When Mae West said, "Too much of a good thing is wonderful," she could have been referring to the quality service Brenda's clients say they expect and receive from this dynamite team! Brenda Bonebrake was born in Kittery, Maine, the last of four children in a whirlwind Air Force family, originally from Oregon. She now owns a 70 acre farm with her husband Dave and 2 daughters. Besides being an avid reader, Brenda loves gardening, camping, antiques, kids and the smell of wood and sheetrock in a good building supply store! She's also known for her legendary sweet tooth and her love of practical jokes. Brenda lives by the phrase, "I believe you should keep your promises no matter what, and that you shouldn't do anything that wouldn't make your mother proud." Hailing from Virginia, Sandy comes from a television production background, where she worked for a NBC affiliate both in front of and behind the camera. Her life took a different turn when she followed her true love to the West Coast, where she found her "other" perfect match - real estate. Sandy's clients find her warm southern charm irresistible. Leslie Stewart is a "Canyon Girl" having been raised in Mill City. She is one of our full-time buyer's agents and loves leading her buyer's through all the facets of home buying. Mary Gries is the newest member of our team. She has been a Stayton resident since 1972. Her conscientiousness and wonderful sense of humor make her an invaluable addition to our team. Mary is working full-time with our buyers. Cyndi Bolduc is a transplant from Maine and Hawaii and is the team member who's always available at our office to smoothly handle all the hundreds of details that crop up each day as our licensed assistant and customer care specialist. Winners of the coveted Chairman's Circle Award for each of the past 10 years, The Brenda Bonebrake and Sandy Edwards Team are in the top 1% of Prudential Agents nationwide and are the top agents in the Stayton office.

“We” means we. Whether you realize it or not, the member of our team that you work with the most, is more than just one. No one is left unsupported. Learning is shared, not hoarded.
