Derrick Oh was my selling agent for my Campbell condo in January. He was extremely easy to work…read morewith, and advised me on what updates I could make to maximize my sales price and minimize my time on market. Following Derrick's advice I invested $20k in updates (new kitchen and bath countertops, new cabinetry handles, new kitchen appliances, resurfaced tub/shower unit, new carpet, and so on). Might seem like a lot, but I got $30k over asking price! My 1 BR condo went on market on a Wednesday, open house on weekend, and by Tuesday Derrick had four solid qualified offers for me to review. The sale closed in less than 30 days after I accepted the offer and the market time was less than one week! If you are considering selling, but aren't ready yet, contact Derrick. My only regret is that the updates I made I wish I could have made a year or two earlier so that I could have enjoyed them myself. If you follow his advice, Derrick will work with you to help you gain value in your property while reducing the time on market. I would definitely choose Derrick again if I were selling or buying in the Silicon Valley (or the Palm Springs area). I'm sure he's a shrewd negotiator on the buying side of the transaction too!

Derrick was an absolute pleasure to work with in selling our San Jose home recently. We contacted…read morehim about six weeks prior to our move date and he met with us right away. From the moment he came to our door, he was assessing our curb appeal and neighborhood and gave us a very fair first impression of the market and what we should do to position ourselves for a good, timely sale. We had a draft schedule of next steps within 24 hours. We were moving out of the area and working on a tight timeline between family/work transition and a potentially slow summer holiday weekend. Within four days of our moving out, Derrick prepared the home and had it staged beautifully, and listed on MLS for open houses the very next weekend. The preparation included Derrick's coordination of contract workers, cleaners, inspectors, all in the course of several days. Thanks to Derrick's extraordinary efforts, we accepted an offer within a week of listing on MLS -- above asking price. We were pleasantly surprised as other homes in the neighborhood had come on the market before ours and were still holding open houses. We're grateful for Derrick's professionalism and practical approach. He always educated us about the whole picture, allowing us to decide how we wanted to approach everything. His years of experience shines very brightly!

There should be a photo of Don next to the definition of the following words in the dictionary:…read moretrustworthy, caring, knowledgeable, listens and relentless. I was recommended to Don years ago by a friend and, I went my own way and used other realtors. Since I was buying a home with a veteran loan, the process was excruciating. I found that many realtors didn't understand the complexity of using a veteran loan, and the ones that did understand, weren't honest and upfront and never shared their concerns. So, I went through a few realtors and despite having made about 25 offers (always overbidding), none were accepted. Finally, my landlord decided to sell the property I was living in and I was about to be forced back into the rental market. I finally took my friend's advice and contacted Don. At this point, I was so defeated. I thought it was going to be a repeat of last my last experiences where I'd made offers but all of them would always be rejected. And so, I called Don and he asked me to come to his office where he explained the home buying process. He started telling me that when we "into escrow...." What?! Wait! Escrow? Are you kidding?! My past offers had all been rejected, how would we ever get to escrow?! In fact, Don was already preparing me to purchase my first home from our very first meeting. He was preparing me for success. This is like Tony Robbins stuff. He had a plan and was taking me thought it step-by-step. Wow! During me looking at units we usually met and Don's office and he'd drive me around to numerous homes. He was insightful. He'd ask questions about things that he'd see that he thought would later be potential concerns. Finally, when my offer was accepted, he gave me some of the best advice I'd ever received when purchasing a new home: "go knock on your neighbors doors and introduce yourself and talk to them". At first, I ignored Don's advice. Later during one of our meetings he asked if I'd gone to introduce myself. I responded that I had not and I asked him why it was so important for me to do so. He responded, "if you knock on your neighbors door and they have swastika tattoos, do you really wanna live next to them?" Well gosh diggity darn it, great point, Don! All in all, he was amazing. Thanks for helping me purchase my first home!

Edwin is a very kind, nice person who is really easy to talk to. On top of that, he has decades of…read moreexperience and expertise that are a huge benefit, especially when the housing market is not in your favor. When we went to sell our home, it unfortunately was right at the time that the real estate commission laws changed and buyers were having a difficult time qualifying to purchase. Also, we had some challenges with our tenants leaving that delayed our time frame. Despite all the timing issues, Edwin coached us through everything and made the real estate sale process way easier than it otherwise would have been. He has many connections to help in the renovation and staging process while preparing for sale. Also he regularly attends real estate broker events and presents the property to other agents in his large network of agents. He does not just relay on Zillow/online. A newer agent does not know how to handle tough situations that arise outside of the normal simple buy/sell process. When it comes to selling property and handling big financial decisions, having Edwin's knowledge and calm demeanor to guide us was invaluably important!

