Description
Zeal for details is what sets Sean Brown apart: whether in perfection of contract language; arrangement of marketing images; or ensuring your front porch is presentable before a showing.
Sean's formative years in California and New Jersey gave him a broader perspective of this great nation which led to a curiosity about the larger world. He has worked in Papua New Guinea, Chile, Nepal, Ecuador, Canada and Ethiopia. Vacation travels have taken him to the Czech Republic, Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, England, Ireland, Australia, Thailand, Kenya, British Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Costa Rica, Mexico and Argentina. Time and time again, Sean returns to what he believes to be the best place on earth: Utah.
Moving to Park City in 1986 to attend the University of Utah (and to ski powder) led to a bachelor's of science degree and the purchase of his first home in the early-1990s. He has worked in most aspects of ski resort operations and has worked in every aspect of alpine residential construction. The net result from a real estate perspective is his ability to quickly understand a property.
Recent real estate-related and civic-minded pursuits place Sean as president of a local mutual water company, manager of a pipeline construction company and a member of a local HOA's legal committee. Sean's deep understanding of water delivery and all its components has been extremely useful to many of his clients.
Sean, his wife, Bridget, their daughter and son live on their 'Ski Ranch (tm)' eight minutes outside of Park City proper along with dogs, a cat, horses, chickens, ducks, turkeys, lambs, goats and a plethora of less domesticated elk, moose, deer, wild turkeys, bunnies and raptors. In his off-time, Sean likes sharing his passions for deep-powder skiing, kitesurfing on nearby reservoirs of Jordanelle and Deer Creek, target practice, adding more downhill and x/c ski trails on his property and making ridiculously large bonfires in the snow.

Testimonials
I have used Sean twice, both for purchasing and selling a home here in Park City. He is incredibly knowledgeable of the local real estate market and takes time to insure that the buyer is aware of every option available. His professionalism and constant attention to detail are unmatched. I highly recommend Sean for both locals and anyone planning to escape to the mountains of Park City.
Sean has been my agent buying and selling land and homes in the Park City area for many years. Sean just sold a place for me near Deer Valley and had it under contract for FULL PRICE the day it hit the market.
Sean is the consummate real estate professional, extremely knowledgeable about neighborhoods, city, county and state regulations, etc. Sean is the type of real estate agent that you stay in touch with once the transaction is done to keep abreast of local market forecasts, etc.
I often call or text Sean with questions about the Park City area, even not real estate related, as I know he knows the answer or will find it for me quickly through his broad network.
I highly recommend Sean and trust him completely.

I was new to Park city Utah, didn’t know anyone and a friend of a friend recommended this guy Sean Brown. I wasn’t entirely sure what I was looking for so our first visit or two was exploratory. Sean showed me a variety of properties which enabled me to figure out for myself what I wanted and where. Each property was well researched which gave me the confidence I needed in a realtor. I was looking for someone I could trust who had their finger on the Realestate market. Few weeks go by and I’m in Florida and Sean calls me about a property in Old Town Park City. He said, I think I found what you’re looking for, but after a little more digging he realized that the property had an unsigned contract out. He sent photos and other information of the listing. Site unseen, I made an offer which was accepted by the seller. Sean’s advice on how to present a proper offer, landed me my first place in Park City. He made it THAT easy for me. Sean is now pre listing my property which is 6 weeks away from Permits. Every aspect of this deal/project has been seamless because of him. I’m incredibly grateful. He’s the best
Sean is very detail oriented and extremely knowledgable. He leaves no stone unturned and will work hard on your behalf. I have worked with Sean on multiple real estate transactions and trust him to get the job done and work hard on my behalf.
Sean was the best. He spent a lot of time with us ensuring we found the perfect spot in Deer Valley. He understood what we were looking for and showed all the options available. He is a true professional.
