With a deep-rooted commitment to Spencer and the Iowa Great Lakes area. Bob has a keen eye for the potential in every property and brings a unique blend of local expertise and creative vision to Bates Realty. As the Broker and Owner of Bates Realty, LLC, with experience as an agent since 2016 and broker since 2019, Bob has established a reputation for excellence, guided by the principles of integrity, growth, and the belief that every house has the potential to become a dream home.

A Visionary Approach to Real Estate

What sets Bob apart is his ability to see beyond the current footprint of a house. Whether you are a seller looking to highlight your home’s best features or a buyer trying to visualize a new layout, Bob’s construction experience and interest in architectural potential is a significant asset. He frequently helps clients imagine how removing a wall, widening a doorway, or squaring off an archway can transform a traditional space into a modern sanctuary.

Local Expertise, Professional Marketing

Bob’s approach to marketing is as sophisticated as the properties he represents. His background in valuation and his meticulous attention to detail ensure that every property is positioned accurately in the Spencer and surrounding market to achieve the best possible results for his clients.

Beyond the Closing Table

When he isn't navigating the nuances of the Northwest Iowa real estate market, Bob is likely enjoying the best of what Iowa’s outdoors has to offer. He finds his greatest relaxation in Construction, Landscaping, Professional Photography, Kayaking and all outdoor activities. Bob is also an FAA licensed Aircraft Pilot, drone operator and a Registered Nurse.

Whether you’re buying your first home or looking for your next investment in Northwest Iowa, I’m here to help you see the possibilities and turn them into reality.
