Paul was great to work with! Very friendly, positive and listened to what we said. Having lived in our house for 40 years it was important to have an agent that respected us, our house and our financial desires. Paul met all of our expectations and more. He understood the location and what made our house unusual and desirable. Highly recommended! read more

Rockstar! . Paul is a rockstar! We found a house we wanted and put an offer on that was accepted, except now we had to sell our place and fast! Paul stepped up to the challenge and worked with us to get all the balls in motion right away. We took a look at the competition in our neighborhood and took a realistic look at what we should do to stand out, especially considering we were not in a place to move out first and spruce the place up. Paul did an incredible job selling our listing to people that would be interested before we were even officially on the market, all the while we were still living there with our colored walls and furniture in the place. Paul was there anytime we had a question or needed anything, I felt bad sometimes with how fast he was responding after business hour! I dont think we would have gotten the house sold so fast and into our current home without him! 20/10 A++ would choose again! read more

As a first time home seller , finding a selling real estate agent was extremely crucial for me. I wanted someone who is reliable, transparent, experienced and passionate about what he or she does. Paul meets all these criteria and above beyond. He is amazing at what he does with brilliant strategies and tactical marketing skills. He has great networks with so many business that he will ensure you are getting the best deal in term of getting the house ready to be on the market. He was diligent in communicating with us constantly to make sure we understand the processes of each steps. Although we were out of town most of the time of the process of selling, he made us feel that we don't have to worry about it because he was so reliable and transparent. I am truly happy that I chose him as he delivered what I needed and bought out the best characters of the house that was beautifully represented to the buyer. Thank you Paul. You are the best ! read more

Paul helped us purchase our home in Lafayette, CA while we were still living in Los Angeles. Buying a home in Northern California while still living in Southern California is no small feat. After a few introductory calls with Paul and gaining comfort that he fully understood our needs and wants in our new home, we started on our journey to find a home in the Lamorinda and Piedmont towns in the Bay Area. Paul was extremely proactive throughout the process in recommending properties for us to consider, and when we did find one of interest (and there were many), he was quick to schedule appointments for virtual walk throughs with other agents, most times within the same day (and even with a few hours) of us sending a listing to him. Paul would FaceTime us and patiently walked us through each property, from driveway to entryway to each and every bedroom and bathroom, we felt like we were really there in person. He would also send us videos of the surrounding neighborhoods and streets so that we could really get a feel of the area without physically being there. Paul was helpful in pointing things out for us to consider in various properties and we never felt pressured or stressed during the process. Paul quickly developed relationships with the other agents to get insight on the properties, and to help us get detailed answers to all the questions that we had. He was always available for calls to talk through our thoughts on each property. When we finally did find our home, he was quick in helping us to submit our bid and close. Paul went above and beyond in helping us manage all the little details that needed to be dealt with while we were still living in LA. We are happy to consider him not only our agent but a good friend, and would highly recommend him. read more

Paul was introduced to me and my husband by our mortgage advisor and upon the first phone call, we knew that we wanted to work with him. He is diligent, enthusiastic, incredibly well-informed, and made us feel at ease in a time of great stress. Anyone who speaks with Paul for even a second will immediately realize that he is so dedicated to his clients and helping them find the most suitable home. What stood out the most about Paul is how comfortable we felt around him. We never felt that we were being pushed to make a specific offer or settle on any particular location or property. He presented us the facts and simplified his research for us, which allowed us to feel at ease with the decisions we were making. Paul was always just one text or phone call away and answered all of our questions in a very timely manner. Ultimately, we were so lucky to get our first offer accepted and give Paul all of the credit. Paul stayed involved through the closing process and made sure we had all of our questions answered, communicated with our lending team, and even helped with one-off questions like setting up utilities for the new place. We would recommend Paul to our friends and family in a heartbeat. Thank you!! read more

