My husband and I have been lucky to use Alan Wang Realty 3 times the past 5 years and each time was better than the last! We were referred by a family friend and we've never looked back.
May 2017 - First purchase, condo.
We worked with Alan and Jennifer to purchase our first property ever - a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo! They knew the market and gave us realistic expectations. My husband and I decided to visit 5 or 6 open houses by ourselves just to explore what was on the market and absolutely unexpectedly fell in love with one of them. We called Alan, explained our visit and said we were 90% sure we wanted to make an offer. However, as first time homebuyers, we're very unsure. Alan suggested we take a look at 2-3 more so we felt comfortable. With the offer due in 2-3 days, Alan quickly scheduled a few more and after that, we were 100% in. On short notice, Alan set up a 3 hour call that night where we went over all disclosures and we talked through the offer package. We followed all his advice and guess what - our first offer was accepted! No counter, no stress! After the offer, Jennifer was with us every step of the way from inspection to move in. Again, no stress!
October 2021 - Second purchase, single family home
We reached out to AWR and talked to Jennifer about our needs, wants, and budget. Jennifer is a great listener and expertly narrowed down the location and our ideal home. Jennifer was always quick to respond to our many questions, and more importantly, always was a step ahead of knowing what we wanted/needed. I would text Jennifer homes I saw on Zillow and she was great at providing advice to ensure my husband and I focused our time and search. For example, I didn't want a home at the center of an intersection (T-junction) or near a freeway due to air pollution - however, when I'm emotionally drained (as housing searches can be) I would forget and Jennifer would remind me. Jennifer was always super patient and took the time to guide us in the right direction. And our dog loved her too!! Fast forward 5 offers later, all of Jennifer's initial predictions came true regarding cost, type of house, and neighborhood! We feel lucky that we only needed 5 offers, as this was a crazy sellers market. Offer accepted in Jan. 2022!
February 2022 - First sale, condo
After our offer was accepted, we talked to Jennifer about selling our condo. She knew how quickly the market can change and advised us to get our condo listed ASAP to beat the flood of listings that would come on the market in the spring. We took her advice and moved out of our condo and with her help, got it ready to list in 1 week. Jennifer and the AWR team took care of everything. Again, we followed all of their recommendations with the minor touchups/upgrades, staging, etc. After we saw our condo staged, we were shocked at how amazing it looked! We received multiple offers in the first 3 days it was listed and didn't even need an open house. Condo was listed on Wednesday, accepted offer Friday night. Due to Jennifer and the AWR team, we got the highest sale price at that time for a 2bedroom 2 bath condo that complex ever seen!! Again, Jennifer was right - if we waited just a couple of weeks, we would've competed with 2-3 similar condos that were listed for sale which could've lowered our sale price!
We can't speak highly enough of Alan and Jennifer! Behind the great duo are the great partnerships and team that supported us through all of this. The AWR staff and other agents are all top notch, super responsive and a pleasure to work with. We used their recommended lender and were super pleased with their expertise and our experience.
Home buying/selling undoubtedly is a stressful experience. Alan, Jennifer, the AWR team, their partner Lowery Wilson from Wells Fargo minimize the stress as much as possible through listening, responding quickly and delivering. It is a 2 way street, though, so listen to them as well when they give their expert advice! You won't regret it - we didn't! read more
