ABOUT ME

Meet Robbie

Meet Robbie

After having health concerns, I had to spend months away from my business and pass my listings to another person. The experience cost me money and reputation, and showed me how vulnerable independent agents and small agencies can be when they don’t have a trusted support system in place.

After having health concerns, I had to spend months away from my business and pass my listings to another person. The experience cost me money and reputation, and showed me how vulnerable independent agents and small agencies can be when they don’t have a trusted support system in place.

What I went through became the inspiration for The Real Estate Locum. A solution designed specifically for independent agents and boutique agencies who need reliable cover without feeling like they’re handing their business to a competitor.
