Robert Mello
A University of Texas at Austin grad (BBA, MBA), in addition to having a successful real estate practice, Bobby has also created and is the CEO of his own highly successful real estate trust. Because of his continuing ties to residential construction – Bobby also maintains excellent relationships with outstanding contractors and construction crews.
He’s seen Austin change dramatically over the last 31 years, through real estate booms and busts, watched neighborhoods go up and down, saw first hand how homes held up or fell apart over the years, carefully noting which builders built a great quality home, and those that fell sadly short.
Whether buying or selling a home, he’s one of the very few who can provide the critical insider information that’s desperately needed in buying/selling a home successfully and smoothly, regardless of economic and market cycles.
He's an agent who's an expert in this local area, brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information, and is eager to serve you.

Testimonials
"I know this sounds a little dramatic but my situation was the most dire I have been in my life (financially)…Bobby tackled my doomed situation with a fervor and determination that was quite frankly surprising and just what I needed to give me the hope I was needing. His enthusiasm and positive attitude really bolstered me at what was an incredibly scary and uncertain time…He was also an incredible resource and guide with regards to how I could best proceed in making the sale happen as quickly as possible. He put me in touch with a very reasonable and qualified contractor to do the repairs needed on my home quickly…He coached me on getting my house prepared for open houses and conducted several of these open houses contacting prospective buyers and advertising thoroughly to get as much traffic as possible...Any client would be lucky to have him in their corner…as lengthy as this letter is, it falls short of expressing just how grateful I am that he was mine."

"I learned a lot from working with Bobby. We toured many houses, and he quickly pointed out things that I should be looking for: where to look for cracks and signs of foundation movement, termites, water damage, plumbing issues, and so on. He was always encouraging, despite the fact that many of the houses I wanted to look at ended up having some of these problems. Bobby wanted me to be a shrewd buyer, and to find the best house I could afford regardless of how many tours it took. He had absolutely no interest in getting me into a house quickly just so he could get paid, which is not something my friends can say about the realtors® they’ve used!"

"At the initial interview with you, we were pleased with …the impressive “education” that you gave us o the history, current status and future expectations for the Austin housing market…there was no reason for us to look any further. We knew for sure you would do a great job of selling a great house. And that is just what you did! We truly appreciate the fast work and the quick communications you maintained. We thought the house was advertised and presented well in the flyers, video, etc. Your advice to us on how to present it certainly paid off. A house priced right, a contract in four days and a closing in 18 days. What more could we ask?? Thanks for all that you did to make this as pleasant a journey as we could have ever hoped for, and especially for getting us the price that you did. Congrats on a job well done and the fruits of your labor are very much appreciated. "
