ZillowVERIFIEDSome realtors help you buy or sell a house. Brenda McKinley helps you sleep at night. She's the rare combination of incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely honest, and refreshingly funny. No confusing real estate jargon, no pressureaEUR"just clear explanations, solid advice, and someone who always has your best interests at heart. You can tell she knows the laws, the market, and just about everyone in the community. What impresses me most, though, is who Brenda is beyond real estate. She gives back to the community in so ways, and it's obvious that helping people isn't just her jobaEUR"it's part of who she is. If you want a realtor you'll trust, respect, and probably end up calling a friend, Brenda is the one. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrenda did an outstanding job helping me start the next chapter of my life! I wanted to relocate to Idaho and then sell my home in Washington. She referred me to an associate Mary Gronley in Idaho, and I found a great home in Post Falls near the Spokane River. Once I completed that move, Brenda listed my other home and worked tirelessly to find a buyer for me. I highly recommend Brenda and any of her fellow Windermere associates to help you sell and/or buy a home in this great area!

ZillowVERIFIEDI have bought and sold several houses in the course of my life but working with Brenda was the first time I felt like my realtor actually had my best interests at heart. She listened to my concerns, did a thoughtful analysis of my property and discussed my options during negotiations with me. If I were to buy or sell another house in the Spokane area, Brenda is the only realtor I'd want to work with.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrenda was the best realtor Ive ever worked with. We were out of state so a little nervous about the process. Shes on the dime through every bit of it and we didnt really need to worry about anything. Shes adept at dealing with any challenge that comes up. We would highly recommend her

ZillowVERIFIEDBrenda did an amazing job getting our estate sale house on the market and sold. She had an open house immediately, had contacts with local investors, was familiar with the estate sale process (which put our minds at ease). She is friendly, conscientious, and very responsive. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrenda was most helpful! Our home was very unique and I'm sure we would have had a much harder time selling without her assistance. Obviously, I would recommend her to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrenda was an outstanding realtor to work with. We have worked with her twice now, both in purchasing a home and in selling. Both times she was knowledgeable, professional, and walked us through the process. She communicated quickly and was always available to answer questions big & small and provide great advice along the way. We couldn't recommend her enough to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. If you're looking for a great partner in what can easily be a very overwhelming process, this is your person!

ZillowVERIFIEDBrenda was outstanding to work with. She came highly recommended as a motivated realtor. There is a lot to navigate when it comes to buying your home and Brenda made it easy to understand. We were moving from out of state and she made it feel like we were right there with her as she made a video of the house we were interested. Making it accessible made it easy to decide when we needed to fly down to see the house. Through the whole process she was candid and fair in her guidance and recommendations. Once we purchased the home Brenda continued to step up to help out with letting contractors in until we arrived. This experience has been so amazing we now consider Brenda a good friend!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe recently purchased our home in December of 2024, Brenda was very helpful in the entire process my husband and I had never owned a brand new home before. Brenda walked us through what to expect what to ask for, and when our mail was returned even after closing, Brenda questioned why we hadnt got the keys to our mailbox for a brand new home. Simply put Brenda goes above and beyond, she has done a wonderful job.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrenda was amazing from the get go. She understood my wants and needs. My new home purchase came very quickly after the sale of my previous home. Brenda worked closely with the agent selling my home to coordinate the purchase of my new home. It was pretty smooth considering the timeline. You want the best call Brenda!

ZillowVERIFIEDFirst off I want to thank Brenda for everything she did for us during our year and a half house search, we lived five hours away from Spokane so Brenda did a lot of video shoots for us along with setting up viewings. Brenda is very informative and knowledgeable about the process. You will not be disappointed in using Brenda for your home searching. My wife and I would like to personally thank her for all she did for us from beginning to the final paperwork signing. Thank you again for your outstanding support throughout the process. Your positive attitude makes a big difference to any buyer that comes your way. Will definitely recommend Brenda to anyone that's moving east of the mountains. Thank you again Brenda for everything.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrenda was an incredible during our home buying process. We had to do a lot of coordination remotely as we were purchasing a home while living in Kentucky and Brenda was extremely accommodating with her long distance communication and her willingness and flexibility to work on east coast time and on weekends when I was able to fly in and look at houses. It was especially nice when she let me carpool during a rare Spokane blizzard! At the end of the day Brenda helped us get the house we really wanted and kept the stress levels down, even during some solid negotiating. Highly recommend this agent!

ZillowVERIFIEDBrenda was absolutely amazing to work with. We heard of her through word of mouth and it was overall a great experience as first time home buyers. She was very responsive to our calls and texts and answered all of my questions(of which I had many). We found a perfect home for us very quickly and she was even able to negotiate an added garage door opener for us! I loved being able to send things to her directly from the app and I was amazed at how quickly she set up appointments for us. Brenda is the best 10/10 would recommend.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrenda is one of the best. She got us into our first home, then 3 years later, got us into our second forever home. She's an excellent negotiator and we were able to beat out all other competing bids and stay under budget. Every since our first home, Brenda has been like family. She remembers every birthday and even comes to the occasional family BBQ! If you are looking for an honest agent who will not hide the truth from you, get Brenda.

