Robert Gabhart

My new bride and I moved into our 1914 Mission Hills Craftsman home on Pine Street in 1982. We raised our son here and have a solid network of friends and neighbors. As a DIY, hands-on person, I’ve done lots of repairs and helped with 3 remodels.

Are older homes a good investment? I felt we overpaid: $150,000! (Our home’s value has gone up - a lot.) Older and historic homes are my specialty as a realtor. I love them! As a docent for Mission Hills Heritage Association, I l enjoy sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for our neighborhood.

Buying an older home can be tricky, but I will navigate you through the process, from getting the right inspections done to arriving at a fair price. My knowledge of structures, Mills Act qualifications, and architecture give me a strong position when negotiating your purchase.

Interested in selling your old home? I’ll sell your home quickly! I do most marketing before the home hits the MLS, including professional staging and photos, paid positioning on prominent real estate websites, and e-mail blasts to 400 Berkshire Hathaway top producers. The goal is to create a lot of activity and interest as soon as your home hits the market and generate multiple offers.

I’m happy to provide you with a free comparative marketing analysis (CMA) of your home’s market value and testimonials from my clients. If you’re not familiar with our neighborhood, I’d love to show you around. Just give me a call.
