About Rob
Rob grew up in north-western Sydney then moved his family to Batemans Bay over 30 years ago "to give the family a great place to grow up". As a licensed builder for 20 years Rob has a great understanding of what makes up a good home. In his years helping clients build and renovate their homes, Rob developed the ability to listen carefully and understand people's needs. This skill has carried through into his real estate career, where he has delivered many successful outcomes and built lasting client relationships. Calm, honest, and solution-focused, Rob has earned recognition among the top 2.5% of LJ Hooker agents nationwide for consistently outstanding results, and has been honoured with Life Achiever recognition. From the vendor's point of view, Rob's great communication skills and industry knowledge makes the sales process as painless as possible. He prides himself on qualified feedback on the sale's progress ensuring they can relax knowing they are in good hands. Rob is well known in the area for his support of the local youth through his 17 year involvement with the local Army Cadet Unit, as well as Rob and his wife working with Anglicare doing foster care respite. Rob is also a member of Batemans Bay RSL sub-branch. When Rob is not working he loves nothing better than indulging in his love of motorbikes. This passion started when his father bought him a motor bike at 12 years of age. Today if you see a nice looking Triumph on the road with a sensible rider it will probably be him. Call him today to find out!
