Selling our home and buying another home was made as easy as possible with excellent service and support from Cheryl Hata and Lori Legler. They are truly a 5-star professional team with many years of experience and very high standards, and with the backup of Dudum Real Estate Group. They are the best, I very highly recommend them as real estate agents and also very warm, thoughtful, and helpful people. They listened carefully and helped us refine our wants and needs, and with their deep knowledge of real-estate markets they provided invaluable guidance in both searching for a new home and selling our property. Driving through selected neighborhoods with Lori saved many, many hours of aimless searching through open house postings - she knows the neighborhoods that we were looking for and gave us very enlightening tours highlighting pros and cons of each. Cheryl and Lori gave us in-depth market analysis, and led us through the buying and selling processes so that we knew what to expect in advance and could plan accordingly. In this stressful activity, a significant life change, Cheryl and Lori were always there to help and explain clearly.

Being longtime homeowners in Walnut Creek and getting into our later years, we recently made the epic decision to downsize and move closer to our kids in Sacramento. After 56 years in our beautiful home and neighborhood, this was a rather daunting thought as to how the whole process would work out. The sun was shining brightly on us the day we chose Lori and Cheryl as the Realtors to guide us through the weeks of getting everything in order to put our home on the market. With these two seasoned veterans in the Real Estate market at the helm, the confusion and somewhat anxious thoughts about our new journey were quickly dispelled after our first consultation. Open, honest and respectful discussions were had and they worked very hard to make it an exciting and seamless time in our lives. The preparations for arranging painting and staging were flawless and often made us wonder why we hadn’t thought of doing many of the changes ourselves over the years! The house looked fantastic when finished, in record time, to draw the right buyer at our desired price. We made two new and wonder friends and the many thoughtful and kind gestures such as flowers and yummy baked goods delivered to us were much appreciated. We can honestly say that there couldn’t be two more dedicated and amazing women than Lori and Cheryl to work with when selling your home. What a great and dedicated team effort they delivered!

Thank you for your work in the sale of Maybelle. Every step of the way was masterfully done, given the challenges of the property. You made it look effortless, but I know better. It was not easy. Matt, Christie, Dee, and I appreciate your professionalism in effecting a good professional result.

How do you select a realtor when you want to sell your home? We asked a friend who is a commercial real estate broker and he said that in our area, Lafayette, the absolute best company is Dudum Real Estate Group. So, we called and met with Lori Legler. We were very impressed with that first meeting. We were selling a rental house that needed to work around the tenants, that needed cosmetic repairs, and that needed to accommodate a 1031 exchange schedule. Lori grasped it all and before we left the meeting she had shown us what they would do for us and how it could all be done. The next meeting was with Lori’s partner, Cheryl Hata, at the property. Cheryl was great. She listened to us and then suggested a plan of attack to update our home and reach our goals. She suggested using their subcontractors and got them in without delay to see the house and provide quotes for the work to be done. Each was very professional, dependable, and very fairly priced. So, they painted (new colors selected by their designer), refinished the hardwood floors, refreshed all the grout in the house, hung new updated light fixtures throughout, cleaned the house, and staged every room with beautiful furniture. The house was transformed. The work started on the 1st of the month, and we were ready for our first open house 25 days later. We received multiple offers and accepted one. Nineteen days later we closed. We feel like they brought the absolute best out of our property and we are very happy. This was a really well organized and effective effort from Lori and Cheryl. We couldn’t be happier with their attention to our needs and the attention to our property. Cheryl and Lori are a great team that produces great results. We highly recommend them to anyone thinking of buying or selling a home. Jim and Andrea, Lafayette

Lori and Cheryl were a pleasure to work with throughout the process of selling our residence. Today there is so much "paper work" involved in selling a home and they guided us through it effortlessly. They arranged all the necessary home inspections, the staging, the open house, etc. They are experienced professionals and made what could be a stressful journey as smooth as possible.

As I write this review, I am a week into new home ownership and still riding high on the exceptional teamwork provided by my all-star realtor team of Lori Legler and Cheryl Hata. These two consummate professionals were nothing short of exceptional in finding me my new home, and the whole experience surpassed all expectations! I recently got a new job and had to relocate from the Seattle area to East Bay – a great opportunity professionally but personally, I was sad to leave my home and had no idea how to navigate this astonishingly competitive real estate market. I asked family friends to recommend the best realtor in the Walnut Creek area – and of course, they connected me with Lori (and Cheryl), and I have thanked my lucky stars ever since. My move was fast and complex, and Lori and Cheryl knew exactly how to get me to my eventual dream home! Every day of this house-hunting adventure, I felt so fortunate to be working with the best in the business: They were truly masterful, all on an incredibly tight timeline, through the unbelievable competition of multiple offers, guiding me on innumerable details and complexities, foreseen and totally unforeseen! I’m a realist and never say this, but everything with my home purchase – thanks to Lori and Cheryl – went without a hitch, to my astonishment and deep gratitude! Experience and expertise matter in this market, and I was lucky enough to be on the winning team: Sending immeasurable thanks to you, Lori and Cheryl!
