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.

I was skeptical of all realtors prior to my engagement with DeLeon Realty. 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. I can recommend the DeLeon team wholeheartedly and without reservation.

We tried in early 2022 to sell our home with a different agent, without success, so we rented it out from mid-2022 to early 2025. Briefly tested the market with the firm who was managing the rental for us in mid 2024, again with no real success. We then found the DeLeon team. They were fantastic on every level. Beautiful staging, pro-active marketing in multiple geographies, well choreographed open houses. Went from listing on March 26 to offer accepted on April 30 to a closed transaction May 28. We were not in California for this entire period as we had moved, and they handled everything seamlessly. On every level it was not only professional, it was a delight to work with them. Honest discussions around market dynamics (note that the public markets fell and rose over 3000 points during the period the house was marketed, the DeLeon team were not shaken in the least and kept us sane), clarity for us around each stage in the process, and of course, a positive result. Cannot recommend them more highly. Absolutely the best firm in the Bay Area, bar none.

“I can’t say enough about our experience working with DeLeon. Every big and small detail was thought of and executed beyond expectations. The people were warm and totally professional. They have a really great business model—what I call wrap-around, comprehensive services. Everyone integrated their skills and expertise as one finely thought-out system…. DeLeon helped me do everything that needed to get done, including having the best sub-contractors for specialized tasks. We developed a budget and timeline. I kid you not, to the day, by maybe a week, the house sold on time for more than expected. I r ecommend them highly. They were easy to work with and gave me increased respect for what a real estate company can do, big or small.”

From our first initial meeting with the team, through the full process of preparing, staging, listing, showing, and selling our house, I have never worked with people as competent, responsive, and courteous as the team at DeLeon Realty. Selling a house is complicated. DeLeon has specialists for everything, from someone who knows the rental market should we have needed to rent an apartment short term, to the fixup project manager, to their handyman who oversees the contractors, to an attorney to help with our “disclosures,” to running the open house, to managing the title and escrow process. I believe everyone at DeLeon is on salary rather than commission, and they were all, clearly, there to help us. Communication was inevitably prompt and thorough. Ken DeLeon writes about Palo Alto and the adjacent real estate market (check out the interesting and insightful articles even if you’re not a client). They know the area intimately and it really showed…We were VERY happy with our selling price, and, predictably, DeLeon handled everything very smoothly all the way through the close of escrow. I ’ve bought and sold several houses, and have worked with a variety of agents, some superb, some less so. The DeLeon Team is the best—spectacularly good.

“I can’t recommend DeLeon Realty enough. They transformed our property over the course of a week, without calling us every hour. And then, they got us a sale price well above our expectations. This is the future of real estate. DeLeon Realty is playing chess in a field of checkers players. I strongly suggest that you talk to them if you’re thinking of selling.”
