Rob and his team were great in the selling and purchase of our home. His knowledge of local county inspection requirements and issues that we took care of preemptively before any inspections were great. He also was upfront and detailed the entire process along the way. I would recommend Rob and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Rob was excellent to work with. I appreciated how straight forward he was with us during the buying process. It was evident to me that our long-term relationship with Rob was far more important to him than just finishing/closing on our house.

We are very pleased with Rob's handling of the sale of our home and also his location of another house quickly for us. Always available when we had questions and gave us experienced help and advice. Good negotiator too. In our opinion, he is the best and we recommend him for help in buying and/or selling without reservation.

I had another agent that I really liked but stumbled upon Rob while on this site. I decided to interview Rob and during that process he really impressed us, enough that we decided to use him rather than the agent I was much more familiar with. My house is sold and I couldn't be happier, Rob did an amazing job in selling my house and did so prior to it even be officially on the market. I could say he did this and did that but I don?t think I would do it justice, the bottom line is he did everything he said he could and more. I would highly recommend Rob to anyone and have actually already done so. If you are reading this my suggestion would be have him over and meet him because I guarantee you won?t be disappointed. Less

We were forced to short-sale our house because of job relocation. Rob and his team handled all of the details masterfully. He knows this business better than any realtor I've ever met. Most of all, he treated us with as much respect and attention that he gives to his customers who are in the market for million dollar homes. He constantly went out of his way to explain things to us so we understood the process step by step. I fear to think what might have happened to us if we would have decided to use a differently Real Estate Professional. He and his team get our highest recommendation! Less

Rob is the kind of guy you meet once and feel like he is an old friend. We were looking for a new home and many of the other realtors we had workers with we're not willing to look in our limited price point. The would only show us homes that meet their requirements.
Rob meet with us on short notice and was willing to look at homes for weeks. Once we found the perfect home he was our rock of confidence as we made every mistake in the book.
I could not recommend Rob more than to say that my next home will have his name on the papers. That much is shire. Less

He gave great recommendations when it came to listing our current home for lease as well as what to look for in our new home. All of the tools he uses are up with modern technology and that made this process very easy. I would highly recommend him to all my family and friends.

Before working with Rob, I would have never considered using an agent as a buyer. However, Rob's exceptional understanding of the market (especially in northern Jefferson County), his incredibly prompt responses, and his guidance throughout the entire purchasing process were paramount to the success of my home purchase.

I was referred to Rob by my uncle after starting to look for my first house. Working with Rob was a great experience. Rob was very familiar with the area I was searching in. Even though I located the house that I eventually purchased, Rob already knew everything about the home as soon as I told him the address. He was always available to answer my questions and was overall very knowledgeable. The house I bought was a short sale and Rob's experience dealing in short sales was very helpful. I have already sent another member of my family to Rob. Less

We have used Rob several times over the last 6 years. Rob is a Master at selling homes. He goes the extra mile throughout the process from professional photography of the home, staging, etc. Both homes Rob listed for us sold in less than 2 weeks in bad markets for top of the market pricing. Rob is also incredible at negotiating during the purchase process. I would highly recommend Rob's services.

We had an offer on our house in the first 3 days on the market and Rob has about as much experience as anyone I know both in Real Estate and construction for that matter. He will sniff out anything wrong with your selling home and buying home before it blind sides you. We were not pressured at all in the buying process, he new what we wanted and in the end we got the best house for our dollar. The whole family gives this agent our highest recommendation.

Rob is a highly professional real estate agent. Without his knowledge and expertise we wouldn't have bought our dream home. The first home we tried to buy was a foreclosure
with with many obstacles. Despite all the problems Rob stayed the professional that he is and tried to close the deal for us. We ended up buying home that he recommended that has so many advantages that i didn't even think about when we started looking for homes. Thanks Rob.

Both Rob and Nancy were terrific to work with. As first time home buyers, they really helped us out with a process you can study, but not really know until you've gone through it. We were very cautious and demanded a lot, and they were both very patient and understanding. I would definitely recommend Rob to anyone moving to or out of the St. Louis metro area.

