Nicole and Carol are a great team and we highly recommend that you choose them as your trusted real…read moreestate agents! We started working with Nicole over two years ago as a referral from a close friend who spoke very highly of her. As first time home buyers, my husband and I were basically clueless and had no idea just how complex the Bay Area real estate market is. Nicole helped us navigate these waters with ease, and educated us about the complexities of disclosure packets and purchase contracts well in advance so that when the time finally came, we'd be familiar with such detailed documents. Pre-covid, Nicole spent an entire Saturday driving us to houses in various neighborhoods so that we could see what different cities offered and to help us narrow down our home search based on what we saw. We also attended several open houses together and she always kept an eye out for homes that fit our criteria and attended broker tours on our behalf. We also continued working with Nicole throughout the pandemic and experienced first hand how the original interaction model had to change. Without any open houses, I felt like Nicole had to pour even more time into our search because covid policies required individual appointments to view each home. Nicole was patient with us as we viewed what seemed like 20+ homes during a nine month period. She is respectful of your opinions, but will also share her professional opinion when requested. We ultimately found a home and throughout the entire closing process, not only did Nicole help us, but so did her team. We were in the best of hands and there weren't any hiccups. Together, this team guided us every step of the way with constant communication. DocuSign was used to electronically sign all documents and keys were left in a lockbox when the home was officially ours! In fact, with their help, we were able to close a week earlier than expected! As you can tell, we obviously spent a lot of time with Nicole (she was stuck with us for two years!) and we enjoyed every minute of it. She's great to be around and extremely insightful. Finally, I want to share a story from when my husband and I first started going to open houses a few years ago. When we told other agents who our realtors were (we just would say "carol and Nicole") and they *always* knew who we were talking about. Nicole and Carol have created a reputation that is built upon trust, professionalism and extensive market-specific knowledge.

I was working with a different agent previously and it was not a good relationship, but switched over to have Nicole assist me after recommendations from people at work. Nicole was super patient and took me around to view multiple listings on our first appointment. She was super knowledgeable about the area having more than 20 years of experience. She also walked me through all that I needed to know as a first time buyer, and quickly built trust and made me feel comfortable with her representing me. At every step of the process, she personally walked me through it, explaining to me what all the documents in the housing disclosure package were for, and what I should be looking out for. Most importantly, she was always on my side. Nicole and Carol work together as team and I can't recommend them enough! I will definitely be working with them again in future!

What stood out most was how prepared they were. They came in with a clear plan, which made it easy for us to coordinate our own move around it. When it came to prepping the house, they were thoughtful, suggesting only the improvements that would actually move the needle, then connecting us with the right people to execute them. The DeLeon design team's staging felt like it belonged in the house rather than being dropped in from a showroom. It complemented what was already there rather than overwriting it. Closing was smooth, with Audrey and Karen keeping us informed at every step. If you're thinking about listing, call Audrey. We couldn't recommend her more.

The communication was clear throughout, and the team's ability to stick to the project calendar--from repairs to closing--was much appreciated.

Between the high-quality staging and Francis's work with the buyer agents, the sale was handled very professionally. The team was also very easy to work with throughout the process. Highly recommended for prospective sellers.

We've now worked with Amar and Sri three times, and this was our first experience selling a home…read more From start to finish, the process was smooth, satisfying, and truly stress-free. Amar often says he treats every home as if it were his own--and he genuinely lives up to that promise. He never compromises on effort, and his dedication was evident at every stage of the selling process. The results we achieved speak for themselves. Given the challenging market conditions--geopolitical uncertainties and layoffs across Bay Area tech companies--selling a home was far from easy. Despite this, Amar executed an exceptional marketing strategy that drove strong foot traffic during open houses and helped us find the right buyer. Even after going under contract, Amar proactively managed every challenge that arose, ensuring a seamless path to closing. His professionalism, persistence, and attention to detail made all the difference. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had both Amar and Sri as our realtors, and we highly recommend them.

