DeLeon Realty

Experiencia fantástica: We used DeLeon Realty to sell our Palo Alto home, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. In particular, Audrey and Margie were absolutely fantastic to work with — attentive, sharp, experienced, insightful and always on top of things. What sets DeLeon apart is that they're a true full-service agency, not just a single agent. Through one team, we got real estate expertise, in-house legal support, minor touch-up work, staging, cleaning, and excellent web and brochure marketing — all coordinated seamlessly. That range of in-house capability made the entire process far smoother than working with an individual agent ever could. They also brought deep market knowledge of the Palo Alto area, including a strong grasp of Eichler sale history and specifications — which mattered a lot given our home's profile. They understood the real value of our home beyond square footage: premium materials, fittings, and fixtures throughout, plus extensive modern upgrades including a full solar and Tesla Powerwall backup system and smart-home features. DeLeon's team recognised and articulated all of that to prospective buyers, which helped us achieve a price that truly reflected what we'd put into the home. Throughout the process, they were responsive and professional — genuinely a pleasure to work with. They also brought a strong list of prospective buyers, which helped generate serious interest quickly. We'd highly recommend DeLeon Realty to anyone selling a home in the Bay Area.

Experiencia fantástica: Audrey and her excellent team at DeLeon helped us sell our home quickly and at a good price. Audrey's market knowledge and pricing strategy, combined with the in-house design, marketing, lawyers and handymen teams, ensured the process was simple and efficient. They looked after our home with utmost care through the process and we felt we, as clients, and our home were in good hands. Moving and selling a home can be quite stressful and I'm very grateful for their exceptional service and support through it all.

Experiencia fantástica: We had a great experience working with Alex and his team of professionals! Easy to communicate with, they kept us updated every step of the way! Our home sold within days after the first open house and we were incredibly pleased with the results! We can highly recommend Deleon realty.

Experiencia fantástica: We had a great experience working with DeLeon Realty. Francis was our main agent and ensured the entire process ran smoothly. The communication was clear throughout, and the team’s ability to stick to the project calendar—from repairs to closing—was much appreciated. A special shoutout to Margie and the design team for their excellent suggestions and for working so well with both their suggested vendors and some of ours. Between the high-quality staging and Francis’s work with the buyer agents, the sale was handled very professionally. The team was also very easy to work with throughout the process. Highly recommended for prospective sellers.

Experiencia fantástica: We had an excellent experience working with Audrey and the team at DeLeon Realty as the sellers of our home. Since we were already in our home country during the process, we were initially concerned about managing everything remotely. However, Audrey and the team handled everything seamlessly - from preparing the home to marketing and closing, without requiring much involvement from us. The entire process was smooth and efficient. We truly appreciated their professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail. Highly recommend Audrey and the DeLeon Realty team!

Experiencia fantástica: High integrity. Work for owners’ best interest— highest prices and returns and not highest fees paid to brokers. Never collect commissions for handling both the listing side and the buying side. Why aren’t more sellers aware of this?

Experiencia fantástica: Audrey and her team are the real deal. From the first conversation through final paperwork, they were 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.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience working with Brad from the Deleon Team! We met him casually at an open house, and he NEVER pressured us to sign anything/exclusive contract which we really appreciated. 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!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent experience with selling our house in Palo Alto, 5 stars all the way. Inspite of a significant disclosure issue, Audrey (agent) and team did a great job marketing and staging, and got us $500K over asking. Margie did an excellent job with staging, and has always been super responsive. Karen has also been quite prompt with responses. Unlike some other agents, they pay for staging. Further, they bear the cost of repair labor, and we had quite a bit of it (fully repainting the house, and multiple minor repairs). Overall great experience. They are the leading realtor in Palo Alto, and imo worth the extra 0.5% they charge over other local agents.

