Find Your Dream Home

“We moved to the Bay Area in March, 2005 from Pasadena, California. In searching for our new home, our first priority was to find a professional Realtor who knows the area well and at the same time cognizant of our needs and not simply to make a sale. Using the internet, we solicited profiles of Realtors that we can work with comfortably. The husban … d and wife team of Alex and Lenore Wilkas was our clear choice. In the six months that we searched for our ideal house, Lenore and Alex were with us all the time patiently showing a range of properties that fit our criteria. Since we were still living in Pasadena while house hunting, they sent us hundreds of digital photos of potential properties that would appeal to us. They were our eyes and ears in the Bay Area. This saved us a number of back and forth trips. Our first offer fell through. Likewise with the second offer. Finally, we found our ideal house. Thanks to the pricing strategy recommended by Lenore and Alex, given the market condition, and property location” Read More ▾

“My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Lenore Wilkas. After meeting and visiting just a few homes she had a good understanding of what we were looking for and was able to focus on visiting houses that matched our living preferences and style. When she saw the house we ended up buying she knew we would love it and called me right a … way. She asked the broker to please stay 30 min longer at a viewing so that she could swing by pick me up and take me to see it. We loved it and moved on the house right away. We had some back and forth on the price but quickly settled and closed in 30 days. Lenore really knows the peninsula, the schools and neighborhoods so was very helpful in getting us up to speed on the best places to live. She also knew when we saw our house with our view that there wasn't many houses out there with that view and we should move on it. She was extremely responsive and available and helped the paperwork process go smoothly. I highly recommend Lenore and Alex, they were such a pleasure to work with” Read More ▾

“Lenore and Alex have been absolutely wonderful. They clearly understand the emotional and logistical aspects of home buying from the buyers perspective and they are the generous and warm people you want to help you negotiate the process. They also have the experience of seasoned  Realtors, homeowners, and local residents to help even someone new to … the area and home ownership navigate the waters. Lastly they understand what is a very competitive and now fluid market well enough to help their clients make the most of their investment. And, in such a competitive market, whats better than one great Realtor on your side? Of course, two great Realtors committed to each other and to you” Read More ▾

“My husband and I had three days to find a place moving from Canada. If you didnt already know, this is pretty much impossible to do in San Francisco. Lenore devoted her time and attention to us and spent three full days for no commissions! Everything she showed us was exactly what we were asking for so she listened to what was important to us. … When it is time for us to buy a home in the Bay, we will use Lenore no doubt! Lenore was professional but we both enjoyed that she was personable as well. She made me feel right at ease during a stressful time. She spent much more time with us that anyone else would have and did it out of the kindness of her heart. No one wanted to give us the time of day because we were renting. That means a lot to me! She looked with us till the sun went down and then met us at the airport in the morning before our plane took off just so we could sign papers. She is a true gem! Please use Lenore and you wont regret it” Read More ▾

“When faced with the challenge of moving from San Diego to San Francisco my wife and I had to search remotely for our rental home. As the leasing agent for the landlords of the home that we eventually agreed to rent, Alex was incredibly patient with our circumstances of not being local. Additionally, he exhibited the upmost integrity by keeping true … to all of his commitments to us throughout the process. We certainly had many anxieties about moving to a new city in short order, but we had great confidence in Alex. We will definitely consider working with Alex in the future, when we decide to purchase a home” Read More ▾

“Lenore spent hundreds of hours with us searching for a home to purchase in the San Francisco Bay Area. We were extremely pleased with the results. After months of searching (both online and personal visits), we found our desired home.  She is very personable and has high integrity.”

“Lenore is very pleasant to work with. She understood what my needs and parameters are proceeded to show me homes that could potentially meet my needs and parameters. Once we found a property, she worked with the listing agent so we could present an offer that provided us with a high level of acceptance. Once our offer was accepted, she worked wi … th my lender to get the appropriate pre approval letter and confirming that we are able to do a 15 day close. We encountered a problem with the title company and she did everything she could to make things happen. She also helped correct an error made on a closing date and was able to get me a small refund for the real estate tax and HOA charges. I am now moved in and very happy with my purchase” Read More ▾

“I am a seasoned homeowner and knew what i wanted. Lenore took me out to look at properties that fit my description, in terms of location, amenities and price. We saw everything! However, she also took me to a few places outside of my description, based on her evaluation of me. This was where we hit the bell! She did everything you could as … k of a good Real Estate Agent, and then some! She was highly responsive, flexible with her time, had always prepared our trips, so that there was no wasted time, and I got to know the area quite well, including shopping, nature and other activities. Lenore also found me a local lender, which made the process a bit easier, rather than finding something on line, who also matched the best onnline offers in terms of cost and rate.. Lenore also put my old place on the market, and scored me a good price, as well as timed everything so that there was minimal overlap, and thus cost. I can highly recommend Lenore: You will be very happy you went with her” Read More ▾
