They are very pleased with her during the whole process. She is very knowledgeable and honest. She didn't pressure them into buying just any home so she can get the commission. She listened and guided them every step of the way. She's always available for phone calls, texts and meet. I would definitely recommend her ! read more

Julia is the best agent ever! Let me support that with some evidence. We were in search of a house close to our graduate school and needed quick turnaround time. Not only did Julia manage to secure us several open house appointments, but through her diligent communication and timeliness, we were able to secure the house of our dreams! Since we were new to real estate, her expertise and continuous curiosity was very reassuring because it meant we were getting answers to questions we didn't know we needed. I recommend her for first-time home buyers, those looking for a good investment, and anyone looking for an agent who gets things done. read more

Julia did an outstanding job in helping us look for a home. From the very beginning, she got a good feel for what we were looking for and was able to point us to potential bid-worthy houses. She listened to what we liked and didn't like about the houses and even more importantly, steered us away from potentially bad purchases and potential pitfalls that we could not have spotted. She was never pushy or desperate to sell us the wrong house and was willing to take as long as we needed. Surprisingly, we found a house far sooner than we were anticipating and Julia was just as reliable throughout the closing process as well, answering all of our questions and giving us good advice. Julia was great about following up with our loan officer and the escrow company to push us through the escrow process and didn't falter once. Even afterwards, she pointed us to contractors she knows and works with in order for us to continue on with remodeling as well. Overall, I highly recommend Julia Zhao if you're looking to buy a home in the SGV area. With he knowledge of the local market, her contacts, and her experience in the industry I cannot recommend her enough. read more

Five stars. I would recommend Julia to anyone needing an agent/realtor in the area. I am not from the area, and I turned to Julia to help me sell a home as part of a trust/estate sale. She was a tremendous help in doing this, and was kind, helpful, forward thinking and just plain amazing through the process. In our initial meeting she provided me with comps, took a look around the place and gave me a good assessment of what to expect. She was able to help with updates to the home, to help it sell well. She was able to get quotes from multiple contractors, and schedule the work. She also arranged for cleaning, appliance repair, staging, photos and open house. We got many offers after the open house weekend and she along with her team helped navigate through the differences in offers and contingencies. She even did some checking on the offers by talking with the lenders backing the offers. Ultimately Escrow was quite smooth. She did a great job for an out-of-town seller. read more

Julia is the best agent I have worked with, and I have bought and sold a few houses over the past several decades. She provided sound advice due to her knowledge of the area during the listing phase. She was clearly more knowledgeable than the other agents we interviewed and so we listed with Julia. Her pricing of our property was on target, attracting a flurry of activity resulted in several offers in the first week. Julia organized the offers in a table showing us the highlights of the offers so we didn't have to sort through everything. We found this very helpful plus she verbally went through them late at night. When we chose the strongest offers she was right there, reviewing details with us late at night again. During the Escrow phase, everything went smoothly and she was there every step of the way, always communicating status and handling everything with us directly. She worked the transaction personally and did so tirelessly. In summary, I highly recommend Julia as the top agent I have ever worked with. read more

Julia is the best agent my husband and I have ever worked with. We were looking to purchase a second home, and initially went with Redfin since it was easy to book tours. After a couple months of losing over a dozen offers in the hottest market of all time, we were at our wits end, until we met Julia. We started working with Julia at an open house and I don't regret dropping Redfin at all. Julia was so helpful and knowledgeable about the area and market which made us more confident in our buying abilities. She helped us make on offer on the house and gave us excellent advice during the negotiations/counter offer. We loved the house so much that we were willing to offer our max, but Julia assured us that we might be able to get the house under our budget! Finally, after dozens of offers, we were accepted thanks to Julia. With Julia's help, we were able to purchase the home under our budget! The entire process was so smooth and easy; Julia answered all of our questions and addressed all our concerns. She's quick at responding text messages, phone calls, and emails. We highly recommend Julia for your next house purchase! read more

