Bob held his first brokers license in 1969 in Indiana and has been involved in Real Estate, as both an investor and/or an agent until the present. He currently holds a sales persons license in the State of California and specializes in home sales as well as residential and commercial investment property from Central California to San Diego.
He graduated from Purdue University with a degree in metallurgical engineering and transitioned into management eventually becoming General Manager for TORO Irrigation Systems and later Accuride International. Bob brought a rich and diverse business background with him when he decided to pursue his true passion in real estate. When asked what sets Bob apart from most other agents, he states that “A relentless work ethic, an ability to perform under pressure, and a fine attention to detail are skills that too many agents lack and coincidentally where I am able to excel.” He goes on to say that “Too many agents operate loosely and only when it’s convenient for them. This philosophy is simply unacceptable in the modern competitive business world. But don’t get me wrong, I’m glad they operate this way, it only makes us look better!”
Bob is also active in the community where he lives. He is a member of the Fullerton Rotary Club, the Save The Fox Organization, as well as trade groups like RIAOC ( Realty Investment Association Orange County), and does weekly community service at a local senior citizen home. In his spare time, Bob enjoys spending time with his wife Sue and their two dogs. He says, “My wife is instrumental in keeping me sane in this stressful business and I can’t tell her enough how much I love, admire, and appreciate her and the constant support and understanding she provides.
Bob keeps the family in the business by working with his son Todd. About his business partnership with his son he jokes that, “Sometimes it feels like the two of us are married……only we’re teetering on the brink of divorce!” He goes on to say that “All kidding aside, I couldn’t be happier with our partnership as our strengths compliment each other very nicely. Todd brings a lot to the table, genetics being only part of the equation, as I honestly can’t think of somebody who can do what he does better than Todd is able to do it.
As far as performance goes, Bob has proven himself a top producer by recently winning the coveted Century 21 Centurion Award, an award that recognizes the top 5% of all Century 21 agents nationwide, in 2004, 2005, and 2006. Bob has set the FOUST Team’s 2007 goal of winning the very elite Double Centurion Award and is currently on pace to do just that.
