LeAnn Yang was an absolutely excellent Realtor and we feel so fortunate to have had her by our side throughout our home-buying journey! She patiently answered our many, many questions, was always responsive and available, and even made herself available to be present for inspections when we couldn't be there ourselves. Her level of service truly felt like concierge-level care from beginning to end. Beyond being highly knowledgeable about real estate, LeAnn is professional, ethical, communicative, and genuinely invested in her clients. Buying a home can be a roller coaster ride with plenty of ups and downs, and LeAnn helped guide us through every step. She made sure everyone involved stayed informed, communicated with one another, and remained on the same page so that we could successfully close and finally get the keys to our new home. We are so delighted that we chose LeAnn as our Realtor. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home or navigate the real estate process. She is the kind of Realtor you want in your corner! read more

We worked specifically with LeAnn. She's an amazing person. Very understanding, kind, supportive, soft spoken, and listen to our wants and needs. She valued our time, and knew what we were looking for and respected our budget. Right when we got approved for our hosting program, she dived right in and did her part. She's quick and fast with her service and replies. She got her team right on everything we wanted. Would I recommend her? Oh I would highly recommend her. No regrets. We closed on our house last month, and couldn't be more happier. Thank you LeAnn! read more

We had an amazing experience working with our real estate agent Leann Yang at Flyhomes. As a FTHB, we were very new to the home buying process. From day one, she was incredibly responsive answering our questions day and night and went above and beyond to help us find the right home. She not only explained the process but also made sure we understood and retained the information. She worked effortlessly to show us properties that matched our needs and stayed within our budget, all without ever making us feel pressured to settle for something we didn't want. We truly appreciated how she guided us through every step of the process, going above and beyond to explain each contract. She communicated clearly and consistently, not just with us but also with her team, our lender, and the seller's side. We were very impressed with her due diligence. Thanks to her organization and dedication. We were able to close in just 15 days with everything done on time and with care. Most importantly, she truly advocated for us. Whether it was negotiating or ensuring all our concerns were addressed, we always felt like she had our back. We're so grateful to have had her by our side during this new chapter in our lives and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home! read more

I worked with LeAnn as the agent on a recent deal where I was the lender for the buyer, and she was fantastic to work with! Communication was 5-star and she always kept me updated and was super quick to respond. She even helped us gather what we needed so the buyer could clear to close in just 3 days. Truly a team player and made the whole process smooth. Highly recommend working with her!!! read more

Leann yang was extra patient and traveled distances just to find me and my husband the perfect house! She was able to help us get a cash offer on the house we wanted so we didn't have to wait to put stuff in storage before selling our previous house. Got approved for the house within days. I appreciate it thanks!!! read more

I recently bought my first house. I looked actively for about 5 months for the right house within my budget. I didn't care how far from Santa Clara (where I grew up but could no longer afford) it was. My FlyHomes agent, LeAnn, took me everywhere from Arnold to Brentwood to Lodi and everywhere in between. LeAnn was always positive and ready with a list of homes to see in every new city we decided to try next. I finally found the perfect house in the cutest little town I had never heard of, but the seller wanted a quick close (3 weeks). With LeAnn's years of experience and readiness to keep everyone focused on the task, we closed in exactly 3 weeks. I've never been happier in my new house and I'm so grateful for LeAnn who guided me through the house hunting and buying jungle. read more

Very good services provided. But they don't stand by your side when things get tough. Wouldn't recommend to my friends! read more

We just got our dream home with Renna @ Flyhomes! Our agent, Renna, is amazing. She's helpful and detail-orientated without being pushy. (I can't deal with the pushy types...) She insisted on taking us to tour all the houses herself, is super-responsive, and always answered all our questions. She prepared the list(s) of places to tour on a weekly-basis, and took our preferences and budget into consideration. The entire process was quick and painless. We started looking in April, made the purchase in May, and moved in in June. Flyhomes also had a lot of resources that gave us a better idea of what the house-purchasing process is like, and provided data such as neighborhood comparisons. Renna took it one step further and helped us make sense of the reports and not just to trust it blindly - as the market was on a downward trend, it wouldn't have made sense if we went in with such high bidding prices as determined by the reports. All in all, highly recommend! read more

