A.G Robins & Company Ltd., Brokerage

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT.

Good things come in small packages! We focus on quality over quantity. The opposite of a large, corporate real estate brokerage with hundreds of agents, we pride ourselves on a more tailored, intimate approach with our clients. A strong team of experienced real estate professionals (no rookie's here!) offering concierge-style services in the Niagara region. 

With over 55 years as a family-owned boutique brokerage, led by Broker of Record Kristyn Robins, we have a special focus Niagara residential, farm, resort properties, and waterfront homes. Consistently delivering personalized and dedicated service to our clients with all the modern day touches.

It All Began With Al.

A.G Robins & Company Ltd., locally known as "Robins Real Estate" began in 1969 in Wainfleet, Ontario founded by prominent local Broker Alan Robins. 

Born and raised in Wainfleet, Al established himself into the "go-to" Realtor in the Niagara, Haldimand and surrounding area, particularly with farm land, residential and waterfront properties.

Not only did this niche market set him apart, but his friendly and warm approach to Niagara Real Estate made him a favourite amongst locals and visitors alike.   

His daughter Kristyn starting apprenticing under her Father, Al, upon graduating from the University of Guelph. Unfortunately, in 2014, after complaining of a dull pain in his abdomen, Al was diagnosed with terminal Pancreatic cancer and given only 3 months to live.  


Al didn't want to talk about his illness, so they talked about real estate. In that time, Al taught Kristyn everything he knew about the local real estate market, and after a very brief and unfair battle, Al passed away with his family by his side.  Since 2015, Kristyn Robins officially took over the family business and brokerage.

For over 55 years we have been a family owned, 'boutique brokerage' giving our clients a more tailored, personal approach during their real estate endeavours.

Proudly family owned, women-run and 100% Canadian, we pride ourselves on giving our clients top level service, professional advice and down-to-earth competent real estate service while still staying cutting edge with marketing, negotiation and market advancements!

Here, you aren't just a number.  Contact us today to inquire about your Real Estate needs, as we look forward to our mutual success!

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING LOCAL, THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING CANADIAN!
