About Me
Kenna Real Estate is the brain child of Brian and Rita Burke. Kenna and Co. was established in 2006, a decision both Brian and Rita strongly felt was the right move to make. Brian is the managing Broker at Kenna Real Estate and usually is the one working directly with and taking good care of buyers and sellers. Brian also oversees a team of four broker associates and a transaction coordinator to keep the transactions moving along smoothly. Rita, albeit not seen out of the office much, is also a licensed real estate agent. Rita works mostly behind the scenes on marketing, advertising and other projects. Both Brian and Rita can be described as tenacious, persistent, and hard working. You will also see that we are easy-going, positive and fun to be around with.

Here is a little more personal information about us:
Brian Burke grew up in Littleton, CO and knows Denver inside and out. Brian has an extensive construction background and could build anything. He designed and built a home in Cherry Creek and has done numerous other building projects including apartments, commercial buildings and parks. Brian is extremely creative and persistent. His motto is "Taking care of Business". On a personal note when Brian is not working (not very often) you can find him at the gym or painting, he is an amazing artist. Brian loves to teach our baby new "tricks" and he is also a super great chef!
Brian was named RER Realtor of the year in 2005.

Rita Burke grew up in Finland and moved to Florida in the early 1990's. Along with a career in skydiving (from production manager to vice president of parachute sales and manufacturing company) Rita concentrated on studies at University of South Florida in Tampa and received a Bachelor's Degree in science in 1998. Rita has called Colorado home since 2001 and is concentrating on the marketing side at Kenna Real Estate. Rita has widely traveled across the globe from Brazil to Jordan, from Greenland to Greece and many places in between. Creativity comes naturally to Rita and often with Brian, no words are needed, we think alike. Rita enjoy to exercise and spend time outdoors. Yet most nights you will find Rita in front of the computer working her fingers off.
Testimonials
""There are many individuals one can select from in the housing industry. I am sure many of them are wonderful, qualified individuals. However, we believe few can match the dedication, hard work, HUGE attention to detail, and customer satisfaction that Brian Burke can provide. We have owned two homes and recently relocated from California to Colorado with a job transfer to our third residence. We had no real knowledge of specific areas. Brian spent several weekends emailing back and forth researching, and he sent us daily updates of listings. When we were finally ready to make the trip to Colorado, in the course of three weeks, we had narrowed down the search to approximately 31 homes. Brian showed them all to us in one day!!! Talk about progress! The next day we had narrowed the selection to two homes and he following day we made an offer on a new Model Home and it was accepted! But Brian didn’t stop there. He arranged inspection and fought hard to make sure everything was correctly instigated. He coordinated financial paperwork. He gave us helpful hints on storage for our RV, window covering stores, and Brian hand delivered entry papers so our two sons could attend school when we arrived… the list goes on and on. Brian worked hard, above and beyond the call of duty, to make sure we would be comfortable and secure when we would move in. I would STRONGLY recommend Brian Burke to ANYONE that desires supreme and highly profession, detailed, service. We have become friends, and he is a wonderful, nice, caring person. He truly cares about what he does and LOOKS and LISTENS to each client’s situation in the highest, best regard. We feel very fortunate to have worked with Brian Burke to find our new home.""
