Brook helped my partner and I sell our home in spring 2026. She went so far above and beyond for us in so many ways, and made what was a daunting process more fun, smooth, and seamless than I could have possibly imagined. Through her thorough knowledge of real estate in Sonoma County, Brook helped us discern what were valuable things to fix before selling and what wouldn't add value. She connected us with trusted vendors, and met them at the house when we couldn't, as we live and work in the East Bay. Under Brook's invaluable direction and care, our home was transformed and listed in less than two weeks. We received and accepted an offer for significantly over the asking price and closed in just over a month after we listed our home. We are forever grateful. Thank you Brook! read more

Brook Terhune is a gem of a human and a fantastic realtor! She is professional, communicative, and always made time to do walk-throughs. She gave helpful insight based on years of experience. She gave us support on weighing the pros and cons for each (of the MANY) properties we looked at. She also supported us through and demonstrated excellence at all steps of the process from initial ideas/search, negotiation, all phases of escrow and the final paperwork process. Even after we had the keys, she has helped us with recommendations for trusted vendors and service providers. We love our new home! We would have written this recommendation sooner but were busy unpacking and savoring the new, bigger, and more peaceful space! Thank you Brook! read more

We were moving to Sonoma County from out of the area and Brook came highly recommended from our mutual networking group. Brook was incredibly helpful with finding the right area of Santa Rosa to invest our money for our retirement home. From living in Sonoma County, her knowledge of the market and area was invaluable as well as her many contacts to help us during and after closing. Highly professional and kind, we felt Brook and her team took great care of our needs. Brook is a great negotiator and makes it happen! She is always available and extremely thorough throughout the process. I truly believe Brook was looking out for our best interest. I have found a new friend in Sonoma County, and a great resource to help connect us with the support we need to complete our dream home. We highly recommend working with Brook. Many thanks to Brook and Kristen for a happy ever after ending for me and my family. read more

If there were ten stars Brook would get them all! She's amazing. She represented me as a buyer and was infinitely patient with my ten thousand questions. She was a good advocate, prodding me to consider points on my offer strategy. And she has a trailer full of recommendations for local services, handymen, etc! All that and she's fun, too, while being the consummate pro. 100% recommend. read more

I had an amazing experience with Brook. She was professional and led me through the selling process with clarity and patience. I was very happy to deal with her. read more

Best house purchasing experience ever!!!! Brook paid very close attention to detail and was honest and upfront with us on every house we looked at. She's not about just making that commission. She genuinely wants you to find your "home sweet home". Thank you so much. read more

Brook Terhune - Our new home. - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

We needed a realtor when moving to Sonoma County from out of state and Brook came highly recommended. Brook was incredibly helpful not only getting acclimated to the area but also from the start of the home search to the finish. Brook was always available and extremely thorough throughout the process. From living in Sonoma County, her knowledge of the market and area was invaluable. Brook is wonderful and always looks out for her client's best interest. We highly recommend working with Brook! read more

By way of background, I am a first-time home buyer. I had no idea about the process whatsoever when I first started taking a look at homes, or what to expect throughout the process. I also work in the service industry and am very aware that it is important to ensure that: (1) your clients have the necessary information to make informed decisions (whether small or big, like purchasing a house); and (2) that their expectations are established appropriately and met. Brook exceeded in both aspects. The amount of effort she put into walking me through the process is unbelievable. Brook was always available to provide me with the information that I needed. Whether it was via phone or text, she was always available and very communicative. Not only did I feel like I had all the information I needed to make those decisions, but I also felt like I was in good hands. Especially because, as a first-time buyer, I didn't know all of the right questions I should be asking (or do's and don'ts, for example) and she would proactively provide this information, which made me feel like I was walking through this process with eyes wide open. Overall, I would strongly recommend Brook to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, especially if they are first-time homebuyers. Brooks attention to detail and level of time/dedication to her clients is outstanding. read more

Brook is more than just another realtor! At out of town buyers who were not familiar with the ins and out of Northern California real estate, neighborhoods, town etc, it became very clear during our purchasing process that Brook actually cared about our well being and was using her expertise to guide us to the best long term decision for our family. She was conscious of our financial and physical well being. Brook made us feel secure and relaxed despite our distance. Going way above and beyond, Brook helped us beyond the sale and has become a dear friend. We've since found out that this is the case with many of Brook's clients read more

I highly recommend Brook Terhune for your real estate needs. What I like best about Brook is her deep emotional intelligence. I have been working with her around my Mom's housing needs as my Mom identifies her next steps. It is obvious to me how deeply Brook cares about her clients' well-being. I appreciate her real estate savvy and willingness to go the extra mile. I urge you to give her a call. read more

