Proprietor and Licensee Robert started his real estate career at age 18 when he joined his father's Canberra based real estate agency Lyneham, Tacheci and Whyte. At age 21 Robert became the youngest agent in Canberra to be registered to be able to operate a real estate business in his own right. In 1979 at the age of 24, Robert moved to Bermagui. He has been amongst the top achievers in his industry. In the years that his business traded as LJ Hooker Bermagui, Robert's achievements included 1st prize in the LJ Hooker Annual State Awards for the "Highest Number of Exclusive Agencies" and 5th in the State for the "Highest Number of Sales". In 1995 Robert achieved Gold Badge status in the Jenman Winners Circle (a group which represents the top 2% of all agents Australia wide). Robert maintains a reputation for handling specialised prestige and beachfront properties (and has been called on to handle larger sales all the way from Merimbula to Gerringong). Robert lives with his wife Katrina and daughter Natalya. He is a member of the Four Winds Festival Committee (a classical music festival that is held in Bermagui biennially).
