About Roberta Abel

I'm happy to share info about myself with you, but let's face it: you buying a home or selling a home isn't about me. It's about me doing a great job for you. And I promise I will. So, with that said...

I grew up in New York, about 30 miles north of the George Washington Bridge on the New Jersey side of the Hudson River. After graduating from high school, I went south. Literally, not figuratively.

My first two years of college were at the University of Miami, majoring in Mass Communications. I then transferred to the University of Florida where I received a BS in Advertising.

Atlanta was my next stop, where I began my career as an advertising copywriter at Rich's Department Store. From there, I moved to Chicago where I continued my advertising career working in ad agencies such as Leo Burnett and J. Walter Thompson.

My advertising experience comes in very handy in my Real Estate career. When it comes to listing your home, nobody can market your home the way I can. And, let me tell you, the advertising field can prepare you very well in the art of negotiating.

Anyway, on with the tour.

Next stop, California (my fifth state). Specifically, Redondo Beach, San Francisco and Oakland.

Boy, do I know what it's like to move!

Having lived in so many places allows me to not only empathize with buyers, it allows me to have a little something in common with people from all over the country.

Whether you are a buyer or a seller, I give you my word that I will do my best to help you achieve your goals. It's all part of my job.
