About Us

Bob Clausen began his association with Marco Island for the Deltona franchised dealer in Venezuela. It was this dealership that sold the first 10 lots on Marco Island in 1965. From 1970 to 1985, Bob was a dealer with the oldest and largest franchise Deltona had overseas. He was also a dealer in Wisconsin. "When I first came here in 1967 there was only one condominium on the beach," Bob said. A full-time resident since 1983, Bob has owned property on Marco since 1976. Today, he also owns Clausen Properties, Inc. which specializes in the international market. His wife Rosina works with him as does his son Ian who specializes in new sales.

"We take care of all aspects of real estate, " said Bob. "We are full service Brokers; sales, research, and management services for all types of properties to assure maximum return for our clients." Bilingual in English and Spanish, he said although he advertises Clausen Properties locally and throughout the world, most of his business comes from referrals.

Originally from Rockford, Illinois, Bob graduated from Marquette University in Milwaukee with a bachelor's degree in English. After serving three years as an officer in the United States Army, he began selling real estate for Deltona. "It's been a wonderful opportunity," he said. "I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I first saw Marco." Having lived in or traveled to the West Indies, the Middle East, South America and Europe, Bob has found no better place to live or work than Marco Island.



Ian Clausen joined Clausen Properties, Inc. in 2004 following a dynamic, 10-year sales career in companies such as Descartes Systems Group, The Aberdeen Group and SemiXchange, Inc.

Domestically, Ian has lived in Boston, Orlando, Dallas and, most recently, Coral Gables (Miami).

As a Realtor Associate, Ian currently focuses on new sales and rentals. He draws on family ties to Marco Island through the Deltona Corporation. His Father worked for the oldest and largest franchise Deltona had overseas, which sold the first ten lots on Marco Island in 1965. Fluent in Spanish, Ian assists Spanish-speaking clients introducing them to Marco Island and Naples.

Ian received his baccalaureate from Stetson University in Florida. In 2006 he was a member of the Marco Island Area Association of Realtors Leadership class. He received his Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI) designation in 2009, and has been Co-Chair of the Professional Standards Committee since 2007.