We had been looking for a house for few months before finally finalized the purchase. Flyhomes definitely played a critical role in our house search and purchase process and we would highly recommend Flyhomes for using its excellent house buying services. Edelino, our main agent, was very passionate and considerate in helping us with all kinds of issues and problems during the house search and purchase process. Not only did he show in-depth knowledge about the houses and markets, but the overall package and process was designed to be convenient for us (as an inexperienced home buyer) to understand and follow, so we was able to use the suggestions from Edelino and his team to finish the offer, loan and closing processes smoothly. This has been an enjoyable experience for us. read more

We worked with Chris Novak with Flyhomes and would gladly work with him again! As first-time home buyers, we knew that we were in good hands thanks to Chris's attention to detail and responsiveness. He quickly narrowed in on what was important to us and helped us locate properties to tour, then helped us negotiate with the seller's agent to lock down our dream home. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and professional in all of his communications with us and the other involved parties and confidently guided us through every step. read more

Truly, we won't recommend Flyhomes, and NOT recommend Liya Zhu definitely. Please be fully aware of her "so called" confidence and "so called" experiences because it will mislead you in the transaction. During our purchase in the pandemic, Liya Zhu represented us as buyer's agent, but the tour agents were always different, and even the final walk through agent was different. Liya Zhu who is indeed in charge of the purchase procedure helped us with going through the documents only, and she would not help you with final walk through the property in person. 1) Issues about Keys' location, and mailbox number/parking space number. Before and During the transaction, we asked Liya many many times where the parking space located, she always answered with "so called" confidence based on her "experience", considering privacy some sellers would not let you know until the closure date. It sounds interesting, and on a second thought it did not make sense, as since the property is on the market for sale, whereas a seller still wants to protect location of carport, garage and mailbox??? But we still trusted Liya Zhu with good will. 2) There is a different agent named Dien Vo showed us for the final walk-though. On the final walk-through day, both Dien and us could NOT find a parking in the community during the important process of final walk-through!!! We talked about this seriously to Dien he said he would report it to Liya Zhu. We also discussed this issue seriously with Liya Zhu after the final walk-through, but it did not bring Liya Zhu into a fully alert attention. Please check the attached Flyhomes' final walk-through documents in two Versions, both versions state the keys, mailbox location and garage/carport location needs to be checked in the final walk-through. And we don't understand why Liya Zhu did not be fully alert to this, and did not represent us to confirm this information seriously with listing agent before we turned in the final check to escrow. 3) Then unfortunate and awful things really happened afterwards. On the closing day, Flyhomes could not locate the keys; in the meantime, Flyhomes replied the seller and the listing agent didnot know the location of the parking space/mailbox number at all. This community has hundred units, and the mailbox number and garages/carports number are not matched to the unit number at all. With no choice, we had to reach out to HOA on our own, they replied they had not received our grant deed from the HOA，so they could not release the info to us; and also the HOA said "we are the first new homeowner to ask them for the assigned parking information after purchase, they think it is unusual for a real estate property purchase, and they strongly suggest us to talk to our agent seriously". This means after the purchase, we had no idea where we could park our cars, and where we could receive our mail. In this matter, we talked to an attorney. His advice was that our agent, Liya Zhu, failed to do her duty as a realtor in our purchase, she and her team should take the responsibility. But in the Flyhomes Team no one apologizes. Even for Liya Zhu, her replies were she already delivered the message to the listing agent, and she thinks she has finished her job. First, during a property purchase, we need a realtor, not UPS, or Fedex, we don't need someone just helped us to deliver the message. Second, since and as she said she never got a reply from the listing agent regarding the details above, Liya Zhu, as a realtor, she should suggest and help us to stop the transaction first. But she didn't! All she, and all her team care about is the commissions. We are deeply and extremely disappointed with Flyhomes. Even at this moment, no one stands up for making an apology. And their reply is asking us to give them a second chance for future purchase or listing. It is absolutely ridiculous, Flyhomes, as a big company, they even don't have the courage to make an apology, will you dare to give them a second chance?! Will you take your money into risking again?! read more

