Trudy Brussard

INTEGRITY, PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGABLE are words that have meaning for me.  A Realtor since 1987, I'm always eager to learn, willing to share, and to do things the right way. I have taken the time to earn professional designations, serve on professional committees, and use this information to help clients in the increasingly complex world of real estate.

Searching for more ways to increase my services I have added an EcoBroker certification to my toolbox. I always have been interested in our environment, so earning an EcoBroker certification made perfect sense. Helping buyers and sellers with homes and issues relating to energy efficiency, health, conserving resources, and other "green" issues, is a natural for me.

Growing up globally (as an Air Force brat) I always have been acutely aware of the impact our life styles have on just about everything.  Living in many places (CA, NY, MT, TX, AL, NB, ID, England, etc.) has allowed me to relate to many people and their customs.  It's a good combination for helping me successfully to understand my clients' needs and desires.

Participation in our dynamic community is definitely on my schedule, and non-profits and community service keep me busy. Traveling, cooking, entertaining, yoga, painting, reading and walking my dog fill my spare time.
