Considered to be one of San Francisco's most respected Realtors, Richard Bastoni entered the business in 1968. In 1969 he founded his own brokerage and under his leadership created a highly respected real estate company in the City.

In 1989, after 20 years of managing his own brokerage, Richard sold his company and returned to his passion--residential real estate sales. He immediately established himself as a top salesperson, specializing in San Francisco's most exclusive properties.

Richard is well-known as an authority in the complex field of condominium and cooperative conversions and sales. His knowledge of design, planning and development, working through the intricacies of city requirements, and marketing and advertising is unparalleled. Two of his more distinguished conversions include the 235-unit Gramercy Towers and 10 Miller Place. His sales record of closing escrow on more than 200 units in one day in the Gramercy Towers remains unchallenged.

Over the years, Richard has successfully negotiated numerous sales in The Royal Towers, The Summit, The Comstock, The Greenhill Towers, The Nob Hill, 1200 California Street, The Francesca and many other fine buildings. His expertise in handling the multitude of details on condominium and cooperative sales is relied upon by Sellers, Buyers, and cooperating brokers alike. His experience also encompasses the sale of many fine homes in Pacific Heights, Presidio Heights, Russian Hill, Nob Hill, Telegraph Hill, and Saint Francis Wood.

A consistent Top Producer at McGuire Real Estate since 1995, Richard was recently recognized as a McGuire Partner(TM); one of just 11 agents to earn this designation.

He is a life long patron of the arts and he a Darla support the San Francisco Opera Center and the Merola Opera Program.
