Brett
Grateful to have you on the show for our listeners, get to know you for the first time. Would you give us just a little bit more about your
Brooke
story and your current focus? Yeah, grew up in the NFL world. My dad and brother are both NFL coaches, so kind of thought that was my only option in life that I was going to work in the NFL. So I was the sports reporter before this career. Lived out in LA for years, worked for NFL Network, Fox Sports, all of those fun things. Traveled a lot with football, and decided during covid I was going to move home to my little beach town that we always called home in the off season, and never looked back. Got my real estate license, fell in absolute love, realized that I could tap into my NFL world. Still in real estate, I go to training camps, combine everything, still network with my NFL contacts, and then bring them down here to buy their best investments, which typically turn into their retirement homes, the places that they raise their kids. I mean, it is just, it’s heaven on 30 a and once you get down here, you realize it right away. And typically people buy on their first or second trip down here.
Brett
Absolutely amazing. I love that. I love that background, such a cool history with with the NFL and football, and then growing up, and then, and then focus like a laser on real estate, but keeping both worlds open and helping athletes and helping entertainers and all of those things. And 38 is absolutely beautiful. Been there twice now, and we live in St Augustine, but be that as it may, it’s an amazing spot. I’m curious, before all of this happened, though, who was kind of Brooke growing up, you know what was like her strength or superpower that you had, and then how do you use that to help people today?
Brooke
I am an absolute chameleon. I moved so much in my life about every three years of my life growing up, so I just had to adapt. That was like our superpower as a family, really was just we would move to a new location, adapt to that location, adapt to a new organization, whichever team we were with, because, believe it or not, everyone is so different every single NFL team. So it was just it really prepared me for this career in real estate that I can talk to anyone. I can work with anyone, no matter what level of wealth you are, no matter you know where you come from, what your background is, I’m going to find some commonality between us. And I think that is kind of been my superpower through life, is just, I can make a friend with anybody. I could talk to a wall for 10 hours, like I can find something that we are going to connect on. And that’s what makes life fun, too. I mean, I just, I love meeting new people and talking to new people, and it’s kind of what my background has shaped me into this person.
Brett
Absolutely love it. Yeah, I was just studying with one of my mentors this morning, and it talked about, you know, finding your unique gift and unique unique and exploiting it at the service of others, right? So that’s what brings such deep fulfillment and joy. And so I can, I can tell that adapt, adaptability, connecting with others and helping them with now, with real estate, this is really cool and also perfect fit for what you’re doing. So let’s, let’s dive into that. Yeah, so what’s, what’s maybe the number one secret, I guess, to to to 30 a real estate and or selling and helping athletes, entertainers, or anyone who’s really looking to to buy a real estate. What’s, what’s some of the top things you’ve learned, and let’s just start with the number one thing that that helps, helps to make deals happen.
