What do Clients Say?

Robert was by far one of the best agents I have worked with in my 20 years of buying homes. I have gone through the process 4 times before in California so some aspects were different, however Robert and his team quickly educated me on the process and walked me through every step along the way. I would absolutely use Robert, his team and services again to purchase or sell property. Excellent work!

Very knowledgeable of real estate markets and strategies and always responsive though the whole process. Robert was able to sell our old house with multiple offers above list price in a matter of days and successfully broker the purchase of our new dream home.

Kenneth K.

We enjoyed working with Robert. He's a great guy! We found him to be honest, knowledgeable, super responsive to emails, genuinely interested in our best outcome, and an amazing resource for us (we were completely new to the area). He also recommended solid, equally responsive advisors. Working with him was a great choice and we would definitely recommend him to friends.

Robert was a consummate professional throughout the home search and buying process. He knows the Providence area that we were looking to buy in exceptionally well. In addition, all of his recommendations regarding lenders, appraisers, and closing attorney were all top-notch and made the process as easy as buying a new home can be. A big thumbs up to Robert and his team!
