thoughtful real estate
When you are buying, selling or building a community, you can depend on rennie to deliver exceptional service. For more than 40 years, we have been bringing expert knowledge, trusted experience and a uniquely human approach to our real estate practice.
History
We see real estate as a means to build better communities and improve lives. We have been leaders in the field for more than 40 years because we consistently put people and relationships first. Bob Rennie began his career as a realtor and established himself by giving each client the same care and attention he would give his family and friends. Early on, his signature was handwritten thank-you notes and his hallmark was uncompromising work ethic. Today, at over 200 individuals, we still operate under the same philosophy—building our business with trust, knowledge and a personal touch.
