Our reviews from many happy families and individuals speak to our enduring commitment to go above and beyond to provide a superior service to all of our clients.
“Very knowledgeable and accommodating, highly recomendable...whenever we need help or question leo is very responsive even after hours. We are looking for a house since last year with our former agent but with no luck, but leo found us a good deal very relentless on searching for houses.”
“When my Husband and I decided to take our chance on buying a house, We contacted Mr. Leo Bato through a referral of a very good friend. As a first time home buyer in this crazy competitive market, Leo explained every step of the process, patiently educated us and gave all possible options applicable for us. Leo was available at any given time, ready to answer all our questions. Leo was there throughout the entire process from getting us pre-approved to finding our potential house to buying it. We encountered a lot of major bumps during the process that we almost gave up but with his “we can do this” attitude, proper guidance and support, we were able to push it until we were able to purchase our very first newly built house.
He is the BEST REALTOR!!! He’s very experienced, has excellent people’s skills and always after our best interest. Very dedicated that will go above and beyond for you. We highly recommend Mr. Leo Bato”
“My husband and I was selling our home and needed an honest, reliable, trustworthy , and knowledgeable realtor. We found Leo through a family friend and he was highly recommended.
Leo found us a buyer immediately. I was truly impressed with his knowledge and creativity during the process. Our transaction was a very complex one due to tax liens against the property. Luckily, Leo was able to convinced the buyer and the buyers agent to extend escrow closing due to our circumstances.
Leo and I worked together as a team to make things happen. Yes, he took care of us like family. He represented us with such loyalty and care. While I was busy putting together the documents for IRS, Leo’s patience was tested. He was very supportive and patient during this entire transaction. I have not met a realtor like Leo. He is an amazing realtor hands down!”
“Our home buying experience was a rollercoaster. Unexpected life changing events, COVID19, and a lot of competition. As first time home buyers some of the process is scary and intimidating but thanks to leo it was also exciting and comforting. He was there to answer all questions and phone calls, to reassure us when needed, and to guide us through the process. Even though the market is tough leo knows exactly what to do and when to do it. He made what we wanted possible and got us the home we wanted. If there is anybody I would recommend it is leo and associates for your home buying experience, you will not be disappointed.
The Flores family”
“As first time home buyers we really didn’t know what to expect when entering the housing market. Working with Leo was the best. He always has his clients interests as his top priority and on many occasions went far above and beyond what we expected. We’d 100% recommend working with Leo and his team any day.”
“Leo is an amazing Real Estate agent! He is so patient and so caring, especially since it was the first home that we were buying. He took his time to explain things and followed up to make sure that we did not have any more questions. We are very happy with our experience and will likely use him again for our future home purchases.
Thank you Leo!”
“Our home buying experience took unexpected twists and turns that can easily intimidate first time home buyers like my husband and I in today’s challenging COVID 19 market. Leo Bato and Associates were one of the crucial elements to our advantage in purchasing our first home. They were prepared for every hurdle we faced, kept us educated and informed of options available for us and the possible outcomes of each choice we made. Leo was accessible at any time of the day to answer questions and put our minds at ease. It is a tough market for home buyers right now but the knowledgeable staff and the “never give up attitude” of Leo Bato and Associates made it possible for us, in the fullness of time, to purchase the home that we love!
So if you are ready to embark in one of the biggest journeys of your life, we highly recommend that you truly consider Leo Bato and Associates to help you find and purchase the home of your dreams!”

“Leo was more than helpful finding us our new home. He was extremely communicative and answered every question we had. We received timely updates from him and he guided us every step of the way. Though we had unfortunate issues with the seller, he was resilient and went above and beyond in helping us close the deal. Next time we do business, we are definitely coming back to him. We highly recommend Leo! 10/10”
“Leo, Clifford and their whole team are amazing and absolutely wonderful to work with. This is by far the best real estate company I’ve experienced. They are very professional, experienced, helpful and on top of everything that is going on. What amazes me is the prompt response on every text or call, literally in seconds! I highly recommend them. Trust me when I say how much they care about their clients. They are someone who understand our needs from the very first step til the end. I would totally work with them again. Thank you Leo, Clifford and the whole team for everything. You have exceeded our expectations and beyond blessed to have you guys.”
