Margie Robinson, GRI
Owner of CENTURY 21 The Professional Group

In 1977, the Robinson family moved to Storm Lake, Iowa. It was a tough job finding a home. No one was interested in renting to a young family with kids and pets. The Realtor I worked with showed us the only 3 houses in our price range. We were unaware other realtors might have had other homes listed in our price range. There was no multiple listing service. My husband and I were discouraged, so we bought the "lesser of the 3 evils".

After settling into our new home, I started job hunting and noticed an ad - WANTED: REAL ESTATE AGENT, WILL TRAIN. Remembering our experience in moving, I said "there must be an easier way" for people to find a place to live. And the rest is history!
After obtaining my Real Estate Sales License, I worked for another company for a short time before joining the Wyatt Yon Agency as a sales associate.

Based on a need I knew first hand, I helped establish the Storm Lake Board of Realtors and Multiple Listing Service.

Establishing a reputation for helping first time home buyers helped to build a large clientele of repeat buyers and sellers. It is a great satisfaction to be recommended to the children of some of my first customers, as well as to their family and friends.

In 1986, the agency purchased a CENTURY 21 franchise and became known as CENTURY 21 Wyatt Yon Realty.

After managing the CENTURY 21 Wyatt Yon Agency for several years, I purchased the company from Wyatt Yon in May of 1998, maintaining the same location and same quality service.

In August of 1999 we moved to a new location which provides more exposure, easier access, better parking for our clients and larger office space for our staff. The name was changed to CENTURY 21 The Professional Group to better reflect the type of service we strive to provide.

I am a member of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATON OF REALTORS, IOWA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS and THE UNITIED COUNTIES BOARD OF REALTORS. I've served as our local multiple listing service chairperson, as chairperson for the Regional Professional Standards Committee and also held the positions of president, secretary and treasurer for the Storm Lake Board of Realtors and the United Counties Board of Realtors. I am a board member for Faith Hope & Charity, and the Storm Lake Chamber of Commerce, Storm Lake Ambassadors, Wa-tan-ye and Business and Professional Women.

Over the years, I've been deeply involved in volunteer work for the Storm Lake community. In 1996 I received the Storm Lake Chamber of Commerce Salute to Women Award for Community Involvement. In 1999 I was awarded the Sam Walton Business Leader Award, which is awarded for Service to the customer, respect for the individual and striving for excellence.

When I am not working, I enjoy travelling, being outside, spending time with my grandchildren, painting (walls) and papering.
