Real estate is the lifeblood of Robert’s family. With a father, sister, partner and cousins rooted in real estate careers including residential home sales, property management, and commercial appraisal and development, Robert grew up taking long family drives to view properties throughout Chicago, and participating in vibrant dinner conversations that inevitably turned to Chicago real estate (and still do). With this upbringing, Robert developed an instinctive knowledge about the local market from a young age.
For the past 35 years, Robert has operated a successful real estate business – most recently with Compass Real Estate in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Keller Williams Realty Professionals. Previously, Robert worked with @properties in Chicago.
Robert has earned a reputation as a social media leader in real estate. Illinois Realtor Magazine profiled Robert’s strategy of using social media tools to better communicate with clients. Using numerous web sites and blogs dedicated to real estate, Fort Lauderdale, and South Florida, such as www.sunshineguru.com and www.southfloridahomepro.net, Robert has established a pervasive Internet presence that not only reflects his dedication to Fort Lauderdale real estate, but also provides clients with valuable tips, tricks and insights along the way.
Robert is a member of the REALTORS of Broward, Palm Beaches, and St. Lucie. For a decade, he rode the SMART Ride from Miami to Key West to benefit statewide HIV related agencies. Currently he’s a proud founder of FLOATARAMA, an agency that benefits LGBTQ+ Youth Related Agencies. Robert attended the University of Iowa.
