COVER STORY
Bobby Bryant - iBuy
A Revolutionary Platform for the Next Generation
in Pursuit of the American Dream
By Barbara R. Davis and Colleen O’Brien
B
obby Bryant has never been a status quo kind of
guy. From the time he was a young man, it was ingrained in him by his father to, “Stand apart. Don’t
look like everybody else.” In addition, his mother
instilled in him the importance of a strong work
ethic. As a result, everything Bobby has achieved
in life is the result of his persistent determination
to work hard, work smart, and above all, never be
ordinary. Years of research, introspection, and lessons learned
have culminated in Bobby creating iBuy Realty and iBuy Pros,
a revolutionary platform for the next generation in pursuit of
the American Dream of home ownership. The late Zig Ziglar
always said, “You can have everything in life you want if you
will just help enough other people get what they want.” Not
only has Bobby Bryant figured out a terrific way to do that,
he is leveraging technology and passing the savings on to
consumers with his free MLS access for those who are selling a house.
Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Bobby was three
when his father, a Sergeant in the Air Force, was transferred to Clark Air Force Base on Luzon Island in the
Philippines. Not long after their arrival, Bobby’s little
sister was born. Bryant, his sister, and parents stayed
there for three years until his father was again transferred, this time to Biloxi, Mississippi. Ultimately, his
family settled sixty miles away in Mobile, Alabama
and lived there through the time Bobby became an
adult. Throughout high school, Bobby played football
and in typical fashion, worked so hard to do his very
best that he ended up getting a scholarship to college
where he played two years at Troy State University as
a wide receiver. “I believe playing sports gives one a
mental competitive advantage,” expressed Bobby.
