B R O O K S D AV I S PA R T N E R S
PHIL A N THROPY GIVING BACK. Brooks Davis Partners believes in the work of many others who are on the front lines of making a difference—those organizations who humbly and selflessly work tireless hours with minimal resources to make the greatest impact for people and animals in need—for those who are sick, those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and for the most vulnerable among us.
We are deeply grateful and feel it is our obligation and our greatest joy to give back. That is why we pledge a portion of our income to the following well-deserving organizations that stand in the gap for people and animals. We ask our clients to choose which of our chosen charities will receive a donation from the business they bring our way. We invite you to follow our social media posts where we challenge each other to be a little more Self-Less. Together, you and Brooks Davis Partners can make this a better place by what we do and who we lift up—each and every day.
“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” — Muhammad Ali

“I have known Steve and Kerry for 23 years and honestly I can’t think of enough words to describe what quality people they are. They are men of absolute integrity and discipline. They are the consummate professionals. They have become close friends, because of their professionalism, yes, but more importantly because of the kind of men they are. Insightful, caring, funny, realistic, and honest. And they have a unique ability to make every person, every client, and every relationship feel important and worthy of their absolute best.” — Julie L. “It is my privilege to fully endorse Brooks Davis Partners. The challenges of this market can be daunting whether listing or buying, and I have experienced top-shelf service from Steve and Kerry at every turn. They are, to put it simply, brilliant interpreters of the market, the consummate professionals, wise in their counsel, and the most effective negotiators I have encountered. All the while they were sensitive to my concerns and particular needs as their client. My lifetime real estate transactions number in the hundreds and Brooks Davis Partners is who I trust with that business.” — Don H. “I can’t believe it was my good fortune to be represented by Steve, Kerry, and Brooks Davis Partners in both the listing of my home and my home purchase. I was especially challenged in this real state market because of the low inventory and the obstacles that buyers were encountering everywhere. But Brooks Davis Partners “did their magic,” and not only did I contract and close on the home I wanted, but I sold my house at a record price. They are kind, intelligent, and I always felt like their most important client. And even in frustrating situations, I could always count on their sense of humor and positive perspective.” — Tracy S. “Brooks Davis Partners have assisted us with multiple real estate transactions, here and abroad. We are fortunate enough to have several properties in other locations and because of how connected they are with quality Sotheby’s agents across the country, they represent us well wherever we buy and sell homes. They have always told us, “The market speaks.” Not only have we found that to be true, but we have learned again and again that no one interprets that market language like them. They are, without a doubt, our first call in real estate.” — J & M M. “I’m a single professional who works constantly. When I was looking for real estate assistance I didn’t just need to sell my home, I needed to buy one. I needed help and advice with everything! Roofing companies, painters, concrete companies, designers, movers, and even transportation when I got to town. Brooks Davis had concierge service down to an art. Simply put, there was nothing they couldn’t help me with, and that was absolutely invaluable with my travel schedule. One word to describe them? Invaluable!” — Maureen R.
