Meet Bobby Gellert

Family Comes First

Born and raised in Queens, NY, Bobby is the middle child between two brothers and grew up like many kids of the 70s and 80s did, leaving the house in the morning and returning home only when it was time to eat. Free to explore, Bobby spent hours playing baseball and developed a passion for the sport that has stayed with him to this day. He was recruited to play college baseball at SUNY Albany in 1988. His passion for baseball came full circle in 2018 when he started donating money to the youth sports league he played in as a kid (DAC) and the Queens Parks Department to rehabilitate all of the baseball fields he played on in his childhood.  These efforts along with the fact that he has been volunteer coaching on the High School Baseball teams in his current home town since 2014 has led him to become a transaction advisor and partner in Brewster Yards – a 45,000 SF indoor training facility for baseball and softball with nine outdoor turf fields and one multisport field. A few articles have been written about the process of rehabilitating the park, check them out below!

Bobby's first introduction to real estate came from his father, a man of great integrity and principal, who was a real estate developer. Bobby worked on his construction sites as a day laborer and real estate was the talk around their dinner table.

At 30 years young, Bobby and his wife got married in 2000.  They have two beautiful daughters and enjoy raising them in Westchester. Bobby's oldest daughter, Zoe, was injured at 12 years old and as a result, was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. This is why he and his family started a foundation called Zoe’s Heroes which raises awareness and funds to help pediatrics suffering from CRPS. 

Bobby's ultimate goal is to leave a legacy through Century 21 Shared Purpose by creating an ecosystem where the culture encourages real estate agents to focus on personal passions and causes while executing on their professional purpose and simultaneously making a positive impact on our world.

One Minute Breath Meditation

There are profound benefits to doing this every day, including heightened intuition and de-stressing – but the most important benefit first comes from connecting with yourself in the moment which then allows you to create space for others and that’s when pure empathy and mindfulness comes into play.

After initially committing to doing this for 1,000 days, Bobby is sharing his insights into this powerful meditation with you.
