Reasons People Hire Brooke & Co

Working with us

We’re knowledgeable

We know the city, the home selling and buying process, lending and title inside and out.

We’re friendly and easy going

We are easy to talk to, we’re approachable and we explain things in ways you can understand, no matter how many houses you have or haven’t bought or sold. Ask us anything…really.

We have a great team

You hire us all when you hire one of us and we truly work together from start to finish in a way one agent cannot. From our trusted lenders to title to our support staff and agents…to trusted contractors after closing. It simplifies the process.

Why People Refer Us Once They’ve Worked With Us

Working with us

Creativity

We use unconventional and ever changing techniques to get houses sold for the most money and to win clients the house that everyone else wants. We get the best terms possible for our clients’ homes in ways you’ll discover.

Fast, effective communication

They didn’t feel alone for one minute during the emotional and undeniably stressful process of selling or buying a house.

We don’t disappear after a sale

People email us for contractor connections, locksmiths, grocery store and restaurant recommendations after sales. Heck, sometimes we become lifelong friends and we’re hoping we do with you too!

PA+NJ Licensed


I have 17 years’ experience in residential and commercial properties throughout the Philadelphia area and inner ring suburbs. In my former life, I practiced law in Philadelphia in the areas of Premises and Products Liability, which translated beautifully into having a deep understanding of how houses “work” and Contract Law, not to mention completing two personal renovations and two other flips.

I live with my family in Wynnewood in a 1941 stone home and previously lived in Fishtown until 2011 and West Germantown until 2019. I am originally a native of Rochester, NY (go Wegmans!) and attended undergrad at Eugene Lang in New York City and University of Rochester, where I received a BA in Political Science in 1998. I attended Law School at State University of New York at Buffalo School of Law where I received a Juris Doctor in 2003 and became a member of the PA Bar as well in 2003.  I practiced in Philly for 2 1/2 years before making the leap to real estate, my true love.

He has lived all over the city in everything from a 6 bedroom Victorian townhouse he restored in South Philly, to a rehabbed house in Graduate Hospital, a new construction in Northern Liberties, to his current home: a Condo in Brewerytown.

In his previous life, he had over 20 years of experience in the pharmacy industry as a data analyst, which gives him the eye for detail and makes him a “numbers guy” that supplements his love of real estate. Sal holds a Bachelors of Science in Business Management.

Sal is well versed in every aspect of real estate sales – and there’s not a question you can ask him he hasn’t heard. He has a great knack for helping first time home buyers as well as investors, move-up buyers and renters alike.

When Sal isn’t selling houses, you can find him riding his motorcycle, cooking, baking, restoring old technology including antique radios and clocks, collecting mid-century furniture, working on cars and singing in various choruses.

Consuela was drawn to Philly in 2002 from her native NJ because it feels like a small tight-knit community where she’s always meeting new people, trying new restaurants and enjoying its culture and real estate is an extension of that for her. The process of selling and buying connects her with many different people whom she enjoys assisting in the puzzle-solving of what her clients need and want.

Consuela is a great problem-solver, easy to talk to and a fantastic leader to guide you in your search or your sale. When she isn’t working with clients, Consuela enjoys salsa and tango dancing, traveling and spending time with her family, which often involves arts and sporting activities for her son!
