"Hi, It's Eva, we just finished with the inspection and everything looks good, you should be all set. I am in labor and headed to the hospital right now - but don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions." That's Eva, realtor extraordinaire, and yes, this really did happen. We were unable to make it to an inspection but Eva attended on our behalf and afterward went straight the hospital to give birth, a few days later, we closed on our first home. The real estate market in the San Gabriel Valley is fierce and competitive, with the deck stacked against traditional home buyers, favoring instead investors with all cash offers. We were not one of these investors, and so in this real estate market, we were automatically at a disadvantage. We were however strong candidates for financing and pre-approved to 'play the game'. Together we toured a staggering number of properties and submitted numerous offers, counter offers, and final offers. But at no time did we ever feel pressured - we always felt that Eva had our best interest in mind. When we began to lose hope and 'settle' for something less, Eva would gently guide us and reinvigorate our ambitions. At every meeting, Eva met us with a sincere grin and a 'can do attitude'. She advised us on hidden costs, her professional recommendations, and possibilities - helping us to see each property for what it was and could be. Throughout the process, Eva becomes a good friend. She makes it a priority to learn about you and your family, how you spend your time, and what you find interesting and enjoyable. For special occasions, like birthdays and anniversaries, a special something would inevitably show up on our doorstep, from Eva - usually something personal with a handwritten note. Ultimately, Eva becomes an extension of your family, finding the perfect property to fit your needs and an advocate for you at the negotiating table. This was our first home purchase, which can be difficult to navigate, add to this the challenge of competing with buyers who make it their business to beat out others at seemingly any cost, we were stressed to say the least. For us to have any chance in this market, we needed a trusting and optimistic agent who is tenacious, tough, knowledgable, and exhibits great finesse - Eva encompasses all of these traits. She professionally and enthusiastically guided us through the process of buying our first home. We count ourselves very fortunate to have worked with Eva and cannot speak more highly of her and her team. read more

Eva & Angel went way beyond the extra mile for us. We've never had a more outstanding, professional experience with a real estate agency. They really watch out for you and tell you the straight scoop to protect your interests and get you your dream house. If you want the best agent in the Pasadena/San Marino and surrounding areas agent the Lin Realty Group is it. Truly white-glove service that will save you time and money. You will be more than satisfied; as we were. read more

I had a great experience working with Eva and her team. They made the process of selling our condo simple, and the team was very professional and reliable. If I ever need to sell another property, I would not hesitate to go with the Lin Reality Group. read more

My wife and I had a hard time selling our beautiful house last fall, even during a strong seller's market. We considered doing an expensive renovation, but fortunately we called Eva first. In our very first meeting with Eva, she pointed out the missteps we had made in preparing and marketing our house for sale. Impressively, she came up with a lot of great ideas for improving the appeal of our home right on the spot! We signed up with Eva and were very pleased with how she and her team handled every aspect of the home selling process. She gave us great advice regarding pricing strategy given the market and how similar houses were selling. Meanwhile, her team totally transformed our house in only a week with expert painting, staging, and repairs. The results were outstanding. Our house looked like a totally different house on the inside. Once we went back on to the market, we booked many more showings than the first time around and ended up receiving 15 offers, including some that far exceeded our expectations. Eva's skills at evaluating the strength of these offers and her negotiating strategies also really impressed us. Our house sold in six days for a price per square foot that set a new record in our neighborhood by a large margin. We believe that Eva's knowledge, experience, and passion for every aspect of the house selling process really made the difference for us. We enjoyed working with her and her team and we would recommend doing so to anyone who requires the highest level of expertise and professionalism when selling their home. read more

We entered the market as first time home buyers in the midst of the pandemic, a very strong seller's market. We had South Pasadena or San Marino in mind with a price range we were comfortable with. After speaking with a few realtors online, the chances seemed slim, they all suggested that we start looking elsewhere or raise our price range. I stumbled onto Lin Realty Group's website online randomly, and I figured it couldn't hurt to set up a call. Her welcome presentation blew us away and she gave us the confidence that we would be able to find our dream home in those neighborhoods within our price range. The entire process took about 6 months. We started off house hunting remotely on the East Coast and eventually became in-person about half way through. They were always responsive about setting up open houses, and always did their homework on the condition of the home. When we became anxious about not being able to find a home (houses were getting 30+ offers), but they assured us we'd be able to find it. When we did find our home, Eva's team really held our hand through it all. They helped us set up all the inspections within the very short contingency period. Special shout out to Angel, who answered my million questions about the process, inspection findings, and helped us with the negotiation. And it doesn't stop there, Eva's team kept in touch after the deal closed! They helped us set up the gas, water, etc as well as figured out the tax situation for us. They also dropped off presents at the end :). I would definitely recommend Eva and her team! read more

