A native of Northeast Connecticut, Robert has always been a creative entrepreneur. Some of his early ventures were Wall Stone Interiors, a painting and restoration company for fine homes, and Olive Tree Catering, a gourmet catering company. Robert spent many years traveling in Europe from the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, and France where he discovered his next big idea. In 1991 Robert opened Café Earth, one of the first few cafes to serve espresso drinks outside of a major metropolitan city. Café Earth was located on the campus of the University Of Connecticut. The energy and liveliness of the European styled café eventually grew to an immense success and Robert expanded to multiple locations. Robert sold the last of his cafés in 2001 and was searching for his next venture. It started simply by purchasing his first condominium on South Beach, an ocean front unit on Ocean Dr. This expanded to a savvy real estate investor buying and selling a portfolio of over a dozen properties. During this time Robert obtained his real estate license. Working at Athena Realty, his dedication and arduous work quickly earned Robert number 1 agent for sales and rentals at Athena and top 5% on Miami Beach. Robert, a successful real estate broker, investor, is proficient at forecasting market trends and has been very successful at helping his clients find the best real estate deals and selling at the appropriate time to earn profits.
