DRE# 01059808

Local Roots. Trusted Experience. Proven Results.


Real estate is more than a career for Brian Thorndyke—it’s part of a long-standing family legacy on the Central Coast. A fifth-generation Paso Robles resident, Brian comes from a family that has owned and operated local businesses for four generations, giving him a deep appreciation for the community and the people who shape it. That lifelong local connection provides insight no market report can replicate.

Brian has been a licensed real estate professional since 1990 and is a Broker-Associate, bringing over three decades of hands-on experience to every transaction. He specializes in residential, luxury, ranch, acreage, and commercial/multi-family properties throughout Northern San Luis Obispo County, offering clients thoughtful guidance, strong market knowledge, and steady leadership—whether navigating a first home purchase or a complex investment.


Brian’s connection to the community extends far beyond the closing table. His deep-rooted commitment to the area is evidenced by his active involvement in local organizations and committees, where he works to preserve and improve the community that has supported his family for five generations. He believes that real estate is not just about transactions, but about building a sustainable future for the place he calls home.

At the heart of Brian’s professional drive is his own family. He is married to his high school sweetheart, Stephanie, and together they have raised three children: Kelsy, Camryn, and Conner. This personal connection to family values defines his approach to business—treating every client’s needs with the same care, integrity, and dedication he provides his own loved ones. When you work with Brian, you are not just hiring a Broker; you are partnering with a local authority dedicated to your long term success.
