🧭 Our Clients & How We Help
We’re proud to serve a wide range of clients — from concerned spouses and everyday people to attorneys, business owners, and high-net-worth families who trust us to protect what matters most. Whether it’s their reputation, property, or peace of mind, our clients know they can count on us to deliver discreet, results-driven investigations.
Many of our clients don’t live in Florida or the Gulf of America full time. They reside out of state, across the country, or even internationally, and rely on our agency to act as their boots on the ground. In these cases, we often become a long-term solution — not just for a single issue, but as a trusted ongoing presence.
For these individuals and families, we offer a private annual retainer service. This exclusive arrangement gives clients direct access to our agency year-round. Whether they need a background check on a new vendor, a quiet visit to their property after a storm, a check-in on their security system or cameras, or someone to confirm that contractors or staff are showing up and doing what’s expected — we handle it personally and professionally. In some cases, we’ve even been called upon to provide discreet personal protection or respond in person to time-sensitive concerns.
Our retainer clients value having someone local they can trust — someone who knows their property, understands their expectations, and can act immediately when something doesn’t feel right. This is a concierge-style service built on long-term trust, responsiveness, and confidentiality. Pricing and availability are discussed privately and depend on the scope of need.
Whether you’re here full-time or managing your life from across the country, Brooks Detective Agency is the team you call when you need answers — quickly, quietly, and without excuses.