Eva and her team were great! They lead us throughout the entire process and made everything run smoothly for my wife and I. Her team coordinated and scheduled all appointments, facilitated all transactions and gave us exceptional customer service. I would definitely recommend Eva for her service and would absolutely hire her again for any future deals. read more

Our family just had the most incredible experience buying our new home. With our two little girls growing bigger every day, our Pasadena condo was getting too darn cramped! We were ready to buy a great house in a great school district. Since we heard wonderful things about Eva Lin from an old colleague, and we always see her signs around the neighborhood, we decided to give her a call. JACKPOT! Having Eva as our Realtor was such a delight. From the first meeting all the way to the closing, in both big ways and small, Eva made us feel special, valued, and downright celebrated. This wasn't our first foray into the real estate market and we've worked with other real estate agents in the past. Simply put, Eva and her team operate on a different level. Imagine the difference between staying in a suite at the Ritz-Carlton vs. a room at Motel 6! In addition to Eva's unyielding eagerness and positivity, we were thrilled with how knowledgeable she was on the neighborhoods we were interested in (South Pasadena & La Canada) and her strategic/aggressive approach to beating out the competition so we could win the house we wanted. The overall KICK BUTT way she guided us through the whole process, including the help she offered with finding the right lender, was invaluable to us. Now we're getting ready to sell our condo, which is something I'd normally be less than excited about. Knowing that we have Eva and her team to guide us through this next project, I feel pumped and can't wait to continue enjoying my Ritz-Carlton-esque experience! Eva Lin is the BEST Realtor in Pasadena if you ask us! read more

Do yourself a favor. Call Eva Lin. We did. And it was like Newton's Third Law. For every action, there was an equal and opposite reaction. Every new challenge that popped up, Eva was there to handle it alongside us. Working with Eva was an exceptional experience for me and my family. She helped us sell our Lower Arroyo home in Pasadena and helped us purchase a new home nearby. Over the months we spent working together, we always felt we were in the hands of somebody who was both extremely skilled in her profession and extremely caring. It's this unique blend of qualities that makes Eva the best of the best! She was always there for us when we needed her--extremely quick to respond and eager to help us. She and her team put in a tremendous amount of work making sure our home was ready to go on the market and gave it 210%. Example: the photography that was done on our home looked fine. Eva felt they could be improved upon, so she paid for a different photographer to immediately re-shoot the entire house! That's just one small example. The biggest things are often the smallest things. Bottom line, we made fewer calls, we spent less time researching, we did less legwork and wrote fewer emails. And every step of the way we were aware of how difficult the process COULD HAVE BEEN. There's the cake, here's the cherry on top it all off, she did everything while she was 9 months pregnant! She called us on the day we were closing and apologized for not being able to hand us the keys in person. She was calling from the hospital, just hours after delivering her beautiful newborn baby! At this point you're probably picking up the phone to call Eva, but you also don't want to miss the rest of this review. Don't worry, calling her is the better use of your time. I use run-on sentences whereas she will run on and on to get you into your new home or sell your current property. It felt wonderful knowing that we had a real estate agent who we could trust and who was eager to go the extra mile for us as a matter of principle. Now that we've worked with Eva, we can't imagine anyone doing a better job. read more

Buying a home in a hot housing market during a strong seller's market is rife with uncertainty and self-questioning, compounding an intrinsically high-stakes transaction. Lin Realty Group guided us through this time, and we couldn't be more grateful. The team swiftly provided thoughtful, knowledgeable advice through the entire process. The team never pushed; always guided. The entire team is knowledgeable and professional. They are always there for us. Thanks Lin Realty Group! read more

She had a long time seller she had been in escrow with 3 times. She took on dual agency and sold the tri plex she had been trying to sell for a year and half without disclosing any important documents and helped seller slide everything under the rug. We took her to Pasadena real estate board for ethics violations and she lost as they demanded her to take ethics courses for her violations. Refusing, she fought and lost again. Check Pasadena and California real estate board before doing any business with her. read more

