Brooke Ireland, Realtor

Brooke Ireland, Realtor with Shaheen, Ruth, Martin & Fonville Real Estate

After an extensive career in athletics, Brooke feels that real estate is similar to being an athlete and coach. Whether it is finding the perfect property, negotiating the best deal, or managing a team through a transaction, these scenarios are heavily influenced by persistence and teamwork. Brooke’s passion for real estate started at an early age, as her parents and grandfathers’ professional careers included interior design, contracting, and land conservation. Brooke’s greatest gift is her ability to connect with people. While developing a personal relationship, Brooke listens to her clients' desires and looks to make the ease of buying or selling a home an enjoyable and straightforward experience.

Brooke is a lifelong Virginian who was raised in the horse country of Charlottesville and on the Potomac River in the Northern Neck. A graduate of St. Anne’s-Belfield, Brooke pursued her educational and athletic endeavors at Virginia Tech. She continued her post-graduate studies at the University of Virginia. After spending a year in Australia, Brooke returned to her alma mater, Virginia Tech, as the Head Women’s Lacrosse Coach. In 2001, Brooke moved to Richmond upon accepting a position as an Assistant Commissioner at the athletic conference, CAA. With a niche for coaching and mentoring young athletes, Brooke coached at the Collegiate School before returning to the college coaching world at The College of William & Mary. She has also been a proud business owner since 2007 with Trout & Poe, LLC.

Brooke is deeply rooted in the Richmond community. Brooke enjoys spending time with her husband, three sons, and two Labradors, whether at the river, on the field, or working on her house.