ZillowVERIFIEDBeing outside the US, my wife and I thought the house-buying process was going to be unbearable. Brenda was able to alleviate the home-buying stress from day one. Since we were still in the UK, she provided her walk-through videos of the houses we were interested in. During the closing, she'll advise the best course of action for negotiating. Thank you, Brenda.

Review for Member: Brenda McKinley
ZillowVERIFIEDI worked with Brenda in buying my home when I first moved to Spokane Valley and when I sold a couple years later. She started working with me while I was still living on the east coast and was so helpful in finding the right home. Her housewarming gift was so sweet and thoughtful! Brenda stayed in touch even after buying my home and sent little care packages from time to time, offered family drive-in movie nights, and even gave us a delicious pie for Thanksgiving. She really goes above and beyond to welcome new clients and I did not even question who my realtor would be when I decided to sell. Selling with her was so smooth, even as I had to leave sooner than expected for the closing. Her team made it seamless and my house was shown beautifully thanks to her network. I would recommend her to anyone in the area! Thank you Brenda!!

ZillowVERIFIEDAs a first time home buyer without any family in the area to help us, Brenda took us under her wing and guided us throughout the entire process. Always answering any dumb question I had and proving she genuinely wanted the best for us when buying a house. It just felt like we had an old friend there with us throughout our journey. We were so happy we chose Brenda and cannot imagine going through it without her!

ZillowVERIFIEDI met Brenda line dancing a few years ago and now have a friend for life! She's absolutely incredible at her job. I wanted to sell my house by owner to get the most $$ possible for my cross country move. I asked Brenda her advice on FSBO and she said I'll make you more money than you can by yourself. And she did! Not only did she exceed my expectations but I didn't have to do all the work. Brenda is kind, honest, funny, caring, reliable, hardworking and I could go on and on. But don't let all her niceness fool you if she sees something looks amiss she's not afraid to go to bat for you and call someone out. She'll make sure your transaction goes well no matter what. She's a stand up gal whom I admire and respect. Thank you Brenda McKinley!!

ZillowVERIFIEDLets face it, moving is never fun and rarely easy or smooth going. Add the uncertainties and financial stress of house selling and it could be a real nightmare. Fortunately for us, we were blessed to find and choose Brenda McKinley as the realtor to list our house. Once we contacted Brenda McKinley, she set up an appointment to come to our house and give us professional advice on how to best to prepare for pictures and showings. She was knowledgeable about what would be worth spending money on and what would not, guiding us to make the choices based the current market and the pros/cons of our house. Prior to open houses and showings, she worked with us to develop a plan to keep our pets safe and as unstressed as possible. She was flexible and patient with our changing schedules, keeping us in the loop with current market trends and housing availability to list when we could the best priceaEUR"her work and skills resulted in multiple offers that were more than we ever expected to get for our house. Brenda educated and worked with us to go through all the offers based on our priorities. Once we accepted an offer, she kept us informed on how things were going, answered all our questions, as well as facilitated transactions across 3 time zones. We are still amazed at how quickly and thoroughly she communicated with us and how smoothly things went with her leading us. Being a military family and having moved cross county and bought/sold a few houses in the last 20 years, we can honestly say, working with Brenda McKinley was by far the best experience we have had. We would highly and unreservedly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a house. Her knowledge and experience, work ethic, and personal attention to her clients and their wants/needs set her apart as an especially amazing realtor.

ZillowVERIFIEDBrenda is more than just a realtor, she's a great friend. She helps you in every way and goes above and beyond what you could hope or dream for in a home. She explains everything so you understand what is going on and is so real with you about each house you look at. She's not just trying to sell you a house, she helps you find your home you're meant to be in. She cares about all the little details that you would want and if it doesn't work, she does her best to find something that does. No matter how many houses you look at, she's in 100%. I would choose her as my realtor again and again!!

Review for Member: Brenda McKinley
ZillowVERIFIEDI was a total beginner at this and didn't know where to begin. From my first meeting with Brenda, I knew that I was in excellent hands. I was confident that Brenda would walk me through this house buying journey and I truly believed it would be stress free. And guess what? It WAS stress free! Within a few weeks, she found the perfect house for me AND the house I bought was the ONLY house I looked at! I saw the home on a Sunday evening, she put in the offer that night, and the next morning, she talked to Seller into picking me out of all his over-the-asking-price offers! She was available 24/7, answered all my questions, and you can just hear her smiling on the other end of the phone. She arranged for the movers, had the new house cleaned, AND connected me to an incredible group of professionals outside of the home buying experience. She not only is a an awesome realtor but an incredibly compassionate person who has the biggest heart I know. She is constantly giving back to her community, her friends, and people she doesn't even know. I'm so thankful to be a part of her friendship circle. Yes, she's my realtor but she's also an awesome friend!

