A University of Texas at Austin grad (BBA, MBA), in addition to having a successful real estate practice, Bobby has also created and is the CEO of his own highly successful real estate trust.

Testimonials
"I moved here from another state and knew nothing about the local market. With his vast professional experience and intimate knowledge of the area, Bobby pulled me several times from the brink of making serious mistakes in, what many say, is the most important purchase of your life. He taught me the nuances of the various neighborhoods, who the best builders are, and what to look for during a viewing…When it came to the final purchase, Bobby was a strong advocate for my interest. I felt confident accepting his recommendation for the offer. He prepped me for the closing and played an active part at the proceedings to make sure I understood…I want to tell other people that they should hire Bobby. Bobby made the house hunting journey fun.

"My wife, Monica, and I would like to make you aware that our house hunting experience with…Bobby Mello was outstanding. Monica and I have dealt with many realtors® over the years and have never before had the benefit of someone who worked as hard on our behalf. Not only that, but Bobby gave us an education in home construction, home buying in general, and home buying in Austin that was so empowering we are looking at all of Bobby’s predecessors with a suspicious eye. Why didn’t they furnish us with such a comprehensive education? The fact that Bobby is friendly, outgoing and personable are just icing on the cake. We would not hesitate to use Bobby’s services again and would recommend him to other home buyers and sellers with utmost confidence."

"I know this sounds a little dramatic but my situation was the most dire I have been in my life (financially)…Bobby tackled my doomed situation with a fervor and determination that was quite frankly surprising and just what I needed to give me the hope I was needing. His enthusiasm and positive attitude really bolstered me at what was an incredibly scary and uncertain time…He was also an incredible resource and guide with regards to how I could best proceed in making the sale happen as quickly as possible. He put me in touch with a very reasonable and qualified contractor to do the repairs needed on my home quickly…He coached me on getting my house prepared for open houses and conducted several of these open houses contacting prospective buyers and advertising thoroughly to get as much traffic as possible...Any client would be lucky to have him in their corner…as lengthy as this letter is, it falls short of expressing just how grateful I am that he was mine."
-Nora S., Client
"At the initial interview with you, we were pleased with …the impressive “education” that you gave us o the history, current status and future expectations for the Austin housing market…there was no reason for us to look any further. We knew for sure you would do a great job of selling a great house. And that is just what you did! We truly appreciate the fast work and the quick communications you maintained. We thought the house was advertised and presented well in the flyers, video, etc. Your advice to us on how to present it certainly paid off. A house priced right, a contract in four days and a closing in 18 days. What more could we ask?? Thanks for all that you did to make this as pleasant a journey as we could have ever hoped for, and especially for getting us the price that you did. Congrats on a job well done and the fruits of your labor are very much appreciated. "