“Leo was referred by a good friend of mine. I told my friend that I would need someone who is “go getter” and will be aggressive enough to get my dream home despite of tight competition in the market.. and then she recommended Leo. He is very knowledgeable about the market. We were always informed about the situation. He has guided us throughout the process of Selling and Buying our house. It was indeed mission accomplished when he sold our townhouse above asking price, and got our beautiful new house not over priced. Leo treated his clients like his own family and close friends. He makes sure to go beyond and his goal is to help out at all times. He likes making impossible, be possible. I really appreciate the extra effort he puts in and hard work for his clients. He also build great team to make sure he makes time for everyone. Always available and response promptly. I will highly recommend Leo to any of my friends and family.”
“Leo was very involved and kept us updated with the process. He worked very hard to make sure we received what we were asking for. He is very professional and was looking out for our best interest. I trust and respect Leo for what he did for me and my family. You can’t go wrong with Leo.”
“Leo is the best realtor we’ve ever worked with in every way. He is very professional and very supportive of the client, especially during a difficult time to sell a home during the pandemic. He had a great strategy to sell our home and made the experience as easy as possible for everyone, respecting everyone’s concerns about safety during a pandemic. He is a very caring realtor and has a fantastic team that supports him in helping clients. A very professional and caring team.
Leo goes above and beyond for his clients and is very available whenever you need him. There is no better realtor to work with.”
“Leo and his team are excellent. They are very knowledgeable and professional and made the selling of my house a rewarding experience. They were able to successfully guide me through preparing my house for sell. Once it was prepared, they set up a virtual walk through that expertly displayed the key aspects of my house. The day before the house went on the market there was already several people who stopped to look at the house from the cars. On the actual day of opening, there where several groups who set up appointments to look at the house. For the actual in person walk throughs, Leo and his team vetted the groups and had a clean station with face masks, gloves. booties and hand sanitizer ready to make the walk though safe for everybody. Within a few days we had several creditable offers and was able to sale the house quickly and profitably.”
“We had so many fears and insecurities about our home , and the way we staged it . From the beginning Leo reassured us he will take care of selling our home . Leo and his team are so professional, knowledgeable, kind and patient . We have texted , called so many times . All answered promptly.They never made us felt taking much of their time. .Magically in few days we sold our home more than the asking price with multiple offers . I will Recommend him again and again .”
“Leo is the best! Buying a new house, while very exciting, comes with several periods of stress and indecision. Leo and Armando did an amazing job with guiding us throughout the process, managing our expectations, and coming up with the strategy to close the deal. There are not too many agents that you can trust and depend on. Leo was very transparent throughout all negotiations and made sure that we understood our options. I would recommend him and his team to anyone looking for a house. Thank you Leo and Armando!”
“We are fortunate and honored to get to know you through our common friends. Thank you so much Leo Bato for encouraging as to be patient when we almost gave up.

“Leo Bato is a very reliable Real estate agent. He walked me through step by step along the way of getting my first house. From renting for 17years now to a first time home buyer. It will not be possible without his help and knowledge. A person who is willing to go above and beyond. A friend, and kind hearted person inside and out.”
“Leo and his team were very attentive and knowledgeable with the whole real estate process. They answered all of our questions in full detail, were always available when needed, and helped sell our house fast and for a great deal. Highly recommend!”
“Our family was offered the referral to use Leo Bato and his team to help us sell our home. Due to the many challenges of the world during this time period, we needed an extremely knowledgeable and experienced agent that was willing to listen to and understand our needs, and requests, as well as educate us on the challenges of the current market and protect us. Leo Bato and his entire team at Century 21 Peak, not only made us feel heard, but gave us the confidence that we would achieve the goal we set for them. The team did such an amazing job in utilizing a multitude of marketing tools to expose our beautiful home to potential buyers that we received multiple offers and sold our home in 2 days at a price beyond what we even expected. There are no words to describe our gratitude for their efforts and level of professionalism. We will forever refer you and your team without any hesitations.”
“What a journey it has been! 3 1/2 years ago, I approached Mr. Leo Bato through the referral of a good friend. I had a lot of fears and anxiety about the process at that time being a first time home buyer. Leo and his associate Armando always addressed my anxieties professionally by explaining patiently every step of the process. They always had my best interest at heart.
Fast forward in 2020, we contacted Leo & Armando again. This time, our transaction is not as simple as before. It’s a chain of multiple transactions at once. We wanted to upgrade to a new house; however, we were only going to do it if we could sell our current home at the same time. Leo and Armando suggested on doing contingent contracts of both our buying and selling transaction. Our house was sold quickly for a higher price than what we expected. However, the seller of the house we wanted to buy also had contingent clause for them to buy their new home. And if this was not complicated enough, this pandemic happened creating even more complexity to the situation. Amidst all these complexities, however, Leo and Armando stood firm as a rock and managed the situation accordingly. It was like watching a Master Conductor orchestrating an opera so skillfully. They made IT happen! I am beyond amazed. We celebrated the 4th of July in our new home, truly a fulfilment of our American Dream. Thank you Leo and Armando. You are simply the BEST among the BEST!!!”
