I AM A BUILDER
For over 26 years, I have built a life and business of excellence, championing the disruption of life’s interrupters. As a Forbes and Fortune-endorsed real estate broker, I’ve traveled the world, coaching top-performing Realtors and business owners nationwide. My mission? To empower others to create million-dollar businesses and reach new heights. This is my story…
Valarie R. Brooks
With over $1 billion in real estate sales, I rank in the top 1% of Realtors in Charlotte, NC. My journey began with Maya Angelou’s mantra: “Life begins where fear ends.” Guided by this, I’ve earned accolades like Who’s Who America, the 5-Star Professional Award, and appearances on HGTV and The American Dream TV. My experience fuels my coaching academy, helping professionals re-invent, re-discover, and re-purpose their personal and professional lives.
EARLY LIFE & LESSONS
I come from a resilient middle-class family, grounded in love and a strong work ethic. My father’s struggles with PTSD and my own hearing deficiency shaped my ability to tune out negativity. My mother’s strength as a trailblazer inspired my belief in the power of perseverance. These experiences laid the foundation for my success and my commitment to breaking barriers.
THE MILLIONAIRE RISE & RAPID FALL
At 19, I bought my first home, igniting my passion for real estate. I left college, later returned for a marketing degree, and became a top-performing agent. However, the 2007 market crash shattered my business and personal life. My marriage ended, my father passed, and I faced severe health issues. I went from a million-dollar broker to broke — but not defeated. That period tested every part of me, but it also fueled my hunger for a comeback. It forced me to redefine what success meant beyond numbers, finding strength in the setbacks and resilience in the rebuilding.
THE COMEBACK STORY
Determined to rebuild, I founded Valarie R. Brooks Real Estate. My relentless pursuit of knowledge and growth led to a stronger, more resilient business. Today, I share my insights with women seeking to rise above challenges, break ceilings, and disrupt their own interrupters.
INTERRUPTERS DON’T STOP
In 2021, I lost my mother and suffered a traumatic brain injury, forcing me to relearn fundamental skills. Yet, these challenges gifted me a fresh perspective, deepening my commitment to transformation.
Building my team and growing my companies has set the stage for me to step into the coaching industry. Valarie R. Brooks Real Estate and Coaching Academy has been designed to:
- Help real estate agents and other business professionals who are stuck, tired of being the smartest in the room and need help to break that next ceiling of desire.
- Help real estate agents who experienced many challenges and setbacks, have the desire to get back on the road to an extraordinary life but need that “right” coach to help them.
LET’S INTERRUPT THE INTERRUPTERS
Over time, my commitment to transformation has deepened. Despite life challenges that tried to derail me, I’ve come to understand that true change is about shifting beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors—not just surface adjustments. Extensive training and development programs have further refined my understanding of transformation and equipped me to help others on their transformative journeys. I’ve also added to my list of credentials:
- Certified and Proven Real Estate
- Certified Transformation Coach
- Certified Behavioral Specialist
- Certified Business Coach
As your Disrupter, I will show you how to Interrupt the Interrupters in…
Your personal life: Achieve your potential and live an uninterrupted, fulfilling life.
Your business life: Increase productivity, and achieve remarkable measurable success.
Your belief system: Overcome self-limiting beliefs and unleash their highest potential.

WHAT I BELIEVE
THE BUILDER MOVEMENT
Just like building a house, building a successful life, mindset, and business require a solid foundation. A solid foundation of core values and beliefs serves as the basis for making important decisions and taking actions that align with your goals. Its takes a strong “SHIFT”. When it comes to mindset, building a positive and growth-oriented mindset is similar to building a house with strong walls and a sturdy roof.
FOUNDATION
“Every successful endeavor starts with a solid foundation. Just as a home needs a strong foundation to withstand the test of time, so too does personal growth and business success. Building a home requires a well-designed and structurally sound foundation, while transforming the mind requires a strong sense of self-awareness and belief in one’s potential. Similarly, building a business requires a clear vision, defined values, and a solid business plan as its foundation.”
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT & MAINTENANCE
“Once the foundation is set, it’s time to construct the framework. In the context of building a home, the framework provides the structure and support. Similarly, transforming the mind requires framework of beliefs, attitudes, and habits that support personal growth. Building a business involves establishing the organizational structure, systems, and processes that drive efficiency and effectiveness. This framework serves as the backbone for growth and success in both personal and professional realms.”
LET’S INTERRUPT THE INTERRUPTERS
“Just as a home requires ongoing maintenance and occasional renovations to keep it in good condition, personal growth and business success necessitate continuous improvement. Maintaining a growth mindset and continuously expanding our knowledge and skills is essential for personal development. Likewise, entrepreneurs must adapt to market changes, embrace innovation, and seek professional guidance to foster continuous business growth and success.”
MAXIMIZING POTENTIAL & EXTRAORDINARY LIFE
“Both in the realm of home construction and personal/business growth, professionals play a vital role. Homeowners rely on architects, contractors, and skilled tradespeople for their expertise in building and renovating. Similarly, individuals seeking personal growth and entrepreneurs building their businesses can benefit from working with coaches, consultants, and who possess specialized knowledge and insights. These professionals provide guidance, strategies, and support to maximize potential and achieve extraordinary results.”
