Growing up in the flower and bulb district in the picturesque town of Warmond, located in the Netherlands, Robert Ciere started his career in the flower industry. From the age of 18, he bought and sold flowers and worked his way up to management. His career gave him the opportunity to travel extensively throughout Europe and South America and the opportunity to live in Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Eventually, his career brought him to New York. With a carpentry degree and a family background in the building industry, Robert would naturally transition his business skills to real estate. Having lived in many places, he understands the desire and need to find a place one can call home. Robert is a hard worker with a passion for learning and a focus on helping others. He has always believed that treating everyone fairly and honestly is the only way to conduct himself. His view on life is that life is to be lived to the fullest. Life is short. Work hard and play hard, but do both with high standards and morals. In his spare time, Robert can be found walking around Manhattan and enjoying the history and architecture of the city or riding his bike in Central Park (the Dutch are known for riding bikes). He also enjoys playing basketball at the local schoolyard and playing golf. He is fluent in both Dutch and English and speaks conversational German. To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone. - Reba McEntire Working with Robert Ciere to find our home was truly a pleasure. He was responsive, thorough, personable, and professional. Navigating the New York City real estate market can be a trying experience, but Robert made us feel like we were his only clients. Even after our lease was signed, he stayed in contact with us, making sure everything up to our move-in date went smoothly. I would highly recommend him, and in fact we took a bunch of his business cards to hand out to friends planning to move to the New York area! - Tara P.
