We are a dedicated team, and our clients’ interests always come first.
“Choosing DeLeon Realty and Audrey Sun and team to sell our home was the best decision we could have ever made! We had to move out of state for family reasons and just a couple days before getting on the plane, I met with Audrey and decided to work with her and handed over the keys on the spot. From the get-go she engendered trust – she was straightforward, knew what she was doing, super smart, on top of things, and I felt confident that I would have peace of mind leaving it to to her and her team. I loved that they had a team of specialist professionals for all the different aspects involved – staging, marketing, selling, etc. It can be stressful selling a house remotely. But Audrey and her team were simply amazing and took care of everything for us, so we never had to worry. Margie, the design lead, coordinated and managed vendors (both their recommended as well as some of our own prior vendors) for clean up, improvements, design, staging, inspection, and marketing photos/videos. She transformed our house so that we fell in love with it all over again, and apparently so did potential buyers! If only Margie could design/decorate our new place we moved to! Their communication every step of the way was top notch. They consulted with us for all decisions, and listened to what we wanted but also offered their expert advice and we mostly went with their recommendations, which in hindsight was pretty much always right. E.g., on pricing, Audrey’s recommendation differed from our initial gut, but we decided to trust her expertise. And boy, was she right. Our house had a mind-blowing number of offers – it must have been so much effort to work with so many potential buyers. On offer day, Audrey presented an organized summary of the offers and recommendations. We were really happy with the offer we accepted. Audrey’s assistant Joanne was great too, in helping to coordinate a flawless closing. I could not have imagined a better experience! My husband also raves about how wise I was to have chosen Audrey Sun & DeLeon Realty.”

“Michael Repka and his team did an outstanding job selling our home in Palo Alto, and I find it hard to believe that anyone would work with another agent. 1. The marketing materials and strategy were of exceptional quality. The money and the time they spend on this is unmatched by any other Realtor® as far as I can tell. 2. Michael worked hard to get us the best price, even though there was a willing buyer working with DeLeon’s buying team. In other words, DeLeon gave up commission so we could get the best deal for our home. 3. Michael’s training as a lawyer means that he understands negotiating strategy and financial implications of various deal structures in a way that is superior to any other Realtor® I have encountered. I recommend them without hesitation.”

“Michael Repka was our agent and was very impressive. I believe he oversees the entire listing side of DeLeon but, even during the busy spring selling season, when DeLeon had loads of other listings, it felt like we were his only client. Every email, no matter how trivial or anxious, was returned within the hour, and his prediction on the expected number of offers and eventual sale price was spot on.”

“I had a really positive (and successful!) experience with Michael Repka’s team at DeLeon….
Michael had listened to what items of any potential offer were important to me and obtained for me exactly the type of offer I was looking for. I have bought and sold 5 houses in my lifetime, and the DeLeon experience was indeed different than any other experience I have ever had. I would highly recommend them.”

“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.”
Andrea S.– former Palo Alto resident
“Michael Repka and DeLeon are extraordinary. From our initial contact with him at a seminar to our first individual meeting with him and a few of his 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 Michael and his people. 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. Michael and Ken DeLeon write about Palo Alto and the adjacent real estate market (check out their 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. Michael and his team are the best—spectacularly good.”
Alex M.- Palo Alto resident
“It was a pleasure to work with DeLeon Realty. After interviewing several Realtors®, we selected Michael to represent us when we sold our home in Palo Alto. They took care of every step of the sale process with professionalism, never being pushy and aggressive. The sales process was done quickly and they sold our house in Palo Alto within 1 week or so, well above listing price.
This was the first home we have ever sold, and Michael helped us…with his professionalism and knowledge. Their team who handled my listing was professional, attentive, and flawlessly executed the sale from beginning to end. Even though I was not in the state, they would promptly let me know of the updates and I had nothing to worry about.
I would very highly recommend the DeLeon Realty team to anyone selling a home in the Peninsula area, and will definitely recommend family and friends to them.”
Yuwen C.– Palo Alto resident
“I couldn’t be happier with Michael…and the entire DeLeon Realty team. The team-based model they used to market and sell our home worked like a charm. I don’t know why everyone else doesn’t do it the DeLeon Way.”
David O.- Palo Alto resident
“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.”
