Wesley Ko came highly recommended from a friend. He laid out a plan for us to sell my current…read moreapartment and purchase a new house in 6 months (all in Oakland) and he worked very hard to help accomplish that goal. Throughout the process he was patient, responsive and professional. For the sale, Wesley and his teammates were extremely efficient when it came to staging and holding open houses and we were able to sell my apartment after the first scheduled showings. The only really difficult thing I had to do was say goodbye to the apartment and move out. I am extremely picky and so when we began to tour houses, Wesley's patience and eye for details really helped narrow down potential properties that would be a good fit for me and we also struck out a lot of bad ones. Wesley's experience shines during touring. Just to name a few things he has a keen sense of smell for moisture/mold, can feel for the slightest unevenness in floors and can tell good from bad repair work just from a quick glance and feel, he has really seen it all. This is where a whole lot of Wesley's value comes from, he's not just another paper pusher...he actually enjoys looking at houses with clients and he is great at pointing out things that a normal person wouldn't see. Eventually a few months later we were able to close on a new house that was exactly what I was looking for. It was a pleasure to work with Wesley and he was so helpful throughout the entire process. As I said before he is thoughtful, smart, engaged and it's clear he loves what he does and I now recommend him to everyone I know who is looking to buy in the bay area.

And he was very patient with me. Helping me decide on the best home for me. He has a lot of knowledge as far as different types of houses and what to look for and what to avoid. I felt that he was more concerned about me finding the right home then a commission which was very courteous on his part. I would definitely recommend working with him. You will surely find the right home.

Lee was highly professional, responsive, and very knowledgeable about the local market. What impressed me most was his execution. From staging coordination, photography, marketing, and open houses to negotiating the offer and guiding the escrow process, everything moved efficiently and smoothly. He was also very communicative throughout the process and always made sure I understood the options and timing at each step. I especially appreciated his steady and thoughtful advice during the negotiation stage, which helped us reach a solid outcome with a clean and reliable offer. Selling a property can be stressful, but Lee's experience and calm approach made the entire process much easier. I'm glad we worked together on this sale. I would absolutely recommend Lee to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in Daly City or the Peninsula.

We moved to the peninsula less than a year ago and started renting with the plan to buy a house in…read morethe coming year or two. When we interviewed realtors we were drawn to Raziel because it felt like every question we had was answered and backed up by data-driven analyses. We were also really intrigued by his unconventional process that is extremely involved in the beginning. Coming from out of state we learned so much about the area and what kinds of properties we could expect for our budget in each neighborhood we were interested in. This allowed us to really hone in our search and made the process less stressful because at that point we knew exactly what we wanted and were prepared for the right house to come along. During this time Raziel also guided us through the process of understanding buying a turn-key property vs. something that would need renovations. When we found our ideal property, we were a little anxious because it was an off-market Hillsborough house. But Raziel was quick to move and get us a showing and guide us to make the right offer for the property. It was complicated, as some off-market listings can be, but it was Raziel's strong relationship with the listing agent that helped our offer prevail. We have to say that every time we saw a house and the listing agent heard we were working with Raziel they had a genuinely warm reaction that made it obvious he is well-liked and respected in his field. Also, Raziel knew our plan was to buy in the 1-2 year range and we never felt pressure to move that timeline up. Instead, for every house we considered putting an offer on, Raziel gave us a thorough discussion of all the reasons why someone would not want to buy the house, and that helped us really decide if it was the right property for us. It always felt like he truly wanted to find us the right house for our family, not just make a business transaction. We feel so grateful that we worked with Raziel and his team to find our ideal property (thank you Jenny and Angilee!).

With their support, we bought our home…read moresooner than we expected, and the entire process was incredibly smooth: our very first offer was accepted. In the Peninsula's competitive market, we couldn't believe it! As first time home buyers, we were looking for someone deeply knowledgeable who could guide us through the entire process: from understanding local neighborhoods and why buyers might choose one over the other, narrowing down our criteria along with what's realistic in our budget, doing diligence when the right house pops up, and navigating the offer process. We didn't know what we didn't know, and we really wanted an expert. Raziel was exactly who we were looking for! He has a very well-structured process that we loved - touring neighborhoods, looking at past sold homes together, and moving quickly when the right house pops up. I really enjoyed learning as much as I could from Raziel, as he has so much local knowledge that I would never have learned otherwise. For the home we ultimately purchased, he suggested bringing an engineer on-site to take a look at the house before we submitted our offer. He also flagged an unusual item in the seller's disclosure packet that he hadn't seen before and recommended reviewing it with a real estate attorney. We followed both suggestions. Everything checked out, and because of that diligence, we felt confident submitting our offer. We would not have taken those extra steps without his guidance. Raziel truly de-risked the process as much as possible. By offer day, we felt informed and prepared. We love our home and are incredibly grateful for Raziel and his team. We can't recommend them highly enough!

Surprisingly, before the house was even listed on the market, we got a great offer just two weeks after we signed a contract with Kevin. This shows how well-connected and experienced Kevin and his team is with both buyers and sellers of properties in the Bay Area/Daly City market. We were very impressed by his presentation of showcasing the property to gain maximum exposure to both online and visiting buyers. As our realtor, Kevin was in constant communication throughout the entire process and we ended up getting the best deal possible. Selling a home has never been so well-organized, convenient and satisfying. I highly recommend and compliment Kevin and Kinetic Real Estate for an outstanding job!

Not only was she approachable, she answered every question that I presented to her. She really put me at ease by the knowledge and expertise that she conveyed. I was so excited to work with her.

Our family members visited the home we were interested in individually and multiple times. Each time John was happy to show us the house, explained different features and answered all our questions. We decided to make an offer. There was a gap between seller's expectation and our offer. John didn't rush and push us to buy. He worked very hard to negotiate with seller and reduce the gap. Because of John's hard work, we reached to a mutually agreed price with seller. Before closing, we wanted to purchase furniture and needed quite a lot measurement in the new home. Every time John made the effort to accommodate us in the house to do all kinds of measurement. He helped us moving out all stuff we don't want to keep in the basement of new home. John was extremely helpful during our purchase process. He always tried his best to accommodate us and address all our concerns. What's more, John went the extra mile in making sure we were happy with the new home purchase. We love the seller's outdoor statue. John ordered a similar statue for us as a gift. We really appreciate it! Overall, we had great experience working with John during the whole process, and very satisfied with our new home. I highly recommend John!

In that time, we have referred many friends to Rehana for help buying their first homes. Each and every time, she has been amazing and everyone has walked away with a new home and a new friend. With the recent sale of a family home as part of an estate, Rehana went far beyond anyone's expectations to guide us through a confusing process, to help us clean out a packed house, and facilitate all repairs and updates so that the house, in the end, looked spectacular and sold well above asking within four days on the market. In the process, she quickly built rapport with my octogenarian family members, was available whenever we needed anything, and got us over some really challenging hurdles with the house. She is a tenacious and sharp negotiator and made sure we got the best possible offers. Rehana is exceedingly patient, incredibly wise, a fantastic communicator, super honest, thinks outside the box, and is just really fun to spend time with. I would (and do) recommend her to anyone.
