About Brenda

Brenda has long been a Top Producer in the Rockford office. She has been a Realtor for more than 29 years and still finds it fulfilling and rewarding. During the 29+ years she has been top in the Relocation Specialist area both incoming and outgoing. Brenda's specialty though, is in residential homes sales, with a high volume contributed to country properties and lake front homes. This accomplishment comes as a result of her love for the business and her desire to help people reach their goals and dreams. "I give both buyers and sellers honest information and superior service. By conducting my business this way, I feel that no matter who I am representing in a transaction, both parties will feel they have been treated fairly." She distinguishes herself as being committed to making you, the client, her number one priority, whether it's the sale of your home or buying a new one. Having moved here from Illinois in 1994, Brenda knows what it's like to be on the 'other side' of the move and her goal is a stress free move for her clients. Brenda is an active member of West Michigan Therapy Dogs and enjoys her visits at DeVos Children's Hospital and adult oncology at Spectrum Health, she initiated the Ruff Reader program at MacNaughten Elementary school where first and second graders read to the dog, and is active in her church with various boards. In any spare time she has, Brenda enjoys riding horses with her daughter and granddaughter, activities with the grandchildren, traveling with her husband Jerry and enjoying the peaceful life that living on a lake brings. Brenda is dedicated to giving you excellent service no matter the size of the sale, because you deserve that.

Our home sale took an unusual turn but Brenda helped us through the challenges. All of the details were handled professionally and all information was communicated clearly.

Very knowledgeable in buying and selling!

Brenda Gartzke first helped us sell a home. This was our first time selling a property. With the positive experience we had, it was easy to choose her when it was time to buy. Brenda was always ready and available when we wanted to tour a home and get answers to our questions. She went out of her way to help. Her knowledge of the real estate business allowed us to get top price for the home we sold. She was a knowledgeable negotiator when it came time to purchase a house. Even though a seller appeared difficult to satisfy, she treated them with professional respect. Our transactions were smooth. The rest of her team at REMAX was also friendly and very easy to work with. My husband and I would highly recommend Brenda to anyone looking for a realtor.

Patient, Professional, Personal Touch

Brenda was TRULY great to work with and greatly appreciate throughout the entire process. She responded quickly when there were questions or concerns. There were some issues from our end (the Seller's) with the sale of my late mother's home that took us (the seller's) a bit longer to be able to sell the house. Brenda was patient and caring and in correspondence, and there was no pushiness from her as she realized we were going through a hard time. It was a two-way street, the COMMUNICATION portion, and, again, we'd let her know what was going on and she'd respond appropriately with human care AND professionalism. It was a real joy working with Brenda. I highly recommend her... and will recommend her and REMAX to friends and family looking for a Realtor.

Appreciated her helpwith an out-of-town seller.

Brenda was very helpful in the selling of my mother’s house. She had good ideas when small problems arose. She answered my questions when there were some confusion. She was helpful at finding a handyman. Which made the sale of the house happen.

Never a dull moment

Never a dull moment

There's so much that goes into selling and buying. And having a realtor do all the hard work is so appreciated. There's confusion. There's questions, but that's what Brenda was there for to answer, All of them and to ease all of it so it would go more smoothly. There were many hiccups that she took care of I definitely do not ever want her job. Her job is secure if we were the only 2 realtors out there, id starve she'd get the job done!! Way too much behind the scenes that needs to be done. It's not just looking at properties. It's not just having people come in and look at your property. It's the technical side of things behind the scenes that she took care of. Thankful and grateful , I'm glad it's done. My hope is other realtors will realize how important it is That their job is, so not to make it so difficult for others. Brenda dogs just that. Thank you