Thank you to Eva, Angel, and the whole Lin Realty Group team for everything you've done for us in this home-buying process. We found our DREAM home thanks to your guidance. We can't express our gratitude enough. Thank you for changing our lives. Hugo and Laurén. read more

When we decided to sell our home, we looked into all different ways possible, including FSBO, iBuying, selling to relatives, and listing by an agent. After all the research and interviewing five local agents, including a realtor friend of ours, we decided to go with Eva. It was a pretty tough decision, but we believed Eva would be most likely to deliver the result we wanted. Eva and her team provided excellent service; they were always there whenever we had questions or needed anything, especially after we relocated to a different city. Without going into too much detail, Eva fought for us using her negotiation skill and strategy during the selling process. Even in a seller's market, it's still very stressful when selling our home because it's our biggest asset. We truly felt that Eva put our interests first. We highly recommend Eva Lin to anybody looking for an outstanding real estate agent with great knowledge and experience in the Pasadena area. read more

Eva and her team at Lin Realty did a great job selling our mom's house for us. Eva's process is spot on and led us to a great result. She knows the market and what it takes to sell a house. She explained each aspect of the process and why each step in her process is designed to prepare the house for a good sale. The house sold above our asking price despite rising interest rates and the approaching holidays. The whole process including refurbishment, listing, staging etc. including escrow, was all completed within about 60 days. Her experience paid off for us. Wow! Eva's team is fantastic! Every one of them was top notch with excellent attention to detail and highly service oriented even to the point of helping to maintain the property while it was empty. Her other vendors, staging, landscaping etc. got the house looking great in a short time with Eva's guidance. Thank you, Eva and Team! We are so thankful. read more

I had heard such incredible things about Eva from when she sold my best friends parents' home in Monterey Park for top dollar, over a million, for a home that all other real estate agents had told them would be impossible to sell for a million. However, I knew she was based in Pasadena with a focus in the local area in LA county and I lived in Irvine. But like the true professional Eva is, when my family friends asked if she would consider helping me find an agent or consider the off chance of taking me on, she responded that she would be more than happy to help sell my parents' home in Irvine. I couldn't have been more shocked and thrilled that she was going to come out to see the property and see whether we would be on the same page. I was more than impressed by her vision, attention to detail and her sweet and caring disposition. I was also ecstatic that with her recommendations, her estimated selling range was significantly higher than any of the other agents I had spoken with. My best friend had warned me that selling a family home after your parents have passed away, especially after decades of memories in that home is an emotionally grueling process. One that was made much easier for them because Eva understood this implicitly. But to experience her empathy, tact, and communication that was always based in kindness and trying to help in any way possible, was truly a blessing and something I am forever grateful for. She is incredibly busy with her thriving and successful business and yet when I would feel as though I would be bothering her for calling or texting her too frequently, she never once made me feel that way. She consistently made me feel as though I was her only client, and she was all too ready to solve any issues that arise during the renovation process with a calmness that immediately conveys that all will be made right. Her team, especially Grace and Angel, are equally incredible, kind and impressive. There are a lot of moving parts to each part of the process between managing the property improvements, advising on budget while also relying on her knowledge of what would garner a good return on investment, the negotiation tactics with potential buyers' agents and closing conditions, were all beyond exceptional. Even prior to the open house, a local agent looked at me like I was crazy when I said what my target selling price was. He said it was the first week of October and prices and sales were already slowing down. I looked at Eva and she just assured me I had nothing to worry about. Yes, she was beyond diligent in running and assessing all the recent sale numbers, but she also was steadfast in holding onto her utmost confidence in understanding why my parents' home was so unique to the other homes. She understood that there are factors beyond the numbers on the page and the higher interest rates that were slowing the market down. Thankfully my utmost trust in her vision of how she would market the home and negotiate price was well placed. We got to the target sale price of 1.45 when most were estimating as low as 1.1-1.2 million with rising interest rates. Beyond being thrilled with the sale price though, I cannot stress enough that what cannot be replicated is the attention to detail, the constant communication, professionalism, positive energy and kindness during an emotional and stressful undertaking. To do it from another county, in an area she made certain she could just as confidently fulfill her promises, only further proves that Eva can prove herself an expert in any area, in any market, and if the property is right, sell the property not only above asking price, but well above what other agents will estimate it will sell at. To be clear though, Eva is not in the business of puffing, or over selling on promises she isn't confident in. There is extensive research and a strategy behind everything she communicates. Eva has this ability to always be tactful, yet upfront with her honesty if she needs to bring a client back down to earth a bit about listing price. She understands the intangibles that aren't so obvious and the psychology of buyers, with her finger on the pulse of where the market was, is and where it's going. From the first meeting to the professionalism of her closing agency, you can count on top notch communication, professionalism and a streamlined process knowing you are in safe hands. I cannot be more thankful or recommend Eva and her incredible team more, especially to those who have a property that you know is worth more than what just the square footage and local sales on paper. If she sees the potential to list more competitively and then negotiate like a rock star, she will confidently let you know and follow through. Thank you Eva. I am forever grateful to you, Grace, Angel and your entire team. I would recommend Eva and her team to everyone! read more

