William Brokhof

About Us:

I have earned my experience by working with the best in the business, having spent part of my career thus far administering sales and marketing for the one of the principals of Prudential Unlimited Realty, John Maxfield. My first year at what was then Prudential Maxfield & Company presented me with the "Rookie of the Year," "Over 5 million dollars in sales" and "Leading Edge" (over $130,000 GCI) awards. Since then, I have received the "Leading Edge" award every year, and now, I am proud to add my 2005 & 2007 "President's Circle" (over $200,000 GCI) awards to this prestigious list. Through the years, I have developed strong connections with area brokers, developers, and trades people, gaining priceless experience and skill in negotiations, marketing and sales. In 2004 I developed The Boston Home Team in response to an overwhelming increase in my sales volume. The team is comprised of myself, Christine Li (my wife) & Carrie Anne Li (my sister-in-law). The Home Team is dedicated to creating unique marketing opportunities for our clients and providing maximum exposure in a very competitive market.

Areas of Expertise

I focus on the following:
• "Knock your socks off" approach to marketing of homes in the Boston area
• Serving the unique needs of developers and investors in the new development/renovations market
• The tireless pursuit of homes for exclusive buyer clients

Testimonials

"Will and his team did an unbelievable job with the sale of our condo. From ideas on how to present the unit, to the mass marketing of the property, and eventual sale; I came away not only satisfied, but entirely impressed. We never even made it to our open house, the condo had multiple offers the day before - unheard of in today's market." -- Mark & Sarah Lucas

"There's no way to escape stress when selling and buying a home, but Will and Christine made the process as smooth and worry-free as possible. They put together an aggressive marketing plan and had great professional advice for preparing our condo for showings. In a market that saw similar units languishing for months, ours sold in FOUR DAYS! And as people, Will and Christine are lovely to work with: they're experts in their field, responsible, responsive and able to handle the realty wrinkles that invariably arise between finding buyers and closing. Of course, the best part is they both have great senses of humor, a huge plus for turning what could be totally un-fun into good times. Many, many thanks to Will and Christine!" -- Rachel Keegan & Matt McGlinn

"We are thrilled with The Boston Home Team! Will and Christine delivered everything they promised and more. They gave us a thorough, printed report on comparable properties to help us set a competitive price. They staged our condo and took fantastic professional photos. They also applied their extensive knowledge of Jamaica Plain to implement a very effective multimedia marketing campaign. As first-time sellers, we relied on Will and Christine for lots of advice and information, and they always took time to answer our questions. The proof of their skills was in the results: we had two very well-attended open houses and numerous showings, and our condo went under agreement after only 16 days on the market. They even managed to get two buyers to bid against each other, which helped increase our sale price. Thanks Will and Christine!" -- Brian & Rebecca Grimm

"One thing that makes Will and Christine such a successful and respected team is their ability to really think outside the creative box. They pioneered the original "art house" idea, which after it's success, was replicated by competing brokers around town. Rather than sit back and wait for a property to sell itself, they really enjoy putting a creative and effective spin on everyday, run of the mill marketing ideas. Any seller who works with them should know that they are employing the services of a dedicated and creative team." -- Alison Zilzer, Realtor

"I worked with Will Brokhof and the Boston Home Team while developing several condominiums in Jamaica Plain. At a time when there was a real buyer's market, Will was extremely creative in coming up with ways to let people know about the units. We hosted an "Arthouse" at the location, which resulted in over 500 people coming through the property over two weekends. I think this was a rare "win-win-win" situation. It created a great cultural event for JP, it benefited the artists who showed and sold their work, and it helped us expose our properties to a wide audience. Will was also excellent in helping us through the entire marketing and sales process, and helped ensure that the sales went smoothly through to a successful conclusion. I highly recommend Will and the Boston Home Team, and look forward to working with them again in the future!" -- Sam Levine, Partner, Community Glue Devleopment, LLC

"I just wanted to write a note to say thank you again for all of your help and patience through our home buying adventure. You have a great personality for this work, and you made us feel like everything was always going to be okay (and it was). It was a pleasure to meet you, and Chris and I wish you all the happiness in the world." -- Rebekah and Chris Pierson

"There were plenty of real estate agents who offered their services, but very few of them had the charm, charisma, and individual level of care that Will and Christine have. We would do it all over again! In fact, we will do it all over again! We just hope they are around and available for our next purchase. We have absolutely nothing but great things to say about them. It will be to your advantage to work with them." -- Archie Areche & Jeff Carbone

"We didn't think we were going to be able to pull off buying a place in Boston, but Will and Christine came highly recommended and they definitely delivered. The first day we went out looking at places with Will, we could tell that we were in good hands and that he really was looking out for our best interests as buyers. We met lots of other agents and after our experience with Will and Christine we would never work with any others in Boston. It was so great to have neighborhood people on our side as we were trying to find the perfect place for us in the neighborhood. One of the most stressful and most important things we have ever done, buying our first home, was made smooth and comfortable through the hard work and care of these two people." -- Dan Pond & Lizzy Ames

"I first met Will Brokhof in September of 2006. My daughter, who is a neighbor of Will's, recommended him and introduced us. I had rented since I came to Boston in 1984 and wasn't sure of how to achieve ownership. Will guided me every step of the way and made the process as painless as possible. He also recommended the professionals that I needed to make this happen. From credit rating to closing took only six weeks; and thanks to Will Brokhof, I was unpacking boxes in my condo by the first week in November." -- Nancy Keller