We had the pleasure of working with Brook for the sale of our home. Our experience with Brook was phenomenal. She is dedicated, professional, and caring. She went the extra mile to make sure we were taken care of the entire time. One of her greatest qualities was her superior communication. There was never a time when we felt we didn't know what was happening and she was always available for questions. The entire experience was seamless and easy. If you are looking for a Top Notch Realtor, we highly recommend Brook Terhune. read more

We have a right to expect business people, regardless of their fields, to be thorough, experienced, knowledgeable, and professional. These qualities usually are mentioned in their positive reviews and recommendations. Brook Terhune exemplifies all of these traits. So, what sets her apart? What is the magic dust, the secret ingredient, that makes me so glad we chose her to curate the sale of our house in Santa Rosa? Brook is persistent, timely, organized, and thorough. She surrounds herself with a network of highly qualified support people who help her get things done. (Get things done yesterday.) Our situation was a tough one for any realtor. We are old. My husband has Alzheimer's disease. I can no longer drive because I have macular degeneration. I have a voice impediment which makes it difficult for people to understand me on the phone. Brook took the initiative, arranging to have work done, contacting the necessary tradespeople, inspectors, and administrative help, always with my approval. She agreed to keep my son informed of every step of the process, so he could nudge me along when documents needed to be signed. I was not able to help her the way I wanted to and should have. I wondered how she could make so much happen so smoothly while also dealing with who knows how many other clients, and the many prospective buyers' realtors and lenders. Nevertheless, Brook was always upbeat, personable, and energetic. She is enviably efficient and apparently tireless. These intangibles are the special sauce that makes her a veritable one-woman SWAT team in real estate. She is hands on, thinks on her feet, is head and shoulders above the rest, and all heart. The home we sold was a modest, forty year old tract house. Brook Terhune choreographed the transaction in such a way that, in a very tight market, we got seven offers in the first week. The house sold for $47,000 above the asking price. read more

Brook worked literally around the clock for us to help us making offers in a competitive market and during the holidays, when we had to move in a hurry. We are so happy with the whole experience, and Brook sailed through it for us despite a tricky closing process. Thank you Brook! read more

When my wife and I decided to try and sell our house, it was a really daunting task that we had no idea how to navigate, especially with a 1-year-old at the time. Brook really listened to our needs and concerns and made the entire experience work for us. She helped us navigate what work did and did not need to be finished on the house, how to price the house appropriately for the market, and more than anything else, made the whole process about us and our needs, not about hers. She was patient and compassionate with us yet was also a fierce negotiator on our behalf. The level of professionalism and experience she has is remarkable and she really cares about her clients and her work. We were only on the market for 5 days and accepted an offer well over our asking price. Brook is truly incredible to work with and we would never consider working with anyone else in the future. read more

Call Brook Terhune...now. Without Brook Terhune, we wouldn't have secured the house of our dreams. In this hot market, time is crucial, and within 5 days of finding our home, it was ours. Not only did Brook go above and beyond to have our purchase be a success, but our home (that she also sold for us) was sold at way over asking, and it's all because Brook showed it so well. Experienced and knowledgeable with a great people instinct, you can't go wrong with Brook Terhune. read more

My husband and I have been using Brook to help find a new and bigger home and sell our current home. She has been great. One thing that we have found invaluable is that Brook always has her clients best interest at heart. She always helps you think things over and make the best decision for you and your home purchase or sale. She has helped many family members.... some who are first time home buyers. She really helped guide them through the process. I know it was very helpful for them and made them feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Brook if you are looking to sell or purchase a home. read more

Brook is a GEM! Not only is she an incredible real estate agent, but also an amazing human who cares fiercely for her clients and their well-being and best interests. Having grown up here- she knows all the in's and out's of the area but most importantly- she is the exact person you want to go to bat for you and have on your team. She speaks truth with love and works hard to make your dreams a reality. We were blessed to meet Brook in 2015 and now consider her a life-long friend who helped our dreams come true. She maintains strong relationships with her people because she cares about her community near and far. We cannot recommend Brook enough for all your real estate needs! read more

