“We have worked with Brenda 2 times over the years. The first time was a new home purchase in 2003 / 2004. Moving fro another state, Brenda spent quite a bit of time with us to somewhat familiarize us with the areas. In 2013, she again assisted us with the sale of the same home. … We highly regard Brenda as a well versed, highly skilled and caring realtor!”
