Gerard Fagan grew up in Cloonfad, a small, tight-knit village on the west coast of Ireland. It is not the kind of place people expect a Silicon Valley real estate advisor to come from. But that origin story is precisely what shaped him.
From an early age, property was woven into Gerard's world. His father is a contractor who has spent his career transforming old, run-down buildings into beautiful modern homes, and Gerard grew up watching that happen, developing an instinctive feel for what a property can become in the right hands. That upbringing planted a seed that never left him.
Gerard started working at a young age, a work ethic instilled from the beginning, and brings over 15 years of sales experience to every deal. From there he set out to see the world, spending 3.5 years in China and close to a year in Sydney working on a $45 million luxury estate — a journey across four continents that taught him how to communicate across cultural lines, earn trust quickly, and understand what high-end property looks and feels like at the very top of the market.
From there, Gerard settled in Silicon Valley and immediately recognized it as the place where everything he had built came together. He entered real estate and the results were immediate. In his first two years he was awarded 5 awards including Rookie of the Year and Rising Star — back-to-back recognition that reflected not just his ability to close deals, but his instinct for understanding what clients need and delivering it with care.
Today Gerard is a real estate advisor with SERHANT, specializing in relocation clients and families looking to navigate the complex buy and sell process with ease across San Jose and the broader Bay Area. His clients come from all walks of life, with a strong base of tech professionals, engineers, and relocation buyers navigating one of the most competitive markets in the country. What clients notice first is the calm. What they remember is the result. Gerard brings an honest, measured approach to every transaction, no pressure, no noise, just sharp strategy, genuine care, and a white glove experience that makes one of life's biggest decisions feel exactly as it should.
Joining SERHANT was a deliberate choice. The brand represents a new standard for real estate — media-forward, globally connected, and generating over 100 million organic social impressions every month — giving every listing and every client a real edge. Gerard and his wife Steph, both licensed realtors, joined SERHANT together as a husband and wife team, building their practice around a shared vision and an uncompromising standard of excellence.
Based in Santa Clara with a focused eye on San Jose, Gerard is deeply invested in the communities he serves. Outside of real estate, he is a proud new father, his baby boy just celebrated his first birthday, and someone who still takes a moment, now and then, to appreciate how far the road from Cloonfad has taken him.
If you are buying, selling, relocating, or navigating the complex buy and sell process in Silicon Valley, Gerard Fagan is the advisor who will know your market, simplify the journey, and genuinely care about getting it right.
