Welcome to my About Me :) I'm a Houston/Alvin native. Born and raised here with the exception of living in Clearwater, Florida for a few years when I was younger. I graduated from Manvel High School in 2010 then spent a few years at ACC trying to decide what I wanted to do. Started with some basics, tossed around the idea of getting a degree in Business but ended up leaving a certified Pharmacy Technician. I had my daughter not long after and decided to stay home with her! After a few years at home and marrying my junior high sweetheart, I started working as a receptionist for an industrial company in Pasadena until I had our second child. I knew after having our son, I was NOT going back to an 8-5 Monday through Friday job. I knew I wanted to stay ever-present for my family, so I needed something very flexible. My mom had her real estate license at the time and that's when the spark ignited! My whole family helped make it a possibility! The rest is history ;p I want to leave off with a few FAQ/Answers so when you call me to help you buy your home or list it, we can get straight to business!!

Did you know that the average person moves a total of 16 times over their lifetime? That’s about once every 5 years! It can be exhausting and overwhelming.

I, myself, have come full circle back to the Houston area in 17 years by way of Virginia, Illinois, North Dallas and Indiana. Being part of that average statistic, I understand both professionally and personally the challenges of buying and selling a home. This is true whether moving state to state or locally.

You move because you need to upgrade, downsize, relocate, or simply because you need a change. For sellers, the need is to sell a house for the most amount of money in the shortest period of time. These things are important in order for you to begin that new chapter of life. When working with buyers, I understand that buying a house involves addressing the whole family’s needs. My goal is to help you find a house to make into a home, not just a place to live.

CLIENT'S FEEDBACK:

"So many realtors just care about their interest and commission, Brenda did not make me feel that at all. She makes you feel she is working on your side, and that’s hard to find in a realtor.” -Sammer N.

"Brenda handled our home hunt very well. We were probably difficult clients but she always showed up with a smile. It almost felt like we were her only clients at the time due to the personal attention and care we received!" –Allison and Anton A.

“She took the time to get to know us and what our dream house would look like. We weren't going to stop looking until we found it and neither was she. She was always professional, not too pushy, engaged, always prompt and patient in answering our questions. I cannot count the number of times we called her last minute on a Sunday afternoon to see a few homes and she always made the time. Her knowledge of real estate and the process was so helpful in navigating us through the process and all of the tedious counters with the seller.” –Leisa and Ray C.
