ZillowVERIFIEDBob is an extremely pleasant man to work with and did an awesome job selling our house! He is very knowledgeable and guided us through the home selling process. In addition, Bob charges a flat fee or minimal commission, we paid a 2-1/2% commission on the sale of our house saving us thousands of dollars had we paid the 5% to 7% industry standard.

ZillowVERIFIED Bob was very comfortable to work with on the sale of our home. He is a flat fee service (fee much less than typical realtor) provider that may make someone think he provides less service. Not true. Bob went above and beyond to help me with a problem with buyer. Made the process very pleasant. He is a first rate realtor that I would use again when another opportunity arises.

ZillowVERIFIED Bob was very helpful in us buying our home. He negotiated well for us and then gave us a rebate from his commission. A real win win. He has been there to give us information about all our Real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIED Bob Double is the ultimate real estate professional. Bob works in high gear, middle gear, and low gear. I only observed him in high gear! But, whatever ?gear? that best suits you, he can provide. I have no idea when he sleeps. He represented my home in Bloomington and sold it the very first day! In addition, he actually did find well above my dream home in Indianapolis, to the extent that I wasn?t even dreaming high enough! I wake up smiling =) and go to sleep smiling =). And, sometimes, I think I?m dreaming! To make this experience even better, Bob Double, returned a nice large ?chunk? of money as a REBATE for finding me my new home! This experience is actually a highlight of my life! If you want the best, Bob Double and Value-Net will definitely treat you right! Thank-you, Bob for your patience and expertise!!

ZillowVERIFIED Save Money, Great Service Bob was very responsive and easy to work with. His calm demeanor was helpful during a stressful time. I saved thousands of dollars with his flat rate pricing while still benefiting from his knowledge and expertise. Great service at a reduced price without sacrificing any of the benefits of a traditional agent.

ZillowVERIFIED Bob is very patient and knowledgeable to help us getting a dream house. He is available to answer all questions and concerns even after the sales. We like him as a good friend. If we buy or sale a house, Bob is the realtor we will ask for help. His rebate is awesome and you should ask him about it.

ZillowVERIFIED Bob was a huge help in the selling process! Everything was completed in a timely manner, and he was always available to answer any questions. His clientele was great because the day he listed my house one of his clients searching for a home contacted him immediately. I literally had an offer the day we listed the property.

ZillowVERIFIED We started looking for a home around January 2015 and needed a good realtor since we were first time buyers. We came across tons of great reviews on Bob and decided to get in contact with him to be our realtor. Bob showed us many houses and gave us the advice, resources and information we needed. We started to get discouraged since the housing market was extremely popular in the spring of 2015 and the homes we looked at were going quickly, but Bob kept our spirits up sending us homes listed and remained available to us at all times if we saw something. We eventually found a home in February 2016 in the location we originally wanted and ended up placing an offer on it. Bob walked us through the whole thing start to finish from making the offer, back and forth details with the contract etc., to being there at the official closing. Even after all was said and done Bob is still there for us if we had any questions. Overall great experience with a great realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED Bob is a great resource and asset when purchasing any and all real estate. I have utilized Bob 3 times in the past few years from our primary home, an empty lot for future building and a 5 unit apartment building. Bob asked all the right questions as our agent before closing on both residential and our multi-family purchase.

I had him as my agent helping me buy two houses and sell one of those later. I was very satisfied with his expertise and honesty. I will continue to use his services in the near future. Bob, thanks!

ZillowVERIFIED Bob Double is distinctly different, in a good way, from many real estate agents. He is diligent and knowledgeable, calm and patient. He conveys helpful and necessary information without any hype, flattery or psychological manipulation. He seems to care as much about his client receiving a rebate as he cares about receiving his own commission. His rebate is a much needed innovation in the real estate industry that rewards people who desire to do a lot of the searching themselves rather than have an agent searching for and micro-managing them. We just bought a house with Mr. Double as our Buyers agent and we very highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIED First, we closed in 28 days on a FHA loan - Wow! We received a rebate at closing that helped absorb the costs of moving from Texas. But most of all, it is Bobs no nonsense, straight forward representation that we enjoyed the most. There were no false promises, re-negotiations, or hiccups because Bob was very clear and kept his word. Due to our distance in this move and living out of state, Bob even met some of the contractors and inspectors at the house for us during the pre-closing. When the yard wasnt taken care of prior to closing, Bob stayed after sellers agent to finish the last promise and leave the house move in ready. Highly recommend.

ZillowVERIFIED Mr. Double is a wonderful agent. I could not have gotten through this process without his expterise and knowledge. His patience, guidance and tenacity all came in to play to secure my dream home. We looked at several homes along the way and never once did his enthusiasm waiver. Mr. Double answered each and every question thoroughly and in a manner that was easy to understand. Mr. Double was instrumental in securing my funding, locating a mortgage banker that had recently changed companies. Mr. Double made sure this process was as easy as possible. Choosing Mr. Double as your agent will be the best decision you will make as you start your journey to find your dream home.

