USING 10+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TO

change the real estate industry from the inside

By putting empathy, transparency, and inclusivity in the driver’s seat

Agents by Brooke is an agent referral service that was founded out of equal parts love and frustration for the real estate industry. After witnessing first hand a friend get screwed over by a real estate agent that they thought they could trust, I knew it was time to do something about it.

First time home buying or selling is an experience that can feel nearly impossible to navigate. You so desperately want to be in control of the situation, but it always feels like it’s out of your hands.

Not only do you have to worry about finding a home, but you have to make sure that you’re working with the right people. In an industry that is purposefully exclusive and difficult to understand, this can be a big task. That stress is doubled for anyone in a marginalized group who has to consider the possible reality of housing discrimination. What should be one of the most exciting times of your life can quickly become a nightmare if you don’t have the right team behind you.

In an effort to make an impact on the industry that I’m passionate about, I founded Agents by Brooke. I match first time home buyers and sellers with qualified agents that they can trust implicitly. These matchmaking services are completely free for clients, and allows you to take back control of your home buying or selling experience.

transparency

Something that is sorely lacking in the real estate industry. When you work with me, you will know what to expect. Plus, I love to dish out the industry secrets that no one else wants you to know.

IMPACT

I want everyone who comes into contact with me to leave feeling confident and empowered. Whether or not you opt for my Agent Matchmaking Service, I will equip you with the tools you need to get what you want out of your home buying/selling experience.

EMPATHY

The life you’re planning for yourself is attainable. I promise to help you feel like a person instead of a transaction, and help you feel seen, heard, and understood.

BREAKING THE MOLD

In case you haven’t noticed already, I like pushing boundaries. Is there any other way to make a change?

Nice to meet you, im Brooke

My friend getting screwed by that asshat of an agent was my first push into real estate. I wanted to be the type of agent that people could rely on. I’ve worked in so many different parts of this industry–new construction, commercial, residential–and eventually I found my happy place as a referral agent.

Referrals in this industry are kinda weird. With “innovators” running the game, “Endorsed Agents” find themselves sitting by the phone waiting for leads to come in only for them to be completely unaligned. I used to be one of those agents and I got so sick and tired of feeling like a door-opener for clients that weren’t meant for me.

Being a Fair Housing advocate, referrals queen, Broker-in-Charge, and firm owner takes up a lot of my time, but not all of it

I’m a passionate animal welfare advocate, and work in my free time as an adoption counselor to help advocate for animals and find them their perfect furever home (peep my foster fur babies below). My animal matchmaking work actually helped shaped the human matchmaking work I do. Just like every pet has a perfect home, every home buyer or seller has a perfect agent.

Don’t be fooled by the photos. I’m a cat lover, too! It’s just that my terrible allergies prevent me from cuddling their cute stinkin’ faces.

I’m impossible to beat at DDR. Seriously, I dare you to try. I collect vintage Archie comics, and still play The Sims when I’m itching for an easy reno.

I also…

…have an obsession with dairy-free cheese (much to the dismay of my Wisconsinite family)

…put hot sauce on everything and love spicy food. Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s tried the hot cheetos and ice cream thing…

…love Belgian Ales. They’re the only type of beer I will drink.

…am a little bit of a hippie at heart. I used to brew my own kombucha, and have backpacked the ​​Laugavegur Trail in Iceland.

…once broke my tailbone while snowboarding on the East Coast. Anyone who's snowboarded out here gets it.

I like to think of myself as equal parts free spirit and voice of reason–someone who likes to live life on her own terms and help others do the same.

not into words?

Get to know me through music instead.
