So, I actually found Mike through ChatGPT when I searched for top agents in the area, Mike came up first. After reading his reviews, I reached out, and from that very first call, he was exactly who he said he was: professional, kind, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. I had interviewed a few other agents, but knew Mike was the right person to work with based on his track record and his kind demeanor. Selling my first home was bittersweet, but Mike made the process feel steady and manageable. His communication is honestly next level, always responsive, proactive, and patient, especially when walking me through paperwork and answering my (many) questions. Even coming from a commercial real estate background, I can say residential is a different world, and Mike handled it all with ease. Mike is a great agent, someone you trust, and someone you want in your circle. He is 100% authentic and sincere. I highly recommend him, you will not regret working with Mike.

And I'm so glad we hit it off right away. Her expertise, taste and experience was crucial in helping us sell our home (closed in a month & over asking). Then we became buyers; she was patient with us the entire process, answered many frantic text messages filled with questions, crazy ideas and doubts. We trusted her the entire way, which meant we could rest easy during escrow. We have finally closed and are so excited about our new chapter. Grace may be excited to finally be rid of us after 1-year with us, but we will miss her! Thank you Grace!

I am incredibly happy to have had Mr. Chu support us through purchasing our first home…read more From the first communication we had, it was evident that he had OUR best interests. He was honest in his opinions about homes that we pursued- and would not let us settle for anything but the best home for us- which is what we finally bought... the BEST first home for my partner and I. He is knowledgeable about the home buying and selling process- and I honestly feel it was HIS responsiveness that ultimately convinced the seller to choose us as their buyers- even though we were not the highest bid! Not to mention, we feel he took on all of the difficulties associated with home buying and clearly simplified it for us to understand- we just had to sign. Mr. Chu has my highest recommendation as a realtor. We are forever indebted to him for his help through this process- and as we mentioned to him, he is now a part of our family. Thank you for helping us find and buy our first home Mr. Chu, our highest recommendation.

Before Eva, we retained a different well-known realtor to sell our house in Pasadena. It didn't go…read morewell, so we pivoted and gave Eva a shot. The difference was night and day. Eva was fully invested in our success and felt like a true partner. The advice she gave was well thought out and far more strategic. Communication was constant and thorough. Two weeks after Eva put our house back on the market, we accepted an offer at a price that hadn't seemed achievable before we hired her. A few issues came up with the buyer during escrow, but Eva was on top of it. She didn't let anything slide and didn't hesitate to fight for us. She fiercely protected our bottom line and wasn't afraid to push back hard when something threatened it. Obviously, we're beyond pleased with Eva and deeply grateful for her help. She's not out to just make a sale. She's interested in truly helping you, and that's a special thing.

Selling our home was a huge decision, and I took choosing the right real estate agent very seriously. I did a lot of research, interviewed multiple agents, and from the moment I met Eva, I knew she was the one I wanted representing us. Eva is truly exceptional. She is thoughtful, kind, incredibly professional, and an outstanding negotiator. She and her team guided us through every step of the process and made what could have been an incredibly stressful experience feel manageable. There were a few dicey moments during negotiations, and that is where Eva really shined. She knows exactly what to do when things get tough. She stayed calm, strategic, accessible, and always made us feel like she was completely in our corner. She went above and beyond for our family in ways I will never forget. What impressed me most is that Eva combines expertise and professionalism with genuine kindness. You never feel like you are just another transaction. She cares, she listens, and she works incredibly hard for her clients. I genuinely admire Eva, and I am so proud that we chose her to represent us. Looking back, I cannot imagine having gone through this process with anyone else. I would not even consider working with another agent. If you are looking for someone to sell your home, especially when the stakes are high and you need someone who can handle the tough moments, hire Eva. You will be very glad you did.

Her approach is always genuine and sincere and she's just fun to work with. She has a designer's eye and a massive talent for helping someone visualize the potential in something, always with an endless supply of good ideas on strategizing, renovating, decorating, you name it. She makes the whole process of buying a home bite-sized and not so daunting. And she has tons of referrals for lenders, contractors and pretty much anything, many of whom I've used and are all equally amazing in their own right. But it all starts with her. She knows her stuff and does everything at the highest level.

She's easy to work with and highly collaborative. She has a great support system around her which enables her to accommodate our circumstances (contractors, staging, escrow, etc). She laid out the proposal from start to finish and it's really impressive how on point it was. Where she really shines is her attention to detail from an interior design perspective to ensure your home draws the maximum amount of attention and opportunities. Throughout she was hands-on with checking in on the property, inspections, and giving me the rundown of each open house session. If you're looking to optimize your home buying or selling experience, I would highly recommend Alex. She has competitive commissions and it's definitely money well spent.

