Bob Mirman - CEO

As Founder and CEO, Robert Mirman directs the development and administration of consumer research for home builders across the nation.

Originally trained as a clinical psychologist, Bob spent eight very chilly years in Minneapolis with General Mills, responsible for the development of systems used to evaluate and influence consumer preferences. Bob is now recognized as one of the building industry’s top authorities on consumer-driven residential design and general consumer preference and behavior, and is often referred to as the “Dean of Homebuyer Research.”

Bob has published numerous textbook chapters on the subject of performance improvement in sales organizations and has served on the Board of Editors of the Journal of Organizational Behavior Management. In additional to his column, “From the Buyer’s Perspective”, which appeared regularly in Builder Digest, he has published over 75 articles pertaining to the management of consumer behavior.

Bob is an active member of the Building Industry Association and the Southern California Sales and Marketing Council, and is a sought after and frequent speaker at IBS, WBS/PCBC, Big Builder and other builder conferences.

The consumer data developed by Eliant is often used as a resource by BUILDER and Big Builder magazines, the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times and other key publications. As well, Mr. Mirman and the Eliant team co-authored a series of three annual Big Builder issues pertaining to buyer experience management, with record-breaking reprint requests.
