With over 20 year's experience in Fairfield County real estate, Rob has seen both the market's high and low points. His approach to his clients has remained the same. Survey the market daily to understand where it is trending, work with a limited number of seller and buyer clients to give them the best possible service, and establish a rapport of openness and honesty.
Before entering real estate, Rob obtained a B.A. in Political Science from Washington University in St. Louis. His interest in International affairs led him to a two year stint in Cameroon serving as a Peace Corps volunteer. That experience led to a renewed interest in photography followed by photo courses at Parsons School of Design and the School for Visual Arts upon his return. After working as a photographer’s assistant for 3 years he went out on his own worked as a Commercial photographer in both New York and Paris, France. While in Paris, Rob also chaired the photography department of Parson's School of Design Paris branch, and owned a successful restaurant called The Manhattan Delicatessen.
Inspired by his maternal grandfather (who had owned his own real estate company in Manhattan), Rob decided to pursue real estate upon returning to the United States. Before coming to The Riverside Realty Group, he worked at Coldwell Banker Residential where he attained the International Elite Agent level, placing him among the top 1% of Coldwell Banker agents nationwide. He has served as the Chairman of the Technology Committee for the Mid-Fairfield Board of Realtors and as its representative on a state level.
On his business philosophy: "I believe in old-fashioned values: honesty, integrity, and availability. I pride myself on my ability to provide exceptional service and outstanding results. My trademarks are a hands-on approach and attention to detail. At The Riverside Realty Group, I have access to the industry's most sophisticated technology and internet presence, international marketing resources, and an unparalleled market share. All of this enables me to take my client-centric service to the next level."
In a more vibrant market his attention to detail ensures that deals stay together, even in the most difficult circumstances. As one previous client said: “Rob’s style is low-key enough to make people feel comfortable, yet aggressive enough to make the sale happen."
Rob resides in Westport with his family, and has extended family in Weston, Wilton, Fairfield, and Norwalk, all of which he also covers. He has been a coach for Little League baseball, basketball and soccer. Rob also teaches a Continuing education class at Staples High School called ‘How to Sell your Home’. He is a life-long New York Yankees fan. In his spare time Rob enjoys bicycling, hiking, and pickleball.
