I first met Jerry's team hosting an Open House event a few months ago in the heart of the San…read moreGabriel Valley area. At the time I was getting ready to sell my house close by, so I wanted to see how the market was. The Open House experience was superb. I followed the house on Redfin and just a few days later the house became Under Contract, and then it was sold at a very good price. When it came to my time, I called Jerry up. He came fully prepared with everything. He provided me full market research, analysis, selling strategy, listing preparations, city compliance/clearance, and a full marketing plan. Everything was well-thought out. Right after the listing, Jerry hosted an Open House event. We received a number of very good offers. Jerry was excellent in the offer selection and the negotiation with buyers. Within just a month, the sale was successfully closed with a very good price. Jerry is sharp, driven, knowledgeable, and transparent. I'd highly recommend Jerry to anyone who needs expert help in Real Estate. He has everything that you need.

He was also generous in connecting us with trusted vendors before we even signed a listing agreement, which gave us the flexibility to decide whether to sell or rent during a slower market. His marketing package was comprehensive, including a professional website, aerials, videos, 2D and 3D floor plans, bilingual marketing materials, and even included professional cleaning. Everything was coordinated in a timely manner to prepare for Coming Soon, Listing, and Open House weekend. Jerry also hired wonderful people. Mandy, his marketing assistant, was friendly and incredibly easy to work with. She had a great eye for showcasing our home and was speedy and attentive with all the detailed edits on the website, descriptions, photos, and flyers. Photographer Michael captured the house beautifully with a variety of angles and brilliant lighting, and Justina went above and beyond in cleaning the house, windows, and garage. In addition to his team, it's obvious that Jerry has solid working relationships with his recommended vendors. Everyone gave the impression that they would treat Jerry's clients well with proper attention, fair pricing, and diligent work to present our home well. Yumi created a thoughtful mood board that helped us visualize how the staging would look. She was generous in sharing design advice and honest about what would and wouldn't work, even for areas we planned to decorate ourselves. Mr. Zhuo rearranged his schedule to make sure everything was finished in time and done in a quality manner knowing Jerry's professional standards. He was very responsive, humble, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable. All the preparations paid off when multiple offers came in. Jerry walked us through multiple strategies, shared his recommendations, and was flexible in going with what we were most comfortable with. Near the finish line, Jerry took the initiative to come up with a solution that got buy-in from all parties and sealed the deal before the weekend. We greatly appreciate him for that! Jerry's support went beyond what's expected of a real estate agent. Throughout the process, he helped check on our house and even brought quality food to feed our neighborhood cat. We are truly grateful for that, especially knowing how busy he was. It speaks to Jerry's kind character, which makes him even more nice to work with.

And I'm so glad we hit it off right away. Her expertise, taste and experience was crucial in helping us sell our home (closed in a month & over asking). Then we became buyers; she was patient with us the entire process, answered many frantic text messages filled with questions, crazy ideas and doubts. We trusted her the entire way, which meant we could rest easy during escrow. We have finally closed and are so excited about our new chapter. Grace may be excited to finally be rid of us after 1-year with us, but we will miss her! Thank you Grace!

From the…read morebeginning, it was clear how knowledgeable she is and how well she knows the San Gabriel Valley neighborhoods. Her insight and guidance were so helpful in narrowing down the right area and finding a home that truly felt like the right fit for us. Throughout the entire process, Grace was professional, thoughtful, and incredibly supportive. She gave us solid advice at every stage and made what could have been a very stressful experience feel much more manageable. She's also a strong negotiator and always made us feel like she was looking out for our best interests. Would absolutely recommend Grace to anyone buying or selling in the San Gabriel Valley.

We spent a few years looking for a house with another agent before switching to Angel and the team…read moreat Eva Lin Realty. We kept running into them at open houses in the neighborhood, and after making the switch, we found our first family home within about six months. What we appreciated most was that Angel never pressured us to make an offer. In fact, when one seller was pushing us to move quickly, she kept encouraging us to slow down and finish our inspections. We're so glad we listened. The inspections uncovered major issues, and we walked away from what would have been a very expensive mistake. When we found the right house, Angel helped us secure it in a very competitive neighborhood. Angel knew the market well, always kept our priorities in mind, and was incredibly responsive. David was with us through long inspection days, and Kris and Parker made closing and everything afterward feel seamless. Thank you so much Angel and the whole Eva Lin Realty team! We are already recommending them to family and friends!

