Real Estate Decisions Are About More Than the House

Every home sale is a financial decision. Every move is a life decision. Both deserve exceptional guidance.

Real estate is rarely just about the house. A move may represent a growing family, a new career opportunity, retirement, the loss of a parent, a change in a relationship, or simply the beginning of something new. Whatever brings you to that decision, we understand there is often much more at stake than the price of a home.

Led by Dale Warfel and Helen Gardin, co-founders of Pulse Real Estate and the Warfel Gardin Group, we help Silicon Valley homeowners and buyers navigate these decisions with experienced guidance, thoughtful planning, and genuine care for the people involved.

We believe our first responsibility is to listen. We want to understand what matters to you, what you're concerned about, and what a successful move looks like from your perspective. Then we help you evaluate the options, understand the trade-offs, and develop a plan that fits your circumstances.

For sellers, that may mean determining which improvements are worth making, coordinating property preparation, or taking as much of the burden off your shoulders as we can. For buyers, it means helping you understand value, competition, neighborhoods, and the financial implications of a purchase before you make a commitment.

Wherever you're headed next, we're here to help you move forward.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

In May of 2018 my brother passed away leaving me 2 properties in Santa Clara. I live in another state, so it was going to be quite an ordeal to empty his house of all his possessions and ready the place for sale. The other house was a rental with a tenant and family living there. It was an overwhelming task and I was unsure how to get it all done. Luckily, a close friend of mine was also a close friend o...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Dale and Helen were our listing agents to sell our house in the Cambrian neighborhood in San Jose. We had lived there for 20 years and, it was a bit out of date when we bought it. We updated the primary bathroom during our time in the house, but that was it, so when it came time to sell, to say that it had really needed some help. We were tempted to just sell it "as is", but fortunately we met Dale and H...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

This review is so overdue, but the summary is Dale and Helen did an outstanding job getting our house ready to sell and then actually selling it and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Neither my husband nor I had family in the Bay Area and so we had always regarded our time there as a temporary thing. Well, the time had finally come - we were closing on a house in Washington and it was time to look ...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Dale, Helen, and their team were invaluable to us in selling our previous home and buying or new wonderful home. The market is crazy and ultra-competitive right now, but we were able to sell our home quickly and for much more than we thought we’d get. On the buying side, we were able to beat out 20 other offers and get the house of our dreams. The team really shines with all the process and paperwork. W...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

When my wife and I decided to sell our townhome in south San Jose, our first order of business was to research and interview qualified Realtors®. In the end, the Warfel Gardin Group stood out head and shoulders above the rest. One of our biggest concerns was how best to upgrade our place with minimal investment to give it the best chance for success. To that end, Dale and Helen visited our property sever...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Dale and Helen helped us to purchase our first home and they were a delight to work with. As we had little to no knowledge about the complex real estate market, Dale and Helen were of great help to us throughout the entire process. When my wife and I started the search process our search criteria was pretty wide and as a result we wanted to look at a number of properties. Dale and Helen were patient wi...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Dale and Helen are truly in a league of their own. They are two of the hardest-working individuals we've ever worked with, and they pulled off a sale that most thought couldn't happen. They hosted open houses every week while the property was on the market, carried and staged furniture themselves, and always stayed in constant communication with us. When repairs came up during the listing, Dale and Helen...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I can honestly say that Helen and Dale are an amazing and HONEST team and they are the best of the best. They helped my family sell our house and then purchase a new house and they stood by us the entire time. They took the time to explain things to us because we did not know how the process worked and they graciously worked out a few kinks with us. I would recommend them to anyone who is purchasing or ...

— Wendy P.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We worked with Dale and Helen to sell our San Jose home. We selected them because of their success in the area and good references provided. What we received, exceeded our expectations. There was work recommended to command a higher sale price and Helen and Dale provided great contractors to work with and managed the contractor performance the entire way. They were available day and night and actually di...
