Jeff Brooks cleared up several issues that would have made me walk away from the sale. My son used Jeff Brooks and was completely satisfied with him. He said Jeff was very responsive.and very knowledgeable. I chose to work with Jeff Brooks based on his experience. Jeff Brooks was a pleasure to work with and was very helpful with contacts for financing, insurance and construction.

I would highly recommend Jeff Brooks. He worked very hard to sell my property. He was always available when needed. He took care of everything that was needed to successfully sell my property. He even installed a new fire alarm that he bought with his own money, to ensure the home met inspection. The experience was very positive. I have now used Jeff's services to buy and sell property and would definitely use him again in the future.

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.

I am from out of town and met Jeff via Zillow. When I submitted an inquiry for the property I eventually purchased, he responded within 2 minutes. We met at the property the following morning. Having bought, renovated and sold many homes over the years, I was immediately impressed with Jeff's knowledge of the business. He answered questions that were in my mind before I could even ask. He was amazing during the negotiation process. The seller eventually accepted after having declined several prior offers. He referred me to local professionals to assist with the closing process and all were spot on. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been blindly assigned to him via my inquiry. Couldn't have turned out any better!

Smart and effective negotiation skills. Friendly during all interactions and knowledgeable of the local market.

Gwen Kidera, Portsmouth

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 and Hogan Associates! 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.
