About Richard

I am not only a real estate broker, but a licensed attorney, skilled in the art of negotiation which is crucial in today's ever-changing and challenging market. With an unrelenting resolution to be the best, I strive for excellence as a real estate and legal professional. You can be assured to find an attitude of excellence, a commitment to personal service, a foundation of knowledge, a solid reputation and proven performance. Few brokers have had the kind of success that I have in last 16 years; the combined total for the Woods Real Estate Services’ team exceeds $243,000,000 in real estate sold and over 575 total properties sold. Furthermore, this extraordinary team of 10 outstanding individuals has over 90 years of combined real estate sales experience in the San Diego community. My family has been in sales and customer service for over 30 years. Growing up in Virginia Beach, Virginia, my parents instilled a strong sense of being a part of a community, not just living in and taking from it, but giving back to it and providing extraordinary service. My family operated Kempsville Family Roller Skating Center in Virginia Beach for over 30 years as a proud member of the community. Following graduation from law school, I worked for the prestigious law firm of Jackson & Campbell in Washington, DC, working primarily in insurance litigation. That experience gave me an extensive knowledge of contract law which as translated well to real estate transactions. After several years as a top litigating attorney in DC, I moved to San Diego. I worked with Lynberg & Watkins in their Orange County office doing an array of defense work for Southern California municipalities, including contract law cases and real estate transactions.

A Fantastic Advocate

A Fantastic Advocate

I contracted with Richard to handle a private real estate transaction negotiation. It was a complicated deal that went on far longer than everyone involved anticipated. Richard’s leadership, tenacity and expertise were unrivaled . He was patient and accommodating to both me and the buyer. I’m convinced the deal would not have closed without him. I highly recommend Richard and his team for both broker and legal services.

Thank you for everything!

Thank you for everything!

Not every real estate agent is the same and after this experience, I can definitely say that the right team makes ALL the difference! 🏡 Richard Woods and his team bring so much knowledge about the neighborhoods, rules, regulations, and all the little details you don’t even think to ask about. Their expertise guided us through the entire process and helped make sure we got the best deal while still finding a home that checked all the boxes on my wish list. A huge thank you to Josh Matiyow and Richard Woods for all of their hard work, patience, and dedication. They somehow managed to find exactly what I wanted… even when I wasn’t entirely sure what that was! 😂 And the best part? I’ve absolutely come to love my new neighborhood. ❤️ I honestly wouldn’t be nearly as happy with my new home without all of their help and guidance along the way. If you’re looking for a team that truly knows what they’re doing, listens to what you want, and has your best interests at heart, I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you, Richard and Josh, for making the whole experience such a positive one!

Great Realtor to work with!

Great Realtor to work with!

Richard is a very knowledgeable Realtor and easy to get along with. He really knows his stuff! I've used him twice in the last 3 years and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again. Though we had a couple hiccups with communication, some of it was not his fault, as he was having a hard time getting the buyer's agent to respond to us. I highly recommend Richard for all of your real estate needs!

Excellent first home buying experience

Excellent first home buying experience

This was my first home purchase. Richard was great at making sure I understood each step of the process and answered all my questions clearly. I always felt well represented and advised. He's also just a kind and polite person to work with. Whenever the time comes for my next real estate purchase, Richard will be the first person I call.
