Brande Will Be Your Real Estate Partner
The first 21 years of Brande’s sales career were spent in the tech industry, which gave her the tools to adapt and work in highly competitive environments. She has taken those tools and transitioned into what she is truly passionate about—real estate. Buying and selling a home is personal, and you want to have an agent like Brande as a partner who understands both the business and emotional sides of the transaction.
