Meet Our Team

Brenda D. Bratt, Realtor

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by to learn more about me and my team and how we can serve you. One thing you'll quickly find is that I have never met a stranger! Iam a Realtor because I have always enjoyed being an advocate for people regardless of the situation or which career I have worked in. My clients are my priority and often become like family. They know I will do anything I can to make sure they are well taken care of in the EASIEST way possible. It's stressful enough packing and moving; you shouldn’t need to worry about the rest because my team and I have that under control. We are here to get you Home!

I have lived in Franklin County my whole life - from the lake to the country to the city and everywhere in between. Being a Realtor, my home is always for sale! I love having the option to either enjoy the lake life or a peaceful spot in the country all while having the convenience of two cities and a town within minutes when I don't want to wait for my two day shipping with Amazon. Life here is pretty sweet and has a lot to offer! Give me a shout and I'll be happy to show you. In my spare time, I enjoy chauffeuring my little people to all their sport activities, spending time with my husband and kids exploring all of the great hiking spots, fishing holes, restaurants, and history all from the SML to Roanoke and beyond. We just love adventures!

Irene May, Realtor

I have been involved in real estate for the past 21 years, first investing and renovating homes, and then as an agent for the past 6 years.  Over that time, I have found much success, but more importantly have gained the valuable experience needed to help my clients realize their property goals.  Every day, I look forward to taking that experience and reaching new people to discuss with them the possibilities available in real estate. I understand the struggle and challenges! From investing to moving up to downsizing, I listen to my clients wants and needs and go to whatever lengths possible to see that they get the right fit. A house is the biggest investment most Americans ever make and you should walk away from the transaction happy and satisfied. Let me help you find your next investment, project, or dream home!

Hello, I'm Joe Bratt, and I'm not just your average realtor. I'm a proud family man, Navy Veteran, and college graduate with a burning desire to help people achieve their dream of buying a home.

As a family man, I know the importance of finding the perfect home for your loved ones. I believe that a home is not just a physical space but a place where memories are made, and dreams are nurtured. That's why I take the time to listen to my clients' needs, preferences, and aspirations, ensuring that I find them a home that truly reflects their unique lifestyle and goals.

What truly sets me apart is my genuine passion for helping others. I firmly believe that everyone deserves a place to call their own, and I am committed to making the home buying experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