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Ken DeLeon and the entire DeLeon Team has been the best experience. From the very beginning, Ken’s leadership and warmth shine through, you can immediately feel how much he cares about the families he serves. His team reflects that same energy. Alex and everyone we worked with were thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly supportive at every step. They are truly the best real estate team. What meant the most to us was the level of detail and care they put into everything. They handle everything with so much professionalism and kindness. The whole process felt like working with a trusted partners looking out for us, which is a true reflection of Ken’s leadership and the culture he’s built. I honestly can’t recommend Ken and his entire team enough. If you want people who will treat your home journey with the same care and respect they would give their own, you won’t find anyone better.

Experiencia fantástica: As sellers, we received truly exceptional service from Michael Repka and his team. Because they are full-time, highly skilled DeLeon employees—not independent agents—their coordination, expertise, and dedication were evident at every step. They approached our sale with a real sense of urgency, meticulous attention to detail, and genuine care in presenting our home in its best light. Michael and the entire team were always available, quick to respond, and consistently clear in their communication, which made the whole process remarkably easy for us. On top of that, they were an absolute pleasure to work with. This is a true Silicon Valley real estate team—whip-smart, market-savvy, and committed to delivering outstanding customer service. And they delivered a very fast sale! We unequivocally and enthusiastically recommend DeLeon Realty.

Experiencia fantástica: Michael and his team at Deleon are incredible. We felt fully supported by them throughout the entire process. When we first signed with Deleon I didn't personally value the legal arm of their firm, but Colette proved invaluable to us as we encountered unexpected legal complications from a difficult buyer. I will definitely work with them again!

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Audrey at Deleon was amazing. She was knowledgeable, decisive, kind, and professional. Every step of the way we felt secure and taken care of. Our house sold for way above asking and I highly recommend Deleon for anyone looking to buy or sell their home! You will not be disappointed.

Experiencia fantástica: Selling a parent's home who has passed is difficult on many levels. There are emotional and legal considerations on top of all of the other challenges associated with putting a home on the market. Thankfully, Deleon had the in-house resources, including legal, and a proven process to help us sell unwanted items through an estate sale, prepare/repair and stage the home. They were very professional and flexible (and understanding) when we challenged them with a very tight timeline. I really appreciated their high quality marketing and savvy knowledge of what it would take to attract the right buyers who would truly appreciate the features of our mother's home and achieve a sales price that met our expectations. Thank you Audrey, Elve, Carlos and the rest of the team. We are very happy with the results

Experiencia fantástica: Selling a house that has been our family home for 50 years would never be easy, but everyone at DeLeon was superb. Our agent, Audrey Sun, was extremely professional at every turn, but also so kind and cognizant that to me, this was not just a house for sale. It was a special place and mattered a great deal to me. She made the process so seamless and was always available to us in a way that I had not experienced from previous home sales. I absolutely would not hesitate to use them again. I will be referring everyone I can to DeLeon in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: DeLeon was a lifesaver when selling our house during a busy time in our lives. Our agent, Audrey Sun, was absolutely amazing and took care of everything. The DeLeon project manager, Stephanie, went above and beyond -- from preparing and staging our home to even securing movers and facilitating our cross-country move. The DeLeon team kept me informed when I needed to be and took care of the many details when I didn't. DeLeon made a stressful process so smooth and positive. I am so grateful for their professionalism and excellent care.

Experiencia fantástica: I was skeptical of all realtors prior to my engagement with Michael and his team. We had tried selling our house with other brokers and were unsuccessful. The only type of engagement I received from former brokers was anxiety-laden empty fast talking. No solutions were presented and no leadership was offered. Then came the DeLeon team. From start to finish each and every team member delivered thoughtful and direct advice. All DeLeon team members were always available, including Michael. I can recommend the DeLeon team wholeheartedly and without reservation.

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend the DeLeon team. Very impressed with the attentiveness and professionalism. Audrey (agent), Nitasha (designer), and team were responsive and did a phenomenal job in making sure the house was ready to sell. The end result looked amazing. The whole process was seamless and quickly done. No detail was too small for them. They delivered on all aspects (staging, answering questions, logistics, contracts, one-off requests) resulting in the house selling quickly. Thank you Audrey, Nitasha, and team! You were all wonderful to work with!

