Brenda has been worked with me and my family on two home purchases, one home sale, and on year round rental in the past 2 years! All transactions were smooth and completely worry free. Tell Brenda what you are looking to do, and she will make it happen!

Brenda is the best. She helped me buy a condo - sight unseen. She helped me sift through all relevant listings and did all of the visits and sent videos for me. She assisted me in every way possible with recommendations, contractors, lawyers etc - ending up with a perfect closing with no issues! It was a great end to end experience. There is no better realtor in NJ or Florida! I highly recommend Brenda for all of your real estate needs!

Brenda was absolutely terrific to work with. I initially listed a property with her, subsequently we jointly decided that renting the property was the best option at the time, and 5 years later I sold the property. Brenda had my interests at heart from the beginning of this whole process.I would HIGHLY recommend her.

It gives me great pleasure to wholeheartedly endorse Brenda Connolly, broker and owner of The Connolly Agency, Avon-by-the-Sea, NJ, as a truly stellar real estate professional. Brenda did an absolutely magnificent job with our transaction. Without question I would highly recommend her for buyer and seller alike.I first met Brenda at the open house of a new-construction project seven years ago. I was a prospective buyer. Her enthusiasm, positive attitude, and swift thinking impressed me. She made such an impact on me that six years later, as we were contemplating the sale of a different property and purchase of another, Brenda was the first person to come to mind. With great patience and understanding, she reviewed many purchase options with us. In the end, we decided to wait to sell due to personal issues. When we were ready to put our condo on the market, Brenda was right there waiting for us. In record time, she dealt with all the necessary details with a level of thoroughness that impressed even a detail person like myself. Throughout the process Brenda was in constant communication with us: responding immediately to text, phone, and email messages, even when she was out of state.Brendas top performance was never at the cost of the personal, sensitive touch. She pays attention to her clients needs, and really listens. It would have been impossible for us to complete our sale without her, because I was doing so remotely, living in NYC and working in Connecticut while selling a Jersey Shore property. Brenda made me feel like I was personally there, interacting with every detail I wanted to micromanage. At the same time, she did ALL the aEURoeheavy liftingaEUR? (literal and figurative) to help us sell a property long-distance. From staging to dA(C)cor and furniture sales, interfacing with HOAs and hiring workmen, she covered all the bases.Brenda never takes a cookie-cutter approach. She realizes that every clients needs are unique. She never pressures; rather she pays attention to how you can be happy with your home: whether finding a new place yourself or turning a beloved residence over to a new owner. The human touch, accomplished with thorough professionalism, extraordinary efficiency and detail, and absolute fairness define Brendas identity as a broker. I would recommend her to any friend, family member, or acquaintance. She will provide a level of expertise, service, and humanity unmatched in any broker Ive worked with in multiple transactions in NYC, NJ, and Connecticut. Even in tough moments, her positive attitude, sense of humor, and willingness to get down to work will assure any client that they made the right choice in a broker. You can also be satisfied youve made a very fair deal. In a time when life has gone online, Brendas technological sophistication never loses the human connection. Youll never feel youre bothering her. She will brainstorm with you to find the best solution to challenges that arise and problems you dont know the answer to. She will also help you find a way to have peace of mind about selling your home or buying a new one. That is golden.
