Highly regarded by clients and industry peers alike, Tom Baumgartner has represented buyers and sellers of San Francisco real estate with distinction and care since 2003. His in-depth market knowledge, use of cutting-edge technology resources, finely tuned negotiating skills, and vast experience with contract and escrow management are winning combinations in our fast-paced, competitive, and sophisticated market.

Tom's past experience in corporate marketing, public relations, and non-profit donor development lend a unique skill set to his business practice. His successful tenures with NYC-based luxury firms Tiffany & Co., Harry Winston, and Sotheby's, give Tom a unique perspective on high-end property evaluation, market trends, and superior customer service.

Originally from New York and a graduate of NYU, Tom has called Northern California his home since 1997. Following a Napa Valley stint with Michelin-starred restaurants, The French Laundry and Bouchon, Tom relocated to his current home in San Francisco’s Sunset District.

After securing his real estate sales license in 2003, Tom enjoyed a highly successful 14-year association with Zephyr Real Estate (now Corcoran Global Living), followed by a five-year tenure with Redfin. Tom is thrilled to now be a part of Vanguard Properties Castro Team.
