“When you call, you can be sure you’ll be speaking with me directly. My goal is to be extremely accessible, readily available and communicative,” says Brooke Fox Drake, a Maryland Top Agent. “People really appreciate that personal touch–I’m very much a one-on-one kind of REALTOR®.”

With a life-long passion for distinctive homes, architecture, and the history of buildings, Brooke was always interested in real estate. “I love to live in old houses, and I really got started because I used to visit lots of open houses with my children when they were babies,” she says. “Everybody used to tell me that since I spent so much time going to houses anyway, I ought to become an agent—so I did!”

Brooke’s clients are glad that she made that decision. More than half of her business comes from repeat clients and referrals. “Something that’s very meaningful to me is that I’m now working with the grown children of some of my former buyers & sellers,” Brooke says. “when I have the opportunity to work with multiple generations of the same family it’s wonderful!”

Brooke has over 27 years of experience as a full-time Real Estate Agent. She has proudly earned the Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) and At Home With Diversity (AHWD) designations from the National Association of Realtors. A consistent state and local Top Producer and GCAAR award winner, Brooke has also taught the Real Estate pre-licensing course and mentored new agents.

Brooke is an associate of Charis Realty Group’s New Market office. She services all of Maryland and is willing to go where her clients would like to be. However, she specializes in the ‘Four County’ region which includes Montgomery, Howard, Carroll, and Frederick. Brooke explains, “I’ve lived here my whole life, so I know the area very well.”

When it comes to her listings, Brooke’s number one goal is maintaining a high level of personalized service for all of her clients. She utilizes creative online marketing techniques as well as direct mailings and customized print advertising . Though her approach to target marketing has evolved over the years, Brooke has always enjoyed collaborating with other real estate agents. “I have a strong network of colleagues that I’ve worked with in the past,” she says. “I spread the word as much as I can–and always welcome the opportunity to connect with other real estate professionals.”

Brooke approaches her work with a grounded, realistic viewpoint. “Real Estate for the Real World” is her social media hashtag as well as one of her core values. Honesty & integrity are her highest priorities when dealing with clients and colleagues. “People want to be listened to and have their thoughts and feelings respected. It is a privilege for me to be able to work so closely with my clients on one of life’s most important decisions—the purchase or sale of their home.” Brooke is dedicated to building long-term relationships that exceed expectations and go beyond the transaction.

When she isn’t hard at work for her clients, Brooke is very involved in her community. Over the years she has served on the board of directors for such organizations as Montgomery Preservation Inc and Great Strides-Healing with Horses. She is also particularly interested in

supporting several local animal rescues. In previous years, she has hosted client appreciation events in various venues, including an annual sponsorship of a local Steeplechase Race on Kentucky Derby Day.

Brooke & her husband live on a small farm with 3 horses, a dog & 3 cats. They also enjoy getting out on the water when time allows. They especially love sailing on the Chesapeake Bay and exploring the small towns & waterways of Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Brooke’s husband is currently building a larger cruising boat which they look forward to spending time on in the future.

Looking ahead Brooke is excited to continue to grow her business while staying rooted in her core philosophy. “My tag line is There’s No Place Like Home,” she says, “ I feel very fortunate to be able to help people find the home they truly want to live in; one that is their sanctuary, their oasis, their happy place. That’s why I do this.”
