Irma did an excellent job with helping us sell our home and find a rental! She is a very compassionate person who understands, she answered my emails and phone calls right away with no hassles. This process went so smoothly because of her. I highly recommend her! I am truly blessed to have found such a great realtor through a process, that could have been so stressful, but she made it so easy for us. Thank You!!!!!

During our home search, we dealt with a couple of different realtors. Irma was the only one we felt was actually working for us. She was patient, and helped us find exactly what we were looking for. She was constantly available whenever we had questions. I'd highly and confidently recommend her to anyone home shopping!

In the summer of 2022, our family purchased our first home and it is thanks to Irma Brainard. Irma is a wealth of resources and knowledge. She made herself available to our family's unconventional schedule (spouse is in tv/film production). Irma was able to provide us with the guidance we needed to move forward with confidence in making our purchase. Thank you, Irma!

Irma is a talented realtor who works hard for her clients. She truly cares and her expertise and good communication add so much to a stressful experience - she helped make buying a house so much better! I recommend her wholeheartedly and am thankful that she worked with us to get the house we love.

I can't thank Irma enough for her flexibility and expertise. We had six weeks to find and close on a house because of our lease expiration, and very little knowledge of the area and market - not to mention no experience at all in the home buying process. Irma not only rose to the occasion but had us closing on our new home in even less time! She really knew the areas and markets in Verona, Nutley, Clifton, Bloomfield, Montclair and the surrounding areas, and was able to guide us successfully through this crazy housing market. Irma was very responsive and sent us home listings daily; she made appointments quickly and was flexible to our schedule. She was also incredibly helpful during the inspections, recommending vendors and helping us understand what questions to ask (did I mention we're first time homebuyers?). Thanks to Irma, we found a home we love in a great area, and closed on it last week - around five weeks from when we started looking. She was a true partner to us, always pleasant and lovely to work with, and I'd work with her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
