About Rob Sibcy
In 2015, Rob Sibcy celebrated his 50th anniversary as a real estate professional.  He acquired his real estate license in 1965 upon graduating with an Economics degree from Washington and Jefferson College. At the time his father, Bob, owned Sibcy Realtors which consisted of one office and 15-20 real estate agents.

When Rob was 25 years old in 1968, his father suffered a heart attack and several debilitating strokes. One day Rob was a real estate agent and the next he became president with no time for grooming to take over the business. His goal at that time was to make the business flourish and grow. Rob took the company from a modest business to the largest regional residential real estate firm with over 1,200 real estate agents and 23 office locations.

Besides heading up Sibcy Cline Realtors and its affiliates, Rob has been involved as a founding member and former Chairman of the Board  with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World (a global network of over 550 independent real estate companies from 60 countries). He currently serves on the finance committee for ArtsWave (formerly Fine Arts Fund) and is on the board of directors of the Myers Y. Cooper Company and CBank.