We've worked with other realtors before, but no one like Julia. I can't say enough about her! We were looking to buy during one of the hottest seller's markets in years. Not much inventory available, and prices were very inflated. In this over-heated market, entered Julia. She helped us pick houses to view that we never would have considered, and prevented us from wasting time on houses we thought were good. Any that we all agreed on, we were able to see within a few days of when they were put on the market. We put in a few offers here and there, but with Julia's advice never over-bid. With several of the houses, Julia knew the seller's realtor due to her extensive network, and was able to get extra info or advice. Finally, we found the best house yet. And it turned out Julia had worked with the seller's realtor for years! Mainly due to this connection, she was able to convince the sellers we would be the easiest buyers, and they picked us! We love our new house! Thank you so much Julia! read more

I was referred to Julia by a friend, and from the start, she was the consummate professional. She listened to what I wanted, set realistic expectations for me. Every time I identified a house I was interested in, she would check it out for me first, and tell me honestly the pros and cons of the house. She is very experienced, and knowledgeable. I knew I could count on her for an honest assessment. I never got the feeling she was pushing me towards a quick sale, but rather she was vested in finding me the perfect home for me. I would recommend anybody looking to buy or sell a home in San Marino to Julia Zhao. She is really one of the very best agents, anywhere. read more

Julia helped me find and purchase a condo in Alhambra at the end of 2021. Julia is not someone who pushes client to buy a property for the only sake of earning commission. She truly wants to find the perfect home for her buyers. Every time we viewed a property, she thoroughly and honestly analyzed both pros and cons of the property. She was also very accessible, effective and efficient when it comes to all real estate related matters. She was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also patient and warm. I felt that she was like the older sister I never had, guiding me through the entire purchase process. Double thumbs up for her! Will recommend her to my family and friends. read more

Julia is the BEST agent without a doubt! I'd recommend her to all of my family members & friends. She's extremely knowledgeable about the market and was very patient with us. She's the type of agent who really cares about you getting a good home and listens to your needs. Julia also has an exclusive network which helped us in this buying process too. For example, she introduced one of the best lenders in town to us who provided excellent service. She also knows many other listing agents and utilizes her connections with them to aid in winning the offer for buyers. We were first time home buyers and not familiar with the buying process, Julia basically hand held our hand to walk through each step and explained in details to us what was going on. She always made sure to get back to us when we had questions in a timely manner. In today's heated seller's market, we were looking to buy a decent home with limited resources. Julia not only helped us to find the ideal home but also helped us to stand out as one of the top bidders without over-bidding too much using the correct strategies. Even better, she also negotiated with the sellers to install a new AC/heating system for us since the old system was not working. We didn't have much hope of winning the bidding war but Julia made it happen :) Overall, Julia is professional, trustworthy, resourceful, and hard working agent who cares and understands her clients' needs. We are happy about our new home and it all thanks to Julia! read more

When it was time to sell our house (rental property), we knew that we were going to use Julia's services... we'd seen her sell a few houses in the area quite quickly. We were very happy with Julia: -she seems to be very knowledgeable, which is great since it was the first time we were selling a house -she is very easy to reach, and keeps in touch via phone, email and/ or text (which is great for me since I prefer to text) -we didn't feel any pressure at all to accept a low offer. It definitely seem that she was willing to wait until we got the right price (as opposed to some agents who just want to get the commission asap) -our buyer was quite difficult (they tried to reduce the price significantly after we accepted their offer), and Julia constantly kept us up to date as she communicated with their agent -great marketing skills! Her flyer was very professional and looked great. She speaks on the Chinese radio station and was able to advertise the house. We had over 50 people visit our open house -she was able to organize a painter/ handyman to help out, and made sure that he gave us a reasonable price -since we lived pretty far away (the house we were selling was an investment property), she took care of almost everything, like meeting with contractors, so we rarely had to drive out to the house. She even watered the plants!! -she was able to organize a stager for the house (stager charges an additional fee) -most importantly, she helped sell the house FAST I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Julia and her team are great! They are on top of everything and keep me updated every step of the way. Julia is a pleasure to work with.

