"Thank you for getting our “forever” house."

"Thank you so much for all you did to help us downsize from our two story house to a much smaller one in the same neighborhood. It was pretty scary to sell our home before we had a place to live, but you walked us through it; encouraging us every inch of the way! I loved your sense of humor that helped make light of some of the stresses in moving.

I was amazed at how easily everything fell into place when the sale and purchase took place within a couple months of each other. You handled the staging, listing, virtual tour, open house and the offer on the new place with such knowledge, professionalism and care. It is so obvious that you love what you do---helping people find the home of their dreams. I never felt you were pushy or after “the sale.” You wanted what was best for us and it showed in all you did.

I so appreciated how you explained everything so that I understood the entire process about selling and purchasing a house. You were always available to answer my questions. And so reassuring! It was very comforting to know that you always knew exactly what needed to be done. I felt you always had our back. That is the kind of realtor anyone would want and I would highly recommend you to any of our friends.

Thank you for getting our “forever” house. I couldn’t ask for better realtors! "

"A+++ people and service!"

"My family recently relocated from the East Coast. After having a few less than pleasant meetings with some very pushy agents, I ran into Skip at an open house. I told him up front that we weren't quite ready to buy yet, but he still took the time to talk to me and answer all of my questions-even though he knew he wasn't going to sell me the house he was showing.

When we were ready to start seriously looking, I emailed Skip. He and Renee took us under their wings and made the process of buying a new home-in a ferociously competitive environment-fast, easy, and fun! Renee took us out on a marathon house hunt on a hot day, and was such a trooper. She had really done her homework with our lists of wants and needs, and had a dozen houses lined up for us to see. She was fun and funny, but best of all (to our amazement) she COMPLETELY stuck to our wants, needs and budget!! We actually said a lower amount than we could afford, just assuming that we would be shown higher priced homes.

Because they have such a great knowledge of the areas, prices, and current market, when we found a house that we loved and followed their advice, we were able to beat out many other bidders and purchase our dream home.

I have small children, so phone conversations are tough. They were great about doing the bulk of communications via email or text, and any correspondence was returned very quickly. A huge plus when you are trying to handle business during nap times!

They are both very honest and upfront about any issues that need to be discussed, and because they have been doing work in this business for so many years, they are a wealth of information all around. On top of many restaurant suggestions, we also got referrals for an interior designer, handy man, and electrician that they know and trust. Priceless information when moving across to a new place!

They really go above and beyond to help out the families they are working with. Skip helped entertain my babies when a sitter backed out last minute for a walk through with the sellers, and also out of his way to purchase a second garage door opener for us when the sellers didn't provide it as advertised.

If you are looking to make buying or selling a home as painless as possible, I highly recommend The Levy Team!! A+++ people and service!"

"I will always recommend them to anyone who needs a Realtor."

"Last summer, I listed my home in Los Altos with The Levy Team. At that time, the housing market was very unsteady so I was nervous as to how long it would take to sell the house. The Levy’s have a very good grasp not only on the Los Altos market, but how to make the entire process of selling a home easier on their clients. With my job at the Los Altos Town Crier, I knew many of the Realtors in town and I chose to work with the Levy’s again. They helped me buy my home in 2000 and also helped my parents sell their home in Los Altos in 2000.

Like most homeowners, I wanted to get the highest dollar I could for my house. The Levy’s prepared a report with comparables in the area and helped me come up with the right price to list my house at. We also came up with a list of items I needed to do in order to show my house at its best. Knowing I did not want to spend a lot of money to make changes, we picked the ones that would get the best showing with the least amount of money.

Thanks to The Levy Team’s professionalism, attention to detail and great personalities, I was able to sell my house very quickly and settle into my new life. I will always recommend them to anyone who needs a Realtor."

"The Levy Team to the rescue!"