Experiencia fantástica: DeLeon Realty was absolutely fantastic in helping me sell my house. They took care of all the details from small repairs, selling items, removing unwanted items for trash, landscaping needs, and more. Most importantly, they provided advice and help with the disclosures and other key documentation. Michael and his team were simply outstanding!

Experiencia fantástica: Without exception, every member of the DeLeon team we dealt with was professional, responsive and a delight to work with. And they worked incredibly well as a team. I hadn't realized until the closing how valuable it was to have an integrated team working for us. Highest possible recommendation.

Experiencia fantástica: Michael and his team are top-notch. Really excellent at their work and friendly while doing it. They advised my family on a large sale and the entire process went smoothly. Michael's advice was very spot on (now that we can look back at it in hindsight). Would highly recommend working with them and would give them six stars if I could!

Experiencia fantástica: I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to friends and family for your real estate needs.

Experiencia fantástica: This is a great company. Because I was selling a home for which I was a trustee and live in New York City, I needed a realty company that understood the Palo Alto, CA market well. I was referred to DeLeon by a friend. Once I contacted them, I never looked back. My first encounter was with Alex Wilbur, who understood the market up to the minute. I had great interactions with everyone on the staff (and the title company they use) - including Serena, who helped my family run an estate sale, Margie, who worked through a number of suggestions to improve the house and created a stunning staging, and Karen - who held our hand and helped us fill out complex forms and solve numerous small problems all the way through closing. And all along the way, Alex was there, sometimes in the foreground and sometimes in the background, making sure that everything was on track. This team earned every penny of their commission. I recommend them strongly to anyone needing a good reality company in the Palo Alto area

Experiencia fantástica: The team from DeLeon Realty is top notch. They stayed on top of everything. I was sent emails when something when decisions were necessary, emails when a stage was completed. They made everything go smoothly and seamlessly and managed my expectations and those of my siblings. Individually they are nice people. Together, they are a great team!

Experiencia fantástica: Great

Experiencia fantástica: Deleon went above and beyond in a completely competent (unusual in today's world) and ethical manner. They get my highest praise - which is usually hard to get from me.Terrific!!

Experiencia fantástica: Had seen a DeLeon open house in our neighborhood and was impressed with the knowledge and professionalism displayed. The brochure was very polished and the home was presented well. When it came time to put my mother's home on the market, we interviewed a number of realty firms and we decided on DeLeon based on their approach in separating the listing/selling side from the buying side of the realty business. There is always a grey line when an agent could flirt with interests on both sides of a transaction. Listing a home for sale with DeLeon, there was never a thought that their sole mission was anything other than getting the home ready, looking its best and getting the marketing material ready for sale. Everything goes like clockwork with a team that is knowledgeable, creative and experienced. They can do a lot of handholding in helping with making decisions when costs are involved. The DeLeon team goes above and beyond with helping work through moving services, cleanup, renovations, repairs... The listing team are wonderful people that understand the emotional side of selling a family home and really care about the client. Needless to say the home sold and we are very happy with the result. I would recommend the DeLeon team to anyone thinking of listing a home for sale because of the way they work and more importantly, the very caring people that they have working there. Bravo to the DeLeon team, Audrey, Francis, Jenny, Ron, Karen and all the people behind the scenes too.

Experiencia fantástica: Deleon made the whole process of selling our house as easy as possible where wonderful to work with.

