testimonials
"...They walked me through the entire process, thought of things I wouldn't have as an inexperienced buyer, and were always on the ball when it came to the next steps. They were readily available to answer questions or process documents in a timely manner. I am so glad that Abbey and her team were a part of this experience, and I would recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home!" - Rochelle, Des Moines (Buyer)
"Our friend /neighbor was very pleased with Abbey Robertson and recommended her.
The excellent rating of Abbey says it best!! She kept us up to date when showings were scheduled plus feedback afterward. We received regular updates on marketing efforts and results. Abbey used an easy system for signing documents. We loved her sunny disposition. She was great to work with and we would definitely recommend her!" - Pat + Dave, Ankeny (Seller)
"We knew going into selling our house there was no one other than Abbey we would trust!
Abbey made selling our first home super easy. We always knew she would quickly and accurately answer any questions." - Laura, Des Moines (Seller)
-
“Abbey was by our side the whole way. She wasn't afraid to be honest yet kind in telling us what we needed to do to prep our home for sale. Her advice was spot on. We received an offer less than 24 hours after listing it. Abbey was accessible, willing to talk through our questions and concerns and was truly an advocate for us. I would recommend Abbey to anyone who wants a realtor. We have worked with other agents in years past and our experience with Abbey surpassed all expectations.”
-
“Abbey Robertson was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was incredibly knowledgeable about every step of the process, helped set our expectations properly, communicated promptly and effectively, and overall did an excellent job. She went above and beyond several times in the buying of our current house and selling of our old one. Couldn't have found the home we did without someone of her caliber, and my wife and I are both very grateful. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking in the Des Moines area without hesitation.”
-
“Abbey Robertson was really helpful in buying our first home. She walked us through the process and helped us to see our dream home last minute one evening. She helped us provide a strong offer and helped us negotiate necessary items throughout the process and had our back when the builders resisted in order to get our desired outcome. She made it a great process!”
-
“My wife and I were planning to spend our retirement years in the Iowa City home we lived in for almost 40 years, but the vagaries of life had other plans, and we found ourselves looking for a new home in the Des Moines metro area. We contacted Abbey Robertson because she had helped our son and his family recently relocate there. Abbey patiently worked with us to define and refine what we wanted in a new home and was always willing to arrange for showings of prospective properties, a process that took several months. Once we had our bid accepted on our future home in Urbandale, she stayed with us all the way through closing. It would be a pleasure to recommend Abbey’s services to others.”
-
“Abbey is the best. She thinks of every detail, is responsive and always represents our best interests. She is so good at what she does.”
-
“My husband and I enjoyed working with Abbey Robertson on finding the home suitable for us. She made herself available and was straightforward and at the same time very kind with her findings during the showings. Abbey Robertson has many years of experience as a real estate agent that is unvaluable. We thank her for her time working with us. We are very satisfied with the home we bought.”
-
“Abbey was recommended to us by a colleague and she was an absolute gem to work with! We met with her early on prior to even knowing if we were going to move forward with buying a house. She was supportive and guided us to resources to help us determine if we were ready. Ultimately when we decided to make the purchase she was with us every step of the way and had excellent communication on next steps and what to expect for a smooth close. She was available for questions and was very thoughtful with her housewarming gift. Our dog is loving her treats!”
-
“Working with Abbey was like working with a trusted friend. Being new to the area it was really important to work with someone we were comfortable with. Abbey took the time to get to know us and our preferences. She was very knowledgeable about the area and gave helpful advice. I truly appreciate Abbey asking us if we were making a decision based on fear or faith. I was going down a path of making a decision based on fear and this made me step back and think a bit. Shortly after we were able to find our dream house. She encouraged us to keep going and that the right one would emerge and she was right! We are truly grateful for meeting Abbey and will recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.”
-
“I would hire Abbey Robertson to sell property for me a hundred times over!! She is respectful, efficient, professional, and a wonderful communicator! Abbey made our selling experience well informed and much less stressful than it can sometimes be. We loved the communications about: "Here's where we are now, and what to expect next." We didn't have any unpleasant experiences due to Abbey's planning and forethought. We appreciated Abbey's assistance in walking us through this process hand-in-hand. Everything went very smoothly!!! Abbey rocks!!!”
