"Brook and Rob are a fantastic team to work with and I couldn’t be happier for their help in buying my home! After spending months of going to open houses and meeting many potential agents to work with, I instantly knew I wanted to work with Brook when I met her at an open house. As I got to work with Brook and Rob, it became all the more evident that their interest in you and in finding you a home is genuine. I felt they went above and beyond my expectations with regards to communication, understanding my wants, and helping to ensure I find a quality home. It took two offers before I finally got a clean accepted offer. In both offers, Brook understood the importance of how timing is extremely important. In the first offer, Brook even worked from a mobile hotspot while on vacation until late at night to get my offer in. Though my first offer fell through because another accepted offer was able to release their contingency at the last possible second, timing ended up working in my...."

"Brook and Rob were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly during the time we were looking for a home with them. They helped us through each step of the process as we were first time home buyers and made everything very easy and smooth for us. Having two realtors (Brook and Rob) working for us as a team really helped increase their availability and flexibility for us to meet with them. Would recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

"Had a unique in-town home on 2.3 acres that was barn shaped. I was concerned it would take quite awhile till the right buyer came through. Brook sold it to the fourth client in two weeks on a private listing!"

"Brook Adkins went above and beyond anything that should be required from a real estate agent. She is knowledgeable about the local market, as well as being sweet, personable and tough -- traits not easy to find in only one agent!! At one point, we almost lost the buyers for my home, but Brook didn't give up. She brought us together with her amazing negotiation skills and made the sale happen. I highly recommend Brook Adkins to anyone looking for a pleasant real estate experience."

"We would highly recommend Brook to be your realtor! She was excellent at answering all questions, very knowledgeable in the real estate business and very quick with all communications. She was very professional in selling our previous home and in buying our new home. She really made the process as stress free as possible!"

"My husband and I were first time home buyers. Brook was always honest, professional, and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She made the process as easy as can be for us. After looking at a few homes, we found the one and thanks to her help we were able to get just what we wanted! A few questions have popped up here and there and she is always able to continue to offer her support. Would definitely recommend Brook to anyone who is looking to purchase a home!"

"You'll be hard-pressed to find another real estate team that gets the job done like the Adkins Real Estate Team. They did an excellent job of communicating with us throughout the whole buying and selling process. They knew what to ask for as buyers and how to protect ourselves as sellers. They did not shy away from getting their hands dirty with helping us prepare our home to sell as well as helping us get situated at our new house. The process was so smooth that I got a little paranoid that things were too good to be true with how well things were moving along. They demonstrated a great working relationship with their realtor colleagues by the timeliness of responses and the ease of negotiations. Their knowledge of the market and real estate in general was clearly evident. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a realtor."

"....in my favor on the second offer. I am extremely grateful for the urgency in which Brook and Rob worked to put my offer together. Throughout the entire home buying process, I know Brook and Rob had my best interests in mind. After doing my own research and calling for quotes/rates, the inspectors, insurance agents, and mortgage lenders Brook recommended ended up being the most affordable and friendly to work with. Their experience buying and selling homes in the Cedar Rapids area is invaluable and clearly evident. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to work with Brook and Rob. My first time home buying experience was truly stress free as a direct result of their hard work. Without any hesitation, I highly recommend Brook and Rob to anyone. Should I find myself needing to sell/buy another home, there is no question I would want to work with them again!"

"My wife and I were first time home buyers and Rob and Brook walked us through every step of the way and made it as painless as possible. They are extremely nice and caring people and can help you navigate the waters of home buying whether you’re an experienced home buyer or a first time buyer like us. If we ever have to buy a home again they’ll be the first people we call."

"Brook and Rob were our agents for purchasing our new home as well as selling our current home, guiding us through the process. Their expertise in working with inspectors, financial institutions and knowledge of the business assisted us in find and purchase a great home. On their recommendation we completed a pre-sale inspection on our current home, identifying needed repairs, many of which we were able to have corrected prior to the sale. Potential buyers were able to review the report and feel comfortable with the home. Brook and Rob also provided staging of our current home to make it appear comfortable and inviting. As a result, the house sold within two days of listing it for sale, and sold for above the listing price. Brook and Rob were great to work with and we would highly recommend them. (We have already recommended them to many of our friends)."

"Brook and Rob were amazing! We were coming in from out of state and they made the whole home buying process as smooth as could be! They are extremely knowledgeable about the area and we're able to take us on tours of homes via videochat. They always were quick to answer texts, emails and phone calls. They guided us step by step through the entire process and we were able to sign all documents online! I highly recommend the Adkins team!"

