What Past Clients Have To Say About Our Service In their Own Words?

 Success Stories:

Buying your dream home is not easy. With your limited budget, it is even harder. However, if you find the right real estate agent who can take care of you personally and financially, it can be a different story. If you want to know the different story of buying the dreamed home is such a fun, let me share with you mine. I just graduated and worked at my company for one year. Obviously, buying a home is a joke for me. As we all know, entry-level professionals may make decent salary. But, accordingly to the Santa Clara City income standard, the entry-level salary is still considered as lower income category. I met Alex through a good friend of mine. At the time, I am not sure myself that I could afford of buying the house. Fortunately, Alex took his precious time and explained me patiently what loan opinions are available. Personally, I believe that you need a real estate agent who is not only good at finding a good deal for your future home but also good at financial planning. I endorse Alex as 2-in-1 real estate agent because he is not only a good agent who can help you get the best deal on the purchase price but also a good financial adviser who can guide you to get the best loan and also make sure to save every penny for you. I still remember that I am thinking it is like one of those wonderful advertisements on radio when he told me that I can qualify for the Santa Clara City loan of $75,000 with 0% APR for 5 years. But now, I can tell you that 0% APR is true and real because I have the loan with the term and conditions exactly the same as promised by Alex. Now with that interest saving of 5 years from the loan, I could even have a brand-new car. Thanks Alex. You help me not only buy my dream home but also save my money to buy my dream car. I feel such a privilege to have you as my agent. The every step of the process is such a great experience for me because you provided 110% customer service and attention to me. Thank you for everything from the point that you took your time to explain me the details of the process to the point that you are being with me at the Title company to eliminate /correct charges by escrow & city etc,  when we are closing the escrow.

PS: Special thanks to Yuchi for helping along the process.

Considering one of my traits to be a perfectionist, looking for a perfect home for me was not an easy procedure at all. I have been thinking about getting one for years, yet I was completely clueless and lost in the middle of the packed market of real estate. Then it was one of the realtors I know, Alex, who guided me through the whole process of house hunting. Sometimes we would use our lunch time to go house by house, and it was just not two or three that we saw, but a whole lot more. He patiently took me to every house he thought would suit me best, given several criteria of a house I have in mind that I have told him.

His honest opinions about the houses are very helpful toward my final decision of making a purchase. A house is sure a big deal for everyone, and I could only trust him for his vast knowledge in this specialty. I was doing the right thing. I am now completely satisfied living in a KB brand new house with all the criteria I have specified before. And even better, it is within my budget range. It did not end there, as he still helps me with all the amount of paperwork I had to do regarding the purchase. Alex successfully negotiated “large sum” amount off the  KB home’s Builder  So called Fix Selling  prices & even managed to increase  the Builder’s Incentives for my deal at the end. I also got down payment assistance  & closing cost helps with government loan he negotiated together with my home purchase.  I highly recommend him to everyone who seeks professional, yet incredibly friendly service.

Good Real Estate services are hard to find, and we are glad to say that we found ours in our second time around – After discouraging results & experiences working with our 1st agent ,my co-worker introduce us to Alex. Alex and Yuchi gave us such a wonderful first time home buying experience that I would pay money from my own pocket just to experience their service level & recommend them to all others who are first time home buyers or buying for investment. We worked with them for more then one year but never found anything less than encouraging with their services nor we found them pushy with our decisions. Their technical know how of the real estate market or their guidelines and recommendation for finding the best possible house within our price limits and Guess what we finally bought? A single family residence  which I never thought would have been possible without Alex and Yuchi's help. They found us such a good deal  Foreclosed ,   Bank Owned  home  which save us Ten’s of thousands compare to other similar homes in Area and enable us to buy a single family home instead of  town home as we initially intended. Alex also  got us the  Non-profit loan with no PMI, yet only needed little down payment from us.  Without any hesitation I would say that you are in good hands of Alex and Yuchi when it comes to buying your dream house.

Thanks,

It was a pure coincidence meeting Alex while house hunting and what a blessing it truly is. Buying a house for the first time can be an intimidating feat and we wanted to make sure we had done our homework properly and with Alex, we had proper guidance, resource in knowledge of everything regarding purchasing a home and we get to make a great new friend. From day one, Alex was there all the way till we signed our escrow and he even came with us to the signing off place, arrived earlier than us, read through all the documents and make sure there's no discrepancies ( Alex did find some inaccuracies done by the title company and the new-home builder and corrected them and on top of that he managed to get us back a significant amount of money through his excellence bargaining forte from new Home Builder).
 
Alex is always thorough in his explanation and is willing to work with you according to your financial ability, advising you what is best for you depending on your individual case basis and is never pressuring you to take the easy way out. We are very grateful for everything that he has done for us and trust me, there was some complicated situations that arose from the work inefficiency of the builder's assigned lender and Alex was always there to fight for our right and to straightened things out for us. Basically the process of purchasing this house had been an easy ride for us because Alex was always there in our place to smooth every complex situations. We will definitely recommend him to all our friends who are in the process of purchasing their first homes and in the future we will definitely ask him to represent us again when we are moving to a bigger house or buying another property for investment purposes.
 
