Tobi Libbra
Associate Broker | 217-320-9146 | tlibbra@clgulfcoast.com
Following 12 years as an owner/managing broker of an independent real estate agency in Illinois, Tobi Libbra’s family made the decision to move to the beautiful Gulf Coast of Alabama. After accepting a new position as the executive director for the South Baldwin Chamber of Commerce Education Foundation and also acting as an associate broker for a local agency, she still knew something was missing. A year and a half later she found “her place” – that one where you know you are supposed to be – when she discovered IL Group.
As regional vice president at IL Group, Libbra was responsible for consulting and marketing IL Group’s insurance products to financial institutions, mortgage servicers and independent insurance agents all over the country. Crye-Leike Gulf Coast Real Estate and Vacation Rentals was born after much discussion and careful planning with the owners. Together, they are determined to provide the same excellent service to real estate clients that have been provided to the IL Group financial clients across the United States. Libbra states, “I am both privileged and honored to have been a part of founding our new real estate division as the qualifying broker, and now Associate Broker of Crye-Leike. Everyone here at Crye-Leike looks forward to assisting with all your real estate needs on the Alabama Gulf Coast and we make a promise to provide our clients with the latest technology and discreet service they are looking for in an agency relationship. We never take for granted these wonderful beaches we get to call home and we look forward to sharing them with you!”
