Testimonials

Carmel Valley Condo

Hope is a patient and considerate sale rep "...As a new resident to California and the San Diego area I choose Hope Leitner of Berkshire Hathaway and to help me with the purchase of a condominium in the Carmel/Del Mar area. The California real estate protocols were very foreign to me and Hope expertly assisted/coached and walked me through the process. Knowing my personal and financial requirements, Hope presented me with numerous options for viewing and consideration before finally settling on the final purchase. Hope is a patient and considerate sale rep who I would not hesitate to recommend and use again in the future."

- Alan F.

Land in Solana Beach

"Hope was fantastic to work with. She worked with my wife and I for almost a year in looking at homes, however we ended up buying a lot to accommodate specific accessibility needs. We are out of state buyers and Hope went beyond the norm in sending us multiple videos of properties and prescreened to make the process very efficient. Hope was instrumental in securing a very desirable lot in a location that fit our needs perfectly. Negotiations were complicated and she provided valuable insights and guidance in the process resulting in a successful outcome. I've worked in Real Estate Development for my entire career and I would place Hope at the top of my list of realtors that I would recommend."

- Joe K.

   Highly likely to Recommend

Hope sold our home in 9 days in March. She is a professional, is calm and thorough. She listens to the seller's concerns and needs and honors that throughout the entire process. When our buyer came back with a very high estimate for a specific repair, Hope went above and beyond and researched the buyer's inspectors and discovered they were not even licensed. She saved the sale and saved us over $90,000. Now that's a recommendation. I am currently looking at properties to buy and she is just as good being a buyer's agent as she was being our selling agent. You can trust Hope to tell you the truth. 


   Highly likely to Recommend

Hope has been our go-to agent for 9 years. We sold during a period when the market was peeking, and Hope laid out the time lines and expectations very clearly. We were well informed and kept up to date on all aspects of the process. The anxiety of closing can be quite nerve racking. Hope was very composed and helped to ease us thru the final moments of the process.We highly recommend Hope and would not hesitate to use her again in the future. 


   Highly likely to Recommend

We bought a home remotely with Hope. What made her stand out from other agents we have worked with was her organization, knowledge, and accessibility. Her assessment of the current state of the market was excellent, and once we had an offer accepted, she provided us with a timeline of events and deadlines, and consistently followed up with us to make sure everything was proceeding smoothly. Despite our very busy schedules (and living in a different time zone altogether) she made herself readily available to answer all of our questions and review all documents in as much detail as we wanted. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a dedicated agent who will keep you informed, respects your wishes, and goes above and beyond in looking out for your interests. 


   Highly likely to Recommend

Hope helped us find the home of our dreams. She kept us fully engaged in the process going above and beyond to make sure that all our questions were answered. She also was very helpful in stepping in when any hurdles arose. Overall the process went very smoothly. Would highly recommend to any friends or family. 


   Highly likely to Recommend

I have known Hope Leitner for over ten years as a professional consultant to our business. She is intelligent, capable, resourceful, responsible and personable. I recommend her highly and without reservation. 


   Highly likely to Recommend

I have bought and sold many homes over the past 24 years and I've never had such an amazing experience as I have with Hope. We were buying a new home from out of state and Hope was so prepared and thorough with the time we had together to see homes while we were in town. She was prepared for our long day with drinks & snacks as well as an electronic booklet of all of the 20 homes on the schedule to see. Hope's communication with us was on point and I never had a doubt that she was not on our side advocating for us during negotiations and the loan approval process. I'd like to think Hope went above and beyond for us but as I've gotten to know her more, I've realized that is just how she takes care of her customers. 


   Highly likely to Recommend

Hope is great! Honest, objective, extremely helpful and responsive. Hope helped us buy a house in Paradise Hills, within our price range and it was the perfect home for us. She made looking for and buying a home a smooth experience. She is the best!!! We highly recommend her! 

I help people understand the tax advantages, financing and investment aspects of home ownership (and rentals) and how to be better homeowners. I want to help you when you buy, sell and all the years in-between.
