We have been working with Marcelino Garcia and Leslie Ayala. They have been wonderful to work with. Marcelino has gone above and beyond to assist us with some title issues we have come up against with the sale of our property. Marcelino and Leslie are extremely professional, have excellent customer service skills and are prompt in the follow-up/follow through. It's very refreshing in this day and time. Would recommend them to anyone looking to buy +/or sell a property.
Working with Leslie is truly a pleasure. She is an outstanding professional whose dedication, expertise, and attention to detail set her apart in the industry. The level of service she and her team provided went far beyond what any international company could expect. Leslie has an exceptional ability to understand a client's needs, anticipate challenges, and deliver solutions with remarkable efficiency and care. Without a doubt, we highly recommend Leslie for the search of any commercial space or warehouse.
Marcelino Garcia and Leslie Ayala are incredibly hard working and trustworthy brokers. I have known them for several years and they are always looking out for the best interest of their client. They will not only find a property, but analyze the location, market conditions and help set up any improvements needed. The best thing about them is that they are completely accessible — unlike a lot of brokers, they will immediately respond to texts, phone calls and emails. If you are looking for a commercial property as either an investor, owner or tenant in San Antonio — this is the best team you will find.
Marcelino has sold 3 properties for my family and I. He and Leslie are a great team to work with! They are there every step of the way and are available for any questions you might have! So if you are wanting to get your property sold at a great price I highly recommend this team!
Jenny and team sold our home and found us a new beautiful home of our dreams. The process for both was quick and easy. The team was professional and made sure we got what we wanted and stayed within our allotted budget. Highly recommend this team for any real-estate needs.
They are an excellent team. They do their job with great professionalism. The great thing about this team is no job is too small or too big for them. Definitely will always recommend them. Thank you very much guys!
