"I am happy to share my recommendation, and experience with Brenda and her team at BHHS. Brenda and her team are extremely focused, professional, involved and innovative. For the transactions we worked on, she and the team went above and beyond in the entire process from inspection(s), escrow, marketing, negotiations, and paying strict attention to the little things and details that make all the difference. She has a great sense of humor, "does what she says", and works on behalf of her clients to get the job done, in an exemplary manner." - Joel

"If you want to get your home sold, Brenda and her team are the ones to go with! We could not have asked for a more professional agent who went above and beyond to sell our home quickly. We highly recommend Brenda, she is the best!. " - Diane
★★★★★
"Brenda was the best broker experience I've ever had. She not only honestly evaluated each of our opportunities, when we found what we wanted she worked through some of the most difficult seller issues I'd ever heard of or experienced. She defended me as a buyer, arranged for all the contractors to come in and provide work estimates so that we could property establish our budget and she continues to follow up today, after the closing, to make certain that we are okay that the contractors are behaving. She's just amazing!" - Jamie

★★★★★
"I highly recommend Brenda and her entire team including BJ, Bev, and Rebecca. Brenda was available to us, even while on vacation. She represented us in buying and selling our house. She did so with patience, integrity, knowledge, and with a sense of humor. After both houses closed, Brenda continued to stay in touch and has been extremely helpful and has continued to stay in touch. I would not hesitate to use her services again. She is an amazing agent, and we were fortunate to have her with us from start to finish. " - Michele
★★★★★
" I would like to take a moment to offer my highest recommendation for my Realtor, Brenda McCroskey, and her team – Beverley Johnson, Bev White and Danielle Kaiden. Brenda has handled 8 Real Estate transactions for me and she never fails to impress with her excellent negotiating skills, level of commitment and accessibility. She has mainly handled Residential Income properties for myself and my company and has a clear understanding of what works and what doesn’t in the Investment Market. I recently came out of a large 1031 Exchange and Brenda handled one of my 5 transactions, my only one in Orange County. She negotiated a great price, some concessions, and closed ours faster than any of the others and without any hiccups, which I greatly appreciate and admire. Many thanks to Brenda and her Team for the great profits, smooth transactions, and most of all, friendship and support we enjoy." - Lawrence
★★★★★
" Brenda and her Team have represented us in over 14 purchase, sale & lease transactions. She is my exclusive Residential and Residential Income agent and I can't begin to recommend her enough. She understands my investment strategies, always produces excellent profits, works tirelessly - there not a time of day I can't reach her - and does it all with grace, confidence and humor. I've never come across a Realtor so detail-oriented, yet making everything appear effortless and freeing me up to do what I do. I trust her implicitly. Please feel free to contact me should you need any further information/recommendations for Brenda McCroskey and her Team." - Anonymous
★★★★★
" Can I just say Brenda McCroskey is the best agent I have ever had. The numbers don't lie when it comes to her being in the top 1% of realtors nationwide. She is very thorough and diligent when it comes to disclosure agreements and even phone calls. There hasn't been a time when she doesn't contact me back right when she says she will. She has every buyer/seller's best interest at heart and she will not stop until you are satisfied with the results. I recommend her to any family/friend I know. You will be missing out tremendously if you don't hire her as your next agent. " - Kennedy
★★★★★
" Brenda is a professional real estate agent. She was very supportive of our needs to find our "forever" home. She worked tirelessly to show us many alternatives. Once we selected the right house for us, Brenda managed the purchase process flawlessly. Brenda is now helping our daughter find her first home. " - Pam & Kent
★★★★★
"Brenda and her team made the process easy and fun. Brenda's advice resulted in us selling the home the day it was listed, and closing 10 days later. The overall experience was very positive." - Kim & David
★★★★★
"From the day we met you at Surrey, we knew you were the one for us! We wanted a broker who was smart, knowledgeable and fun, and we found these & many other great qualities in you! You provided important insight into various Newport Beach neighborhoods and guided us through a significant decision. After closing we sipped champagne on our patio furniture and had a wonderful celebratory dinner at Broadway… all thanks to you! You went above and beyond for us and we truly appreciate everything you did!" - Jennifer & John
★★★★★
"Dear Beverley and Brenda, We are on the plane flying to Oregon. By the time you read this we will be very busy unpacking our umpteen boxes and starting a new life in Oregon – it will be good! We will miss out home near the ocean, but especially our family and friends there! We do not know how to express our great appreciation to you gals for all that you did to make the sale of our house go SO smoothly! You were wonderful! And then to pitch in (rescue us!) and pack boxes – beyond the call of duty!!! You told us you wouldn’t do that for everyone – but you liked us! Well, we certainly like you! We will always consider you dear friends and will miss you! May God Bless you Always!" - Harlan & Nancy
★★★★★
"We recommend Realtor Brenda McCroskey very highly. In working with her both on the sale of our former home in Corona del Mar and the purchase of our new home in the Bluffs, Newport Beach, Brenda was a terrific help and always a pleasure to work with. Brenda was assertive, persistent, thorough and always willing to go that extra mile to answer our questions. We always felt that she understood our priorities and represented our interests very well. Feel free to call us if you have any questions about our experiences with Brenda." - Kim & Dave Miller
★★★★★
"Thank you, Brenda, for all of the good news today! Your help was essential and very productive in finally getting all of our tenancy issues settled. It will make my family reunion a worry-free time to reconnect and relax. Thanks also for the good news that the house has closed escrow and the proceeds will transfer on Tuesday. You and your team are real pros and we appreciate your tireless work on our behalf. Thanks!" - Linda & Paul
