Lihai was a joy to work with and an incredible partner in helping us purchase our new home. She guided us through what can often be a taxing and stressful process with so much thoughtfulness, ease and care, making everything feel smooth and manageable. She's also an exceptionally warm and responsive communicator who leads with a relational versus transactional approach, always making us feel genuinely cared for and advocated for. During the process Lihai really went above and beyond, connecting us with incredible people, from our pre-inspector during the search to designers even after we closed. Because of her support, we were freed up to focus on a smooth move and fully stepping into life and community in our new neighborhood. We truly can't recommend Lihai enough, especially if you're looking for a realtor who genuinely cares. read more

Lihai is amazing! I wasn't planning on getting a buyer agent when I was looking around to purchase a home but one of the sellers agent at an open house I attended recommended her. Lihai gave me a call in an hour and we had a nice conversation. We met the next day at some houses I was interested in seeing. She's very sweet and knowledgeable. When I wanted to make an offer on my now home, she was very quick to complete the offer and it was accepted. Throughout the process before closing date, she was very communicative and on top of everyone. She's super organized and nice. I'd totally have her as my agent in the future and would recommend her to all of my friends. We closed in 21 days. read more

Lihai and Andrew helped my partner and I find our very first home in Seattle! They both have complementary knowledge, are super friendly, upbeat, professional, fun and funny, and made the search easy and a blast! They really listened to our needs, are extremely organized, responsive, kind, used an easy to navigate search tool for listings, provided great suggestions for listing, provided us with numerous helpful referrals for other services we needed (mortgage lender, movers, repair person, home inspector), answered all our questions promptly, and took great care of us every step of the way! We felt spoiled working with TWO realtors for the price of one, and they went above and beyond to help us. They actively viewed listings for us before they hit the market and sent us videos, and even though we made an offer the day after Thanksgiving, Lihai & Andrew were responsive, and worked hard to make sure we had everything in place for a quick and efficient closing. They really care about finding the home that best matches with what you want and need, and we couldn't be happier with our townhouse! We not only found a wonderful first home, but are so thrilled to have them as our cherished friends! Thank you so much, Lihai & Andew! read more

Lihai was referred to us by a friend, and as aspiring new residents to the state, she showed flexibility as well as positivity in working with us from the first meeting all the way to finding our new home! She has deep knowledge and experience in the greater Seattle area and beyond, and with her tweaks to the search tool based on our fine tuning of our wishes, we found what we were looking for in only two visits to the region. She is also knowledgeable of local lenders, insurance agents, home inspectors and other handy people to help us settle in. She and her husband Andrew did all of this with a smile and good sense of humor, and we feel as if we not only found a great real estate agent but made new friends! read more

This is the 2nd house Lihai helped us to buy. She was our agent when we bought our first townhouse in Seattle in 2019. She was responsive, patient and knowledgeable. We trust her since then so asked her help us to buy another single family house on the eastside. The house hunting started 2021 when the market was extremely hot. Her responsiveness allowed us to check the houses we like asap and put early offers. Even we did win any bid, she still worked with us patiently and give us market updates. Finally, after one year and half, when the market cooled down, we moved in and bought the idea house at a price lower than Redfin and Zillow estimation. Lihai is professional. She provides good suggestions per our needs. The first townhouse was planned to be an interim residential and long term rental property. The one she helped us bought rented out one week in the market. The single family house is our long term primary residence. So she helped us got a good size, school district and quiet neighborhood. We are very happy with Lihai's helps. read more

I was so fortunate to have found Lihai as our realtor when I moved to Seattle. She helped me find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price, and always perform the due diligence to provide as much details about the property as possible before each visit. She was patient as I look at homes over a few months in order to find the right property, and always cautions me about things I need to watch out for during the visits and when I make offers. In short, she was always on my side working to make my house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Lihai was that she was always answering my questions timely and guiding me every step of the process in great details, giving good advices, and finding homes that met my needs than she was on closing a deal. I would recommend Lihai to anyone. read more

Working with Lihai to sell my home did not at all feel like a business transaction. She understands that this is not just a house, but your home and family that she is partnering with. She brought a personal touch with a friendly personality. She was very knowledgeable of the market, expectations, trends, and timelines. She brought all that along with her personal advice to the table. She allowed me to make all the final decisions based on her advice and my "likes". She first did her own walk-thru of the house and detailed out potential enhancements or upgrades for each room and the outside. Her style was impeccable, and the end results were awe inspiring, and I am not over stating that. She would send recommendations for paint color(s), lights, faucets, etc. After reviewing the list, she would help prioritize the best return on the items and then finalize what to do and not do. Next, she put together a plan to execute and had the target Listing date. It seemed like a lot to accomplish in such a short time, but we did not vary from the timeline. During the process, she would coordinate all contractors, and would provide contractors she has used or use contractors I had used in the past. Her contractors were all great, efficient, and very detailed. She would also monitor all the work daily to make sure it was completed successfully. She would also provide a daily update to me to make sure I was aware of what had been accomplished or any issues that may have popped up. She collected all 20+ offers the day of the review and documented and organized them for me to review. We then reviewed and discussed the top offers, and I made my decision. She provided insights into the positives and negatives for each offer to help with the decision-making process. She even helped to manage the whole closing process; making sure communication and the process was moving forward and on target. She went way above and beyond what any normal agent would do and was literally available 24/7. There was no way I could have prepared my house for sale, in the timeline she executed, and for the price we ended up getting without her dedication and expertise. I was living outside the country during the whole process and attribute everything to her for me being able to sell my house for the best value. I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a partner in selling their home. read more

