Your Northern Virginia Real Estate Guide
For over a decade, Janelle Brevard has called Northern Virginia home, establishing deep roots in the Aldie community where she lives with her husband and three children. Her journey to real estate was a natural evolution, combining her passion for helping families with extensive experience in housing industry marketing and communications. Janelle spent seven transformative years working in the White House, including serving as a speechwriter for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. This experience honed her ability to navigate complex negotiations, skills that now benefit every client she serves.
Before entering real estate, Janelle spent years leading marketing, communications, and storytelling teams within the housing industry.

From Stale to Sold
A Case Study in Strategic Repositioning
The Problem
When I met the owner of a Manassas condo, she was frustrated. Her home had been sitting on the market unsold. The listing had gone stale, and she was ready to move on but weren’t sure how.
The Result
Multiple showings, strong interest, and an offer above asking price. This isn’t a one-off story — it’s proof that with the right strategy, your home can stand out and sell for top dollar.
The Solution
Here’s how I helped them turn things around:
Fresh Marketing
Professional photography and updated listing copy to highlight the condo’s best features.
Smart Pricing Strategy
We repositioned the home based on hyper-local
market data.
Storytelling That Resonated
Instead of just square footage, we told the story of lifestyle — access, convenience, and comfort.
"Real estate is about more than transactions – it's about transitions. I'm honored to guide families through one of life's most significant decisions, whether they're first-time buyers, growing families needing more space, or empty nesters ready to downsize. My goal is to make every client feel like they're my only client."