tl;dr: An efficient smart lead and team that are always responsive and helpful far beyond close of escrow. They will feel like family to you (the part of family that you like and want to see) and take the edge off of making such a large scary purchase, walking you through step by step at a pace you are comfortable with. Our family started looking for a home in Pasadena at the end of 2018. It was hard. Nothing felt right. And the agents we met were less than exciting and not terribly helpful. We found most of our listings on redfin. Honestly, with the information on the internet, I felt like an agent wasn't really useful. When we found our home, I was very excited but nervous about the whole process. We met Eva after we fell in love with the home. So I thought working with her would be the same as working with anyone else. But I was wrong. She is warm and professional, genuinely looking out for your best interest, and works hard for you at any and all hours. During negotiations, she made sure we were comfortable with the decisions being made, gave us excellent advice while still allowing us to make educated decisions, and made sure we were not overextending our budget. During escrow and the discovery period when things were getting heated with the sellers, Eva would have us step back and reassess to make sure we still liked and wanted the property. Her advice and expertise were invaluable. But that's not where it ends, her support team is excellent. She and they respond promptly to messages, emails, and phone calls. Even after we closed, they were there to assist us in all aspects of our move including arranging transfer of utilities, recommendations for cleaners, movers, etc and coordinating times that work for us, they even offered to help unpack! The services they provided were so helpful during such a stressful time. One would think the relationship would end once you move in. Well not with Lin Realty! We attended their annual picnic and met other people that have worked with Eva and her team. Not surprisingly, many had similar experiences. We are now in the process of using her team to lease out our condo. Once again, everything is going smoothly and efficiently. read more

Eva was a great help to me as I purchased my first home. I wasn't sure which neighborhood was right for me, but I knew I wanted to live somewhere safe. Eva patiently helped me explore several different areas including Pasadena, Studio City, Glendale, and Burbank. She shared very useful information about each neighborhood that helped me make a well-informed decision about where to plant my roots. I'm so thankful for how Eva made everything feel simple and straightforward. I never felt overwhelmed or confused by real estate jargon because she would patiently take the time to explain everything to me and make sure that I felt comfortable. She made me feel like there were no silly questions.. After searching for a while I found a home I knew I loved and Eva did an amazing job negotiating and making sure that my offer was accepted, even though there were many other buyers putting in offers too. Even now that I've been living in my new home for several months, Eva is still available anytime I need her to answer questions. She's not only a very skilled real estate agent but also a very caring one too. I've already recommended her to my friends and I will continue to do so! read more

