Opened in 1965 and located in the heart of the Castro District of San Francisco, Herth Real Estate is one of the largest and oldest independent brokerages in the City.  Throughout its 41 year history, Herth Real Estate has held a place among the Bay Area’s top real estate companies. The firm specializes in fine residential homes, condominiums and multifamily properties located throughout the diverse and dynamic neighborhoods of the City.

While more and more independently owned real estate brokerages have merged with large corporations, Herth Real Estate continues to flourish as one of the few remaining boutique residential brokerages. The firm has grown based on the philosophy of founder, Ray Herth: the business of selling or buying a home should be placed in the hands of real estate experts who are a part of the community.

In 2004, Herth Real Estate opened its doors to a second office in the Northern California Wine Country region.  Known simply as “Herth Wine Country”, this office took virtually no time to establish itself as one of the leading brokerages in the area.  Within one year, Herth Wine Country had gained a significant market share and earned a fine reputation.  Located in downtown Guerneville, this office displays the same warm and friendly atmosphere found in our San Francisco location.  Our skilled sales associates are all local to the area, and are well versed in the intricacies of buying and selling real estate in the Northern California Wine Country region.

Herth Real Estate's excellent reputation is founded on establishing long-term relationships with clients based on trust and high ethical standards. The unique firm's team of 50 Realtors is a bright, professional group of highly productive agents with a sales volume over $227,000,000 in 2006.  Herth Real Estate looks forward to experiencing continued dynamic growth while maintaining its unique ability to provide ethical and individualized professional service to all of its clients.
