" "Brenna was the best realtor. I’ve used her for purchasing and selling my first home. Her knowledge of the market and process made even the biggest hurdles approachable. I have recommended Brenna to multiple friends all who have been completely satisfied with her abilities. If you want a realtor at the top of her game with experience and ready to help you achieve your home ownership goals, she’s the one. " "

" "I do not have enough great things to say about Brenna Fahlin! We started our home search right at the beginning of the market taking a turnaround April/May of 2020. My husband and I were looking to sell our current home and purchase something larger for our growing family. We thought it might take a month or two and never anticipated finding our perfect home and getting an accepted offer would take 13+ months. Brenna stood with us every step of the way. I lost count of how many showings she took us to on the weekends and in the evenings and how many offers she wrote for us (really good ones I might add that were still denied.) We are so grateful that we had Brenna on our side during such a stressful year that should be an exciting time. She was always available by text and always made time for us. When she easily could have been tired of showing us homes, she kept on and NEVER pressured us into a house just to close a sale. She made a point to call out things we may have missed, and she knew exactly what we were looking for and expecting. I know that she had to make a lot of calls to us to say "sorry guys, they went with another offer" however, in hindsight I am so happy we lost some of those homes. When we did finally find the one, we were ready to go all in and she helped save us money by going in with a fair offer but asking closing costs. We thought in this market, no way... but it was accepted! Once we had an accepted offer, she helped us get top dollar for our current home in lakeside! She kept us informed on what to expect on next steps on the sale of our current home and purchase of the new one. Closing went seamlessly! Honestly, we are sad not see Brenna multiple times a month anymore! She felt more like a friend than a real estate agent! We will refer friends and family to her for sure! :) Thank you, Brenna!!! " "

She quickly got to know us and what we were looking for in a house and helped narrow down our options and worked quickly to get our house on the market under a time constraint. We hit a few bumps along the way, and she was very helpful in keeping us informed and made a stressful situation more bearable. We will definitely be recommending her to anyone we know looking to buy or sell!" "

We would definitely recommend her to other homebuyers." "

Great communicator and educator. Seemed to know the market well.

- Lindsey P

" "Brenna was absolutely amazing!!! She was our rock through this crazy market. I'm so glad she was recommended to us by many friends who had her as a real estate agent in the past. She taught us so much about what to look for in a home and always had our best interest in mind. Her great relationships with fellow real estate agents in the area made sure we were always able to see homes we were interested in, and any questions we had answered. In the end she landed us the house of our dreams and we couldn't be happier! " "

The way she walks you through a house is really helpful. She will point out things you would never think to look for. She is super easy to get along with and we were always so comfortable with her. She was incredibly helpful when it came to making offers and negotiations. Brenna was definitely the right choice for us, we truly enjoyed working with her. Thank you, Brenna!!! " "

- Camille I

- Rhiannon L

" "Cannot speak highly enough about Brenna. We have had dealings with other real estate companies and agents in the past with our previous home purchase and sale, and she blew them out of the water. Not only was she very knowledgeable about the area, but she also recommended great options for inspection, home loan, insurance, and title company. She fought for us getting items fixed or taken care of before the home closing, and even checked up on them before closing and got them to clean the carpet again (did a poor job still smelled like dog). Even when we did the initial walkthrough during an open house, she got back to us AND got into the house the same day (after open house was closed) to look at it. She was honest and told us we can find another like it eventually or wait for them to lower the price. Did not push the sale. I cannot share enough in this format to express how happy we were and still are with Brenna. She still answers questions and is helpful even after the fact. Way above and beyond, could not ask for anything better or anything else. She is a model all real estate agents should aspire to emulate." "

" "Brenna Fahlin was my relator when I sold my house. I had several different offers and helped me understand the process so that I could make an informed decision. I really appreciated her availability and that she spent time with me to help me. I was able to sell my house for 13% more than I was asking, and it sold in about a week. I would and have recommended Brenna to my friends and others. " "

We both liked the fact that even from the initial meeting, she had similar thoughts on budgets and spending as my wife and I; she was very professional and informative during our journey of finding our house.\r\n\r\nI did just see Brenna at a home show the company was staffing a booth; she was happy to hear an update on how things are doing, and reiterated again not to hesitate to contact her with any questions we'd have in the future.

- Trace A

" "We had the best experience I could have asked for. However, we almost passed Brenna up for another agent because she didn't say she would include a staging consult, even though she ended up doing that. Just because we didn't know that up front, we almost went with someone else." "

I credit Brenna Fahlin for being the absolute perfect blend of professionalism and knowledge ability. Brenna was extremely patient during our process as we did think a little unconventional. Brenna's top-notch advice and straight forward honesty put us in a position in which we were able to receive multiple offers over asking price the first day of the listing! Brenna knows what she is doing, I feel extremely lucky to have her during this process. I honestly don't think anyone could have done it better. " "