Experiencia fantástica: Another extremely happy seller here. DeLeon was the selling agent when we bought our place in Palo Alto. We were very impressed with their staging results and they got more than 10 offers, so we were convinced that they'd be our selling agent too when time comes. Michael Repka and his team handled the sale of our place, in an outstandingly professional and courteous manner. They took care of preparing the property, bringing us very reasonable vendor offers and handling the work in no time and with 0 engagement on our side. Their complementary staging is top-notch, they use the same design and media team whether it's a 2M or 30M property. They took care of all the paperwork and communication and checked all docs to verify that they're legally and financially sound. The icing on the cake: despite many similar properties going to the market in Palo Alto the same week as ours, we got multiple offers, the top one 20% above asking. A few weeks later, the transaction is now complete. I can't recommend the DeLeon team strongly enough. Just reach out to Michael and his team if you want to have a mindless, stress-free transaction and a selling price at the top of the market.

Experiencia fantástica: Far above any other agency. Michael is a genius If you are seeking the highest quailty and ethical startards there is no where else to go.

Experiencia fantástica: We had a tremendous experience with DeLeon Realty as the sales agent for our home. From our first meeting to house prep, staging, marketing and finally the sale, Mike Repka and his team worked tirelessly, punctually and with a professional confidence which made it all seem easy, but in reality was excellent hard work. We couldn't have had a better real estate agent.

Experiencia fantástica: We recently listed our Palo Alto home with Michael Repka at DeLeon Realty. We had the challenge of living on the east coast and having to entrust the sale of our home to an agent in California. Michael and his team were exceptional throughout the preparation of the property listing and ultimately selling our home. The team addressed everything from staging, maintenance and landscaping. Our home had multiple offers and sold within six days. The team efficiently prepared all paperwork required for the closing. We highly recommend the DeLeon team to represent any seller of residential property in The Bay Area. Michael Repka is a pleasure to work with.

Experiencia positiva: Easy to navigate, 3D visuals are good. House information is available.

Experiencia fantástica: Never been

Experiencia fantástica: My experiences with DeLeon have been amazing. Their realtor, Annie Watson is the Best. I have worked with many Realtors over the years, and I can honestly say she has been the best Realtor I have come across. She is very smart and no one will work harder than Annie. She sends emails all through the night, even at 3am. She helped me purchase a property during this past holiday season. Instead of slowing down because of the holidays like everyone else, she kept working hard. She worked around the clock to make a quick, effortless transaction. Her negotiating skills are excellent as she got me an amazing price. Not only is her knowledge of the market comprehensive, she really understands what makes sellers and buyers tick. She knows what and how much she can push and what she shouldn't. Her cultural sensitivity was also very impressive. After securing the sale, Annie did not slow down. I never saw her drink coffee, but she seems to have caffeine running through her veins at all times. Her friendly relationships with others needed during the transaction made things even easier. People at the title company treated her like a queen, and hence treated me with similar respect. She had contact information for unique lenders (beyond the big banks) and insurance agents. As this property was an investment property, Annie then helped me find tenants. Her same judgment with people, the market, and finances and her relentless work ethic, got me excellent tenants in no time (even though it is off season currently for leasing). Even though she was busy with open houses for more lucrative properties, she treated my leasing needs just as critical. But the best part of Annie, is her sincere interest in helping people. Being in healthcare, I am surrounded by people who like to help people, and many others who pretend to like to help people. Annie's main drive (I think) is this desire. She makes it her personal goal to solve someone's real estate problems in a efficient, friendly, and beneficial manner. As an example, during a walk through of the house, she was multitasking dealing with me, a contractor, and many others over the phone (all about my property). By the end of the hour, she had resolved or arranged solutions for all the issues of the punch list. This may have taken other people a week to resolve everything. So as I said in the beginning, she is simply the BEST.

Experiencia fantástica: 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!

Experiencia fantástica: Their full service professional approach and were astounded by the pace at which they move.

Experiencia fantástica: Mike Repka and his team at Deleon Realty did a great job selling our Menlo Park property. They suggested and managed the updates to the house & grounds, and then did a great job with the marketing. We got several offers and sold the house the week following the first open house. We got a very fair price, and we think the new owners got a great deal as well. Thanks to Mike and team!

