Robert Schilling moved to Vail with his family in 1974. He graduated from Battle Mountain High School in 1980 and then pursued a B.S. in Marketing and eventually earned a Master’s degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Schilling is not only passionate about his real estate career but about the Vail Valley. When not practicing real estate he spends much of his time volunteering on Vail Mountain as a Community Guest Services host, he also volunteers with the Ford Amphitheater and the Vilar Center. Even more, he is a member of the local Rotary Club where he recently directed their Community Services program. Schilling’s real joy comes from a gifting program he started when he became a Realtor. He has made a commitment to giving back a portion of his earnings to local nonprofit organizations of his buyers’ or sellers’ choice. He welcomes the opportunity to engage his clients in the nonprofit arena and show them how our charities need all of our support. He feels our community truly benefits from the services we receive from our many charitable organizations. When Robert is not volunteering or working you can find him skiing, kayaking or climbing the mountains surrounding our mountain paradise.
