Brenda Leavitt

Managing partner Brenda Leavitt oversees the day-to-day business of the agency, including staffing and marketing. Skilled management has been a key element in Badger Realty's ability to provide the level of service and professionalism that customers have come to expect from the area's leading real estate firm. Education is a special focus, as Brenda says, "It's important that customers be informed and up-to-date on what's happening in the market and what their options are, as well as the overall process of the purchase and sale." Her experience, built over 32 years at Badger Realty and more than 35 years in the real estate business, makes her an invaluable resource for customers and agents alike. Brenda is licensed in both Maine and New Hampshire and holds the Certified Residential Brokerage Management designation, which requires completion of a rigorous management education program. This designation is held by only 2% of Realtors nationwide. Brenda attributes Badger's success in large part to the professionalism of the company's staff, which she regards as valued business partners. While she is a licensed real estate broker in both New Hampshire and Maine, she and the agency's founder, Dick Badger, do not compete with their agents, but instead support them in their efforts. They've been so successful that Badger Realty can boast the best retention of agents of any real estate firm in the region. A community activist, Brenda believes the key to success for both the company and community where you live and to give back to your community by becoming involved. Brenda's commitment to her career and community include: Past treasurer of the White Mountain Board of Realtors Member and past board of Director of Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce Board of Director for White Mountain Housing Coalition President of the White Mountain Community Health Center Founder of the Miranda Leavitt Diabetes Fund Advocacy Chair of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in Maine Advocacy Member of the American Diabetes Association Member of Community Health & Obesity Prevention Member of Mt.