We use Julia's service as a buyer agent for our first home in Los Angeles. Julia is very knowledgeable, she guided us from the very beginning till close the deal. She has been very patient and informative. She gave us professional options on the pros and cons of each house we inspected. Some times she even insists on giving up house as she though finding the right one is more important than commissions. If you want someone responsible and professional, Julia will be the one. P.S. Latter on we found out that she is REMAX global TOP 1% elite agent. read more

When it was time to sell my house, I interviewed three agents from the area before selecting Julia. I had been aware of Julia from years of her local marketing in the area. Julia was the absolute best possible choice! Julia keeps in constant communication via phone, email and/ or text. She was clear that it was important for my house to be in great shape before she put it on the market and helped me get it that way. She was able to organize a painter/ handyman to help out, and made sure that he gave me a reasonable price for the work to be done. She also organized staging for the house. All of these details paid off handsomely! Once the house was ready, Julia displayed great marketing skills! Her flyer was very professional and looked great. She uses a great photographer who took wonderful shots for the flyer and online listings. She speaks on the Chinese radio station and was able to advertise the house. Over 200 people came over one weekend to the only open house that was needed to sell my home. I had almost two dozen offers! Julia was pleasant, committed, hard-working, communicative, professional, respectful and helpful. I recommend her services without any reservation whatsoever! read more

Our family purchased multiple properties through Julia in the past 10+ year.

She performed beyond our expectations. She is honest and caring like a good friend. We will certainly go to her for all our future real estate needs! read more

Julia is without a doubt one of the best real estate agents out there. I have used her for 3 transactions and she has represented me as both the buyer's agent and seller's agent. As a buyer's agent, she helped me successfully navigate purchasing a property subject to a short sale. The negotiations went smoothly and escrow closed relatively quickly. She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience. As a seller's agent, she really knows how to get top dollar for your property. If you want many bidders and a bidding war shortly after listing, just listen to Julia! She understands the market and how to price a house to sell quickly and for top dollar. She got me far more than I was hoping for and did so efficiently. I would highly recommend her for your real estate transactions. I know I will definitely be using her for all future transactions. read more

There is one word for describing Julia : OUTSTANDING. She was wonderful in every way to work with. She was my listing agent for an older townhouse. Among all the great she did: - she was very pleasant to work with - we had a bidding war and received 18 offers. The highest (and strong) offer was $47,000.00 over listing price - turned out the house has numerous serious problems I was not aware of, and even with these problems, we still sold the house to the initial offering buyer at $20000 above listing price. Julia was very diligent, patient, resilient, calm, and stay positive through the whole process. -she is very knowledgeable and explained everything well -she is always available, both by cell-phone and email, and kept me up to date with every development - she has outstanding marketing program and we had over 70 groups came to our open house - she negotiated great price for repair, remodeling, and staging of the house and has outstanding results - I lived far away, and she took care of everything, even cleaning the house after my parents moved out - she consulted me for every decision and at the same time, since I asked her to, she was able to made perfect decision on everything from choosing buyer to minor details (like color of cabinets). I interviewed 6 agents for selling this townhouse and I am so grateful chose Julia. read more

Julia was the listing agent for our duplex in Alhambra. She managed the listing, preparation, showing, selling and escrow closing masterfully. She recommended repair, cleaning, upgrade and staging before the listing was made public. There were many visits for viewing the property and we received multiple offers. Through bidding we had a final offer exceeding the listing prices. Throughout the process, she had to manage all eight owners to make sure that all the documents were completed correctly to effect a timely closing of escrow in mere 5 weeks. She is a top-notch broker-agent, knowledgeable, courteous, efficient, professional and have that unique can-do attitude. I would call on her to manger any real estate transactions. read more

Julia is so helpful when I encounter different types of problems. She is really patient and able to organize every single details on the my properties. It is really great to have Julia's service. read more

We chose Julia because we felt she had the right marketing strategy, and it certainly panned out. From listing to close of escrow was about 5 weeks, with a final sale price and conditions that we were happy with. She gave expert advice throughout the process: how to present our house, evaluate offers, counter, and all the things that came up during escrow. Julia definitely knows her stuff, as you can see by her many glowing reviews and awards. She's highly responsive, personable and professional. She is also very hard working, and was willing to meet us during evenings and weekends to fit our busy schedule. Do bear in mind that sometimes she can be working with many clients, so we found that on occasion her attention to detail wasn't as outstanding as the rest of her skills, but this did not cause any major issues- just carefully check all the forms you sign, as you should do anyway! We would certainly hire Julia for our real estate needs in the future, and we are thankful for finding such a great realtor! read more
