Helping Silicon Valley Homeowners Move Forward with Clarity and Confidence

Every move has a story—and every story deserves a strategy.

Whether you're selling your current home and buying the next one, relocating for a career opportunity, purchasing after an IPO or equity event, navigating a divorce, serving as a successor trustee, helping a parent transition from a longtime family home, or investing in Silicon Valley real estate, the decisions you make today can shape your financial future for years to come.

At Pulse Real Estate, we help buyers and sellers make informed decisions with confidence. As a boutique Silicon Valley real estate brokerage, we combine deep local market expertise, data-driven pricing, exceptional marketing, skilled negotiation, and concierge-level service to deliver outstanding results while making the process remarkably straightforward.

Led by Dale Warfel and Helen Gardin, our philosophy is simple: the best decisions come from clear guidance—not pressure. You'll always understand your options, the reasoning behind our recommendations, and what comes next. We communicate proactively, anticipate challenges before they become obstacles, and manage every detail with precision so you can focus on your next chapter with confidence.

For sellers, we coordinate every aspect of preparing your home for market—from strategic improvements and professional staging to premium photography, compelling marketing, and expert negotiation. Our trusted network of contractors, designers, stagers, and service professionals allows you to prepare your home efficiently while helping maximize its market value.

For buyers, we provide the neighborhood knowledge, market intelligence, and strategic guidance needed to compete successfully in Silicon Valley's competitive market. From understanding the nuances of individual neighborhoods to analyzing comparable sales and structuring compelling offers with exceptional terms, we help you make smart decisions from your first tour through closing.

Whether your home is a downtown condominium, a first home in Blossom Valley, a family home in Cambrian Park, or a luxury estate in Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Saratoga, or Los Altos, you'll receive the same thoughtful planning, responsive communication, and unwavering commitment to achieving your goals.

Our objective isn't simply to help you sell or buy a home. It's to become the trusted real estate advisors you can rely on through every chapter of homeownership—and every move that follows.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Dale and Helen were our listing agents for a home we sold through a 1031 exchange during the COVID-19 pandemic (July 2020) and was very pleased!! They far exceeded our expectations. Their professionalism, honesty, and communication is truly second-to-none! I wish I could have also hired them to represent me as a buyers agent after we sold our home but it was out of state! Bummer because they are THE best...

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

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...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Helen and Dale had recently sold two houses in our neighborhood so I interviewed them for our home sale. They both had done their homework before our meeting thus I was immediately impressed with their market analysis, appreciation for value of the home, selling strategy, and schedule outlook. They both ensured a seamless process of executing on inspections, contractor work, staging, photography, drone f...

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, 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

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 ...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Top rated performance! Helen was always available to answer our questions, very quick and responsive, understanding, and caring. She is very good at what she does. We recently closed our home, and we could close it in less than 22 days. To make this possible, she followed up with all parties: us, seller agent, loan agents, escrow officer. Helen provided us with all data, reports, and suggested the right...
