Melanie Leung
Co-owner and Head of Real Estate
Having grown up with parents working in real estate, I found my passion for this industry at an early age. I chose to follow in their footsteps after seeing how many clients they were able to help fulfill the American Dream of Home Ownership. After 7 years of working extensively in the San Francisco Bay Area, I have developed a keen understanding of the local market and always take the time to figure out what clients really need from me as a professional real estate broker. I take pride in serving my clients with the utmost level of care and professionalism. It is my job to ensure a smooth, worry-free, and satisfying experience for everyone involved.
As a mother of three children, I fully understand the aspects of finding the perfect home for your family. There are so many factors to consider which makes the home search quite arduous. Where do you start and what is most important to you? Is it the neighborhood or schools or safety? This is where I can offer my insight and guide clients in the right direction. Helping buyers find a home where they can raise a family and build memories for a lifetime is most rewarding to me.
I also understand a seller’s sentimental value when letting go of a place where they raised their kids and nurtured a home for thirty years. Helping sellers find comfort during the sale process is my specialty. With extra care and attention, I have been able to appease my clients and manage their properties delicately. These valuable experiences have allowed me to assist my clients during all stages of their lives – whether it’s their first home purchase, purchasing an investment property, or downsizing to a smaller home.
If you would like to know more about how I can fulfill your real estate needs, please contact me at your convenience.
