Areas of Expertise

Brenda specializes in the listing and sales of Kitsap County real estate in Bremerton, Poulsbo, Silverdale, Bainbridge Island, Kingston, Suquamish, Indianola, Hansville, and Port Orchard, WA. The Kitsap Peninsula is located across Puget Sound from Seattle. Commuting to work in Seattle via the Washington State Ferries is common, and in this respect Kitsap County functions as a suburb of Seattle. Her husband Hugh is a Naval Academy graduate and retired Navy submarine officer, so she is very familiar with military life and programs that support military moves to Naval Base Kitsap, Keyport, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, and local support facilities.

Brenda sells residential properties, land, condominiums, multifamily dwellings, and new construction homes. She specializes in the sale of waterfront properties and land.

Jason and Kelly Morris
Bought a home in Bremerton through agent Noelle Osborn of Prowse & Company

"Noelle - We can't thank you enough for helping us and giving us the gift of being able to raise our girls in a home of our own. This special season will be their 1st Christmas in their home."

Brian and Susan Burns
Bought a home through agent Jim Valentine of Prowse & Company and referred a friend.

"Dear Brenda, and especially Lori and Taylor — Thank you so very much for the lovely roses you sent us this afternoon. They are sitting in the place of honor in our entry hall and they are beautiful!! We felt very secure in referring your realty to our friends, Sandi and Mike Cruickshank. As I told you last year, we were extremely pleased with the service we received from Jim Valentine - who showed us 17 houses in one day and followed through as our agent during the escrow process while we were still living in California. He was fabulous and, Lori and Taylor, so are you. The Cruickshanks are delighted with your patience and knowledge and ability to make things happen quickly. I spoke with them today and they are in serious discussions about several of the homes you showed them. Again, thank you for the wonderful roses. We will enjoy them over the next days and remember you the next time someone asks us to recommend a realtor."

Dr. Michael and Toni Grabowski
Sold a home in Suquamish through Prowse & Company

"Thank you, Brenda and the team at Prowse and Company. We were so pleased with your service. You are a great communicator which helped tremendously in the process of selling our waterfront home on Balzow Rd.
in Suquamish. The weekly reports which you e mailed kept us up to date on the the showings, the feed back from buyers, the market trends. We appreciated your honesty in this difficult real estate market; it was not always what we wanted to hear but it was the truth, was appropriate and resulted in the successful sale of our home. We highly recommend Prowse and Company."

Terry and Bethany Lew
Sold a home in Bremerton through Prowse & Company

"Thanks again for all your help in getting our house sold—it’s been a very stressful couple of months and the peace of mind that you provided has been invaluable. We don’t know if/when we’ll be back in the area, but we’ll certainly give your name to anyone who asks."

Scott and Laura Harkins
Sold a home in Poulsbo through Prowse & Company

"With Scott already in Georgia, I thought that I was going to be overwhelmed with selling this house by myself. But you have made the process very easy and smooth by setting up people to come fix what needed to be fixed to get this house sold. You have gone above and beyond the call of duty for me and for that, I am truly thankful!"

Charles and Nancy Swenson
Bought a home through Taylor and Lori Brown of Prowse & Company

"You guys rock! We can’t thank you enough for all you have done in helping us with our Poulsbo dream!"

Stan and Anita Smith
Bought a home in Poulsbo through agents Taylor & Lori Brown of Prowse & Company

"Please thank Hugh and your staff for doing such a great job for us. We really appreciated all the help. Taylor and Lori, but mostly Taylor at least from my end, were extremely helpful and in constant contact with us. Taylor took care of all the leg work and did an outstanding job. I don’t think I ever had a question or concern that he didn’t take care of. Kudos to him. Hugh jumped in as necessary and took care of whatever they couldn’t and left nothing unresolved."

Donna & Georgy Dimof
Sold a home in Poulsbo through Prowse & Company

"We are writing in reference to our real estate transaction during the fall of 2007 with Brenda Prowse & Company. We contracted with Brenda Prowse to sell our home in Poulsbo. From the first meeting with Brenda until our home closed, she and her staff communicated regularly with us regarding the status of our listing. They provided regular updates on mortgage rates, pending sales, market changes, etc. We especially appreciated Brenda’s honesty and knowledge of the local real estate market. Her experience in Kitsap County and her grasp of the market—during a record downturn in number of homes sold and decreasing prices—contributed to our home being sold in five weeks for our asking price. Brenda also successfully negotiated a longer closing time due to a family emergency during the counteroffer period. We would highly recommend Brenda Prowse & Company for any real estate needs. Her staff is extraordinarily knowledgeable and everyone responded quickly to questions and issues that arose during the sale process."