Paul helped get us into our first house, and I couldn't be more glad to have worked with Paul.  We first met Paul at an open house he was hosting, and Paul went out of his way to describe neighborhoods outside of his open house, and did so in a way that felt very real to us as first-time homebuyers. In touring our first (well, second) open house, Paul took care to share his thoughts on each house, with specifics about what he'd look for as a prospective homeowner. Paul also took into account our selection criteria and was honest with us as to what was possible and not possible - we definitely appreciated that in the current market, and also since we were looking in neighborhoods which were new to us.  Paul was patient with our deliberation process, even when we perhaps were self-contradictory, and also helped us think through and find potential value in the houses we reviewed together. Paul also is exceedingly communicative, even as we had questions past business hours -- Paul always made us feel like we were his top priority.  When it came down to making an offer to close, we made it from offer to close in 16 days. Paul's rapport with other agents is very evident, and working with Paul and his team meant we always had a competitive offer package.  I'd happily work with Paul again and would recommend him to any other homebuyers. read more

First and foremost, I wanted to thank Paul and his team for helping us buy our first home! Paul is a hungry real estate agent who will go out his way to make sure his clients are 100% satisfied with their purchase. His responsiveness and professionalism throughout the process is everything you look for in an agent. One thing that stood out about Paul is that he did not put any pressure on us to make any rash decisions. Rather, he would provide us with different options regarding various types of situations. He is also prompt and detailed with questions we had. I would recommend anybody who is looking to buy or sell their home to give Paul a ring. Again, he is an easy-going type of guy that will make your buying or selling a pleasure. read more

We met Paul during an open house for a home that he was selling. When we first met Paul, he was warm, inviting, and forthright about what the sellers hoped to receive for the house. Unfortunately, at the time, it was out of our budget. More importantly, Paul is a Warriors super fan and also the creator of the "We Believe" slogan. We conversed for a bit and said our goodbyes. Nevertheless, Paul's honesty and warmth left an impression on us. Fast forward 6-8 months later, my wife and I were in Los Angeles and saw a home we were interested in the Bay Area. It was a Sunday and we were getting on a flight to come back to the Bay Area, but given how hot the market was/is, we didn't want to wait to look at the house so we took a shot in a dark and called Paul after having not spoken for 6-8 months. He immediately answered and remembered us. Moreover, he said he would make himself available to show us the house when we landed at 730 pm. Again, this was a Sunday. True to his word, Paul was waiting for us when we looked at the house that we would eventually buy. My wife and I are young professionals with stellar credit (and we were putting more than 20% down) but the process for us was grueling and the mortgage companies didn't make it easy but through each step of the way Paul remained positive and solution oriented. I mean, when we talk about Mamba Mentality, Paul has it. Our escrow lasted 60 days and not once did Paul crack - he dealt with us, upset sellers, ridiculous bankers and all kinds of antics with professionalism, integrity and positivity. He repeatedly reassured everyone that the sale would go through. He also always made himself available and was ALWAYS responsive. My wife and I now own a stunning home with bay views in a gated community. I cannot say this enough, if you are looking for an agent to help you buy or sell your property, Paul is your guy. PAUL IS YOUR GUY. He's knowledgeable about the market, house prices and if he doesn't know something, he will do everything in his power to figure it out for you. My wife and I will always be clients of Paul's because of how he handled our situation. Thank you so much Paul. read more

We met Paul at an open house. Leaving that property, we decided he seemed like a good fit for us and wanted him to help us on our journey to buy a house. He pointed us in the right direction, asked us what we wanted in a house, and worked hard to help us. We felt great working with him and glad we made that decision. read more

Paul helped me sell my home with special circumstances. He worked through all of the details, the court systems, my attorney and a difficult partner. He made it happen. I highly recommend this guy. I trust him! He will fight for you and keep you from making mistakes. Paul also made himself available, was extremely polite and simply fun to work with. read more

