New to the process of purchasing a short sale, Jeff's dedication and perseverance to closing the deal while the bank was playing hard ball, was the main reason we stuck with it. Being a short sale the tough negations would have probably caused our family to put off our dreams of owning a home in Middletown. However, Jeff was able to step in and ensure we had our ducks in a row, and now we are raising our family in the home we dreamed of. Thanks 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.

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.

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

If I could give Jeff an extra star- I would! Jeff has helped my husband and I purchase two homes in the past 6 years. As the market has evolved in that time, Jeff has been a steady resource. He has not only been on top of his game as our realtor (always quick to send listings and get showings scheduled, reviews homes in detail, scopes neighborhoods and comps, etc.) but he has also shared his network with us, providing us solid references— one to a bank that got us a great rate and another to a lawyer who has now become a trusted resource as well. Jeff is honest, hard working and available. He is the reason we were able to secure our homes in wildly challenging markets. Thank you Jeff, you’re the best!

As a local family buying in Middletown, Rhode Island, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with Jeff as our buyer’s agent. His knowledge of the Middletown and greater Aquidneck Island real estate market gave us a clear understanding of pricing, inventory, and what to expect in Newport County. He was steady, responsive, and direct throughout the entire process from initial consultation to negotiations to closing. We always felt informed and confident in our decisions. If you’re buying or selling in Middletown, Newport, or anywhere on Aquidneck Island, Jeff is a trusted local Realtor who knows how to guide families through the process the right way.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

My husband and I have worked with Jeff for over 10 years as we purchased and sold property in Newport, with the most recent purchase being our dream home. He knew our preferences and what we wanted in a house, including the specific neighborhood, and respected our price point. He is an expert in the Newport market, and worked seamlessly with our mortgage broker and attorney, having deep relationships with them as well. Jeff kept us on track throughout the process, making scheduling and coordinating inspections an easy process as well as helping us decipher the inspection report to determine negotiation points that were fair. Jeff was incredibly responsive as questions arose and he was lockstep with us throughout the process. My husband and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Using was a no brainer. This was my third transaction with Jeff Brooks and I'm confident he knows exactly what my parameters are. I wasn't able to attend the initial showing, so Jeff ran a zoom tour for me that covered all important aspects, and even provided a recording that I could go back and reference. The house was in overall great shape for a rental, but Jeff did help me identify a couple of hard to spot issues that resulted in very helpful seller credits at closing. Jeff spends a ton of time on outreach with sellers and other agents, which led to this amazing off-market purchase opportunity. I got an amazing value on this purchase due to all of Jeff's hard work understanding the market and networking with the seller community.

I've known Jeff Brooks for years in a professional capacity (unrelated to real estate) as we are both very involved in the community. After speaking with a friend in common, we both thought Jeff would be the right agent to sell my house. He met all my expectations, but he also surprised me with the very high quality of his work. The visual presentation of the house was well thought out and well executed. He kept working on it to get it right. His calming, assured demeanor was particularly helpful during inevitable moments of stress. His knowledge of the local market is deep and broad. This adds up to great service. I would highly recommend Jeff as a real estate agent.

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.

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 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 is very personable and compassionate about his work and knowledge of the area. He listened to what we were looking for and introduced us to areas in Newport and Middletown we never thought we would entertain. We found our dream home in the area of Newport that Jeff introduced us to and cannot thank him enough. He was patient with us and reached out periodically to see how we were doing throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a home in the surrounding area. He has become a close friend in business and we feel he has become an extended part of the family! Thank You Jeff!

We've purchased a couple of properties with Jeff over the last few years. His approach is meticulous and he is relentless. A native to Aquidneck island, growing up in a contractors household - his understanding of the Newport, Middletown & Portsmouth markets is second to none.

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 made the process of selling our first home a breeze! He is increbly knowledgeable and patient. He helped walked us through the process of selling and was available to answer any questions along the way. He coordinated all of the services we needed to help get our house on the market. He listed our house and had it under contract within 2 weeks with multiple offers above asking. This is the third time we've used Jeff for a transaction and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.

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 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.

Jeff has gone above and beyond for our family. His local knowledge and trusted recommendations were so valuable throughout our home buying process. I wouldn't want to work with anyone else.

Jeff is amazing! I was 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!

We first met Jeff in searching for a starter home over a decade ago. His hands-on, all-in approach immediately won us over. We have since purchased and sold three properties with Jeff at the helm. On our recommendation, he represented our brother-in-law and grandmother in separate purchases and sales over the years. Jeff's expertise and dedication has been unwavering over the years, and we give him our resounding endorsement.