Brook is a FANTASTIC realtor, and a wonderful human being. It was a pleasure to work with her to purchase our first home! She was a referral from a close family friend, and I am SO glad we went with her! Brook is passionate about what she does, and knows her stuff. She tells you like it is, which I really appreciated and is also really sweet, funny, and genuine. She truly has your back, and checks on you regularly and clearly explains the process and what to expect next throughout the experience. She is right by your side the whole time, and makes sure you truly understand what is happening, and that you will land a house you love that meets all your needs. We had no idea what the process looked like, and she broke it down into a fun and digestible way. She handled all the heavy weightlifting, so we could just be excited and it felt easy. Since we were first time home-buyers, we were anxious and Brook soothed all of our worries and was right there when we needed her! She would respond immediately whenever we reached out, and checked in regularly. She held our hand through the unknown, and made us feel safe and clear and excited! Brook really listened to what we wanted, and suggested houses that we wouldn't have looked at otherwise. She knows her stuff, and the Sonoma county area! It's so nice to work with a local who GETS IT! The houses we thought were perfect on paper generally weren't right when we went to look in person, and Brook helped us see things we would have otherwise missed. She cares about you finding the right place, instead of just trying to make a sale or commission. She thinks about YOU and the long term, not just short term wants/needs. It is SO refreshing, she isn't pushy at all and advocates for you. She built our trust almost immediately, and still has it! The house we went with was in an area she suggested, that we would have missed without her advice and we immediately fell in love! It didn't need much work, and checked all the boxes. It's WAY nicer than the houses we looked at in our original area we thought we wanted to buy in. It's the nicest home we have ever lived in! It's already gone up in value since we purchased it, hooray! Brook showed us some of her personal favorite places that we can walk to from our new home, since she grew up in Sonoma county. We are SO happy with how everything worked out! It's a difficult market to buy in right now, but Brook was so on top of it and helped us swoop up a house in Sonoma county within a month of looking! We LOVE our new home, and she helped us be picky and find the right home. She points out issues you wouldn't notice on your own, and helps you balance what is worth it or not. She helps you critical think, and is very realistic and heart felt. She is the trustworthy friend you would want to go to for any advice, and makes you feel safe and validated and supported. We LOVE Brook! We were juggling many things while looking for a home. We had a deadline to move out of our previous place, and were also about to get married, and I was scheduled for surgery! Brook remembered all of these things coming up and worked around them, and celebrated our exciting life changes! She is so flexible and understanding. She also sent the most thoughtful and sweet gifts, and totally didn't have to do that! We found our dream home on my husbands birthday, and she greeted us with his favorite flavor of cupcakes! She does little things to go the extra mile, and is always upbeat and fun to converse with. We would genuinely be friends with her! Brook was going through some personal hardships, and gave us the option to work with another real estate agent, but it was a no brainer to stick with her! She never let her hardship show, and handled everything with such grace and kindness. She is truly one of a kind and such a strong person. It's so tough to find someone who truly listens and hears you, and also keeps it real. She never once dropped the ball, even when she was going through something. Anyone would be lucky to work with Brook! DO IT, work with her! I promise you will thank yourself later. :) THANK YOU BROOK FOR EVERYTHING! You are the best and we adore you! Come over for some wine to celebrate soon. xox read more

Brook is 100% awesome! She really gets to know you and what you're looking for in a house and does a great job communicating all that information to you in a timely and thoughtful manner. One thing I found when buying a house is that people don't respond in a timely manner AT ALL, but Brook does. Not only that, she's super knowledgable with everything real estate and was super patient with our questions, even when we asked the same ones over and over again. It was an absolute pleasure working with her. If you need a realtor, look no further... read more

I can't recommend Brook highly enough! We are exceptionally happy that we choose to work with her though our buying process. My husband and are were first time homebuyers, and she was recommended to us by a colleague. Before choosing a realtor, we interviewed 3 other people, and during our initial meeting we were impressed by how Brook answered our questions about the process without making us feel stupid, and really took the time to listen to what we were looking for. Despite exceptionally low inventory, she found us a perfect place within a month. Because of our bad choice in our broker, our escrow process ended up being exceptionally stressful and complicated. To no fault of Brook's, there were countless issues along the way (appraisal coming out to low, having to make a revised offer, not being able to get ahold of the broker for weeks at a time, having a loan denied, having to get extension, etc. etc. etc.), and Brook fought for us the entire time. I'm sure that any other realtor would have told us to walk away, and find a different house, but not Brook. She understood that this was our dream home, and never thought of us as "just an account" or "just a house". She did countless small things along the way, like sending us handwritten notes of "thanks for letting me work with you" & "congrats your in escrow!" She came to our home to help us prepare our offer, and kept us updated every step of the way. I was really impressed how she treated us a friend, not just a client. Her communication is excellent, always answering a text, email or phone call promptly. She is easy to talk to, supportive, and was happy to accommodate my husband and I's rather scattered schedule. I have, and will, strongly recommend Brook as a realtor. read more

Brook is a skilled Real Estate agent who obviously loves her profession. When working with us, she has the utmost patience as we looked for "the perfect house". She also knows "the perfect house" means different things to different people and really connects with what a client needs and wants. Brook and the support team she recommended for everything from our mortgage to inspecting our furnace have been with us, even after all the papers had been signed and the keys were in hand. I'd recommend her wholeheartedly. Adriann S, Happy Homeowner in Petaluma since 2013 read more