She's knowledgeable, communicative, and completely transparent in making us aware of the extremely complex nature of buying a house. Having her guidance was invaluable. We had been looking for almost 2 years once we started working with Angel, and ended up finding a house super quickly due to her expertise. During escrow, the concierge team has been a really great surprise. They helped set up utilities, connected us with vendors to work on our new house, and every time we got a little gift or package from them we just felt acknowledged and taken care of. We highly recommend using Eva Lin's group!

She's easy to work with and highly collaborative. She has a great support system around her which enables her to accommodate our circumstances (contractors, staging, escrow, etc). She laid out the proposal from start to finish and it's really impressive how on point it was. Where she really shines is her attention to detail from an interior design perspective to ensure your home draws the maximum amount of attention and opportunities. Throughout she was hands-on with checking in on the property, inspections, and giving me the rundown of each open house session. If you're looking to optimize your home buying or selling experience, I would highly recommend Alex. She has competitive commissions and it's definitely money well spent.

She explained the offering process in detail, walked me thru all the paperwork and made sure I understood everything, and I always felt like she had my best interests at heart. She wasn't just my realtor, she honestly felt like my therapist at times lol, and helped me stay grounded when the emotional ups and downs of the search got overwhelming. I can't imagine going through this experience without her, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Alex to anyone looking to buy a home, especially first-time buyers who need someone they can truly trust!

So, I actually found Mike through ChatGPT when I searched for top agents in the area, Mike came up first. After reading his reviews, I reached out, and from that very first call, he was exactly who he said he was: professional, kind, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. I had interviewed a few other agents, but knew Mike was the right person to work with based on his track record and his kind demeanor. Selling my first home was bittersweet, but Mike made the process feel steady and manageable. His communication is honestly next level, always responsive, proactive, and patient, especially when walking me through paperwork and answering my (many) questions. Even coming from a commercial real estate background, I can say residential is a different world, and Mike handled it all with ease. Mike is a great agent, someone you trust, and someone you want in your circle. He is 100% authentic and sincere. I highly recommend him, you will not regret working with Mike.

Selling a property from out of state can be incredibly daunting, but Tiffany made the entire process seamless. Her expertise in the local market was evident immediately, and she provided invaluable guidance on pricing and preparation. Tiffany went above and beyond by providing us with a list of vetted contractor contacts long before I officially signed with her, which gave me the confidence to handle necessary repairs early on. When complex issues arose later, including navigating a repair contingency and probate related documentation, Tiffany handled them with professional ease and kept all parties aligned. She and her team were proactive, highly responsive, and truly hands-on with helping to coordinating necessary repairs which saved us tremendous stress. I cannot recommend Tiffany and The Tiffany Chin Group highly enough. If you're looking for a broker who is knowledgeable, diligent, and deeply committed to achieving the best possible outcome for her clients, Tiffany is the one to call."

Through the frustrations, which is inevitable, Rachel stayed by our side and was always connected with us. She is very responsive and worked so hard for us. Her energy was everything in this process. And we are so thankful to have had her as our realtor. Moving & finding our home would not have been this successful without the full support that Rachel provided. I can't speak more highly of this group! And it shows how they truly value their clients, day in and day out!

We had been to many open…read morehouses in the area due to our search for a home with a range of experiences from not greeting us or talking to us at all to being totally friendly and answering our questions, but not being able to answer because they weren't the actual listing agent and didn't know much about the property and everything in between. However, something was very obviously and immediately different about Laura that we hadn't seen. You can tell that she really loves what she does and is passionate about the process. I was impressed by her compassion towards us, her care and attention to the property and her sellers and even having an extra event and inviting the neighbors. Who does that? Anyone would be lucky to work with her and I would definitely recommend her.

