As first time home buyers, Mindy helped make a very confusing process much more clear. When looking at different properties, we really appreciated her honest answers about just how much work (and money) certain places would cost to repair vs. places that were more move in ready.

We worked with Mindy Yasuda, Jennie Lok and their team at Zen Coast Homes to buy our new home. Mindy is an exceptional real estate agent who exceeded our expectations in every way!

Mindy was very straightforward and honest. She gave us two options regarding the sale of our house. Option one was to put money into upgrading the house. Option 2 was to basically sell the house "as is". She gave us the pros and cons of each option. She also gave us a timeline for each option. We chose option 2 and sold the house for what we considered a very fair price. read more

We worked with Mindy Yasuda, Jennie Lok and their team at Zen Coast Homes and they are are amazing. We've worked with another realtor before and the comparison was just like night and day. Mindy and Jennie helped us both sell and buy. From the beginning I felt like we were in good hands.I really like how responsive she is as I feel like that is a necessary, crucial feature of a good realtor. We made the fixes to our home they recommended to maximize our value and were able to sell our home over asking price. They helped us set things up with getting quotes/bids so we didn't have to worry about it. You can tell Mindy has a lot of experience and knowledge with renovations, real estate and was integral in coordinating these projects for us. Buying our home was also a similar experience and they walked us through every disclosure on the homes we were interested in. It was nerve racking to go through the buying process here with all the competition and crazy Bay Area market but we ended up with a beautiful home. We are happy and very thankful to Mindy, Jennie, and Zen Coast Homes. 10/10 recommend, you can feel in a state of Zen knowing you're in good hands ! :) read more

Mindy has been a complete lifesaver and I cannot thank her enough for her help in finding tenants for my property. I was recommended by a friend to work with Mindy and off the bat Mindy was very knowledgeable, transparent, and timely throughout the whole process! She made everything seamless from explaining what to expect to posting the rental listings on multiple websites to screening and showing the home to the candidates. In less than a month, Mindy and her team found the perfect tenants for us! Finalizing the paperwork and meeting the family was done quickly and with ease. I also would like to point out Mindy's attention to detail. From keeping her word about updating us on the applicants to changing the lock box code on a weekly basis. Small details like this really make you feel like you're in great & trustworthy hands. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to purchase a home to work with Mindy! read more

Definitely very highly recommend both Mindy/Jennie and the entire Zen Coast team! read more

We can't believe we struck luck and got to work with Mindy Yasuda and Jennie Lok Zen Coast Real Estate team when we had to sell our home! It was during the holiday season (just one month ago in Nov!) which is a slow season in the real estate market, especially with the high interest rates. We just bought a house and needed to sell our home asap and expected it would sit on the market for a while. However, Mindy and her team got to work so quickly as we were packing and lined up all the essential contractors, inspectors, stagers, and photographer. By the time we moved out, she had her team working on the house at lightning speed. It was on live on the market in just 12 days! And after the first day it went live on MLS, we got a strong pre-emptive offer that was wayyy over asking and comps! We officially closed on this house yesterday. It is still surreal how quickly we were able to sell our home in a slow market and we couldn't have done it without Mindy. She is organized, communicative, resourceful and an astounding project manager. We did not have to do one single thing because of how well she took care of it all. Any issues that came up, she found a solution for it. Her ability to corral contractors to finish on time is a big feat! She is also very accommodating when we needed support getting rid of some furniture but were no longer at the house and helped us gather our packages that were accidentally shipped there. We wish we can give over 5 stars for her stellar customer service and competency as a realtor. We highly recommend Zen Coast Real Estate Team for buying and selling. They are proactive/resourceful, hardworking, ethical, and strategic; traits that you will need to succeed in this fast Bay Area market. Ask for Jennie Lok and Mindy Yasuda! read more

Mindy was instrumental in the sale of my house. She was always very responsive and thoughtful. I felt very at ease during the sale process because I know Mindy and her team had my best interest at heart and they are real professionals who take care of every small detail.

