If you're selling your house, look no further! There is no question you should go with Michael Repka & the DeLeon team, who are unrivaled in the Bay Area. We had a disastrous experience trying to sell with another realtor, wasting large amounts of time and money while generating extreme stress over several months, and then hired DeLeon to start fresh and do things right. The DeLeon team provided truly exceptional marketing (including Chinese language), design/staging, project management, and legal services, none of which could be matched by another firm. These services are absolutely critical to selling at the best price in the fastest time frame. Don't believe any realtor that tells you that these services don't matter that much, or that they can handle these things without a specialized team of highly talented experts like DeLeon has. The DeLeon selling commission is typically .5% higher, but well worth it--you'll easily come out ahead with a faster sale at a top of market price. Plus, if buyer and seller are both with DeLeon, you pay just 3% total--that's another way that DeLeon is unrivaled by other realtors. While they handle a large volume of high dollar value transactions, Michael and the team have developed a model that provides outstanding service to all sellers, including relatively low dollar value transactions (e.g., townhouse and condo sales). Whenever I needed to talk to Michael, he went the extra mile to spend time with me. Ultimately, we had a tremendous open house turnout (about 10x the turnout generated by previous realtor), received several offers, and sold quickly the first week at a price we were happy with given market conditions. Closing was exceptionally smooth and well managed by the Escrow team. We can't recommend the DeLeon team more highly, and we are very grateful for the awesome end-to-end experience and results they delivered for us. Thank you very much to the whole team, with special thanks to Michael, Audrey, Nitasha, Colette, and Karen!
