Thank you for visiting my personal web site.  

I started selling luxury properties in 1978.

In 1994 I co founded Ritchie Hallanan Real Estate and we developed that brokerage into an office of 30 sales people in San Francisco and a satellite office in St. Helena, Ca. We sold the first $10 Million Dollar home in San Francisco in early 2000.  

We sold the company to Alain Pinell Realtors in April of 2007.

In 2009 I co founded Laurel Village Realtors located on the second floor in Laurel Village.  We were a boutique firm specializing in residential homes, condominiums, and residential development.

The pandemic of 2020 changed everything and technology transformed how, when and where we sell Real Estate in San Francisco. To keep up I moved to Compass in January of 2025 to take advantage of their real estate platform and services such as real estate concierge, accounting, risk management and an entrepreneurial spirit that has helped us capture a majority of the real estate market in San Francisco. These services are second to none.

Thanks for visiting. I can still be reached at 415-244-2592 or by email at david@davidpapale.com.
