Co-Hosts of Hometown Heroes Escondido
Welcome to Escondido Hometown Heroes!
We’re not just real estate professionals—we’re business partners who share a passion for people, local connection, and building community through service.
As longtime North County residents, we both deeply value what makes Escondido so special. It’s a town full of creativity, grit, and heart—and we created Escondido Hometown Heroes to celebrate the people who bring that spirit to life every day.
Together, we lead Premier Property Partners, an elite team powered by eXp Realty. Shirin brings a client-first, relationship-driven approach to every transaction, while Rich brings more than a decade of high-level brokerage leadership—most recently leading San Diego Homes & Estates to over $1.5 billion in annual sales volume. With the transition to eXp Realty, we’ve united our strengths to better serve clients, agents, and our community with next-level tools and a forward-thinking mindset.
Our mission is simple:
Elevate local stories
Empower everyday heroes
And provide real estate services that are personal, powerful, and grounded in trust
Whether you’re here to explore inspiring stories or learn more about how we can help you buy or sell in Escondido, we’re so glad you stopped by.
