Selling a family home after 63+ years is incredibly emotional, and I knew I needed the right people…read moreto guide me through it. After my parents passed, I had to sell the home I grew up in in San Jose, CA. I interviewed several realtors but never felt the connection I was looking for. Then I found a flyer, did some research, and called Andy and Ben. From our first meeting I knew they were the right choice -- genuine, trustworthy, and compassionate. They didn't just list the house -- they managed the entire process from start to finish. They coordinated: Cleanup and preparation Repairs and construction work Landscaping and restoration of my mom's garden Contractors and scheduling A detailed timeline with constant updates They provided a clear plan showing exactly what would be done and when, and they stuck to it. There were no surprises and they kept me informed every step of the way. Even more impressive, there were no upfront costs -- everything was handled through escrow at closing, which removed a huge amount of stress during a difficult time. Because of their networking and local knowledge of the area, they found a direct buyer before the home even hit the market, and it sold at top dollar! Andy and Ben truly went above and beyond. They treated my parents' home with care and respect, even planting beautiful new flowers in my mother's garden. I'm incredibly grateful for how smoothly they handled such an emotional process. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who wants professionals that genuinely care and take full responsibility for the job. -- Joe R.

We sold our Mountain View townhome with Rainmaker Real Estate. Their in-depth knowledge of the…read moreMountain View, Los Altos, and adjacent towns was key in our selection of Rainmaker. Another factor in selecting Rainmaker was Yao Li's diligent preparation and planning of the pre-sale process. She is awesome! Leading up to the on-market listing, Alex was super clear and explicit on what will happen and how to prepare. He also provided thoughtful advice on what listing price to select in order to attract the most buyers. We were able to go on-market, do showings, send out disclosures, and request offers in no time. Alex's support extended to a great conversation on the pros/cons of each offer, which led us to being under contract very quickly. In the end, Rainmaker Real Estate was awesome to work with. Alex and Yao provided a great product with *ZERO* drama, which is what we wanted. We will use them again, if we are in the market to purchase something in the MTV/Los Altos area.

I couldn't believe all these stellar reviews about Mei when I was trying to choose realtor to sell…read moreour condo in Santa Clara. Because all the reviews were too good to be true. But now I am more than happy to write down review by myself after selling the condo in a week. When we first met Mei was make sure we understood the market, which was not good for seller. Also she suggested asking price based on the fact instead of using as a bait for the new clients. After passing the key she was taking care of the condo like hers. She has an excellent taste, great work ethic. Mei is very reliable and experienced professional. Her team to work for her was amazing as well including repair, construction, cleaning and staging people. When I stopped by after staging I was so shocked since the condo looked like celebrities' multimillion house. She chose color of the paint and granite countertop. She just took care of everything! For advertise she used all the medias I could think of. I was so impressed by how she described the best things about the condo and presented beautifully. After receiving offers her negotiating talent really showed. She texted me the updated offer way better than I expected. She was always available day and night if I needed to discuss with her. I have worked with quite a few agents so far and I can say Mei is the best without any hesitation. Thank you Mei

Mei was absolutely amazing, she made sure that everything was perfect, and stayed on top of every single detail of the closing. When the buyers were asking for extensions unnecessarily, she was more diligent than we were to make sure that it does not happen easily and endlessly. Every step of the way was smooth easy and headache free. This was especially important to me since I got cancer and was going through treatments. Mei got the best possible price with the least amount of headache, much higher than we expected. I highly recommend her and her entire team.

Twelve years later, here we are again with the Alex Aung Cupertino Real Estate Consultant team…read more In a world rushing toward AI for every answer, what stood out this time is something no algorithm can replicate: human judgment, patience, and care. Alex never once pushed us to make an offer. He did the opposite, asking quiet questions that helped us figure out what we actually needed in a home, and what we could live without. Yuchi made sure our finances were rock-solid before we wrote anything. She reminded us to budget for the nice-to-haves and steered us clear of money pits. Before submitting our offer, Alex walked us through the comps he'd prepared and, surprisingly, suggested we go in lower. In a moment when ceasefires get torn up every other week and the world feels uncertain, that lower number turned out to be exactly right. Behind the scenes, Alex paired our written offer with a strong verbal follow-through. We were shielded from the rest. Accepted as written. Two offers with Alex and Yuchi, 12 years apart. Both accepted on the first attempt. Yuchi is now voluntarily and unofficially project-managing our Sunnyvale home upgrade, taking time out of her schedule to visit stores and walk through options with us like it's her own place. Whether you're house hunting in the Bay Area, casually browsing, or just uncertain about whether now is the right time, reach out to Alex. You'll know right away you're in good hands.

