Read our blog below to learn more about one of May’s Agents to Watch, Robby Dearth!

Why did you choose to pursue a career in real estate?

I took a sales class as part of my Marketing Degree from Sonoma State and one of our assignments was to shadow someone with a sales career. I chose my brother-in-law Rory who is a local agent/broker and ended up falling in love with the career. Every time things get hard at work I make sure to call Rory and complain.

How have you adapted your marketing/business during the era of Coronavirus (COVID-19)?:

I’ve made video a huge part of my marketing and “education” plan for both buyers and sellers. With so many people being at home due to Covid, there’s a lot more time to get lost in YouTube and IGTV – It started out being incredibly scary for me, but I’ve grown to love it!

What’s the best thing that happened to you this month?:

Personally: I got my first vaccine shot. Professionally: I helped three first-time buyer clients achieve their dreams of homeownership.

Are you a morning or a night person?:

Morning for sure, if I miss my 5 am workout my whole day is off. All the memes about the dad that wakes up early and brags about it? That’s me.

What is one of the things you would put on your “bucket” list?:

I’d like to swim in a pool of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck… but realistically I’d like to get my pilot’s license.

What is something you wish you could be good at?:

Growing hair on the top of my head.

What is something most people would never guess about you?:

I used to have a fear of public speaking and talking to strangers.

Must have purse/car item:

Ibuprofen… I have two young daughters.

What does a perfect day in Sonoma/Mendocino/SF County look like for you?:

Starts with Brunch at Howard Station Cafe in Occidental while we watch the fog burn off, then a quick drive over Coleman Valley Road to Salmon Creek Beach where my daughters love to explore and run around. Then we’d head back in through Guerneville and take a quick walk around Armstrong Redwoods. We’d have to swing over to Sebastopol for a slice at Mombo’s Pizza before an evening stop at Russian River Brewing Company in Windsor to let the kids run around while me and my wife Brandi enjoy some Pliny. If there’s time we’d swing by Moxie’s for some frozen yogurt and the kids would be in bed and asleep by bedtime!

What’s your favorite local restaurant?:

This is a hard one because (as you can tell from my previous answer) I love Sonoma County Restaurants. But if I had to pick one: I worked at Mary’s Pizza Shack in Windsor as a Pizza Maker in High School and for a few years after, and then later I met my wife while we were servers at the Summerfield location. Mary’s Pizza Shack will always hold a special place in my heart.
