About Robert Spiegel, CMPS:

A Texas native, Robert knew he was destined to be a Real Estate leader. His obsession with Lego’s as a child led him to develop towns and neighborhoods at an early age. Then he discovered the game “Monopoly” and knew this would be his career path. He first began to practice Real Estate in Massachusetts as a real estate salesperson while in college. After completing his studies, Robert returned to Houston to practice Real Estate and eventually became a licensed Real Estate Broker in Texas. He has been active in commercial and residential real estate since returning to Texas, and served as a principal in a major real estate management and brokerage firm.

In his Real Estate career, Robert worked with Lenders resulting in less than stellar experiences. This led Robert to enter the mortgage industry with a large mortgage company in Houston. According to Robert, “a home is oftentimes the largest financial commitment that most people make, and yet most people finance a home based on a five minute phone conversation with their lender.” His approach to the mortgage industry is simple: Real Estate is one of the best ways to build wealth; however it is also one of the most overlooked and underutilized in a portfolio.

Robert's business philosophy combines integrity with mortgage planning strategies, enabling him to be innovative in creating product recommendations and financing strategies for a lifetime.

Robert constantly works with Realtors, Builders, CPAs, and Financial Advisors to develop unique financing strategies for his clients. Additionally, Robert was the first mortgage originator in the Gulf Coast to hold the prestigious designation of Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist. Robert holds a degree in Business Administration, with concentrations in Entrepreneurship and Real Estate from Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts. He is a licensed Real Estate Broker (currently inactive) in Texas and an active real estate investor. Robert is regularly heard on the radio as the Real Estate and Mortgage Expert on The Money Makeover Show.

In his spare time Robert enjoys collecting classic cars and cooking. When he is not working in Houston, Robert spends time with his dog restoring his 140 year old Historic home in Galveston, Texas and his desert retreat in Marfa, Texas.
