Title: -

Company: C.W. Whittier & Bro.

Location: Boston

Birthplace: Boston - 1928

Education: Nobles & Greenough; Williams College Bob went from Williams gridiron, to the Texas oil fields to the US Army to the real estate brokerage and management firm of C.W. Whittier & Bro. to join an old school chum, Charlie Kenny, all in the period of three years. After doing brokerage for several years, Bob joined the management department (the firm does not own, but manages 28 office buildings.) “When I entered the business in 1953, everything in the city was virtually unchanged since 1933. Once owners started giving amenities, other owners were forced to follow suit, and things began to happen. Rents have more than doubled since that time. This could be the most beautiful city in the country. The future is unlimited and we are just beginning to scratch the surface.” Bob, who is one of the finest banjo players in this area, is the new President of the Greater Boston Real Estate Board and will be in a position for the next year to help some of his predictions come true. An avid sailor, Bob lives with his wife and two children in Needham.
