DO THE right thing live and give, TO DELIBERATELY WITHOUT HESITATION, AS “LIFE” HAPPENS
2
2018 marked our 72nd year in the real estate business. Throughout the course of the year, I found myself constantly reminded of the significance of such an accomplishment. It is clear that the same sacrifice and commitment demonstrated by our founders in the family garage in 1946 is also the reason Roberts Brothers continues to lead the market today.
Our competitive advantage lies in the fact that our sales associates have preserved the most recognizable real estate brand in South Alabama and engrained professionalism and integrity into our company culture. These, and other core values, are demonstrated at each of our 5 offices each and every day.
As our industry continues to adapt, we look forward to continuing to embrace change and exploring new ways of achieving our ultimate goal: to provide an exceptional home buying and selling experience.
On behalf of our team, I thank you for visiting RobertsBrothers.com and look forward to continuing to serve you for another 72 years!
Daniel A. Dennis, IV CEO, Roberts Brothers, Inc.
