About Bob

I have lived in the Elk Grove area since 1985 and in the Camden Passage neighborhood -- with my wife, two children and a perpetual puppy -- since 1991. We have attended Sun Grove Community Church since its inception and I coached both kids – and hundreds of other boys and girls -- in softball and baseball for a dozen years. My local expertise and real estate experience – not only as an agent but as a widely respected newspaper journalist who reported on the industry for many years -- will benefit you whether you are serious about buying or selling a home at this time or if you are a returning client checking out the many homeowner resources I offer. Prior to joining Coldwell Banker, I spent many years as a newspaper reporter and editor from San Luis Obispo to Tulare, Fresno, Modesto and Sacramento. As a Sacramento Bee business reporter, I specialized in writing about residential and commercial real estate and development. As a columnist in The Bee's regional sections, I became a familiar – and mostly friendly -- face in neighborhoods from Elk Grove to Folsom, Fair Oaks, Rancho Cordova and El Dorado County. I developed my passion for real estate honestly enough: My mother was a broker-owner in the Bay Area for many years and my dad also held a sales license.

The right guy

Bob is friendly, professional, and accessible. Bob was always prompt with communication and made himself available when I needed him. He was knowledgeable about the market and had good recommendations that resulted in a timely transaction that met my expectations. He had good recommendations for local contacts on services needed to prepare for the sale, and his networking skills helped us acquire information that guided our decision making. He also provides plenty of useful information to his clients. This is the second time I've had Bob as my agent because I liked him the first time, and I'm glad I picked him again.

We’re so lucky to have worked with Bob!

Bob is a close family friend of ours and this was our first time working with him professionally and we were so thankful we chose him. He answered all our questions so promptly and kept up with our ever-changing home searches. He agreed to meet us for every home viewing we wanted to attend, giving up entire Saturdays to visit all the homes we were interested in seeing. He drafted up offer after offer as we attempted to chase after our dream home. He helped us formulate offers we were comfortable making, while helping us be aggressive in a difficult market. He helped us understand what would make our offer competitive without ever making us feel anxious about what we’d included or asked for. His experience in the real estate industry made us feel confident at every step. His attention to our goals and the time he dedicated to working with us, especially around the holidays, is the only way we managed to find a home and get our offer accepted. We are so thankful that his dedication and breadth of experience helped us get into our first home during such a stressful time in the housing market. We couldn’t have accomplished it with anyone else!

From beginning to the end it was a great experience

My experience with Bob was great from the beginning He was eager, professional,very knowledgeable about the house market. He was always ready to move on if I didn't like certain properties He was very patient with me ( I tend to be very particular) I would gladly recommend him if asked.

Outstanding Realtor!

We couldn't have been happier to have Bob as our realtor. He handled the listing of our home as well as the purchase of a new home. Throughout the process, he was always available to answer questions and give us feedback. He gets along well with buyers and other realtors which makes a big difference when trying to sell a home. We appreciated his good humor and encouragement as it can be an emotional and stressful at time. He knows the business well and is incredibly organized. Highly recommend Bob and the other people who work with him.