ZillowVERIFIED Bob was fantastic. As first time home buyers, we had very little knowledge of what we were doing. Bob was with us the whole way. He happily showed us all sorts of homes at our request that only turned out to be dead ends. When we finally did decide on a house, he walked us through all of the paperwork and was very patient with our lack of knowledge. I highly recommend using Bob.

ZillowVERIFIED I highly recommend Bob Double!We thought we had the best 3 Bedroom Townhome in Batchelor Heights, and likely in all of Bloomington. So we initially tried to sell it ?For Sale By Owner?. But with just a sign in the yard and another at the street corner, and later listings on Craig?s List and IU OneStart, we only had one showing in four months. We contacted several realtors that were recommended to us, and we interviewed three. But none impressed me as being worth 5-6%. Our house is beautiful, we reasoned, and we just needed to be listed in the MLS to generate traffic. Once they see it, it will sell itself. So I googled to find the lowest realtor commission in town. And that is how I found Valu-net Realty and Bob Double. He came across as straight-forward and unassuming and less flashy than the others, but way way way less expensive, and more intelligent too. Our primary fear in listing with Bob, though, was that we would get less service, that traditional realtors had some magic way of generating buyers. But we tried Bob anyway, reasoning that at worst it would only cost us $269 and a little time. We were right about saving on the commission, but our fears were completely unfounded. Bob Double was awesome. I am a 50 year old gender-queer transwoman. He was the best realtor I have ever dealt with. He was conscientious and responsive and worked harder and gave better service than any other realtor. He is not just less expensive; he is a better realtor than his full priced counterparts. With Bob, we had three offers within three weeks and sold our home for more money than we expected. Additionally, because our agreement was not an exclusive right to sell and we did not agree to dual agency, the buyer we chose bought without a realtor and we paid a total commission of $769. That?s $269 to Bob for listing our house; and $500 more to Bob for the contract and paperwork and closing; and no money to any others. Because the buyer found the house on-line without a realtor, we saved the buyer?s broker commission altogether. Bob was respectful at all times. Bob gave intelligent advice. Unlike percentage realtors, Bob did not seem to be serving himself trying to push a decision. We actually sold for more money than one of the other realtors recommended we list for. He also recommended a closing company that provided excellent service and also saved us money. I never sensed that Bob had a conflict of interest or was giving poor advice. I was so happy with Bob that I wished he could represent us in our new home search out of state. But legally he could not. But because of what I learned from Bob, I saved 3% on the other end too. I was actually able to negotiate a deal on a realtor listed property without having a percentage of my offer be applied to the realtor. I highly recommend Bob Double. Selling a home does not take magic. It takes intelligence, dedication and good advice. Bob is the best. In my experience, traditional realtors are not honest. Whether it is his nature or because his contract gives no real incentive for lying, Bob Double is honest and trustworthy. I have never before felt that a realtor was underpaid, but Bob Double makes too little for what he does. He ought to charge more. Through my experience with Bob, I learned a lot and saved a ton of money. I will never pay full price again. I was so pleased with Bob Double that I sent him more money as a gift after the fact. I no longer live in Indiana, but if I did I would always use Bob Double for my real estate transactions.I am immensely pleased with Bob Double, and I give him my highest recommendation!

ZillowVERIFIED We found Bob Double to be very willing, helpful, and patient, as he showed us properties (possibly 30 or 40 houses over more than 2 years), while we searched for a larger home in a limited area of Bloomington that met our specific requirements and budget. After placing our former residence on the market, with Bob representing us, we had an accepted offer very quickly. During the search and the negotiations, Bob proved himself to be readily available, knowledgeable, competent, professional, punctual, honest and dependable. In his communications, he was open and thorough. His opinions are measured, thoughtful and moderate. He has a likable and pleasant personality. We were convinced we could trust him. We are happy that we were able to work with Bob in both buying our new home and selling our condo. We recommend both him as a professional and his companys approach to lower-cost selling and buying real estate.

ZillowVERIFIED Bob is a real estate expert. He offered excellent advice with marketing our property, demonstrated extreme excellence in communication, helped schedule my closing during his vacation, worked for us on weekends, and made us feel as if we were his only clients despite being one of the busiest and most popular realtors in the Monroe County area. Bob is highly skilled in getting things done efficiently, very thoughtful regarding drafting contracts and proposals, and offered an excellent reference for an inspector. He has significant depth of knowledge in the Monroe County real estate marketplace. At his foundation, Bob is a man of strong faith which leads to his humility and honesty. In the realm of money, the best value means getting more bang for your buck than other available options. Our transaction involved over $670,000 of real estate. Thanks to Bobs pricing structure, we kept more money in our pocket than any other agent option in the Southern Indiana real estate market!

ZillowVERIFIED Bob is tenacious and will work with and for you to your advantage. 1 1/2% of most real-estate commissions are wasted on office salaries, overhead, and profit for the owner/managers. Bob will save you that part of the commission, it was over $3000.00 for us! If you value $, use Bob.

