Tuan is the freakin' GOAT! We've just completed another real estate transaction with Tuan's help and can honestly say he has his client's best interests at heart. He will go to bat for his clients and his experience is unparalleled. It's so crucial to have an experienced agent and Tuan can honestly do it all. Unlike other agents who just have selling or buying experience, Tuan has the knowledge of every single aspect of a real estate transaction from buying and selling to flipping and property management. Having all of this knowledge is critical to understand any type of issue that can pop up on any side and how best to move forward when those things inevitably occur. Looking back at our encounters with him, Tuan is always quick to respond, keeps us updated with how things are progressing and is always honest with us. We're so lucky to have worked with him and would highly recommend him -- he's literally a one stop shop for all of your real estate needs. read more

I moved to another state due to job transfer. So, I decided to keep my house in San Jose as rental property. I found Tuan on Yelp with wonderful rating and reviews. He and his team took great care of my property for years, then I finally decided to sell the property in 2025. The housing market was tough and competitive for sellers, but with Tuan's experience, knowledge, strategy, sufficiency, professionalism made a sale in less than 30 days! I was so relieved... I never had to visit San Jose to proceed the sale. Tuan and his team made it possible with timely manner. I could trust him since he always made it work and showed results for years for my rental property. Now looking back, I appreciate him and his team so much for what they have done for me. Tuan is always positive, patient, and friendly even though he has so many clients and properties that he handles. He is a wonderful family man, too. It was fun to work with him. May his business continue to grow and be blessed!! read more

It has been over a year since we bought our first home through Tuan- it's my fault for forgetting to write this earlier but he was so great that I had to come back and do this. My husband and I first met Tuan when he was managing the home we were renting at the time. The way he protected his client's (our landlord's)interests made us think he would be a good choice to work with- he took great care of that property and made sure we did too as renters. As an agent to very clueless first time buyers with barely any money or support, he was incredible. This man literally drove us around to properties, walked us through them, explained why several homes we were fixated on were maybe not a great idea (lol) and ultimately got us our perfect first home. He actually didn't even stop there. As a property manager and owner of multiple rentals both in and out of state, he is eerily accurate re renovation/repair costs and actually gave us contacts for people he trusts to get work done. (side note- if Tuan trusts someone that means they're good. The man is a perfectionist. He misses nothing.) He was kind enough to also provide some contacts with lenders since that's how clueless we were. Through this entire process, he was also so personable, warm and funny. Most importantly, he was very responsive and very accurate with paperwork. I realize now he has so many clients and responsibilities but will somehow make you feel like you are the only client. We will definitely be working with him for all future needs- compared to multiple other agents had spoken to with he was by far the absolute best. If you know nothing about real estate in the wild Bay Area market, Tuan is your guy. read more

I usually don't write review. Based on my 8 years of experiences working with him, he simply went above and beyond of my expectations, both professionally and as a person. I am not someone easy to work with, yet he is shockling patient, helpful, knowledgable and take care of his clients with great care. He helped us managed several properties as well as sale of the two properties. During Covid I lost my job, he helped in every way he could. It was a true blessing work with Tuan. Now we moved out of California, my husband and i both wish that Tuan also moved with us to the state we're now. He is truly a kind and wonderful human being. For anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, honest, kind, professional property manager or real estate agent, looks no further, he is your answer. read more

Tuan worked with me for months trying to find the right property. We visited so many properties, plots of land, everything. I'm just getting into rental real estate and I learned so much from him doing all the walk throughs and putting offers in. When I finally got the an offer accepted I was ecstatic. He was a huge help getting the property rent ready. The fact that Tuan also provides property management services is a bonus. read more

Tuan was recommended to us by my brother who also recently bought a home in the Bay Area. As first time homebuyers, we were nervous about the whole home buying process, so knowing that Tuan had helped my brother and then having our first consultation, put us at ease. During our consultation, he walked us through the entire process; from getting pre-approvals, understanding contingencies, and the current state of the market. Over the course of three months, Tuan made himself available whenever we requested home showings, as well as through all forms of contact to answer any questions we had. With how quickly Tuan responded to us, we thought we were his only clients but realized that wasn't the case - he was always jumping around everywhere in the Bay Area, from Livermore to Monterey (and probably further). Tuan is a wealth of knowledge and provided us with great insight during our home tours. He pointed out things to look for that we usually would not have thought of. He would give us his honest opinions about the homes in relation to their asking price, as well as mention any possible renovation ideas to allow us to imagine how it would be like for us living there when asked. All of these things really helped us in making the tough decisions on whether the house was right for us. Tuan did not try to push or rush us into any decisions, only to guide us with facts from the home disclosures he would look through with us. It was a stressful process, but Tuan went above and beyond to put us at ease, including a couple of laughs along the way. You cannot go wrong with Tuan as your agent. If you are in the Bay Area and are starting your search for a home, I highly recommend reaching out to Tuan! read more

