What clients say about this agent....
This review is so overdue, but the summary is Dale and Helen did an outstanding job getting our house ready to sell and then actually selling it and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Neither my husband nor I had family in the Bay Area and so we had always regarded our time there as a temporary thing. Well, the time had finally come - we were closing on a house in Washington and it was time to look at selling the house he had bought a long time ago. We?d kept up with all the major structural things - new pipes, updating the electric, a new sewer line, that sort of stuff - but the kitchen was still original and the primary bathroom was definitely nothing to write home about. While we finished closing on our new house, we started the process of interviewing various realtors. Dale and Helen stood out as honest, fair, and willing to give our project their attention. Moreover, at least one review said they had done a fantastic job managing the prep while the owner moved out of state. Sign me up! I am here to be another voice that they did an excellent job of managing the entire prep process and the sale itself. We met a few times before the move to go over some of the disclosure paperwork and discuss the things that might need to be done and what our budget was. The landscape work started even before the movers had our stuff loaded on the truck (and to be fair, it needed a lot of work) and I left the keys behind for the indoor contractor to start later that afternoon (along with the power brick and chair they loaned me when the power went out for my last two days at the house!). From that point, all I had to do was approve the work done and write checks and they took care of the entire process for me. I got timely updates and was happy to rely on their advice regarding what helps the house sell - after all, the whole point was that it wasn?t going to be our house anymore. When the house did go on the market, they did a lot to drum up interest and hosted open houses that weekend. We had a total of five offers presented to us for our selection and were absolutely amazed by the price we got for the house (even knowing it was a seller?s market!). Helen and Dale did a lot of legwork to support closing the deal, including pulling comps for the appraisal and answering questions as needed. From our point of view, all we had to do was choose the offer and sign the paperwork when the mobile notary came by our new house - they took care of absolutely everything else and we are incredibly grateful to them because navigating all of that from two states away could have been a nightmare. They were also incredibly supportive when, on closing day, a major medical complication came up that prevented us from being quite as celebratory as hoped (and indeed is the reason this review is so overdue). They called to check in multiple times after the fact and in general made it clear that we were humans to them and not just clients. I cannot say enough good things about how much it helped to have the house sale DONE while dealing with all of that and a huge part of it is because of their hard work. Other agents might promise the moon but Helen and Dale delivered for us and I never felt like just another house in the assembly line. I?d work with them again if we ever came back to the Bay Area.
Both Dale, and his partner, Helen, were very knowledgeable, and knew exactly what features buyers are looking for. They helped me sell my condo to a young, first-time buyer. The value of these properties had gone up, since I purchased it. The condo sold for substantially more than I had paid.
Very good company who regards their customers interests above their own. They have realized the tough position people who sell their home are in, and made it possible for people with tighter margins to realize a dream of upgrading their home. We would not have been able to buy our recent home without the existence of this business model. Thanks!
We were fortunate enough to buy our first home with the very talented Helen Gardin. Being first home buyers, we had no idea what we were doing, Helen was so patient and supportive through the process of purchasing a home. Our situation was difficult being that my husband was living in Colorado through the process and Helen handled every problem and glitch with absolute professionalism. She was knowledgeable and considerate for our needs in a home and found us exactly the home we wanted. I can say that we could not have done it without her! We are very grateful for her wonderful service and highly recommend her for any real estate needs.
My fiance and I met Dale and Helen at an open house last year when we were still dreaming about buying our first home. We were scared because prices kept getting higher and higher, heard about crazy bidding wars, and almost gave up. Dale and Helen kept in touch with us, not just letting us know about new properties coming on the market but also about how the market was doing. Fast forward to this year. We heard from Helen that the market was changing and that prices were starting to come. We decided to get together with Helen to see if we could really do it, having almost lost hope of ever buying a home in the bay area. Dale and Helen showed us a report showing how home prices were falling as the number of homes for sale were increasing. Dale and Helen told us that they will make this process as easy as possible for us. They definitely kept their words. We started out just to look until next year came around. Instead, we found the perfect house within a month. They are always on top of things and in constant communication with me.I couldnt ask for a better person to help us out with this huge experience. I definitely recommend them to anyone buying, and Im sure theyd be just as good as a selling agent!
If you ask me where to find the best agents, check out the Warfel Gardin Group. Dale and Helen were always available when we had questions and were very knowledgeable about the market in the specific areas we were searching. Their negotiating skills were superb, and we were able to get the first house we made an offer on. Dale and Helen are very nice people as well and we plan on using them again in a few years when we decide to sell our home. We couldnt be happier with our experience with the Warfel Gardin Group and if you are looking for the right agents to represent you, your search has ended!
I wanted to write this testimonial for Dale Warfel and his team. We had an excellent experience with Dale and we could not have sold our home as quick as we did for top dollar with anyone else. We hired a so called Top Broker in the Fall of 2016 and gave them our listing for 3 months, it was a disaster from day 1. Not only did we have major issues with this agent and their team, we did not get 1 offer over the 3 month period of time. We decided to regroup and reach out to Dale. It was the best decision we made! Our family had moved out of state and Dale and his team coordinated everything to make sure our house was in tip top shape ready for sell. He recommended a few small things to do to the home in which he organized and took care of our staging. The great thing about this process was his communication with my wife and myself and his professionalism. He literally took care of everything while we were living out of state. His service was incredible but the most important thing was the sale of our home. His marketing plan and follow up was top notch and the results spoke for themselves. We ended up getting multiple offers within a couple of weeks on the market and Dale negotiated a final sales price that sold well over asking price. Dale was amazing and I would highly recommend him if you are looking to sell your home. You will be well taken care of in a professional manner and he will not stop until your home gets sold for the appropriate sales price. Dale and his team are the best, and it?s not close.
Dale and team definitely went above and beyond his job. 5 stars is not enough to give it to him. He helped me to sell my house quickly without any issue. I am so satisfied with the way he handled the complicated situation as well.I asked ton of questions, he was always there to explain clearly. Followed up with me after close of escrow to make sure everything is perfect. Looking for an agent to close the deal is easy, but looking for a good agent who has full real estate knowledge, always protect your benefit is NOT easy that is why I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dale and his team to all buyers and sellers in real estate needs
Only agent who knocked on my door and presented a home value package. I said it would be a few years. He stayed in contact and demonstrated presentation and negotiation skills that benefited my bottom line. Thanks Dale, we appreciate and recommend your services.
We hired Dale after our first agent was unable to sell our house. He made swift recommendations for minor work to the house and coordinated the staging. His techniques got our house back on the market and we received an offer in a matter of days. He kept us up to date and got our house sold in no time. Dale is professional and extremely hard working. Thank you Dale!