Lily Tu was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She is straight forward, honest and has a high moral standard. For that reason we have worked with her and her amazing team for many transactions, both buying and selling houses. They have great marketing, and esthetic sense. She is also a joy to be around, has a great sense of humor and happy to call her a friend. The transaction was smooth, easy, and successful in every way.

Stephanie He was a detailed and thoughtful agent, navigated the home selling process for me provided useful advices to maximize my home sale. I had a great home selling experience with the team's supports and super smooth closing. We went through every step from the whole processing was exactly as her presentation. Even though the recent market was cooling down, she kept me motivated and tried every way to convince the buyer agents and proactively arranged open houses every weekend until the property sold. read more

Not totally a fair review since I didn't end up using their service. After initial interest I scheduled a call with them. I'm not even sure what them means, since I scheduled it with one person and another person called me that I wasn't expecting. This "warm call", wasn't the greatest as they couldn't provide any details and seemed to be capturing info on me with little to return. Some of the info in the first call seemed to contradict my second call. This second call was considerably more detailed and this person could answer questions. I feel this is a good service with a good business model if it fits your needs. This would be great for first time buyers or people trying to find away around contingencies. read more

This is the second time we worked with Flyhomes in 2 years. Jocelyn has helped us sell our property with professional knowledge and the experience about the market. Her suggestions on listing and staging were very promising. The whole process of selling the townhouse is smooth. We are very satisfied with her help. Professionalism, trustworthy! read more

Flyhomes offer the best team and experience for home buying! Agents are so effective and they help me get the house 5 percent lower than listed. They will answer my question in every detail and will always be there whenever I needed!!! After 3 years! I'm going back to Flyhomes and with the prompt assistance from our agent Lily Tu, we got our dream house!!! Lily is a very professional agent that helps us stand out in 21 offers and convinced their Listing Agent to understand how solid our cash offer is!! I'm very grateful for all her help and Flyhomes all cash offer product!! read more

I had a great experience with Feifei Zhang on getting my dream house. I would have given them a 10-star rating if I could! The whole process has only taken less than 6 months since I started with Flyhomes. Given that it's so hard to successfully buy a house in Bay area currently, I'm so glad I got a fairly new place at an affordable price. Initially I contacted with my friend Liya Zhu, who works at Flyomes, then I immediately got interested in working with them for the house hunting. Since then, I've been chatting with Feifei to look around different neighborhoods for a TH within my budgets. They were really patient to help me figure out the factors of my buying a house and narrowed down my options step by step. Without their help, I couldn't make up my mind getting a TH at my current community. Some highlights of bidding offer stage, Feifei helped with me on 3 houses for this stage. At beginning, I wasn't sure how much I should offer in the "bidding war" for the 1st house, and I was very conservative to offer more money every time I competed. Feifei was very patient and always reminding me "do not buy it with a price that you feel uncomfortable". Therefore, I could be able to follow my heart till the end. During the offer bid for my current house, I was very determined to get it. Again Feifei was very dedicated on the offer due day, she called the seller agent multiple times till 11pm before we confirmed the offer was ours. With all efforts she made, we could be able to get the house only $2k more than the second highest offer that night. Recalling the whole process, I felt Flyhomes are trustworthy, transparent, professional, and more importantly efficient for buyers. I would highly recommend it to all my friends, and consider working with them again in the future. read more