Tuan D Tran - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Jose, California

Shockingly good service, patient guidance, and great depth of market knowledge. We've worked with many realtors, but as this was our first condo, Tuan patiently guided us through the process with savvy insights. He also has deep and expansive knowledge of the market, which for us spanned the entire east bay. On multiple occasions he had first-hand experience regarding specific properties we considered and quickly flagged potential opportunities and risks which we'd have never known without his vast experience. Lastly, his level of communication and commitment to our satisfaction (even post closing) just floored us. Never experienced anything like it. Pick Tuan...you really can't go wrong. read more

We are first time home buyers and Tuan made the entire process from start to end seamless. When we first started doing research on realtors, we knew we wanted to work with him right from the start. He took the time to go over the entire loan and contract process with us so we were familiar with everything. He took us to see houses and shared his knowledge of the neighborhood, the condition of each house and what he thought a fair offer was for each home. He walked us step by step in reading disclosures and made sure we were always aware of what we were signing because reading every page would have been very overwhelming. He was always super prompt in returning messages and answering all our questions. He's genuinely a good person and has your best interest at heart. He definitely knows the market and when to strike. When we first gave him our wish list, it seemed like we would never find our perfect home. But with his guidance and expertise he was able to get us into our home, in a neighborhood we originally thought we could never buy in, under budget. We knew we wanted a fixer upper so he got us in contact with an amazing contractor who has made all our Pinterest visions come true. The best part is that even after we closed on our house he still drops in to check on our renovation progress and still gives us excellent advice. Tuan will be a part of our lives moving forward as a friend and as a real estate resource! read more

Tuan D Tran - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Jose, California

Wow! I didn't realize Tuan had so many positive reviews on Yelp. But to be honest, I am not surprised at all. Tuan was recommended to us by my physical therapist, and was the first and only agent we worked with in the Bay Area. I've actually worked with a couple agents in the past on my own, but he is the first one both my husband and I used together in a purchase of a single family home. And I will say that Tuan is hands down the best agent I've ever worked with. My husband and I always joke how we are so spoiled now because now we would expect all agents to be the way Tuan is. 1. Tuan is very detail oriented - he held our hand through the entire stressful process known as buying a home in the Bay Area. In our first meeting, he already started explaining all the different contingencies and etc. He has a background in construction and appraising and was able to use the knowledge to point out any issues with the home that we never would have noticed. We always felt like we were making the best decisions with Tuan's guidance. We were also able to get a lot of advice on repairs that we were unfamiliar with. 2. His empathy and level of service is unmatched. Honestly we always joke that we forget he has other clients because he always makes you feel like you're the only client he has, given his level of attention. He communicates very well and is always responsive, professional. For better or worse you really feel like he priorities your well-being, even sometimes at the cost of his time in the evenings. We're really grateful for that even though it wasn't something we expected. 3. Tuan is a no BS kinda guy. He will tell it like it is, but in a respectful and kind way. And I think that's what you'd hope for in an agent - someone that you can completely trust, that isn't out to gouge money from you, but can also be super kind and respectful about it. Someone that is in your corner. It's funny because with technology and being in the Bay, it's easy to want to find an "easier" solution to home purchasing like redfin's app where they even take less of a commission. My husband and I were tempted to do that, because we felt that we could just figure out and buy a home on our own. We didn't really trust agents and wasn't sure of their value, especially after interviewing some. I think the help Tuan has given us in our new home purchase has been invaluable and I won't believe anyone that thinks there's an app out there that can replace the type of service and help that Tuan provided. read more

Tuan seemed legit over the initial call. Then he asked for pictures and address of my house to get back to me. Trusted him with the information. Never heard from him again. A little creepy if you ask me. Now it's been a few years and I almost forgot about it when Yelp asked me to rate the business. So here it is. I'll throw in one more star purely in the spirit of Labor Day. read more

