About Rick McGirt

Hi, I'm Rick McGirt. I help buyers discover which East Bay neighborhood fits their lifestyle, goals, and next chapter. Before real estate, I have spent more than 20 years leading complex programs in the biotech industry, where success depended on strategy, communication, and helping people make confident decisions. Today, I bring that same approach to real estate. Whether you're relocating from another city, buying your first luxury home, or trying to decide between Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, or Lamorinda, my role is to help you understand not just the house, but the lifestyle that comes with it. I believe buying a home should feel informed, strategic, and exciting—not overwhelming. My clients appreciate thoughtful guidance, strong negotiation, and a no-pressure approach focused on helping them find the right fit. Because the right neighborhood matters just as much as the right home.