I really enjoy working with Flyhomes and my agent Ziwei He. The team is responsive and accountable, moving really fast no matter how much your house would be. They have great tools (they called "products") to increase buyers' power to negotiate. The 'guarantee offer' product largely helped our first offer be successfully accepted, which was stunning in the super hot Bay Area real estate market. Out agent Ziwei was full of interpersonal and negotiation skills which prevent us from paying more than necessary. After the title was transferred, the team kept following up about our experience and home improvement. I feel they do care about customers. read more

Shout out to our agent Pan Wang! Very professional and responsive to our questions and needs. We also like how strategic he is when it comes to extending an offer. Besides Pan, the team overall is great. Many thanks to Chester and Tingting as well--who are also diligent and detailed. read more

In the beginning, we were not so confident about having Flyhomes to be our real estate agent since it's a startup company. But their Trade Up program seemed to be a good idea when we needed to sell our condo in order to buy a house. During the whole process, we gradually found out that Flyhomes did provide professional services such as housing market/pricing analysis, disclosure consultant about target hours, pricing negotiation with seller's agent...etc. When we finally moved into the new house, Flyhomes acted efficiently to staging, deep-cleaning, photographing, and listing (all for free!) our condo to the market. "Efficiency" was so important because we had to pay the "rent" fee on new home (we considered it reasonable since Flyhomes used their money to buy the new home with all-cash offer). Flyhomes made every buying and selling steps so smoothly so we got to save time and money, and avoid lots of hassles. It's fair to say -- without Flyhomes' help, we won't be able to buy and sell houses in exceptionally short period of time. Compare to the conventional real estate agent, Flyhomes provide top-notch professional knowledge and reassuring service. We highly recommend Flyhomes! read more

First-time home buyer here. Like many of you in the same space, I did a ton of research about the whole process - From getting loan approval to finding a realtor to finally making an offer and closing. So I'd like to think that I'm better prepared than the average first-time buyer...BUT I was wrong. Having Flyhomes by my side alleviated some of the stress and complications that came up during the home buying process. My agent was Lawrence Kao, in the Sacramento Area. Along with Aileen Cheng, my Loan Officer really worked with me and was patient with all my questions, as well as walked me through some of the trickier situations brought on by the Seller. I think Flyhomes is a great option for those who are comfortable with a less traditional Realtor+Buyer relationship. As long as you're open to their process and set clear communication lines with the whole Flyhomes team working with you, then it will be one less headache in the home buying process. read more

My realtor, Feifei Zhang is the BEST. She is very easy to communicate with and always look for my best interest during the buying process. She is very professional and responsive. We built a trustful working relationship knowing she will look out for me. She make the process stress-free for me. In this crazy seller market, its really hard to find a realtor work for my best interest, but not just keep pushing me to offer more and more money to get the deal close. Feifei is the best, she respected my decision, at the same time, did not stop negotiating with the listing agent. I bought my house because I have a great realtor and the flyhomes Guarantee offer. I recommend anyone to work with Feifei. read more

We recently purchased our first home with Flyhome. Our agent Stephanie was super nice, helpful, responsive, and communicative. She walked us through the whole process and guided us all the documents. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to purchase a home. read more

We had a great experience working with the Flyhomes agent, Jocelyin Xie. She is professional, responsive, and provides very valuable and detailed suggestions throughout the whole buying process. We once had troubles with the loan application, and she proactively helped reach out to multiple loan officers for us and finally made us get through it. In general, Flyhomes is a great choice for new home buyers, since they provide clear and helpful info sessions at multiple stages. Their all-cash offer is also very competitive in helping us get our home. read more

In this seller market, it's really tough to win the bidding war without a full cash offer upfront. I'm an out-of-state buyer looking to buy a property in CA and have been lost 6-7 offers before finding out about the Cash Offer program by FlyHomes. I had a great experience working with my FlyHomes real estate agent LeAnn Yang in the Elk Grove / Sacramento, CA area. She was very dedicated and responded quickly. Highly recommended!! We finally won our dream home in the area and were able to close it quickly under 10 business days or less (2 weeks). read more

