Global Real Estate Advisor · Summit Sotheby's International Realty · Ivins, Utah
Your trusted advisor for Ivins & Southern Utah real estate
27 years of experience, Sotheby's heritage, and Private Exclusive access.


Your Trusted Advisor
For 27 years I've helped families buy and sell real estate in Utah, and today I focus on Ivins, Kayenta, Entrada, Santa Clara, and St. George. As a Global Real Estate Advisor with Summit Sotheby's International Realty, I pair that local experience with one of the most recognized names in real estate.
What that means for you: honest guidance on value and timing, marketing with global reach, and access to my brokerage's Private Exclusive program, so buyers can see homes before they go public and sellers can market with discretion.
How Private Exclusive worksTalk with RobertPrivate Exclusive
Some of the best homes in Ivins, Kayenta, Entrada, and St. George never make a big public splash. Through my brokerage's Private Exclusive program, I can share a home privately with a vetted network of agents and their serious buyers before (or instead of) a full public launch. Here's how that works for you.
Your home is shared privately with network agents and their qualified buyers.
If you choose, the home builds public anticipation before it's fully live.
Your home launches on the MLS and public sites, backed by the pricing insight and demand we've already built.
You choose the path. Some sellers stay private, others move through every phase. Exact phases and options depend on the brokerage program.
A listing marketed privately to a select network of agents and their buyers instead of being published on the MLS and public home-search sites right away.
No. Your home is still actively marketed to agents and serious buyers, just not broadcast publicly. You decide if and when it goes public.
For privacy and security, to test price without building a public record of days on market or price cuts, or to start generating interest while the home is still being prepared.
Private Exclusives are shared through agents. Tell me what you're looking for in Southern Utah and I'll let you know about matching private listings as I'm able to share them.
Sotheby's International Realty is now part of the same parent company as Compass, and Private Exclusive tools are rolling out across that network. Ask me what's currently available for your home or search.
Yes. Private listings are handled in line with brokerage policy, local MLS rules, and NAR's Clear Cooperation Policy as applicable. If a home is marketed publicly, it goes on the MLS as those rules require.
Private Exclusive is a program of the brokerage network. Availability, features, and eligibility depend on the brokerage program and may change. Listings follow MLS and Clear Cooperation rules as applicable. Sellers choose how their home is marketed.

“Robert went far and beyond my expectations. I was moving from Denver to St George as a RENTER, not a buyer (at this time).

“Although Robert is someone who oversees million-dollar transactions and holds leadership positions in statewide realtor associations, he was more than willing to give gold-star service to a couple of picky and indecisive out-of-towners looking to buy a first home in Ogden. He applied his energy, experience, expertise, and network...”