I was looking to buy a place for a few months. I decided to work with Edwin as I've known him for a…read morelong time. I'll start by saying it was one of the best decisions I made to work with Edwin. If you are serious in pursuing a home for yourself, first thing you need is a pre-approval. He made that very clear from the beginning. He also helped me get a pre-approval of his own. We saw a few properties together. For every property I was interested, we got a crazy amount of disclosures. He is very knowledgable and was patient enough to go through most of them and also instructed me to go through some of the important disclosures. He understood my requirements and streamlined the property search within my budget and the neighborhoods I was looking for. I really liked this one condo in potrero hill so much and we decided to put an offer. There was so much competition and we didn't stand a chance. The buyer's cover letter he wrote on my behalf was so impressive. He tried his best until the last moment to see if there still was a chance knowing I really liked the place. That's how sincere he was in understanding his client's need. That meant so much to me even though we lost the offer. I had several questions during my search and while putting the offer. He answered all my questions with clarity and he was available anytime I wanted to reach him. He was prompt in responding to all my messages and calls. For the next 2 months, we continued looking for properties to my liking and it was not easy. We would occasionally meet for lunch / talk over phone and he shared a lot of knowledge and provided valuable suggestions. He educated me about interest rates, refinancing, owner to tenant ratio when it comes to condominium complexes, litigations and more. His experience speaks a lot. 2 months later, we found a place and put an offer and this time it was accepted. Thanks to Edwin and his team in taking care of the offer package. From this point on, on a daily basis, we would touch base to take care of all the contingencies until closing. He did a thorough inspection of the property. While I was working with my lender, he also jumped in and helped wherever he can to speed up the process. He guided me throughout the entire process. He has set the time and date and came with me to the title company when I submitted the EMD deposit. Jennie from his team was also helping track the progress from the point the offer was accepted until closing. She is very organized and knowledgable. Her emails are very professional and precise. She was very quick in responding to all my emails. The e-signing process for the various documents I need to sign were very well taken care. It was a smooth process. Thanks to Edwin & Jennie! They also helped me with recommendations on Homeowners Insurance and Home Warranty. Edwin and Team helped me with every single thing I needed as part of this purchase. They went above and beyond in helping me secure the property I loved. I'm very pleased with the overall experience. He was very professional and was available any time of the day. He made me feel like I'm working with the right person from the beginning till end. For all the questions I had, he always had the right answers. It was peaceful to have him as my agent!! On top of all that, he became a great friend. I highly recommend Edwin and his team for your next home! Suresh

Our townhouse was rather dated and needed quite a bit of work to make it appealing and stand out amongst competitions. We work full time, have a young toddler to care for and were about to move to our new home at the time so, we were worried about the effort to manage the whole remodeling. Kevin and Kiri proposed a pragmatic solution and took care of everything from planning, communication, overseeing the remodeling and so much more! This means so much to us because not only that we were able to focus on tasks at hand but also ended up with a gorgeous townhouse. The transformation was stunning! We couldn't believe that it was the same place! Kevin and Kiri communicated frequently to ensure that we were always in the loop. Kevin personally did some of the work himself to save us some money from the remodeling while Kiri directed the staging precisely and wonderfully. They answered our millions of questions day or night throughout the whole process. Their effort paid off when we closed the deal at 12% over the asking price with 5 offers and only 8 days on the market. We set the highest price in the community and highest percent over asking in the downtown townhouses. Kevin and Kiri were always available for us before, during and after closing, providing guidance and support. We couldn't have done it without them. Thank you, Kevin and Kiri!

As an public school educator and first time home buyer, the whole process of looking for a home,…read moreespecially in the Bay Area, is very intimidating. Of all parts of the process, the part I was the most nervous about were the financial options available to me. A work colleague and friend highly recommended I contact Kevin after he helped her create the winning offer that wasn't the highest on her condo. Sure enough, he did it again! Kevin did not make me feel pressured but also helped to explain the process and even made sure that as he learned more about my needs, he would be able to put me in touch with the best lender. It was basically a miracle. We weren't the highest offer, we even had a contingency, but here we are, now living in a home I've dreamed about for a very long time. Keywords that I'd use to describe him: Effective: Kevin found us an off-market property and helped set expectations that this place was going to be sold quickly if/when it hit the market. He then got us in to see the place quickly and we fell in love with it. Local expert: We only looked at a few homes together and some were fixer uppers. We could tell he understood costs and timelines for various renovations. Hard working: We had met just prior to the winter holidays and he wrote my contract on his birthday and then helped ratify the offer two days later on his wife's birthday. Resourceful: Kevin was able to help us qualify for a bigger and better home than expected because he found us a lender that was offering a 3.75% 30 year fixed mortgage when the competition was in the mid 6% range. Would I recommend him to others? Absolutely.

First, I'm conflicted on whether to rate Wilson as a realtor or the chiffon cake he gifted us after…read moreclosing--because both were five-star experiences, honestly. If you're reading this review and still considering other realtors, I'll stop you right here. Wilson was nothing but excellent throughout the entire process. He was responsive, prompt, thorough, and always approached things as if he were spending his own money. Even with other clients and commitments, he still made sure we were treated with urgency and care. He went above and beyond coordinating everything and keeping things smooth sailing, all without ever making us feel rushed or pressured. He's also direct and firm with his advice--in a good way. As first-time homebuyers, our experience felt very personalized. I never felt like I was bothering him or asking "too many questions" (even though I definitely tested that theory).