We meet Paul in late October through a referral from JVM Mortgage. Paul immediately made a good impression because he was incredibly responsive, listened to our wants/needs, and was committed to looking out for our best interest. He mentioned to me that we may be in a new home for Christmas and I thought that this would never be possible in this market. On November 11th, we looked at a house that we absolutely loved and it was in our dream neighborhood. It was a little out of our price range given the amount of repair work that was required. Paul listened to us and together formed a reasonable offer that was less than asking. This also happened to be our first offer ever which I never dreamed would be accepted! Paul then worked closely with us to ensure that we had the proper inspections. He advocated for us when we found unforeseen issues and was always there with a quick, knowledge, and pleasant response. We closed on our dream home less than a month later and in time for Christmas. We are so happy and grateful that we met Paul. I highly recommend him for your buying or selling needs. read more

Paul was awesome to work with! My partner and I are first time home buyers and we were looking in the Oakland/San Leandro area. The market is really competitive right now with everyone wanting more space and low interest rates. Paul's knowledge of the market, networking skills, and relationship building skills helped our offer get accepted as we were up against multiple offers. We trusted him and we were not disappointed! After our offer was accepted on a house in San Leandro, Paul was still very much part of the process and very communicative. He helped educate us along every step of the way. Paul did everything he could to make sure we got the best price and got the home we wanted. Now after we've moved in, he hooked us up with some of his vendors and so far we are just in awe of how much Paul has done for us. You won't be disappointed working with Paul! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Paul Wong while looking for a house in East Bay. Paul was extremely friendly, courteous and helpful throughout the process, and has a great knowledge of the East Bay market. Paul worked tirelessly to find out what we were looking for in a house, and gave us good insight into the different neighborhoods. We would definitely recommend working with Paul! read more

Paul Wong is the best realtor we've ever had. He provides a level of service we've never experienced before. He's amazing at his job, and he really cares. He cares that you get the best possible deal, and he works really hard to get it for you. Many times he negotiated a better deal when we'd thought it was already a good deal. But he and his stellar assistant Eve thought of things we hadn't. He also cared that our experience was smooth, even following up on a repair issue with a contractor that had been no fault of his. We felt supported through the whole process. Paul worked with us, negotiated for us, went to bat for us when things went wrong, and celebrated with us when things went well. At times it felt like all we had to do was pack, while he and Eve did all the work for us. We have no doubt that Paul got us the best possible deal. There's a term used to describe high-end, custom-made quality that fits here. Paul Wong and his assistant Eve provide "bespoke" service: attentive, custom, and great fitting. We've bought and sold houses, but we've never had service like this before. We're ruined for any other realtor! read more

My wife and I had a great experience working with Paul. From our first meeting Paul was an enthusiastic, positive presence in what can be a difficult process. What ever happened, Paul was on the job taking care of us and our sale. He found excellent buyers for us, and worked hard to get us the price we wanted. I cannot recommend Paul highly enough. He's a great guy and a great agent! read more

Dedicated, hardworking, and AMAZING agent!! . The reason me and my husband were able to buy the specific house we wanted (contingent on the sale of our house) was because of Paul. From our very first phone call and walk through of our house a day later he told us what to expect and didn't sugar coat the amount of work it was going to be. Paul DELIVERED! He knew the market inside and out and the competition we were going to be up against. He presented us with a strategy and made sure we were on board every step of the way. He did the behind the scenes prep work and had people interested before the house even hit the market and offers on it the night before the open house. Paul genuinely cared about our goals and concerns, taking the time to understand the unique features of our home (every room was painted a wild color) and crafted a personalized strategy that showcased its strengths. Additionally, me and my husband had never sold a home before, the real estate jargon was daunting but Paul patiently guided us through the complexities, explaining each detail with clarity. His expertise turned what could have been a confusing experience into an educational journey. The excitement Paul expressed when we closed the deal was genuine, he takes pride in his work. It didn't just feel like a transaction; it was a shared achievement that could not have been done with a different agent. Paul's passion for helping people achieve their real estate goals was evident, and it made the entire process not only successful but also enjoyable. Me and my husband are so thankful for the recommendation of Paul. I would give him more stars if I could. 100/10 real estate agent and person, highly recommend!!! read more