"Have you ever had your expectations exceeded in such a way that you couldn’t help but tell everyone in your path? That was my experience with The Levy Team! After 29 years living in the same house followed by a year of renting it while residing out of state, it was time to sell my home. A life-long friend suggested I use the Levys to sell my 54-year-old house. When I lived in my house, it was beautifully decorated and carefully maintained. Unfortunately, after the renters left, it needed a restoration plan with lots of paint and polish and I was states away... The Levy Team to the rescue! They cheerfully and confidently took care of all estimates, shuttling back and forth letting contractors in and out in a fully coordinated effort. Not even 4 weeks later my house was ready for the Realtor Tour followed by 2 days of open houses and 3 days later it SOLD with 10 offers ~ $62,000 over asking price!"

"On a scale of 1-10, you were an 11 ..."

"On behalf of my aunt and her extended family, I want to express our sincere appreciation for the superb representation you provided her in connection with the sale of her home in Cupertino, CA. From our initial meeting through the final closing, your work exemplified nothing but the highest in professionalism, integrity and overall service to your client. The sales price exceeded our expectations, and was directly attributable to your overall understanding of the market and skillful marketing plan.

In addition to the mechanics of effectively selling the home, you went above and beyond with respect to your care and concern for Marge during this difficult process. Given that her family does not live in the area, we could rely on your for all aspects of the transaction, including engaging all the necessary experts in the home inspection process; hiring contractors to resolve minor issues disclosed in the inspection process; and dealing with the disposal of items remaining in the household.

On a scale of 1-10, you were an 11, and know that our family really appreciates all the time, energy and effort that you committed to making this a smooth transaction, as well as personal time with Marge. Your work has been exceptional and thanks very much."

"They were always prompt in getting back to us, and made us feel special - we knew they were working hard for us, and wanted us to find our perfect home - which we did!"

"I highly recommend The Levy Team for anyone looking to purchase a home. Beginning with our initial meeting, it became clear that they were professionals, and that we were in very good hands. We were first time buyers, and therefore didn't know much about how to navigate the mysteries of home buying. They were friendly and professional, and let us know that we could contact them with any questions or concerns we had at any time. Renee was very patient with us throughout this entire process, making the sometimes frustrating method of figuring out what we were truly looking for both fun and exciting.

Once we found the home of our dreams (no exaggeration), Skip worked tirelessly with the financial agent they had recommended for us. Any bumps we encountered were smoothed over by The Levys, who understood this process which was completely foreign to us. Skip helped us with the inspections, and found all the right people to help us get through these challenges. We contacted the Levys in mid-October, and will be living in our new home in mid-January. I am amazed at how quickly and efficiently this process has been.

Whether you are a fist time buyer like us, or if you have been through this process many times, I know you will have a great experience with The Levy Team. They were always prompt in getting back to us, and made us feel special - we knew they were working hard for us, and wanted us to find our perfect home - which we did!"

"We had no glitches in closing, you kept up with each of the steps to assure a smooth close."

"We wanted to thank you for the great job you did in selling our house in San Jose. Who would have thought that in this market we would get four offers in four days!?! You read the market in suggesting the perfect asking price to bring in multiple offers to allow us to get more than the asking price. The brochure that you prepared for the house was beautiful, my whole family was totally impressed when I showed it to them. You were certain to get the house on the broker tour and then followed up with every possible lead to bring in the offers.

Before we went on the market you advised us to do all the right things to make the house picture perfect without spending unnecessary money. You helped us with the inspections, finding the painter, the staging, every step of the way you were there to help and support us in our efforts. You even went to the house when we weren’t there to look for Larry’s wallet when he misplaced it. What a great team the Levy’s are.

While we wanted to move, moving is always a difficult thing and you made it that much easier to leave our home of over 32 years. The new buyer seems to love the house so it was a great match. We had no glitches in closing, you kept up with each of the steps to assure a smooth close. We can’t thank you enough for all you did for us. Please feel free to have prospective clients contact us for a reference."
