I had a really happy experience with Wendy Hua when I bought my home in 2014. Wendy is a super good Real Estate Agent, and she impressed me deeply. First, she works with great passion and patience. I always had a lot of concerns, but she explained every detail to me without any complains. She always replied my email within minutes, even during the midnight! I never met such a "workaholic" before！Because of Wendy's high efficiency and passion, I could chase the good deal of the housing. In the economic market, time is money--as everyone knows. Second, she has good professional conscience. The whole period for my house buying was about half a year; Wendy never pushed me to make any decision or showed impatience. What she did were presenting us the newest house coming to the market, helping us analyze the advantage and disadvantage of each one, taking my family to tour every house during the weekend. It was a huge workload, but she looked it as a journey. She is much more a friend to me than a agent--what she concerns most are our interests instead of her own economic benefit. Third, she has a superb professional level and would help you save money. When we made the final decision to buy our current home, the market was super hot. It was really risky to balance the outcome (winning the offer) and saving money. Wendy helped us to make an offer, which actually was $10,000 lower than the price we made by ourselves. At first, I was anxious I might lose the opportunity because our price was not the highest one. However, facts speak louder than words. Wendy helped us win by using her unique perspective and excellent communication ability！ Last but not the least, she provides a lot of after-sales service. Since we are the first buyer with limited experience, she patiently provided all the help she could. She not only helped us with loans, bought a house, but even helped us to decorate (including room furnishings, furniture purchasing, and walls painting). She even helped us refinancing after 1 year buying--she monitored the volatility of the interest rate and helped us locking at the lowest one. I usually asked her questions about the housing even up to now; she was super kind and helpful. She becomes a housing counselor for my family. Wendy is a really professional, kind person with full of enthusiasm and positive energy. The only thing you would regret is why you haven't met her earlier:-) read more

As a listing agent in Silicon Valley, I see dozens of offers and work with agents across every major brokerage. The "highest" headline offer on paper is never the only factor that matters--what truly counts is having absolute confidence that the agent on the other side of the table has the integrity, skill, and work ethic to navigate escrow and actually close the deal. Kenneth Cheng and his team at MaxReal are the gold standard of what buyer representation should be. We recently closed a complex transaction together that involved serious, intense negotiation. We fought tenaciously for our respective clients and chipped away at issues item by item. But what stood out most about Kenneth was that **he never once let ego get in the way of what was best for his buyers.** He advocated with tenacity, honor, and complete honesty. Because we treated each other with mutual professional respect, we were able to solve problems without drama and arrive at a true win-win where both of our clients walked away feeling like winners. That is what true negotiation skill looks like. The strength of Kenneth's operation doesn't stop with him: * **Jason Li**, Kenneth's partner, was outstanding. Whenever Jason stepped in to assist, the communication never skipped a beat--a seamless, reliable partnership. * **Jenny Liu**, their transaction manager, was phenomenal. She is a true compliance expert, incredibly organized, and exceptionally responsive from contract to close. It is no surprise this team operates at such an elite level under the leadership of broker-owner **Rebecca Lin**, one of Silicon Valley's most respected and talented brokerage leaders. Even though I am an active agent and Kenneth is technically a competitor, I felt compelled to write this review. If you are a prospective buyer looking for an agent who answers the phone, texts you back at 10:00 PM, and negotiates with honor, composure, and fierce dedication, Kenneth Cheng is that agent. As a listing broker, I would gladly welcome an offer from Kenneth and his team any day of the week. Highly recommended. read more

I have recently just bought my very first home and it was all because of Paramvir Sachdev. He gave us a great experience and is very educated when it comes to buying the right house. He helped my buddy buy a house as well before me. If it wasn't for my buddy I would have never met Paramvir. He made purchasing my first home a breeze. He guided me through all the paperwork as well as any decisions I was thinking of making. He was very honest about all the homes he had shown us and gave us his correct opinion. Agents like Sachdev can help your money from going into waste. He told us if the house was actually worth the listing in today's time. I was able to be confident in all his advice and he really helped me take the right step towards purchasing the right home for me and my family. Whenever I had any question I was able to contact Sachdev whenever and he responded very fast. When I was buying a house In 2011 the agent had told me that we will not be able to buy a house because there are non in the market within the price range we were seeking. Sachdev, on the other hand, did all the research and presented us with houses that meet our need and expectation. This is going to be unbelievable because it does not happen often but after picking the house we liked and sending in the offer, Sachdev was able to get us the keys and close the Escrow under a month! He was able to get us the house below what it had been listed and saved us a lot of money, we were very thankful for that. The market as of now is very hot so saving money while achieving the house are low chances but Sachdev helped achieve that. Sachdev not only gets you the house but is also there to help you purchase the correct appliances and is very helpful when when it comes to buying anything for the house. read more

