Richard was born into an English-speaking family and learned Spanish as a child. He pursued studies in Spanish in high school and college and lived in Mexico. He taught Spanish at university, junior college, high school, junior high school and elementary levels. He has pursued studies in gemology (gemstones and diamonds), studied medicine for three years, studied linguistics, traveled extensively in Mexico, Europe and Asia. For 15 years he has owned and operated America's most prestigious diamond cutting firm (EightStar Diamond). He has been active in real estate in California and Oregon for over 30 years. After receiving his real estate license, he chose Coldwell Banker to associate with in his most important career choice to date due to their sound institutional position in the business of real estate.
Richard is from the "old school" believing that no job is worth doing if you don't give it your all. When you buy or sell a property through him, you will see that he focuses on your needs in a way that will far exceed your expectations. You will receive service unlike anything you are accustomed to. You will bond in your real estate pursuit and he will bring your transaction to a conclusion that will satisfy and make a lifetime memory for you.
Richard loves Sonoma County. He has raised his family in the hills of Sebastopol and knows our area, its highlights, its school systems, its promises and the richness of its colorful history. He is supercharged by the redwoods, the amazing coast, the curvaceous California rolling hills, the valleys full of wine grapes, the gourmet, organic food farms, dairies, tourist Meccas, thriving cities and prospering businesses. Join him through Coldwell Banker in owning a piece of Sonoma County.
