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. And trust me, we have dealt with shady agents in the past who just want a fast transaction regardless what happens with seller and buyer. I would recommend Helen and Tim without any hesitation! 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!

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.

Buying/selling a home in the Bay area can be crazy and stressful and we couldn't have done without…read moreAlex Aung Cupertino Real Estate team. 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.

This review is from the perspective of a tenant…read more I rented through Baywood Capital for a couple of years. Working with Josh and his team has been nothing short of a pleasure. The way that they handle property management in the interest of the landlord and the renter is nothing short of an impressive juggling act. Quick to communicate, remediate any issue, as well as a pleasure to interact with -- I would without hesitation consider them and their team of consummate professionals for any of my future rental, or investment property management endeavors.

I trusted Josh and honestly was betrayed…read more He was the first property manager I've hired and he didn't manage. All he did was collect rent and via email communicate one lease extension and then they went month to month on two plus years. I don't believe he ever checked on the condition of my property or if the lease terms were being followed. I know of two flagrant violations 1) no animals and a cat lived there the entire term of the lease openly and 2) no smoking which is also a Belmont City Ordinance. I was told they are "good tenants" which they were from a bill collectors perspective, however, horrible from a property owners perspective as they lived hard and the wear and tear on the unit was unacceptable including pot smoke lingering and making the unit filthy. Then there was the cat leaving animal mess behind when they vacated. I learned there was a leak on October 12, 2024 not by a phone call or direct message but being included on an email chain with the tenants! How unprofessional and this violated the entire principle of a property manager only having contact with tenants and what he was paid to do. From the discovery of the first problem I am aware of Josh was absolutely no help. He didn't manage the situation. Instead it was on. On me to deal with and coordinate access with the tenants to first get a leak detector in. He didn't offer any help. Left me high and dry! When I went to meet the leak detector I was appalled at the condition of my condo that had been fully renovated prior to the tenants. It was grimy and there was cat stuff everywhere and the cat walked up to me even to be petted. I called Josh very upset especially about the cat as my main point was no animals and this was not a service animal. He said they have forfeited their deposit by having the cat. When the tenants vacated , after asking for one more day, which we declined as I had set up - not buy the property manager, but myself Service Master and my insurance adjuster to meet me to start to deal with the leak from upstairs (from different condo owner) and repairs. When he showed up he said it wasn't bad ... They turned off the water days before vacating and left feces and urine in toilets, food on kitchen sink, tons of stuff in the garage , the floors where sticky from a party , the hall bath covered in hair - not sure if human or cat, tacks and tape everywhere on the walls , the new kitchen counters stained .... A drawer with pot debris. While the Farmers adjusters and Service Master there never once did he say I will coordinate as it's my job as property manager. We did agree for his guy- also there to haul away abandoned items - which wasn't even thorough. I had to ask him to return to complete. Then no phone call he emails me he is firing me. A blessing. But very unprofessional. Then he sent me my accounting the first of the year via email without salutation or closing with one word "okay"? In pulling together paperwork for insurance I realized I didn't have a copy of the one lease renewal. I emailed Josh for it ... waited 5 days later forwarded email to him with bookkeeper and maintenance guy with "second request" to finally receive. In interviewing and hiring a new property manager I realized I was not provided any service. I SHOULD RECEIVED A REFUND ACTUALLY!!! There should have been physical check ins on the property and its condition. The notification of a leak - major problem that took 5 months to remediate and repair - should have been handled by him as that is what his fee was for. After the tenants moved out he changed his tune on the deposit. He was advocating for them after telling me it was forfeited due to the cat - not to mention property condition from their hard aggressive living- that most of it needed to be returned. He kept saying the condition wasn't that bad. He was not advocating for my property but only the tenants. Swept under the rug the excessive wear and tear , damage , pot smoking and cat living there. Ironically one of those tenants now manages an apartment building. I'm sure her employer would find interesting photos of how my property was vacated.
