Brenda came highly recommended from an agent outside of the area, and she did not disappoint. From our initial meeting, it was clear to me that Brenda brought intelligence coupled with a high degree of professionalism. Her initial read on the house was at value above where I expected, but in the end we closed at that price. My hope for Brenda, as explained at the outset, is that I would not be high maintenance, but I would be high touch. Brenda was more than up to the task. From connecting me to awesome contractors that helped get a 1984 town home ready for sale, to even helping me donate years of accumulated stuff to Goodwill. Brenda has a great eye for detail and presentation, recommending staging where useful, as it was here. In the end, we accepted one of several offers within 10 days of listing, and following a very successful brokers' open and general open house. Brenda stayed with me throughout the subsequent negotiations, which included a few twists that she handled terrifically. Her recommendation for a lawyer to help us through escrow was perfect - moving at my pace but also ensuring I understood the ins and outs of something I don't do on a daily basis. Truly a partner throughout this journey, Brenda is someone that I can recommend highly. And in addition to all of the skills, experience and contacts she delivered throughout the process, Brenda is a genuinely nice and real person that I enjoyed working with throughout.
