I cannot begin to express how awesome the folks at DeLeon are. We heard about them from our mortgage lender. Initially, we were skeptical... With our past house, we had an awful experience with our agent. I found the place, and we spent most of our time herding cats, poking the agents to do things, and battling with the lenders. But after meeting Ken, and his absolutely amazing South peninsula agent, Lin Lin, all our concerns disappeared.

First off, Lin Lin is one of the most patient, hardworking, and genuinely kind human beings I've met in a long time. She also really knows her stuff, including the nuances of real estate--like the underlying psychology that leads to a successful sale. Also, I have never seen a person work harder for a sale that they don't even get a commission on (everyone at DeLeon is salaried). Not only that, but she was the perfect project manager. She kept informed top of EVERYTHING, so I didn't have to, and she answered every single frantic email, text, or phone call I had.

In our case, we decided to start looking and ultimately bought during the Christmas holiday, and she and the rest of the team were incredibly responsive. In fact, they even went above the call of duty, by answering a few real estate legal issues the day after Christmas, after I was panicking. (Many of the agents were former attorneys in past lives, and Michael Ripka still maintains his credentials).

We also totally loved how the DeLeon experience included complimentary inspection services by Curt, and five hours of amazing handyman work from Cameron. It turned what would have taken my husband and I weeks (oh who's kidding--months) to complete into a move-in ready experience.

We will absolutely be using the DeLeon team again when we buy our next property. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