I worked with various agents for about two years trying to buy a home in the bay area with little success. Often times the agents just didn't seem to know the market too well, doesn't understand my needs or doesn't do good follow ups. Through my grad school friends, I was introduced to Michelle Lin. Though she was introduced to me through people I know and trust, part of me was still skeptical because I have only met one great agent before but that was when I bought my first house in WA state. However, Michelle quickly won me over with her knowledge, attention to detail and willingness to deal straight and put the client's interest first. In my case, I put a deposit on a house that was a new townhome, beautiful but over priced. Michelle would have made a handsome return quickly had I continued on, but after hearing about my personal and financial situation, she suggested that I back out and wait for something more inline with what I both can afford and that's less over priced. Through her I eventually bought another new townhome that is a much larger unit and at a better price that's just a mile away from Google. Through out the deal, Michelle went ABOVE and BEYOND the call of duty. She spent half a day with me at the builders selecting options, helping me choose options that will generate good return on sales and not overspend on things that don't make sense. She also helped me connect to her other clients who are new to the area and looking to build a larger network of friends, and generally gave me good advice that helped make the moving and home buying process both enjoyable and less daunting. If I buy or sell a home in the future, I will absolutely work with Michelle again and I introduce all my friends to her too. read more

I found Frank Fu from his website and turned to him for help buying a property because of all the positive reviews. I am ecstatic that I made the best choice. Turns out Frank is one of the most experienced, knowledgeable, polite and patient real estate agents/loan officers I have ever met. We first got in touch in early 2017 to set up a plan. Because he is also a loan officer, he has the knowledge to do a thorough plan based on my financial situation and house search. He guided me to build my credit score, pay off my car ahead, get my down payment ready etc., I didn't expect that I would have needed more money than I originally expected before talking to him, which surprised me a bit because this is my 3rd time buying a property and I figured out that I still have so much to learn from him. With his helps I was able to connect all the dots and start searching on December 2017. During the house searching we had looked at multiple properties in various places, Frank was always careful and focus when looking into the properties, many times he figured out details that I didn't even notice or care which turned out to be important. Frank's knowledge also helped me a lot to identify what I wanted based on my current situation and finally I chose to settle in Newark CA. Frank also took care of my loan during escrow process and it was very smooth and fast, the efforts and time we spent on the early planning definitely pays off. I will definitely work with Frank again next time and highly recommend others who look forward buying their home to consider Frank. read more

We want to share our experiences for working with a great Real Estate & Loan Consultant - Ms. Martha Tsai. We met Martha from 2003, she was referring by a close friend for our refinancing for our resident. Back then, everything was still on a heavy loaded of paperwork, Martha always kept everything neat and well organized in a speedy time frame for our processing. Martha is not only a professional agent, she also provides the best suggestion and great solutions to meet the best interests of her clients. In the past years, every time, when Martha found the lower interest rate or a better refinance program, she would go over all the details and helped us to receive the greatest benefiting. We have referred Martha to many close friends and relatives, and people always came back with a great positive reviews about her hard work! Martha is bilingual in English and Chinese fluently. This is another A+ for her to help more. We are very happy to write down this review for Martha Tsai from MaxReal in Sunnyvale, CA. read more

When getting to know I want to buy home at bay area, my friend referred Michelle Lin to me and told me she was one of the top agent in this area. After talking with Michelle, I understood why she said so. Michelle not only provided us with candidates home that perfectly meet our requirement, but also give large number pieces of helpful information and analysis, like how to compare homes, what to consider, what's the best time to buy, how the market is, all of which save us lots of time. We finally decided to buy a new home, and I did not expect too much help from agent after we signed the purchase agreement. But Michelle is different, she still actively followed up our status and gave us suggestion on upgrade, inspection etc, and most important, when we have different opinion with seller/builder, she helped us to protect our rights. I would definitely refer Michelle to my friend because she's the most responsible and professional agent I've ever seen. read more

I worked with Helen He from MaxReal and she is great! I wanted to purchase a specific home 2 years ago and asked for her advice, she said it was great, so I purchased it. It turned out to be a great choice. Also, she was quick and experienced with the whole purchase process, and so we closed the deal in about two weeks. When we inspected the home, she carefully pointed out each problem and potential problem, many of which we weren't aware of as first-time home buyers. She also helped us get a good price on the home. She is an excellent source of information for first-time home-buyers such that I didn't need to consult any books or online articles throughout the home-buying process. Helen is very responsible and easy-to-get hold of. We had about 30 phone calls throughout the process and each time she picked up immediately. She is also friendly, and not aggressive or pushy. I would highly recommend her for both first-time and experienced home-buyers. read more

