Lu Ye made our home happen. First time home-buyers, we took a few pauses in our search as we navigated our "rent or own?" internal debate. But when we were finally ready to search in earnest (Summer 2020), Lu was right there with us. Even though we had not worked with her for a year, Lu remembered all the particulars of our family and our needs. She has an excellent sense of the market and the nuances of pricing and location. As we looked at each listing, we came to understand more about ourselves, our wants, and needs. Lu asked great questions, really listened to us, and adjusted her search criteria multiple times to accommodate our evolving "must haves" list. Lu helped us safely search during the pandemic! We found an awesome little house in Culver City, and when we were ready to make an offer, Lu and her team were with us every step of the way. As this was our first time buying, she did a great job educating us about each step and keeping us on track to close successfully. She deftly arranged for inspections (general, roof, sewer line, electric), and helped negotiate a price we felt great about. On top of all of that, Lu is a delightful human being (and a classically trained pianist and composer!). She was always quick to respond to our questions and ideas, and was easy to get ahold of by text, phone, or email. I highly recommend Lu! (Word to the wise: at the holidays she hand-delivers a special baked treat to her customers!) She's the real deal. read more

Lu Ye Real Estate - Backyard of our home purchase. Lu suggested we take a first (and second!) look at this place. We're so happy we did. - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I had a great experience working with Lu! I'm a first time home buyer and knew very little going into the process of buying a condo. I found Lu kind of randomly but I'm really glad I did because she made the process easy. I never thought I would find a place that I wanted to live in in Santa Monica four blocks from the beach at the price point I was looking for, but she helped me find my perfect home and I closed a month and a half after we started talking. She lead me through each step and was always responsive answering all of my questions as they came up. I felt like she was looking out for me - I trusted her to make sure all the necessary inspections were done and she made sure everything that needed to be fixed was taken care of and requested repairs for me. I would definitely recommend her if you're looking for a real estate agent. read more

Lu is just amazing! She knows the ins and outs of the purchasing process. She was always there to help us through every step of the way, with thorough information, lots of feedback and follow up, and an excellent attentiveness to the details. Making a big purchase can be stressful and daunting, but she assuaged our fears and trepidations many times with her knowledge, experience, and confidence. She also has a bevy of references and resources that was amazingly helpful for us first time home buyers. Anytime we needed someone, loan broker, inspector, etc she knew who to call and all of her references were outstanding. Lu is definitely the agent you want on your team. She even can turn on the negotiating skills as needed, in our case we were able to retain all of the lighting fixtures, and she negotiated money for repairs. Her team, especially Steve were amazing at ever stage as well. You really feel like you have full support. In addition, she really cares about her clients and lets you know it even after all things are said and done. I cannot recommend her enough. Don't look any further, you've found your agent! read more

Lu is a fantastic agent. She understands what the client is looking for, how to help make the home a possibility, and made a potentially tricky process a smooth one. She looks out for her clients and is always available for them. Thanks Lu! read more

We were introduced to Lu via a friend, and we had a great experience buying our first home with her. She made the entire process stress free, promptly dealing with any questions we had and dealing with any problems that arose. Within 6 weeks of first meeting her we closed on our very first home! Would highly recommend using her services to anyone! read more

Lu was able to guide me-- a total know-nothing--through the home buying process and made everything as streamlined and easy as possible. She really took the time to help me understand the steps and considerations, and was always available to answer questions or concerns. She was also a very strong advocate and helped negotiate terms of close including repairs funded by seller. Thanks so much for your expertise and patience! read more

When we were looking for an agent to rent our apartment, Lu was highly recommended to us through a friend. Lu seemed highly experienced, professional, to the point. She told us what we needed to get things going. The turnaround time for the document revisions was swift, and our listing was up with great pictures from her team. Lu gave us advice on the tenants that we need, and we really appreciated her on being receptive on our needs. She was not pushy on applicants that looks good, but might not fit us in the long run. We were patient, and we found tenants in 3 weeks as promised without dropping the rental price. We referred her to my colleagues, and would love to work with her in the futures. read more

I would recommend her to anyone and will continue reaching out to her with my real estate needs. read more

This review is not my typical review. For those of you reading here for the "Panochey experience" please temper your expectations, er..., pieholes. I went to Lu Ye with the sale of my house. Although it was too far out of her area, she connected me to the very best realtor in my area. Subsequently, we were able to close at asking price within 90 days of listing. Even though she had no "dog in the hunt", Lu Ye kept up with me and we became good friends. She is talented, musical, intelligent, articulate and extremely thoughtful. Lu Ye excels at all she does. She is a good daughter and a source of pride to her mother. I cannot recommend Lu Ye enough! I would strongly recommend you let her excel for you! read more

Lu helped me purchase my first home. She had great communication and was on top of everything throughout the whole process.

It was a pleasure to work with Lu Ye. A very sharp and proactive realtor, who provided us with a lot of time and dedication to ensure we got the right house in the right neighborhood at the right price and not just any house to buy quickly. It took several houses and neighborhoods to go around looking at the good and the bad and we didn't get the pressure with her to get a home which wasn't the right one for us. She always was trying to be sure that we were buying "our house". Once she found the house for us, she knew that we needed to move quickly but made sure to not make us feel pressured. We knew this was the house and neighborhood for us, and we moved on an offer quickly with Lu's help and guidance! After the acceptance (which was turned around in record time) Lu took care of every single detail with the seller's Realtor to complete all paperwork, inspections and any requests to the sellers. We are enjoying our house and we have only a big thanks to her because she was on our side at all times and we got "our house". read more

I highly recommend Lu with no hesitation. read more
