Find Your Dream Home

Dena, Just a thank you for all of your assistance in the sale of my mom's condo.  You helped everything move along so smoothly.  We couldn't have done it without you!!

It was a pleasure working with you!  

We hired Dena to sell a property in Edwardsville. She was awesome from the beginning until close. If you are looking for someone to help you buy or sell a home, I'd highly recommend her. She was great at giving advice, making recommendations and she always answers her phone. Sounds simple, but trust me, it's not easy to find. Thank you Dena for a great experience.

Dena Brinkman was a delight to work with in the listing and selling process with our home. Her professional and personal approach was greatly appreciated! Dena is a dedicated agent that communicated consistently, making recommendations and encouraging us through out the process. We would recommend Dena Brinkman to anyone searching for a relator with a solid understanding of the market and our Madison County communities.

As a first time homebuyer, Dena made the process very easy for me, even when I was presented with some difficult decisions that I could not make on my own. She is very knowledgeable of Edwardsville and the surrounding areas, which greatly simplified my search. She was very responsive and helpful throughout, and I would certainly recommend her to any and all others looking to buy or sell in the area!

Dena is very friendly and easy for us to communicate with. My husband and I are deaf. We had been searching for the houses with the other realtors and they made me felt that they didn't take us seriously and one of them looking down at us. We had to search for a new realtor until my mother in law referred me to her realtor that helped her finding the house, and I m glad I have got Dena to helps us finding the house. She is opened mind, and always find times for us to see the houses. We couldn't get this wonderful house we just brought without her!

We found Dena online, as we were dealing with an out-of-state move. We liked her brief video about tips for finding the right realtor. Dena is very responsive, knowledgeable about the geographic area she works in and about the area of real estate. She helped us immensely by hiring professional companies for all the services needed and is experienced with out-of-state moves, due to the local AFB. We truly appreciate Dena going above and beyond to answer our questions and it was nice to finally meet her in person when we were in town. We've bought and sold many homes and would not hesitate to recommend Dena.

Dena made buying a house a breeze! As first time home buyers, she answered all our questions and made sure we got the home of our dreams!

We hired Dena to help us find a home and she knocked it out of the park! With Dena’s help, we were able to put an offer in lower than what the seller was asking for and get many things repaired by the seller before we moved in! Overall my wife and I had a wonderful experience and I would recommend Dena to anyone looking for a new home.

I don't think I could say enough about how much we have enjoyed having Dena as our realtor. We worked with Dena nine years ago when we purchased our first house based on a friends recommendation. We knew that when we decided to sell that house and buy a larger one this year we didn't want to work with anyone else. Dena has always been up front and honest about every part of both the buying and selling processes. She is sincere and helpful and was never once pushy. I appreciate her integrity and work ethic and her knowledge on not only the market, but what was needed from us both as buyers and sellers. She always took things out our pace, and was available to help in any way possible when we hit road bumps. On top of being a wonderful realtor, she is just a pleasant person to be around and she makes the entire home buying and selling experience enjoyable.

Dena is wonderful! This makes the fourth house that she has sold for me and the second purchase. We would not received the accepted offer on the house we just purchased without her insight and knowledge. I can’t say enough good things about her.

Dena was the most helpful, knowledgeable, and patient realtor! She was always there to answer any question we had (no matter how silly), set up viewings, meet with us in person, etc. She genuinely had our best interest in mind and was willing to help us through each step of the home buying process. We were first time home buyers and after a bit of searching and a lot of help from Dena we are now in our first home! I cannot say enough good things about Dena!

We highly recommend working with Dena! Dena has been our real estate agent for 8 years and has facilitated the purchase of our personal home as well as 2 investment properties. Dena is a pleasure to work with and, as is critical in this business, is extremely responsive. It's key to walk through a property as quickly as possible to have an opportunity to make a competitive offer. Dena responds at all times of the day and has never failed to ensure our quick access. She provides excellent and timely support and advice throughout the entire process. Dena is truly an exceptional real estate agent. She is knowledgeable, kind, and makes even a complex purchase effortless for the buyer.

I had the pleasure of working with Dena on our first home purchase and she was GREAT! She was very responsive to all of questions as we were fairly unfamiliar with the process. The information provided was very punctual and relevant as we were pretty specific in the type and location for our “forever” home. She was able to accommodate a variety of schedule conflicts due to the Coronavirus restrictions and countermeasures. Her knowledge of the local area homes and experience with the explanation of the buying process gave us a great confidence in her as our realtor. Would definitely recommend if new to the process or wanting to get better understanding of the homebuying stages and execution. THANKS DENA!

Thirteen years ago, we moved from Florida to Collinsville, IL. She was able to clear two days, one going & one coming to Kansas. The entire time we were with Dena, she was so thorough and complete. We vowed when we needed to move again, she would be our agent. This last year, we needed to downsize, which meant another move. Again, she was there for us. She was patient and understood the housing market. She understood unique things about our house and educated herself on the spa and basement systems. She was very involved in our inspections and guided us in things we needed to correct. She is realistic, positive & has much common sense. She is wise in her communication. She works very hard to get a buyer. We never had to wait long to get a reply from her. She was a business friend and now a personal friend. I would recommend her to all my friends.

Dena is the perfect combination needed for an amazing realtor! She’s professional yet friendly, hard-working but not pushy, and she is responsive to her clients’ needs. Dena has helped me buy and sell 5 houses since 2009. I highly recommend you choose Dena Brinkman the next time you need a realtor!
