They provide weekly reports, dispensing useful information to their client base. Together, they find potential clients by using the internet, mailings and the old fashioned way of “cold calling.”

They have provided patient guidance and attention to the many details that affect the seasoned as well as the first time buyer. They have been on top of market trends to assist sellers. Their focus on details has been valued by both the buyer and seller.

Over the last thirty months, they have sold more than $13 million in property, with the median price of $280,000.

Noelle Osborn
Noelle Osborn - Buyer Agent
Noelle joined Prowse and Company as a buyer agent in August. Though she is technically a new agent you’ll find that she knows the business and will do a great job and be fun to work with, both because she already has an extensive sales background and because she has applied herself in this new field just as she has in a full career of past accomplishments. Noelle is a thirty year veteran of the Advertising and Promotions field. She has created successful promotions and advertising for major international companies and prominent personalities in entertainment. Noelle has been instrumental in the development of fund raising efforts for several international charitable events: including the “Save the Children Fund,” “Band Aid,” and the “Children’s Leukemia Foundation.” Noelle also had an extensive career in broadcast journalism, beginning with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and culminating in her own television and radio programs both overseas and in the United States. Noelle’s far-reaching and varied experience is the foundation of her creativity and insight in understanding client’s needs and providing answers. Noelle is a published poet and artist, and serves as a member of the board of directors of the Cultural Arts Foundation Northwest.

Chuck Finkbiner
Chuck Finkbiner, Field Superintendent
Chuck travels all over the County checking on the security of our listings and delivering flyers, signs, gifts, and doing the odd jobs that keep Prowse & Company running smoothly. He can also be hired for other odd jobs such as moving and hauling, and he has been known to bring a whole team of helpers if the challenge of how to get rid if all the stored things in your house is holding you back. Chuck worked for Brenda previously several years ago, and then returned in 2005 after he retired from the Navy, where he was a marine mechanic. In his spare time he enjoys participating in European Martial Arts competitions through the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc.  The SCA is an international organization dedicated to researching and recreating the arts and skills of pre-17th century Europe (think Middle Ages, Renaissance, kingdoms, courts, feasts, dancing).  Chuck also enjoys teaching first aid and CPR for the Red Cross.

Plus she makes pie. She’s also a busy volunteer with the North Kitsap School District. Sheri used to work for Brenda in the ‘90s and came back to us part time in 2006 - and are we glad she did!
