Charlie has worked in the real estate field since 2002 and brings with him a true affinity for working with people. He enjoys meeting the challenges of the high-paced, competitive real estate market in San Francisco. His focus is primarily on residential real estate throughout the City – single-family homes, condos, 2-4 unit buildings and investment property. Paramount to my success is defining my clients’ needs and objectives and achieving them through persistence, hard work and integrity.

Charlie is a 14-year resident of San Francisco, having previously lived in Boston for 10 years and New York City for 5 years. He grew up in Bristol, CT, where he graduated with honors. Charlie was employed by Marriott Hotels International in Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco, as Senior Event Manager for more than 20 years. During his last 10 years with Marriott Charlie planned and coordinated the events for conventions, as liaison between Marriott’s top national clients and the hotel staff. Charlie feels his experience in the service/hospitality industry continues to benefit him greatly in assisting his clients to achieve their real estate goals.

Charlie believes that Herth Real Estate has the unique combination of a personal and diverse group of professionals, with tremendous support for each other and terrific management. Charlie is proud to be part of the Herth organization, a company with a long-honored presence in San Francisco and a history of contributing to the whole of San Francisco.

Testimonial

"Charlie helped us to find a beautiful property that was beyond our expectations. In a tough market like San Francisco’s, it made all the difference in the world to have his expertise and guidance. He was always available, and no question was ever too basic. Charlie also educated us on complicated issues such as condo conversion and tenant concerns.

One of Charlie’s best qualities during this process was definitely his patience. With 3 of us involved in buying the property, Charlie helped us come to consensus and to move forward quickly and efficiently, without ruffling any feathers. We always had the most current listings and he was always available to drive us to the properties on tours. All in all, the potentially stressful process of buying a home was made much easier by Charlie. We will highly recommend him to friends who are searching for a home, and we plan to use him for all of our future real estate needs."

"As first-time home buyers looking for a TIC property, we needed a trusted guide to help us through the legal, financial, and "political" complexities of the San Francisco market. For us, Charlie was that guide. From pre-emptive bidding strategy to explaining the basics of escrow, Charlie provided insights and answers to all of our countless questions.

Charlie worked with us to "do it our way" – continuously asking for our input so that he could hone in on listings that were right for us. During our search, Charlie was incredibly flexible, quickly shifting to accommodate our changing needs and desires as we assessed the various tradeoffs. He helped us keep our optimism and sense of humor when the going got tough, gently dissuaded us from overly-emotional decisions, and gave us the information we needed to make sound, rational choices.

As a result, we're now the proud owners of a new home that is exactly what we wanted – thanks in large part to Charlie. We can't thank him enough, and recommend him highly to anyone who is house-hunting in the Bay Area."

"Charlie exhibited professional growth and discernment; and he kept a finger on the pulse of the market, the pulse of our needs and values, and the pulse of his service.

We are very excited. We can't believe we're really home owners, after so much time thinking about it and working toward it! Thanks for being the amazingly steady force throughout the process...and, of course, the perfect gentleman. We wouldn't have gotten this place without you!"
