She is known as The KY Real Estate Lady. Besides assisting others with buying and selling homes, Briana Day spends her time loving on her family and serving her community.

Briana’s niche is working with investors and First Time Homebuyers. She’s a full-time real estate agent and asset manager who prioritizes putting her people and their needs first. Briana meets her clients where they are and works continuously to help them get to where they want to be. She accomplishes this by offering various real estate services, including consulting, property management, interior design, and project management.

Briana began working in real estate over a decade ago, around the time when she assisted a real estate investor in establishing his office and managing over 40 single-family homes. Since then, she has managed over 4,000 rental units ranging from single and multi-family homes to collegiate housing. In 2019, Briana sought to make a difference in her local community by increasing homeownership and available inventory. She then decided to obtain her real estate license. Upon entering the real estate realm, she noticed that the biggest hurdle for potential clients was feeling they needed to be financially worthy of owning a home. Briana educated, enlightened, and empowered her clients through her love and passion for people and all things real estate. She met them where they were and helped them get to where they wanted to be.

Getting her clients to where they should consist of many things. She has helped countless clients improve their credit scores and assisted them with budgeting through her homeownership consultations and workshops. She has also helped dozens of investors start their careers in real estate by educating and finding them the right deal and obtaining financing to meet their real estate goals.

Briana’s love for people is clearly on display with each client, whether they are buying or selling. She says, “The thing that I love most about real estate is that no matter your position, you are helping improve someone’s quality of life. I thoroughly enjoy educating and empowering my clients, helping them make the best future decisions, and creating generational wealth.”

Briana’s drive is fueled by her determination to provide the best opportunities in life for her daughter, Drew Valencia, who she describes as her biggest push in life. “Knowing that my daughter doesn’t have to look outside of her home for a role model inspires me to go harder every day and be a better woman than I was the day before. At five years old, she already knows how to fully show a home to a prospective buyer. She also has her own opinion regarding interior design and has a keen interest in real estate,” Briana says.

Briana also credits her late father and military veteran Maurice Day with having a huge impact on her life. She shares, “I’ve always been the biggest Daddy’s girl, since birth. Our birthdays are just days apart, so in many ways we’ve always been twins and could read each other’s’ minds. In 2019, my father passed away from prostate cancer. Before he passed, I promised him that I would obtain my real estate license to provide a better future for my daughter and have a career in a field that I loved and was passionate about. He always pushed me to go further in real estate once he saw my giftedness and talent. My father’s spirit continues to live through me and my accomplishments.”

Tamika Jackson, a family friend of Briana, is also the first Real Estate Broker she knew. “As a starting realtor, she taught me so much, and I could not have gotten this far without her. Many people think being a Realtor is as simple as what they see on HGTV. It is far from that. A lot of working hours, traveling, coursework, and fees come with it. When I began the field, I was a struggling single mother, and Tamika helped me in ways I could never repay her. No amount of money, time, or words could amount to how much she has poured into me. She has been an inspiration and has such a warm, loving spirit. I am forever thankful for her,” Briana says.

Many buyers feel that right now is not a good time to buy with the interest rate increase. Briana says that contrary to popular belief, right now is still a great time to buy! “With the Spring/Summer season approaching, we will have a slight increase in demand for housing units, which may make the market more competitive,” she says. Everyone deserves a realtor that cares about them, and that is Briana “The KY Real Estate Lady”.

Moving forward, Briana plans to continue to educate and inspire future homebuyers, sellers, and agents. Soon, she hopes to open her own real estate brokerage and obtain her real estate license in multiple states.
