ZillowVERIFIEDJohn gives everyone individual attention and care, and doesn't only work 9-5. He was fantastic assisting us selling our home when there were several obstacles to overcome. He made it as pain free as possible and was always available for questions. I HIGHLY recommend him!He is highly professional and incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate market, as well as area to buy/sell in
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn goes above and beyond for his clients. He has helped me and my family with all of our real estate needs for years. He is very knowledgeable in buying, selling, building and anything in between. Him and his family are wonderful people who truly care.
ZillowVERIFIEDIt has just been a little over a year of purchasing my first home. I'm so glad John was recommended to me to help with this process. Everything was new and sometimes confusing for me. John was very helpful at explaining everything, quick to respond, and made the process go extremely smooth. I would highly recommend reaching out to John when purchasing a home.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn has been extremely helpful in our out of state investments in the Huntsville area. In the past ~2 years he has helped us purchase and place tenants in 3 different properties. Two of the purchases were part of a tricky 1031 exchange that John helped us execute quickly to satisfy all of the timing hoops we had to jump through. We spoke to several agents in the Huntsville area and there is no one we felt more confident partnering with for all our transactions!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn is very professional and knowledgeable, yet very approachable and easy to work with. He helped us to sell AND buy our house, and the experience was great! Would definitely recommend John Brooks for all of your real estate needs!
ZillowVERIFIEDI worked with John to purchase our current home. I am always skeptical and somewhat dread the house buying process cause there are so many untrustworthy folks out there, but John was wonderful! From the very beginning with searching for options, he is very easy to communicate with. And, when we started meeting up for viewing possible homes, we definitely tried a lot of different options and he was very helpful and knowledgeable about things to look for when viewing homes! My husband and I were very happy with our experience, we would definitely recommend and will continue to work with John in the future!
ZillowVERIFIEDHad a great experience with John Wesley Brooks!! When I went to look at a home John was there for the seller. I was new to the area and didn't have a realtor. When I walked in I knew right away I wanted that house and as I talked to John I knew I wanted advice from him! He was completely honest about how long the house was on the market and helped me decide how to structure my offer. I really felt like he was completely fair to his seller and me as a potential buyer because he spoke in facts! I am in the market again and will be using John to sell our house. I only have great things to say about him and his family!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn is so professional and so knowledgeable, he really knows what to look for when buying a home or property. We were looking for some land and John showed us several places that might be a good fit, and him and his wife took the time to walk the property with us! I never felt rushed or pushed to do anything and he always posed questions to us to find out more of what we wanted. He really is a great realtor to work with!
ZillowVERIFIEDI have had the pleasure of working with John for 3 years now. What started with 1 multifamily investment property, snowballed into multiple properties, all with John. His market knowledge and experience guided me in the right path and I have now accumulated a portfolio of investment properties in the Huntsville area. Thanks John!
ZillowVERIFIEDI cant say enough great things about John! He helped me with my first home buy and I honestly couldnt have done it without him. John is patient, kind, and caring with all of his clients no matter how big the purchase. I appreciate all of the time he spent securing my first home and I will definitely seek his help for any future purchases. I would highly suggest ALWAYS using John for all of your Real Estate needs!
ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I are so thankful for finding a realtor like John. He not only knows the Huntsville area like the back of his hand but hes also very professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and great to work with. We were in a very unique situation a few months ago and the housing market didnt make things easy, but with Johns help we were able to find a place to call home again. Couldnt recommend him more and will definitely be using John again in the future. Also, thanks John for always been so patient responding to my endless questions. =)
ZillowVERIFIEDWith John Wesley Brooks, youll have the best experience you can hope for when buying or selling a home. He sold our last home before the sale sign was even placed in the front yard and he helped us get into our new home quickly! We were looking to downsize and John worked within our schedule while looking for new home that would fit our needs. Thanks so much!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn helped my family relocate to Madison, AL. He was great to work with remotely and face to face. He helped us get into a rental for a few months and ultimately helped us find our new HOME! Great guy! extraordinarily patient and thorough during every step of the home buying process!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn found a tenant for our rental property over 10 years ago and she is still occupying the property. John helped us purchase our last home in 2013 and sale it in 2021. We built our new home with him that we recently moved in. John and Juliet have become family members over the years.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn Brooks made it easier to find a house in Huntsville Alabama. We are out of state but He was prompt in responding and had great suggestions and advice. I would recommend him. In addition He was able to assist in finding tenants and show the homes and respond to each applicant. After he was able to help with all the paper work and setting up the property. Cant thank him enough for his support.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn helped us sell a house and find and buy another house in the stress of 2020. He not only knows a lot about real estate, he understands home construction. This is a huge plus when you need to quickly evaluate a home on the initial viewing (not every realtor has this knowledge!) John thinks fast on his feet and has solutions. When an issue comes up that could delay a closing, or even shut down a sale all together, John understands how to help both sides keep cool heads and maintain positive negotiations. He's super smart. We have worked with other realtors in the past that have been ok, but John is like a secret weapon realtor. He will be our first call when we are ready to buy and sell again.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn Brooks took all the stress off of me when buying and selling my house! His years of experience have given him a wealth of knowledge that I was able to take advantage of. His network of connection and experience with builders, agents, and neighborhoods have been invaluable when trying to make a decision on such an important purchase for me and my family. Id give him well over five stars if I could!!!!!
ZillowVERIFIEDFor the past 2 years, we have had the pleasure of working with John Wesley Brooks in the rental of a property we purchased in 2020. We found him to be extremely knowledgeable of the Huntsville/Madison housing market and all area zoning and city planning proposals effecting the housing market.He correctly priced our home for rent, maximizing our investment. He has been an excellent intermediary and negotiator and kept us apprised at all times of any concerns or developments with our property.We have found him to be personable, prompt, efficient, and thorough in all our interactions.We would recommend him without reservation for any purchase or rental needs.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn helped us to buy our first out-of-state multi-unit investment property in Huntsville. After getting outbid a few times, he found us a great off- market property that we successfully purchased. He is currently helping us to find another property. John is an investor and property manager himself, so his in-depth knowledge of rental values and areas around town has been a great resource when deciding which properties to make offers on that provided the best returns on investment. He is always courteous and quick to respond to my questions. He also provided helpful contacts for insurance quotes, property managers, lending institutions, etc. I highly recommend John without reservation.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn sold us this house 8 years ago. He did a great job then and we knew we wanted him to sell the house for us. He was very helpful and always willing to answer question as well as keeping us posted on what we needed to do.
ZillowVERIFIEDI am a first time home buyer working third shifts, so my schedule is horrible to try and line up with viewing homes. John Brooks was great with responding to my messages and emails promptly each morning after I would send homes to him late at night. He was also great with making sure we could view the homes on my time schedule. His knowledge of the area and his trade were outstanding and he was always willing and able to answer all of my questions every step of the way. I would highly recommend him as a realtor for any new home buyers or to anyone looking for help in the Madison County area.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn is an outstanding realtor, he is a local with family heritage and his knowledge on the area is unparalleled. He was there for our family always, even when arriving last minute to see properties from out of state. He has a great understanding of all the wonderful schools in the area too, public and private. We highly recommend John, he made the entire experience enjoyable from prospecting through closing.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn is one of THE best realtors that Ive seen in my journey of investing in multi states. John is very sharp and professional, operates fast, gives most accurate market estimate and is a great strategist in terms of coming up the best way of winning the deal. I really enjoy working with John and as an OOS investor, John has been a great help when it comes to helping me understand the market. John is also very resourceful, giving me many good referrals and help me with new construction deals that I'm interested in.If you want to expand your portfolio in HSV, John is The one you can trust and learn from. Truly appreciate everything he has been doing for me. And I'm looking forward to acquiring more houses with him in the future!!