Background about me: First Time Home Buyer, work in tech, very detailed, and wanted a deal in San Jose. I've worked with Tuan over Mid-2020 to Mid-2021 in finding a house in the San Jose area after my last agent fell through. I wasn't looking for any house, I was looking for enough rooms to house hack and area with potential upside in development. I wasn't going to spend my time driving to a house for a tour that had no potential, it has to be a house where the inspection report and pictures were good. His analysis of what a house will go for was very accurate over the past year, however, there were houses that I couldn't justify the price. Tuan and I walked around over multiple houses and ended up submitting a few offers. In the end, we were able to get an offer accepted on a house. Tuan excels at a lot of great things if you're trying to find a deal in San Jose, 1. Can do market comps really well (the house appraised for as much as he predicted from market comps) 2. Knows estimated remodeling cost back of the head (he owns rentals) 3, Willing to explain every single line of an inspection/termite report, potential costs and if fix is required 4. Owns his own real estate business, loves his job, and a great guy to talk to! 5. Knows local contractors, local mortgage companies, and local insurance companies for quick quotes (Was able to call up a local insurance company on a unique property to see if insurance would cover x y and z. Right when offer was accepted, he was able to get 3 extremely competitive quotes within 24 hours where I was able to save 20 basis points in interest and get 17.5k worth of grants! 6. Just look at his Homelight sales history, he closed 2+ houses every month for the past year! 7. Able to put pressure on the other's agent. If you're looking for an agent to trust your downpayment, you cannot go wrong with Tuan! Would recommend him to any friends/first time home buyers. He's a great friend now for any advice I need in the real estate/remodeling market! read more

Tuan D Tran - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Jose, California

Tuan is a rockstar! I wish I found him sooner! Probably would of sold my house so much faster. I reached out to Tuan amid the whole COVID-19 crisis as our listing was just about to be unlisted on the MLS and I was looking for a property manger. I was so impressed with Tuan and his knowledge of the whole rental market, and about everything going on with the current pandemic as well as all the numbers as well (I am a numbers person). As a property manager he did not try to sell me on his services or even try take over my listing. No pressure, just honest advice on next steps. After talking with Tuan we ended up getting an offer on our house. (Literally 30 mins after getting off the phone with him). I am sure Tuan could of got me a lot more, but money in the hand is better than a bird in a bush, or however that goes. I have delt with a lot of real estate agents over the last few months (Buying and trying to sell our San Jose house) and I have not seen some one with this type of hustle in the buisness in the Bay Area TLDR:If you are selling a property in San Jose and looking for a property manager get in touch with Tuan! read more

Tuan is a professional and friendly realtor. He helped us purchase our home and made the process comfortable and easy. It was easy because we trust Tuan's expert advice and and we valued his opinion. Purchasing our first home together was pleasant because we had a great realtor that we felt comfortable with. He is always available to answers questions that we have. Tuan not only helped us purchase our new home, but helped me sell my old home as well. He gave us recommendations on what to remodel and upgrade in the old home and provides us with recommendations on contractors to perform the jobs. The place was remodeled and decorated so nice that I wanted to move back in. We highly recommend Tuan! read more

Tuan is an excellent realtor for any first time home buyers. He is both knowledgeable and thorough. The very first meeting with him is a whiteboard session where he will run through the entire home buying process from pre-approval to touring to closing in a very easy to understand manner so don't worry if you feel unprepared. Throughout the process, he is responsive, punctual and professional. The two things I appreciated most about Tuan is his upfrontness and eye for renovations. He will tell you if he believes the house is worth a certain price or not but of course will not push you to a decision as that is yours alone. He also has great experience in renovations so whether you are going for a fixer upper or a move in ready home, he can point out fixes he suggests doing and ballpark est pricing or if the craftsmanship that was done is of good quality. It definitely beats having to get a contractor to tell you after buying the home. We had absolutely no complaints with Tuan, truly high touch high quality care. He helped us close a home in Cambrian Park area through Covid and wildfire. P.S. he is hilarious read more

We recently worked with Tuan for the sale of our house in San Jose. This was the first time we were selling a home. I can't thank Tuan enough for the fabulous work throughout the process as he worked tirelessly to get our house ready for sale, list it and then work through evaluating offers and lastly closing out details. We began the year dreading the entire process of fixing and selling the house but thanks to Tuan and his team - things proceeded without a hitch through each phase. Our house needed quite a bit of work to get ready for sale - bathrooms, hardwood-refinish, painting inside and out, curb appeal, water heater move etc.. Since our house is on a busy street, we also needed to give it extra sparkle to attract interest. After moving out our new residence was an hour away so we were worried about managing the logistics of the process. However, Tuan managed everything for us for us. He offered advice on what we should fix vs leave as-is to add value to the house and then guided us through the selection of materials and work began the weekend we were out of the house. He managed the entire project, coordinating across all the trades and checking in with us and sharing photos as work progressed and consulting us on purchase decision for materials while maintaining meticulous records. He has an amazing and VERY affordable construction team that did quality work in renovating the house. The house looked amazing at the end of the process and we moved into the listing phase. He managed all formalities of inspections, staging, comps etc. and worked with us through process of setting the list price. We got the interest we were seeking and in two weeks from list we took offers. He gave his advice and perspective from his experience with evaluating offers but always left it up to us to make the final decision based on what is best for us. He negotiated with buyers agents and got us into escrow and we completed escrow without any hitches. Tuan has an indefatigable work ethic, pays incredible attention to detail, puts his clients above everything else and is an absolute joy to work with. He has years of experience both as a realtor and as a real estate investor and is generous with his time and attention with his clients. I highly recommend him for all your real estate needs. read more

