Our story begins in hospitality, where we learned that the smallest details often make the biggest impact on how people feel.
We met when Robyn was in college studying hospitality and tourism and I was apprenticing as a pastry chef. We started dating while I was working as a Pastry Chef and she was completing her hotel management internship.
We married in 1994 and chased opportunity across Sedona, AZ; Antigua, WI.; Denver, CO; and San Antonio, TX. We loved our work—training teams, crafting menus, and orchestrating banquets for thousands—but the industry demanded 16-hour days, holidays on the job, and far too many days without sunlight. We kept telling ourselves we’d start a family“in five years,” and somehow five became fourteen. One day we realized we were running out of “someday.” We didn’t just want to have children; we wanted to be present for them. Something had to change.
Real estate had been our side project—flipping and reselling homes—so when I earned my license in 2002, it felt like a natural next step. My first broker pushed manipulative tactics I couldn’t stomach. When I said I wanted to build a business on integrity, he smirked, “You’ll starve.” I left. He couldn’t have been more wrong. I partnered with a loan officer and we built a business grounded in transparency and genuine care. In our first year, we thrived, and I learned a lesson that still guides us today: when you care more about people than the paycheck, the paycheck takes care of itself.
By my second year, Robyn left hospitality and joined me, and her exceptional service instincts elevated everything we did.
In 2007, we welcomed our daughter, Riley. She grew up alongside our business, tagging along to listings and showings, learning the industry from the inside out. Watching her head off to college and chart her own course fills us with pride. Away from work, we enjoy golfing, spending time with family and friends, and traveling. Service remains at our core—I serve as President of our Rotary Club, helping raise fundsfor organizations that support women and children who’ve suffered abuse. It keeps us grounded in what truly matters.
More than twenty years after taking the leap into real estate, every decision we make is guided by one principle: integrity above all else. We gravitate toward people who value honesty and high standards, and we put our clients’ needs first. Helping families reach their goals while staying true to our values has made this journey more rewarding than we ever imagined, and we’re proud of the reputation we’ve earned.
We operate with professionalism, follow the best practices of our industry, and hold ourselves—and thec ontractors we hire—to high standards. If we make a mistake, we own it. We’ve built strong systems and processes to create a seamless experience, double-checking every box and detail to prevent hiccups. We collaborate only with ethical professionals who deliver top-quality service, maintaining a trusted network of vendors and home service providers.
Our management style keeps projects organized, efficient, and on schedule so our clients avoid delays and unnecessary stress. Punctuality and reliability are non-negotiable for us. We negotiate honestly and aim for win-win outcomes, which has earned us the respect of clients and fellow agents alike. We’re rooted in transparency and a genuine commitment to helping others.
Ultimately, our goal is simple: to deliver excellence through smooth, stress-free transactions and the highest level of professionalism. We’re grateful to count you as part of our story, and we’re here whenever you need us—whether it’s a quick question, a trusted referral, or a conversation about what comes next.
Sincerely,
Kevin Cooper