From Morgan Frank, Manchester Explorer Fund (San Francisco, CA)
Not only did Sean find me an amazing property at a fantastic price, but his help in negotiating a complex transaction was absolutely invaluable. His knowledge is encyclopedic and his attention to detail, referrals, and help with inspectors and contractors was amazing. Sean was always there to answer questions and make sure the process went smoothly. Rather than acting as a friend to the transaction, Sean was a friend to me and I would and will recommend him to anyone looking for a top notch and trustworthy realtor.
From Michelle Trudeau, from NPR (Irvine, CA)
Sean has been our broker on several real estate transactions. He is extremely knowledgeable and responsible. He is trustworthy and low-key. We always recommend him as a real estate agent to our friends who are discovering and falling in love with the area.
From Dr. Elliot Semet, from Brielle, NJ
Exceptionally knowledgeable regarding our area of interest in the area and how to make the (slight) differences agreeable to the entire family. A pleasure to work with, easily accessible with what appears to be a quick and almost intuitive insight to our goals (within budget).
From Anthony Kadzius, from Lake Placid, NY
Sean Brown managed our acquisition of a short sale property with meticulous attention to all the details. His most important task was to protect our money through the due diligence period and to insure that the financials were correct. His guidance throughout the process, along with his local expertise (in getting contractors, inspectors and others to verify all the details) allowed us to feel totally comfortable with our purchase. He worked for US throughout the process. We strongly recommend that anyone contemplating a real estate purchase in Utah contact Mr. Brown to get the best information and the best purchase management. He knows the market, he knows what works and will find the property that fits individual requirements.
From Lee Dumas, from Midvale, UT
We have enjoyed knowing Sean for several years as a friend and a neighbor and now as our real estate broker. Sean is a broker with exceptional knowledge in the Utah real estate market. He is dependable, honest and thorough. We will recommend Sean to anyone looking to sell or buy real estate in the area.
From Henry & Lorraine Johnson, from Park City, UT
Sean Brown provided excellent service to us. He is an experienced professional, knowledgeable about properties, the market and the particular details needed to ensure a quick and smooth closing. He was always available to us, with prompt and friendly service throughout our transaction. I have recommended his service to friends, and will continue to do so.
From Eric and Tammy Sutton, Western Steel Erectors, Island Park, Idaho
Sean Brown has now helped us with three real estate transactions and is working on the fourth. From the search for property to his thorough review of the closing documents, he always exceeds our every expectation. He truly is a master of his profession. We now consider Sean our friend as well as our real estate broker and would recommend him to anyone buying or selling property.
From Carman Espinoza, GE Water, Park City
Sean helped me sell one house and buy another. Before I started working with Sean I really had no idea what real estate agents actually did,or can do to add value to a real estate transaction. I honestly believe that I am financially ahead due to Sean's efforts on both transactions. He is worth every dollar of his commission.
From Tom Taylor, Raleigh, NC
Sean’s marketing and negotiation skills are unrivaled. His attention to detail on internet marketing, including fantastic imagery, helped secure us the perfect buyer. We never wanted to completely let go of our summer home in the Wasatch Mountains. Sean guided us through a complex transaction that involved us fractionalizing our ownership, setting up a new partnership structure for ownership and providing seller financing for our new partners. We felt very protected in this transaction. Sean never lost sight of the fact that, unlike almost all real estate transactions, we were taking on partners as opposed to ending the relationship with the buyers at closing.
From Troy Wallin, Wallin-Hester, Gilbert, AZ
Sean was a consummate professional throughout the entire process of the purchase of a large parcel near Deer Valley. He never compromised his ethical obligations to represent our interests, even though he acted in a dual agency role. He was articulate, extremely knowledgeable, thorough and honest to a fault in all of his dealings with us. I highly recommend Sean to any looking to buy or sell property in the Empire Pass area!
From Jim Lippman, CEO and Chairman of JRK Property Holdings, Brentwood, CA
Sean was our agent for the purchase of our dream home in the Bald Eagle community of Deer Valley. Sean worked tirelessly to ensure we received the best value possible for our money. My company is one of the top purchasers of real estate in the nation. From that perspective I can tell you Sean definitely added value to our transaction. I recommend Sean’s services to any caliber of real estate buyer or seller.