This is a long review, however they deserve every word and I think it's worth your time reading :) Having Lin Realty as your realtor is like having a personalized concierge team to help you find the perfect home for your family! The team is incredibly attentive, reliable, down-to-earth and a joy to work with. They're also very patient working with the needs of each family member (some harder to please than others lol) and never once did we feel rushed or pressured throughout our 7 months journey in search of a house that checks all our boxes in this low-supply pandemic housing market. Being a first time buyer, Eva and Angel guided us each step of the way, from the many documents involved, to the local markets and neighborhoods, and competitive bidding strategies that obviate getting into a bidding war. While Eva was on maternity leave, Angel took great care of us and we've come to rely on her as she's truly a subject matter expert who can spot the conditions and pitfalls of both interior and exterior of a place, and is extensively knowledgeable in giving ideas on easy projects to improve a place and their ballpark costs. Angel is like a trusted friend and consultant whose candid insights have helped us make well-informed decisions into whether to go for a place. When we do, Eva was always involved in the offer process, even when she was still on leave! The whole Lin Realty team went above and beyond to make us feel special and cared for, specific examples include: - Eva helped hand-write a Chinese letter, back when love letters for a house was a norm before the Fair Housing Act - Angel helped us in countless ways. Let's just say that we'd love to share fruits from the trees at our new home for years to come! She also gives good food rec's around our new place - Vincent found highly-rated specialists and contractors, and took care of all the scheduling in the time sensitive 10-day contingency period. He also helped us with various things, like troubleshooting a Google Home device, helping with the electric panel and gate, scheduling locksmith for re-keying, and delivering unexpected thoughtful sweets after Angel learned of a personal good news. He also crafted the English love letter upon interviewing to learn about us - Wendy was there for all the scheduled inspections, calling to make sure they come on-time, took notes for follow-ups, and scheduled them accordingly. These scheduling and calling help from Vincent and Wendy cannot be understated, as doing these ourselves now we've learned that getting contractors to come on-time is no easy feat! - Aida provided additional availability to tour places on the weekends - Grace helped with getting us set up at the new place, like utilities and change of address when we're ready - Eva and team sent us thoughtful gestures like hand-written cards and gourmet treats to celebrate different milestones of the buying process Last but not least, extra services that put them over the top of what're already phenomenal services: - Eva has a YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY2ro-B2X5287W4HG2uPjZw). We discovered it by accident and it should be promoted more as it has great tips on buying / selling and market updates! - Neighborhood and Comparable reports, being a data-driven person, it's great to have stats - They told us that concierge services are available even *after* the sale, like house & pet sitting up to 10 days per year, packing & moving assistance, contractor referrals / coordination, and just discovered this on their website "quarterly HVAC filter replacement". Who does these?!? I don't know any other realtor who would, hence why they deserve a long 5-star review. Thanks for reading, and thanks Eva, Angel, and team! read more

My experience with realtors in the past, including with my own cousin who is a realtor, is that their career motivation is primarily driven by money. There is nothing wrong with wanting to make money, money provides us with the opportunity to live comfortably and happily, which in turn gives us the opportunity to make a positive difference in this world by helping others. But what I have seen, again with those realtors I have known, including my cousin, is that the nature of this career seems to bring so much attention to the money that it becomes the end goal and nothing more, which is a shame. I also always thought that realtors depended so much on the MLS access to sell houses that often they would not really earn that commission, which being in California, and in LA County, is insanely high. I never felt that realtors deserved such a huge cut of a home that we put so much time and effort to maintain. I spoke to two realtors before I found Eva, one of them was my cousin, and during that time, I was highly stressed, I had been diagnosed with cancer the year before and with the costs of alternative medicine and not being able to work for that year, I decided it was time to sell the one asset I had to be able to continue to afford my treatments and to fully heal. And neither really could relieve the burden that selling my condo caused. I still found myself worried about who to hire to fix even minor things or to give a fresh coat of paint to the interior to make it move in ready. Enter Eva...She came to me on the first day with such certainty, she told me what I needed to do to make he home move in ready for a buyer, what colors to paint the interior and also had a team of people that helped her and contractors who were actually good that I didn't need to deal with because we all know that dealing with contractors can be a nightmare. But not with Eva as she curates it all. But that's not the best part of Eva. The best thing I can say about Eva is that she reminds me that, while men are still massively outnumbering women in business and politics, that if women did it, and stayed true to their female nature with the aggressiveness of business mind, the world would be a much better place. She is the first woman I have met who is a great business person, she knows how to make money and is successful doing so, but who also hasn't lost her female integrity. And that is compassion. That is the biggest gift that women have and that we sometimes lose when we enter predominantly male business fields because we feel we need to compete with men on the male octave. But she stays in her lane, does things completely different, and she has pleasantly surprised me with how she has brought those different sides of her to her business. I have seen her make some tough decisions, and I know it can't be easy to be such a strong woman in business, and doing things how she does them, but she always honors her clients and when she says she guarantees the best customer service, she honestly does. I have never seen such good customer service, she understands and she listens. She will make your life easier during this process of selling your home, you can trust her integrity, and I truly don't believe you will ever find a more ethical and compassionate realtor anywhere. read more

Eva and her team handled everything we needed in a professional and courteous manner. From the day we first talked until the day Eva called and confirmed that the escrow had closed everything was seamless. In the beginning Eva made recommendations to make the home more appealing. She even had referrals for the various trades when our contractors failed to complete the job on time. When we hit the market Eva held the open house. She called me that night and said we had an offer, but that there were others coming in as well. All told we had 8 offers the first week we were on the market. Eva presented the offers in a manner that allowed us to compare them, side by side, on a spreadsheet. Eva then recommended a counter offer strategy that resulted in a sale that was $100,000 over our list price. In addition, we were able to close escrow in only 10 days. If you need a broker in the Pasadena area, I recommend Eva and her team for a job well done. You won't be disappointed. read more

