When we asked Patrick Leaper to sell our Berkeley hills house, we were living two states away.  Leaving Berkeley is hard, but selling the house turned out to be easy.  From our initial phone call to the final wiring of the check, we were in excellent hands with Pat Leaper.  His decades of experience paid off in effective marketing that led smoothly to a painless closing…He even arranged for painters and floor refinishers to help us get the house market ready.  And when the bids came in, he steered us to a wise choice.  If we return to Berkeley, we’ll turn to him again to help us find another great house.

When I met Pat Leaper in 1974, I remember being impressed by his honesty and straightforward approach to selling houses. It was clear to me and my family that Pat was not just trying to sell us a house, he was willing to take the time to help us find what we were looking for—not an easy task when we were not really sure ourselves! Over the years Pat has sold and helped us buy several homes, and we have recommended him to many friends. There has never been an occasion for us to alter our high opinion of Pat, his integrity, intelligence and commitment to doing all he can to make what can be a stressful event a happy one.

Dear Pat,

We wanted to make sure you know how much we appreciate all your experience, wisdom, patience and hard work on our behalf.  We really love the house and are so excited about its possibilities.  We learned a tremendous amount from you, and the reward is owning this great house.

Dear Pat,

 Well I don’t know if I can begin to express what a pivotal role you had for us in this experience. Your guidance provided us a great deal of confidence. The process of purchasing this house was akin to standing in a n unlit room with a dozen people telling they were going to turn the light on, but only you actually handing me a light. There is no question what a stressful time it was but I can hardly imagine what it would have been like with out your expertise and know how. I feel really lucky to have had you on my side.

            This house is alive with good spirits. Life is pretty sweet. Thanks.

Dear Pat and Merritt,

Both Christina and I wanted to thank you both for all the hard work in selling our home in Albany, and helping us to find our new home in Berkeley. We greatly appreciate your time, effort, energy and patience, and both were very pleased with the result…

You both did a great job, and we won’t hesitate to use you again (although we’re not moving for 30 years!) or recommend your services to friends, neighbors and colleagues.