Experiencia fantástica: Just sold my home in Palo Alto and Deleon blew me away! I've been a real estate investor for past 20+ years and this was the best real estate transaction I ever had. Michael and team has remodeled the real estate business and it works better than ever! I wish I found out about them 20yrs ago! Highly, highly recommended for sellers ... especially busy people or out of the area investors. Thank you Michael and team!!!

Experiencia fantástica: DeLeon excels in all aspects of selling properties, including great marketing / staging, skillful negotiation and highly professional customer relationships. I've been very pleased working with this great team.

Experiencia fantástica: DeLeon Realty recently represented us in the sale of our Menlo Park home. Michael Repka and his team did an outstanding job of consulting with us, staging our home, and providing legal counsel. We appreciated their full service professional approach and were astounded by the pace at which they move.

Experiencia negativa: If I could give this company zero stars I would, they are the most unethical company I have ever meet! They will ruin your tenants life and make sure thy hate you! They went in to take pictures to post on the website (pictures with the tenants property which they didn’t approve of) and went through all of my stuff, my drawers, my closet, my computer, my dishwasher, my kitchen cabinets, they tracked mud inside, they throw away stuff from the table, they dragged my heat press around, they have been coming in no stopping and forcing us to be ok with their schedule! They even left trash inside our house! They have totally ruin our quiet enjoyment and won’t assume responsibility at all! I contacted them several times and they have ignored me every single time! Do not hire them, they only care about money! Worse company ever!

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot say enough about Ken Deleon! There's a reason he gets so many stars on Google Reviews. If I could give him more than 5 Stars, I would! Ken sets the bar for "Excellence in Customer Service." After interviewing several agents/realties, we decided to go with the Condo Connect Realty to sell our condominium in Palo Alto. We did formal interviews with each agent and Ken stood out above the rest. This is why: (1) PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONABLE: From the first time we met him at the interview, both Ken and his Sales Director Mei were extremely buttoned up. What we loved about the team was while they were professional and articulate, they were also warm and personable. A perfect balance when working with both sellers and buyers. (2) KNOWLEDGEABLE: We wanted to make sure the team we selected knew the Palo Alto market because we knew that PA has unique intricacies from pricing to the type of sellers/buyers. Every question we threw at Ken, he had the answer to and more. In addition, we learned a lot from him because he would educate us on the nuances of various topics from real estate law to details involved in the selling process. Ken had data to back up his claims and had done a lot of in-depth analysis of the market that no other agent had. (3) INTEGRITY: During the interview process one criteria we used to evaluate agents was what they would do in hypothetical situations where there was grey space. Everything Ken said and demonstrated throughout the entire selling process has been with the highest integrity. In the real estate market, we have seen firsthand other agents who have not had the same moral compass that Ken exhibits. This was a big distinguishing characteristic that we especially appreciated. (4) COMMUNICATION: Ken's responsiveness in communications and clarity throughout the process took out a lot of the stress that typically comes with selling real estate. We were always able to reach Ken from little to big topics. Ken were especially good about covering all the details and following up on things that we inquired about. (5) CUSTOMER-ORIENTED: Last but definitely not least, Ken not only lived up to our expectations, but he over delivered. They were customer-oriented every step of the way from their patience, educative approach, professional staging, offer taking/evaluation, and dealing with challenges that arose outside of our control. I would recommend Ken and his team to anyone with the highest endorsement. His team would definitely be THE ONLY team we would consider for our next real estate transaction in the area.

Experiencia fantástica: Deleon Realty is very professional. I am happy with my purchase.

Experiencia fantástica: DeLeon Realty is simply the #1 nationally ranked realtor. You will not find another agency more competent and trustworthy.

Experiencia fantástica: 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.

Experiencia fantástica: DeLeon is different from most agencies. Their realtors work on salary not commission, so they don't pressure you. They have a full in-house team, great service. For example, they had a handyman to walk through our new house with us to help verify the condition, and give ballpark estimate for repair costs. Their service made the who process a lot less stressful.