ZillowVERIFIEDThe purchase of our house is the third real estate transaction Brenda spearheaded for us. This transaction, like the 2 previous,(buying and selling) went very well thanks to Brenda's expertise, hard work and most of all patience. She has always been readily available, prompt and is very personable. We could not have asked for a better person to represent and assist us in this very difficult housing market.

Review for Member: Brenda McKinley
ZillowVERIFIEDWe enlisted Brenda's help in purchasing a house when we first moved to the Spokane area. Subsequently she sold that house for us and is currently assisting us in the purchase of our next home. All the transactions have gone flawlessly thanks to her expertise, guidance and hard work. She is always responsive to our inquiries no matter how trivial. She is currently working to get us a new home in a very difficult market and even though we get discouraged easily, especially when one of our offers are not accepted, she provides encouragement and positive reinforcement that we will land the home we want. She is very personable and a pleasure to work with and has the contacts necessary to ensure smooth transactions for both buyer and seller. We highly recommend Brenda.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy sister needed to sell her house here in the Spokane Valley even though she was living in California with her daughter due to health issues. Brenda helped coordinate moving all of her stuff to California before preparing the house to sell. She is an excellent communicator and has many good local resources to get the house ready. The house was staged beautifully and was spic and span clean. She is very skilled with social media and promoted the house very well. Within a week she had multiple above asking price offers! Even though my sister was out of state, she kept in constant communication and facilitated all of the paperwork. The house closed within a month with no problems. Brenda was very kind during the process as it was emotionally difficult for my sister to part with the house that she had for years. I would highly recommend Brenda as a highly skilled and ethical realtor!

ZillowVERIFIEDBrenda was an amazing real estate agent!! She made everything so easy, and her process for preparing the home, walk throughs, open house, was all so laid out and minimally invasive for us. Essentially everything happened in one weekend, then we had 10 offers. Her video add and use of a photographer for both in/outdoor home shots, but also drone footage made the property very appealing to the market. I would highly recommend Brenda McKinley to anyone!

ZillowVERIFIEDBrenda is hands down the best realtor you will hire, deal with, work with etc. She is extremely knowledgeable with what needs to be done and explains the process very well step by step, and knows the ins abs outs of just about everything there is to know in the business. She cares about you as a client before and after the fact. I purchased my house with her and also sold the same house with her and within the past 2 and half years knowing her she has always kept in touch seeing how things were going with the home I purchased and also with whats going on in my life. She is truly one of a kind and if you choose her as your realtor you will have a smooth transaction and will not be disappointed in anyway.

From very pointed and candid advice regarding what to touch up or address in and around the home to reassurance during the complex process of selling our home and buying the next one.

We really felt cared for during the process and consider Brenda a good friend! What a bonus!

ZillowVERIFIEDWhat to say about Brenda? I could say a whole lot. She was not my first choice as an agent, she was my 2nd. I had another agent recommended by a colleague and I used them for 6 months before I dropped them for lack of effort. I went back and picked up my 2nd choice, Brenda. Trust me, I shouldve done that in the first place. Yes, she is entirely and thoroughly competent. Yes, she understands the local market completely. Yes, shes connected nationally and internationally for high-end properties. But lots of agents are. What distinguishes Brenda is her absolute honesty and her joy in helping others. At first, I thought it was aEURoesalesman talk.aEUR? You know, seemingly very friendly, solicitous, and accommodating. As situations arose over the months we worked with her, what I found is thats just her! She honestly and truly puts her clients first. She honestly and truly cares about the people she works with and for. Ive never recommended a real estate agent before, but I cant recommend her highly enough. Shes the real deal!

ZillowVERIFIEDBrenda was highly recommended by a trusted source and we now know why! Knowledgeable, patient and trustworthy are the first words that come to mind. We ran into some hiccups while in the closing process and were so grateful that Brenda was in our corner. We needed an advocate and she came through beyond all expectations. She helped us find and close on our forever home but we won't need to look far if we ever need a real estate professional in the future!

She made both processes easy and took the time to explain each step. She was always there if I needed anything.

ZillowVERIFIEDHow lucky did we get when I clicked on Zillow tour this home, and got connected to Brenda McKinley? Wow. We had lived in the same house we built for forty years so we were hesitant to dive in and find a realtor that we know we could trust. From the very first house she showed us, we knew she was the real deal. She obviously knew her stuff. She is the perfect combination of being a professional while building a personal relationship with her clients to land the perfect house just for them. She did that for us and we never would have found this house without her. She also helped us sell our house and everything from start to finish was seamless. We recommend Brenda to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is the best!
