James and Nicole provided white glove service through the entirety of the process. They are the real estate equivalents of Goldman Sachs or McKinsey - highly strategic in their advice while also being exceptionally detail oriented and organized. All the while, they maintained a customer-centric approach that was both personal and professional. 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. We truly value their partnership, professionalism, and work product. Highly recommend to everyone - especially busy people with a high bar!

The team is very knowledgeable and clearly takes pride in their work. Their experience with high transaction volume gave us confidence, especially when it came to understanding resale value and property potential. They also offer helpful extras like handyman services and access to a moving van, which made things much easier. Overall, the process felt very natural and stress-free. We're extremely happy with our experience buying in Palo Alto and would definitely recommend Brad and the Deleon 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.

Communication is always timely, and I never feel out of the loop. The systems he uses make everything seamless--rent payments, direct deposit, tax reporting--it's all handled with zero hassle on my end. It's clear he values both efficiency and transparency. What I really appreciate is how Zack takes a strategic approach. He helped me price and position my rentals to attract the right tenants and maximize long-term value. His 20+ years of experience in San Mateo County really shows. There's also 24/7 support in place for any urgent maintenance needs, which has kept things running smoothly for both me and my tenants. If you're a landlord looking for someone you can actually trust to handle your properties like a pro, Zack's the one.

Highly Recommended - Exceptional Service from Greg Stange I…read moreworked with Greg Stange to sell my home at 285 Alta Vista Way in Daly City, CA, and the experience exceeded all expectations. 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.

He is attentive, knows and understands what I want, and was fully supportive, particularly important as a first-time home buyer.

I know that's not typically the norm, but it may be for Greg as it has happened both times and shows his negotiation abilities. He is knowledgable, realistic, and trustworthy, and I can't recommend him enough.

Lan is an exceptional realtor. We worked with her as our buyer's agent, and highly recommend her to…read moreanyone who is looking for a realtor for the Palo Alto and Los Altos areas. Overall, she not only cares for us as a realtor, but she truly treats us as her own family (our kids love her and always ask us when we can see her again!) She would proactively screen properties for us, noting which properties she felt would be worth us visiting in person to help us decide whether or not we would want to put an offer. She is deeply knowledgeable about Palo Alto and Los Altos, and knows exactly which streets / areas have which nuances, pros and cons, and other things that we might want to consider. When we went to open houses with her, she would pay a lot of attention to small details and note things that are easily fixed or things that would cost more time/money to solve. During the house buying process, Lan truly considers what is suitable for your family and your specific situation. She also has high integrity, and truly spends her highest effort to secure your desired property for the lowest possible price (she doesn't wish for her clients to overpay for properties). She responds to all texts and calls in an extremely timely manner, which is imperative in house buying situations as buyers/sellers may be very nervous. She spent hours discussing various properties with us, as well as things we should consider etc. when looking at a specific property. During the day in which we gave our offer, Lan and John were very prompt in preparing everything we needed, and we would not have been able to secure the property we liked if it weren't for Lan's superior negotiation skills. Even after we successfully closed, Lan continues to offer us guidance on recommending arborists, contractors, handymen, etc. as we prepare to move into our new home. We still keep in frequent contact with her and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their home. She treats all her clients with extreme care, like her own family.

When we decided to sell our house, we interviewed one of the most famous firms in Palo Alto and Lan. We went with Lan because it was obvious that she knew the market and other agents very well and that she would be personally involved in all major decisions regarding our house. We were very happy we made that decision and as expected she was super involved. She and John managed upgrades to our house that probably added 10x the value of work done. And she was there for both major and minor decisions, sometimes multiple times a day. All her vendors loved working with her and gave us extraordinary pricing because she brings volume to their businesses. When selling our house, the relationships she had with other agents made them trust the property she was selling. I realized after working with her that an agent's reputation and connections with other agents is integral to getting the best price or getting an offer accepted. Lan acts with integrity, has strong relationships with other agents, and will get you top dollar for your house. Our house went for way over asking- far more than we expected. Having sold a house with her, I would never consider working with anyone else.
