Your Team
I’m Bob Ormsby. I opened Ormsby Real Estate in 2002 after working at Hooper Real Estate for six years with a true Tahoe real estate legend, my friend and mentor Gordy Hooper. My wife, Roxie, and I began working together in 2006, when she joined me from Chase International Real Estate (where she was the company’s top producer). Together, we bring over 30 years of professional experience to our family-owned company, Ormsby Real Estate.