Eva and her team worked tirelessly to sell our house. Aspects to the sale were not straight forward. Every time something came up, she found a way to resolve the issue. We always received a prompt response to any questions or concerns. We couldn't be more satisfied with her work and intend on hiring her again when it's time to purchase a home. read more

Working long hours in Downtown LA and living in OC was becoming too much to handle for me. It was time to find somewhere closer to the office to plant my roots and Pasadena seemed the perfect place. I was looking for an agent who knew the area and I came across Eva Lin. What a find! I'm so happy I had Eva and her team help me buy my new home. The last thing I needed was added stress or bad advice. Thankfully, Eva was a HUGE help! Her guidance and insights were invaluable, she connected me with an incredible mortgage lender who gave me a serious leg up on the competition, and when we found the right home, she helped me beat out 5 other offers (including 2 that were all cash!) Having the right real estate agent on your side makes all the difference in the world. read more

This is the 5th home my husband and I have sold, but the first with Eva Lin as our realtor. Our experience with Eva was nothing less than exceptional. She knew the local real estate market here in San Marino cold and she masterfully negotiated to ensure us the best price and terms on the sale. What's more, she and her support staff operated with smooth efficiency and went out of their way to take many time-consuming task off our hands. This "concierge-level" of service was something we did not expect, but we deeply valued as it allowed us spend more time at our beach home rather that constantly driving over to tie up loose ends. Throughout the whole process, Eva was always strategic , effective and intentional. She is truly a rare find!! She was following up on a significant detail one day after closing , only after the fact was I made aware that she had delivered a child a few hours prior. She is a pleasure to work with , she eludes enthusiasm through out the process, which was remarkably short. Without hesitation we would absolutely recommend her to anybody in need of a caring, trustworthy , top-tier real estate agent in San Marino. read more

Eva and her team are absolutely wonderful to work with. It's like having a friend on the "inside" that is working for you. As first time sellers, my husband and I interviewed 8 agents who all showed very strong backgrounds and impressive expertise. At the end, we chose Eva because she immediately understood our concerns about selling a townhouse that involves complicated HOA situations and she was exceptionally knowledgeable about our neighborhood. Her confidence in listing our property at a competitive price definitely made us feel we were in good hands. Long story short, we found a committed buyer within 5 days at a price that's 7.8% higher than asking. It only took 3 weeks to close the escrow and it was much smoother than we had imagined. Along this journey, we experienced zero headaches; everything was taken care of with the highest standards and the most thoughtful approaches. Also I'd love to mention that, we caught a cold in the middle of the selling process and Eva's concierge team sent us a gift basket filled with cold-easing goodies. We were really touched by her kindness. We have and will continue to recommend her to all of our family and friends. read more

My wife and I were ready to take a big step... Buying a home together. This would mean we could take an even bigger step... Starting a family. We were feeling excited, nervous, and hopeful all at once. As we started house shopping, we quickly realized just how crazy the market is in Pasadena and Altadena! Every time a good house hit the market, there were a ton of buyers vying for it. We'd get our hopes up only to end up feeling disappointed. Through it all, Eva was there for us giving great strategic advice, advocating for us, and helping us stay positive. A month ago we found ourselves in the same situation... The perfect house hit the market, and, of course, lots of people were interested. Eva fought tooth and nail for us as she always does, and this time we came out on top! I don't think we'd have won this house without Eva's strategies and hard work. What's more, the commitment and compassion of the Lin Realty Group team is something special. The kindness and care they've shown us during this journey has been deeply appreciated and, frankly, something we didn't expect from our realtor. Without a doubt, Eva's guidance changed our lives, and we're so excited to start our family in such a wonderful home. Working with Eva and her team is like having a superpower that gives you an unfair advantage in a highly competitive and market. If you are looking for a realtor, whether you are trying to buy your first home or sell your fifth, look no further -- Eva is the best! read more

Eva and her team were nothing short of exceptional throughout the entire homebuying process! If you are looking for a professional and knowledgeable agent in the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley area, Lin Realty Group will surely take good care of you! read more

Eva Lin and her team are amazing. I had never sold a home before, and Eva walked me through the process--every step of the way--with insight and savvy. As a direct result of Eva's leadership and know-how, the final sale price was much more than I ever expected. Plus, Eva is a joy to work with. You can trust Eva Lin to help you sell your home--painlessly and successfully. read more