“Leo Bato was the ultimate professional. Leo had to deal with many challenges during the sale of my property and he faced every challenge with a positive, optimistic attitude. Even when I lost hope, he never gave up and always had encouraging news for me. He deserves an award just for the time and dedication he put into selling my property. I don’t know any realtor that would have stuck with me through all the challenges in getting my property sold but he did and he did it with a great attitude. He demonstrated his knowledge and expertise every step of the way in this transaction.”
“I’ve known Leo Bato since 2006, we’re co-worker to became a family friend. 2-3 years ago we ask him how can we buy a house. He check our history and told us to wait a few more years. Now that we’re ready, things are fix, we contact him again and ask the same question and yes it’s the right time. He gather all the info for pre-qualify and yes we did it according to his guide. Leo explain everything details to details, step by step on our level, in order to understand. It’s my first time buying a house and I truly understand it. Him and his assistant Armando are just a phone call away regardless of their busiest day they will always return your call. Armando has a patience driving and showing us a house. 3 house in a day, then 7 houses on the other day for the the last time and we already know what we want from the first visit. Leo never missed any details to inform us, he always keep us posted via phone call, txt, email till we got the key. My Family and I were so happy and thrilled with this new home. Leo Bato guide us all the way. We couldn’t done it without him. Thank you so much for all your help Leo Bato and Armando. You made another FAMILY a HOME SWEET HOME. We can’t wait to start a new memories in this new house. Once again with bottom on our heart Thank You, thank you so much Leo Bato and Armando Sanchez.”
“Leo and his team offered superb service with real estate and loan processing. We appreciate his strong knowledge base and professionalism. Happy to refer him, Armando and Oree. Very happy customers!”
“Leo helped us find our new home with ease. The process for buying our home couldn’t of been as easy as it was. All of our questions were answered in a timely manner and always made sure that we were up to date with the entire process. Thank you Leo!”
“They are 100% behind you all the way thru till house sold and even after that, they still contact you and ask you if everything is ok, and even his assistant was helpful too. I will recommend him to all my friends...”
“Very knowledgeable, compassionate, understanding, professional & many more...the one word to describe him & his team is “THE BEST”
He & his associate live far away like 2 hours plus but came down to my house , guided me from step A to Z! Able to list & sell my house after on listing only 4 wks! He also helped me to deal with all the obstacles during my renovation of the house”
“LEO BATO & ARMANDO SANCHEZ ARE THE DYNAMIC DUO OF THE VALLEY! THEY MET MY EVERY NEEDS AND THEN SOME!
THEY LISTENED WELL TO MY NEEDS AND WENT ABOVE AN BEYOND TO MEET THEM RAPIDLY!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE!”
“Leo and his group were excellent in meeting their client’s needs. They are available anytime and they would really fight what is best for you. They always give you options and help you decide to reach a good decision. Thank you so much for helping us and doing an excellent job!!!”
“Sir Leo Bato has helped my fiancée Karen and I into buying our first new home. We were first hesitant on making these type of decisions because we were unsure if we can handle it but rest assured, Leo has guided us step by step and walked us through each process into buying this property. For first time home buyers like us, we had no knowledge about the real estate but he explained it to us well detailed and informative. Also his associate Armando Sanchez and to the rest of the Century 21 Peak team were there to guide us in every step of the way. We can’t say enough about the care and service that Leo Bato provided and will continue to highly recommend him at every opportunity we can.”
“We recently worked with Leo. He helped us in selling our condo and finding our dream home in Santa Clarita. As a first time seller we are very happy working with him and satisfied. He treat his client with care and like a family. He is very knowledgeable and both him and his assistant Armando were always there to respond and answer to all our questions and concerns. They guided us through the entire process of selling and buying a home. We can’t wait to move in our new home! Thanks Leo and Armando!
We strongly recommend Leo and will definitely work with him again!”
“Five stars and highly recommended! Leo is attentive, detail oriented and professional. Leo & his team helped & guided my husband and I throughout the entire process of getting us pre-approved, finding & buying our first home. Grateful for your services, thanks again!”
