After teaching secondary English and social studies in the Beaverton School District for 30 years, I began my career as a real estate broker with Coldwell Banker in 2005. I chose this job because I consider it a helping profession. I enjoy working with both buyers and sellers and feel great joy and satisfaction when they are happy with their homes. For most people, a home is not only their largest investment, but also their refuge. I take my responsibility in this process very seriously and provide the best service I possibly can.
I help clients buy and sell properties all around the Portland Metropolitan Area, including SW and NW Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Forest Grove, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Tualatin, Wilsonville, Oregon City, and NE, N, and SE Portland, and other outlying areas.
Please call on me for market information, market analysis of your property, or help with locating the perfect home. I have worked extensively with clients relocating in and out of the Portland area as well. I always try to exceed your expectations and accomplish your sale or move with a wide variety of marketing tools and excellent communication.
Hear From My Clients
"Brenda is an outstanding agent who not only knows the market extremely well but also is a master of the entire sales process. She tirelessly worked to market our house and, when the sale progressed, met every difficulty in a straightforward manner. She is a communicator without peer as far as we are concerned. As the house progressed a number of difficulties came up that required not only a mastery of real estate but also a network of contractors and title people. Her door is always open and often I received email updates at 6am and as late as 9:30 at night. She is always calm and focused on getting the job done. This said at no time did we feel uncomfortable with the entire process because she communicated all in advance so we were prepared for any eventuality. I would, without reservation, recommend her to any and all friends and family in order to conduct future real estate transactions."

"Brenda goes above and beyond with her service! She has been our realtor on two different properties. We have had many different realtors over the years and never have we seen a realtor with such professionalism---and attention to detail. Her flyers, web pages, and reports on the sales process are WAY above the norm that one usually gets from a realtor. She is fantastic with entire listing and sales process. "

She did not stop once our home was purchased and her job done, but continues to stay in touch. We not only found a great realtor, we made a new friend. "

"Brenda was the best we have ever worked with! We have bought and sold 5 homes in 22 years and she is simply the best. Her expertise and quick response to our inquiries was stellar. We were very impressed with the way our home was presented on the the home site brochure and on the website. Her use of a pro photographer and staging suggestions helped sell our home. I would recommend her to anyone who really wants to sell their home. "
