Why Work With Realty87?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
Our Father passed away in late October 2020 and with both my Sister and myself living in other states, the Pandemic and other challenging factors, disposing of all the home possessions, arranging needed repairs and marketing the property during the holidays and winter, seemed a daunting task for us. Rob and Brook provided extremely sensitive and sense-of-urgency turn-key services beyond our expectations arranging estate sale services, contractors for repairs, staging and even arranging the purchase of a used car. They worked several deals with multiple buyers and we were able to sell the house within just a few months for an above market very good price. They definately know their business, the market and have a full range of resources and experience to deliver creative solutions and a great experience. We would highly recommend Rob and Brook.

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.

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).

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 and its previous owners. A really unique experience that you just don't get with someone not truly familiar with the area. We are very satisfied with the negotiations on the home and the final sale price and conditions Brook was able to secure for us. She has a sharp knowledge of the market, home history and negotiation skills. Brook also has many local connections and will offer, at request, recommendations for the best in town. Brook has gone above and beyond our greatest expectations and we feel lucky to have met and been able to work with her. We can't recommend her enough. If you want to find your dream home and have things done right the first time, Brook is the realtor for you.

During this unprecedented time of the pandemic, life has changed and the way in which business has been conducted has completely changed. The Adkins Real Estate team are the most reliable, efficient and excellent communicators. Brook and Rob were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and responsive as our listing agent. Their professionalism, expertise and excellent interpersonal skills work synergistically to make them a wonderful representative for anyone attempting to purchase or sell a home. I was able to help my parents procure a home virtually through their excellent support and guidance. Yes, I mean “virtually” , from the first call I made inquiring for a listing agent, I just knew that I was heading in the right direction with the right support. As for Rob and Brook, help doesn’t end of the last day of the closing case, but they go over and above to even support you after moving to make sure that you have integrated. Lastly, and most importantly, Brook has treated us with that special touch of making us feel as if we were her only clients seeking a home, while we knew that she was busy working with many other clients as well. There are many more awesome things that makes the Adkins team so unique, but all in all, We highly endorse Brook and Rob.

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.

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 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!

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.

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!

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.
