We sold our Mountain View townhome with Rainmaker Real Estate. Their in-depth knowledge of the…read moreMountain View, Los Altos, and adjacent towns was key in our selection of Rainmaker. Another factor in selecting Rainmaker was Yao Li's diligent preparation and planning of the pre-sale process. She is awesome! Leading up to the on-market listing, Alex was super clear and explicit on what will happen and how to prepare. He also provided thoughtful advice on what listing price to select in order to attract the most buyers. We were able to go on-market, do showings, send out disclosures, and request offers in no time. Alex's support extended to a great conversation on the pros/cons of each offer, which led us to being under contract very quickly. In the end, Rainmaker Real Estate was awesome to work with. Alex and Yao provided a great product with *ZERO* drama, which is what we wanted. We will use them again, if we are in the market to purchase something in the MTV/Los Altos area.

I always felt I could go to either of them with questions and concerns. Through the years, we've stayed loosely in touch.

Rabia was exactly the kind of realtor I needed for a complex sale. I was remote and had a lot going…read moreon, so I needed someone who could take ownership of the process, reduce stress, and handle the details without constant prompting. Rabia did that exceptionally well. She coordinated the repairs, cleanup, staging, inspections, disclosures, open houses, and offer strategy with real discipline. Whenever an issue came up, she either had a clear recommendation or simply took care of it. That made the process feel much more manageable from a distance. What stood out most was how she handled a setback after our first buyer backed out. She stayed calm, kept the process moving, and helped us recover quickly rather than letting the situation become stressful or reactive. The final result was strong, with the home selling over asking. Just as important, Rabia made the process feel organized, professional, and low-drama. I would recommend her to anyone selling in Sunnyvale or the South Bay who wants an experienced agent with strong project-management skills and sound judgment.

Rabia helped my wife and I sell our Sunnyvale townhome during one of the worst downturns of the…read morehousing market in recent years (tariffs, markets crashed, high interest rates). She managed everything for us - touch ups, staging, photos, videos, open houses, negotiating, etc. Rabia went above and beyond when we noticed the shifting housing market, enabled us with a back up plan to rent out the house for 1-2 years, was able to negotiate to our intended sell price and allowed us to use the staging in the last week before we moved away. We have nothing but praise for the work Rabia and her team did, and would not hesitate to recommend her to all our friends and neighbors.

During that period, we interacted mostly with Dedy regarding finding and screening tenants, addressing maintenance issues, and assessing fair rental value. Dedy was responsive and helpful whenever needed. We always had good tenants. In more recent years, Linda and Rafael were also very responsive to questions or requests, and facilitated getting things done. On the Accounting side, Takako provided invaluable assistance and communication, even after normal business hours. From a property owner's perspective, this is a very solid and professional team.

We rented a condo in Santa Clara, CA. -- Move in Process -- We have been looking for a rental for some time and Darrell Martin has been a pleasure to work with. Was professional, but also friendly. We scheduled a visit to see one of their units and Darrel was there on time. He showed us around the unit and explained the amenities. After we were done touring, I got an email asking me to fill out the application if I'm interested. Signing was all done electronically (docusign). Payment is all done through appfolio. This is how it should be in today's world! -- Living -- We encountered a few maintenance issues during our stay, such as a leaking faucet, a faulty microwave, and a noisy fridge. Each time, I simply submitted a request through their online portal, and Linda Green ensured someone was sent out within one business day. There was also an annual fire inspection scheduled while I was away on a business trip--special thanks to Rafael for stopping by just to take care of it. -- Move-out Process -- When we secured a new rental, the new management company needed a reference from Action Properties. Takako Dumlao went above and beyond--she stayed late at the office just in case the call came. Takako also fought for our security deposit. We owe her a lot. A big thank you also to Dedy Efendi and Ted for coordinating communication with the homeowner and making our move-out process FAST and seamless. I've lived in several apartments, but this was the first time I felt truly supported by a solid team. I'll miss the annual pumpkin pie events. Thank you!

Mini Kalkat has served as our buyer's agent for our real estate search in Los Altos a couple of…read moreyears back, and I still cannot recommend her highly enough. The most notable aspect of working with Mini is that from the very beginning, she showed interest in matching us with an actual home that would suit us rather than trying to sell us the property regardless of our needs. Mini has always been extremely data-driven and clear in explaining things. Specifically, she gathered comps and provided a comprehensive analysis of our property at that time which allowed us to see the picture from the financial point of view and to make informed decisions. Additionally, she has provided a very clear structure for the process ahead of us so that we had no doubts about the next step to take. Home purchase is an intimidating experience and dealing with Mini has made this process seem much more manageable and structured. In retrospect, it may be among our best decisions ever to partner up with her. As far as buyer's agents go in Los Altos, Mini was and undoubtedly still is the person to go to if you want to get the right home through an honest and reliable real estate agent.

The first meeting we had with them we knew this was the team to work with. They have extensive knowledge of my mom's townhome community of Cuernavaca in Mountain View. From day one, everything about managing the sale was so seamless. The staging that was done was incredible (thank you Emily - from their group!) and after one weekend of open houses, the townhome had many offers, well over asking. The best thing about Mike was that he is so personable and nice, extremely good at communicating and was so patient with our many questions during the sale process.

They understood our needs and were truly partners throughout the process - never married to a single approach, just the one that made sense for us. From start to finish across two transactions, there was never anything too big for them to handle or too small for them to address.

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.

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.

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.

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.
