As second-time home buyers, we felt extremely lucky to have Kevin & Sunil as our real estate…read moreagents. Both of them are knowledgeable professionals. With our very stringent must have lists for our home, Kevin was very patient and understood what we were looking for. He was always available to answer questions we had, help us analyze the property and even point out why something may or may not work for us based on what we were looking for. We appreciated that honestly and not being rushed in to putting an offer. In addition, both Kevin and Sunil guided us in various aspects like the inspections, post-purchase cost documentation, what we need to do etc. If you are in the market for purchasing a home, we would highly recommend Kevin and Sunil to represent you as your agents.

They have been phenomenal through the…read moreentire process, educating us on various parts of the process right from high-level things like property location to the nitty-gritty details on home construction. I highly recommend Sunil and Kevin to anyone looking to purchase a new home! As someone new to this process, they took the time and effort to walk us through the entire gig. Throughout the process not only did he educate us about the process but also managed to understand our preferences as home-buyers. He picked properties that matched our preferences and were in good neighborhoods. Sunil and Kevin took the effort to ensure that we were happy with the decisions made, fine-tuning preferences and did not shy away from giving unbiased opinions as mature experienced real-estate agents. Ultimately they were focussed on ensuring that we as home-buyers were happy at the end. While we had worked with other agents initially, once we started working with Sunil and Kevin, we immediately realized the difference in expertise, guidance and their focus on long-term customer satisfaction. The home buying process can be an anxious and long journey, especially if you are a new home-buyer, so being in good hands matters tremendously! They made the entire process seamless, hassle-free and most importantly - something that resulted in us being happy "home-owners" at the end.

Yvette Teng is the realtor you need! My spouse and I were looking for our first home together and…read morewere satisfied working with Yvette through this new adventure. We wanted a verified and authentic realtor that was reputable and found her! This review is not solicited; it is our honest review after four months of working with Yvette. BACKGROUND: - We were first-time home buyers in the Bay Area and needed a realtor with an experienced reputation. - We had a lot of questions and were very picky about finding a home; we did not want a house near a graveyard, school, and within earshot distance from a train. Yvette was very accommodating and patient with us in finding a home with these requirements and big-picture questions throughout the process. - We spent a few months touring homes with Yvette until we found one that met our standards and price range. - Yvette and her team helped us understand what was happening every step of the way. - This home purchase and escrow was completed before the National Association of Realtors July 2024 settlement on who pays buyer commissions. QUALITIES: - She had a high level of knowledge of the current housing market and the neighborhood we were interested in. - She frequently sent us great matches for what we were looking for. - She pointed out subtle things that we would have missed but were important for our decision process during home tours. - She was always flexible and available for home tours and phone calls. If she was not available for calls, she was very attentive through text messages. - She was strategic in setting and managing expectations on homes and the paperwork. - She was honest and transparent throughout the entire process. She treated the situation as if she were purchasing the property--she looked out for us and had our best interests in mind. - During the processes of the home search, bidding on homes, escrow and paperwork, moving into the home, and after moving into the home, Yvette was attentive and constantly checked in on us to ensure we were comfortable and informed. My family and I highly recommend Yvette Teng and her exceptional team. Home buying is incredibly stressful, but Yvette maintained a calm and confident mindset and kept our anxieties low. Her promptness, strategic mindset, positive energy, and knowledge of the market are why we will not hesitate to call Yvette when we are looking to buy again.

There's a reason Angelo and his team have 160 five star reviews (and counting). We worked with…read moreAngelo to find a SFH with some pretty specific requirements. Once we met him, we knew he'd be the perfect agent for our search given his decades of experience working in the Bay Area markets we were targeting. The best part of the whole experience is for us is that Angelo stayed in constant contact and was proactive with finding properties that met our somewhat strict requirements. Every day he would proactively send us new listings as soon as they came on the MLS, and he was instrumental in helping us write competitive offers on the few homes that we liked. In the end, with Angelo's guidance, we were able to beat out several other competing buyers to secure a home that checked all our boxes and was by far the nicest we'd come across in our months of searching. We feel incredibly lucky to have had him on our side from day 1 to the day we got the keys. I would (and will be) recommending to literally anyone who's looking to buy or sell property in the Bay to reach out to Angelo and his team first!
