Brooke Watton is an American real estate professional and licensed attorney based out of Phoenix, Arizona. In addition, Brooke has an MBA degree with an emphasis in finance.  Brooke is in her first year as a real estate agent but has spent over a decade as a lawyer working with corporate transactional law and commercial litigation, focusing heavily on real estate. An in-depth understanding of contracts and the inner workings of the law are vital for a good realtor, so Watton’s experience in the legal field is a serious leg-up on the competition. Brooke made her debut in the real estate industry in early 2022 but has already solidified herself as a successful agent.

Getting Into The Industry

Despite Brooke’s background as a lawyer, real estate is in her blood and she comes from a long line of realtors. Her father’s and grandfather’s past success in the industry played a big factor in her career change as Watton looked to carry on her family’s legacy. Another big reason is her love for working with people. Brooke got her start in real estate with Homesmart Acadia and rapidly proved herself as a knowledgeable and trustworthy agent. There are over 7,000 real estate agents that work with Homesmart in the Phoenix area, and Watton was distinguished by the brokerage to be placed in the Homesmart Elite Group that has just over 400 agents. This was due to her experience as a lawyer and ability to quickly perform in real estate. 

Going Above And Beyond

A big factor in Brooke’s early success is her attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and willingness to go the extra mile for her clients. One of the things that Watton didn’t like about being a lawyer was having an hourly rate. This could make interactions with clients very transactional and make it harder to offer personal service and a great experience. With real estate you are compensated for your work by doing a good job and closing a deal. This change allows Brooke to truly enjoy her interactions with clients since there is no hourly rate pressuring them. This proved to be worthwhile because she regularly gets referrals from previous clients and her wide net of personal contacts. 

Continuing To Grow

Watton is coming up on her first year in the industry and has shown no signs of slowing down since she got started. Moving forward, Brooke wants to continue growing as an agent and taking on more business in the Phoenix area. She wants to keep working with Homesmart as the brokerage provides useful resources and education. 2022 has been an excellent introduction to the industry and Watton is looking forward to the future. Real estate is a huge part of Brooke’s family and she is happy to be setting an example for her children.
