Richard Petersen

He was born and raised in Sonoma County and attended college in San Diego. After graduation he worked for a number of computer companies, including spending 10 years at Apple Computer. His ten years at Apple were filled with new learning experiences and permitted him to travel to Japan on multiple occasions in order to work with Japanese companies on securing parts and documentation to support the introduction of new Apple Products.
After his tenure at Apple Computer, he spend 5 Years in Silicon Valley working with large OEMs, like Cisco, Apple Computer, Sun Microsystems on recycling their electronic scrap material. His company was at the forefront in providing these companies with a safe and secure way to recycle their unused / obsolete parts, while giving them the added security that their proprietary parts were not being sold in secondary sales channels.

In 2001, he moved his wife and two children back to Sonoma County and began his career in Real Estate. He has not looked back... He enjoys the interaction with his clients and the joy in helping them achieve their goals, whether buying or selling a home! Communication is key in the Real Estate game and creates a “bond” between the client and the agent that provides for a successful sale.

He works in both the Sebastopol Market, including Santa Rosa and Bodega Bay, and the Healdsburg Market where the discriminating buyers can find that special property with gorgeous vineyard views! As your real estate agent he will be honest, ethical and professional in all our dealings. He will negotiate for you and attempt to gain you the best possible advantage in your escrow.
