Robert Bruss

A few years ago I met Bob Bruss thru a client named Brian Yui. Bob was contributing to Brian's Home Buying book, and Brian thought we should meet.

I was eager for the introduction as I knew Bob to be a real estate legend. I remember reading his advise 20 years ago  in the San Francisco Chronicle back in my college days. He is the Dear Abby of real estate. So I was absolutely thrilled to meet him when he came into town attending a conference in L.A.

We had lunch and I found him to be an incredibly sharp and a passionate man. He was at an Internet Marketing conference for goodness sake.

I had heard he was sick of late and was saddened to learn a few moments ago that the great Bob Bruss had passed away. He will be remembered as the sage of real estate. And hopefully those that were able to meet him, even for a moment in time, will be inspired as I was by his wit and passion.

He leaves behind him a body of work that any real estate professional and/or investor should embrace.