We've both purchased and sold multiple properties with them all in Silicon Valley area and every time it has been nothing, but smooth experience and they exceeded our expectations. They are very experienced with entire Bay Area especially San Jose real estate market, which makes their expertise invaluable for us. We found that their incredibly detailed home price technical analysis report, prior to each offer we made is extremely useful and is very precise, unbiased, and well aligned with today's rapidly moving market and this ultimately guide us in securing our dream house confidently knowing we did not over bid more than needed to be in the game of bidding war in such a current competitive market. They also took their time to thoroughly review each inspection reports and disclosures with us, prior to each offer we make to make sure the property of interest has no hidden major repairs or red flags before proceeding with our offers . This again gives us great confidence in deciding whether to proceed with our offer or not. There were a few times they stopped us from proceeding further with offer due to costly foundation repair although the home is visually appealing on open house visit and other time with city's natural gas pipeline being too close to the back yard. There are many other incidences where their unbiased input was critical to our decision making on offer. They make sure that we as home buyer make the ultimate call on what price to offer with best of our interest. They work very transparently and truly have their client's interest at heart every step of the way in our home buying journey. From the get-go, they introduced us to a loan officer, proven track record of closing many home loans in a given time with best interest rate, from a competitive mortgage lender to get our pre-qualified loan approved, identifying our desired locations based on our family needs, help reviewing the reports and disclosures for red flags or negotiating and presenting relentlessly with seller on our offer to get it accepted in this multiple bid situations. What separate Alex Aung Cupertino Real Estate team from many other real agents in the Bay area is that they did not stop looking out for their clients right after the escrow is closed. When we needed to remodel our new house, they introduced us to their trusted and pool of resources, from their home builder network from structural engineer, licensed contractors, handymen, plumbers, heating/cooling electricians, painters and etc. They stepped-in and negotiated every quote for us. Just to make sure we are not getting ripped off and also get the best quality work for the amount money we needed to spend that give us ultimate peace of mind. Overall, we had great experience working with them every time. We will definitely go back and ask them to represent as our real estate agent next time whether home buying or selling comes along. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody.

I was remote and had a lot going…read moreon, so I needed someone who could take ownership of the process, reduce stress, and handle the details without constant prompting. Rabia did that exceptionally well. She coordinated the repairs, cleanup, staging, inspections, disclosures, open houses, and offer strategy with real discipline. Whenever an issue came up, she either had a clear recommendation or simply took care of it. That made the process feel much more manageable from a distance. What stood out most was how she handled a setback after our first buyer backed out. She stayed calm, kept the process moving, and helped us recover quickly rather than letting the situation become stressful or reactive. The final result was strong, with the home selling over asking. Just as important, Rabia made the process feel organized, professional, and low-drama. I would recommend her to anyone selling in Sunnyvale or the South Bay who wants an experienced agent with strong project-management skills and sound judgment.

We have nothing but praise for the work Rabia and her team did, and would not hesitate to recommend her to all our friends and neighbors.

Zaid is warm, friendly, and knows the market extremely well. We initially spoke with him before signing on with Real Estate 38, and as first-time home buyers, he really helped put our minds at ease and gave us the confidence we needed to navigate what was, at the time, the most expensive purchase of our lives. Shilpa, who we worked with more closely throughout both home purchases, is knowledgeable, responsive, and always looking out for her clients' best interests. At the same time, she's realistic and honest about the situation. She follows through on her commitments, stays on top of every detail, and is always on time and prepared.

My wife and I are first time home buyers and Manu was our realtor…read more We got our dream house with her but I'm going to try and be objective in this review. Manu has been in the business for a long time now. The connections she has came in clutch multiple times. We got a phenomenal interest rate through her contact, got really helpful escrow people, and had multiple instances of going to open houses and name-dropping her as our agent. People in the business recognize her. You have to understand what you get with Manu though. She played every single move the safest way it could be played. We didn't put multiple offers - only one house at a time. We had contingencies to protect our bids from bad evaluations. Even celebrating the closing was only Manu-approved after the loan was approved and the docs were signed. All of which I appreciate because I'm fairly risk averse. Manu's team is a powerhouse. She made every deadline with room to spare. She was also really good at dealing with my bad mood and stress (real estate is brutal). Although towards the end I think she was a little grateful to be done with us lol. Her MO is also to give you a customized portal in MLS for houses but full honesty, my wife and her house hunting doom scrolling probably found more houses. The house we ended up buying too didn't make it through the filters. She also only comes to open houses after you like them. So she's not going to spoon feed you everything but she makes those expectations pretty clear straight away. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that her advice was a big part of why we stepped up from looking at smaller townhouses to a single family home. No regrets there. Now one month into living at the new house, we did learn some things the hard way like home warranties are fairly useless, Yelp and Home Depot are your best friends, and if you call someone for a free inspection, they're honor bound to find something stupid for you to have to fix. So yeah again, you're not going to be spoonfed everything. So why 5 stars? I did get my dream house. And this whole experience was possibly the most stressful thing I've ever done in my life. Through it, Manu and her team were a good group of people to have in my corner.
