Here are the three principles that have guided Bob along his entrepreneurial journey, each of which is woven into every thread of RD Scinto Inc.’s operations.

1. Compassion 

From a very young age, Bob learned the importance of being compassionate to others by observing the way his father helped his customers with plumbing repairs. 

When he thinks back on his career, one experience, in particular, stands out in his mind. Early on, Bob was called to unclog a toilet for a mother who had three crying kids in her apartment because they couldn’t use the toilet. After the job was complete, the mother was so incredibly thankful for Bob’s help. Her appreciation had a profound impact on Bob. 

When he was just beginning his career, Bob brought a camera along with him to his plumbing jobs so he could take pictures of people he saw around Bridgeport to understand their emotions, problems, and what made them happy. By being able to see things from their perspective, Bob was able to provide better services to these customers. Following in his father’s footsteps, Bob makes a conscious effort to become more compassionate every day. 

2. Service

Bob believes that, when you serve others, great things can happen.

“Being of service to others is the number one call to any business,” Bob explains. “Anyone is capable of leading a wonderful, successful life if you dedicate your life to serving others.”

3. Imagination

Bob believes imagination is crucial to the success of any business career. By envisioning yourself as a better business person, you increase the likelihood that’s what you’ll become. 

“See what you are, become what you see,” Bob explains.

Bob also maintains that you need to know the 5 F’s in order to be successful in real estate. 

“You gotta have fun, you gotta be friendly, you gotta act fast, you have to be focused, and flexible,” he says.
