Helping Silicon Valley Homeowners Move Forward with Clarity and Confidence

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. Before recommending a strategy, 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 rather than asking you to fit ours.

For sellers, that may mean deciding which improvements are worth making, coordinating contractors and property preparation, managing the details when family members live out of the area, or simply taking as much of the burden off your shoulders as we can. For buyers, it means helping you understand value, competition, property condition, neighborhoods, and the financial implications of a purchase before you make a commitment.

As a boutique Silicon Valley real estate firm powered by a nationally recognized brokerage network, Pulse Real Estate combines hands-on local representation with sophisticated technology, marketing resources, nationwide reach, and industry relationships. Most importantly, when you hire us, you work directly with Dale and Helen. We're personally involved from the first conversation through closing.

Over the years, we've helped people buy their first homes, sell homes filled with decades of memories, move closer to family, relocate for new opportunities, manage inherited properties, navigate difficult transitions, and make investments for the future. Those experiences have reinforced something we believed from the beginning: no two moves are quite the same, because no two people's circumstances are quite the same.

Our job is to make the real estate part easier—to provide sound advice, communicate openly, anticipate problems, manage the details, and advocate for your interests. We want you to feel well cared for throughout the process and confident that the decisions you're making are the right ones for you.

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

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...
