    About Rob Hampson

    Broker - Owner (31 years experience) Specialties Buyer's agent Listing agent Relocation Short-Sale Born in Seattle, Washington as the eldest son of a minister, Rob's family moved a dozen times throughout his childhood, ranging from Hawaii, to Upstate New York, to Florida and points between. Upon discharge from the Navy, Rob enrolled at Humboldt State University on the extreme Northern California coast. This was home for the next 24 years, obtaining two bachelors degrees, raising a family and building a real estate career with the wonderful team at Community Realty. In the spring of 2006 he and his partner, Caterina, moved to the medieval village of Canterbury, England to study for their Master's degrees. After a year and a half they had the opportunity to go to San Lucido, the small, Southern Italian, ancestral village of Caterina's grandparents, and while overlooking the Mediterranean Sea they were able to finish writing their dissertations. Upon graduation in 2008 they returned to the United States, and were lured to the beauty and mystery of the high desert of Santa Fe, New Mexico where they lived on the historical estate of the artist Randall Davey, as the caretaker for Audubon New Mexico's headquarters at an elevation of 7,300 feet above sea level! Finally, in 2011 they were brought full circle back to the beauty of the Northern Humboldt coast where Rob continues his practice as a real estate broker with his long time family at Community Realty, takes daily walks along the beach with Rosie, and maintains a painting studio in an old logging truck garage in McKinleyville. If you want an easygoing, down to earth experience with a creative flair for your next real estate transaction, Rob's the guy to talk to.

    Rob was great to work with. It was an unconventional purchase, but Rob had the experience & knowledge to make the buying process smooth as possible. We will be using Rob for our next purchase in that market.

    Rob was incredibly easy to work with and had great advice in all aspects of the process. He was quick to respond to my inquiries and helped me understand the big picture and the details. Rob also had a lot of knowledge about the local market, which helped me feel at ease with such a big decision. I would highly recommend him, especially for a first time home buyer!

    Rob made what could have been a stressful home purchase for me into a relatively pain-free one. 1) I initially chose Rob as my agent because of his knowledge of the area. As I am not local to Arcata, I had to rely on my agent to understand the real estate market and neighborhoods in that area. Not only did he have a wealth of information on the homes for sale in that area, he also gave me information on homes that were recently sold, and why they were sold for $xxx amount. He seemed to have memorized all the facts, inspection reports, and sales history of all the houses on the market! 2) Robs communication was excellent. He responded to all of my texts and emails promptly. If he was with another client or in a meeting, he would text me right away just to let me know that he would call me as soon as he was free. He even responded promptly when he was out of the country on vacation and in a different time zone! He also would regularly give me status of where we were at with the closing process - something that my lender was incapable of doing. 3) The best part about working with Rob is I felt like I was working with a friend and not a real estate agent. I would definitely recommend Rob to anyone looking for a home in Humboldt County!

    Rob was very helpful in finding a house in the price range I was looking for and the people necessary to get the house inspected and getting the seller to drop the price for the house.

    Rob! The right man for the Job! What a monumental task to be able to match a home in the beautiful and quirky Humboldt county. He knows the ins and outs of all the areas. Climate patterns. Personality of the neighborhoods. History of the homes and the market. He?s got an intuitive finger on the pulse of the market. He will calmly observe and let you check out the home and formulate your own opinion. And when it?s time to weigh the pros and cons he?ll play devils advocate on those points, which helps you feel out if it?s a correct fit. Hes also very good at spotting quality construction as well as home features that may be problematic down the road. He has clearly been observing the market closely. I was working with him while watching the houses come and go. His predictions for which houses were going to sell quickly, and for around what price were impressively accurate.