Tuan was the property manager of my place in the bay area when I moved down to LA for a year. He is patient, honest, and very responsive. During our first meeting, Tuan spent one and half hours going through all details with me without pushing me to make a decision. I moved forward with him because of his patience and honesty during this meeting. He took care a few things for me while I was moving out, which made my move so much easier. He found a handyman to fix a few cosmetic issues, and a maid to clean the house afterwards but before he showed it to some potential candidates. He found a tenant for me within a month. The tenant was perfect, and kept the house really clean. There were a few issues that needed my attention, but Tuan took care of it, and I didn't spent too much time at all. When I moved back and had the tenant to move out, Tuan was very helpful and professional. He helped check the house and handed everything to me in person to make sure the house is in a good shape and I have everything I need. I couldn't be happier about the whole experience. I am so glad that I worked with him, and will definitely work with him again and recommend him to anyone who is looking for a property manager. read more

What are you even considering if you're at the point of reading this? Work with Tuan. As a first time homebuyer, I had a lot of concerns, questions, and doubts. Who knew that I was getting a friend, confidante, therapist, and trusted advisor among other hats all rolled into his work as a realtor! Tuan was always there and more. His approach to the process as well as his connections for making the post-sale worries fade away has left me extremely grateful. I cannot express or say enough positive things about working with Tuan. read more

If you are looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and fun realtor, look no more! We were so lucky to find someone like Tuan to be our realtor. My fiancée and I were first time home buyers. With no experience and no clue on the whole buying process, we closed the deal and became super confident about the process. Tuan walked us through each step from the beginning to the end and eased our anxiety and fear. He was never pushy and is always punctual. He truly represents and fights for his clients. Besides these great qualities in a realtor, his 20+ years of experience shine when he breezes through home estimates, walk-through, and disclosures. He offered us valuable insights that really helped us with our decisions. The icing on the cake is Tuan's extensive network of anything house related from loan to remodeling to plumbing. Tuan is definitely a one stop shop. You won't be disappointed and he deserves our highest recommendation. We really appreciate him for all of his time in helping us finding this lovely home. Thank you for making the house hunting experience a fun one. Cheers! read more

I was introduced to Tuan and had the opportunity to work with him as my realtor. Finding a good realtor is rare, as I don't trust easily. Our first meeting was set up and I had a million questions, which he went over thoroughly. He walked me through the process from beginning to end and addressed any concerns I had. (...and trust me, I had a lot of concerns!) Tuan connected me with his network which provided me the listings to all the homes. Any homes that I would like to preview, I would reach out to him and was able to tour the place the same day! He would give me his honest feedback, provided me comparables, and listed out the pros/cons. The home market right now is crazy and really ridiculous. After five months of searching and being outbid 4 times, I felt really defeated. I was at the point where I wanted to give up... I was stressed and overwhelmed, but he was there to put my mind at ease. Tuan went above and beyond to help me out. He even came to pick me up to view a property that was perfect for me. After looking at the place, I completely loved it as it is still a brand-new contemporary home and move-in ready. He advised me and suggested the price to offer, and my bid was accepted! Once he got me into contract, Tuan introduced me to his network of mortgage lenders who would give me the best rates. Everything went by extremely fast in escrow. Once escrow closed, I was anxious to get my keys. He met up with me the same day to get me into my new place...And now I have found the perfect home! It's in such a peaceful and quiet neighborhood. Who would have thought I would ever move out of San Jose? Throughout this journey, I have pestered Tuan daily with all my calls and texts, and he was always responsive and flexible. I told him we're going to become BFFs out of this. We even discovered we have a ton of mutual friends! It's such a crazy small world. If you're in the search for an amazing realtor, I would highly recommend Tuan as he has a wealth of experience, personable, friendly, trustworthy, and easy to work with. I have gained an amazing life-long friend out of it. I always appreciate him looking out for me and providing me his guidance and support. read more

