Rob and Brook Adkins

Adkins Real Estate Team
License #:
d In the State of IA

As agents who's are experts in this local area, we bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. We are eager to serve you. Here are some of the things we can do for you:

Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! We can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home

Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. We can take care of everything you need, from start to close.

Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. We can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.

"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 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!"

"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."

"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!"

3 REASONS TO CHOOSE A REALTOR® WITH THE CRS DESIGNATION


When you’re choosing a REALTOR® to help with buying or selling a home, I encourage you to choose one with the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation. Here are three important reasons:


More Training
CRS is the highest professional designation awarded to REALTORS® in the residential sales field. REALTORS® who want to apply for the CRS designation must undertake between 16 and 80 credit hours of additional training beyond what was required simply to become licensed. Coursework ranges from listing strategies to financing solutions to utilizing technology to serve clients. Out of more than 1 million REALTORS®, only 4% (1 in 25) are Certified Residential Specialists. REALTORS® who are willing to devote time to this additional education – and the continuing education required to maintain the designation – are serious about their business and providing the very best knowledge and skills to their clients.


More Experience
Applicants for the CRS designation must have 25-150 transactions. No dabblers or dilettantes here! This requirement is evidence that your Certified Residential Specialist is capable of applying his or her education in the real world and giving you the service and results you expect. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, there are financial risks, legal risks, even the risk that a home purchase or sale will fall through. A Certified Residential Specialist has both the training and the experience to help you avoid and minimize those risks.


Higher Standards
Ethics are essential in a REALTOR®. Every Certified Residential Specialist is required to maintain membership in the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and to abide by its industry-defining Code of Ethics. When you work with a Certified Residential Specialist, you can be sure you’ll be dealt with in a fair and professional manner at every stage in the process.
You’d think that using a REALTOR® with the CRS designation would cost more than using one without it…but it doesn’t. In fact, the skills and know-how you get with a Certified Residential Specialist will likely save you time, money, and worry.


I am proud to be among the 4% of REALTORS®
who have earned the CRS designation. I would
be honored to put my knowledge, skills, and
experience to work for you!