I first met Jerry's team hosting an Open House event a few months ago in the heart of the San…read moreGabriel Valley area. At the time I was getting ready to sell my house close by, so I wanted to see how the market was. The Open House experience was superb. I followed the house on Redfin and just a few days later the house became Under Contract, and then it was sold at a very good price. When it came to my time, I called Jerry up. He came fully prepared with everything. He provided me full market research, analysis, selling strategy, listing preparations, city compliance/clearance, and a full marketing plan. Everything was well-thought out. Right after the listing, Jerry hosted an Open House event. We received a number of very good offers. Jerry was excellent in the offer selection and the negotiation with buyers. Within just a month, the sale was successfully closed with a very good price. Jerry is sharp, driven, knowledgeable, and transparent. I'd highly recommend Jerry to anyone who needs expert help in Real Estate. He has everything that you need.

He was also generous in connecting us with trusted vendors before we even signed a listing agreement, which gave us the flexibility to decide whether to sell or rent during a slower market. His marketing package was comprehensive, including a professional website, aerials, videos, 2D and 3D floor plans, bilingual marketing materials, and even included professional cleaning. Everything was coordinated in a timely manner to prepare for Coming Soon, Listing, and Open House weekend. Jerry also hired wonderful people. Mandy, his marketing assistant, was friendly and incredibly easy to work with. She had a great eye for showcasing our home and was speedy and attentive with all the detailed edits on the website, descriptions, photos, and flyers. Photographer Michael captured the house beautifully with a variety of angles and brilliant lighting, and Justina went above and beyond in cleaning the house, windows, and garage. In addition to his team, it's obvious that Jerry has solid working relationships with his recommended vendors. Everyone gave the impression that they would treat Jerry's clients well with proper attention, fair pricing, and diligent work to present our home well. Yumi created a thoughtful mood board that helped us visualize how the staging would look. She was generous in sharing design advice and honest about what would and wouldn't work, even for areas we planned to decorate ourselves. Mr. Zhuo rearranged his schedule to make sure everything was finished in time and done in a quality manner knowing Jerry's professional standards. He was very responsive, humble, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable. All the preparations paid off when multiple offers came in. Jerry walked us through multiple strategies, shared his recommendations, and was flexible in going with what we were most comfortable with. Near the finish line, Jerry took the initiative to come up with a solution that got buy-in from all parties and sealed the deal before the weekend. We greatly appreciate him for that! Jerry's support went beyond what's expected of a real estate agent. Throughout the process, he helped check on our house and even brought quality food to feed our neighborhood cat. We are truly grateful for that, especially knowing how busy he was. It speaks to Jerry's kind character, which makes him even more nice to work with.

Even though I'm still in the preparation stage, the meeting was very helpful.

As a result, he was able to position the building in front of the right audience, helping them see its true value.

However, something was very obviously and immediately different about Laura that we hadn't seen. You can tell that she really loves what she does and is passionate about the process. I was impressed by her compassion towards us, her care and attention to the property and her sellers and even having an extra event and inviting the neighbors. Who does that? Anyone would be lucky to work with her and I would definitely recommend her.

The Berns team was a dream to work with on our condo sale. From the very start, Jason and Laura…read moreBerns immediately stood out to us for their professionalism, responsiveness, and well thought out plan about how they would sell our property. They also reacted to us touring them around our unit in real time, and I felt more confident as they were honest with what they would do or change from the outset, rather than saying what they thought I might want to hear. They have deep expertise, selling over 100 properties a year, so they have a very good beat on the current market and what works to sell your home to meet your goals (in our case, we hoped to reach a certain price quickly because we already had plans to move out). The team is deep and goes beyond just Jason and Laura. They have several other team members that specialize in different services, as well. We interacted with Alex and Mike who helped us ready our property for the open houses, and were always available to answer questions. If you wish, they will also put together a "transformation contract" where they will pay up front for work to be done to the property (e.g., painting, handyman jobs, staging) and then will take their payment out of escrow after the property sells. Also, the team does not take any percentage of those quotes - all the money goes to the contractors. To me, this not only reflected their confidence in their ability to sell the property, but also was just genuinely helpful from a cash flow perspective, while also supporting local contractors. We went this route, and it was quite amazing, as they managed everything from scheduling, to letting people in the house, payment, etc. It was a seamless process. Then when once we got an offer, their transaction manager, Alma, was super helpful in answering all of our questions about the closing process. I was initially a little concerned after we signed to work with them and I saw all the other properties they were currently selling as pretty much all of them were substantially more expensive than our property as they were luxury single family homes. In other words, I was worried we could be seen as lower priority because we wouldn't make them nearly as much money as sales of these other properties. However, not once during the entire process did I feel that way in practice. Our questions and concerns were always responded to immediately, and above and beyond what I expected. I had a fair bit of anxiety during the process as it was the first time we had sold a property, but Laura was there to sooth my anxieties and help me through every stage of the process. Jason, Laura and the entire team are not only pros, but just great and kind people. I cannot think of any feedback I would provide in a constructive manner as we were very happy, well informed throughout the whole process and ended up with a result we were very happy with. I would absolutely work with the Berns team again and recommend them whole heartedly.
