Swapping Closets' founder Robbie Emge

Colorado native Robbie Emge is a woman of many talents and passions, and one whose professional pursuits are balanced with her commitment to family and her charitable spirit.

Raised in Colorado Springs, Robbie has spent the last 18 years in Northern Colorado where she has established herself as an accomplished Realtor with Re/Max Alliance in Loveland and as a fashion-conscious entrepreneur. She founded her company Swapping Closets, an upscale clothing exchange, in 2009 to give women a fun social outlet that offers an economical alternative to pricey “retail therapy” and a way for women to give back to their community. Each Swapping Closets event raises money for a select local non-profit organization.

As a Realtor in the Northern Colorado market since 2003, Robbie has maintained an active role in the national Women’s Council of Realtors (WCR). She has held various positions since 2005 including the Northern Colorado President-elect, Northern Colorado President, Northern Colorado Vice President of Membership and Colorado State President. Her real estate knowledge is coupled with a background in banking: Emge served as an internal auditor and branch manager for World Savings bank before becoming a full-time mom and home-school teacher to daughter, Korrie, and son, Kyle.

Today Robbie enjoys spending time with her husband of 27 years, Marty, and reveling in the accomplishments of their now-grown children. Korrie is 23, married and living in Denver. Kyle is 19 and attending Denver’s Regis University on a soccer/academic scholarship.

When Robbie isn’t playing the role of business woman, volunteer, Realtor or mom, she can be found embracing an active lifestyle that includes running half marathons, trail running, boating and skiing.
