Robbie Grossman, REALTOR

Founding Board Member

I have a great sense of pride and reverence for the Twin Cities Metro that I serve. I am a 4th generation St. Paul resident who grew up in the Highland Park neighborhood and attended Cretin-Derham Hall High School and later the University of MN. Prior to starting my real estate business, I gained many insights, life lessons communication and leadership skills through my work as a 911 operator for The City of Minneapolis Police, Fire and EMS.

Over the last decade I have become a seasoned expert on facilitating homeownership for my fellow community members in all corners of the Twin Cities Metro. I am a leader who champions exceptional results and representation for my clients. I pride myself on operating with integrity, honesty and a strong commitment to the clients who put their trust into me. There are no gimmicks with me; you just get good old-fashioned, superior customer service and skilled representation.

My passion for real estate and growing great communities has also led me to volunteer in a major way in the real estate industry. I currently serve on the Board Of Directors for the St Paul Association of Realtors (SPAAR) as well as on the Government Affairs committee there. I received a SPAAR HERO award in Oct 2019 for my passion for serving the veteran community to promote homeownership. I am currently a Co-Chair for the Veterans Association of Real Estate Professionals (VAREP) National Legislative Committee and our goal is to remove barriers to homeownership that our veterans face. You see, I don’t just look at real estate as my job. I want to make impactful change for consumers, my fellow agents, the community and country I care so deeply about.
