I have a passion for real estate. My background as a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, successful real estate investor, property manager for my own real estate ventures, business owner, educator, and strategic planner bring you:
I love Sonoma County and the Russian River area and have owned and managed income and owner properties here since 2001. I have a long-term interest in affordable housing and in improving the quality of people’s lives. I am actively involved on a community level in social and cultural issues, in life transitions, and in issues related to aging. My life work is about making sure that you can have the greatest quality of life possible. I have sold the Blue Heron, The Pink Elephant & Patterson Point Preserve. This involved creating a grant with Sonoma County Agricultural & Open Space District and creating the loan plan for individuals in the community to provide the additional funds necessary to purchase this exceptional property. I am a creative thinker and am able to market and sell properties of many kinds.. I work predominantly by referral, which means that I spend time making sure that you receive excellent care. I am NEVER too busy for you and for your referrals. I know how to go the extra mile for you. Let’s get down to business!
“I met Kyla at an open house, we chatted about what I wanted and she went straight to it searching. Not only did she find me exactly what I wanted but she held my hand through the process of not only buying my first home ever but navigating the many land mines of Russian River property buying and owning, and there are many. She went above and beyond to make sure things were done properly and even met me at the Sonoma County offices to confirm the garage apt was legal. Once we closed, she continued to be a great resource and I can’t imagine this whole process without her expertise and advise.”
“Are we seeing a trend here? Just wrapped up a vacation rental home sale in Guerneville & Kyla made this process tremendously more pleasant than I expected. Kyla worked with me to get the details completed early in the process (disclosures, etc.) so as we got into escrow, there were no such things as last minute detail. It was all done.
She does an excellent job of setting expectations, active marketing & delivering what she promised before our contract was signed. In my experience Kyla has no peer in the Russian River residential real estate market.
I would seek her out, without hesitation, for any future real estate transaction I might have in the area.”
“Kyla is great to deal with. She really knows the Russian River market. She listens, and understood what I wanted, and explains the pros and the cons of each property I considered. I purchased a short sale as an investment and really couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Kyla also handled a sale of a property I held with partners and negotiated a good deal with complex financing, something necessary at times in a down market. After several deals I’m looking forward to working more with her.”
“Kyla is an outstanding Sonoma County agent. She is professional, knowledgeable, and insightful. She is available and responsive—she always answers her phone, replies promptly to emails, and is even available by text. Kyla has a really strong understanding of the local market and helpful connections. She’s resourceful and definitely an advocate for both buyers and sellers. She knows who to talk to when you need answers. What’s great about Kyla is that she knows her stuff and she makes it fun. Definitely recommend!”
“It is very rare that I would give any service oriented personnel a perfect 5 stars. That is because agents like Kyla Brooke do not exist. I happened to find Kyla over the internet while searching for our vacation home in the Russian River Valley and did not know what to expect. The service Kyla provided to my husband and I ALWAYS went above and beyond. The process and transaction of purchasing a property remotely from another state could have been difficult but we did not notice any difficulties because Kyla took care of all of the details for us. Her prompt communication, professionalism and genuine support for her clients cannot be beat. She has now set the bar incredibly high for all of the future real estate agent we will work with in the future. I cannot say enough about Kyla’s quality of service. I would recommend Kyla to anyone looking for an real estate agent in a heart beat! Thanks for everything you did for us Kyla.”
“I highly recommend Kyla. She was amazing throughout the entire process of buying my home, even after I closed on the house. Kyla is very skilled at negotiation and has a keen sense of what type of offer is needed to be competitive. Kyla was always available to answer my questions and walk me through things that I did not understand. She was also very supportive around the emotional up and downs of buying a house and helped me talk through some of my concerns as they came up. Most importantly, throughout the entire process, I felt that Kyla was putting my interests first.”
“Kyla is a fantastic realtor. She has great local knowledge, but more importantly for us, she thinks outside of the box. She can help you evaluate the best use for a property that you are interested in purchasing and has extensive knowledge of both the long term and vacation rental markets.
She is thorough in her evaluation of value, not only “true” value, but also the value that the property will bring a prospective buyer. Kyla is very organized and keeps all of the necessary paperwork and inspections moving.
I would whole heartedly recommend Kyla to anyone looking to either buy or sell a home.”
“Kyla helped us buy a 2nd home in the Russian River area and we couldn’t have done it without her. She proved to be invaluable to us, considering how unique properties in this area are. Beyond just helping us evaluate, bid, and negotiate on properties, she provided us with a deep knowledge around local regulations (which are always changing in that area!) as well as her extensive network of contacts for services. She was always available to answer all my questions and discuss issues, and she proactively made sure I took care of everything I needed to in a timely manner. No pressure to buy at any time. This is not a traditional real real estate market, so you absolutely need the help of an experienced and well connected realtor to help guide you. Kyla would be a great choice for folks buying a home or investment property.”
