Brenda Charlson was an excellent resource in making a cross-country move; she was willing to work with us over the phone & email. Brenda asked our needs & searched for properties that would meet those needs & gave candid feedback on homes & areas of town; to help in our decision-making. Brenda was willing to be in communication with our selling realtor, to make the business side of selling in 1 state & buying in another go more smoothly. When we were able to meet in person, she did not hesitate to take us to look at as many potential homes as we wanted, even doing a walk-thru of another prospect, after we left; for us & relaying a candid & accurate description. As it turned out, that was the home we did purchase & we are very pleased with it…Brenda’s input was spot-on! Brenda also kept us updated on the progress of the transaction, coordinating the legal/monetary actions required & explaining the steps that I didn’t understand; in a manner that was helpful as a home buyer. Brenda was an essential asset to my home-buying experience!

Brenda was outstanding. She is very knowledgeable, honest and trustworthy. Brenda has so much knowledge of the market that she was able to get us a price that was better than we had hoped. She was extremely quick to respond and went beyond the call of duty. We are very thankful for all of her help and hard work. We will definitely work with her again when it is time to buy and sell. Thank you Brenda!!

Brenda was simply an outstanding agent from beginning to end. She was perfect for us, especially since we were "going out-of-state" clients. She walked us through every step of the process and was completely available every time we reached out to her. The transaction was smooth and easy all the way through the closing date. She negotiated between us as sellers and the new buyers with expertise, compassion and patience for all -- not always an easy task! We highly recommend her for both buying and selling any property.

Brenda Charlson is a terrific realtor. We are moving next Tuesday from Illinois to Iowa and Brenda helped us buy a house VIRTUALLY! She guided and advised us all along the way, set up and conducted virtual tours for us, and even helped us to find local handymen in Iowa so our home will be clean and ready to go when we move in next week. HIGHLY recommended.

Brenda was extremely helpful in selling my current home, finding a new home, and closing on the new home. She is very responsive and will go out of her way to make sure the seller/buyer is comfortable and happy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy/sell.
