The market is incredibly competitive, but Helen and Janely made the entire process feel manageable and clear from start to finish. They were patient, responsive, and took the time to explain everything so we felt confident in every decision. Their expertise and strategy truly made a difference, and we always felt like they had our best interests at heart. We're so grateful for their guidance and would highly recommend them to anyone -- especially first-time buyers in the Bay Area! I recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in the bay area.

Excellent guidance prior to sale. We're able to sell in 4 days with multiple offers above asking.read more

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.

Tim is truly one of the most transparent and honest agents you will find in the Silicon Valley.

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!
