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!

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.

Greg's expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From prepping the home to navigating negotiations, Greg was proactive, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local market. What truly set Greg apart was his genuine care and clear communication. I always felt informed, supported, and confident throughout each stage. Thanks to his strategic approach and dedication, the home sold quickly--and for a fantastic price. If you're looking for a real estate agent who delivers outstanding results while treating you like a priority, Greg Stange is the one to call.

Here is my opinion, based on dealing with them. Completely dishonest agents. Jalali Hossein…read more Represented a buyer for a property in Palm Desert. The day before escrow was to close, with no communication during the entirety of the transaction tells my agent (who had to call him by the way) "oh, we're backing out. " No good reasons. No legal reasons. Won't work with my agent to resolve it. Wouldn't try to remedy the transaction. Won't release the earned monies per the contract. I called the manager of the branch and he was less than interested that one of his agents is, in my humble opinion, totally unprofessional. They know that if the transaction amount is low enough, you won't litigate to get your money and they will back out cause they are not professionals. The "Arbitration" costs a lot of money and they know you won't do it. They tied my property up for 30 days and I rejected other offers because we had a deal. Then without any notice, they pull out... leaving me on the market in a worse time of the year to try to move a property, near the holidays. The agent may be the top 1%, but I won't say what he is the top 1% of. DO NOT HIRE THESE PEOPLE, DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH THEM.

We decided to hire Gwen Luce to represent us for buying our house in Barron Park neighborhood of…read morePalo Alto as she is know to many as "Queen of Barron Park." We heard mixed reviews of her before going in. We heard that she is abrasive and hard to work with. We found neither to be the truth. Gwen is a passionate and hard working agent who's best interest is her client. Yes she is aggressive, but for the benefit for her client. She reads every single line of contract, disclosures, inspections, title, etc.. to make sure everything was in order and inform us if anything needed our attention. For example, she found an incomplete area in the termite inspection report - she then negotiated with the sellers to fix this problem. Gwen also knows every ins and outs of real estate in Palo Alto. She can recommend you with every contractor and city services persons - and they know her! As her client, you will be very well taken care of. I wholeheartedly recommend Gwen for anyone who is buying or selling their house in Palo Alto.

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.

Audrey is very professional and knows the local market well, but what I appreciated most is that she is honest. We had a lot of questions, some of them hard ones, and she was always patient and never pushed us. DeLeon's staff are on salary instead of commission, and you can feel the difference. Their advice was about what was right for us, not about closing a deal fast. The other thing that stood out is how they work as a team. Our house is older and needed a lot of work. Their handyman took care of a long list of repairs, and Elve, their designer, worked with the staging team to make the place look great. Both were part of their service, so no surprise bills. Their in-house legal team went through the disclosure documents very carefully, which gave us real peace of mind. Everyone on the team got back to us quickly. Looking back, choosing Audrey and DeLeon was the best decision I made this year. If you are selling in Palo Alto, give them a call. Thank you Audrey, Elve and the whole team!

The landlord refused to change a lot of things including kitchen cabinets and stove. We performed professional lead test for $1600 out of pocket after receiving positive result from lead test bought at Amazon. We moved out before the rent expired, they did help us find a new tenants, but surpise surpise charged us $3000 without a proof of work (before & after pictures) essentially to resurface the wooden floor, which we cared for. It suffered abosulely no damage by us except for maybe marker pen by kids, we tried washing some of them off and it was coming off, so it didnt need the whole resurfacing work. We feel lied to and exploited to renovate the super old house. We left behind the dishwasher and kitchen island and Ring doorbell all brand new, and landlord refused to pay even $200 for everything included. The price was symbolic, because the dishwasher cost us $600 from Costco and Kitchen Island $500 from IKEA, Ring Doorbell dont remember. New tenants ended up buying those things. Worst experience I've had with landlords so far, the landlord felt super greedy. UPD: Wanted to clarify couple of points: * The management company was ok, Christopher was responsive * Amanda helped us find new tenants quickly when we wanted to terminate the lease early * There was NO lead problem (conclusion of the environmental report), but problem with who should pay for the evaluation. Owner refused to pay anything even though they were interested in this report as well (their words, not mine) The reason I left this review to the company is because I can't leave this review to the house owner, I just have nowhere to leave it. I wish the company would stop working with landlords like this, and do a better job of protecting the renter's interests as well, not just the landlord's. After all they're the mediators between the two.

