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.

Hi, I would like to say what a wonderful experience we had dealing with Jeff Brooks. He took us through a very difficult process of buying a house while we lived in another state. He always made time for us during the weekends that we were able to visit and search for houses. Jeff did a wonderful job navigating a nonconventional sale through a bank owned property. He also has put me in touch with local repairmen and contractors that he, himself uses. I would recommend him highly!! Mike Gaughan

Jeff is a partner you want to have in the home buying process! He wonderfully navigated an unfortunately tricky transaction and got us to the closing table. Very professional and personable and made the time even late at night or early in the morning to get on the phone or send docs. Thanks for all your help Jeff!

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.

Jeff Brooks addressed all our questions quickly and thoroughly! We looked at many houses in Newport County and Jeff pointed out things with each house that we would have missed. I found Jeff Brooks to be professional, respectful and kind. I would highly recommend Jeff as a realtor due to his expert knowledge of the local real estate market, key business sense and extensive real estate experience.

Jennifer Pratt, North Kingstown, RI

Working with Jeff Brooks was great. Our schedule was tight and he was good about booking appointments for us that fit into our schedule, providing honest feedback on potential homes, and helping with negotiations. He helped us to determine the true value of a home, and not to get emotional about it. I would highly recommend working with him as he was professional, approachable, and honest. I appreciated the relationship we developed throughout the course of our house hunt and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Bill Sprague, MA

Jeff was great to work with, particularly during some challenging times in our purchasing process. Jeff was very responsive and his local knowledge was, and continues to be, extremely valuable.

Everyone told me I wasn't going to find my dream house the first time around, but I can honestly say that I did and I very much owe that to Jeff Brooks! I could not be happier with my new home. I was really apprehensive buying my first house alone, but it was reassuring to have a thoughtful and accommodating team to work with. Jeff was supportive from day one and helped walk me through the home buying process every step of the way. He went out of his way many times to help me look at listings, answer tons of questions and emails, and send comps for listings I was interested in. He was always honest when he thought a house wasn't a good fit and was incredibly knowledgeable about the area. He was never pushy and supported me when I decided to back out of my first accepted offer (and encouraged me when I was stressed out and second guessing things). I really felt that he had my best interests in mind. I can't say enough good things about my experience and I highly recommend working with Jeff!

Jeff was great! Can't say enough good things about him- I would definitely recommend him and the Hogan Associates team to anyone looking to buy in the Newport area. It was a tough market for a buyer, but I couldn't have asked for a better advocate through the homebuying process.