-
“Abbey listened to our needs and unique situation from the very start-- we were looking for a home while living 2 hours out of town and were shopping 8 months in advance. She never made us feel like our wants and needs were too exhaustive; she represented as a dual agent and was fair, trustworthy and reasonable at all times. We felt well represented and, really, she made our dream home and timeline a reality by negotiating and giving us fair and honest council throughout our viewing, offer, and final purchase. We will recommend her to anyone needing a real estate agent in the future!”
-
“We were moving to the area from out of town. Abbey's knowledge of the area, builders, and options were a huge relief to me and my family. There were instances when time was critical and she was always available to talk or run scenarios by. We purchased over spring break and although she had left town for family, we were set up with others who could fill in as needed. (Although she even responded to while on vacation!) We also have parents who are moving to the area and we recommended her to them. She has continued her patience, professionalism, and realism to them. I would recommend Abbey to anybody who is moving to the area, it is easy to see that she cares about finding the right house, and setting her clients up for future success.”
-
“We enjoyed working with Abbey and her team. She was effective, trustworthy, and communicative about each step along the way and exactly what was needed from us at each step. We sold our late parents' home much quicker than what we anticipated. If I would ever sell my condo, I will definitely use her as my realtor. Thank you so much!!!! Side note-her marketing team supplies her with some really good cookies!!! We'd like to know where we can obtain some. =)”
-
“Abbey was tasked with selling our parents house and our childhood home. We had considered another agent, but after meeting Abbey, we knew she was the perfect fit. She listened to our needs with compassion, empathy and professionalism. She priced, marketed and represented the sale better than we could have ever hoped. Throughout the process she was attentive, communicative and beyond helpful. Abbey was able to meet all of our selling objectives. But most importantly, made us comfortable throughout the process.”
-
“Abbey was thorough, prompt, courteous, very knowledgeable, and responsive! I have been bragging about and recommending her to all of my colleagues! She certainly made up for bad previous realtor experiences.”
-
“Moving from out of state it was very helpful to work with someone with great knowledge of the area. She kept us informed every step of the process. Her team was also excellent and great to work with”
-
“We sort of stumbled upon our ideal property and Abbey was the listing agent. We were not prepared to purchase a property as we were not looking at the time and didn't even have a realtor to represent us. Abbey was so kind and helpful before, during and after our showing. When it was time to list our property, she gave us clear expectations and worked with us to maximize our space before photos were taken. I especially appreciated the daily communication and check-ins throughout the process. Abbey is a wealth of knowledge and her team's attention to detail is unmatched. Abbey made daunting, and at times, seemingly impossible a reality. If it weren't for her patience and guidance, we would not own our dream home today.”
-
“Abbey was great to work with. We couldn't have asked for a better agent to have picked up the phone when we cold called her out of the blue on this property. Abbey was always available for a call if we had questions; we had plenty! She was really responsive with text and email as well which was very appreciated. Her willingness to schedule multiple showings for the acreage on short notice was huge for us. Thank you Abbey!”
-
“Abbey Robertson was amazing to work with in purchasing a house. She was very customer-service oriented and professional. Abbey listened to what I was looking for in a house and was available to setup viewings of houses. She was knowledgeable about the housing market in the metro area. Abbey was extremely helpful during the entire process and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend Abbey Robertson!”
-
“When we had such an amazing buying experience we knew we had to have Abbey again. She helped us price competitively especially with our house having a more niche market. She also was very honest that the market at the time wasn't hot and our house could be on longer than expected. She was always available to talk when we had concerns and worked with our crazy schedule. She has extensive knowledge and experience from her career time in the industry, and used many resources to ensure best quality. I have also touched on this before, but her personality is genuine and fun which made a could be stressful process something we looked forward to delving alongside with her. We really felt like a dream team! We found ourselves telling others about her when any real estate topics came up among our circle of people. We would recommend her again and again!”
