WELCOME HOME

WHEN WE GET TO SAY “WELCOME HOME” TO YOU, WE’LL KNOW WE’VE DONE OUR JOB WELL.

“Welcome home” means we’re glad you’ve chosen our community here in Western Mass to lay down your own roots because this is where our roots began over 70 years ago. The Brochu family – our family – opened their first business in Chicopee in 1949, serving the insurance needs of their neighbors. Jeff, along with his sister, continues to lead the insurance agency, while he and his wife Kim own and operate Brochu Real Estate, and both businesses benefit from the commitment of third and fourth-generation family members.

WHO WE ARE

We take so much pride in treating our clients like family, getting to know you, and really taking time to understand what you’re looking for in a home and how we can make the whole experience a great one for you. We can’t wait to meet you! Until then, allow us to introduce ourselves.

KIM & JEFF BROCHU

Jeff, Owner-Broker I bring over twenty years combined experience in real estate and insurance which enables me to provide complete professional guidance for you throughout every phase of your real estate transaction. brochurealestate@gmail.com (413) 374-6858

Kim, Owner-Agent I joined my husband five years ago incorporating my detail-oriented sales management skills, and attentive and encouraging personal customer service into our business. brochurealestate@gmail.com (413) 374-6929

We pride ourselves on how uniquely personalized our approach is in this business. Because a place that truly feels like home for our own family (five combined children and one grandchild!) means everything to us, we take the time to connect with you, our client, to find out what home means to you. Taking that time to get to know you and your family is the foundation of our success.

In the last 5 years, we have sold more than $10,000,000 in real estate transactions and we have you and your trust in us to thank for that!
