Real estate, for me, has never been about transactions. It’s about helping people make confident decisions in places that truly fit their lives.
I’m proud to serve the west metro and lakes area, with a strong focus on communities I know inside and out: Lake Minnetonka, Orono, Excelsior, Deephaven, Wayzata, Minnetonka, Edina, St. Louis Park, and Golden Valley.
Each of these areas has its own personality. From the lake lifestyle and quiet luxury of Lake Minnetonka communities to the walkability of Excelsior, the classic neighborhoods of Edina, and the convenience and energy of St. Louis Park and Golden Valley. Understanding those differences and how they align with your goals is where I bring the most value.
My approach is straightforward: clear communication, thoughtful strategy, and strong negotiation. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a property you’ve outgrown, or simply exploring your options, I focus on helping you see the full picture so you can move forward with clarity.
Clients often tell me they appreciate that I don’t overcomplicate things. Real estate can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. My role is to simplify the process, advocate for your best outcome, and make sure you feel informed every step of the way.
Outside of real estate, I’m someone who values time, family, and living with intention. Something that has only become more important as I begin the next chapter of life with my growing family.
If you’re considering a move in the west metro or around Lake Minnetonka, I’d be glad to help you navigate it with confidence.
Brooks Client Reviews
Brooks is the best realtor we've ever worked with (and we've moved around for 30 yrs so we've worked with quite a few.). We weren't ready to buy yet but he treated us as if we were moving tomorrow. He showed us exactly the right kind of properties and then showed us properties if left to our own devices we might never have considered. We worked with him on and off (mostly off because again we weren't ready) for 2 years and whenever we blew into town he was the consummate professional, picking up where we left off and helping us fine tune our housing search. He was kind, he was open to our ideas, he was extremely knowledgeable about the market, he always gave us his undivided attention and never rushed us. He ultimately scored a home run for us, helping us close a deal on a dream property that we might never have looked at if not for him. If you are looking for a home, Brooks is your guy. We will be forever grateful to him for his expertise and his faith that we would find the perfect place. And thanks to him, we did. The best.

We highly recommend Brooks! He has extensive knowledge of the area, market and even each condo building. Brooks was patient with our long search process and quick to respond & act during our negotiation and closing process. Most importantly he is a great person! Brooks will be our first call when it comes time to buy and/or sell!

This is long overdue - Brooks assisted with both the sale of my previous condo as well as the purchase of my current one, and he was incredible in both cases. He was 100% on top of the process the whole time, kept me informed, educated me, dealt with about a million questions and plenty of pushback during negotiations... and in the end I only had to show my unit one time, never even had to take pictures of it, and it was sold. Brooks worked with me to be able to get the price up on my previous unit and the price down on my new unit in a way that made what had seemed to be not possible financially completely doable - and I am very grateful and happy with my purchase. I highly recommend working with Brooks for both sale and purchase - it was a great experience and I would refer friends and family to him. Thanks!!