The Berns team was a dream to work with on our condo sale. From the very start, Jason and Laura…read moreBerns immediately stood out to us for their professionalism, responsiveness, and well thought out plan about how they would sell our property. They also reacted to us touring them around our unit in real time, and I felt more confident as they were honest with what they would do or change from the outset, rather than saying what they thought I might want to hear. They have deep expertise, selling over 100 properties a year, so they have a very good beat on the current market and what works to sell your home to meet your goals (in our case, we hoped to reach a certain price quickly because we already had plans to move out). The team is deep and goes beyond just Jason and Laura. They have several other team members that specialize in different services, as well. We interacted with Alex and Mike who helped us ready our property for the open houses, and were always available to answer questions. If you wish, they will also put together a "transformation contract" where they will pay up front for work to be done to the property (e.g., painting, handyman jobs, staging) and then will take their payment out of escrow after the property sells. Also, the team does not take any percentage of those quotes - all the money goes to the contractors. To me, this not only reflected their confidence in their ability to sell the property, but also was just genuinely helpful from a cash flow perspective, while also supporting local contractors. We went this route, and it was quite amazing, as they managed everything from scheduling, to letting people in the house, payment, etc. It was a seamless process. Then when once we got an offer, their transaction manager, Alma, was super helpful in answering all of our questions about the closing process. I was initially a little concerned after we signed to work with them and I saw all the other properties they were currently selling as pretty much all of them were substantially more expensive than our property as they were luxury single family homes. In other words, I was worried we could be seen as lower priority because we wouldn't make them nearly as much money as sales of these other properties. However, not once during the entire process did I feel that way in practice. Our questions and concerns were always responded to immediately, and above and beyond what I expected. I had a fair bit of anxiety during the process as it was the first time we had sold a property, but Laura was there to sooth my anxieties and help me through every stage of the process. Jason, Laura and the entire team are not only pros, but just great and kind people. I cannot think of any feedback I would provide in a constructive manner as we were very happy, well informed throughout the whole process and ended up with a result we were very happy with. I would absolutely work with the Berns team again and recommend them whole heartedly.

They were always available to answer our questions, no matter how small, and demonstrated an impressive understanding of the market, from pricing strategy to marketing our home effectively.

Regarding Douglas' teaser pricing strategy ... DO IT!…read more The strategy seems simple, but it's not nearly as easy to execute as it sounds. After discussing the pros and cons with Doug, he demonstrated that knew how to handle every possible scenario, which made us comfortable. My husband Curtis and I were a little nervous about it, but the idea that it would help boost the algorithm was too good to not try. We both checked in with ourselves (our gut feelings) and agreed that it felt like the right thing to do. Now I will say that Curtis and I did our part. Our motto throughout the whole listing and selling process was, "Leave No Doubt." We had remodeled our house about 18 months ago, so the house looks great. But we wanted to Leave No Doubt that this is the house they don't want to miss. What this meant is we made sure the house was as perfect as possible: clean baseboards, clean everything, fixed some messy/crumbling grout in the kitchen and bathroom, repainted a stained wall, repainted the front entry step, etc. We also spent about $2000 on plants / soil to update the front landscaping to match the "new" backyard that had been installed 18 months earlier. We spent $1000 to replace the AC motor, which may have lasted through the summer, or maybe it would have lasted two weeks. Now it will last another 10-15 years. (Value add for the buyer.) We cleared away ALL clutter in every room. Anything that was out of integrity, we fixed. We didn't want to have anything to hide. We wanted our house to simply be the best house available, period. Basically we knew that we had one shot to maximize our chances of getting the best price. Douglas is bringing his A-Game (photographer, teaser price strategy, Sharon's decorating suggestions, etc), so we needed to bring our A-Game to help Douglas do what he does best. We looked at this entire process as a partnership, and we didn't want to be the weak link in the team that brought our price down. We did our part ... and with the teaser price strategy, our neighbors were calling our house a "Disneyland attraction!" For all 3 open houses, we had about 25 people waiting on the sidewalk before the open houses even started. Douglas and Sharon were fielding inquiries about our house within 15 minutes of the listing going live on the MLS. We had our first offer BEFORE the open houses, sight unseen! They didn't even tour the house - they just submitted an offer at just above list price. While it was a lowball offer, Douglas could now use it to say he already had an offer over asking! We were grateful to have 16 offers by the end of the open houses, and so happy with the buyers who won. After seeing Douglas and Sharon in action, and hearing how they both handle conversations to tip them in our favor for the highest possible offers, I'm more than impressed. I'm in awe! Douglas is really really good at this, and he knows what he's doing. He and his whole team were great to work with, easy to communicate with, and answered all of our questions quickly. Bottom line, we trusted them, and it worked out better than we could have imagined.
