ABOUT US
Steve Robinson, DREI, BIC, DIR. Charlotte, nc
From about age 10, Steve spent many years with his father’s real estate company, eventually building homes as a licensed NC building contractor while practicing full-time as a real estate broker and property manager in North Carolina and Virginia. Steve has been responsible for building and developing many commercial and residential properties, including site-built, modular and value-appreciating manufactured dwellings.
Licensed as a broker since 1987, Steve wrote his first CE course in 2001, a title he was fortunate to have published nationally, co-authoring Dearborn’s "Manufactured & Modular Housing" with Marie Spodek.
The NCREC approved his certification as CE, Pre and Post-Licensing Instructor in 2001. Continuing his pursuit of growth and expertise, he earned the GRI designation in 2004 and was awarded DREI 2017. Steve continues to administer and develop impactful and relevant course materials in a fast-paced and lighthearted learning environment while managing his Charlotte-based construction and commercial brokerage firm.
