operate a brokerage of his own. Bret earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Weber State University and an MBA from the University of Phoenix. Before entering the world of real estate, he worked as vice president of sales and marketing for various companies. During this time, he honed his negotiation skills, routinely handling and negotiating multi-million-dollar contracts. Bret identified a desire to engage with clients on a more personal level and eventually decided to pursue a career in real estate, following in his father's footsteps. Bret joined Summit Sotheby's International Realty in 2019, Utah's first real estate agency with its own in-house marketing and advertising teams, professional photography and videography, legal and transaction management, accounting, and more. He was drawn to the company's ability to provide an unequaled luxury experience for any property regardless of location, price point or size, which allowed Bret to focus on providing his clients with luxury real estate services backed by the global reach and power of the Sotheby's International Realty brand. Bret received the Rookie of the Year award for helping 42 clients buy or sell their homes in his first year of real estate. His success continued to prosper after that; Bret has been awarded the REALTORA(R) 500 Award (recognizing him as one of the top 500 agents on the Salt Lake Board of REALTORSA(R)) for the past four years and counting. In 2020 and 2021, he was one of the top five performing agents at Summit Sotheby's International Realty's Draper office. Bret's superb negotiation skills, marketing strategies, and vital connections have won him an excellent reputation among his clients and fellow agents. Bret has over 60 Five-Star reviews on Zillow that attest to the fact he provides a seamless experience for every client he serves. Bret focuses on giving each client an amazing customer service experience, believing that communication is crucial to a solid client/agent relationship. Bret's clients say that he is always available, responds quickly, keeps them informed, has a great knowledge of the real estate market and always focuses on their needs and wants. Specializing in Salt Lake and Utah Counties, where he does over half of his business, Bret also has extensive knowledge of Weber and Davis Counties, having grown up in Ogden and working for three years at a Layton brokerage and does quite a bit of business in that area as well. Bret and his wife Sheree started their family in Kaysville, Utah, where they lived for ten years before moving to California for a couple of years. Bret and his family recently relocated to Sandy after 18 years in Draper. A strong love for Utah's mountains and outdoor activities has been instilled in Bret since birth and he enjoys spending time along the Wasatch Front, partaking in the many activities accessible right out his door. When he's not working, you can find Bret skiing, mountain biking, hiking, golfing, playing tennis, traveling the world, or spending time with his family. He cherishes Utah's natural beauty and seasonal diversity, but he adores the people and the state's strong sense of family and community even more.