We worked with Lihai for over two years before she helped us find and purchase our current home.

We have looked at properties across the Seattle area and she is always well informed and prepared for every visit. We are so happy to have gotten to know and work with her.

Lihai is a kind and dedicated professional. She has gone above and beyond during the whole process, from house hunting to closing. She was there all along the way to explain each step (I was a first time buyer), and I felt in good hands when closing came. I highly recommend her! read more

Lihai is an efficient, respectful, and gifted professional with amazing energy. Even though I was looking outside of Seattle, I felt her total focus. I had invested time in looking at properties through online research; but I could not make real progress in finding my new home. Soon after being introduced to Lihai, she created an efficient schedule with confirmed appointments, incorporating suggestions from my friends and from me, and had me out on the ground. As soon as I saw something that fit my budget and hopes, Lihai facilitated my experience through the whole process. She provided excellent referrals as needed, ensuring I had a good experience that extended to the lender, an inspector, and even to getting the locks changed after the purchase. I am sure she had other clients; yet, never did I feel any lag in her attention to me. At the same time, I never felt rushed or pressured. Lihai helped me navigate a process that is full of risks and that can be pretty stressful. I can freely and enthusiastically recommend Lihai as realtor and a guide. You won't be disappointed. read more

We highly recommend Lihai based on our excellent experience. She helped us buy our first house in Seattle area. We came to the new city with little knowledge about the community and market. Lihai is very knowledgeable about the market. She gave us a great orientation and recommended the properties per our location, floor plan, budget and timing requirements (which is pretty tight timeline). More important than anything else, she is always available, responsive, and patient. Whenever there was a new posting, Lihai sent the information through and worked around our schedule to look at the house ASAP, helped us analyze the data and compare different options. She also prepared our offer in evening to beat other potential buyers, which was very helpful to bid in Seattle hot housing market. Eventually we got the house that we absolutely love. We keep our relationship after the transaction. Recently she recommended lender for refinancing which leads to significant savings in monthly mortgage payment. Lihai is a reliable, trustworthy, professional agent, I highly recommend Lihai if you want to buy a house in Seattle. read more

Lihai helped us purchase our second house. We had broad requirements but were flexible on location. Because of that, our search required Lihai to take us to showings up and down the state of WA. Through the whole process and hundreds of miles, Lihai was very patient, and her impeccable organization helped ensure we were at the showings on time, and that we had all of the information to make informed offers. She came well prepared to each showing with a packet that gave us all of the details of nuances of the property (listing prices, comps, easements, permitting, and even geo surveys!). She also navigated us through complex negotiations and inspections, until we finally found our dream home! The process took us a few months and Lihai was an excellent partner every step of the way. I would highly recommend Lihai to anyone looking for an agent to help navigate through the journey of buying a property. read more

Lihai is solid professional with the deep passion to satisfy every need of clients. She has made stellar contributions in the successful purchase of our new house. We want to extend gratitude to her during the entire process of the purchase cycle and beyond. Her warmth, responsiveness, and result driven attitude are marks of an outstanding sales executive in the extremely competitive profession. Well done, Lihai. read more

Making a major purchase can be daunting and scary, even for real estate investors like us. Lihai came through for us again! We called Lihai again to helping us with a few more investment properties. She was like the best friend next door, always there supporting our real estate needs, whether answering a question I had at 7am or a thought on an area to search at 11pm. DING! sounded my phone, and it was Lihai answering my question, always so attentive! She helped us find the perfect house in a solid neighborhood. Lihai was patient as we searched up and down the I-5 corridor (from Olympia to Bellingham to Olympic Peninsula) and cautioned us about making unreasonable offers when we fell too quickly for overpriced homes. She also helped us navigate in the negotiations and the inspection process. It was definitely nice and useful having Lihai on our side, working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Lihai was that she was always there for us, she was more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than she was on closing a deal. Even after we closed, she continued to support us by connecting us with the right trades people. In short, we will buy again, and only with Lihai. We would highly recommend her to anyone! read more
