Robert Brigande

Born and raised on Staten Island, New York, Robert's journey has been marked by academic excellence and a dedication to serving others. He earned his BS in Business with honors and a minor in Communications from SUNY at Buffalo before embarking on a path that led him to a remarkable career.

Following his undergraduate studies, Robert pursued an MBA in Accounting at Pace University in New York City and later obtained his CPA license. His early career took him to Wall Street, where he spent two years with Paine Webber, gaining valuable financial expertise.

However, Robert's most significant chapter unfolded during his 15-year tenure at The New York Times, where he held various roles, including Internal Corporate Auditor and Controller for several CBS, NBC, and ABC television affiliates. This experience honed his meticulous attention to detail, respect for confidentiality, and adherence to stringent deadlines.

Upon relocating to Southern California over 20 years ago, Robert embraced his passion for real estate. Over five years, he served as the Controller for a local real estate company while simultaneously engaging in property sales and leasing. It was during this period that he realized his true calling lay in leveraging his CPA background to excel in real estate.

Robert seamlessly transitioned into a Realtor role, where he continues to serve his clients with the same dedication and professionalism he cultivated as a CPA. With humility and unwavering commitment, he places his clients' wants and needs at the forefront, whether they seek to lease a property, find their dream home, or make an investment. Robert is teamed up with The Jodi Rubin Real Estate Team, Sotheby's International Realty.

Outside of his professional pursuits, Robert is an active member of his community, serving on the finance committee and hospitality ministry in his parish. He extends his compassion by providing meals to the homeless. A source of great pride for Robert is the preservation of family traditions. This passion extends to his community, where he can often be found sharing his culinary creations from the stunning beaches to the tranquil valleys of Southern California.

In Robert's eyes, being the number one agent isn't about accolades; it's about being the number one agent for each of his clients. His testament to success is that the majority of his business comes from referrals—a testament to the trust and satisfaction he inspires in those he serves.
