About Brenda K. Thompson

Real Estate Marketing Expert

Brenda K. Thompson has built her reputation on understanding how distinctive properties need to be positioned and presented in the marketplace. As the founder of Special Finds, she created a specialized marketing platform designed for homes that do not fit traditional listing categories.

Before founding Special Finds, Brenda worked on Wall Street in New York City, where she learned the value of precision, clarity, and results. Returning to her Southern roots, she launched her own real estate company and spent more than two decades focused on the marketing of unique and architecturally distinctive properties.

Special Finds is not a traditional real estate brokerage or advertising service. It is a curated platform that helps extraordinary properties gain visibility through intelligent structure, categorization, and presentation—allowing buyers to discover homes by character, use, and setting rather than generic search filters.

 

Brenda, the Author

Brenda is also a published novelist. Her work in fiction reflects a deep attention to detail, atmosphere, and cohesion—qualities that influence how the Special Finds platform is designed and curated, rather than how individual properties are advertised.

Her debut novel, Alice Anyway, #1 Amazon Bestseller in Women’s Historical Fiction, Historical Literary Fiction, and Women’s Literary Fiction, follows in this tradition, offering a story of resilience, grace, and the quiet pull of change. Just as she reveals the soul of a property through marketing, Brenda uncovers the quiet truths of her characters and landscapes through fiction.

She lives with her husband, Jim, on the North Carolina coast, where she continues to help clients market their most unusual homes—while also writing overlooking a wide river, visited daily by wild creatures.