Eva helped my family with both a home sale and a home purchase. The level of service and care we received was nothing short of outstanding. Based on our research, we suspected that Eva was a good real estate agent, but she really impressed us with her expertise. More than that, we felt that we had somebody on our side who genuinely cared about us and who made sure our best interest was being served. In our book, Eva is the best real estate agent in Pasadena! We couldn't have asked for more :) read more

I'm a doctor, so I don't have much time off work. I was concerned about how I'd manage my intense work schedule with all the details of buying a home for the very first time. I knew I wanted real estate in Pasadena, but besides that, I had a lot of questions. I needed an expert, and luckily, Eva appeared right on time! She didn't jump in and start pushing me to buy a house. She accommodated to my busy schedule, she was very approachable and efficient in communicating with me. She took the time to show me all the different neighborhoods. She explained what made the Pasadena housing market unique, the different styles of homes around town, and the pros and cons of each. I felt empowered to make smart decisions based on the knowledge she shared. I didn't think I'd feel so confident when buying my first home, but now that I'm settled in my cozy new condo, I realize that Eva set me up for success every step of the way! Thank you, Eva! :) You're the best real estate agent I could have asked for! From start and even until now, I know I can count on her in anything. P.S. Eva's team offers a "concierge program" and it's AMAZING. They help me throughout the whole home-buying process and even after the sale closed. Eva's team helped me with utilities, clean-up, contractors, everything I didn't have time to handle. Whatever I needed; they were there to help. read more

Eva has been my go-to Pasadena realtor for years. Her guidance and insights have proven spot on time and again. Always a straight-shooter, I know I can count on her to give me honest advice that's rooted in her experience having sold hundreds of homes in/around Pasadena. I really appreciate Eva's unyielding candor and long-term thinking. I highly recommend her to anybody looking for exceptional advice and service! read more

Eva and her team far exceeded the advice and support we have experienced from any other broker we ever worked with. We chose her based on Yelp reviews and couldn't have been more pleased.  Every single person in her shop knew exactly what to do, and did it promptly, politely, and efficiently. Eva always kept us informed. She leaves decisions up to the client but she helped us navigate through the currently volatile real estate market. Every client is treated as a VIP by her team. read more

When selling your home you want an effective negotiator as you listing agent. I marvel at Eva's negotiating skills, as evidenced by how much over asking price each home she lists sells for. As a professional home stager, I get to work with many real estate agents. Eva stands out because of her attention to detail, her professionalism and her awesome, individualized marketing plan for each house she lists. The Lin Realty Group has a wonderful and efficient concierge team that will help you get your home into market ready condition with as little stress as possible. Eva is a very successful and active agent, but yet somehow manages to give each client the individualized attention they need and want. 5 stars is not enough! read more

We really enjoyed working with Eva Lin during our stint in LA both in buying and selling several properties. She's extremely professional but at the same time NOT pushy and notably has your best interest at heart whether you're a buyer or seller. I'm extremely picky with people I work with so endorsing Eva means a lot! For every property we visited, she always had the most up to date information and super quick to point out if the property was worth pursing. She's multi-lingual which makes it super great to converse in Mandarin, Cantonese, or English. She always paid great detail to the real value of a house, taking into consideration feng shui (for some), strange Asian superstitions that affect re-sale, and home conditions (including when to expect repairs and amount of investment needed). She's also VERY accommodating to your schedule needs and makes sure you understand everything (even if it's obvious). We're super grateful to have met Eva and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent in the Los Angeles, Pasadena, San Gabriel area. She'll really fight (and cheer you on) on your home purchase / selling needs and I always felt confident she could get the job done! read more

We worked with Eva and her team previously to buy our home in Pasadena, and we received such great service that we decided to go with them again for the sale of our home. We couldn't have been happier with the care and communication we received throughout the process, starting with an initial walkthrough and recommendations for improvements prior to showing, and finishing with providing her expertise to aid us in selecting the right offer. Eva has many years of experience in this area and is a great person to have on your team in this housing market. We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell! read more

I had a great experience working with Eva. She was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and attentive throughout both the selling and purchasing processes. If it weren't for her, I would have overlooked a critical red flag on a house I was about to purchase because the sellers did not disclose the information - she and her team were able to obtain important documents by directly going to the city and actually spent time reviewing them. She has an excellent team supporting her. All members of her team are very professional, friendly and moreover, take their jobs seriously while also having fun. I really felt like I was getting the white-glove treatment working with her and the team. I would highly recommend Eva to my friends and family. read more

