I highly recommend Leslie Peterson and her team. She has handled the sale of 2 houses for us since 2020 and the transactions were flawless. She is quick, efficient, thorough, and accurate and very pleasant at the same time. In fact, for the house she just sold, we were out of town for the majority of the process and she was able to handle everything via email, text, and Docusign, keeping us informed at every step. We had no worries and the entire process from listing to money in our account took exactly one month. Amazing! If I had more property to sell, I would definitely use Leslie. She's the best.

We couldn't thank more, Leslie, Sheryl and Kristen for your professional hard work! The entire process was hands free for us especially considering all the notary, repairs, cleaning, and scheduling. You team is very resourceful and have great knowledge on the local market. We know you must have spent tremendous time on every detail of the transactions. We are so lucky to have you as our agents.

We purchased our first home with Kristen and we just have only good things to say about her. Kristen was able to get our house in a competitive hot market. She is a hard negotiator and very knowledgeable about the market and the closing process. She communicated with us regularly and was available to answer any question we had. We will be happy to recommend her to our friends to buy their dream house. You are in safe hands with Kristen and her colleagues.

I've spent the last 20 years rubbing shoulders with real estate professionals for my line of work, so I know a bit about the value of a good real estate agent. In today's environment, you may be tempted to think, "what's so hard about selling my house? You just stick a sign in the yard and then magically offers appear." Let me tell you from my multiple buy and sell transactions over the years, it's not that simple. For most of us, this will be the single largest transaction that we will ever conduct in our lives. There's so much that goes into this life-changing ordeal, from the preparation, the strategy, the execution, the review, the post offer process, and the myriad of decisions that lie between. Having a team of professionals like Leslie Peterson's team is simply invaluable. They were our sherpas through the process; setting crystal clear expectations, preparing every step of the journey, patiently addressing each and every concern we had, thinking of the questions that we weren't even asking, and providing flexible options to handle our unique scenario. Their expertise and guidance alleviated the many anxieties that we faced as home sellers, and their depth of resources/partners created a path that was transparent and easy to follow. Their communication is impeccable, and their attention to detail was a breath of fresh air (and I'm a control freak). Their experience and reputation in the industry is also an understated factor that helped us immensely during our transaction. Leslie's team has been around the block and knows pretty much every agent in the market. Trust me, this is super important because when you are dealing in competitive environments, having a realtor advocate on your behalf to the other agents ensures you have the competitive edge. To sum it up, Leslie's team knows how to strike the fine balance keeping you involved in the process but also getting things done without you getting in the way. My advice is to hire Leslie's team and let them perform their magic. You will not regret it!

We are so grateful for the Leslie Peterson team! Kristen was wonderful to work with and made the process seamless. As first time home buyers, she answered our millions of questions and helped us buy our dream home in a very difficult market!

We highly recommend Leslie Peterson and her team at Evolve Real Estate. We had moved out of California late in 2020 and it was finally time to sell our house in Palomares Hills. Having met Leslie some years ago at an open house, and knowing she is both a resident of Palomares Hills and has many years experience selling homes in our area, we contacted her about selling. Within days she had all the inspections scheduled. A week later she held a multi-day open house. Shortly thereafter we received multiple qualified offers. Leslie helped us to understand the finer points of each offer, so that we felt we were making an informed decision on which offer to accept. Following our acceptance of the offer, Leslie and her team continued to be in close communication with us right up until closing day. All of this was done remotely, by phone and e-mail, making it so much easier for us.

Leslie and team couldnt have made the selling experience any easier. Every question I had or concern expressed was quickly responded to and/or resolved immediately. Her team has an abundance of knowledge and experience with real estate all over the east bay and their professionalism was top notch. Thank you guys again for everything you did!!

I chose to work w the Evolve real estate team based off their responsiveness, transparency and access to information (they sent me a spreadsheet that showed the listed vs buying trends for the last few months that got me pretty excited to partner). Honestly the market is brutal (no surprise) but as 1st time home buyers it's particularly unsettling. We felt really comfortable w the team. We worked w Kristen and she made time to meet a few times, discuss our needs and start looking around (inventory was scarce which made her speed in scheduling appointments and getting back to us so important). Also, her network of referrals for lenders was super helpful. We interviewed a few and in the end went w a preferred lender (which serendipitously worked out so well because she was well known by the seller's agent). We searched for 2 weeks and had our 1st offer accepted. Kristen worked with us to craft an offer that was competitive and we were comfortable with making. We lucked out and entered into contract pretty soon thereafter. I'd recommend this team based off their network, local knowledge and speed.

Kristen was a fantastic resource throughout our homebuying experience. She always responded quickly and was available for all of our questions. Kristen was very knowledgeable about the area and the buying process in general and went to bat for us in a variety of ways-helping us to negotiate our offer well and then help deal with the financial and loan process once our offer was accepted. We found the absolutely perfect home and were able to purchase with her help; we had her knowledgeable and professional team on our side as well and they watched out for us when there were delays with home inspection and closing. Thank you so much Kristen!

Have to say - Leslie and her team went above and beyond to sell my townhouse. They were efficient, timely, honest and fair - all the while reassuring me and answering even the most trivial questions quickly and guiding me through the arduous selling process from start to finish. They were particularly gentle and mindful of my feelings and insecurities regarding clearing my treasures and preparing my treasured home to be viewed in its best light. Thank you Leslie! I would be pleased and honored to recommend you and your team's services any time!!