We had the best experience working with Paul. He is knowledgeable, professional, he is a great advisor, and he has such a good nature about him that every interaction is just easy, even when the situation is stressful. Paul genuinely cares about his clients and treats them like friends. He went above and beyond for us in so many ways, but one way in particular really made an impression. We just got outbid on one home that Paul helped us with, and the next home we looked at was in a brand new development. Paul wasn't guaranteed a commission but he met us at the development site to tour the new builds. When he learned that he would not receive a commission (because the builder was full service) he stayed with us the whole afternoon to tour each home and gave us advice and guidance along the way. There were some homes that my 3 small children weren't allowed in because they were still under construction, and Paul stayed back, watched them and entertained them while we toured! We wound up purchasing one of those homes which ended our client/agent relationship with Paul, but even then Paul continued to reach out to us, giving us tips about the area and sharing things he learned about the school system that were super helpful. We are so grateful for everything he did for us and we will absolutely recommend him to our loved ones, friends and family, knowing they would be in good hands. read more

My wife and I are truly blessed to have an opportunity in working with a highly skilled agent like Paul for the purchase of our new home in Hayward. From our initial discussions, viewing various properties, closing escrow, and following-up after our move, Paul was always responsive to all forms of communication and was there for us throughout the entire process; addressing every question and concern. Paul remained focused on our house search in regards to desired location, property type, and mindful of our targeted budget. Straightforward in his approach by simplifying the home buying process for first time homebuyers like ourselves, as well as, relieving that scary big purchase feeling. He also possesses a high degree of tactfulness and patience when dealing with clients. read more

Paul helped us buy our first home. The process was seamless. His responsiveness, professionalism and attention to detail made buying our house a wonderful experience! We truly could not be happier. #DUBAGENT Since buying our home we have recommended Paul to our friends looking to buy in the Bay Area. Happy to say they're now homeowners! The feedback we've heard from them personally regarding Paul and his team has been nothing short of incredible... But we already knew that! read more

Paul came highly recommended by colleagues and we now know why. His attention to our needs and his extensive experience served us very well as first time house hunters. He has in-depth knowledge of the hot Bay Area market and his insights are based on that and very valuable. He guided us with a lot of patience and explained every step of the process with us multiple times if required. Well organized and always a smile on his face - it was a pleasure working with Paul! read more

I was a first time home buyer and didn't know anything about the process. Paul was there to guide me through the entire process and had super human patience in dealing with my questions. He was always responsive to my questions and understood what was best for someone in my situation (better than I understood it myself). In the end, his honesty and warmth made him feel more than like a friend than a real estate agent. read more

Working with Paul, I've learned how focused he is on helping his customers with every aspect of their needs. He is speedy, efficient, and does what's right for the customer. I would work with Paul on any purchase in the future! read more

My wife and I were looking to purchase our first home and were lucky enough to have Paul as our agent. He has the most optimistic attitude and always kept us motivated and hopeful! In this competitive market, we had the added challenge of using our VA loan and Paul somehow found a way to knock it out of the park! He seriously is an absolute miracle worker. We will 100% be reaching out to Paul when it's time for our next home. read more

Wow. Just Wow! Paul was so easy to work with it felt as if we didn't have to do anything except give ideas and a general direction. I had saved some homes that turned out not to be as expected. Paul was amazing, almost reading my mind and found us the perfect home. I'm exuberantly looking forward to our move in date! We found our home two weeks before we thought we were 'ready'. He knew our concerns and was always prepared, putting to rest any of our anxieties. We had a budget and quite happily Paul knew what issues a home may have had that was and what not in our budget to fix. He refused to get us in a home that was not in our best interest to buy, despite outside appearances. Paul is an exceptional person, an even better realtor. The process from looking to closing was so streamlined I had just barely started to pack when we were called in to sign papers and close that next day. Paul is the best realtor and has only his clients concerns as his concerns. I honestly feel like I was a long time best friend whom he was helping find a home. Paul 100% knows the area, knows people and will go above and surpass any expectations for your own home buying experience. read more

