As Founder and CEO, Rob Gandy creates uniquely crafted real estate solutions across various product types and strategies. His vision is centered around a simple ethos: We go further together. He believes real estate is not just about buildings and land, but about the people who make those assets meaningful. Whether working closely with investors, engaging with community stakeholders, or empowering his team, Rob knows that success is built on trust, collaboration, and shared vision.

Prior to founding TLC, Rob served as Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Cielo Property Group, where he excelled in deal sourcing, capital markets, and stakeholder engagement, with a strong emphasis on building lasting partnerships. Following a 13-year tenure, the CEOs parted ways and Rob revitalized the team and business model as the foundation for TLC's expanded and diversified operations.

Rob’s background also includes commercial real estate lending with regional banks, and experience as a fixed income trader at Sandler O’Neill + Partners in New York. He attended the University of Texas, where he earned a BA in Economics and competed as a track athlete. 

Rob is a dedicated member of YPO, and has been involved with several advisory boards and councils, including the Urban Land Institute, McCombs Real Estate Center at University of Texas, Hill Country Conservancy, the Seton Fifty, and the Dell Children’s Trust.
