This was our first time selling a house, and honestly we were a bit nervous going in. We worked…read morewith Audrey at DeLeon Realty this summer to sell our hom in Palo Alto, and looking back I am really glad we did. 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!

Audrey and her team are the real deal. From the first conversation through final paperwork, they…read morewere organized, responsive, and genuinely helpful -- the kind of people who make a stressful process feel manageable. 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.

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 I am grateful for, in particular, is they actively consult with me on key decisions - especially during tough rental times (such as during COVID).

Alex brings deep expertise in the local real estate market--he gave us smart, honest advice on pricing and timing, and really understood the nuances of what would drive interest in our specific home. He clearly knows what buyers in this area are looking for and helped us position our home to maximize appeal. His strategy was spot-on, and we felt confident at every step that we were in the hands of someone who truly understands how to optimize outcomes for sellers. What also stood out was Alex's strong network--he knows the local agents and was able to leverage those relationships to connect with motivated buyers early in the process. Thanks to his efforts, the sale went smoothly and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend working with him if you're thinking of selling in Los Altos or the surrounding area.

Three of the offers were $30K over the asking price. I gasped when I saw the amazing house staging Leslie had deftly supervised. I hardly recognized my old home. Leslie kept the work on schedule and at a very reasonable cost, even as we were still moving out. Leslie even personally sewed and installed a lovely shear curtain to cover a closet missing a door. Every detail was perfect, thanks to Leslie. Leslie was wonderfully supportive of our family during the whole process. She sensed when our family was getting stressed, and gently eased us back to calm. Every question potential buyers asked had an answer, since Leslie did thorough background work. This solid preparation and personability put everyone at ease, and I believe maximized our family's profit, while minimizing stretched nerves. However, don't let Leslie wonderfully personable style fool you. Her timing of the sale was amazing, and went forward with military precision. Leslie had all the offers in a spread sheet and projected from a large wall screen within an hour of their coming in. This vastly simplified the comparisons and analysis. Our house sold for $1,000 a square foot, with half a million down in cash. This in January! By contrast, the lovely old house I'm now buying on the beach in San Francisco is going for $300 a square foot. As a single mom, it is a tremendous relief to have all three of my children's college tuition and support coming from the ample proceeds of Leslie's great work. And I am also now able to buy a home by the beach in San Francisco, even on a small government salary! I cannot recommend Leslie Zeisler highly enough. She changed our lives for the better.

For years, we dealt with a mold problem in our bathroom from a pipe leak that was completely ignored. Since Wilbur Properties took over, the difference has been night and day. I want to give a special thanks to Imelda for being so proactive--she made sure everything got taken care of. Wilbur Properties rebuilt our bathroom and even made repairs in our kitchen, all free of charge. The contracting crew did phenomenal work. The new bathroom is beautiful--every detail, from the colors to the materials, was chosen thoughtfully, and the painters did an incredible job. I couldn't be happier with the result. What stood out most was how kind, diligent, and efficient everyone was throughout the process. They even set up an alternative bathroom for us while construction was happening, which was a huge help. After years of dealing with neglectful management that ignored broken laundry machines, plumbing issues, and mold while constantly raising rent and adding fees, it feels like a privilege to finally be cared for as a renter. Wilbur Properties is by far the best property company we've ever had. Their management and crew are exceptional, and I'd recommend them to anyone without hesitation. 10/10!

Twelve years later, here we are again with the Alex Aung Cupertino Real Estate Consultant team…read more In a world rushing toward AI for every answer, what stood out this time is something no algorithm can replicate: human judgment, patience, and care. Alex never once pushed us to make an offer. He did the opposite, asking quiet questions that helped us figure out what we actually needed in a home, and what we could live without. Yuchi made sure our finances were rock-solid before we wrote anything. She reminded us to budget for the nice-to-haves and steered us clear of money pits. Before submitting our offer, Alex walked us through the comps he'd prepared and, surprisingly, suggested we go in lower. In a moment when ceasefires get torn up every other week and the world feels uncertain, that lower number turned out to be exactly right. Behind the scenes, Alex paired our written offer with a strong verbal follow-through. We were shielded from the rest. Accepted as written. Two offers with Alex and Yuchi, 12 years apart. Both accepted on the first attempt. Yuchi is now voluntarily and unofficially project-managing our Sunnyvale home upgrade, taking time out of her schedule to visit stores and walk through options with us like it's her own place. Whether you're house hunting in the Bay Area, casually browsing, or just uncertain about whether now is the right time, reach out to Alex. You'll know right away you're in good hands.

We've both purchased and sold multiple properties with them all in Silicon Valley area and every time it has been nothing, but smooth experience and they exceeded our expectations. They are very experienced with entire Bay Area especially San Jose real estate market, which makes their expertise invaluable for us. We found that their incredibly detailed home price technical analysis report, prior to each offer we made is extremely useful and is very precise, unbiased, and well aligned with today's rapidly moving market and this ultimately guide us in securing our dream house confidently knowing we did not over bid more than needed to be in the game of bidding war in such a current competitive market. They also took their time to thoroughly review each inspection reports and disclosures with us, prior to each offer we make to make sure the property of interest has no hidden major repairs or red flags before proceeding with our offers . This again gives us great confidence in deciding whether to proceed with our offer or not. There were a few times they stopped us from proceeding further with offer due to costly foundation repair although the home is visually appealing on open house visit and other time with city's natural gas pipeline being too close to the back yard. There are many other incidences where their unbiased input was critical to our decision making on offer. They make sure that we as home buyer make the ultimate call on what price to offer with best of our interest. They work very transparently and truly have their client's interest at heart every step of the way in our home buying journey. From the get-go, they introduced us to a loan officer, proven track record of closing many home loans in a given time with best interest rate, from a competitive mortgage lender to get our pre-qualified loan approved, identifying our desired locations based on our family needs, help reviewing the reports and disclosures for red flags or negotiating and presenting relentlessly with seller on our offer to get it accepted in this multiple bid situations. What separate Alex Aung Cupertino Real Estate team from many other real agents in the Bay area is that they did not stop looking out for their clients right after the escrow is closed. When we needed to remodel our new house, they introduced us to their trusted and pool of resources, from their home builder network from structural engineer, licensed contractors, handymen, plumbers, heating/cooling electricians, painters and etc. They stepped-in and negotiated every quote for us. Just to make sure we are not getting ripped off and also get the best quality work for the amount money we needed to spend that give us ultimate peace of mind. Overall, we had great experience working with them every time. We will definitely go back and ask them to represent as our real estate agent next time whether home buying or selling comes along. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody.

We had no idea about the process or what it takes to buy a home, so working with such experienced agents really helped us gain a lot of mental clarity & straighten out the process even before actually getting into the market. Amar explained the detailed step-by-step process to us, breaking it down into smaller milestones so that it didn't feel overwhelming. From getting pre-approval to getting the house keys, Amar & Sri worked closely with us, helping us figure things out. They helped us by analyzing each home on our list even before we went to the open houses, saving a lot of time by ensuring we didn't visit properties that weren't a good fit either because of the area or because of other external factors. When we finally found a home we liked, Sri did her due diligence, not just in terms of the emotional & strategic value, but also in terms of financial value, which obviously was one of our major deciding factors. Amar & Sri were very understanding and were able to guide us at each step of the process. Amar & Sri worked with us & the seller's agent to get our offer accepted even before the offer date was set, and they continued to guide us through all the crucial steps after the offer was accepted, helping us work with the lender. We really appreciate Amar & Sri's guidance through this very important milestone in our lives and would definitely recommend them to any of our friends looking to buy their next home.

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.
