I wanted to share a story about how I misjudged someone…read more.. I had my doubts about Stanley Lo. If I'm being honest, I'd have to admit I had a complete aversion to Green Banker. His advertisements were ostentatious. His outfits were silly. However, after mediocre experiences working with some of the Bay Area's (alleged) top agents, my husband urged me to give Stanley a chance. So I did... From the onset of our relationship, Stanley Lo proved me wrong. At our first meeting, I was (pleasantly) surprised & (begrudgingly) impressed by his business acumen. I liked that he was upfront, experienced, well-connected, intelligent, and entirely professional. My husband pointed out that, "He answers his phone every time I call him." -- and it's true! He works all hours of the day. Despite my reservations, Stanley Lo turned out to be one of the hardest-working men I've ever met. Additionally, his dedication to selling my house was unparalleled. In his recent mailing, he wrote: "Behind every escrow is a story -- often a challenging one. This year alone, I helped many homeowners resolve issues such as: Difficult disclosure and inspection issues Appraisal and financing complications Title and permit problems Buyer and seller contract disputes Complex legal and HOA matters and other major roadblocks that could have cost clients time, stress, and significant money In every case, my mission is the same: Protect the homeowner, solve the problem, and close smoothly -- while saving clients as much money and stress as possible. When needed, I go the extra mile: researching solutions, leveraging decades of expertise, and using my unique network to resolve issues that many agents cannot." So, I am here today to attest that his claims are not just lip service; he really does go the extra mile and delivers. I can't tell you how many things he did that I'm certain no other agent would (or could) have done. For example, he arranged for an international notary to help us process an online power of attorney. He helped mediate family disputes. He relentlessly nagged stakeholders until the job was complete. And he didn't stop calling until the deal was closed. The tasks he performed were far beyond the scope of a typical REALTOR. And for that, I am incredibly grateful. Mr. Lo, I wanted to say that I am sorry that I misjudged you. I was very wrong. It's clear to me now that your success is completely well-founded and deserved. You have my utmost respect and I intend to enthusiastically recommend you from this point forward. Thank you for all you did to sell my house! You were a true pleasure to work with!

What can I say? Now that my adrenaline and excitement are somewhat in check, I wanted to reach…read moreout and thank you, Eunice, and your entire team for yours and their magnificent efforts in selling Mr. Mitchell's house. Mr Mitchell was adamant about working with Stanley Lo and the Green Banker team. His advice served us well. From the moment we met with you we were confident that we were in good hands. It was clear that the Green Banker Team was Professional, Highly Competent, Customer Focused, Confident, Driven, Responsive, Kind, and truly caring about their client(s). Long before we engaged with the Green Banker Team I was extremely concerned about how I was going to sell a house from 3,000 miles away in Virginia. Your efforts and those of your team quickly put my concerns to rest. Throughout the entirety of our engagement, it felt like we were your one and only client. Whenever we called, regardless of what challenge we may have laid on your doorstep, your team always responded positively - always presenting a sense of calm and assuring us that 'it' would be taken care of. On top of everything else, the end result was beyond what we could have hopped for ... a no-contingent contract, on a house that never had to go on the market, no improvements or major repairs required, basically at our asking price, closing in 30 days. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Thank you Stanley Lo, Eunice, and the Green Banker Team

My husband and I are a couple in our early 30s, and we worked with Max Lo to both purchase a new…read moreproperty and sell off our old one. We first met Max at one of his open houses earlier this year in February 2025. Over the next few months, he worked closely with us to find, tour, and evaluate around 4-5 properties before we made our first offer. In total we submitted offers for 2 properties and won on our second one under Max's guidance. Our entire homebuying journey from meeting Max to closing on a house lasted 6 months. Afterwards, our journey of selling our old property lasted around 4 months (including all fixups, landscaping, staging) and was sold over 1 open house weekend. Our experience working with Max Lo has been phenomenal. His 30+ years of real estate experience really shines through every interaction. Most of his property sales range up to properties in the multi-millions and specializes in the highly competitive Hillsborough area where we ultimately won our bid, so we really cannot understate how important his knowledge and expertise came in handy here. His instincts are spot-on and has saved us so much time shopping in this market. Also we were a pretty picky couple, we had very specific details that we were looking for. Every time Max brought us to a property he did not disappoint, everything we looked at were very strong contenders. His attention to detail is second to none. Another great aspect about working with Max is his vast connection to professionals of all avenues working in and around real estate, including landscaping, staging, painting, insurance, fixing and patching, anything you can think of he has a guy for. These connections all came in handy even way after all business was finished - we connected with a bunch of different professionals that helped us replace our roof, fix our gate, replace our window screens, and handle our insurance all through Max. They all did a great job and did not disappoint. Not only is Max a great buyer's agent he is an expert at selling too. Again, his network is pretty elite. We were nervous about selling our old property due to the market at the time but of course Max's crew did a bang up job staging, advertising, photographing, the whole nine yards. Even the brochures turned out amazing. We could barely recognize our old home in the pictures! And of course, all updates he suggested were already optimized for maximum ROI. We ended up making all the changes he suggested, and we are super glad we did. The house ended up selling well over asking, and all just over one single open house weekend. We were beyond relieved and happy with this result. If the points above hadn't convinced you yet, here's one that really impressed us. On a random weekend we were browsing an open house out of Max's network, and we sent him one single text to ask him for his opinion. He literally showed up at the exact open house 15 minutes later just to tour the property with us and give us his thoughts. He also did his due diligence with the seller's agent and got information on our behalf. This was the first house we made a bid on that we ultimately lost because we didn't listen to Max's advice and bid lower than what he suggested. Luckily we corrected on this when we bid for our second house and followed Max's advice this time around. And we won! I've already typed 5 paragraphs about how awesome Max is as a real estate agent, but I haven't even gotten to how FUN he is to work with in real life!! He has just the right amount of neuroticism where you will never have to guess where he stands at any point of the project. He will always give you the most direct, most honest, most brutal opinion on any topic at all times, which will end up saving you thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars in the long run. The more you work with him, the more you will realize that he is actually the most generous, kind, and patient guy that you'll ever meet. He really puts a lot of time and care into his profession, and that's one thing that we will always respect about him. Work with Max Lo. Buying, selling, it doesn't matter. He will make it worth your while, he will make you (or save you!) a bunch of money, and he'll make sure you're well taken care of at the end.

We saw dozens of homes and he assisted us with making a few offers in the City, Peninsula, and East Bay. And though we didn't make a purchase at the time, Kris's patience with our pickiness paid off a couple years later when he helped us buy our first home (short sale) in Contra Costa County. Fast forward about 7 years, and we used Kris's services again to prepare, show, and sell that same home for a handsome profit. My whole experience with him, from buying to selling, was exciting, positive, and effortless (on my part). In summary, I am glad to have had Kris and his team by our side throughout the whole process. Kris's knowledge of the business, along with his first-hand familiarity with the SF Peninsula (as a raised local) is what makes Aspire a stand out business among others in the industry. The shop itself is a small-boutique family run business that enables Kris and his staff to provide an extraordinary service tailored just for your needs. He makes the process "a breeze." We look forward to using Aspire again for our next property. And we honestly suggest you contact Kris to help buy or sell yours. Best of the Bay! Highly recommended!!