I am very grateful for Paul for helping us find our home. We met with Paul and within less than a month we are already moving into our new home. He answered all our questions and made the buying experience so stress free I couldn't believe it myself that it is really happening! I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone for I know he would deliver. read more

I recently worked with Paul to buy my first home in San Lorenzo. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Paul was dedicated to finding me the perfect home within my budget. He was incredibly helpful and informative throughout my experience; he's very easy to work with and walked me through every step along the way. I didn't know the first thing about this process and Paul gave me great advice and guidance throughout my search. I never felt rushed or pressured into anything; I could tell that he genuinely wanted to help me find something that suited my style and budget. I truly felt like he cared and that I was more than just a sale to him. Even after the close of escrow, he continued to answer my questions, run errands, and provide help. If that's not a sign of an agent that truly cares, I don't know what is! I would recommend him to anyone I know and I would definitely use him again to buy or sell any type of property. He knows his stuff. read more

I have had great experiences working with Paul! He is a go getter! He is Always determined to get the job done. I am busy home stager, and if anyone calls me he's the number one realtor I recommend to get their house sold! I highly endorse him. He has a passion for his work. Don't hesitate to call him, you won't regret it! read more

Paul helped us purchase a beautiful 119 year old Colonial Revival duplex in Alameda. We had been looking for this type of property for the past couple of years, but never found exactly what we were looking for. Even though Paul is also a friend, he was extremely professional and helpful through the entire purchase process. He made sure that we were completely informed about all the disclosures; given the age of the property this was extremely important. He followed up on all our questions and issues that we had for the seller/owner and recommended appropriate responses and counter proposals that would insure a successful purchase transaction. And of course we used Paul to sell another property in Harbor Bay Isle. With the sale, Paul arranged everything for the future open house and Broker's tour while we were on vacation. We literally came back to a house ready for sale and prepared for any buyer to move in after closing. Paul was prepared and diligent throughout the entire sales process, making sure only qualified buyers would be putting in appropriately priced bids. We couldn't have been more pleased with our purchase and sale of both properties with Paul's help and professional assistance. read more

Paul is very pleasant to work with. He is an experienced realtor and is update in current market condition. He even recommended a lending agent in the area, which we ended up using and greatly appreciated. He was very helpful in getting the administrative tasks completed without any hassle. He is up-to-date with laws and procedures making sure we remain compliant with all the rules and regulations. He was very helpful in explaining the entire process and really relieved my stress level even though we were on a very tight timeframe. I truly believe his expertise helped tremendously in our offer getting accepted. I highly recommend Paul! read more

This review is long overdue. On behalf of my husband and I, we are writing this to express our complete satisfaction with Paul Wong as our real estate agent. Throughout the entire process (selling/buying) Paul was understanding, patient, reassuring, trustworthy, professional, conscientious, highly motivated, and catered to all of our requests. Paul, is extremely knowledgeable in the San Francisco Bay Area. He provided us outstanding market data which armed us with confidence to make difficult decisions. Paul employed strategies, utilized a vast network and unconventional advertising to highlight our home above the competition. He provided a profile that enabled people to tour our home. Paul followed up with every single person that showed interest. He worked hard and always provided us with insight. Paul is easy to work with. When dealing with Paul everything went smoothly. We will always use Paul Wong for any real estate investment. We enthusiastically recommend Paul Wong to anyone interested in buying or selling a home. We can proudly say that we gained a great real estate agent, and more importantly, Paul Wong has become a member of our extended family. read more