7 years ago, we used Tuan to buy our first home. Then 3 years ago, we contacted him to ask him for his opinion on a market that was nowhere close to him. So when it came time for us to move back to the Bay Area this past summer, we did not hesitate to call him because he is absolutely THE MAN! We were living in Texas and flew into San Jose one weekend and he took us to look at 15 houses in one weekend. He FaceTimed us and took us to tour at least another 20-25 homes and gave us his honest opinion each time (location, schools, resale value, noise conditions, safety concerns, true market value, etc). There was never any pressure. After 4 months of looking, we finally found a home we liked and ended up getting it under the asking price! Tuan is very detail oriented and spent a lot of time at the house and sent the seller a list of things that needed to be repaired/touched up before the closing...things we definitely would've missed. He continued to follow up with us after the sale to make sure everything was ok. The Bay Area market has gone more insane than we could've ever imagined and Tuan helped us keep it together. As always, buying a home is stressful and can get emotional. Tuan kept us calm and was very patient, remaining very practical the entire time. If it wasn't for him, I'm pretty sure the hunt for a house this time around would've resulted in a divorce. Thank goodness for Tuan! read more

During our experience of buying our home, Tuan was there every step of the way. He came with us on multiple tours to check out the property and make sure everything was in working order, he called us during our process of getting our loan, and was there with us when we picked up the keys to our house. He went above and beyond, working after hours to ensure we were helped a long the way. Tuan, thank you so much for everything during the process of buying our home. We appreciate you! You are awesome! read more

The hubby and I met Tuan at an open house when we were shopping for real estate agents. Tuan didn't ignore us but also didn't try to persuade us to hire us with offers of a duo team or cash back. He didn't need gimmicks like that. What he did offer us was a plethora of knowledge. On the first day we met, he overloaded us with information on benefits for first-time home buyers. (Unfortunately, the neighborhoods we were interested in didn't qualify.) Then he invited us to his office to teach us the inner workings of buying a home. The hubby and I discovered that Tuan was an easy source for information and extremely patient--especially whenever I called him anxiously trying to dispel misinformation we learned from other people. One of the best qualities about Tuan is that he was more interested in our comfort than the fat payday he was going to get. I know because he actually steered us away from a more expensive home for a less expensive one with better amenities and neighborhood. The hubby and I are now happily almost settled into a great community and feeling safer than we would have been had he not made our needs his priority. Tuan, get ready for more trouble from us when we upgrade our home in several years! ;) read more

My wife and I are first time home buyers. Even with our diligence in doing research on our own and being on top of everything we think we possibly could, we weren't prepared. We weren't prepared for all the paperwork; inspection report, the offer process, escrow process, home warranty insurance, and the wait for escrow to close. Tuan Tran of Tran, Rullamas & Associates made our buying process stress free. The experience was simply amazing. From the first moment I made the call to Tuan to the day we closed, he was our home buying partner. He never left our side, took our calls, even on weekends to answer even our silliest questions. Even after we got the keys, he provided contact information for locksmith, house cleaner, gardener, and cable/internet contact. One of the most important things out of all of this is that Tuan scheduled webex calls with us to go over the inspection and disclosure reports. Partnership! There are a lot of agents that can help you buy a house. But if you are looking for a partner who has a passion for what he is doing and enjoys sharing his knowledge, I highly recommend Tuan Tran. There is no doubt when we buy again it would be with Tuan. - Ash and De Share review Edit review Delete review read more

Tuan D Tran - Our first house! Thank you Tuan!!! - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Jose, California

We are so grateful to have found Tuan to help in our 1st time home buying process! He was a like a realtor ninja and exceeded our expectations in every way possible. He was so patient and genuine and took the time to educate us on each and every step and the entire process. My only regret is wishing we had met him years ago! We knew he legitimately had our best interests at heart and also helped put us in contact with great lenders. His past experience as an appraiser was so helpful to get extra info along the way. He is so funny and down to earth, we just want to be lifelong friends with him! He is so knowledgeable in all aspects of the market and we learned so much from him. Our total experience was invaluable and he truly goes the extra mile and roots for his clients in every way possible. If you aren't satisfied with his stellar service, you are just impossible to please. He actually set the bar so high I fear no one can come close to his level of service. Thanks Tuan & Vinh for everything you've done for us! read more

