Don Hobbs

He's is an "all or nothing" kind of guy. But once Don shows interest in something, it quickly becomes a passion. Whether it's fly fishing a remote mountain stream in pursuit of another trophy rainbow trout or attending a Los Angeles Lakers game, of whom he is an avid and lifelong fan, Don's passionate approach to life is evident from afar. That passion is also what's made him one of the most highly respected figures in North America on the topic of real estate marketing.

Don's career path began straight out of high school as a salesperson with Jim Rohn Productions, where his public speaking skills propelled him through the ranks, earning the title of Executive Vice President within four years. In this role Don was responsible for promoting and selling personal development and leadership development seminars to real estate agents, as well as training and overseeing an entire sales force.

One of Don's favorite hobbies is fly-fishing. His journeys to fulfill this passion have taken him from the great white north of Canada all the way to the opposite hemisphere in Chile and all points in between.

After eight productive years with Jim Rohn, Don joined forces with Greg Herder to launch Hobbs/Herder. This dynamic partnership has gone on to have an incredibly positive impact on thousands of real estate careers over the years.

During the past quarter century, Don has spoken to more than 500,000 real estate professionals, striving to help each one reach their true full potential. Today, as passionate as ever about his mission, Don still speaks to thousands of agents annually, sharing his ideas and proven marketing concepts. He has appeared in countless articles in a variety of publications, including The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times and his articles have appeared in Broker Agent News, Texas Realtor® and New Jersey Realtor®.

Anyone who knows Don knows of his passion for the L.A. Lakers. As an avid collector of signed sports memorabilia, Don counts more than 100 different autographed Lakers collectibles among his vast collection.

Don lives in Orange County, California with his wife Barbara and enjoys time with family especially his three granddaughters. In addition to his passion for fly fishing and his love for the Lakers, he’s a collector of art as well as sports and music/film memorabilia.