Words can't really express the gratitude that my wife and I have for what Paul was able to do for us. As first time home buyers in this ridiculous Bay Area market, we walked into the search a bit intimidated, even though we had been doing our research and planning this for a while. We met Paul at one of his open houses and instantly knew he was our Realtor. From the beginning, we always felt like Paul was not only looking out for us and had our best interest in mind, but we could also communicate with him honestly. After we both decided it would be a great fit to work together, Paul and his assistant Jillian went to work. It honestly felt like Paul stopped the life he was living and dedicated everything he had to finding us a house. He has a wealth of knowledge about the Bay Area market that was always proven true. I feel like Paul could have his own Bay Area TV show called the 'Asking Price' whisperer. No matter how much it hurt to hear, no matter how far off the asking price was, to what Paul said the closing costs would end up as, he was always right. We found this out mostly months afterwards as the houses we were originally looking at sold. Luckily, no, actually amazingly, we didn't have to wait that long to find our home. Paul got us into our first home weeks after we started looking. Without boring you with the details, the only reason we got into our first home in an amazing and safe neighborhood in Oakland at a fair price is because of Paul, his connections, and his knowledge of the market. Paul is the best realtor out there and Jillian by his side only makes that fact more strong. We are forever grateful to have had Paul as our realtor. If you are attempting to make a decision of who to choose, do yourself a favor and stop right there. There is no choice. read more

I wish I could give zero stars. I was in touch with an agent and he had me thinking I'd be able to rent a townhouse and I never heard back from him after over 10 phone calls and countless emails. This company is so unprofessional at least communicate if the place is still available or not. I'd never use that real estate company for nothing. read more

This review is so long overdue, but I wanted to take the time out to really thank him for everything that he has done for my family. Paul worked with us back in spring 2017 to sell our home and to purchase another home. We have been looking to move into a bigger home for some time, but with the crazy market, we just didn't think it would happen. We had to sell our home first before we could even start looking for a new home. We were in a tough spot, but Paul worked his magic. He worked so hard to find us a buyer before we even listed our house on the market. The buyers came to see the house and they decided that same day that they wanted the house. That saved us the headache of having to stage the home and deal with strangers coming in and out of our home. Paul was able to negotiate with the buyers to allow my family to find our home so that we could close on the sell and purchase at the same time. In addition, he also negotiated with the buyers to allow us to occupy the property 30 days after closing. The buyers were wonderful and agreed to the terms, which made things painless for us. When it came time to find us the right property, Paul worked overtime. He literally drove to our desired neighborhoods, knocked on doors and made phone calls to see if anyone in the area were interested in selling their home. He never once complained or made us feel like it was too much work for him. We were in a time crunch to find a home, but we never felt rushed to make a decision. One night, I was browsing through Zip Realty and came across a house that my husband and I wanted but we didn't even bother trying to put in an offer for two reasons. 1. We felt that the house was going to be sold above asking 2. The original asking price was above our budget. This time the price dropped by $100k. I literally texted Paul at 2 am. He called me super early in the morning and told us to get ready to go look at the house. We went out to see the house and fell in love with the home. We told Paul that we wanted the house. Paul went right to work. He helped us structure an offer that got accepted. Not only did our offer get accepted, but the amount we paid was actually much less than what the homes in the surrounding areas are worth. In this market, people pay at or above market value. We were beyond ecstatic. We have always wanted to live in the Oakland hills but were discouraged because of how competitive the market is. Paul on the other hand was always optimistic and told me to leave everything to him. I am glad that I did because now my family and I living in our dream home. I can't thank Paul enough for all the hard work he put in for my family. We are forever grateful to him. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone that is looking to buy or sell. read more

Thank you Paul Wong for being such a great agent during my housing search. You took the time to clearly understand what my needs were and what my price range was. You delivered on your promise to search through listings and provide me with options to review. When we located the property that met my criteria you worked diligently and aggressively on my behalf to ensure I was protected and the transaction could be completed to my satisfaction. Thank you for your energy and enthusiasm while working on my behalf. I couldn't be more happy with the outcome and I look forward to personally presenting your name to anyone I know ready for a transaction in the east Bay housing market. read more

Paul did a great job helping us find our new home and navigate through a challenging seller's market. His knowledge and responsiveness were impressive. His sense of humor made the process less painful. read more
