About Bria

I help buyers and sellers in Manhattan, Kansas, and the surrounding Flint Hills make confident real estate decisions with clear advice, thoughtful strategy, and proactive communication. As a Broker/Partner at Coldwell Banker Real Estate Advisors and a licensed REALTOR® since 2012, I bring deep local knowledge and a straightforward approach to every move. For sellers, that means a pricing and marketing plan grounded in current market data, thoughtful presentation, and an understanding of what buyers are looking for. For buyers, it means looking beyond a home’s first impression, asking the right questions, and navigating negotiations with your priorities in mind. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, relocating, moving up, or downsizing, I’ll help you understand your options and what comes next. My clients know me for honest advice, attention to detail, and a sense of humor that helps make stressful moments more manageable. I’ll keep things light when it helps and speak plainly when something needs your attention. You can count on me to explain the details, follow through, and advocate for you throughout the process. Around town, you may know me as the “Christmas Light REALTOR®.” My annual guide to local Christmas light displays has become a community tradition—and reflects how connected I am to the neighborhoods, people, and local businesses that make Manhattan home. Raised in rural Clay County and a graduate of Kansas State University, I’ve called Manhattan home since 2003. I became a partner at our locally owned brokerage in 2018 and continue to work directly with buyers and sellers while helping lead our office. Being a connector comes naturally to me, whether I’m helping a client find the right professional or introducing someone to a favorite local business. Outside of work, you’ll find me cheering on K-State, planning our next remodeling project, or getting our daughter to her latest 4-H or sports activity. If you see the BUYMHK license plate around town, that’s probably where I’m headed! If you’re considering buying or selling, let’s talk. You don’t have to have everything figured out before we start—that’s part of what I’m here for.
