Jeff Brooks
with Hogan Associates
-
“Jeff did an outstanding job of selling our rental property in 6 weeks. Jeff is professional, knowledgable, works hard and works smart. We were out of town during the time the property was listed to the time the property sold. Jeff handled all aspects of the sale including lining up contractors to complete work prior to the sale and fix issues uncovered during the inspection. We are so grateful to have Jeff as our real estate agent. We highly recommend Jeff to any potential seller or buyer.”

“Jeff Brooks took the time to set up a conference to ensure that he understood our needs and that we would be a good fit working together. Jeff Brooks was amazing from start to finish with the purchase of our home! He is very knowledgeable, and when asked about certain criteria’s he would go into depth explanation to make sure I was comfortable and understood the laws/agreement of the transaction. Jeff had a fantastic communication, not only with myself, but with the sellers realtor and the mortgage company. And trust me the sellers realtor was not amazing like Jeff. Jeff knew the guidelines and held the sellers to the expectations. Jeff would give me updates before I even remembered to follow up with him. Because of his knowledge and experience when it came to negotiating he truly had our best interest in heart; even when we were scared to negotiate a little lower, he knew what was best for us before we knew it. From the beginning he negotiated the price down based on facts of the home in the market, and after our home inspection he made sure to go back and have negotiations done again based off of the reports. It was outstanding how much money he saved us! Jeff always made us feel like we could reach out no matter the time or day or how silly the question was. He was even clear when we were searching for a home that he had a scheduled vacation (just so we had advance notice). When the time came he was on vacation and said for us not to worry because he was still going to be putting in office hours so if we needed him do not hesitate to reach out. Jeff Brooks went above and beyond and I have been highly recommending him to my friends families and coworkers!”

“Jeff is the most knowledgable, helpful and professional realtor that I have ever worked with. This was the first home I have bought so I had more than a few questions along the way. Jeff not only answered every question I had, more often than not he went out and found a solution. He was also great with working around my schedule which was a little difficult as I live 90 minutes away from the property I was purchasing. Jeff also put me in contact with and set up meetings with local professionals that I needed to update and maintain my new property. Any issue that arose Jeff was on top of immediately and he was great with communication. I highly, highly recommend Jeff to anyone who is looking to purchase a home in the area!”

“I cannot thank Jeff enough for all of the hard work he put in to get me into the right house. With my job nearly an hour away from my desired location and my weekend travel, working around my schedule was I'm sure an absolute bear (i.e. I wasn't able to make a single open house). Throughout the process, of nearly a year, Jeff was thoughtful in his approach to choosing houses to view, was insightful regarding the locations, and was resolute with how he viewed the value of the locations we looked at. Despite the difficulties working with my schedule, and despite two separate offers that were outmatched by other buyers, Jeff did not alter his approach or act frustrated in any manner. We eventually found a great house in a great location and Jeff supported me with putting in an offer under asking. He also suggested we let the sellers go to their open house after our low-offer. This strategy, proposed by Jeff, paid off as the sellers came back to us and accepted my earlier offer, which Jeff orchestrated and he even got the sellers to throw in some furniture with the deal. He was also incredibly responsive with questions I had regarding other aspects of the deal (i.e. loans, closing attorneys, and inspections), which could easily have been directed elsewhere, but which I directed to him because I trusted his opinion on all aspects of the deal. For anyone looking for their first home (or second, third, etc...), I recommend Jeff's services completely. He is honest, patient, and it doesn't hurt that he has a good personality and good sense of humor to make what could be a stressful experience, enjoyable.”

“As I stated above, Jeff Brooks was an amazing real estate agent. He was with us the entire time, especially when selecting the home for us, what we needed to stand firm on and getting us to the finish line The best part is that I made a friend, Jeff Brooks is not just there to sell or buy a house with you, he becomes part of "you".”
-
“Jeff and I have worked together in the past and we have a great working relationship. He always asks the right questions and has the right answers. In my opinion Jeff is the standard bearer for what a real estate agent should be.”

“I was referred by my attorney and it wound up being an awesome decision. Jeff made it so easy and painless to sell this house. It was tougher because it was an older house, but he did an amazing job. I am so happy with Jeff. He kept me informed every step of the way and really was amazing. As an out of state client, he handled everything and worked closely with my attorney with whatever was necessary and really made it an easy transaction. I am so thankful for his guidance and EXTENSIVE knowledge and experience, and I would work with him again in a heart beat.”