I found this guy on the internet!! Who does this? Typically, people choose a realtor by recommendation of a friend or relative. My assumption going in was that this was more than likely be one of many realtors I would be dealing with, because who finds the right person the first time? I made the call, we met that same day, and in less than 2 months, I signed on the most fabulous house, in the area I was looking to move to!!! Right away I was impressed with Rob's enthusiasm, communication and professional demeanor. We looked at over 20 houses and with each one, he gave me advice as if he was going to be purchasing the house and moving his own family into it. During the past two months, he consistently demonstrated all of these qualities and more, and I whole heartily endorse him, and would recommend him to anyone! Thanks Rob and Nancy for such a wonderful experience! Less

Great experience. Relocated To St. Louis from NY. Would highly recommend. Rob spent countless hours with us showing us the area, schools and what to look for. After getting to know us better, Rob suggested an area that we ultimately chose. If it wasn't for his listening and learning about what we were looking for we never would have found our landing spot!

We were referred to Rob after making the decision to sell my in-laws residence. He had sold a friend's house quickly in the current market and we needed to do the same. Rob was straight forward with us, which I respect, and we agreed upon having him list our house. Our target was to sell the house in 90 days and we did.... Only took 24. No open houses needed! Ron and his assistant Nancy, were both very attentive in responding to e-mails, texts and calls. I feel our selling process moved very promptly and my in-laws are very appreciative for that. I would definitely refer Rob Shanks for your Real Estate needs. Thank you,

Rob is an excellent realtor. Very knowledgable about the business. I spent two years with another company trying to sell my house and I had more showings in 2 weeks with Rob then I did in both two years with the other company. Rob Shanks really knows how to get the job done/ house sold without sacrificing profits. Pretty hard to do these days. I would and have already recommended him to several people.

Rob is not only a consummate professional in what he does, but also an extremely kind person. He knows the market thoroughly and actually cares about the people he is working with. We were in a difficult situation and needed to sell. Rob made it happen quickly when no one else could. He was frank and open but sensitive to the human beings involved in the transaction. The same can be said for his assistant, Nancy. Saying that they go the extra mile is an understatement. Highly recommended.

Rob was always patient and was never in a hurry when we discussed something, which means he listened to what we asked, and showed that he really cared about us and our experience in selling my mom's home. A previous real estate agent didn't seem to listen, and usually interrupted while we were talking. Rob took care of several of the details for us, to simplify the process....that was a big help! Whenever there was a decision to be made, he outlined the choices, explained the pros and cons of each one, and helped us make an informed decision. I know he is a very busy person, which is a good sign, of course, but he always managed to make my mother and me feel like ours was the only home sale he was working with at the time. I also appreciate the empathy he showed, knowing it was a difficult time for our family after our father passed away, and I know my mother appreciates it, too. Less

My husband and I met Rob Shanks through an online listing for a rental when moving from Indianapolis to St Louis and he was extremely helpful with helping us find a rental home in an unfamiliar area. When our lease was up, we went to him again for a rental, but he had bigger plans! Though we were very hesitant on buying, he made a good argument that the home he wanted to show us would be the best financial option. He picked a listing for us he had just obtained that he knew would be perfect for our situation, but we were still hesitant being new to buying without having done any research. He showed us other homes we found online in order to compare, but they all paled in quality compared to the price of the original home. We finally took the plunge, and though it was an extremely rocky process, none of the fault could be given to Rob Shanks. He was extremely helpful and efficient in his negotiations with the seller as well as giving us advice. All of the vendors he recommended were professional and helpful as well. I am extremely pleased with our decision and excited about the savings we will encounter from not renting anymore! Thanks Rob! David and Crystal Hill Less

We purchased a new construction villa. Rob has been invaluable negotiating with the builder.

Rob and his team helped us through the entire process of selling two homes and buying two homes in a three year period due to unforeseen events. Both homes sold in less than a week on the market! And he was a trooper with my wife and I looking for that perfect house that we wouldn't budge on any of the attributes that we wanted in our home. We found the house we plan to make our home for hopefully 25 years, at least that is what I keep saying to my wife.
We are very gratetful for his honesty and continual support after the sale or purchase through the years. When people complain about there house not selling at my wifes work she tells them two words Rob Shanks. Less

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Rob in 2009 when we used him to list our home. It was sold within a day :) He was also our agent during the same period when we were searching and found our dream home. He was a great negotiator and we were able to get our house at a terrific price.
Rob was always very professional, but he was also someone you could kick back and joke around with. He was always very prompt with returning calls and also would check in with us often.
I have and will continue to refer Rob to our friends and family!! Less

