Rob has always been equal parts left brained and right brained - logical & passionate, with degrees in Finance and English. This serves him well as a Realtor(r) since decisions around buying or selling are both practical and emotional ones. He is patient with his clients but proactive with the market - often a financial planner, more often a psychiatrist. While he is all about market statistics, he also loves the intangibles that really make a house a home. For buyers, he will guide them through the steps of the buying process including explaining financing options, understanding their unique needs and wants, presenting tailored housing options, and negotiating to get the best deal possible. For sellers, he will work to understand their needs and recommend a unique property marketing plan utilizing his professional network of photographers, stagers, and contractors. He will analyze the market in their neighborhood and in Austin overall to determine a pricing strategy which ensures their home will sell on their desired schedule and for top dollar. For investors, he will work to determine their wealth-building strategy, identify properties to include in their portfolio, and negotiate to get the best deal. For relocation clients, he assists clients in all aspects of relocation - from helping to determine which areas of the city are ideal for their unique needs to advising throughout the buying and moving process. Rob began his real estate career in Austin over 15 years ago by investing and building mostly in South Austin's 78704 zip code and earned the distinction as an Austin Energy Green Builder after completing a number of highly rated green homes. In addition to his beloved South Austin, Rob also specializes in Central and East Austin properties. Today he is solely focused on helping his clients buy and sell their own slices of heaven in Austin but is always happy to hand out a remodeling tip or two along the way. Though not an Austin native, he arrived in 1999 to join Austin's live music scene. But after sweating through a handful of bands, album recordings, and performing around Texas and select parts of the US, he now enjoys spending his time with his wife Catherine, two sons Eliot and Wyatt, daughter Isla, and dog Murphy at home in South Austin. He still, however, remains an active (albeit, part-time) member of the live music scene and also enjoys playing golf at Muny or running trails around Austin (and Big Bend).