Review for Member: Robert (Bob) Double
ZillowVERIFIED Bob helped us to buy a house recently. There are two great things about his services: the quality and the REBATE. Let me start with quality. Bob is very responsive. We were always able to set up appointments on a short notice. Bob took as much time as we needed, he went along with us as we were learning about buying a house. He had a good knowledge of the local market, and he was easy to talk to. I would say that the quality of his services was excellent, and I can strongly recommend it. However, Bobs secret weapon is his rebate program. We all know that agents get a 3% commission each (the buyers and the sellers agent). Bob shares his commission with you right down the middle if you see 10 houses with him, and then subtracts $100 for every additional house you see. We have seen many houses with Bob, much more than 10, but at the end we ended up getting $3000 rebate. Its a great program, and no other agent here at Bloomington does it. All I can tell you, I think it is foolish to go with other agents that do not split their commission with you. Why would one just refuse the money? UPDATE (Apr 2017): We bought with Bob previously, and now we also sold with him. As before, we received great and honest service. Bob was available and helpful. Our buyers inspection found some problems. Bob arranged all the contractors, and got everything taken care of while we moved to another city. I can sincerely recommend Bobs services. Also, ask him about the spread of services he offers. You will not be disappointed, and you may save thousands of dollars on commission, depending on which of his pricing options you go for.

ZillowVERIFIED We just closed on the sale of our house and have been thrilled with Bobs work from Day 1! Bob and Valu-Net Realty are the premier example of how real estate transactions should be done. Bob is low pressure, gives sound advice and reasoning for what works and what doesnt in your market, and is so responsive in all of his communications. Also, we got the best price for our home, and saved about $7,000 at closing, thanks to Bobs way of doing business. We have been involved in several real estate transactions over our lifetimes, and we can say with absolute conviction that Bob is far and away the best real estate professional weve ever had.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I were able to buy our first home thanks to Bobs expertise! He knows the business inside and out, and saved us from making many costly mistakes. He also bolstered our confidence during a long and difficult sale, and was able to arrange for us to make a pre-closing agreement, saving us from getting stuck with a gap between our lease and our mortgage! Thanks to Bob, we can go ahead and have our baby in a lovely new nest of our own! And thanks to his rebate program, our moving costs were covered, and we have a brand-new stove and deep freeze! He was always quick to respond, and knows the Bloomington/Ellettsville area like the back of his hand. Cant say enough good things about Bob Double, he wasnt just a realtor, he is a trustworthy, supportive friend!

ZillowVERIFIED We listed a home with Bobs Valu-net Realty after interviewing several real estate agents. His a la carte services, combined with his non-pushy approach to real estate were the perfect fit for us. Since we were saving money on listing and realtor fees, we were able to ask less for our home. This attracted more interest. Ultimately, we received multiple offers to buy, and accepted a full-price offer after 30 days.

ZillowVERIFIED Bob has been very professional in his handling of the sale of three of our properties up to this time. He has been thorough in describing his services and how they work as well as making sure that all forms and required information is collected and disseminated as required. He has made himself available whenever we needed to ask a question and has always provided an answer to all of our questions on a timely basis. We have known Bob and his family for a number of years and have always had confidence in his abilities, honesty and integrity. This has given us a high degree of trust to his abilities to handle the sale of our properties, past and present.

ZillowVERIFIED We are in the process of selling our house with Bob right now. We have not closed yet. He has been extremely responsive every step of the way. While his services are more geared toward people with a "do it yourself" attitude (with discounted flat fee prices to match) he has always been very generous with his time and has never made us feel as if his clock is ticking. He is patient and explained the process in detail. I would guess that by using his company, we saved aprox $10,000 in realtor fees. We found out about his company through a referral and we would not hesitate to refer our friends to him in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED We have used Bob Double to sell two houses and purchase a third house. Both houses were sold in this very depressed real estate market. We always found Bob to be highly responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. Bob has been innovative in structuring his real estate company to reflect the changing face of real estate. The financial incentives Bob provides to buyers and sellers are a testimony to Bob's grasp of the changing needs of buyers and sellers. We have confidently recommended Bob Double to our family and friends.

ZillowVERIFIED Bob Double is a realtor that every realtor should be like. He is very knowledgable of the area, homes and its details, negotiation and the whole process. He is very patient and never pushes a client to rush into a deal or does not push a property on the client to buy. He is sincere and describes the pros and cons of the house without holding back anything and undertstands his clients needs very clearly. If I were to sell a home, I would use him as my realtor again.

ZillowVERIFIED We've worked with several agents over the years and Bob is simply the best. He is very knowledgeable about the local market and is highly experienced. His responsiveness is unparallaled. He is always ready to help answer questions or schedule visits to prospective homes. He even went out of the way to look out for a rental for us when it appeared that our home search will be a bit delayed. He always has the best interest of his client in mind. In sum, I very highly recommend him.
