About Robert
Experience shaped by analysis and direct involvement.
Robert Parish is a Broker Associate at Compass and licensed California attorney, not currently practicing, with more than 25 years of real-estate experience.
The work
Clear thinking throughout a consequential transaction.
Robert’s public practice has been built around buyer and seller representation across the Silicon Valley Peninsula. His background supports careful contract strategy, property analysis, negotiation, and communication. He does not provide legal advice.
Since relocating to the Peninsula in 1989, Robert has developed detailed familiarity with local schools, civic institutions, businesses, and the neighborhood distinctions that shape a property decision long before an offer is written.
He also helps clients think through floor plans, materials, and selective property improvements when those choices affect daily use, marketability, or long-term value.