“We found Leo through a friend recommendation. Leo is awesome! He really listened to what we were looking for and work hard to find us just the perfect home. He was always available and really honest. We had the pleasure to work with Leo he went above and beyond our expectations from a real estate agent he made the selling process easy and comfortable for our family. He and Armando help us getting the tenant for our lease property and make sure to get our deposit back. It was a great experience working with Leo he is a real professional and we could not be more happy with our decision to work with him and would recommend him to anyone.”
“I could go on and on about our home buying experience. Leo Bato and his team provided top notch service from start to finish (even post-closing!). I personally knew Leo from my younger days and so the trust has already been established to begin with. Regardless of this, he made it a point to gain both me and my husband’s trust and confidence on a professional level. As we are first time home buyers, he educated me and my husband on the entire home buying process and set realistic goals and expectations. Leo was very engaging and eager to share his knowledge. Leo and his team were all very professional. I must say they were extremely patient as my husband and I had numerous questions on almost every phase of the process. He made us feel at ease and reduced our stress level by miles! He was very efficient and knew exactly how to manage setbacks and move the process along smoothly. By the way, just to prove how good he and his team is, we put an offer on the house second week of May and we closed escrow and moved in to the house before end of June, even with a few unanticipated delays (amazing right?! YES he is!!!). We never felt we had to worry about anything knowing he has our best interest in mind and that he’s got everything under control.
I think it also matters how Leo has such a vibrant and sunny disposition. He was just as excited as we were in getting our home. He paid attention to all our concerns and gave us his opinion, which we are grateful for. He always had an answer to our question, no matter how silly we feel they may be sometimes. Yet, not once did he make us feel bad for asking. He actually encouraged us to ask questions to make us feel better about our purchase and that we are happy with the outcome. More importantly, he remained transparent throughout the process and with all the transactions. Everything is legit! No wonder he’s TOP 1 five years in a row (since 2015)! He deserves the highest praise for helping me and my family and a lot of people purchase their home. I would definitely recommend Leo Bato and his team to anyone. -purpldoll”
We were lucky to have Leo as our realtor! He explained to us the steps in buying a home and every step of the way, he was there to guide us! Leo is honest, responsive and trustworthy. He was there to explain to us (first time home buyer) the do’s and don’ts of home buying. Leo and his team went above and beyond for us to make this purchase happen. He is a master negotiator and was able to accomplish all the goals in our list. Even after closing Escrow, Leo was there to guide us and give tips on how to remodel our kitchen! I would recommend Leo and team to friends and families and when it’s time for us to buy again, I know Leo will be there to help us get that house we want! Thank you, Leo!! -magikero
This will be a long review, so please, bear with me.
Back in 2013, I approached Leo to ask if it was a good idea to buy a house. It was a dream that me and my family had for a while to have a house of our own, and even though our situation at that time was "challenging" (which is the understatement of the year, I assure you,) Leo was able to pull off a miracle for us. He worked with our credit and our income, helped us look at countless listings, and it truly was a "Pressure Free" buying experience. When we (eventually) found a house that we liked, Leo was able to get us the house in 30 days. It was an amazing experience to be able to understand how buying a house works, and it's all because Leo was there every single step of the way. He got us the best deal that he could, and fought for every cent. In the end, he was able to get us money to help renovate the house, He truly has his client's best interest at heart.
Fast forward 6 years later, I was ready to move on from our starter home and again I approached Leo to ask if it was a good idea to sell the House (do you see a theme here?), and Leo again stepped up. He again explained everything that goes into selling a house, and again, with his help, together with Armando and his team, they were able to formulate a marketing strategy to be able to sell the house at a very competitive price. Again, Leo and his Team were there EVERY, SINGLE, STEP OF THE WAY. Truly an agent that you can count on. Thanks to Leo and His team, the House sold above the asking price, with multiple offers to boot. He and his team were Professional, Reliable, and above all Trustworthy. They truly have their Client's best interest at heart, and for those reasons, they are the only team of people that I trust when it comes to Real Estate, and that I will be their client for life. -JasonValiente
he and his team of experts have admirable patience and dedication. i started looking for a house at a time with tons of changes which resulted to a very challenging situation for his team but they were very understanding. very knowledgeable, committed and helpful from start to finish. Thank you for everything! -nathannelo
Leo Bato and his associate Armando Sanchez are patient, transparent, responsive, knowledgeable, quick, and professional! Just to give you an idea on how quick it was:
On December 10th, I approached Leo to help me sell my house with very small knowledge on the work and process put into it. On that day, Leo simply explained to me his process and his plan while answering all my questions and addressed every concern I had.
