Brenda Fontaine – Founder & Mentor
Brenda Fontaine is the visionary founder of Fontaine Family – The Real Estate Leader®, where she continues to play a pivotal role as a mentor and recruiter. Her real estate journey began in 1983 as a single agent, and through dedication and an unwavering commitment to excellence, she built one of the most respected real estate teams in the region.
Early in her career, Brenda quickly established herself as a top performer, earning statewide recognition for closed transactions after just her first full year in the business. She went on to receive ERA’s Most Prestigious National Award, "Top All-Around Agent," multiple times, along with numerous other accolades and all-expense-paid trips for her outstanding achievements.

A decade later, in 2009, the team transitioned into an independent brokerage, giving rise to Fontaine Family – The Real Estate Leader®—a name synonymous with exceptional service, integrity, and results.