-
“Abbey was incredibly helpful in our moving process. She negotiated a great deal for us and guided us through every step of the process. We appreciate the personal touch she provided which helped make a stressful endeavor much easier and pleasant. We would definitely recommend her to anyone.”

“Abbey was amazing to work with! She is super flexible and goes above and beyond to help you find the perfect home for you and your family! I would definitely work with her again if I ever need to and would recommend her solely based on she knows what she is doing and is so amazing at communicating with you along with all the other things she does behind the scenes! She is truly the best!!!”

-
“Working with Abbey was such a great experience. Having someone who was knowledgeable of the area was a top priority and Abbey was perfect for the job. She made sure our needs were met and listened to our requests. When it came time to put in an offer and close the deal, she helped through every step paying attention to all the minor details we may have skipped over without her. She was great to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking in the area. She's the real deal.”
-
“I was nervous going into this home selling process, as I had never been through it and our situation was unique. Even with me moving out of state during the process, Abbey and her team were amazing, communicative and helped make the process painless. I am so appreciative of everything they did to ensure we were fully aware of all needs and steps and will happily recommend her to anyone that needs an expert agent in the future! Thank you so much!”

“Abbey Robertson is the consumate professional, and more than that, she is a good human being with perspective on what is important. As our agent she not only represented our financial interests in what she did on our behalf; she also represented our values in how she approached the work, treating others with respect and dignity even under challenging circumstances. We would highly recommend Abbey as an all-around professional agent.”

-

She was responsive to our communications, highly knowledgeable about all aspects of the process, impressed us with her attention to details, and we always knew she had our best interests in mind. She maintained a high degree of professionalism while also being encouraging and friendly. We would recommend Abbey 100% to anyone looking for a realtor who knows their stuff and is willing to help you have a very positive real estate experience.”
-
“We are beyond greatful that we had Abbey Robertson by our side throughout our house hunting journey. It took a while for us to find just what we were looking for but Abbey was by our side with patience and grace through it all. She guided us through listing our current home on the market which helped it to sell quick. When we finally found the perfect home for our family she went above and beyond on our behalf to ensure that we got everthing we wanted. We couldn't be happier with how smooth she made this process for us. Abbey's knowlege, compassion, and ability to advocate for her clients is unlike anything we have experienced before. We would highly recommend her to anyone we know. Thank you Abbey and your team!!!”
-
“She was everything we wanted out of a realtor: completely trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and even incredibly friendly. We couldn't recommend her enough!”
-
“Abbey helped guide us through every aspect from finding the house the moment it hit the market to the offer and the closing. She was so much fun to work with, so professional, and very knowledgeable. We have recommended her to several people already and will continue to do so.”
-
“From beginning to end, working with Abbey has been a joy. She is so knowledgeable, professional, friendly and fun! Just the best!”
-
“She was incredibly helpful, informative, and easy to work with! We couldn't recommend her enough. As the cherry on top she sold our house in record time!”
-
“Abbey Robertson is one of the best realtors that I've ever worked with! She is very knowledgable, meticulous, communicative, but most importantly, she hears me and understands my circumstances. I bought a property through her care, and being an out-of-state buyer, I am very wary and anxious. Abbey and her team, however, provided the practical knowledge and expertise that I needed from a local Iowa realtor, while maintaining a very humane approach; she made me feel like a client that needed her services, and not just an opportunity to make a sale. She made it clear that we are going to work together for as long as it takes to get the home that I want, but as it turns out, it did not take that long after all! If you are looking to buy or sell a home, do yourselves a favor and contact Abbey Robertson! I wish Abbey and her team more success in the future!”
-
“Abbey's expertise and knowledge definitely played a part working with her. I followed her suggestions in almost every detail and it worked well. The price she suggested attracted buyers and provided multiple offers that got me my desired outcome. She used a professional to stage the house and when I first saw it my reaction was "wow!" I would definitely work with Abbey again.”
