About Brenda

Business Philosophy I vow honesty, trustworthiness, loyalty and hard work on behalf of all my clients. If I say I will do it, you can count on it. I try to respond quickly to clients inquiries and address their needs as soon as possible. I have built relationships within a large network of fellow realtors, which helps my transactions to be smoother and more cooperative. I eagerly pursue continuing ed and and frequent Coldwell Banker training sessions to stay abreast of continual changes and revisions to Real Estate Law and local procedures . Most importantly, I listen-really listen to my clients. If they say they want a 4 bedroom home, I will not show them 2 bedroom homes! If they don't want a certain area I will not waste their time by taking them to that area. Listening is critical to having a great working relationship with my clients.

These are generally emotional transactions and I extend patience and empathy with what they are feeling and having to deal with.nbsp; I also work with a Non-Profit that provides Vocational Training to marginalized women who have been or are at great risk of being trafficked. We not only train these ladies to make products, but also provide companies that place large orders of these products so that the freedom offered to them is sustained.nbsp; My favorite vacation can be simple--I just need some sand to dig my toes into, a sand chair and a good book to read!
