Bob and Rita Driver

“Character is what you do when no one's looking.”

When people think of power couples, they think of Bob and Rita Driver. They have made an impact on the Memphis real estate industry for nearly two decades, sharpening their skills, building networks, and making friends. But, the story of how they became The Driver Team is one worth knowing. It's one of inspiring works, sterling innovation, and unprecedented teamwork and vision.

Between the two of them, the Drivers lead with the willpower and efficiency of an organization much larger than their three-person operation. To understand how they do what they do, you have to understand how they became who they are. Both began their careers working for the City of Memphis: Bob was a firefighter and Rita was a police officer. Forever breaking boundaries, they sought success in one of the most challenge entrepreneurial ventures ever: real estate. Their path to the industry, though winding, serves as an exemplary model for any individual seeking success in life.

How exactly did a cop and a firefighter become legends in Memphis real estate? It involves dares, red-eye drives to Nashville, and business brilliance that outshines the competition. Meet Bob and Rita Driver, STAR POWER Stars for June 2010 and beyond.
