About Town
OVER THE MOUNTAIN Journal
That Brooke Wahl would succeed as a Realtor doesn’t surprise anyone in her family. “I took her to work with me when she was a little girl,” says Charlotte Donald, Brooke’s grandmother, a second generation Birmingham Realtor, the daughter of Nelson Weaver, an industry pioneer in the 1950s. “At the age of seven, Brooke was answering the phone in our office and transferring calls, riding around town with me and unlocking homes for Open Houses,” says Charlotte. “But her tenacity was most apparent when she grilled me with questions: ‘Why hasn’t this house sold? Why this sales price? Why does this agent have more listings than you?’” Brooke’s mother Keke Donald, also a successful Birmingham Realtor, sees her daughter’s genuine interest in helping others as the key to her growing business. “Brooke’s husband is a UAB surgical resident and so she’s plugged into that community,” says Keke, who supports Brooke with behind-the-scenes details, managing technology and staging homes. “She loves helping new residents discover fun things about our hometown, acting as an ambassador and a concierge.” Clients looking to sell a home throughout the city have also discovered Brooke’s track record. Sold signs go up almost as quickly as for-sale signs. Brooke realizes she’s benefitted from great role models. “My grandparents and my mother have demonstrated how serving others, helping people find a home, is a rewarding career.” Brooke, along with her grandmother and mother, recently joined ARC Realty. Founder and Chairman Tommy Brigham is enthusiastic about what they bring to his company. “In Brooke, I see the best of a new generation of Realtors.” “What else would you do in our family?” asks Charlotte. “This is a new season for us: Brooke is the out-front agent, a natural people-person. Her mother and I get to play supporting roles, which means I have time to play with my great-granddaughter. She’ll probably be answering the phone in our office in a few years, too.”
