Rob Norris came to Manitoulin for a summer and, 30 years later, is still enjoying the adventure of a lifetime. You may recognize Rob from the Anchor Inn which he worked and owned for over two decades with his friends and partners Bruce & Kelly O’Hare. As a result of his experience in the hospitality industry, Rob knows how to serve people, listen to their needs and understand what they want. These skills lead him to become a licensed real estate agent in March of 2019. Never one to stay idle long, Rob only took a year off between the sale of the Anchor and hitting the real estate streets. During that year he built his dream home on the North Channel with his lifelong love, Suzanne. Suzanne and Rob met in their teens and have built a life together enjoying all that this beautiful Island has to offer whether it is sailing, snowshoeing or simply taking in the spectacular vistas. Much like the attention to detail Rob put into designing and building his dream home, he handles every real estate client with the same focus and care. Rob brings a wealth of retail experience, first hand knowledge of Manitoulin and the local housing industry as well as exceptional people skills to the Rolston team.
