Metro Suburban Sales Representatives

Rob has worked in the Ottawa real estate market since 1979. He began his career in fee property management, where he was responsible for several high-density properties across the region. In time, he joined an established commercial real estate development company. Later promoted to Director of Properties, Rob was responsible for all aspects of leasing, tenant relations, marketing strategies and land purchases. Through this experience he gained a valuable appreciation for the vendor’s and landlord’s perspectives.

In 1984, Rob joined the largest regional brokerage firm in Ottawa to market office, industrial and retail properties. As the firm grew, specialization became more important and the prime focus became office and industrial sales and leasing.

Since co-founding Metro Suburban Realty Ltd. in 1989, Rob has focused on the sale of owner-occupied and investment properties. Over the years Rob has worked for numerous public, private and non-profit organizations.
