My wife and I had an outstanding experience working with Brenda Small as our buying agent, and we highly recommend her. From the beginning, Brenda demonstrated why her 30+ years of experience in the DMV area truly matter. One thing that stood out immediately was how strategic and intentional she was throughout the home-buying process. We did not spend months touring endless homes that were not a good fit. Instead, Brenda carefully selected homes that aligned with our goals, preferences, and budget. It was clear she was doing extensive research behind the scenes because some of the best homes she showed us—including the home we ultimately purchased—were not even on our radar initially. Her knowledge of Southeast Washington, D.C. and the surrounding DMV area was incredibly valuable. She gave us honest, realistic insight into neighborhoods, property values, and long-term considerations that helped us make informed decisions with confidence. We especially appreciated that she was straightforward and realistic about properties rather than simply trying to make a sale. Communication was another major strength. Brenda was proactive, responsive, and consistently kept us informed every step of the way. She communicated well with selling agents and never failed to advocate for our best interests throughout negotiations and closing. As buyers, we had many moments when we needed clarification, and Brenda was always patient, thorough, and willing to explain anything we did not understand. She also connected us with excellent recommendations for lenders, inspections, and home services, which made the process much smoother. Thanks to Brenda’s expertise and guidance, we closed on our home in just 35 days. We are incredibly grateful for her support and would confidently recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the DMV area.

Brenda helped me find my first home in DC, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She took the time to really listen to what I wanted and we found the perfect place. Once I decided to rent my place out she also helped me find tenants within a week. She's incredibly knowledgeable about the market and all the legal /paperwork aspects of real estate and rentals, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I found great tenants. Her guidance and support throughout both buying and renting made all the difference. Highly recommend working with her!

Over 20 years ago, Brenda helped me purchase my first home. It was a solid home in a great neighborhood with the best neighbors. About 5 years ago, we began to think about a move. Though I had been in my home a long time, Brenda kept in touch. Naturally, she was the first realtor who came to mind. It helped that my husband of 12 years, loved her instantly. Brenda visited the house and gave us a list of must do, and nice to do projects. She also shared insights and later written projections demonstrating how those projects could impact our home value. After the visit, we continued to weigh the costs and benefits of renovating our home v. selling it. As we navigated a series of significant transitions and family illnesses that put the house decision on the back burner, Brenda stayed in touch. When we made a decision to sell our home, Brenda reviewed the initial list and worked with us to update it. She checked to remind us of our overall timeline and provided wise counsel throughout every stage of preparing the home for sale. We initially placed the home on the market during the summer. Brenda tracked views, engaged her network and reviewed the data with us weekly. When that wasn’t successful, she recommended that we take the home off the market briefly. Shortly after we relisted the house last fall, there were multiple offers on the house. We are grateful for Brenda, her advice throughout the process and her genuine care for me and our family. She helped me purchase my first and home and sell it 20 years later. If you’re looking for someone who is experienced, well-connected, builds genuine lasting relationships, and can help you sell or buy a home, she’s your realtor.

Highly knowledgeable about the local market, fully versed in the intricacies of the transaction process and how to navigate any obstacles and opportunities to bring the dream to fulfillment!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Brenda to purchase my first home. As a first time home buyer, I had many questions and uncertainties about the process and she made sure that I was informed and comfortable every step of the way. I especially appreciated her help with identifying my priorities and non-negotiables for the home. Brenda was very quick to respond whenever I reached out with questions or open houses that I was interested in. She also presented me with numerous options to visit. Her connections with lenders and negotiation with the seller’s agent allowed me to stay within my budget, secure a competitive interest rate, and facilitated a smooth closing process. I would definitely recommend Brenda to anyone looking to purchase soon!