-
“I honestly never considered anyone else. Abbey's proven track record combined with her true interest in our needs and expertise are unmatched. Her personality and caring nature cannot be overstated. I really liked the video Abbey created to sell our home. Selling a home is a stressful experience. Abbey did everything in her power to minimize our stress. She helped us prep our house for the sale and I have no doubt that her suggestions improved the value of our home to prospective buyers. She is simply the best!”
-
“We used Abbey Robertson with Century 21 Signature Real Estate when we arrived in Iowa just under three years ago and when we left Iowa recently. Between our first and second transactions with Abbey, I recommended her to several friends and all were completely satisfied. She is a consummate professional and immensely knowledgeable. She was a great consultant on both the purchase and the sale.”
-
“Abbey and her team were wonderful to work with! I was purchasing my first home from out of state after a couple of visits to the area, so having a realtor with great knowledge of the area was very important to me. In my first conversation with Abbey it was clear that she had that knowledge. She took plenty of time to get to know me and understand what was important in my home search. She then was able to on the spot provide areas of town that would work best for me and even provide ideas on good areas for running because that was an important thing for me. To start my home hunt Abbey provided a great overview of the whole process. This was very beneficial so I knew what was coming up and each part of the process was less scary because of that knowledge. I was amazed how much time she was able to take to work with me and view houses. After a long day viewing many homes, I had found a home I wanted to make an offer on. My family and I left to get some food. During that time Abbey and Stacey couldn't have taken more than a 5 minute break! By the time we were done with lunch and returned to the office they had a bunch of paperwork ready to go and a nice packet of comparable homes to help make the offer. While making the offer Abbey was able to put in some important stipulations that I would have never thought of that alleviated the only concerns I had about the house. Abbey continued to be there guiding for every step from inspection to closing. She had contacts for everything I needed and then some. During the process the selling agent was frequently slow to respond, but I never had to worry because Abbey was always staying on top of things. The whole process was very smooth thanks to her hard work. I really can't express just how helpful she was during the whole process. I would highly recommend Abbey to anyone buying or selling a home. She will work tirelessly for you and is one of the nicest people you'll ever work with!”
-
“Abbey was like family after working with her. She's top notch. Works hard. Always available. Accountable and direct. She came recommended by friends and I'd recommend her again and again.”
-
“Abbey is a fantastic real estate agent and a very nice person to work with! She is always available to answer questions and to help with unexpected findings/events. She is thorough and detail-oriented, but also upbeat and a fun person to be around! Abbey helped me sell my house in Waukee October of 2022. She did a fantastic job and helped us to quickly sell the house in spite of a declining housing market. When I needed to unexpectedly sell my next house in July/August 2023, I never considered another agent. Abbey helped us to sell the house in less than a week, even though she was on vacation! I would never consider any other agent.”
-
“Abbey is professional and very attentive to all details. She is a great listener and keeps in contact during the whole real estate transaction. Abbey helps ease the "jitters" of making a home purchase. It was such a pleasure working with Abbey during this important transition in our lives.”
-
“Abbey helped us determine the perfect sales price for our home and because of that we sold our home, at asking price, in 48 hours. Abbey handled every aspect of the sale of our home. She was easily accessible and communicated with us every step of the way. Abbey is extremely knowledgeable about the market. Our overall experience with Abbey and Century 21 was extremely positive. Abbey spent hours with us helping us stage our home before it went on the market. This is another reason I believe our home sold so quickly. Abbey provided us with helpful checklists and kept us informed of each step in the process of selling our home. Her expertise was invaluable!”
-
“Abbey Robertson was wonderful. She guided us through the entire buying process and answered all of our questions. Abbey was available to us at all times. She was easy to talk to and always listened to our needs and concerns. She is extremely knowledgeable about the market and properties in the area. The whole experience was virtually seamless and exceeded our expectations!! Abbey Robertson is amazing and we will recommend her, and Century 21, to all of our friends.”
-
“Abbey Robertson did an amazing job with the whole process of purchasing our new home. Her excellent advice and patience is second to none! She was able to provide excellent guidance during a tricky subject to sale purchase, which went smoother than we ever expected. She goes above and beyond any other realtors we've encountered and we recommend her to everyone we know.”
