Hi, I'm Robert Krause

My path to real estate has been anything but traditional—and I believe that's exactly what makes me valuable to my clients.

After graduating from Patrick Henry High School, I earned my degree in Communication Studies from James Madison University. But before diving into corporate America, I spent several years living and serving in Central and Eastern Africa as a missionary, helping mission and relief organizations build up and equip local leaders. This experience taught me the importance of truly listening to people and understanding their unique needs—skills I carry into every client relationship today.

I went on to earn a Master's in Global Leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary, and later an MBA while working at Apple Inc. as a Senior Business Analyst. At Apple, I honed my skills in data analysis, market research, and strategic decision-making.

For over a decade, I worked alongside realtors, helping them market their listings through photography, video tours, social media, and print materials. I saw firsthand what works—and what doesn't—when it comes to selling homes.

The moment everything clicked? I was walking through a home that would be perfect for a friend I'd been talking to about buying. I realized I could do more than help market homes—I could directly help the people I care about find and love their homes, and strategically sell when the time comes.

What Sets Me Apart

• Marketing Expertise: Over a decade of experience in real estate photography, staging, video tours, and social media means your listing gets maximum exposure.
• Data-Driven Strategy: My Fortune 500 analytical background means every recommendation is backed by market data, not guesswork.
• Clear Communication: With a degree in Communication Studies and years of client-facing work, I make it a point to keep you informed at every step so you always feel in control.
• Local Knowledge: As a Roanoke native who chose to raise my family here, I know these neighborhoods intimately.

I'm proud to be affiliated with Long & Foster Realtors, one of the largest independent real estate companies in the nation. This partnership gives my clients access to extensive resources while maintaining the personalized service of working with a dedicated agent.
