About Me

My career began in the title insurance industry, where I became a top-producing escrow officer in Alameda County. My strengths included managing a large volume of accounts, optimizing market conditions, providing a range of client services, and offering knowledge of the local real estate market.
I previously had the opportunity to work on the operations side of a successful construction business. It was incredibly beneficial to learn the many aspects of construction and remodeling. The process is very complex, from working with the city officials to obtaining permits, coordinating inspections, and ordering materials and installations. Personally, I have remodeled five homes, which has allowed me to experience the high level of emotions involved and the tangible benefit of enjoyment of the final product.
Our family has lived in Piedmont for three generations. I have a senior attending Piedmont High School and two in college. The teachers, community support, and services are second to none. I'm fortunate to have a fantastic group of neighborhood friends.
I'm passionate about the needs and goals of my clients, and I strive to exceed client expectations by building trust, sharing my expertise and community knowledge, navigating through the negotiations of the deal, and getting the highest and best results.

Brenda is a fantastic agent with intimate knowledge of the Piedmont market. She helped us sell our home (and buy a new one, too) and built enough interest to generate multiple offers ALL over asking price. I can recommend her without reservation.

Brenda was a pleasure to work with! She helped us purchase our first home in May 2016. We had nearly given up on trying to buy a home because the market was so competitive and we felt priced out. Brenda listened to what we wanted and helped us make a winning offer on a great house. Not only did  Brenda offer great strategic advice, but she also patiently explained a lot about the process and walked us through the different steps of buying a home. I highly recommend working with Brenda!

There are many wonderful realtors that are professional, responsive and knowledgeable, but for us, Brenda gave us more than we could have asked for. Her in-depth understanding of our local real estate market was critical in getting our home listed at just the right time and at the right price point. She gave us a full-service experience by connecting us with great contractors, helping us make sound decisions on “bang-for-the-buck” upgrades, helping us manage the contractors, keeping us all on schedule, and helping us navigate the myriad forms and documents required. What truly makes Brenda stand out was her constant support and personal touch, offering “hand-holding and encouragement,” gentle nudging, invaluable advice, and a delicious home-delivered dinner, when we needed it. Five stars are not enough for the service she gave us!
