Brooke Pottle, REALTOR®
Brooke is an Arizona native who took an 11 year hiatus from the desert to spend some time exploring all Alaska has to offer. Growing up as the only girl with three younger brothers in Peoria, she learned to find calm in the midst of chaos. Brooke has a strong background in athletics which led her to earn a college volleyball scholarship at the University of Alaska Anchorage. After volleyball, Brooke became the wholesale manager and marketing coordinator for a nationwide food business, working with key accounts like REI, Sportsman's Warehouse, Scheels, and more. During the sale of her Alaska home, Brooke realized her passion in real estate and decided to study for her license when landing back in Arizona. Fast forward to now, Brooke is dedicating her time to co-mingling her passions of sales, marketing, and real estate into one. When she's not bouncing around to open houses or obsessing over newsletter design, you can find her making a mess in the kitchen, most likely baking banana bread or some sort of scone. |

Hi, I’m Cherie Piccoli — an Arizona native with deep roots in the Valley and a lifelong love for helping people feel truly at home. After living in just about every corner of the Phoenix metro area, I’ve gotten to know this city like an old friend. Before real estate, I spent 27 years in the banking world, including 23 years with the Federal Reserve Bank, where precision, deadlines, and high standards ruled the day. That experience shaped how I work now: organized, detail-driven, and fully committed to getting things right the first time. In real estate, I get to pair my people-loving heart with the process-obsessed side of my brain. I believe buying or selling a home should feel exciting, not stressful, and I guide my clients with clarity, confidence, and plenty of support. |

Dulce Leon, REALTOR®
Born and raised in Arizona, I have a deep love for the communities that make this state such a special place to call home. My passion for real estate began at a young age while working as a leasing agent at an apartment complex—handing over keys and seeing the excitement and smiles on my clients’ faces showed me the joy of helping someone start a new chapter. Although my professional background includes multiple careers in the medical field, I always knew real estate was where my heart truly belonged, and that early experience ultimately led me to pursue my passion as a real estate agent. Married for 15 years and a proud mother of three daughters, I understand the importance of finding not just a house, but a place where families can grow, feel secure, and create lasting memories.
