Bringing You The Best Of Diablo

ACTIVE, COMING SOON, SOLD!

YOUR BROKER FOR ALL SEASONS!

AT LUXE REAL ESTATE,

we love what each day brings: a new client, a new property, a new life circumstance. And we value each opportunity to help someone find their dream home or sell their long-time property to achieve something greater in life.

It’s an incredibly rewarding experience that we never take for granted.

“If you want someone to have your best interest at heart then Sante is your broker! He guided us ever step of the way to make sure we received top dollar for our home. He invested a ton of hours and energy to ensure we maximized our marketing and brought in a large amount of interested buyers. In addition, once we accepted an offer Sante made sure to follow up with the escrow company and even funded us earlier then the original closing date. It’s rare that I come on Yelp to write a review but I highly value good service and Sante is one of those rare brokers who believes in doing the right thing and building a relationship instead of a quick sale. Needless to say when it’s time to buy again we have our broker!”
