Any discussion of high profile, residential real estate would be incomplete without mentioning Lori Bender and her talented support team.
Robert
Creative Director
“Robert’s talent enhances the perceived
value of my client’s homes”, says Lori Bender. “The brochures and
advertising as well as the photography that Robert produces create
the feeling that my client’s homes are ‘important’. When buyers feel
a home has a more important feel than another, they are willing to
pay more for it.”
Top-notch advertising is in his blood. Robert's summer vacation
often featured days spent in his fathers Manhattan design agency
observing the creative process and developing an understanding of
what it takes to produce quailty advertising graphics.
After receiving a BFA from George Washington University and the Corcoran
Museum school in Washington, D.C., Robert continued his education
with post graduate courses at the School of Visual Arts in New York
City.
In 1985, after over a decade of working with his father's firm and
freelancing for major national and international brands including,
General Foods, Chesebrough Ponds, Ciba-Geigy, GE and PepsiCo., he
moved to the Florida Keys and opened an agency in Key West. Over
the past 25 years he has provided advertising services for many of
the most successful destination resorts, retail businesses and top
producing realtors throughout the Bahamas and the Florida Keys.
It is our extreme good fortune to have a talented creative director
on board to handle our advertising needs. His experience and artist’s
eye with residential photography will help show your home in its
best light. The brochures and mailings he creates for Lori’s listings
are unsurpassed in the Naples area in both appeal and effect. Click

You can see why Robert is another highly-valued member of Lori’s
team.
