How did you end up in VB?

  • I moved to Virginia 3 years ago when I decided to be a nanny for my nephew who had just been born. The plan was originally only for a couple months until a spot opened up in the air force daycare center, but I met my boyfriend and decided to stay!

Why did you decide to work at #KWHilltopVB?

What are some of your favorite things to do in VB?

  • Going to the beach and hanging out with the friends I have made at our office. I am also in school, so I don’t have TOO much spare time!

What would you say the top things/places tourists must do/visit before they leave the Virginia Beach area?

  • Before you leave the VA Beach area…you definitely NEED to explore the Nauticus Ship in Norfolk and take a walk along the ocean front.

Agent Interviews: Brandy Clark

Brandy Clark:

Where are you from?  

  • Born in VB; graduated from Great Bridge High School and Old Dominion University (B.S. in Psychology; M.S.Ed in Counseling)

Tell us a little bit about yourself:

How did you end up in VB?

  • We like being close to the water; close to my husband’s office; solid school system; husband grew up in Kempsville.

Why Did You Choose a Career Real Estate?

  • The heart behind my career in Real Estate is intentionally helping clients connect their goals and expectations with today’s market. I understand what it is like to stand in my clients’ shoes. Relocating several times – buying and selling houses of my own – has afforded me a certain sensitivity toward my clients’ journey, which can be attributed to the perspective I gained through my personal experience. In addition, through my real estate experience, I acquired skills to retain knowledge of available inventory, which is valuable in our time-sensitive culture. Born and raised in the Tidewater area, having navigated my two children through the Virginia Beach school system, serving on several administrative committees, and chairing extra-curricular organizations, I greatly appreciate the diverse needs of families in the community. 

Why did you decide to Join KW?

  • Keller Williams Realty’s mission, vision, and values directly align with my principles and beliefs.

Why did you choose our office to hang your license?

  • The people and the location!

What are some of your favorite things to do in VB?

  • Go to the beach, boating, paddle boarding, walk along the boardwalk, concerts, farmer’s market., real estate!

What would you say the top things/places tourists must do/visit before they leave the Virginia Beach area?

  • Walk the Boardwalk, have a picnic at the Bay, tour the Old Cape Henry Lighthouse, visit the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center, Ocean Breeze Water Park, walk the trails at Seashore Park.