*HIGHLY RECOMMEND* This is the second time around Tuan has been a key player in assisting our family buy a home. We come back to him because of his utmost expertise, his professionalism, and his most honest and pleasant personality. He is not only savvy in the ways of real estate buying, but he is also a team player: he was always on our side, supportive, and empowering with helping us make choices for the right home. With our recent purchase, Tuan has gone above and beyond in not only assertively sealing the deal with the sellers, but also helped us to great lengths in finding suitable contractors for our new home renovations. If one person alone can make a home purchase this enjoyable and undaunting, it would be Tuan. We are most pleased to share our experience with Tuan to anyone and highly recommend him to family and friends. read more

Tuan is the best!! He is very knowledgeable and experienced about the process of buying a house. If you are a first time buyer like us, then you should definitely work with him! We had a very bad experience with our previous agent. In contrast, we had an amazing experience with Tuan. And he always respected our wants and needs. He would advise us on the price range to bet, but he would never push us to bid higher. Also, he is very patient and explains about various aspects of buying a house, like what to check on the inspection reports, structural aspects of a house, signing escrow and so on. And, even after buying the house, he would still help us and explain the best way to maintain home ownership and he continues to do so. He is fun and easy to work with! We really enjoyed working with him and we are already missing chatting with him! I hope we can work together again in the future and maintain our friendship. Thanks so much Tuan! You are the best!!!! read more

Tuan has made the whole supposed-to-be-stressful house buying process an enjoyable one for us. Besides his knowledge and experience, what we appreciate the most are Tuan's patience, accessibility, responsiveness and sense of humor, which truly have made everything so much easier. We had to say, as a buyer agent, Tuan went above and beyond to help his clients in any way he could. It was a pleasure to work with Tuan! We highly recommend him! read more

My husband and I came to Tuan after being dissatisfied with our prior agent, who made a number of mistakes on our written offers that we managed to catch the night before submitting (which as you can imagine, is pretty nerve-wracking when you're a first-time home buyer!). When we first met Tuan, he essentially told us "some people make mistakes. I don't." And I can say that throughout the entire process, Tuan never made a mistake. Without Tuan, we definitely would not be in our home today, and I can not recommend him more as an agent and friend. From the very beginning, Tuan put in 110% to help us in our search, including driving out over an hour the day after he met us to review a house that we were interested in, taking detailed pictures and providing much more information and research on the house than we had ever received from our previous agent. Our previous agent was very highly reviewed on Yelp, and had all the right answers when we interviewed him, but Tuan is both very highly recommended and (and I cannot stress this enough) will put in the time and effort to really help you in your search. We got the sense that our previous agent was so busy that he didn't really put much effort or attention into our search, and in the Bay Area, that is a huge disadvantage. Tuan went the extra mile for us on every single listing we were interested in. We never got the sense that he was too busy for us. Tuan's goal is to make sure his clients are ultimately happy and satisfied. He never put pressure on us to close a deal, and in fact, even recommended that we not raise our bid on a house when he sensed that we weren't 100% excited about the house. He was as upset as we were when we lost the bid on a house that was nearly half our budget, after he had spent numerous hours talking with their agent and formulating the best strategy for us to win the house (we ended up losing the house due to entirely unrelated reasons). The house we ultimately ended up in is probably not one we would have looked at in the beginning of our search, but we are so happy with our home and we know there is no way we would have won our bid without Tuan. Tuan is a former appraiser and it really shows. We were willing to bid much more on our house, but Tuan coached us on an amount that was exactly where it needed to be for us to be competitive without overbidding (and this was on a house that had essentially no relevant comps). Tuan helped us navigate the bidding process masterfully, and we were very happy with the end result. The process of buying a home in the Bay Area is not an easy one, and you want the best agent you can get by your side. We interviewed numerous agents both off of personal recommendations and reviews, and worked with another highly rated agent, and Tuan is the best agent we encountered. Tuan's knowledge and contacts help him give his clients the best shot at putting in the right offer under the right conditions, and his work ethic makes sure that he does whatever possible to win his clients the house. And Tuan's relationship with his clients does not end after you close on a house. He is still someone that we regularly go to for advice and recommendations, and feel lucky to call our friend. Even two years after we closed, when we went to refinance, Tuan was there to help us prepare for the appraisal and offer advice on how best to get the appraisal number that we needed (even offering to personally meet the appraiser at our house). Buying a house is one of the biggest financial and personal decisions many of us will ever make, but Tuan is someone that you can trust to help you every step of the way. The only thing we regret about Tuan as our agent is that we did not come to him sooner! read more

Just one liner - Stop looking further and give him a call. You will be doing yourself a favor. *He is extremely prompt with follow-ups, queries etc. *Good Listener *Never pushy *He has appraisal background and will guide you correctly. *Knowledgeable about loan procedure. *Makes you feel you are his only client! We are first time clueless buyers and had all kind of questions. He explains all options with their pros and cons. Also, he proactively follows up with all the other parties involved. Most likely he would have already contacted and have answers ready from your loan officer/appraiser/seller agent etc for the questions you would have. He is meticulous and prompt in all dealings. And his lively, casual persona is the cherry on top! Home-buying can be very stressful. Tuan will make it fun! read more

Tuan was extremely responsive and helpful. I look forward to being able to work with him in the future.