First time working with flyhomes, their programs are pretty useful. And we are so lucky to have Jocelyn as our agent, she is passionate, active and reliable. We had a very good experience with flyhomes. Overall, highly recommended read more

We had a great experience to purchase our first condo with Jocelyn Xie and involving Flyhomes team members after half year of shopping around and several rounds of offering. She is super considerate & knowledgable and guided us every single steps of the way from house visiting to final closing! She provided us timely update and detailed explanation and patient communication with seller side. Also I'd like to mention that Flyhomes has advantage of a professional team working with us rather a traditional agent as a single individual, providing detailed and clear guidance. We had worked with and heard stories of other agents before. Every buyer knows the suffering of being pushed and biding. As first-time buyers, we felt quite comfortable with our great agent Jocelyn Xie and Flyhomes. Highly recommended! read more

We were lucky to be able to buy our home with Flyhomes via Scott. He ensure the process went smooth and made sure were were aware of all the steps along the way. He was quick to come up with pricing strategies for the home we were interested in and was aware of our budget when we planned to bid. He also made sure we got the disclosures on time before we toured homes since to avoid any delays. We used Flyhome's Guaranteed offer all the time which really helped strengthen our winning offer. He was always checking in to make sure things were on track when closing our home and made sure everything was in order. I would definitely recommend Scott and Flyhomes, especially in the fiercely competitive Bay Area home market. read more

Liya Zhu helped us land on a deal that we were super excited about. She was recommended to us by a friend. As a first-time buyer, we were really glad to have her by our side to walk us through what's important in each step. She helped scheduling house tours during quarantine, when open house isn't an option at that time. When we found the perfect house, Liya diligently communicating with the selling agent, and eventually we got our offer accepted. It is also worth mentioning that Flyhomes has a whole team behind each agent, meaning you get a touring team, an offer team, and etc to help you. We even received a small gift after we purchased the house. Our overall experience was great, and would recommend Liya Zhu as your agent. One thing that could be improved is when touring team takes us to visit houses, usually a different agent each time, they don't usually know more about the house than what's already on the website or our preferences. read more

Update: September 7, 2020 I wanted to update my review based on an immediate reach out from Lanz Camacho and apology. It's always great for folks to provide an honest response to challenges - start-up life is tough. So while my initial disappointment is real, I appreciate the response. While I was hoping for a shorter run through of their services, I did appreciate the near hour he took on a Sunday morning to go over their cash and guarantee offers with me. I think there are definitely scenarios in which those would be super useful to folks like me who don't have tech wealth or an inheritance to fall back on and become competitive. Follow up instructions were super clear, and while I'm working with some superstar agents right now, I will definitely consider them if I feel like I need a cash offer boost in a competitive market. Finally - they do show homes in Novato! :) ***** Super bummed this didn't work out. I'm already pre-approved and was thinking about using their cash offer to help me get home. Here are the issues: - Not all homes you request to see on the Flyhomes site are actually available to be shown by their team. I made an appointment to see a home, only to be told they don't cover that area. After trying to schedule a few homes, this is a downer and a waste of time- and I might as well hire an agent. - Communication - I got a text message at 9:30 a.m. after requesting a tour to speak over the phone. At 12noon I got a message canceling the tour. I get needing to confirm, but I had confirmed via the app and via email, so this third confirmation and cancellation by text was a little extreme - imho. read more

Qiong and I we want to send our big thanks to our K agent Ruiyao and her team.We are new buyers on this crazy market and didn't even know how to stout first step.Ruiyao walked with us all the process time with patient and professional suggestions,and responded to our any questions and helped us to understand all the disclosures paperwork. Now we had our happy house in our wanted neighborhood with happy price.Every thank word goes to my agent Ruiyao. I am happy to recommend her to anyone who want to fine their dream house here :) read more