I first me Rob while we were in the process of listing our house for the second time. We had just used an agent for six months with few responses and were considering going the "for sale by owner" route. Rob completely understood our frustration with the process, but wanted us to sit down with him so he could explain his process in selling houses. After meeting with him, we immediately became comfortable with his approach and confidence with meeting our required selling price. After two months on the market, through Rob's knowledge of the local market and connections with those looking for a home, we were not only able to get a contract on our house, but our sale price was higher than what we were asking. We could not be happier with Rob and his team. I would 100% recommend him to anyone selling their house and do so whenever I can. If you want to get your house listed, open the yellow pages, close your eyes and pick a name. If you want an agent that can truly sell your house at a great price, Rob is the person that you want.

Rob Shanks spent months working with me. As a firstime home buyer, I did not understand the process. Rob was patient with me, and explained things in a way I could understand them. Whenever I had a question, Rob responded quickley with an answer.
When it came time to buy, he was there every step of the process, and even checked in on my after the deal was done.
I would recommend Rob to anyone looking for a home!

Rob was a great agent and a great help in my home buying experience. I looked at some 40 homes in 3 months searching for just the right one. On more than one occasion Rob pointed out a few major flaws such as serious foundation cracks in homes I might of bought otherwise. Overall, highly recomend in your next buying or selling journey.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with the five star team for an investment property purchase earlier this year and look forward to working with them again. Rob knows exactly what we want and is always available to take our call. Very knowledgable! Hire Rob and Lynn if you want five star results with a seamless transaction from contract to close!!

Rob's team is very knowledgeable and did a fine job selling our home relatively quickly and near the full asking price. Rob excels in the market analysis of comparable homes, and openly communicates the risks in the process. I would particularly recommend Rob's team for single family homes in the I-55 corridor of St. Louis and Jefferson County.

As first time home buyers, Rob helped to educate and guide us through the process. We looked at many houses and thanks to his help, finally found one that meet our needs and was within our budget. He did a great job of using modern technology and communication to make the process easy and fun for us.

We used Rob to sell our house in Oakville and purchase a new one in Wildwood. He was very helpful with ideas and hints on showing our home to sell. We were able to sell it at a price we were comfortable with in a very rough market. He then, spent many hours with us in the Wildwood area looking at homes. We found a house that we loved, and he was able to negotiate a price that we were very happy with. We still keep in touch with Rob and he is always attentive and responsive to any questions. We highly recommend Rob ... both as a Realtor, and as a friend. Less

Rob & Lynn Shanks are highly skilled professionals and are shining examples of what any home buyer/seller should look for when choosing to enter into a real estate transaction. This is evidenced by my own experience with them, both as a home buyer and home seller. Rob & Lynn assisted my wife and I in the sale of our first home. It was nice to have someone who understood the strains that come along with such a tense transaction. At the same time, we chose to work with Rob & Lynn to help us find a new home. With a growing family, my wife and I chose to build. Rob & Lynn were able to professionally and most of all, effectively, engage in negotiations with the home builder that resulted in us having a gorgeous new home at a price that made us very happy! In a market that has been fairly uncertain in recent years, Rob & Lynn exceed the standard for what it takes to "get it done".
Highly recommended! Less

Rob was very attentive to the details that needed to be improved in order to make my existing house more marketable. Rob also did a lot of the labor himself in making improvements to the house such as painting etc.

My wife and I met Rob Shanks in 2008 when we were thinking of selling our house and were driving around looking at other homes. We actually looked at a house that Rob had listed and he then showed us another house. He was very helpful and responsive to all of our questions and concerns. That next spring we went on the market and sold our house by summer. Rob was very helful in bringing in potential buyers, selling our home and negotiating a great deal on our new home. Through our contact as agent/client, I am proud to consider Rob and his wife my friends and real estate agent. Less

I transferred from MS to St. Peters, MO for my job. In the process of looking at homes online, I came across Heather. Once we started communicating about properties Heather was immediately helpful and responsive to my needs. She definitely stood out amongst all the agents that were trying to help me. She is simultaneously tenacious and kind. I would definitely use her services for any of my future real estate needs.