I am glad that as first time home buyers we decided to work with Sumant Pendharkar a real estate agent with MaxReal. Sumant is a long time bay area resident and comes from a high tech background. He is very knowledgeable in loans and real estate and goes above and beyond to help his clients throughout the process. We were looking for our dream house for more than a year and Sumant and his team were very patient. We never felt pressured into making a decision. His expertise and professional approach was one of the reasons we got this place in a multiple offer situation. Sumant patiently answered all our questions and was always proactive in following up on important things. He also introduced us to a good contractor to help us with our home improvement project. Overall it was a pleasure to work with Sumant and I will highly recommend him to others. read more

It is our pleasure to share the experience with Rebecca Lin and Kevin Qi selling our home in west San Jose. While we have bought and sold several houses, we never encountered such a level of excellence. The experience at each phase of the sales effort was superior, such as innovative efforts in developing prospects, useful insights on pre-listing renovations/staging, effective showings and proactive facilitation during the sale negotiations/due diligence. All these tasks, whether business-related or interpersonal, were accomplished with a noticeable degree of competence, humility, integrity and grace. Most important, our home sold more than 200K comparing with the couple of similar ones sold in the area months ago! Thus, we highly recommend Rebecca Lin and Kevin Qi for your current and future real estate needs. -Peter L. read more

We had Hannah Wang from MaxReal to buy our first home. She is the best agent we could think of. 1. Hannah is very responsible. She is very easy to get hold of and very patient with each of our concerns and questions. Even at weekends, she spent a lot of time visiting open houses and preparing offers for us. 2. She is very knowledgeable and professional. She went over each long and complicated documents with us, explaining each term to us and answered all of the questions very well. 3. She is never pushy or aggressive in advising us on the price to offer. She gave very good estimate of the range of price to offer. Hannah tried her best to help us the ideal home that we wanted. Without her, the process of buying a house could not be like a breeze! Highly recommended! read more

This review is for Michelle Lin. She helped us with every single step in the process of selling our property this May, from arranging the cleaning service, staging, marketing, selling to closing. She is SUPER efficient, knowledgeable, honest and professional. She responded to our questions and requests in minutes. She is considerate, trustworthy and did lots of detailed work for us. Because we were very busy, she even helped us monitoring the cleaning and touch up works so that we could put the property on market in a timely manner.

I highly recommend her. read more

I can't thank Heather Liu enough for helping me secure a home in this super competitive market! Being nationally ranked for its outstanding schools, Cupertino is a hot spot. In addition to the competition issue, I also had a job change which made it very difficult to get a loan. Through her persistent research, Heather found a lender who would work with me. She then performed diligent market analysis and determined the offer price. With the letter emphasizing on how the great schools would benefit my school aged daughter and how smoothly my loan would close, my offer was just impressive enough to stand out from 6 other offers and was accepted. Thanks to Heather's insight of the market and her reputation in the business as a "closer"! read more

This is our review for Rebecca Lin and Kevin Qi, MaxReal in Sunnyvale. When we decided to put our house up for sale a couple of weeks ago, we did not know what to expect. However, Kevin took us through consultation, planning, implementation to execution in just 4 weeks. The open house was held last weekend, and the house was sold for more than our listing price three days later! Kevin's open communication, insightful market analyses, and wealth of resources made the entire process easy to understand, yet well-controlled. Thank you, Kevin for your honesty, transparency, efficiency, and dedication! We really appreciate the way you work and would strongly recommend you to everyone who is searching for a listing agent.

Ken Kwok is the one agent you need when you want to sell your house quickly with a sale price you deserve! And that's exactly what Ken did for us: selling our Daly City house and brought us top dollars, more than we expected. And he did everything, even before we thought of asking him to do! Ken has teams of professionals at the ready. As soon as we moved out, his cleaning crew did such a wonderful job that we could not believe that it was the same house we had lived in. When the staging team finished their work, the house looked so beautiful that we almost decided to pull the house off market and move back! Indeed, Ken is the one agent you wan if you prefer to take it easy while you still expect good results fast. read more

You should always ask for Wendy (Li Min) Hua (408-483-0907) if you are looking for a creditable realtor or loan officer. Wendy is awesome, during my 6+ months house searching process, (by the why, I am a pretty detailed and picky customer), she was extremely patient and helpful, not pushy at all, slowly guiding me through the price/offering strategy as well as providing very practical personal advices as needed like your all time friend. She provides loan services as well, therefore my entire purchase process including loan application was smooth as you could expect... Overall, I am a very happy customer and finally got my dream house with Wendy's help :)) read more
