Yvette Teng is the realtor you need! My spouse and I were looking for our first home together and…read morewere satisfied working with Yvette through this new adventure. We wanted a verified and authentic realtor that was reputable and found her! This review is not solicited; it is our honest review after four months of working with Yvette. BACKGROUND: - We were first-time home buyers in the Bay Area and needed a realtor with an experienced reputation. - We had a lot of questions and were very picky about finding a home; we did not want a house near a graveyard, school, and within earshot distance from a train. Yvette was very accommodating and patient with us in finding a home with these requirements and big-picture questions throughout the process. - We spent a few months touring homes with Yvette until we found one that met our standards and price range. - Yvette and her team helped us understand what was happening every step of the way. - This home purchase and escrow was completed before the National Association of Realtors July 2024 settlement on who pays buyer commissions. QUALITIES: - She had a high level of knowledge of the current housing market and the neighborhood we were interested in. - She frequently sent us great matches for what we were looking for. - She pointed out subtle things that we would have missed but were important for our decision process during home tours. - She was always flexible and available for home tours and phone calls. If she was not available for calls, she was very attentive through text messages. - She was strategic in setting and managing expectations on homes and the paperwork. - She was honest and transparent throughout the entire process. She treated the situation as if she were purchasing the property--she looked out for us and had our best interests in mind. - During the processes of the home search, bidding on homes, escrow and paperwork, moving into the home, and after moving into the home, Yvette was attentive and constantly checked in on us to ensure we were comfortable and informed. My family and I highly recommend Yvette Teng and her exceptional team. Home buying is incredibly stressful, but Yvette maintained a calm and confident mindset and kept our anxieties low. Her promptness, strategic mindset, positive energy, and knowledge of the market are why we will not hesitate to call Yvette when we are looking to buy again.

Highly recommended.

Nicole is an absolute saint…read more My father had a home in the East Bay that he needed to sell. Nicole was the second Realtor I met with. The first realtor I met with made me feel a little uneasy. Nicole was the complete opposite. She came to our meeting with documentation/examples, was super reassuring, and I felt very safe with her. My father was not an easy client, but Nicole was super supportive through every step, and she has a team for everything! She was able to take care of every detail - she had a team for the repairs, the inspections, cleaning, the staging, and so many things I'm sure I'm missing to mention! Even though it was my father's house, he is really 'hands off' and aloof, so Nicole was very helpful and patient with all of my questions, and very supportive through the whole process. I am so so so grateful for Nicole & highly recommend her! She and her team are the absolute best!

As second-time home buyers, we felt extremely lucky to have Kevin & Sunil as our real estate…read moreagents. Both of them are knowledgeable professionals. With our very stringent must have lists for our home, Kevin was very patient and understood what we were looking for. He was always available to answer questions we had, help us analyze the property and even point out why something may or may not work for us based on what we were looking for. We appreciated that honestly and not being rushed in to putting an offer. In addition, both Kevin and Sunil guided us in various aspects like the inspections, post-purchase cost documentation, what we need to do etc. If you are in the market for purchasing a home, we would highly recommend Kevin and Sunil to represent you as your agents.

I highly recommend Sunil and Kevin to anyone looking to purchase a new home! As someone new to this process, they took the time and effort to walk us through the entire gig. Throughout the process not only did he educate us about the process but also managed to understand our preferences as home-buyers. He picked properties that matched our preferences and were in good neighborhoods. Sunil and Kevin took the effort to ensure that we were happy with the decisions made, fine-tuning preferences and did not shy away from giving unbiased opinions as mature experienced real-estate agents. Ultimately they were focussed on ensuring that we as home-buyers were happy at the end. While we had worked with other agents initially, once we started working with Sunil and Kevin, we immediately realized the difference in expertise, guidance and their focus on long-term customer satisfaction. The home buying process can be an anxious and long journey, especially if you are a new home-buyer, so being in good hands matters tremendously! They made the entire process seamless, hassle-free and most importantly - something that resulted in us being happy "home-owners" at the end.

She met with me the next day after having wasted months with a different agent, and wow, I was blown away. Brittany knew the market inside and out and had the confidence to do what needed to be done to make a quick sale happen. She was as prepared as it gets, super communicative, and understand how to deal with the intricacies of my particular sale. I kid you not - within six days of going live on the market, we had an offer over the asking price with most contingencies waived. The open house was flowing with people despite the unfavorable weather and the issues with my solar loan. No problem was too big for her and her team to handle. If I needed extra boxes, they were delivered. She negotiated on my behalf with her vendors to get inspections done ahead of time (a sales tactic that worked well). She is also personable and genuinely cares about your situation. She makes time for you regardless of how busy she is. Her communication skills are top notch and the best of any realtor I've ever worked with. The irony is I had the polar opposite experience with a different agent at the same office, but don't let that dissuade you from working with one of the best real estate agents in the Bay Area. Brittany uses the latest technology and sales techniques to present your house in the best possible light while disregarding the minor details that do not matter. Hire her if you want to sell for top dollar and work with a team who knows what they are doing. She is the best.

We are so grateful for all of her hard work and would highly recommend Leticia to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you again for helping us successfully sell our home!

We initially spoke with him before signing on with Real Estate 38, and as first-time home buyers, he really helped put our minds at ease and gave us the confidence we needed to navigate what was, at the time, the most expensive purchase of our lives. Shilpa, who we worked with more closely throughout both home purchases, is knowledgeable, responsive, and always looking out for her clients' best interests. At the same time, she's realistic and honest about the situation. She follows through on her commitments, stays on top of every detail, and is always on time and prepared. We trusted her completely throughout both transactions and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.
