Jonathan Hanhan is a superb commercial real estate professional. When we first met Jon, he…read moreimmediately provided a solution to what seemed like a no-win situation involving the San Mateo building occupied by our family business for more than 40 years. We thought we would be facing either an undesirable capital gain if we sold or a huge renovation, free rent, and commission expenses if we leased. Instead, Jon educated us on 1031 exchanges and net lease corporate properties. His advice was a game changer for our family. Jon's knowledge of and instincts concerning the commercial real estate market were top-notch. He determined that we would not need to make cosmetic upgrades or repairs, but mentioned aspects of the property that would detract from its value. We collaborated on promotional materials and had open, honest communications about pricing and the market. Jon provided regular status updates and followed up on every lead. Thanks to Jon's business acumen and negotiating expertise, the building sold for a high price in a tough market. While marketing and selling the San Mateo property, Jon simultaneously began to orchestrate the 1031 exchange process. He and his colleagues at Hanhan Commercial helped us identify replacement properties with first-rate single tenants in economically strong locations to purchase using the sales proceeds, with no out-of-pocket expenditures. Once we settled on an out-of-state property, Jon adeptly negotiated the letter of intent, conducted deep due diligence, and managed a complex transaction including legal counsel, property inspections, and a voluminous set of documents. Jon has kept in touch, and we have continued to count on him as a trusted resource long after the transaction closed. We check in periodically about the 1031 exchange property. In addition, he has provided referrals for insurance brokers and residential property appraisers, as well as out-of-state real estate attorneys and commercial property appraisers. Most recently, Jon proved that he not only is an outstanding real estate agent, but a wonderful friend. We came to him for help and advice when a residential listing of our family home became a negative experience. The property sat on the market for 45 days without receiving the offers and attention enjoyed by other houses in the area. In an act of remarkable kindness and support, Jon spent more than an hour on the phone with us on a Sunday morning, providing guidance and reassurance. He then referred us to a real estate firm that successfully relaunched and quickly sold our home, garnering 7 offers and almost 12% over the asking price. Jon Hanhan is a stellar commercial real estate agent and an awesome person. We highly recommend Jon Hanhan and Hanhan Commercial Group.

Twelve years later, here we are again with the Alex Aung Cupertino Real Estate Consultant team…read more In a world rushing toward AI for every answer, what stood out this time is something no algorithm can replicate: human judgment, patience, and care. Alex never once pushed us to make an offer. He did the opposite, asking quiet questions that helped us figure out what we actually needed in a home, and what we could live without. Yuchi made sure our finances were rock-solid before we wrote anything. She reminded us to budget for the nice-to-haves and steered us clear of money pits. Before submitting our offer, Alex walked us through the comps he'd prepared and, surprisingly, suggested we go in lower. In a moment when ceasefires get torn up every other week and the world feels uncertain, that lower number turned out to be exactly right. Behind the scenes, Alex paired our written offer with a strong verbal follow-through. We were shielded from the rest. Accepted as written. Two offers with Alex and Yuchi, 12 years apart. Both accepted on the first attempt. Yuchi is now voluntarily and unofficially project-managing our Sunnyvale home upgrade, taking time out of her schedule to visit stores and walk through options with us like it's her own place. Whether you're house hunting in the Bay Area, casually browsing, or just uncertain about whether now is the right time, reach out to Alex. You'll know right away you're in good hands.

We've both purchased and sold multiple properties with them all in Silicon Valley area and every time it has been nothing, but smooth experience and they exceeded our expectations. They are very experienced with entire Bay Area especially San Jose real estate market, which makes their expertise invaluable for us. We found that their incredibly detailed home price technical analysis report, prior to each offer we made is extremely useful and is very precise, unbiased, and well aligned with today's rapidly moving market and this ultimately guide us in securing our dream house confidently knowing we did not over bid more than needed to be in the game of bidding war in such a current competitive market. They also took their time to thoroughly review each inspection reports and disclosures with us, prior to each offer we make to make sure the property of interest has no hidden major repairs or red flags before proceeding with our offers . This again gives us great confidence in deciding whether to proceed with our offer or not. There were a few times they stopped us from proceeding further with offer due to costly foundation repair although the home is visually appealing on open house visit and other time with city's natural gas pipeline being too close to the back yard. There are many other incidences where their unbiased input was critical to our decision making on offer. They make sure that we as home buyer make the ultimate call on what price to offer with best of our interest. They work very transparently and truly have their client's interest at heart every step of the way in our home buying journey. From the get-go, they introduced us to a loan officer, proven track record of closing many home loans in a given time with best interest rate, from a competitive mortgage lender to get our pre-qualified loan approved, identifying our desired locations based on our family needs, help reviewing the reports and disclosures for red flags or negotiating and presenting relentlessly with seller on our offer to get it accepted in this multiple bid situations. What separate Alex Aung Cupertino Real Estate team from many other real agents in the Bay area is that they did not stop looking out for their clients right after the escrow is closed. When we needed to remodel our new house, they introduced us to their trusted and pool of resources, from their home builder network from structural engineer, licensed contractors, handymen, plumbers, heating/cooling electricians, painters and etc. They stepped-in and negotiated every quote for us. Just to make sure we are not getting ripped off and also get the best quality work for the amount money we needed to spend that give us ultimate peace of mind. Overall, we had great experience working with them every time. We will definitely go back and ask them to represent as our real estate agent next time whether home buying or selling comes along. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody.

Additionally, he met with us at locations that were convenient to us! We really appreciate him driving over to our neighborhood multiple times to explain paper work and pick up signed documents, etc. We sold our commercial property within ONE open house. Helen and Tim hosted an open house at the property, and a few days after, they called and informed us that there were 4 serious parties who were interested. They meticulously followed up with each buyer's pros and cons, and suggested we go with one VERY SERIOUS buyer who wrote a cover letter, explaining why he is the best candidate to purchase the property. It took us 6 weeks from open house to closed of escrow, over asking price too -- truly amazing!
