Guide Real Estate - San Carlos, California

I've been so impressed by Guide through every aspect of selling my mom's house. Being family owned and a close knit team really made a difference to me as a client. Their professionalism and attention was key to making this a smooth process. Thank you to Guide and the team!

Alex Lehr and his staff are my Dream Team! Selecting the right realtor was a daunting prospect but I trusted my nephew’s recommendation and called Alex. After our first meeting, I sensed he was the right fit for me. Since I live in SoCal, it was imperative to find a realtor I could trust in the Bay Area. I listened to Alex and went along with his vision, recommendations, strategy, and staging. All of those steps resulted in closing prices that far exceeded my expectations! Alex and his team sold two homes for me that were on the market for less than 7 days. One sold in the Spring and one sold in the Fall so Alex can get the job done anytime. Trust Alex and his Dream Team. They are the professionals who know exactly what they are doing!

Aj Lehr (Guide) has been incredibly helpful as I navigate the process of buying a home. He is extremely knowledgeable about the somewhat complicated residential real estate market and has provided me with valuable information and insights that have deepened my understanding of this unique world.

As always, he takes the time to thoroughly answer all of my questions, making me feel informed and confident, as I continue my search for a place that I can call home!

AJ is both a solutions and results driven professional. With all the hiccups and pitfalls one experiences while looking for a house, he will be totally up front with you and actually come up with practical no-nonsense solution related options for you to consider.

Many real estate agents I've dealt with in the past 40 years in 4 states (California, New York, Colorado & Florida) relative to purchasing and selling homes, were agents who did not seem committed to me throughout the entire process.

I like that AJ is also very Customer Service driven (with a capital "C" and a capital "S"). His unique approach differentiates him from most other real estate agents I've met, as he makes you feel as if he actually has a fiduciary responsibility to give you the right guidance and advice. It's clear that his objective is to ensure that you're both satisfied and HAPPY at the end of the day.

AJ's patience & expertise are truly appreciated and I highly recommend him to anyone interested in buying (and/or selling) their home.

There are few things in life that are too good to be true...that are actually true. Guide Real Estate is one of them.

If you're looking to buy or sell a home and want a team that genuinely knows their stuff, you must call Gabriella, Denise, and Alex. I rarely leave reviews—this being my third ever—but I felt compelled to share the outstanding experience we had. This team isn't just extremely knowledgeable; they treat you like family, maintaining openness and honesty throughout the entire process.

We not only found our dream home but were also greeted with a wonderful congratulations basket complete with champagne and a special gift from our inside joke.

Gabriella, Denise, and Alex truly go above and beyond. They even helped us find people to make repairs post purchase. They are not just fantastic real estate professionals but great humans as well. 10/10, could not recommend them more! I wouldn't even think of buying or selling without calling them.

As Tina Turner sings, “you’re simply the best better than all the rest”. Our selling experience with Alex and his team (Drew, Denise, Eric Julia) was seamless. Professional, unbeatable patience with first time sellers, and his knowledge of the market and what it takes to sell a home in this environment is second to none. From our first meeting, he understood what we wanted most and he delivered. We highly recommend Alex Lehr.

By the summer of 2024, I’ve worked with many realtors over the years however The Lehr Group of Guide Real Estate are by far the best I’ve ever worked with! I was under some time pressure, and they got my house ready, sold and closed, at a fair price, before I had to leave for Europe. What they excelled at were: marketing, knowing the local market and market trends, and fantastic customer service. Their customer service involved, among many things, scheduling inspection reports, minor repair & painting, finding a top-notch moving company experienced in moving valuable artwork, as well as a quality auto transporter for my EV auto. Thanks, Katie, for a great job of initiating and maintaining the schedule of activities. Alex Lehr, the seasoned leader of the group was extremely knowledgeable, actively involved, and a pleasure to work with. He has assembled an experienced professional team who are very personable, responsive, easy to work with and successful go-getters. I had significant and very positive interactions throughout the process with Mike Aranda, another experienced realtor on the team. I am certain that if you work with The Lehr Group on either the buy or sell side, that you will find that they listen, and will excel for you.

The Lehr team was extraordinary! They provided an array of services far beyond anything I expected. Moving from our family home of 54 years into a condo half the size was a huge undertaking in downsizing. Without the Lehrs, I honestly don't know if we could have brought it off. They managed the process of moving items out over several months and got them sold, donated or recycled. They arranged the movers and were on site at our new home to help direct the moving-in process. They were supportive and efficient through every logistical and emotional challenge we faced. As for actually selling our house, their skills staging and marketing paid off. We had an offer within 24 hours of the first open house and they guided that offer through a quick and worry-free escrow.

The Lehrs also represented us as buyers. Again, the "beyond the call of duty" services were amazing. They managed several fix-up projects to help make our new home ready for move in, from installing light fixtures to mounting the TV to picking out the living room rug.

I cannot imagine that any company could compare in terms of attention to details, knowledge of the housing market, experience in negotiating, and personal kindness. Highly recommended!
