Description: Full-time Real Estate Professional serving Livingston County and portions of west Oakland and north Washtenaw

About Us:

I'm an active member of the Livingston County Association of Realtors, previously serving on the Board of Directors. Currently Chair of the Member Services Ctte, and a member of the Standard Forms, Technology and Strategic Planning Cttes. I won the Association's Volunteer of the Year Award in 2004 for service to the community and to the Association.

I was licensed in December 1997, received my ABR in 2000 and have completed two of the four CCIM classes. I like exploring new uses of technology to benefit my clients and customers although I realize it doesn't take the place of good marketing, advertising and customer service.

Prior to becoming licensed, I was a residential landlord with seven units, so I understand the goals of investors, as well as the benefits and pitfalls of investment property. I currently have an interest in an agent-owned LLC that specializes in commercial properties.

My mission is to help every person I work with to achieve their particular Real Estate goals.

A Past-President and current member of the Board of Directors of the Brighton Optimist Club, I approach life and business in that way. There are opportunities in every personal or business setback. The Optimist Club has given me another way to give back to the community.

I am an avid fisherman who especially loves fly fishing and fly tying - but ask me to go out with a cane pole and a bobber and I'll say "yes!".

As a runner I also try to give back to the sport by helping on some local races. I'm on the year-round staff (unpaid) of the Detroit Free Press Marathon; a director of the local running club; and a staff member for the Northville Solstice Run and the Kensington Challenge.

Member of The Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce, the Howell Chamber of Commerce and the Huron River Watershed Council. If I had any extra time at all, I'd probably join another Community Service Group.

Areas of Expertise

I have a solid base in residential Real Estate and in vacant land sales. I especially enjoy helping first-time buyers make the transition into a home, but it's also been quite gratifying to watch their families grow and help them into a larger home when the time is right. I have experience with income properties, lake properties, new construction and condominiums.

With the CCIM courses under my belt, I also have a very good understanding of commercial properties and I do list, lease and sell them, too.

About three years ago I decided to concentrate on what I consider my 'home' market area - Livingston County and the nearby communities of Fenton, Milford, South Lyon, New Hudson, Whitmore Lake and Dexter. I refer business in other communities to agents who are as knowledgable about their market area as I am about my own. I believe that consumers deserve the best service possible.

"I would thoroughly recommend Bob Smith, having been exceptionally pleased with the way in which the sale of my house was managed. The sale was completed very quickly, and with no problems, despite the fact that I was in Spain throughout the sale process. Bob always responded promptly to any questions, and kept me fully informed throughout the transaction. Bob did an excellent job for me."