Lin Realty Group is AMAZING! There are many important decisions that go into selling your home and the best decision my husband and I made was choosing Lin Realty Group to sell our Pasadena home. From day one, Eva and her team (shout-out to Angel, Grace, and Alyssa), made sure that every step of the way was stress-free and absolutely perfect. I have very high standards, and I could not think of one way that they could have been better to us. I've never felt more taken care of - not during my wedding, not even during the birth of my children! Eva and her team think of every detail and their white glove service never stops working for you. They are experts in the market, and they know exactly what buyers want. After a few small tweaks and improvements to our property, we were able to sell our home for 15 percent above what we were expecting. We had tried to sell this property previously and had failed. Eva made sure we had a great buyer who could perform, and she safe-guarded us throughout the sale, always making sure that our best interests were her first priority. Eva and her team are beyond patient, incredibly generous, and were always available when we needed them. If you have the opportunity to work with Eva Lin and her team, consider yourself lucky. I could search the entire world over and never find a better realty team than Lin Realty Group. They are THAT good! read more

"Wow!" That's the main thing that comes to mind when I think of my realtor, Eva Lin, and her team. She is 100% on top of her game and clearly has a passion for what she does. During the early stages of working with her, I was still having misgivings about whether buying a home was a sound financial decision for me. While you would expect most realtors to do everything possible to convince you that you should definitely buy property, Eva did the opposite! She told me that I should really weigh the pros and cons of becoming a homeowner and take another close look at my finances to make sure I was not going to being making a decision I would later regret. From that point on I knew Eva had my best interest at heart and didn't see me as just a walking dollar sign. Fast forward a few months, and I was 100% ready to buy a home. Eva and her team (especially Joe) were great! They helped me find properties that weren't even on the market, they were super prompt to respond whenever I had a question, and once I found the right place, Eva fought hard to have my offer accepted. We actually beat out other offers, partially because in my offer package, Eva and Joe painted a picture (figuratively, not literally) of me and my life story to the seller, which really resonated with him. Eva and the Lin Realty Group team exceeded my expectations many times over and I simply can't say enough good things about working with them! read more

Former first-time home buyer. It's hard to find a good deal in Southern California, but Eva was great help. She's very knowledgeable when it comes to what a good or bad deal is, and points out how specifics of a property will add to or detract from its value in the long run. The most important traits to me in a realtor are availability and responsiveness. I needed someone who could be flexible with scheduling to accommodate my work hours, as well as make sure to keep me up to date with new opportunities. Eva fit the bill perfectly. Eva is very thorough and detail-oriented, and an excellent communicator. I got lucky. read more

I would never even consider another realtor after having Eva represent my husband and I in both the sale of our condo and the purchase of our darling house. She is the shining example of what a realtor should be. She is strong, intelligent, professional, yet caring, understanding and compassionate during what is almost always a stressful situation. Her work ethic is unsurpassed. I sometimes wondered if she ever even slept. I cannot put into words our deep gratitude for all that Eva and her staff have done for us over the past year. You will NEVER find a better realtor than Eva Lin. read more

Eva earned our trust and respect with her professionalism and hard work, she didn't just get our house sold for more than we could dream of, I saw in her a true passion in helping people in the forever unpredictable housing market. She and her team elevated this profession to a different level, we were fortunate to have her as our realtor and I'm confident you will feel the same. read more

Without having experienced it, we never could have imagined such a warm, helpful, and smooth experience during our home sale. At first, we were nervous about going through this process. We have a young daughter and very demanding careers--the last thing we wanted was to have a stressful sale that took our attention away from what we truly care about. Thankfully, Eva Lin represented us as our listing agent in Pasadena and we were impressed beyond words. She is NOT your typical realtor. She listens, she cares, and she has tremendous expertise. She also knew exactly what we should do to get the result we were looking for. Her confidence and enthusiasm allowed us to rest easy, especially as she delivered on every single promise she made to us. We were equally impressed with Eva's support team. They took so much off our plate including things that we never would have expected (like facilitating every aspect of the preparation of the sale after we moved out, clearing out our garage, packing boxes, booking and coordinating contractors, etc.). It's clear that Eva's entire organization is designed for creating a world-class client experience. We feel SO fortunate to have found Eva! read more
