Independent Estate Agents in Stirchley, South Birmingham
We’re Tim and Emma, the husband-and-wife team behind Robinson Estates.
An independent family-run estate agency based in the heart of Stirchley. We help buyers and sellers move across South Birmingham, including Kings Heath, Bournville, Cotteridge, Kings Norton and the surrounding areas.
Robinson Estates was created from a simple idea: estate agency should feel more personal, honest and supportive. We wanted to build an agency where customers never felt like “just another number” and where communication, trust and relationships genuinely came first. As a family business, we take a tailored approach to every customer and every property because no two moves, homes or situations are ever the same.
Meet Tim Robinson

His calm approach, honest advice and strong local knowledge have helped build lasting relationships with customers throughout Birmingham.
As one of the familiar local estate agents in Stirchley, Tim is passionate about making the moving process feel straightforward and transparent. He believes good communication and realistic advice are key to achieving successful sales and helping customers feel supported from valuation through to completion.
Meet Emma Robinson
Owner / Director
Emma joined Robinson Estates after a long career in leadership, operations and customer experience management within a large national business. Her background includes strategy, communication, compliance, change management and customer support, bringing a fresh and proactive approach to the traditional estate agency model.
Alongside working within the business, Emma is heavily involved within the South Birmingham community and is passionate about supporting independent businesses, local initiatives and community-led projects. Her focus within Robinson Estates is helping create an estate agency experience that feels approachable, personal and genuinely supportive throughout the selling process.
And of course… our little helpers
As a family-run estate agency, home life and work life naturally overlap from time to time, so we couldn’t finish our About Us page without mentioning our little helpers.
Our daughter and our office pup, Cotton, are both very much part of day-to-day life behind the scenes. Whether it’s popping into the office after school, joining us at local community events, or Cotton making appearances in the shop window and on social media, they both bring a lot of personality to Robinson Estates.
Cotton has become a familiar face to many people passing through Stirchley and definitely enjoys the attention more than either of us do.
Our Ethos
Robinson Estates was built on three beliefs that have guided every sale since the day it opened.
Honesty above all else. Tim will tell you what your home is realistically worth in the current market — not what you want to hear, and not an inflated figure designed to win your instruction. An honest valuation leads to a faster sale at a better price. Flattery leads to a property that sits on the market and goes stale.
Personal service is not a marketing phrase. Every property on our books is managed personally by Tim — from valuation and photography briefing through to negotiating your offer and chasing your solicitors towards completion. You will always know exactly who to call, and that person will always know exactly where your sale stands.
Your result is our reputation. Robinson Estates does not use tie-in contracts. That means Tim has to earn your continued instruction, every single day, by doing the job well. It keeps us honest, it keeps us sharp, and it means that when Tim recommends a course of action, you can trust it comes from experience — not from a need to protect a commission.
Our Promise
A straight valuation. Evidence-based, honest, and grounded in real sales data from your local market — not a number chosen to flatter.
Maximum exposure. Your property listed on Rightmove, and OnTheMarket from day one, with copy written by Tim and presentation advice tailored to your home.
Personal handling. Tim attends or directly manages every viewing. He negotiates every offer. He chases every solicitor. You are never passed on.
Clear communication. Regular updates throughout — not just when there’s good news. If a viewing gives difficult feedback, you’ll hear it promptly and honestly, with Tim’s assessment of what, if anything, to do about it.
No tie-in. You are free to walk away at any point. Tim’s job is to make sure you don’t want to.