We were overwhelmed with the process when we started our home-buying journey with open houses…read more One of our friends recommended Amar and Sri as top realtors. We have received the best service since day one. They put us at ease and held our hands throughout the journey. Amar prepared a complete layout of step-by-step milestones, which helped clear the roadmap. We would find new houses weekly and share our thoughts with Sri for her review. Sri was always available and guided us when we chose the neighborhood. She also helped focus on the right aspects. Amar and Sri also connected us with lenders and guided us through securing a mortgage loan. Once we finalized the house to put an offer on, Amar went through all the disclosures in depth. He presented all the foundational and structural aspects, showcasing his expertise. His excellent negotiations ultimately helped secure the house of our dreams. After that, escrow took a few weeks to close, and even after closing, Amar and Sri helped guide us through the next steps. Overall, the seemingly overwhelming process of buying a house was made much easier with the trusted expertise of Amar and Sri, and we will forever be grateful!

A few years ago, due to life circumstances, I had to sell a house after owning it for a few years. I was worried that either it wouldn't sell or that I would lose money overall. When I first spoke with Wen, she reassured me right away that it will sell and that her team had great strategies to do so. They are fast and responsive and got to work right away. They excelled at marketing, making the most out of all real estate app platforms and different types of media to make your home stand out, and these things do matter. There were minor hiccups with communicating with vendors during house preparations for selling but they were clarified right away. When it came to getting offers, they exceeded my expectations and I ended up selling with profit! Last but not least, I had the pleasure of working with Jason this year to buy a new home. As a solo buyer, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find anything with the constant competitive market. Jason was very friendly, patient, responsive, and informative. The home buying journey is an emotional rollercoaster and I couldn't have done it without him. During stressful bidding wars, he was always looking out for me and made sure that I understood and felt comfortable with what numbers I put out. Even though he was busy with many clients, he made sure to take the time to comfort me during these emotional moments. When we encountered an unethical seller agent, he advocated for me. Jason is constantly working and no matter what time it is, he was available to answer questions. I had to remind him to take breaks! He is also well connected and because of that, it helped with negotiation when it mattered the most -- winning my home at below asking price. When it came to closing, my timeline was tight because of an upcoming international trip. However, the team worked hard with my lender to make sure I successfully closed RIGHT before my trip. I highly recommend Jason and will definitely reach back out to him when I sell this home!

Being that I was a retired real estate agent myself I was impressed with Lori's knowledge of the local real estate market and her honesty concerning repairs/remodeling/updating, plus how to pick the right listing price. We had rented the property since 1999. Lori took care of all the aspects of preparing the home for sale. She met with contractors, inspectors, etc. and checked the work progress on a daily basis. She did her own open houses. She also helped us pick out appliances, flooring, cabinets and the list goes on. Since we lived out of town we were totally dependent upon her to get the home ready to sell. Lori is the best. I would give her 10+ stars. E Beggs

I love Palo Alto real estate and one of my favorite things to do on the weekends is go to open…read morehouses. Especially when I have no plans to buy a home in the foreseeable future! We chose Lori to sell our Palo Alto home because she consistently had the best open houses in the area. Her staging is tasteful to the point we've stolen ideas from it for our own properties, the brochures are beautiful, and every little detail down to the nitty gritty foundational details are covered. I like to test agents at open houses and ask them questions like "how does the Buena Vista trailer park controversy impact the future of this neighborhood", just to see how well they really know the market. Unlike many other agents who delegate open house duty to inexperienced colleagues, Lori supervises the open houses herself. These kind of questions are too easy for her - she is always on top of things. Many agents work in too many different cities to follow these events. One thing that really stands out about Lori is how ethical she is. We've done a few transactions in Palo Alto and I've learned to take what most agents say with a grain of salt. Lori is honest and upfront with everything. I'd trust her even if I was on the opposite side of the transaction. I know this because I once bought a property from her through a different buying agent! Another thing I like about Lori is her constant and detailed communication. When selling a multi-million dollar home, I expect to hear all updates immediately. With Lori, we got email, text, and phone communications each day with the status of the open house, contractors, interested buyers, etc. We were updated whether the news was good or bad, and nothing was sugarcoated. At the end of our transaction I honestly couldn't think of anything she could have improved upon. Every little detail was covered, every promise was fulfilled, and everything she said she would follow up on was completed. Lori is a true professional. I would strongly recommend Lori. Check out one of her open houses to see so yourself!