"Tuan Tran" is "the man" you want to have your friend, as your realtor and as your guide in this tough market. We were buying a home on sale by owner and Tuan helped us execute the transaction. Mind you he was neither a full buyer's agent nor a full seller's agent (meaning he wasn't getting $$$$$ in commission that usual buyer/seller agent would get). But he gave us an outstanding realtor service that was far exceeding than a buyer agent we had in the past. Tuan shows up on time, he answers your calls/texts in seconds, is a highly empathetic and shrewd agent and is very honest and upfront. We love his straightforwardness. We were first time home buyers and he spent hours with us explaining the contracts terms, went in detail through each inspection reports, gave us recommendations for every single task we needed - remodeling contractors, HVAC people, engineers, lenders and so on. Every phone call or meeting we have had with him, he has given his 100%! In this tough real estate, we learnt a lot. Don't get fooled by the fact that you need to hire a fancy big company agent. Tuan comes from a modest background and has built his empire with hard work. He understands the value of your hard earned money and hence he fights for you, stands by you and you can trust him 100%. Even after our house was closed, few months later there was a roadblock in our remodel and we didn't know what to do. I called Tuan and in writhing few minutes he was on his way to meet us at our home and sat down and discussed the game plan. He came again, dealt with our contractor and the process and helped us genuinely as a friend. We got so fortunate to have found him and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a realtor and would hire him without a doubt for all future needs. read more

Just the facts. We had this initial conversation over the phone: Me: " [...] I'm interested in buying a house that's a good investment, if possible" Him: "Ha ha ha. WELL if you wanted to make a good investment, why didn't you buy a house 2-3 years ago???" DAMN! Thanks for pointing that out! WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT FIRST!! I'm going to go out and buy a house 2-3 years ago right now!! Score for useless, condescending, candid comments! After asking some further questions (such as my budget, which is small) he asked me to send him my contact information, which I did. It's been a week; no response. Pretty rude. read more

We were very blessed to have been referred to Tuan from a friend. Tuan took the time to really work with us to find our perfect home! As first time buyers, we were new to the whole process and very nervous about everything. We had many questions and Tuan stood by our side the whole way to make sure everything was easy as possible for us. He took the time to be readily available at all times to accommodate us the entire way. It took us 3 months to find our home and we couldn't imagine the process being any smoother. Tuan was more like a friend than an agent. He was our advocate and made sure we received the best services. He never pushed or persuaded us in any way and let us make our decisions while giving us facts and information on each home telling us his honest opinions. Tuan pointed out flaws in homes that we were not able to see with our own eyes, he pointed out cracks in the foundation and warned us about heavy traffic areas. We appreciated all of his tips and information since we are still new to San Jose. Even now that we are settled into our home, Tuan is still helpful with suggestions and referrals for all our home needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Tuan to anyone looking to buy a home. read more

We just bought our first home with Tuan's help, and we couldn't be happier with the agent we chose. We heard of Tuan through a friend, who then recommended I read reviews about him first. Everyone has a friend of a friend who is a real estate agent, but if you're lucky enough to be reading this you should atleast give Tuan a chance. Tuan will alleviate your fears about agents very quickly. He steered us away from trouble many times over, and never once tried to talk us into making an offer. He would only give his honest advice when we asked for it, but otherwise stayed neutral and laid out the facts for us. He was extremely patient, explaining everything we needed to know as first time buyers, and very hard working. Tuan fought to get us our best interest rates and even pointed out faults on the escrow papers that saved us money (without benefit to himself). He is easy to get a hold of, and we never felt we had to 'wait on' him, but rather were waiting on responses from other agents or consultants. If you are looking for an honest, hard working agent that will not try to pressure you, then you should give Tuan a shot to see if he fits your needs. read more