We had an open house on January 5th and 6th. With a very successful open house, we had multiple offers with several of them that were over asking price.
On January 14th, we opened escrow.
On January 31st, we closed escrow! In just 17 days! This came with its challenges including a solar panel lease. But it happened. With Leo's and Armando's expertise along with the cooperativeness of everybody involved, a sold house became a reality. I highly recommend them! -ladie wiggle
Very Patient! He explained - in detail - all the nooks and crannies of the process of selling my parents' house. Him and Armando I thought went above and beyond their duties to get this house sold in such a short amount of time. Their expertise and professionalism were in full-display the entire process. Will definitely use them again. Thank you for all your hard work. -erwin2svs
Leo was very helpful when gelling us look for houses. He made sure to find houses that fit our needs and within our price range. Leo was always there for us whenever we needed and question or had any concerns. It was very easy for us to get in contact with him and to talk to him as well. We really appreciate everything he's done for us to make our house finding as easy and convenient as possible. -calvingha
I was very fortunate to work with Leo Bato and Armando Sanchez. Leo was very patient and walked with me through every step of the home buying process. He gave honest opinions and was very thoughtful about what type of home would work best for me and the lifestyle I wanted to pursue. Armando was very amiable, punctual, and professional. Both of these gentlemen ensured that I felt that I was in good hands. I would gladly recommend them to any of my friends. -user3355979
Leo and Armando are an amazing team. They are very knowledgeable and professional when it comes to selling or buying a house. This is my second time using them. My first experience was when I was buying my second house and they did an amazing job. This time around I sold my townhouse. They put a lot of work and time promoting the property. They take their time and explain the process when selling. Even at times when things were going a bit crazy Leo knew how to handle the obstacles. I will always use these two when purchasing my next property. Thank you Leo and amazing team. God Bless. -cecilledelosreyes
Leo had exceptional work ethics and was super honest. He steered me in the right direction and ultimately I ended up purchasing a great home. It shows that he works towards long term business relationships rather than just a quick sale. -avanesyan8688

Leo and his partner were the best choice I can have made when selling my house. They both worked very hard to see that I made the most I could on my house, even though I was sure I would be able too. If you think you have a house that you can sell, Leo can sell it. There was never a moment when I didn't think they had my best interest in mind. They help me with not just selling the house, but with moving, and cleaning. There was even a brake-in and the guy was caught the same day without any damage to the house. I really can not recommend Leo enough. He will have you back. - blackrosesof88

Leo and Armando are amazing! I was relocating for a new job, and Leo handled everything, much of it while I was in another state. He went the extra mile to get repairs done, gardeners hired, worked with the relocation company, and even sent me my mail. They always responded to my numerous calls and texts immediately, and were quick to answer all my questions. Perhaps most importantly, the price came in well over asking with many offers on the house. An excellent job all around. -fb1354881483

This is the second time that we've had Leo Bato as our real estate agent, and again he has exceeded our expectations. He was able to get an offer on our first home so fast after he had it listed and was able to sell it for more than the listing price. His knowledge and extensive experience in the real estate industry is a big factor but what really makes him stand out is because he has a good heart that cares and would go above and beyond for his client. Challenges that came our way was resolved smoothly, and he totally dedicated his time to be able to meet our needs as his clients. He was able to ease our worries and apprehensions as a seller. At the end of the day, things can never go wrong if you have Leo Bato as your real estate agent. Thanks to him and his wonderful team, our property was sold! -Rudy and Marissa Magbanua
Leo and his team made our buying experience as smooth as possible. He puts effort on answering every question his client has from the buying process. He's quick to reply and doesn't mind getting questioned for every little thing in regards on buying a home. From the time that we looked at homes to the time we moved in to our new home, it took less than just a month for the entire process. I would highly recommend Leo to others who's looking for their dream home and he'll assure you that you'll have the home of your dreams. -jjfern23

Leo truly went over and beyond for our home sale. There were special circumstances and conditions with the selling of our home and Leo did whatever he could to help us get it done. Its the small details that make a great agent, and Leo is the type of agent that pays attention to these things and does what he can to not only get the sale but help us go through the stressful process. You are in good hands if you choose him as your agent. -jamesvalencia1
Being a first time home buyer, this was all new to me and he did a wonderful job of helping me find the place I was looking for. Leo was very accommodating in setting up showings that at times that worked with my schedule. He also did a great job of narrowing down places within my price range and sending me listings as soon as they became available. Leo is very thorough on explaining the home buying process and always give extra time to make sure his client understand every step. -

