They were very communicative and responsive to any questions we had, and their knowledge of trust sales made the process easier for us. They knew exactly which repairs and updates would bring the best return on investment and oversaw all the work, which resulted in a sale after just one open house weekend, with the house selling for over the asking price. Eric and Janelle were an absolute joy to work with, and we highly recommend them!

I cannot recommend the Boyenga team. What they'll tell you is that they sold our house 'with…read moremultiple offers'. What they won't tell you is that they mis-priced the house and that each offer was lower than the listing price. They also recommended a lawn maintenance service that did not maintain the lawn to our perfection. Finally, our house was located in a family-friendly neighborhood, in walking distance to an elementary, middle, and high-school. We saw no effort to emphasize the family friendly appeal of the house. We eventually sold the home. I think we could have sold it faster, with less stress, and at a higher price had we hired a different Realtor/real estate time,

Dale and Helen are truly in a league of their own. They are two of the hardest-working individuals…read morewe've ever worked with, and they pulled off a sale that most thought couldn't happen. They hosted open houses every week while the property was on the market, carried and staged furniture themselves, and always stayed in constant communication with us. When repairs came up during the listing, Dale and Helen took care of them right away. Their dedication and hands-on approach were absolutely key to making this sale happen -- especially during one of the toughest times to sell as a homeowner. These two are pure magic. If you need your property sold quickly, efficiently, and for top dollar, we 100% recommend them. My wife and I have bought and sold several properties, and without a doubt, Dale and Helen stand out by leaps and bounds above the rest.

I recently met with Dale Warfel to discuss a potential listing in Sunnyvale, and I was immediately…read moreimpressed. Dale is a Bay Area native with a deep understanding of the local market, and it shows in the way he approaches real estate. What stood out most to me was how attentive, honest, and caring he is. He really takes the time to listen, explain options clearly, and provide thoughtful advice. There's no fluff or salesy pressure. just straight, genuine guidance from someone who clearly knows his stuff and truly wants the best outcome for his clients. If you're selling a home, I would absolutely recommend Dale, he's the kind of agent who will work tirelessly to get you the best result. And if you're buying, I'd honestly hope he's the listing agent, because you'll know you're getting straightforward communication and professionalism. Dale is the kind of realtor you can trust, and in this market, that's priceless.

Sometimes, life can be rough and it's so important to find the right help. Last year, I was facing…read moreone of those rough periods when I did a blind search on Yelp to find a real estate agent to help us relocate from Oregon to the Peninsula in CA. My husband and I interviewed several agents and found ourselves choosing Jen because we got the sense that she was a kind person who also seemed to have a breadth of experience, a great deal of knowledge about the region and demonstrated professionalism and responsiveness. And wow, Jen has delivered in every way and more. She helped us narrow down our choices by sending listings and comparisons, giving us recommendations throughout San Jose and Morgan Hill. When we decided that Morgan Hill would better serve our needs and budget, we knew that Jen knew the town well. What we didn't expect was how well she had understood the kind of house, layout, size and flow that we wanted. I'll be honest and say that our house search and purchase was Hairy and in our desperation, we considered homes that were not a good match. Because we were located in OR, Jen made the effort of taking videos of homes, their layouts, the strong points, the low points, and sent them to us. We were texting, calling and emailing constantly and her responsiveness never stopped. She remained grounded, calm and reassuring when we became discouraged or afraid and skillfully let us know when a house we were considering didn't fulfill our original goals (i.e. bedrooms were small when seen in person or the house was on a busy part of the street). She understood the market and the right value of the houses and proved repeatedly how we could trust her to know our wants, deal gracefully and skillfully with awful selling agents, and temper our ups and downs. Jen is not only an impeccable real estate agent who knows the market and tracks your needs and wants closely, she is an incredibly generous, good person who has welcomed us to our new home and provided so many kindnesses. I give Jen the highest recommendation and thank her for giving such trustworthy guidance and refuge in the storm of a difficult interstate move.

After my parents passed, I had to sell the home I grew up in in San Jose, CA. I interviewed several realtors but never felt the connection I was looking for. Then I found a flyer, did some research, and called Andy and Ben. From our first meeting I knew they were the right choice -- genuine, trustworthy, and compassionate. They didn't just list the house -- they managed the entire process from start to finish. They coordinated: Cleanup and preparation Repairs and construction work Landscaping and restoration of my mom's garden Contractors and scheduling A detailed timeline with constant updates They provided a clear plan showing exactly what would be done and when, and they stuck to it. There were no surprises and they kept me informed every step of the way. Even more impressive, there were no upfront costs -- everything was handled through escrow at closing, which removed a huge amount of stress during a difficult time. Because of their networking and local knowledge of the area, they found a direct buyer before the home even hit the market, and it sold at top dollar! Andy and Ben truly went above and beyond. They treated my parents' home with care and respect, even planting beautiful new flowers in my mother's garden. I'm incredibly grateful for how smoothly they handled such an emotional process. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who wants professionals that genuinely care and take full responsibility for the job. -- Joe R.

The entire process was done remotely from out of state. Here are some of the highlights of my experience and why I'm adding to her list of 5 Star reviews. She adheres to her client's agreed upon timeline wishes. For me, I wanted prep and sale as quickly as possible. The day after the house was prepped and staged, buyers came in and I accepted a solid pre-market offer. If you need help prepping a house for sale, her team has all the contacts and can make a magic transformation happen quickly to get the best price for your home.

He gave his opinion, which was particularly helpful for us as we are new to the area (as well as the country), but worked with our preferences and comfort. There were a couple of times where we went back and forth and changed our minds. In all these scenarios, Robert was very understanding and always helped us iterate on our preferences and find a better house that matched our new preferences. Robert and his team also assertively provided information about certain areas which doesn't sell well. This was particularly helpful as we would have overbid on houses we thought were great, but ended up selling for significantly lower than asking price, which demonstrates Robert's expertise. Lastly, but importantly, Robert also helped us with the right contacts to make minor repairs to our new place once we moved in and helped us with all sorts of silly questions that first time homeowners have!

We initially spoke with him before signing on with Real Estate 38, and as first-time home buyers, he really helped put our minds at ease and gave us the confidence we needed to navigate what was, at the time, the most expensive purchase of our lives. Shilpa, who we worked with more closely throughout both home purchases, is knowledgeable, responsive, and always looking out for her clients' best interests. At the same time, she's realistic and honest about the situation. She follows through on her commitments, stays on top of every detail, and is always on time and prepared. We trusted her completely throughout both transactions and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.

We spoke a few times over the phone before meeting at the property, and I made sure to really evaluate him professionally.

To his credit, Rob handled everything with patience and composure. He never lost his cool, and he clearly explained his strategy in a way that was bold, logical, and confident. That's what convinced me he'd be just as strong when it came to negotiating--and he proved that right. Within just a few days of the property being ready, he brought in multiple offers and guided me through the entire process smoothly. In the end, he helped me net the most dollar possible within my timeline, and even set a new record for the complex. On top of that, he successfully handled my 1031 exchange and secured a strong investment property for me within the required timeframe. That's not easy to do, and it speaks to both his experience and attention to detail. Overall, I was really impressed with Rob's professionalism, integrity, strategy, and negotiating skills. I'll absolutely continue working with him and honestly, I'm just glad he's on my side of the deal--not the other side. It's great knowing I now have a go-to professional I can rely on long term.
