For Brooke Russell, real estate is personal. She understands that buying or selling a home is a meaningful life decision, and she believes every client deserves honest advice, thoughtful guidance, and someone who truly listens.
Originally from Arizona, Brooke moved to Southern California in 1999 to pursue a career in fashion and design. She later made the Del Mar area her home and started a family, while discovering a passion for transforming properties. Over more than two decades, she has brought her eye for interior design to home renovations and investment projects, gaining practical experience in recognizing potential, planning improvements, and preparing homes for resale.
In 2018, Brooke earned her California real estate license and began helping families throughout San Diego buy and sell homes. Today, with over $120 million in real estate sales, her experience spans luxury homes, coastal properties, condominiums, 55-plus communities, and investment opportunities. Based in Del Mar, she serves San Diego with a focus on coastal and North County communities, including Carmel Valley, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, La Jolla, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, and Rancho Bernardo.
Thoughtful, hardworking, and well connected within the real estate community, Brooke pairs strong negotiation skills with a warm, approachable style. Through Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, she combines local market knowledge, strategic pricing, thoughtful property preparation, and curated marketing to help clients make the most of their opportunities. Her design and renovation background allows her to help buyers see what a home could become and sellers understand how to present it at its best.
Brooke takes pride in offering concierge-level service with personal attention at every step. She personally attends every showing, anticipates questions, coordinates the details, and stays closely involved throughout the transaction. Her clients can count on clear communication and steady guidance, so they feel supported from their first conversation through closing and beyond.
Her work has earned SDAR Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards of Recognition between 2019 and 2025. Her team also ranked No. 78 among San Diego small teams in the 2025 rankings for sales volume and transaction sides.
Giving back is an important part of Brooke's life. She volunteers with local school districts, including the Solana Beach School District, and participates in community beautification efforts through the Church at RB. She was a founding member of Autism Enlight and proudly serves on the women's committee at Cristo Rey, supporting access to a private Catholic high school education for underserved teens.
Outside of real estate, Brooke is a proud mother of two teens. She enjoys interior design, renovating homes, hiking, Pilates, reading, writing, and spending time by the ocean. Her faith, family, and love for her community keep her grounded and shape the care she brings to every client relationship.
