About Rob
He has spent his entire adult life working with real estate and development projects. The son of a developer from Albany, New York, he purchased his first property in Vermont while still an undergraduate student at the University of Vermont in 1994. After graduating from UVM, he moved to Boston to attend the Northeastern University School of Law. After graduating law school, he practiced real estate law with the nationally recognized law firm of Robinson and Cole LLP. He then returned to Vermont and practiced real estate law with the firm of Paul Frank + Collins P.C. in Burlington.
His passion for real estate extended beyond his legal career to his own personal investment portfolio. During his time as a lawyer, he purchased several multi-family apartment buildings in Burlington. He now owns seventeen properties with approximately 210 tenants in Burlington.
Because of his experience, he is the only real estate broker in Vermont that has sat in every seat at a closing table. He has been a buyer, seller, buyer's broker, seller's broker, buyer's lawyer, seller's lawyer, and a bank's lawyer. This experience gives him a unique perspective not shared by other agents in Vermont.
His experience not only provided him with important skills and knowledge for being a real estate broker, but it also helped to define the mission for Flat Fee Real Estate. During his time as a lawyer, it became apparent to him that the real estate agents were overcharging their clients. Despite the efficiencies created by advances in technology, real estate agents were still charging clients the same amount for their services as they were two decades before. He started Flat Fee Real Estate with the simple mission of saving buyers and sellers of Vermont real estate money. He was confident that the market was yearning for an alternative to the antiquated 6% commission model and that if an agency dared to defy the conventional 6% model that the market would respond.
Their history proves that the market was in fact yearning for an alternative. The Vermont real estate market has embraced their model with open arms and thanks to this their business continues to grow rapidly.
