Welcome to the Nest!

We are family.

Our signature bird logo is fashioned after a glass statue. A gift from Susan Robins to her son (and our Founder), Joe Robins, while she was losing her battle with cancer in 2020. The bird represents love, hope, and freedom.

At MFR, we fly free. We fly outside the confines of corporate brokerages and their SOPs. We are free to make - and remake - our goals, thinking beyond any arbitrary box.

If you, or your colleagues, are considering an addition to your portfolio, or perhaps ready to find your current property a new owner - we like to say, Give ‘Em the Bird!

Core Values

  • Love where you live and treat where you live with love. We prioritize being active participants and making a meaningful impact where we build our nests.

  • What is community without connection? Open lines of communication, clarity, and building something great together is how we operate.

  • Nothing really grows, or becomes great, without commitment. We are committed to not only providing first class real estate services, but connecting with our communities to make a positive impact in our neighborhood.
