Richard Hottinger

Richard has enjoyed exceptional success and delivered outstanding results to his discerning clientele since becoming a residential real estate sales professional nearly 20 years ago. He ranks in an elite tier (top 1%) of agents nationwide and heads the top-producing Hottinger Team which has closed an impressive $1 billion+ in property sales to date.

Specializing in the desirable Manhattan and Miami markets, The Hottinger Team offers a full spectrum of real estate offerings spanning luxury rentals to high-end resales. Richard further capitalized on his industry-leading track record, and former role as sales director, to excel in new development. His team has served as the exclusive sales agents for several major projects, and sold-out multiple buildings in record time.

Richard is a connoisseur when it comes to finding and marketing the finest luxury residences and investments. He is there through the entire lifecycle of one’s real estate needs, whether it be helping to secure that perfect first home, representing a trophy listing, or advising on new development strategy. Domestic and international clients repeatedly praise him saying, “You’re the only person I want on my side–every time,” as they appreciate his laser focus, clear communication, powerful negotiating, and relentless pursuit of the best outcome possible.

Proven expertise in both the resale and new development sectors, extensive knowledge across the New York and Florida markets, and global real estate experience in London, England and Geneva, Switzerland, afford Richard a rare, invaluable perspective. His stellar reputation is backed by years of high-volume transactions, as well as uncompromising communication and transparency, and a loyal customer base built on deep relationships.

Born in New York and raised in Geneva, Switzerland, Richard speaks French and English fluently. He holds a Bachelor of Finance degree from Manhattanville College and has a strong background in banking and finance, fueling his understanding of how markets move, how investments grow, and how to structure winning deals. “I approach every transaction with the mindset that my clients’ success becomes my legacy, and treat each deal as if it were my own.”

Richard lives and owns apartments in Gramercy, NY, and Miami Beach, FL. Outside of work, he loves spending time with his very sassy Pug, Nala, who he adores.
