Swimming serves as an apt symbol of Rick Avery's admirable level of dedication and ambition. Five days a week, or more, he’s up at dawn to swim the bay — a routine he doesn’t break regardless of season. Rick brings this same level of fierce commitment and tenacity to his real estate clients.

Each morning, when he takes in the breathtaking view of the city from the water, he’s reminded of what a privilege it is to live here and inspired to help others achieve the exceptional lifestyle San Francisco affords. Over the last 13 years, Rick has established a sterling reputation as an ambitious and diligent agent with unsurpassed knowledge of the Bay Area market. He lived in SF for 16 years and has owned a home in Sonoma for the past 5 years. He excels by being patient, caring and working at his clients’ pace. "I try to make it easy for folks to complete one of the most significant and important transactions they’ll ever make," he says.

A Connecticut native, Rick resided in New York City before making the move to the West Coast. He holds a degree in accounting from Georgetown University and worked at the prestigious Price Waterhouse after graduation. Rick has been a member of the renown Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club for 14 years. When he's not in the water, he enjoys running, hiking and playing with his dog Bruno.
