Richard Burton is a native Angeleno who was raised in the historic Rossmoyne district of Glendale. The son of a motion picture set designer, he was given an early appreciation for design and architecture. Through the years this appreciation grew to a passion.
Prior to his work in real estate, Richard worked as a cameraman with a specialization in aerial cinematography. Concurrently to his fieldwork, he cofounded and managed multiple motion picture equipment rental businesses and consulted on the development of groundbreaking gyro-stabilized camera systems. He is particularly proud of his work on the BBC Natural History documentaries “Planet Earth” and “Frozen Planet” for which he received two Emmy’s. In the course of his film career he worked on hundreds of documentaries, commercials and major motion pictures.
After purchasing a Pacific Palisades, mid-century modern home in 1997 with his wife Erika, he developed a passion for real estate and assisted multiple friends and family members in their home purchases in a non-realtor capacity. “Our homes are such a major part of who we are, and they shape and color our lives and our children’s lives in such a magnificent way. It’s very exciting and rewarding to be a part of that process.”
Richard strongly values honesty, loyalty, and integrity and possesses unbridled enthusiasm -- traits that made Partners Trust a perfect home for his work in real estate. “In representing you in your real estate transactions, it is my goal to exceed your expectations and leave you looking forward to future endeavors with me.”
Some of Richard’s other interests include Los Angeles history, technology, travel, gourmet food & wine, cooking, photography, health & fitness, skiing, swimming, cycling (all types), and animals. Richard lives with his wife and two dogs in Pacific Palisades.