"Rob and Brook surpassed our expectations when it came to assisting us in both buying our new home and selling our previous. The two of them make the absolute perfect team and they definitely made our buying and selling experience a very positive one. They ensured that every part of the process went very smoothly and therefore reduced an incredible amount of stress that comes with buying and selling a home. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell!!!"

"I've bought a few houses in my life and for the first time I felt that I had 2 wonderful people truly watching out for me. So attentive and on the ball. I met them for the first time a week ago when we met to view a property. I feel I’ve made lifelong friends. They are friendly & funny and absolutely the best!"

"Brook and Rob were very helpful in every stage of the home buying process. From showing us homes that weren't even our radar, to walking us through every step of the process. My wife and I felt confident following their lead. I would highly recommend Brook and Rob whether you are a first time home-buyer or just in search for new realtors."

"Brook and Rob work their tails off to try and find the property that not only meets, but exceeds the needs and wants of the buyer. They also pour their heart and soul into selling your property as if it were their own. They have a great working knowledge of the entire area and are super easy to work with (in addition to just being wonderful people). We've worked with them on a couple properties and can't recommend these guys enough."

"Brook was our main contact but Rob was there for us too. They helped us prepare our home for showing and immediately started open houses. They had an open house every week until it was sold. They advertised our home on the web along with the MLS listings. They were very good at keeping us informed about what was going on during this time. After our home had a buyer they took care of everything and made sure there were no surprises. The sell went through with no issues. I honestly can not think of anything else I would have wanted Brook or Rob to do. Give them the opportunity you will be glad you did."

"As first time homebuyers using VA, Brook guded us through the process smoothly and efficiently. Brook and Rob used their expertise to make us knowledgeable and responded to all our questions and concerns with professionalism and attention to detail. We would recommend Brook and Rob for all your home buying and selling needs. Having them as our realtors gave us peace of mind and a smooth transition into our new home!"

"I recently was searching for agents to help sell my rental home in Cedar Rapids. I live in the Des Moines area and with the weather we've had the last couple of months, I was not able to attend to all of the winter maintenance needs of the property. Brook and Rob were awesome in making themselves readily available to help with the property and even cleared the icebergs from the driveway! Now, a potential buyer looked at the home before I finished renovations for listing and made an offer I accepted on my own. I didn't get the chance to list with the Adkins Team, but they were still there offering to answer any questions I might have had or to help if the sale fell thru. I cannot iterate how helpful they were with the process. This is a team you can truly trust and rely on...if my family and I ever find our way back to Cedar Rapids, Brook and Rob will be the first phone call I make."

"We could not have asked for better realtors than The Adkins Real Estate Team. Honest, dedicated, and smart this team works very hard to make sure the process is smooth. Although the selling and home buying process can be stressful and difficult, their experience and expertise made the process very streamlined. We could not believe how responsive they were to all of our requests and questions, and their knowledge of the buying and selling process far exceeded our expectations. They understood our needs and worked day and night to get us what we wanted. This team is very talented and you can rest assured that with their many years of experience they 100% will have your back through this process. We cannot say enough about this team. Excellent service from beginning to end and even after closing. We recommend Adkins Real Estate Team to EVERYONE buying or selling."

"Great people to work with, I had just moved to the country when I was introduced to Rob and Brook, they quickly found us a perfect house that was well within our budget. Their no pressure style and process expertise made the buying easy and fun. They negotiated us a great price and constantly saved us money along the way. Lastly even after the deal was completed they couldn't have been more helpful, always quick to answer the phone and provide a friendly answer to my many questions about local utilities."

"Rob and Brook helped me buy my first house and I couldn't be happier with how the process went. They coordinated showings, offers, inspections, estimates and were especially familiar with the financial process to get a purchase contract that met all of my buying objectives. They even gave me a bottle of champagne at the closing! I love the house I bought, and I couldn't have done it without the Adkins team!"

"Going into the home buying process as first time home buyers was more than we bargained for. Although we had read up on the home buying process, we didn't know where to start. I met Brook at an open house and she asked if she could help us get started with the pre approval process. Within a day she had set up an appointment for us with a wonderful loan officer, we were pre approved and ready to find a home. Brook has made this process so easy for us. She has made sure we, as the buyers, are represented well and are protected and educated each step of the way. I appreciate the open communication and that she is always available to answer questions. What makes Brook different than other realtors is that she goes the extra mile to make sure you have a great experience. We not only found our perfect home quickly, but she offered a lot of information about the area, schools, and the special history of the home. If you want to find your dream home, Brook is the realtor for you!"