The day I received the letter that my landlord is giving us 3mo. to move because they will put our place in market and I call Leo and set up the appointment. I asked him to help us find a rental house. He talk to me and advice me as a friend not a possible client and tell me why rent if you can buy your own. He made me realize that I could buy my own house even I had foreclosure 7-8 yrs ago. The process was very fast and done properly. I put my trust to Leo and his team of professional and hard working people gave me a place I could call my own . I highly recommend Leo and his team to all my friends and family. -jessicabravo410
Leo Bato is a very reliable agent. Lost our house during the stock market crash and was afraid to deal with the same dilemma again, Leo went out of his way to walk us through the house buying process again without a single glitch. His expertise in the area, realty value, safety and commercial conveniences were key factors of why we purchased a house. His suggestions and recommendations were precise and accurate. -neo alpuerto
As first time homebuyers, we don't know the ins and outs of the process, basically we were clueless. However, before seeing any potential house with Leo, he educated us first about the whole process and showed us the step by step in successfully getting our dream house. Leo was very prompt every time we have a question or concerns. He made us feel that we are his only client by always prioritizing us. He was always available for us. And when we found our dream home, he did all his best so that we can have that house and he succeeded. Leo truly went above and beyond and we could not think of any agent to have this journey experience with. Now we are home owers thanks to Leo's hardwork and passion. Kudos to Leo and his assistant Armando. -Gilet
True to his word. Very quick and precise. We got our home before we even know it. Less than a month and we got the keys! He has great knowledge about properties, landscapes, trends, demographics, safety, schools and communities. -JulesUy
Mister Leo Bato and His Associates are Accountable and Great people! They helped me purchase my first home for me and my family and we cannot be happier. They made the process very simple and answered any questions we had. We would highly recommend Leo and his team! -laguismaweng

Our family is very impressed with Mr. Leo Bato's professionalism and utmost commitment to helping us, his clients. Leo explained the whole process to us very carefully and thoroughly. He kept us updated on the status of the showings on our property. He found the highest offer to our property that was acceptable to us. When the property was finally sold, Leo continued to work with us regarding the escrow process through the final signing of the sale documents. Leo has gone far and beyond his work as a realtor. He went out of his way to assist us in finding a new place to live and even negotiated with the new property managment so that we can expedite the move to the new home. We have dealt with other realtors before, but we are surely blessed to have met Leo. He not only demonstrates his expertise and skills in his profession, but more importantly, he exudes thoughtful caring and compassion in the way he helps his clients. And even after our home has been sold, he still checked on us at our new place to make sure we are settled and happy at our new place. Our deepest appreciation and warmest thanks to Mr. Leo Bato, for a job "par excellence". On a rating of 1-10, I give Leo a score of perfect 10! Your company is surely fortunate to have someone of Leo's caliber, in your team. -emma paulino

He has a great and excellent TEAM who respense in a timely manner and work efficiently to make buying a house a pleasant experience.. Thank you Leo.. special thanks to Armando and Lester too for a job well done- fatima mendoza21
Leo Bato is a man of his word. He exceeds expectations in large margins and wont promise anything he cannot deliver. It doesn't matter how long you are looking for a that perfect house. He will do his best to find you a home. He will not push a house that is not perfectly made for you. It took us a month and a half to look for our current home but when we found it, he did his magic. The house had multiple offers but with a little persuasion, the sellers found that my family were the perfect match for their house. Leo help our hand all the way through and we couldn't be more happier. If you are looking for a realtor that would care more to make you happy rather than make commission, Leo Bato is you guy. -ray golez

Leo is very knowledgeable about his work. He is approachable and prompt in responses via emails, texts and phone calls. He is also patient through the whole process which is crucial when you are looking through several houses to find the one that you would call your home.- sharonpant30
LEO IS VERY DEPENDABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS HE ANSWER YOU RIGHT AWAY HE HAS A LOT OF PATIENCE AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. EL SENOR LEO BATO ES MUY BUEN AGENTE DE BIENES RAICES TIENE MUCHA EXPERIENCIA EN VENTA DE CASAS Y TE CONTESTA TUS PREGUNTAS DE INMEDIATO TIENES ALGUNA DUDA TE LO RECOMIENDO PARA TU PROXIMA COMPRA DE CASA -celica75
