★★★★★
"Rita represented us on our latest home purchase. We had tried working with a few other agents prior to finding her and Rita stood out in many ways: she encouraged us to pass on bad deals (this was when the market was peaking), though this meant more work and hunting for her. She was thoughtful about analyzing each property's ability to hold value, which she knew mattered to us as we may not be here for more than 5 years. She also has a very warm personality and sense of humor which goes a long way in such a stressful process. Highly recommend. " - Christi Opitz

"Rita Intardonato (or just Rita) was a phenomenal resource when we bought our home in Palo Alto. She was attentive to our needs, knowledgeable about the market and handled all of the details. I would highly recommend working with Rita, and her team! " - Alison Weinberg-Fahey

"We worked (and still work) with Rita Intardonato multiple times on the buyer’s side and have only excellent things to say. From day 1, she was transparent and trustworthy - always an advocate for us without any pressure. She considered our lifestyles and family situation in connection with each listing and gave valuable feedback (some which we hadn’t previously considered). She’s also a generally awesome person to be around - makes the stress and frustration of home shopping bearable (and even fun(ny)). Highly recommend! " - Vi Hua

Education
Rita, a native New Yorker, got her MA from Teachers College at Columbia University. She spent over 6 years teaching English in Tokyo, Japan before returning to New York City. While Rita was lecturing in the American Language Program at her alma mater, she was recruited by the CEO and founder of JD.com, a Fortune 500 company with a market cap of over $100 billion. She spent 3 years working in Beijing, acting as executive assistant and foreign liaison, which also included overseeing the purchase of property as well as estate management internationally.
Often visiting Silicon Valley for business, Rita fell in love with the sunshine, nature, and entrepreneurial energy of the area and decided to officially relocate in 2017. She continued estate management in addition to acting as executive assistant to the CEO and founder of Houzz, headquartered in Palo Alto.
Having already dabbled in many aspects of the real estate process, Rita felt it an organic career pivot and one that had been calling her for several years. She believes that a home purchase is a high stakes and emotional decision that is deserving of the same level of due diligence and elevated support she is so accustomed to providing.
With an unflappable work ethic and a data-driven approach to meet the needs of her sophisticated Silicon Valley clients, Rita was able to exceed $100M in residential real estate transactions within the first 1 1⁄2 years of being licensed. She approaches real estate with an academic sensibility and studies her market, so that she can instill confidence in her clients and provide creative and effective strategies to reach the finish line.
She is proud to be a member of the reSolve Group who share the same principled approach to the business that is deeply rooted in relationships where quality will always supersede quantity.
Rita lived in Atherton for 4 years and now resides in Menlo Park with her partner Guillaume (owner of local Palo Alto restaurant Zola), stepson Jeffrey, and their beloved rescue pup. She is an avid traveler, reader, and architectural/interiors enthusiast. Rita loves exploring her own community and staying abreast of local politics and events, but sees an ideal evening as good food and wine with clients, friends, and family.
