James and Nicole provided white glove service through the entirety of the process. They are the real estate equivalents of Goldman Sachs or McKinsey - highly strategic in their advice while also being exceptionally detail oriented and organized. All the while, they maintained a customer-centric approach that was both personal and professional. They understood our needs and were truly partners throughout the process - never married to a single approach, just the one that made sense for us. From start to finish across two transactions, there was never anything too big for them to handle or too small for them to address. We truly value their partnership, professionalism, and work product. Highly recommend to everyone - especially busy people with a high bar!

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 always felt I could go to either of them with questions and concerns. Through the years, we've stayed loosely in touch. Recently I asked Alex his thoughts on a second property, sharing my concerns and parameters.

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.

Their market analysis and selling strategy resulted in quick success. Julie also had good advice on what to invest in to get the best return on the investment in upgrades. Their crews took over, updated, and prepared the property for sale. We didn't need to get involved remotely. People who saw the house and the ad campaign commented on how well the house showed. It sold rapidly (super rapidly!) for more than our goal price. From moving out our stuff, to upgrades, to closing, was only 2 months start to finish. Peter and Julie have a unique ability to be both friendly and genuine, yet also tough negotiators. I felt they were really partners and were looking out for my interests throughout--including advising me on considering renting out the house--which would have earned them nothing. Amazing from beginning to end.

I 100% respect a person's family time but either fix the listed hours on review sites or send me to voicemail or lastly teach politeness to your employees, otherwise it leaves a sour taste in your mouth, doesn't it?

After move-in, we were a big stuck on what to do and how to get our home rented out. We connected with RentWise and they put us at ease. Everything moved so fast, from the moment we got off the call, things just started happened, photographers showed up and took professional pictures (after we had the place cleaned) and made a map layout of the property (got the files the that same evening). By the next morning, our home was already listed and advertised (i think it was 22 outlets that RentWise marketed the home to). Within 48 hours we had ~30 contacts. RentWise showed the home to 5 lovely couples/families that weekend and 3 qualified applicants for us to chose from a couple days after. All-in all, the process took a little over a week. I cannot believe how fast we got qualified applicants and a lease executed. They are worth every penny (it probably would've taken me a month) not to mention they got us 10% more than the top end of my expectation. My first experience with RentWise, will update the review if anything changes during the length of the relationship. Thank you again RentWise!

This was later confirmed by another flooring contractor-with 25 years of experience we had to come in to fix their mistake, who, incidentally, got the floor and finish to match perfectly at a fraction of the cost! Flaherty Bros. tried to pass this aberration off by saying "in time the UV sunlight from the patio window will lighten the stain." Added to that I found their phone manner and lack of professionalism disturbing. On one occasion when Kevin spoke to my mother, who owns the rental property, he abruptly hung up on her on the phone when she tried to explain the problem to him. Not good business in any circumstance. In the future, I suggest Yelpers look elsewhere for there residential construction and repair needs.
