Welcome to Brenda George Homes and Design, where we transform spaces into captivating havens. Whether it's a home, a bathroom, a kitchen, an office or a vacation home we specialize in breathing new life into every corner. With our innovative approach trendy materials and attention to detail, we guarantee turn around fast and beat the competition prices.

"Prior to meeting Brenda, I was with another realtor who I loved! But the market is and was tough, so there was no inventory. I realized that if I was going to get what I wanted, I was going to need someone who was "hungry", and was going to really advocate for me. Then I met Brenda at a social event and I knew immediately that she was who I was looking for! She would be on it! I contacted her afterward, and she responded immediately, but the stars didn't align for us until about a month in when the home she said was not on the market was available for me. She put an offer in, managed to make the offer strong enough that the owner would not list it, and she advocated for me ferociously throughout the entire process! She's a tiger! And she's absolutely reliable! I was even travelling internationally during escrow, and we managed to close while I was abroad! So many bumps and hills along the way, but she sweat blood and tears to close that deal! I am forever grateful to her for that! THEN, she ended up helping me renovate the property from the beginning to the end! She even decorated it, and helped me stage the other side of the duplex to rent it out. You would not believe the before and after pictures! And, she did it on a budget to which no one else could compare. She managed to find furniture for a near steal...it was a miracle! Now, she still manages the online rental processes and I refer her to whomever I can! You want Brenda in your corner! She's well respected in the industry and gets her way, which is "your way"."

Thank you for considering me for all of your real estate needs. I have been a full-time realtor since 2005 and have consistently been recognized as one of the top producing realtors in the area. Why? The simple answer is that I simply do more than most realtors at no extra cost to my clients. I present and market every home I sell, from one bedroom condos, to 5 bedroom oceanview homes, as if it were a luxury property. I put tremendous time and effort into strategically pricing, professionally marketing, aggressively negotiating for my clients and ultimately helping them with every step in the process. With over 60 5-star reviews I hope my past success and client satisfaction ease any concerns that I am the right choice for all of your real estate needs.

"Keith went above & beyond to help us find our dream condo in Redondo Beach The Villages. We lived in NY and started our search in September 2019 and then the pandemic derailed things, as well as the crazy Ca market. Keith was constantly on the lookout for a condo that would be the right fit for us. Once we found the home we loved, he worked diligently to secure it for us. Keith never pushed us to do anything outside of our comfort zone and he was our advocate during the negotiation process of buying a home. He responded to our calls, texts & emails promptly and was very accommodating of our tight schedule when we would travel out to the South Bay to look at properties. After closing, he helped us to find a NY based broker to sell our 35+ year home and also continued to help us by checking on the condo during a building construction, and helping us to find reasonable trade people for repairs and upgrades and also checking on the work being done there for us. Keith is hands down one of the most honest, reliable, trustworthy and empathetic people I have ever met, unlike some other brokers we ran across during our search."

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.

Pergolas may have a 50% to 80% return on investment, whether they’re standard, manual, motorized, or smart pergolas. Your pergola will add more value when you choose a structure made from durable, long-lasting materials and when the pergola is properly installed by a professional. Extra features like a motorized roof, smart louvers, and heaters or misters may give you a better ROI.

No, radon mitigation systems do not decrease home value or make a home harder to sell. In areas where homes experience similar radon exposure risks, a radon mitigation system is viewed as an improvement. Potential homebuyers often opt to buy a home with a radon mitigation system already installed to reduce the risk of cancer for their families.

Finishing a basement can add value to your house by transforming an unused area into valuable living space. Finished basements can provide an average 70% return on investment (ROI), depending on your area and the type of basement. As long as you follow all local building codes, including installing points of egress, you may be able to count a finished basement toward your home’s total square footage.
