Success Stories

“I've known Robert Crook on both a personal and professional basis for over 5 years. Robert is a man that I respect. He is a hardworking man of character. He raises the bar for others in his profession. I would trust Robert to handle any real estate transaction on my behalf. When Robert lists our properties for sale or lease, I stop worrying and move on to other tasks, because he will work on the listing like a brother would.”

– Price Hightower | CCIM, President of Tower Homes

“Our building had been listed off and on for about five years, with little traffic, and next to no meaningful offers, when we met Robert Crook in the Fall 2017. Within weeks of retaining him, we had more traffic through the building than in the prior years combined, had a meaningful offer and were under contract within ninety days. Robert is the consummate professional but, of greater significance in our estimation, he is passionate about both his craft and our City. These characteristics meld together resulting in an energetic, responsive and effective professional who yields outstanding results for his clients. He has our unequivocal recommendation.”
