House in San Diego CA

“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. 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 f

San Marcos, CA

We worked with Hope for the first time on the recent sale and subsequent purchase of our home. From the first time we interviewed her, it was apparent that she set the bar for work-ethic and professionalism. With every meeting, she was highly organized and prepared and as we spent more time working together she became increasingly attentive to our preferences. I highly recommend Hope Leitner as a realtor and truly believe that when given the opportunity, she will become your realtor for life

   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.