ZillowVERIFIEDI was told before I moved back to Madison County that I would not find what I was looking for in the current market. Those people obviously hadn't met John. His guidance on what to buy and what not to buy in the current market was invaluable. Once we found a proverbial needle in a haystack (a ready to move in new build, at a great price), John really stepped up his game and helped me to not only know what offer to make but also when to make it. His assistance didn't stop with the offer being accepted. He immediately began guiding me in how to find appliances and other items that were on backorder by recommending places he had seen his other clients get them. When I asked about people to put in a fence, blinds and some other odds and ends, he quickly gave recommendations and followed up to make sure they did a good job. BTW, he sold my mom's house and helped my sister buy and sell two of her homes. John helped us find our dream home, so we absolutely could not recommend anyone more than we would recommend John Brooks.
ZillowVERIFIEDFantastic Agent and Amazing Person! I was incredibly fortunate to have met John Brooks in 2012, especially since I was inexperienced and just starting to buy investment properties. He gave me a very thorough introduction and explanation to the single family home investment strategy in Huntsville area, and helped me buy several properties in this very competitive market in Madison, AL and Harvest, AL. He is, hands down, an incredible strategist when it comes to putting in offers - he uses his well connected resources, effectively communicates to all parties, and is a great coach for approaching offers. When I went through escrow, he went above and beyond for us - he thoroughly reviewed our inspections, negotiated for credit where it was due, and helped me with Home Improvements to get best renters.Best of all - Not only is he a fantastic agent, but he's also an amazing person with an approachable, reliable, caring, and friendly personality.John is definitely someone you are looking for to buy and sell properties in Madison, AL and Harvest, AL! :)
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn was very pleasant and professional to work with. He was very knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions. He walked us through every step, and made my husband and I feel very comfortable throughout the whole selling process. We highly recommend him for any and all things real estate.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn has been tremdous guiding us thru buying our out of state rental investments last three years. We value his expert and honest opinions. No pressure sells whatsoever. Regardless how many things are on his plates, he promptly responses your questions and follows thru everything he says. We are lucky to have he on our team.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn has been excellent to work with over the past several months. We connected with him in early 2021 and are under contract on our second investment property in the Huntsville area. With us being out of state I can't imagine a better realtor to work with. He has provided us great insights to the local market and what prospective renters will be looking for in each neighborhood we consider. John is very respectful and easy to work with. He is timely with any deliverables and deadlines and accessible to answer questions. I look forward to working with him on many more transactions in the future!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn Brooks came highly recommended to me and he has been helping me purchase rental homes in the Huntsville market. He is extremely knowledgeable about the local market and is well connected with the real estate community. John has helped manage some of my renovations without me having to coordinate with the vendors and it has been a huge help. He has also saved me a ton of money by utilizing his network of contractors so I am not overcharged since I am out of state. He has also been able to provide me some of his pocket listings before they get on the market so this has saved me a ton of money as well. All in all, John works for you and you can't go wrong with him!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn was professional, very responsive, and extremely helpful in helping me and my business partner acquire our first investment property in Huntsville, Alabama while living out of state. It was an aEURoeoff marketaEUR? deal, and John answered all our questions, and quickly sent documents when requested. I would gladly do business with John, and he comes highly recommended from me!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn and his family worked with us like we were their only client. John was quick to respond and took whatever time to answer questions and chase down properties while we looked online across the country. I would recommend John and his family to anyone in need of a property.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe have been working with John Brooks and his family for the last 3 years for our buying and selling real estate transactions. We have appreciated them for their knowledge, honesty, trustworthiness, integrity, and no pressure approach. John listens to your needs so he understands what you are looking for and how it must fit into your lifestyle. We highly recommend John Brooks and family as your realtor because they can accomplish your real estate dreams.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn is knowledgeable, responsive and is well connected. Within our short time working together, he's helped me purchase a few properties as well as place a tenant (an excellent one too) in the one he's managing before I closed. He takes the time to understand your situation and your criteria, is not afraid to set realistic expectations for you and move on a property when you're ready. He's an investor friendly realtor, but I have no doubt that he will help you find the home of your dreams if that's what you're looking for. I cannot recommend his services enough. If you are looking to buy a home in the HSV area, this is your guy!