Mr. Leo Bato always tells people that he is the top realtor in his firm. This is not bragging. He is really that good. He is very approachable and easy to get a hold of for any questions. May it be day or night he will answer your concerns. My wife and I were contemplating on selling our house so we approached Leo because people were telling us great things about him. He then scheduled an appointment on where he showed us his strategy on selling our house. He then made sure we were comfortable with this strategy and everything was put into place. Our open house was a success with multiple offers. We actually received an offer above asking price. Unfortunately things didn't go as smoothly after that because the original buyer backed out. My wife and I talked to Leo about our dismay but Leo and his staff assured us that they are working hard to find us another buyer. Next thing you know, he pulled a rabbit out of his hat and found us another buyer willing to pay above asking price again. He kept his promise and he delivered. Now we are in escrow for our new home. Our dream home was found thanks to Leo Bato. -trbosi2k
Our first attempt to sell our current home happened last year with another agent. Fortunately, Leo was able to show our house to his clients at that time and recognized me from pictures in our house because we used to work in the same company many years back. Who would have known that someone I used to compete with in sales would be the one who would help us buy our dream home. I have never seen anyone who's so passionate as Leo. He loves what he does and he is so willing to help. Leo can provide his services like no one else can. Thank you Leo and his team for taking care of us from start to finish. We knew it was not easy to sell and buy a house at the same time. But for someone as expert as Leo, it was just a piece of cake. -an14ne2010
Buying and selling a home at the same time it is very stressful but with Leo at my side the journey was smooth and less stressful. HE kept me informed and took care of things fast and on time. He is very attentive and kind and always had the right words to calm me down when i was freaking out. It was a pleasure working with him and his team. I will recommend Leo 200%. Thank you Leo for a wonderful job. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Maria M. -pisyquini

We used another agent prior to changing to Leo and the difference was immediately noticeable. Leo aggressively marketed our house and held numerous Open Houses. He's honest and is a man of high character and integrity. Trust me, you can't go wrong with Leo! -JamesLim8
Leo helped us sell our condo as stress free as possible, such a blessing. He is efficient, knowledgeable and accommodating. Respectful with our time and needs. Before the year ended we closed the deal, and made our 2015 complete. Leo is truly a gem! Thank you Leo, what an amazing job you did! -ajherrera28
We just purchased our first condo and Leo was an amazing help! Because we were first time home buyers, we had tons of questions and he was able to answer all of them! We definitely wouldn't have been able to do it without him. -sierajones27
Couple of months back me and my family were just looking for a house to simply rent... Then my wife remembered leo. She said to me "why dont we ask leo if he knows houses that are for rent?" Since we know he's doing realstate We've known leo from way back because he was our nursing boss. So then we went to go and contact leo. So to make the long story short he answered and asked us one thing. He said why do you guys need to rent a house???? And my plain answer was because i dont know if we could afford or even own one. So then he said lets see if you could be approved or not. if we don't he will help us find a house to rent. And so it all started from there we got pre approved. And found the house that i thought was just a dream for me and my wife that they turned into reality. Leo and his associates are so amazing and its a great honor for me to be helped by them because these guys they just dont work and crunch numbers. leo and his associates work with their hearts they dont think of you as client they think about you as a family and friend. They really look out for your best interest at all time. I know that because this journey has been long and tough to the point that we almost quit but they did not give up on us. And again i could not stress enough that you guys made our dream into a reality. Once more.... To leo and associate MARAMING SALAMAT PO... (thank you very much...) :) and i wish you guys continue to help more people turn their dreams into reality like you did for my family. Thank you guys! -sherwinvn878
We have had the pleasure of knowing Leo Bato for a few years before we decided to "house hunt". So when the time was right and we were ready to start looking into buying a home we knew that Leo was the person we trusted to help us through the process. From the beginning to the end, Leo was diligent with his efforts in getting us the house we wanted. Our particular transaction was far from easy. But with Leo and his A Team's guidance, expertise, and tenacity we were able to successfully get the house we wanted from the start! We truly appreciate all his hard work and patience throughout and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great realtor. Thanks again Leo!! -J and Family
Leo was very knowledgable about the properties. He was able to find is the right home in a very quick and efficient manner. He was very nice and charismatic. He visited every property with us and was patient with us as well. He catered to all our needs by finding us the right home. -mikeydemesa
