Tammi Brooks
Whether you are ready to buy or sell—or both—I am delighted to get to work for you. My clients describe me as relentless, creative, and indefatigable in my efforts. If you are ready to sell, I will listen to you, study your house, and find its story—the quality of your home that will attract buyers—and then will develop a marketing plan tailored to you. I also work hard to help you prepare your home for sale—knowing which repairs or updates to make to maximize your return and staging your home to draw attention to the best qualities of your home. I also specialize in Internet and viral marketing, using all of the latest tools to maximize exposure for your property.
If you are a buyer, look no further. My great listening and sleuthing skills guarantee you will find the right home. Known to beat the bushes—calling For Sale By Owners or even writing letters to folks whose house isn’t on the market but is a perfect match for a buyer—I will do what it takes to find you the right home.
In my spare time, I love spending time with my kids and husband, gardening, and, when time permits, rock climbing.

Jenny Brugnolotti-Barrier
From Trinity Park to Parkwood , I have renovated houses all over Durham. I know how to appreciate the diverse neighborhoods that Durham has to offer and would love the opportunity to learn about you and help you find the perfect place to call home. After five years of designing kitchens and baths, I understand all kinds of houses and styles. Let me use my connections and my background in construction to help you make an educated decision about your investment! I love my job and I love my clients. As buyer’s agent or seller’s agent, I put my clients’ needs first and love to come up with creative solutions to help them realize their dreams.
I have a BA in Studio Art from The Catholic University of America, and I spend my free time as a jeweler and a painter. I also love to garden, cook and play with my four perfect nephews. I’m currently renovating a 1960 ranch in Parkwood with my husband, Robert and our new puppy, Oliver.
