…Robert In His Own Words…
I’m a second generation Manitowoc Realtor®.
“My grandfather also Robert Worthington; then me. Growing up in a unique family, with different interests, I wasn’t necessarily going to follow in the footsteps of the elders, but I decided to carry on the family tradition.”
How would I describe myself? “Passionate. Obsessed. A workaholic. Honest to a fault.” People call me a firecracker, but it’s an energy thing. Running a business is a high voltage affair, and my multitasking skills are a definite plus!
My number one priority is keeping my clients happy.
“When I get a referral from a previous client, that reward is more satisfying to me than any plaque could ever be.”
My clients come from every walk of life. Each brings a different background and concept of real estate to the table. As a realtor, you have to understand the challenges of your particular market. Manitowoc, for example, has many older properties from the Post- World War period. Not only are these buildings part of Manitowoc’s heritage, they also present particular challenges: permits; restoration; integration as newer developments surround them. I personally love these old properties, and think that people should value them more. Why? Because back then the materials were noble & the craftsmanship was in another league entirely. As the Mastercard ad says: it’s priceless. Defending Manitowoc’s historical properties is an obsession of mine.
Of course we Realtors® deal in the new as well as the old, & everything in between. Real estate is as varied as humans are varied, that’s the beauty of the business. It’s a constant challenge, but very rewarding. My personal philosophy is to treat everyone like family. I say this comes naturally-if a client puts their trust in me, then I am going to defend them until the final signatures and beyond.
Having a company in my own name means I’m putting myself on the line every time I come to the table. There is no hiding behind a corporate logo–when I decided to go out on my own, I knew that my reputation would be at stake with every transaction. It’s been a risk, but one that paid off and that I stand behind with a great deal of pride.
We deal with many first time home buyers. Analyzing the client’s needs is key; it’s also important not to get overextended when starting out. Sometimes I’ll advise against a transaction if my gut-feel is not right. Instant gratification is dangerous-nine times out of ten, I’m against it. Buying one’s own home is a huge step toward financial independence. It’s a wonderful step-a symbolic step, an exciting and often joyful step. But someone has to keep a reality check on both the current financial situation and the ramifications down the line.
That someone is me.
