Testimonials

Happy clients speak volumes about working with April.

My husband and I worked with April to purchase our first home in San Anselmo, and could not have fathomed having a better or more seamless experience. April is extremely knowledgeable about Marin County, not only in terms of the real estate, but also the important details such as schools, proximity to stores, each neighborhood’s “feel,” etc. We toured about 20 homes within the span of 10 days and finally found our perfect home, which was “off-market.” April had the connections to get us in early, and coached us perfectly through the whole offer, inspection, and closing process. Within such a short period of time, we truly felt April got to know both of us and our respective preferences, and was on our team. I would highly recommend working with April, she’s experienced, efficient, a tireless advocate for her clients, and an overall wonderful person.

We were incredibly impressed with April's service. We met her at an open house and she immediately demonstrated that she is first and foremost focused on meeting her clients' needs. We have bought and sold eight houses and it is rare to find an agent of April's caliber. She is a good listener, someone who understands our interests and the market, and she is remarkably conscientious. I wish that we had April handle all of our home buying and selling.

April was a god-send for us. We were relocating out of Marin on short notice due to a career opportunity, and April was able to meet and exceed all of our needs and expectations. April's knowledge of the local market enabled us to list our home at the top end of our price expectation and close the deal in a shorter time period than we ever expected. April also went above and beyond in terms of dealing with contractors and trades, as we were out of town by the time the deal closed. In short, we couldn't have done this without her and we were so lucky to have her on our team.

Our recent house selling process with April Lepito Smith was an excellent experience! April was delightful to work with, from start to finish. Her energy, enthusiasm, marketing ability, and negotiation skills enabled us to time the market properly in order to maximize the return on our home investment. April went above and beyond what I expected from a realtor. I believe her efforts to prepare and market our home were far above what is standard in this industry. We are so glad we chose to work with her!

We worked with April to buy our home in San Rafael, and we could not be happier with the experience of working with her. From the start, we were impressed with her level of engagement in our search and with her knowledge of Marin and of the market. She quickly understood what we were looking for and got us in early to a number of properties. We were impressed with her network and her pulse of properties coming available. April was engaging and professional, while making the home search fun. Through her network, she found our home before it was listed and got us in early. She helped us a run an expedient and flawless close plan. Everyone involved in the sale/purchase was impressed with her work and thrilled with the result. We look forward to meeting other happy neighbors who have purchased homes with April's help.

My wife and I recently worked with April to purchase our first home in San Rafael and I have to say it was such an awesome experience working with April. We kicked off our search on our own in early October looking at open houses and met April who was the realtor on another home we were looking at. We must have toured 20+ homes and met loads of realtors, however, April stood out. We followed up with her and asked her tons of questions about the market, the process of buying a home, and about her communication style and we realized April was a perfect fit. Once April was onboard, the process was much easier - we had access to early viewing of homes before they went on market, touring homes not on Zillow or Redfin, and she would consistently provide us updates on homes she had toured and whether or not she thought it would be a good fit for our needs. When we did find the right home which …

When we did find the right home which was within a month of working with April, she sat us down and took us through everything including the offer, her negotiation tactic for the property and coached us through all of it. Once the offer was accepted, she worked closely with our lender to ensure our quick close went smoothly while quickly organizing inspections, walkthroughs, and we closed with ease. I would recommend working with April to anyone, she is hardworking, knows the market very well, is well connected in the region and most importantly knows how to close a deal.

April went above and beyond to help my wife and I find the perfect single family home before it even went on the market. She did extensive market research and took the time to get to know our needs and budget. When it came time to negotiate we trusted that she knew what we wanted and had our best interest in mind. With the crazy SF market, April kept us in the running, without overpaying, by presenting a carefully planned out offer to the seller. April was with us during every step of the process. She is highly organized and spelled out in detail all the steps to complete and kept us on the timeline to get the deal done. April pays close attention to detail, especially when it came to all the paperwork, often keeping in close contact with our lender and making the escrow process as smooth as possible. She did a great job working with the seller's agents to meet all of our contingencies. …

It was an absolute pleasure working with April. She listened to our needs, shared her perspective, anticipated our every question/concern and really honed into finding the right fit for our family. I wish everyone brought the same high level of attention and enthusiasm to their work as April does. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

In a market this competitive April stands out for her knowledge, effort and focus. It's because of these attributes that we ended up in a home that exceeded our expectations. Over the course of our search we met numerous Real Estate Professionals but none so dialed-in as April. I can't rave about her tireless efforts enough.

As first time home buyers, we were battling through numerous emotions - excitement, anxiety, uncertainty and what not! Buying a home is definitely a difficult affair. Tons of quick decisions are to be made in a limited amount of time, being fully aware of our savings and future that are at stake! We spoke with agents from very reputed organizations, who were well informed and friendly, but something was missing! We did not feel confident in trusting them with the most important decisions of our lives, and then we found April! April is the most wonderful, affectionate, helpful and immensely knowledgeable representative one can get! Undoubtedly, she worked as hard as we did, or even harder than us, for finding the home of our dreams. She has an unbelievable turn-around time – responded to our mails at midnight's too! She is honest, spectacular in striking a cord with other agents and loves…

April is extremely warm and personable. She tries to cater to your needs and is very responsive at all times of the day and night! She will go out of her way to make you feel comfortable about the whole process. She made buying our first home feel a lot easier. Highly recommend her!
