My Realtor, Brenda Ashby and her team exceeded my expectations beyond anything I could imagine. Ms. Ashby came to me by referral from a close colleague who emphasized that I would not regret the representation provided by Ms. Ashby as I step into a dual escrow. At first meeting, I was so at ease with her because of the brutal honesty that came with every question that I presented. I was educated on the process I was about to enter and at every turn she was right there to advise me correctly, cheer me on, but more importantly made sure I stayed in compliance with ALL paperwork that needed my signature in a timely manner. As a first class Strategist, Ms. Ashby is the ABSOLUTE BEST! Her negotiation skills in selling my home and the purchasing of another property relied on her knowledge of t...

I wanted to share that I was very. Happy to have Brenda Ashby as my realtor. She, she was very knowledgeable with everything that needed to take place. She helped me with selling a probate which I clearly had no information on what I needed to do.. She was there when I needed her and I really appreciated that. It's is my determination that if I ever have anyone that needs a realtor like her I will. Make sure that I give them her name and number. Thank you so much Brenda for helping me

We purchase our home 3 an a half years ago and we are enjoying every minute and inch of it. During our home buying process Brenda walked us through every step from beginning to end. She made sure the purchase of our home was simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Brenda she has a thorough knowledge and understanding of real estate and local market. She always answered phone calls and reply to emails swiftly. She made it less stressful finding a home that met our needs and closing the deal. We are very fortunate to know Brenda Ashby as a professional Real Estate Specialist. I highly recommend Brenda to anyone who is seeking to purchase a home. The best part of our home buying process is that now we have a friend. Troy, Phyllis and Kenya

I was introduced to Brenda in 2014 through a mutual friend. My first impression of her was knowing that she is knowledgeable, very professional, has a beautiful personality, as well as an absolute pleasure to work with. Anyone that works with her will feel they are in good hands. Brenda found us a property she knew we would love. This shows integrity and dedication to her profession. She was there to explain every aspect of the process. Everyone that ask if I can provide a Realtor I send them to Brenda Ashby! GREAT JOB!!!

Brenda is by far the best Real estate agent I have met in 17 years as an investor. She has vastly exceeded my expectation. I teach QFD (Six Sigma Master Black Belt) and know one or two things about meeting versus exceeding customer expectation. After carefully filtering about 20 agents I zeroed in on 3 candidates. She was the more aggressive of the 3 candidates in regards to how much she could sell the property for and how quickly she could do it. I was a little worried about that but she seemed very well prepared and had sold properties in that area before.After 3 weeks she pulled in an offer which was within 99.01% of my asking price. She wrapped up the sales in 4 weeks and 4 days. Sofar, she had met my expectation to be a very good agent. But she also did this:1. Created unexpected valu...

Brenda is an extremely knowledgeable and sharp agent. She stayed on top of the whole process and really made us feel like our interests were the most important thing to her. She gave us great advice related to the area and the condo purchase process. Once the deal was done, she continued to assist us with questions we had about remodeling. Without reservation, I would work with Brenda again and recommend her to family and friends.

Ms Ashby is just great. Very patient and a professional. She has helped me over the years to assist my clients in the real estate field . She is very honest and that is what we need; honest agents. Agents I worked with before really did not have the best interest in my clients, but this lady does. She is highly recommended.

Brenda Ashby is the go to Real Estate Professional she jumps in and gets the job done. She brings her A+++ skills to the table she works and delivers the best for her client.One of her best skills is her ability in knowing what is needed in your situation and working to acheive that goal in an organized fashion.I referred someone to Brenda that the bank was attempting to foreclose on their home. Brenda immediately jumped in and in less than one month had the house listed and sold. Her hard work allowed this person to walk away with CASH MONEY equity they had in the home that would have been lost were it not for the quick work done by Brenda Ashby

Brenda has extensive knowledge of my property’s local community. There are subtle differences from block to block with a great deal of diversification. Brenda understands those nuances. She also knew the right people locally to get some necessary work done on the property prior to sale.
Brenda thoroughly explained the entire sell process, from the agreement to sell the property to the close of escrow. When I had questions, she explained what was needed and why, and trust me, I had tons of questions.
Any questions I had were immediately addressed through a variety of communication methods, be they email, phone call, text or in person.
Brenda was able to negotiate wit...

I met Brenda in March of 2014. I immediately sensed she was the right person to work with me during my journey in purchasing a home. It took longer than usual for me to purchase but Brenda was right there with me every step of the way. She is knowledgeable, responsive and skillful. She knows every step of the process and she even anticipates possible road blocks and prepares for them. I purchased my home in June 2014 and she is still checking up on me making sure things are going well. She also give me a list of great references. Even though my journey was a little rough and a uphill battle at times having Brenda as my agent made the hard times a little easier to face.

One of the most dedicated, responsive, knowledgeable and attentive people I’ve ever known. If she does not have an answer or a solution for you, she will get that answer and solution no matter what. Brenda is one who is always on time. She is very easy to work with. I would recommend her to any of my family or friends.

As my real estate representative, Ms. Ashby proved to be knowledgeable and experienced in her ability to assist me in finding the home I wanted to purchase. She was patient, prompt and diligent in locating the neighborhood and complex that I wanted to live in. Ms. Ashby is very thorough. When we were told by so-called reliable sources that there were Federal regulations and laws prohibiting me to buy a townhouse in a complex that I wanted to live in, Ms. Ashby researched the matter and found that those laws had been changed, updated or rescinded. Thanks to Ms. Ashby’s determination and efforts to get the facts, I was able to buy the home I wanted in the location that I desired.
