Rob Serbin

Rob spent most of his childhood moving from city to city with his family. Born in North Carolina, his father was in the United States Coast Guard, and so Rob attended many schools and made many friends all over the country. His most notable memories are the years living in Alaska, hunting Moose, and enjoying the great outdoors. Rob and his family moved to Traverse City when he was a sophomore in high school, where his father retired, and Rob decided to stay. As a young person looking for work, he started out in the kitchen and catering for the Co-op, now known as Oryana. He still has an affinity for cooking and enjoys a good home-cooked meal with family and friends. Rob also spent many years in the trades, swinging a hammer, and being a part of the growth and construction of many homes in Leelanau and Grand Traverse County. He transitioned into Real Estate, taking with him the experience and knowledge he has of quality-built homes, working for The Martin Company in Glen Arbor. Soon after, he realized that having his name on the sign would be something for which he would strive. Soon enough, his dream came true, and Serbin Real Estate was born. He is proud that his company has been in business for 13 years now, and believes his success has come from maintaining honesty, integrity, and loyalty to his clients.

When not working, Rob enjoys travel, water skiing (especially on Glen Lake) basketball, biking, tennis, cooking, good wine, and friends who are interested in any or all the above.

Rob's oldest stepdaughter Erin Attwood is a Real Estate Photographer in Traverse City and has recently completed a total remodel of an 1800’s home in downtown Empire. His youngest stepdaughter Anne Rollo joined Serbin Real Estate 10 years ago as the Office/Listings Manager and also recently received her Real Estate License. He has three grand daughter’s, Robin (Erin’s daughter) and Amelia & Maya (Anne’s daughters), with whom he also very much enjoys spending his time.