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn helped me find an investment property remotely this year. Since I am out of state, I needed someone I could trust, and John walked me through the entire process from sourcing a property through closing through finding a property manager. He was really easy to communicate with and listened to my objectives and worked tirelessly to find me the right property. He went above and beyond to manage the pre-closing, as there were a number of issues from the sellers side that made the deal more complicated than expected. I would gladly work with him again and recommend him to anyone.
ZillowVERIFIEDMr. John Brooks has mad skills!!!! If you want an agent who will jump through hoops and fight for you, he's your man! His extensive knowledge of the local area is impressive, he eagerly responds to calls and emails (no matter the time or day), and most importantly he listens to you and successfully executes. I sold my home on day one, and also went under contract on the purchase of my new home on day one. It doesn't get any better than that. First class service throughout the entire process!
ZillowVERIFIEDStraight to the point - there is nothing we could have wished more from a realtor that John and his family did not already offer. Simply outstanding.We met John back in 2016 when we were looking to rent; he educated us on the benefits of buying, helped us buy our home, provided recommendations on various homeownership items and, 4 years later, helped us sell the house for a nice profit. During this time, we became part of their family, kids grew up playing together, we spent quality time together and have established a friendship that expands well beyond real estate.Thank you for all you did for us!
ZillowVERIFIEDI was looking for a great investor-friendly real estate agent in the Huntsville market whom I can rely on and maybe build my portfolio around. I was referred to John. From start to finish, John was very knowledgeable about the local market, professional, easy to get a hold of, well-connected, and hard working throughout the entire process. He coordinated multiple parties and navigated many hurdles to get the deal done. He has my highest recommendation and I look forward to working with him again.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn is a fantastic realtor! We found John in 2016 while looking to purchase our first home. He worked as our buyer broker and helped us find the perfect home for our growing family in the heart of Madison. John knew the area well and was able to show us a wide variety of homes that would work for us. He negotiated our offer and was able to save us thousands!4 years later we made the decision to move to Europe. John gave us great advice on prepping our home for listing and his wife took amazing photos. He came prepared to our initial discussion with numerous comps for our area and advised us to list at a higher value than we initially planned. Within 2 weeks we had our home listed for sale and accepted an offer in just 5 days that was for far more than we had anticipated. We moved to Europe while our home was under contract, and John made the entire process easy and stress free for us. He coordinated everything for us while we were gone from inception, to having a contractor do minor repair work, to managing the appraisal. John also handled our closing and kept us informed every step of the way. While we were initially a bit nervous to sell our first home remotely, John made it seamless for us. His attention to detail, prompt communication, and vast knowledge of the housing market made it possible for us to move and rest easy that our home was in good hands. We highly recommend John and his team if you are either buying or selling a home. We only wish he could come to Europe to help us find our new home here!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe were very happy with the services provided by John. He patiently answered all of our questions about the area and the home buying process. He was with us every step of the way and we would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in this area.
ZillowVERIFIEDJohn is an outstanding agent! He took time to walk us through many properties we were interested in, and was able to provide details about the surrounding areas so we could make an informed decision. He helped us find our dream home and worked with us and the seller to get us the best deal. He explained everything to us at each step, and was quick to answer our many questions or find the correct answer. We used an out of state lender, which proved to be more of a headache than it is worth. John explained the hassle to us at the beginning, and I wish we would have listened! However, he made sure we stayed on top of the process to get to our closing date on time. I highly suggest anyone who is looking for a new home to use John, and to listen to his recommendations! Top quality!

ZillowVERIFIEDJohn W. Brooks is one of most knowledgeable real-estate professionals I have worked with over the last 25 years as a real-estate investor. He is a trustworthy professional and a true pleasure to work with. As an out-of-state investor new to the Huntsville area, John went out of his way to show me several neighborhoods and a rare multi-unit property in Huntsville that we recently closed on. Without any hesitation, I recommend John Brooks to represent you on your next real estate transaction.
ZillowVERIFIEDJOHN WESLEY BROOKS PULLED. OFF. THE. DEAL! This was one of those nightmare closings where everything got thrown at us including the kitchen sink (COVID-19) and he closed it.