Leo Bato is an excellent realtor. He is passionate about his job and very knowledgeable about the current market place. My husband and I were indecisive about selling our home and buying a new home (contingency) since we're expecting our first child and afraid of the stress that this process will take on us. But with Leo's knowledge and guidance he made the process unstressful and was very considerate of our limitations. He was extremely proactive and very responsive. When we listed our home for sale, in five days we received multiple offers and in twelve days our house sold and concurrently we found our new home and in less than a month we move in to our new place. It was very impressive how Leo manage this process in less than a month. When all is done, Leo remain proactive in taking care of his clients. During our move, my pregnancy has become delicate as I was approaching seven months, Leo took care of the moving expenses with a professional movers so my husband and I will not have to go through this stressful process. It is rare that you come across a professional that truly does care about their clients, Leo is a true example of this. We are truly grateful to Leo for helping us find a wondeful home that we can raise our family. We will highly recommend Leo to any of our families and friends because of his outstanding customer service and professionalism. -Klen12
I am so blessed to have Leo as my realtor agent. He really kept me informed and up-to-date on everything: home listings, status of offers. Leo made me feel comfortable because he was always readily available for communication. Very proficient and prompt in all aspects of communication: phone, text messages, and emails. What impressed me about Leo, was his caring and meticulous approach with keeping me, his client, educated about various documents and process of how to buy a home. And most importantly, I felt he held my best interest and what I wanted for my dream home in high regard. In all situations pertaining to realty, Leo Bato, will be my number one choice in preference and referrals! -user29017680
Marc and I would like to thank Leo and his team for helping us find our second new home. Thank you Leo for helping us sell our lovely home in Hiawatha and sticking with us until we FINALLY close the escrow with this one. Leo, we didn’t want you to think your hard work and efforts passed by us unnoticed. We also thank you for your thoughtfulness of offering to drive for us after we worked night shift, for complying (and convincing your wife to just go along with it!) with my family's "bagong bahay pamahiin," and for providing boxes for us for packing. Thank you for having our family's best interest at heart. May you and your team be more successful in the future! -user50454558
Leo did a great job finding us our new home. He had his work cut out for him because we wanted to sell and buy at the same time without having to rent in between. In just 42 days Leo made this possible. We closed escrow back to back on both properties. During the whole process Leo and his team where always available to answer any questions. Very knowledgeable and professional. Thanks for your help purchasing our new home! -lilmssteresa2001

Leo Bato is one of the best realtor I've had when looking for my home. He is always looking out for the best for his clients, knows what type of property the clients likes, and can negotiate to a good price. He's A-team is marvelous and can get escrow to close smoothly and effiecently. If I had to do it over again he is the one I would go to always. -cecilledelosreyes
Leo Bato is not only a realtor, he is the "NEGOTIATOR". From A to Z, very
knowledgeable, he uses skills not only being a realtor but all aspects of the whole
deal,considers you as the person "the buyer " ( I was the buyer) who needs what they needs, and help you meet , and achieved your goals.I would definitely recommend him!!! -petgatan
Mr. Bato is very friendly, helpful, honest and a hard worker. He truly wants the best for you and your family. I've never met a Realtor like him. The way he dealt with paperwork was very impressive and not stressful. He has great helpful input if needed and provides you with more than enough information. He has made "selling a house" as easy as it can possibly be and it was a pleasure having his help. You won't regret it. -j190416
It was great working experience with Leo very supportive,explained every details of the process of buying a house, ,provided what we look for and we are so happy to get the house we really like . Me and my husband really happy. -lmeugenio70
Very knowledgeable about the home buying process, explained in detail answers to questions I had about the documents given to me for signature. Was a big help in following up the loan approval with my lender; had good rapport with the sellers agent & negotiated for credits & repairs noted in the home inspection report. Over all performance was impressive. -marijo ruiz
This review is long overdue but we cannot find the right words to describe how happy we are with Leo. We had the most challenging transactions as we were trying to sell our house AND buy a new one at the same time. Leo took his time with us and explained the steps in detail. He never misses our phone calls and always kept us updated with any situation. Our house ended up selling for way more than we expected and the transaction closed in a week! He then found us a beautiful house that just ticked all out Want list and we managed to land the deal despite of the sellers already considering another offer before we came. We feel so blessed that we had Leo on our side throughout this whole ordeal. He made what could have been the most stressful time into a very organized and well laid out plan. This guy fights for you all the way! -user3782060
I never knew that I will be able to own a house a house at my age, and it was all thanks to leo. He provided us with a pleasant buying experience, there was no pressure to buy right away, instead he took the time to find us a house that fits us. He's very quick to respond regarding inquiries about properties, and educated us very thoroughly about what to expect when buying a home. He truly cares about his clients, and he will fight for every penny for you during negotiations. He is a true advocate for his clients, very honest, informative, efficient and caring. If you are looking for an agent that will treat you like family, and who searches for a home for you like he would for his own, then Leo Bato is the only one you need. -JasonValiente