I met Tuan through my sister and loved how easygoing and personable he is. We originally wanted to sell our house over a year ago but with a toddler and dogs we weren't sure how we could even keep our place clean and presentable for prospective buyers. We waited for a whole year and ended up moving into my parents' so we can start the process. Tuan met us over a year ago and was kind enough to come back out to meet us again cuz we were forrealz this time around. He gave us lots of advice and was so good at keeping us on our toes throughout the process. He went wayyyyy above and beyond his duties as an agent to help us get our house sold. Our house sold in 6 days, closed in 30 days. We couldn't be happier! He made sure to keep the buyers n their agent on their toes so things would go smoothly. We cannot ask for a better agent and now he's tasked with finding us a house. Tuan is def the best. Look no further! read more

I was intimidated by the house hunting and the loan processes, but that was before I met Tuan. Buying our first home was a major deal for my wife and me, but he made us feel comfortable by helping us make the right choices. Tuan was very generous with his time, even when we needed him at last minute, and was always ready to answer our many questions. There's not really much for me to write about Tuan because everyone has described Tuan exactly as I would. My wife and I had been searching for an agent and a house for four years, when we met Tuan, our search for both ended. He is highly recommended. read more

I never wrote a review on Yelp before, but I have to do it this time for Tuan because he is the best realtor in the bay area. Buying a home was never an easy process but with Tuan's help, I actually enjoyed it. I was a first time home buyer started the process in March. During our first meeting, I already learned a lot about the real estate world from Tuan. Tuan walked me through every single step and made the process as smooth as possible. Tuan introduced me to a few loan officers, inspectors, and contractors, and they are the best people out there. Tuan was always available whenever I needed him. With Tuan's help, I was able to find my dream home in two months and closed within 14 days. I can not thank Tuan enough for everything he has done. If you are looking to buy or sell a house, I strongly recommend you to talk to Tuan first, and I am sure you won't regret. read more

Tuan D Tran - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Jose, California

My husband and I were ready to sell our house and then we were not (2 months later) then we were (4 years later). Both times when we were ready not once did Tuan hesitate to give us all the facts and keep a positive attitude. When we were finally really ready to sell our house we were torn between choosing him and another realtor who was a family friend. Tuan suggested that we interview both and we were so glad that he did. We truly felt that Tuan was in it to win it for us while the family friend was acting more like they were doing us a favor (when they were still going to take the typical commission). He helped us be mindful of what upgrades would make sense and which ones wouldn't. He helped handle all the ins and outs of the upgrades as well as continue giving us updates. All the quotes were all over the place and Tuan helped us really narrow down to who was truly the best fit for the job and timeline. The folks he selected were professional and he made it all happen around our schedule (even if it was not ideal for the folks that were contracted) since we wanted to get it done in a short time period. Tuan was a fantastic business partner during this pivotal point in our lives and we won't be hesitating to call him when we are ready to move again. read more

Tuan is AWESOME! First of all, i'm a simple guy and not impressed with fancy stuff & I appreciate when I work with "genuine" people. I've worked with previous realtors with our first home and was not impressed with their style. Everything was about making a commission and not about what was right for my family. My sister in law referred us to Tuan and the first time I met him I knew right away he was our guy. Our first meeting, Tuan showed up in flip flops and gave us the typical "realtor" talk. He was straight up and he didn't seem to care about fancy suits and I was very impressed with his knowledge of the market. So, i'm a veteran and was using my VA home loan benefit which in my opinion is the best program out there. 100% guaranteed loan with NO down payment and with NO PMI insurance! The only problem with the VA loan is that VA inspectors are real meticulous about the condition of the home that sometimes escrow takes up to three months to close as opposed to other traditional loans that usually closes in about a month. Because of that, Realtors/Sellers usually pass up bids from buyers with VA loans. We put in several bids on different houses. Despite not getting into contract, Tuan continued to help us search and submit other offers. It got to the point where I would find a home, contact Tuan, and Tuan would quickly do the research and write up the offer and have it ready immediately. I even bothered Tuan early in the morning and he stayed on the phone with me as he researched and typed up offers while his kids were sleeping right next to him. It was hilarious because he had to whisper the whole time we were on the phone. With all our hard work, we ended up getting into contract and purchased a beautiful home. There's a thousand realtors out there. We got lucky and found one that's a decent person that knows the true meaning of being a realtor. Thanks for all of your help bro!. read more

I recently sold my house through Tuan and I can honestly say that he is probably the best agent I have worked with. He has high integrity and also able to understand and listen to you and give you sound advice. The whole process was made so easy by Tuan even though it involved quite a bit of work for him. I will recommend him to all my friends and relatives in a heart beat ! read more
