After proudly serving as a Hospital Corpsman in the U.S. Marines, I embarked on a fulfilling thirty-one-year journey as an educator in the esteemed Sayville School district. Honored with the title of New York State Teacher of the Year in 1990, my passion for serving others and fostering growth has been a driving force throughout my career. Armed with advanced master's degrees from St. John's and Hofstra Universities, I also contributed as an adjunct instructor at Dowling College.
In 2004, I transitioned into the world of real estate, leveraging the skills honed in the classroom – patience, an acute understanding of client needs, and an unwavering commitment to transforming their aspirations into reality. From 2005 to 2022, I proudly earned the title of Top Producer, securing recognition with Masters, Ruby, and Diamond awards. However, what truly matters to me is the satisfaction of my clients, evident in my multiple Century 21 Quality Service Pinnacle designations, a testament to unparalleled client satisfaction. With almost 150 "5-star" reviews, I take pride in the fact that the majority of my clientele comes from referrals.
As a certified buyers' agent, I bring a wealth of experience in representing both buyers and sellers across Nassau and Suffolk Counties. My commitment to excellence extends beyond transactions; it's about creating lasting relationships. A firm believer in giving back, I've served my local community in various capacities. As the former treasurer and president of the South Country Shores Civic Association, I actively contributed to the well-being of our neighborhood comprising 217 homes. In times of need, I volunteered for the Red Cross disaster relief, supported my parish food pantry, and organized Thanksgiving food drives for the local community through the Century 21 office.
I invite you to connect with me for a detailed discussion on how I can best cater to your unique real estate needs. My approach is centered around personalized service and a commitment to ensuring your satisfaction. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet with you and help turn your real estate dreams into reality

Jennifer J, Commack, NY
We worked with Bob to sell our condo, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, he made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and surprisingly enjoyable. Bob’s knowledge of the market was spot-on—he guided us through pricing, staging, and timing with total confidence.
What stood out most was his communication. He kept us informed every step of the way, always answered our questions quickly, and explained everything clearly so we never felt lost or overwhelmed. His professionalism and attention to detail gave us so much peace of mind.
Thanks to Bob’s expertise, our condo sold quickly and at a price we were really happy with. If you’re looking for a realtor who is honest, responsive, and truly invested in helping you reach your goals, Bob is the one.