We bought our home with Flyhomes' help last year. As a first-time buyer with very few knowledge, I was so worried before the journey. Susanna saved my life since our first chat. She is so professional and caring, and she always understands all our needs and addresses all our concerns immediately. Susanna and the whole Flyhomes' team provided us with great support from pre-approval to home tours, from house inspection to filing offers, from negotiation to closing. Everything was surprisingly smooth, and we got our dream home in three months in the crazy Bay Area. I'd recommend Flyhomes to anyone who needs help on dealing with a house. And we will definitely come back to them in the future! read more

It was not a pleasant experience, I felt like I had been lied to. A flyhome real estate agent created a flyhome account with an e-mail she made on her own, without my permission. I wasn't able to be informed or view the document that sends to my flyhome account. It was a waste of my time. Please have someone who can fix this reach out to me. read more

Bought my first home with flyhomes. my agent Lily from flyhomes was very professional and helpful! The whole progress took about 2.5 months and I'm very happy with the result - made my first offer for a house I liked and was luckily accepted by the seller. Here are some pros and cons from my experience, I've never worked with traditional agent so my review is based only on this experience. Pros: Very organized team with clearly defined processes, so everything is super efficient. Dedicate group of people to take me to tour houses, which was super useful for buying a house during covid. Super easy to make reservations through their app. Great communication, I was updated on every step and they have a dedicated to do price estimate before bidding. Cons: Less personalized service comparing to traditional agent? sometimes I felt I was just one of the customers in their well defined process pipeline. In my case, my agent didn't physically tour the house I bought, only the tour guide came with me. I would felt more confident if she also physically checked the place. Having said that, Lily did a great job coordinating with the seller agent and getting the deal closed :) read more

I am a first-time homeowner all thanks to Scott Orich! My boyfriend and I were looking at mobile homes when we first started our search and later looked into condos because they were generally "cheaper" than free-standing homes. Weekend after weekend, we toured homes all through out the Bay Area non-stop. With the help of our broker, we later found out we do qualify for a single-family home, so we started touring and found a cute single family home equipped with everything we want (garage, back yard, laundry). It's a great place to start as first-time homeowners and we can't wait to start renovating! Thank you Scott for being so patient, helping us learn along the way, and always there to answer any question we may have. You definitely made our dreams come true! read more

I had an amazing experience working with LeAnn to purchase my home! She was wonderful to work with and I'd work with her again without hesitation. She patiently took me on several home tours and was very friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. When I decided I found "the home" she and the Flyhomes team were 'all hands on deck', they quickly produced an offer which was accepted! I'm extremely happy with our home purchase and look forward to working with Flyhomes (and more specifically LeAnn in the future). read more

I bought my very first home with the help from Flyhomes. I appreciate the patience and responsiveness of my agent Lily while waiting for the new house to be closed. Highly recommend! read more

Buying a home is intimidating and as first time buyers we were excited and nervous at the same time. A friend recommended Flyhomes and we decided to give it a try. We worked with Liya closely and she has made the process as smooth as possible. She is very responsive, patient and helpful. She explained things in detail, walked us through the process and made the closing fast and easy. We toured many properties and the agents from flyhomes have been polite, kind and helpful. Liya never pushed us when making offers and respected our decisions. We felt comfortable sharing our thoughts and bottom lines. It's important to know that the agent is on our side and values our benefits. A few pieces of advice would be to offer professional insights about markets, properties, etc that new buyers generally don't know, be more proactive in the early stage to share more listings. Overall we were glad that we choose to work with Liya. Thank you for helping us getting our new home! read more

I have bought my current house as well as selling my prior condo with Flyhomes and especially with Liya Zhu and Feifei Zhang. They are both very easy to communicate as well as keeping the transaction moving along and always sends reminders for any action item that needs to be taken care of. The current house we have was even bought when we were out of the country but Liya Zhu and Feifei Zhang worked with my timezone differences and still closed the house on time. read more