I highly recommend working with Mindy and Zen Coast Homes! read more

Mindy was wonderful to work with. She held our hands when we were selling our late mom's house. Mindy kept me informed every step of the way. She always answered my calls and made the process very easy. read more

I'm not a first-time homebuyer, so I know what to look for when choosing an agent. Since we planned to buy a single-family home, I wanted someone with strong knowledge of home remodeling and renovation. We interviewed several agents to assess their communication skills, familiarity with the local market, and understanding of home conditions. Among all of them, Mindy stood out as an exceptional agent. Once we entered into the contract, she proactively scheduled weekly check-ins to ensure everything stayed on track and helped us avoid potential delays. Anytime we had a question or concern, she responded and explained things promptly. Mindy is a pleasure to work with; when we discovered the seller hadn't cleaned the house as agreed in the contract, she stepped in to handle the communication and even covered the cost of cleaning for us. Out of the three agents I've worked with, both for buying and selling homes, Mindy is by far the best, and I would highly recommend her to anyone! read more

Our family found Mindy and the team and Zen Coast to help us sell our place and buy a new home all within the same month. We would give Mindy our highest recommendation and definitely come back to her if there is anything real estate related we need help with in the future. She was amazing at every aspect of the job that we needed from repairs to negotiating to communicating with every different party involved. If you're in the bay area interesting in buying or in selling real estate, we can't think of anybody better to ask for help. Thank you Mindy! read more

If we could give Mindy 100 stars, we would. During the house hunt process from start to finish, she was patient, understanding, informative, reliable, and truly the best realtor we worked with. She taught us all the in's and out's of what to look out for and ultimately landed us our dream home, as first time homebuyers. Especially post-COVID and during uncertain economic market changes she never gave up on us and even went above and beyond to do extensive research to get us answers to all our questions. We truly appreciate all you did for us, will highly recommend Mindy to all our family/friends, and we can't wait to work with you again! read more

Mindy has a keen and nuanced understanding of how things look visually and combines that with knowing what buyers in our location would want in a living space. I've worked with colors myself and I know how difficult that is, but Mindy honestly blew me away by the color choices and other design elements in what she was able to put together for us. She manages projects extremely well and will respond quickly to your questions. read more

Mindy was very professional. I never had to look for her, she consistently provided updates of the status of things. She asked for everything she needed one time and didn't keep coming back piecemeal looking for more, which anybody dealing with Real Estate knows is often the case. Thanks, Mindy! read more

I had a 5 star experience working with Mindy and her team to help me find my first home in San Jose. She has extensive knowledge of the Bay Area, so working with her was very seamless. I originally started my search in South San Jose thinking that would be my price limit, but Mindy was able to find me an Off Market Single Family Home for the same price in a great area of Cambrian in San Jose. I'm honestly shocked at the result of finding an amazing home and in an amazing area for a price I thought would never have been possible! I would absolutely recommend working with Mindy and her team for any of your real estate needs. Her team also works on educating and helping their clients invest in real estate out of California, so I'm very excited to start learning from them in this regard as well! read more

Mindy has helped tremendously in my search for a new home in Oakland. I was completely new to the whole housing market and Mindy was there throughout the whole process answering any questions I had. She is reliable, trustworthy and someone who can get the job done. I am fortunate enough to have found Mindy throughout this experience as she went above and beyond for me. I highly recommend Mindy to anyone who may require her services. read more

As an administrator of an estate, I had to sell a condo in Santa Cruz. Mindy and her team staged the condo very tastefully. Even in this very difficult economic situation with Covid-19, the condo sold very quickly and at above asking price even though numerous other condos came on the market at the very same time. The modern look of the staging is largely to credit for the quick sale. read more

As a first time home buyer I was already very nervous about the process, but luckily I had the pleasure of working together with Mindy who really helped keep me calm throughout the process.

With her help, I purchased a new development up in Sacramento and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thanks again to Mindy for the wonderful experience! read more

Mindy is extremely knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable during the home buying process. Our home needed some renovations and she guided us in the right direction through her strong relationships with the vendors we needed. We are grateful to have had Mindy by our side and look forward to having not only an agent we can trust and recommend but someone we now consider a friend. I highly recommend Mindy and her team to anyone considering buying in the Bay Area! read more

Working with Mindy and her team was absolutely amazing! I was tasked with selling my late grandmothers house in San Francisco that was built in the early 1900's and I was certainly lost on how to showcase and bring out the true potential of this house. My grandmother had bought and staged this house with furniture that had not moved for 50+ years, so it was difficult for me to envision any other layout than the one that was already there. With that said, I always felt that the rooms were small but little did I know it was all about the right furniture and the placement. Mindy added a new and modern look to this house and the results were like day and night. I would absolutely recommend anyone looking for home staging to go with Mindy and her team. This home ended up being titled as a "Hot Home" in the San Francisco area with multiple offers and I truly believe it was due to the staging that really brought out all the great aspects of this home. Mindy was honestly one of the driving forces behind this home selling in more ways than one. In fact she has always been for my team and business partners. I can honestly say that without her assistance my business would not exist at all today, she truly is committed to her work and driven by success. Words can not describe my gratefulness at times, thank you again Mindy! read more
