Brooke Bogart moved to Arizona from New York City to attend Arizona State University, earning a bachelor's and a master's in sustainable architectural design. She worked as an architect for many years before discovering her passion for helping people as a realtor. Ten years later, she says, “There is nothing like the thrill of helping a seller get the best price for their home or helping a buyer to find their perfect home!”
What drew you to real estate?
Real estate is the perfect synthesis of my passions for architecture, business, and helping people. Navigating one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives can be stressful and fraught with uncertainty. Having a solid background in business permitted me to better explain and interpret options to assist people with this life-altering decision by clearly presenting information to guide my clients through the process.
Areas you specialize in?
I specialize in the East Valley, working with first-time home buyers and repeat buyers, from condominiums to mansions. Tempe is my home, but I cover the entire Valley! I also have a referral network of great agents I work with all over the world, so no matter where they move to, or move from, I am here to help! For those in a rush, I am both a cash buyer and 72 sold certified.
Your top real estate tip?
Set your emotions aside—I know it's easier said than done! And just about anything can be changed in a house, except its location. My architectural background helps my clients visualize how a home can be modified, and our immense network of professionals can turn a napkin sketch into a reality.
How do you give back to the community?
My mission statement is to be the conduit of contribution, and I live that with every ounce of my being. I am very proud of my community outreach, winning the Tempe Neighborhood Award in 2022 for an annual community block party, and consistently organizing donations and fundraisers for local nonprofits and groups. I have raised money for Kyrene school PTOs, Coronal sports teams, homeless foundations, food banks, and so much more.

"In my architectural career, I was fortunate enough to design Phoenix Fire Station 50, 54, and Chandler Fire Station 8, amongst others. It’s still a thrill to get to drive past my buildings! In my sustainability business, I facilitated the certification of sustainable buildings in our city, and across the country!"
