Richard Sobin

Growing up in Saratoga, when Santa Clara County was still orchards and farms, Richard has seen this beautiful area grow to become a world-famous powerhouse, while maintaining its California charm. Richard has traveled its roads for most of his life and knows the area from both the buyer’s and seller’s points of view.

Richard started his career with his own retail businesses in the mid-70s, where he learned the importance of customer service. In 1986 he obtained his real estate license and found those same customer service skills are the basis of a successful real estate relationship. Listening to his clients and determining what is important to each person or family lets Richard represent his clients’ best interests and help them make the right decisions in the often-confusing world of real estate.

As a full-service realtor, Richard is always the person his clients deal with, from the very start of a transaction to the end. His clients are never handed off to an “associate” with less experience. Richard is here to help his clients navigate the process all the way through if they are first-time buyers. For his experienced and savvy investor clients, he makes sure they have all the information they need to make a good buy.

For sellers, Richard can help bring their homes to market in the best shape for commanding the best price. He has gathered a team of experienced professionals to advise his clients on upgrades, repairs, staging, marketing and more, to add value to their home and help it sell quickly.

Richard’s many repeat clients and referrals attest to the value of the personal service and integrity he brings to every transaction. He has sold homes through the good times and the downturn, maintaining continuity in a rapidly shifting marketplace. Even though Richard calls Santa Clara County home, he does business in San Mateo, Alameda and Santa Cruz Counties as well.
Richard has also been a licensed fitness trainer since 1994. Helping people achieve their goals gives him joy, whether it is getting fit or finding the home. Please contact Richard anytime and to talk about your real estate goals. His own goal is to be your personal real estate consultant for life!