Brook is an exceptional realtor. Not just because of her extensive experience in Sonoma County real estate, but also because of her work ethic, people skills, and ability to close. Brook secured my dream home when it had 4 offers and for less than asking price. She was supportive through a difficult escrow and helpful with referrals from lenders to carpet cleaners. I'd highly recommend working with Brook - she's the best! read more

Brook Terhune is an extremely knowledgeable, professional, and caring realtor and made our home buying process an incredibly easy endeavor. She treated us like family and went above and beyond to find us our dream home even when It meant talking us out of homes that we were making too many compromises for. She took the time to understand our wants and needs and sought out exactly what we wanted. I can not recommend her enough. She is more than just our realtor now, she is family. Thank you so much! read more

Brook was a true professional, she was always there for us when we needed her and she successfully helped us navigate a crazy real estate market and land the house of our dreams. She was there for us every step of the way throughout the process, and we highly recommend her as a real estate agent. We were deeply touched by her gift after the close of the sale, it was very personal and thoughtful, and meant the world to us. read more

I can't say enough great things about Brooke - she is the BEST! We recently bought a house in Sonoma County and she was such a gem to work with. Not only is she super knowledgeable about all thing Sonoma County, she also did a wonderful job of listening to our wants and needs without being pushy. We are first time home buyers (so full of questions and anxiety!) and she was incredibly patient with us, as well as extremely on it with communication. Anytime we needed something, she got back to us right away. She was also amazing to work with during a pandemic - always following the proper protocol during COVID and making sure we felt safe in every property we looked at. One thing we really appreciated was the consultation she did with us (via zoom due to the pandemic), prior to looking at any homes. She had a very thorough questionnaire that helped her to hone in on homes she thought were perfect for us. We found plenty of places on other platforms that seemed "perfect" until we saw them in person, but our dream home that we ended up buying was one that she recommended we see. She knew what we wanted and she was spot on! In addition to being such a wonderful realtor during the buying process, she has continuted to keep in touch with us since we moved in. I really appreciate her occational follow up calls and texts, just to make sure we are happy and have everything we need. That is what good customer service is all about! If you are looking to buy a home in Sonoma County, look no further that Front Porch Realty and Brooke Terhune - truly and amazing team! read more

I bought my house in 2005 with my then girlfriend. Terrible move on my part and I ultimately paid for it in 2010. We broke up thankfully, however the house tied us together. With little and difficult communication with the ex regarding the house, that Brook dealt with, I finally short sold my home. This was a difficult time for me because I really loved that house and put a lot of money, sweat, and time into it. Brook stepped into the situation with ease after she was referred to me by my brother. Brook from the start, was ON IT. She explained everything she knew to me regarding short sales. She dealt with the bank on a daily basis. When we were getting two and three different answers from the bank Brook handled it swiftly and quickly. She always did what she said she would do. That seems like a given in business practice however some people make promises they can't keep and simply don't GET customer service. The one thing I loved the most about working with Brook was her sense of urgency and her patience. She made one of the hardest things I had to do semi easy. If she didn't know an answer she would find it, She didn't guess. She was super easy to work with and was very organized. In the future if I ever enter the market again, I would definitely use Brook as my agent and as always bring her a vanilla Latte when we met in person. Matt Werle read more

I just had the best real estate experience of my adult life - all thanks to Brook's integrity and customer service. This is not the first time I have sold and purchased real estate. However, with Brook's guidance, this was far and above The Best experience I ever had. Customer Service is at the center of the experience working with Brook. Brook goes above and beyond any previous realtor I have ever used, whether it was the purchase of my home or the sale of my home, Brook always made certain that I knew what was happening and any questions about the process were answered - sometimes even before the questions were asked! Brook was always one step ahead. I cannot recommend Brook enough, if you are looking for a real estate agent, look no further. You have found the best when you found Brook. read more

We highly recommend Brook and her team. She recently guided us through the sale of our home (1st sale transaction for us), purchase of a new home, and in addition to our original home purchase in 2012. I attest to the great things that others have said about Brook. She is detail focused, professional, generous with her time, great with setting expectations and managing the timeline, well connected for referrals/etc, and literally saved us over $10k during sale & purchase negotiations. Thanks Brook! Amy and Rob Walker read more

I have known Brook for several years through friends. We chose her as our realtor because of her great reputation and because she truly cares about her clients. She was incredibly supportive during the entire process, which can be very overwhelming for first home buyers. She was responsive to texts, emails, and phone calls and helped us close on a home in a very competitive market. She fought for us and wouldn't let us settle for a home that didn't fit our needs exactly. She encouraged us to keep looking and she was right. We found our dream home! I would highly recommend her as your realtor. She is THE BEST! read more
