Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?
My approach is client-driven, strategic, and highly hands-on. I believe a Realtor’s role is not simply to facilitate a transaction, but to help clients understand their options, anticipate challenges, and make well-informed decisions with confidence.
I have been recognized among the top 1% of Orange County agents, with a track record that includes 100% of my listings sold, an average list-to-sale price of 102.3%, and 100% of my transactions appraising at or above the contract price. My listings have averaged 21.5 days on market.
I am particularly skilled in preparing and positioning homes for the market, negotiating favorable terms, and developing thoughtful launch strategies designed around the property and the seller’s goals. I also have extensive experience relaunching homes that previously failed to sell. In one notable Dana Point sale, I repositioned a home that had spent five months on the market with another agent and undergone five price reductions. After relaunching it, the home sold in two days for $225,000 over the asking price.
For buyers, I provide a calm, organized process supported by strong local knowledge, careful due diligence, and experienced negotiation. Whether a client is purchasing a first home, relocating to the area, moving into a coastal or luxury property, or coordinating a sale and purchase, my goal is to make the process clear and manageable from beginning to end.
My professional designations include Certified Negotiation Expert, Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource, and Probate and Trust Specialist. My work has also been featured by Dana Point Real Producers, The Close, and KeyCrew Journal.
Civitas Realty is built around a simple philosophy: it is not about how many homes I sell; it is about how many people I help. Clients can expect thoughtful guidance, direct communication, and a strategy shaped around their needs—not a one-size-fits-all sales process.

Reviewers say
Reviewers consistently praise Leilani’s local market expertise, responsiveness, and honest, client-first guidance. They describe her as warm, patient, and skilled at negotiating and navigating complex transactions, making buying and selling feel more manageable and less stressful.
Leilani Serrao-Baker was featured in Keycrew Journal in April, 2026 and she is right on, as a real estate agent in high-cost markets, real estate is becoming a relationship business again!
It’s a good thing we trusted Leilani Serrao-Baker to handle our real estate sale in Dana Point, CA. We were back and forth constantly trying to figure out; do we sell now? later? how much? how little? When will be the right time for us? The roller coaster was getting stressful and we needed to move forward. We talked with Leilani one day and explained to her where we were at, she replied that she had at least three couples who would be interested in buying our home, in our area, AND we could do it OFF-MARKET! We needed a hassle-free sale and Leilani made that happen every step of the way.
She knows the market and stays up to date, but the most important thing? Having the actual contacts and talking to people to see where they are in the mix. She was able to match us to the family who bought our home at a price that was great for us, and for them. It was a win-win! In our opinion, it’s the best way to go buying or selling. Give her a call, you won’t regret it.

Leilani did an exceptional job for us to land in our dream neighborhood/home. She facilitated an off market transaction in a neighborhood that very rarely has homes become available within our budget. To top it off, we had to sell the house we were in within a specific time frame for a specific price for the whole operation to work. All of this was done during the Christmas holiday season. She did an excellent job and I would highly recommend her to anyone that is serious about achieving their real estate goals. Thank you very much!

We came to Leilani with an almost impossible scenario and she delivered 110%. She was very transparent from the start and eager to take on the challenge we gave her. And it payed off. She helped us find our dream home, in our budget , in a neighborhood that never has turnover, in the middle of the holidays. Plus, having to sell our current home and time perfectly with the purchase of our new home was no easy feat. She was always respectful of our time and carefully did her work with minimal disruption to our young family.
I truly believe she is the reason we were able do the impossible. Her professionalism, attention to detail, local relationships, and overall strategy makes her the best of the best! We could not have done it without her.

Leilani was so helpful in selling our home and helping us to find a new, larger place nearby. She helped us stage our place and photograph it to highlight its best features. She made the listing and showing process very simple, and helped us navigate counting multiple bids to the best offer. On our purchase, when things got tricky with needed repairs, Leilani was responsive and helpful in navigating the process and getting us to an on-time closing.
