Richard Robbins is no stranger to the fast-paced world of real estate and high-performance sales. A true self-made success story, Robbins was born and raised in a small rural town in Ontario, Canada. At just 24, he began his journey in real estate sales—driven by an unshakable passion for growth, learning, and leadership.
Only four years later, in the midst of one of the most challenging real estate crashes in history, Robbins boldly opened his own brokerage. Through resilience, innovation and a deep commitment to client success, he rose to become one of the top 1% of agents in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Within just three years, his brokerage captured an impressive 12% market share—cementing his reputation as one of Canada’s most dynamic and results-driven real estate professionals.
With Richard’s leadership and guidance, his agents went on to achieve the highest production per agent of any brokerage in their trading area. But what’s most remarkable isn’t the numbers, it’s how he achieved them. At a time when endless hours and constant reactivity defined the industry, Richard chose a different path. Rather than letting his business control his life, he built a highly profitable real estate business that offered true freedom, both in time and income, allowing him to live life on his own terms.
In 1998, Richard and his wife, Sue, took a leap of faith and founded Richard Robbins International (RRI) with a single mission: To help real estate professionals build profitable businesses and lives they love.
Driven by purpose and fuelled by experience, Richard Robbins continues to empower real estate sales professionals and team leaders across North America achieve untold success in business and in life.