Alex, you are not our real estate agent but you are one of our treasured friends. The experience we have with you through purchasing this house has been a very pleasant one and we enjoy working with you. Once again thank you.

As people who believe in karma, I and my wife strongly believe meeting Alex and his team has to be due to some sort of a good deed we did in the past. It was one of the serendipitous moments when we first met Alex and his team and we were immediately impressed how professional, friendly and helpful they were. Even though we had the idea of buying a house we were very reluctant at first since there were so many unknowns. Luckily we met Alex consulting team and they started guiding us the right direction like parents would guide their children.

When we decided we want to buy a house we talked to few agents whom numbers we got from the phone book. We later met with an agent and she instructed us to go to an open house to have a look at a property, and as first time home buyers that was all the help we got from her that day. But little that we knew our real friends in real estate were awaiting us the next door to the open house we were supposed to go. Just out of curiosity we dropped in to the next door and it was another open house done by Alex. As we spoke, Alex explained us lot of things we may not have otherwise known about first time home buying. We were really impressed and encouraged by the information they provided. As a good friend they instructed us what we need to do first and on the way home from that open house I and my wife decided this is the person we want to get assistance from when we buy a house.

To be honest, when we first met Alex on that auspicious day we were in no shape to own a property in the bay area in terms of finance. But thanks to their advices, we started moving closer and closer towards that dream day by day. After we fulfilled Alex's first recommendations, we contacted them again. To our greatest surprise, he remembered us after about 6 months by our names.After that Alex explained us number of options available for first time buyers and started finding properties to match our requirements. I think it’s got to be the most difficult part of their job, finding properties that match requirements of such a picky couple like us. Undeterred by our constant rejection of the properties we looked at, they continued to search for the ideal home that suits us. I must admit, their preparation before showing us a property, the amount of information they present to us about the property, the amount of research they put into it, is simply amazing. Sometimes we felt like they were exclusively serving us. Despite their extremely busy schedules they always had time for us (and often for our ridiculous questions as first time buyers).Few months ago Alex's team finally managed to find the place we really want to call home. For a moment we thought that’s the end of their job, but that was just the beginning. From the time we placed our order, they began liaising with the loan agent the builder appointed us. Even the loan agent was impressed how professional and knowledgeable they are. Currently we are in the final phases of getting into the right loan program for us and it’s been a smooth process from day one thanks to the hard work of Alex's team.We truly consider Alex and his team as our best friend and the bond we built between us during past few months will last our lifetime. Second only to finding our dream home, meeting them is the best thing happened to us during our search of the American dream. We wish Alex's team the best as they truly deserve it.

As 1st time home-buyer, with limited knowledge of the real-estate industry, all I wanted was to make sure someone would accept my offer to purchase a home. I found a home I liked off Craigslist. I set up an appointment with the listing agent, and although it was a nice place, Alex's Consultant Team wanted to give me a comparison of other similar homes. I ended up liking a different one they showed me and not the one they are listing, but they gave me plenty of knowledge of what to keep an eye out for when purchasing a home. So to make the story short, they became my buyer's agent and represented me when obtaining my first home. At the time, it was a really competitive market and the bidding wars were present, they knew exactly how much to offer, that was still in my budget, and allowed me to win! I purchased my 1st home. It was an extensive process to go through, but I definitely couldn't do it without their guidance. Plus, they found me such an unbeatable mortgage rate. They truly are a leading customer orientated team. Thanks for the continued service and answering all my questions at any time!

Alex and his team have been my great real estate consultants. I’ve been investing real estate for more than four years and each transaction I made with them was a very successful one. I met them in year 2004 when I was looking to sell my condo in San Jose. After talking with several realtors, not only was I confused about the market situation, but I also got more stressful in dealing with these agents who seemed to look after their interest more than mine. One of my friends recommended me to give Alex a call. We had a great meeting in that evening and I decided to give Alex a try to sell my condo. Within 2 weeks, my condo was SOLD above the Asking Price. The whole transaction went very smooth and efficient. It was such an rewarding experience.

 

From that point on, Alex's team have become my real estate consultant for my real estate investment needs. Through their network and connection, I bought another investment property in Texas, which generates me Positive Cash-Flow every single month. Few months later, they sold another Triplex for me again with full listing price within ONE month. Just few months ago, Alex help me locate and close a below market deal and we are in process of selling it. After the deal is closed, they will help me to get into commercial real estate investing in San Jose area.

 

After working with dozens of agents in last several years, I learn that a great one 1) should always have exceptional negotiation skill to help your position in buying or selling, 2) is creative to solve problems, 3) most importantly, look after your interest (bottom line) and work with you with HEART to build long term relationship. They score A+ in all three areas! I ‘d highly recommend Alex's team to everyone I know for any real estate needs and advise.