We just closed on our third property with Ann Vu, and once again she went above and beyond in every…read morepossible way. Every time we've worked with Ann, she has proven that she is not just a realtor--she's an advocate, a problem solver, and someone who treats her clients like family. Ann's dedication and work ethic are unmatched. She is responsive at all hours, creative when it comes to solutions, and fiercely protective of her clients' best interests. To give you an idea of just how far Ann will go for her clients: when my water broke unexpectedly and I ended up in the hospital, we were still in the middle of closing escrow. Most realtors would have thrown up their hands--but not Ann. She made sure everything still went smoothly. Even while I was recovering and preparing to welcome my baby, Ann made sure nothing fell through the cracks. That's not just good service--that's above and beyond in the truest sense. Buying a home is stressful enough, but with Ann by our side, we have always felt supported, reassured, and in the best possible hands. She has now helped us successfully purchase three properties, and there is no doubt we will continue to work with her for every future move. If you want a realtor who is tireless, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in your success, look no further. Ann Vu is the realtor you want for life!

They were referred to us by my coworker. We were looking between Mountain View and San Carlos. They were very knowledgeable about the area and spent a lot of weekends with us going through the different neighborhoods and showing us houses. Mary and Steve are very honest about the houses they showed us, pointing out things that were not good and also ways in which the houses could be improved through remodeling. Mary's husband is an architect which is really helpful in this area as a lot of houses are very old and require renovations and remodeling. Her husband Mike actually came out to look at a house we were interested in to help us determine if we could open up the layout, etc. I highly recommend working with Mary and Steve at Zane MacGregor. Mary is the sweetest and Steve is really funny; they definitely helped make the highly stressful process of buying a house in the Bay Area more enjoyable and smooth.

We've now bought one house and sold one with the team of Wendy, Adam, and Steve at Zane Macgregor…read more To say that we're happy with our decision to work with them would be an understatement. They're very professional, ethical, smart, and knowledgeable about real estate in the area. Working with them, you really feel like you've got partners that are on your side, and it extends far beyond the simple transaction of buying or selling a house and into living and thriving in the Bay Area. They each bring valuable individual skills to the table. Wendy with her keen sense of aesthetics and numbers, Adam the attorney with his cool rationality, and Steve with his background in construction. It's a dream team combo that we seriously doubt you'll find anywhere else. We bought our house about two years ago. Buying was a six month process during which time we bid on three houses and went to countless more. During these six months, Wendy really got to know our tastes and we in turn got a sense of how good our agents were in terms of analyzing the pros and cons of each house and also predicting how the bidding would go when we decided to make offers. Our dream house, the one we bought, Wendy told us about two months before it even went on the market. She already knew that it was going to be the one for us! In the very competitive market of the Bay Area, you really want the best people on your side when you finally find the house, and when we got our bid together, we were confident that it would be perfect, and so it was. We got our house and almost every day after we were marveling to ourselves how lucky we were to get it! Even after we closed and moved in, Wendy would work with us to troubleshoot, remodel, share ideas, etc. It really went far beyond what we expected from a real estate agent. So it was a no-brainer that two years later, when we decided to sell an investment property, that we'd go back to Zane Macgregor. It took about a month to prep the house. We listed it at the price that they suggested. We were actually a bit worried that it was too high - it was an older house with some issues for which we went and got additional inspection reports. It ended up selling that week for over 20% more than list, with four offers, at a price in excess of most fancy shmancy new homes! Buying and selling a house were big deals for us, but working with agents that we could be comfortable with and trust made it utterly painless.
