CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:
We cannot recommend our agent, Robert, highly enough! He went far above and beyond what anyone could expect from a real estate professional when selling our unit — especially in a challenging downward market.
From the very beginning, Robert took charge of staging the property in the most incredible way. Instead of hiring an expensive stager, he brought his own artistic eye and beautiful decor pieces, personally styling the unit with his exceptional decorating skills. Thanks to him, we saved a full $10,000 in staging fees while making the home look magazine-worthy!
As a talented actor, Robert used his celebrity talent and natural storytelling ability to create a stunning property video with his own professional narration. The video performed amazingly, attracting 20k+ views across his social media platforms — acting like powerful, free advertising that brought in serious buyers!
During the first open house, Robert’s warm yet highly effective communication style created real excitement. He connected beautifully with every visitor and successfully generated multiple offers right away.
Throughout the entire selling process, Robert was incredibly dedicated. He applied smart, strategic thinking at every step and always kept us informed. What truly set him apart was the genuine emotional support and validation he provided us during what can be a stressful time. He truly cared and made us feel supported every step of the way.
Thanks to Robert’s dedication and effort, we listed on March 11 in a downward market, received an offer in just 7 days, and closed the deal only 15 days later — an incredibly fast and smooth sale that exceeded all expectations!
If you’re looking for an agent who is talented, creative, strategic, and truly has your back, look no further. Robert is worth every bit of his commission and more. Thank you for everything — you made selling our unit a fantastic experience even in tough market conditions!
Highly, highly recommended!
Sold a Condo home in 2025 in Ocean park, Santa monica, CA.
Rob was great to work with. He knows all the Santa Monica neighborhoods very well, is great at communicating, and goes above and beyond for his clients. Rob was always there to answer any questions when I had them, rolled up his sleeves and helped get my place ready to sell (e.g., buying plants, bringing accent pieces, suggesting small and easy changes to make the place show better, etc.), and was focused on getting the outcome that mattered to me. Definitely recommend if you are selling or buying! Joe Raffie
"I interviewed a few RE agents when listing my condo in Ocean Park - I live out-of-state and relied on expert input. Rob was not only the most optimistic about the value of my property, but he put in the time, energy, and physical labor to realize a selling price much higher than the other agents quoted/predicted. If I could give him 6 stars I would." -Kyle Cunningham / Ocean Park, Santa Monica
"Moving from the east coast, my wife and I knew we loved Santa Monica, but didn’t know where to begin. We met Rob 2 years ago and he provided invaluable help all along the way...from finding our dream home to closing the deal. He made the process fun while completely exceeding our expectations. We couldn’t be more pleased." - Joe Philport / Ocean Park, Santa Monica
"Buying a home in a red hot LA sellers' market is extremely challenging, but Rob went above and beyond to make himself constantly available as an advisor, advocate, and friend. Rob brought a sense of professionalism and expertise to the process that helped get me comfortable with the biggest purchase of my life. My seller was tough, but Rob was tougher, and the result is a home I love at a price I adore." -Parker M. Tresemer / Jefferson Park
"Robert was one of the most genuine folks I’ve met in the real estate industry (which says a lot). I had the pleasure of meeting and working with him through a good friend of mine, and he did not disappoint. Robert’s knowledge of the real estate industry through living and owning a place in LA for decades provided a huge advantage. I relied not only on his expertise and knowledge, but also on his kind and patient listening ear throughout a daunting process of buying a home in LA. I am very grateful I’ve had the chance to work with him and can say I’ve walked away with a friend from the process." - Christine Choi / El Segundo
"We could not be happier with our experience with Rob. He helped us every step along the way. He is knowledgeable, experienced and has a great sense of humor!" - Jane Modoono / Ocean Park, Santa Monica
"Rob facilitated our first purchase of a 4 unit building in Venice. He was very knowledgeable and always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. His customer service and attention to detail is unmatched. I would recommend him to anybody looking to buy or sell in the beach communities and look forward to working with him again." -Christopher & Ashley Anthony / 35 23rd Ave, Venice
