We had the good fortune of connecting with Robert Schilling and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Robert, where are your from? We’d love to hear about how your background has played a role in who you are today?
I grew up in the Vail, Colorado. Throughout my time here I’ve been involved with different charities. This community embraces giving back. After university I volunteered with the Peace Corps in Botswana, Africa. Today a key part of my real estate career is a gifting program where I give 5% of my earnings to a charity of my clients’ choice.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am a Realtor in the Vail Valley.One of the things I’m most proud of is my gifting program. I’ve given more than $100,000 to local charities at the direction of my clients.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
The Vail Valley is a beautiful mountain Valley in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. With that we would spend time hiking into the rugged Gore Range. We would also take the gondola to the the top of Vail mountain to explore the hiking trails or ski trails the mountain has to offer. Vail mountain is one of the best ski destinations in the world. I welcome the chance to take people into the famed Back Bowls where we have nearly 5,000 acres of world-class skiing. When back in the village there are many restaurants and cafes to nourish our appetite. Pepi’s Restaurant is one of my favorites–the Austrian-themed menu and decor are my favorites. Other restaurants include Up the Creek and The Tea Room Alpenrose.

Kayaking and rafting are other activities embraced by our community. I would take my friends down a number of the streams and creeks gracing the natural world in which we live.