“After an initial call with Jeff Brooks, I got a good feeling that his assessments of homes was similar to mine. This was important to me because I wasn't looking for one type of home, but rather, looking at each property for its specific and unique potential. I thought Jeff's background melded well with my own analytical approach to property assessment. In addition, his knowledge of the area was key in helping me understand how location played into potential property values. Aside from property assessment, Jeff was professional in all aspects of our home purchasing process. He was considerate and informative when talking through our thoughts on potential offers, and counter offers. He was also willing to work with us on trying to get a deal on the properties we were looking at, rather than encouraging us to make offers only close to asking price. At no point in our interactions did we ever felt like Jeff was pressuring us to make a decision, rather he talked through our thoughts to guide us to making our own. We would highly recommend Jeff Brooks in your home purchase!”

“Jeff has an outstanding knowledge of real estate in the southern Rhode island and Massachusetts area. Jeff brought this property to my attention because he knew that it would be perfect for my business and residential needs and he was spot-on. Jeff was an outstanding representative for negotiations and was able to fluidly communicate between multiple parties and convey an accurate concise message that help the process move forward more smoothly. I would highly recommend Jeff to any buyers out there who want professional service and great knowledge of the market and an understanding of the value of what you are investing so much money in time then.”

“Jeff Brooks maintained regular and professional contact during our early stages of home shopping Jeff kept us informed and educated thru all steps of the process. Jeff had Emily help us view a few homes while he was out of the country and she was super friendly and helpful as well. Jeff was great to work with; I have a long work schedule and he was easy to communicate with after hours which was super helpful for me as a working mom. We are super happy to be in our new home. Thank you Jeff!!!”

“If you are selling your house, don't walk but RUN to Hogan Associates and contact Jeff Brooks. I always thought the best things you can have in life it a great relationship, a great family a great job, a great doctor and a great auto mechanic. BUT....when you're selling your VERY HARD TO SELL home, the best thing in your life during that arduous and very difficult time is a broker like Jeff Brooks. We had had a poor experience with our previous broker and were convinced we were better off selling the place on our own. Jeff cold called me and to say the least, at first, I wasn't interested in getting a broker and did everything I could to discourage him from wanting to be our broker. But......his intelligence, knowledge of the area as well as his appreciation for the unusual nature of our condo wore me down. He was persistent and not only had great ideas of his own but was very interested in our ideas as well. He did an architectural night cocktail party. He had MANY open houses. He put ads in RI Monthly TWICE. There was nothing he wouldn't consider. Finally we sold the place and he made THAT process as easy as it could possibly be. He has a work ethic that anyone would admire. My wife and I are so grateful for his help and guidance. He's the best of the best and we both consider him now to be a friend.”

“Jeff is the best!”

“Jeff was great, and I'm incredibly happy with my house. While I was thinking about buying a house I had heard stories about realtors that had gone above and beyond to find houses for their clients, and I had heard horror stories about realtors that made the house hunt a nightmare. Jeff represented all of the good traits of a realtor and none of the bad. I'm confident I wouldn't have my house right now if my relator was anyone but Jeff.”
-
“We made a great choice. I think Jeff is a great asset to you. He made a difficult decision to sell our house much less stressful.”

“Jeff Brooks is an excellent agent. He guided me through the purchase of my first home and answered all of my questions every step of the way. Jeff put in an extraordinary amount of effort finding listings in my price range and helped me to understand what type of value I could expect in my budget. Jeff is very knowledgeable and is able to explain any step of the process; I came into this process without much background and found that I could trust Jeff to steer me in the right direction. The thing I appreciated the most about Jeff is that he treated me with a ton of respect. The combination of my age (I was 24 when I started looking) and my relatively low budget led other agents to speak condescendingly to me and not take my questions seriously. Not Jeff, he was a consummate professional and acted as if every one of my questions and concerns were valid. Give Jeff a call if you're purchasing your first home. He will make the process go as smooth as possible.”

“Jeff was professional and very focused in selling our house. He went over and above the call through out the process.”
