Brenda was representing the sellers on an acreage property and I was looking for a property very similar to her listing. She spent time answering all my questions at a showing and I was thoroughly impressed with how well she knew the property’s history. She had also worked with her buyers to proactively complete needed repairs before putting on the market - this showed a thoroughness I want in an agent as it would help me close faster with less maintenance to consider. There was another property I was looking at near her listing. She took the time to show me that property and we made open/honest comparisons based on my needs - not what she had to sell. I appreciate that her main goal was my needs not just selling me her listing! My situation changed in the middle of the search and I had to pause - Brenda was professional and kept great communication with me during my pause. Ultimately she sold the gorgeous 5 acre home to another buyer but I couldn’t be more pleased with how she handled my situation with professionalism, honesty and a real focus on my needs/timing. When I’m looking again Brenda will be my first call because I know she’ll get me ready to buy the home of my dreams!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Reilly to purchase our very first home in Gretna! As first-time homebuyers, we had so many questions, but she made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. She was always available to answer our questions, explain everything, and make sure we felt confident in every decision. She truly went above and beyond for us and always had our best interests at heart. We couldn't have asked for a better Realtor to guide us through such an exciting milestone. We highly recommend Reilly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Reilly is such a hardworking agent, and she’s backed by a great team. I’ve gone to her for real estate advice and have always appreciated how helpful and knowledgeable she is. She takes the time to answer my questions and makes sure I understand my options. I’ve referred friends and family to her because I know they’ll be in good hands. I’d recommend Reilly to anyone looking for a dedicated agent who truly cares!

Libby was incredibly helpful with any issues that came up. Both selling and buying. Selling our home took 3 days. Buying our new home was just as easy and Libby was with us every step of the way

Stay far away from this agent.

Our experience with Brenda DeVries was extremely frustrating and costly. She represented the buyers in the sale of our home and proposed that we rent the property to her clients while they continued trying to obtain financing, after multiple financing delays. We agreed to this arrangement in good faith so we could keep the transaction moving.

We provided a lease and waited nearly two weeks for her to respond. Instead of finalizing the arrangement, Brenda came back with substantially different terms. We agreed to that proposal, only to have her back out of it days later and propose a six-month rental instead.

Throughout this process, we continued holding our home while financing issues remained unresolved. The transaction was repeatedly delayed, and we spent months dealing with uncertainty while relying on Brenda to communicate what was happening and help move the transaction toward resolution.

Despite the financing issues, Brenda later sent a demand letter insisting that we release the earnest money. She also contacted our agent demanding the release of the funds while we were dealing with another potential sale of the property.

The entire experience cost us significant time, money, and opportunity. We expected a professional agent to handle the transaction responsibly and communicate honestly about what was happening.

If you are considering working with Brenda DeVries, whether you are a buyer or a seller, I would strongly recommend doing your own due diligence and getting everything in writing. Based on our experience, we would not work with her again.
