For more than 20 years, John Genovese and Richard Lester have had a driving passion for Real Estate. Their seasoned backgrounds date back to the 1980s: Richard as a top producing agent in Toronto and John managing large scale, multi-family residential developments in Silicon Valley and San Francisco. They were introduced at the Russian River in the 1990s when Richard was adding vacation rental pro

perties to his San Francisco portfolio. Together they sparked a collaborative union involving Real Estate in San Francisco and Sonoma County that spans nearly every classification including apartment buildings, commercial properties, small business, single family residences and condominium ownership. In 2004, they opened the Russian River / Wine Country sales office in Guerneville and established an innovative and fresh approach to marketing vacation homes to San Francisco buyers and sellers. As Your City+Country Connection®, they immediately captured the dominant market presence in both sales volume and esteemed reputation for care, honesty, integrity and loyalty. Today, Richard and John enjoy their affiliation with Vanguard Properties where they can seamlessly combine their experience and love of San Francisco and Sonoma Wine Country to achieve top results for their clients. Their prevailing skill sets are balanced by John's insight into technology as well as his ability to drive the marketing and sales process, and Richard's interpersonal care, keen financial awareness and savvy negotiation techniques. They continue to enjoy investment properties and personal residences in San Francisco, Sonoma Wine Country and the Sonoma Coast. They are active members of the National Association of REALTORS; California Association of REALTORS; San Francisco Association of REALTORS and the North Bay Association of REALTORS.

🚐 We’re Back! — From Van Life to Bay Life!

After nearly 2,000 miles, countless sunsets, and a fair share of campfire tomfoolery, we’ve officially traded the van keys back for our house keys! We took the last few months to recharge, driving through the breathtaking parks of California, the rugged beauty of Arizona & the brilliant colors of New Mexico. We’ve been living small on the road, which has reminded us that "home" is a feeling you carry with you—but having a physical place to plant your roots is where the real magic happens.

To all of our friends & clients: we’ve missed you! We are returning with full hearts, clear minds, and a serious sense of gratitude!

🌲 Your City - Country Connection

Please spread the word that whether you’re looking for a cool flat in the City or a magical retreat along the Russian River, we are officially back and ready to dive into the 2026 market.

• Refreshed Perspective: Seeing the country reminded us why there’s truly no place like the Bay Area.
• Renewed Energy: We are hitting the ground running and ready to negotiate the best deals.
• Remote & Ready: We’re back in our home rhythm, fueled up and ready to help you navigate your next move.

Let’s make 2026 your best year yet!