Alex's Consultant Team was fantastic. Their service and attention to detail is first-class. They walked me through every document in detail, so I knew they were protecting my interest throughout the entire process. I've worked with other agents in the past, and I can tell you that they definitely went the extra mile for their clients. Also, their knowledge of first-time buyer loan programs is tremendous - they came up with a set of below-market rate loans that ultimately helped me afford the ideal home. I would recommend them to anyone I know.

I was looking to buy my first home in Spring of 2005 in order to get ready for my wedding in the summer! I had no idea what price range I was looking for and had no idea how home mortgage works. With the busy work life in Silicon Valley, it meant that I needed some help.

At first, I was referred to other real estate agents by friends from a local church. That real estate agent referred me to her loan agent, and we started the home hunting journey. We spent a lot of time visiting different places that wouldn't quite fit what I was looking for. At the same time, the phone would keep ringing the loan agent. It was "paper-this", "fax-that" type of game for the longest time I could imagine. After three months of arduous work without success, I was about to give up and might have settled down with just renting for the time being.

Fortunately, my fiancée referred me to Alex and his team. At first, the idea of dealing with yet another Realtor made me hesitate abit, but I decided to give it one more try. To my surprise, they were more than Realtors, they thoroughly understand the every aspect of financing available and all the property requirements for those special financing programs at the same time. They started helping me by first understanding what kind of house we were looking for. They did not throw me to the another loan agent instead they took the time to educate me all the different choices & benefits of home mortgages available.


They took the time to explore the existing incentives for first-time home buyers, as well as the strategies involved to secure the lowest loan rate possible. As a result, we were able to secure a Government backed 30-yearloan fixed rate of 4.25% ! This really helped me buying the new housebecause it meant higher purchasing power.


Since Alex’s team understood what type of house we were looking for, the hunting experience wasn't like shooting in the dark. We visited only a few places, and quickly found our place of choice. After agreeing on the price, we quickly closed the deal without much hassle.

They are friendly and professional in all aspects of the home purchasing experience. Now, when my other friends are going through the pain of Real estate + loan agents, I would take out Alex's business cards from my wallet and refer them to him! Cheers.

I like your team's no-non sense approach, I wish all Real Estate professionals in the field are like you folks. I have worked with Alex's team for both buying and selling of my past two homes, in state as well as out of state. Their unparallel knowledge of investment and analyzing the situation to get the big picture always helps me with picking out the correct choices. Whether it is about choosing which home is right for my family or which financing I should take, or even whether I should invest in real estate at all, they have always been able to give me great guidance. Thank you guys!

My sister-in-law gave me Alex's contact information when we started looking for our first home. His team were very professional and efficient. In a very short time, we were pre-approved for an excellent loan that is exclusive for first-time home buyers. In just few more weeks, we found our home and closed the deal. Since we didn't have any experience in the real estate business, They were very helpful in walking with us through the entire process.

I met Alex at my friend's place who had purchased home through him. My friend had already mentioned about all the great service he received from Alex to materialize his home purchase dream. Though I was working at that time with a different realtor and mortgage broker, Alex  heard my situation and provided professional guidance that enabled me to make decisions resulting in my home purchase with the excellent government loan. Alex spent lot of time providing information and suggestions. Even after the purchase of home, he helped with many of the issues that arise after home purchase such as home improvement and remodeling issues etc. The dedication and professionalism is exceptional that separates Alex from average realtors. He provides services ranging from home purchase to home loans that many realtors/loan officers don't even mention. We can't thank Alex enough for all his professional help.

Our story is unique. My husband and I have always dreamed of a beautiful home where we could raise our family and grow old together. Accomplishing this goal, however, right after our graduation from college had proven to be a tremendous financial challenge here in Silicon Valley. In addition, after interviewing a number of different real estate agents, my husband and I realized that one of our greatest challenges in purchasing the home would be finding the team that would truly represent our interests.

After meeting with Alex's team we knew right away they would help us to make the process a true success. Not only did they know and had lots of experience with some of the most competitive mortgage loans on the market, they offered us their full support, personal interest and lots of patience while making life altering decisions.

Although we initially decided to postpone the purchase of our home, they have continued to stay in touch with us, offered their assistance as well as personal advise on numerous occasions and provided updates on the local real estate market.

Alex's team deserve our highest and strongest recommendation. They are truly dedicated, hard working, knowledgeable, patient, energetic, and most importantly, ethical professionals.

Alex had successfully sold my brother's Cupertino house previously. Through that experience I already knew Alex team's quality of work. They are very professional and pay meticulous attention to all the details. From planning the pricing strategy to beautifully decorating and staging my house for shown at its best. Alex's team really treated my property with care and all the potential buyers sincerely. I still vividly remembered how he carefully move all the plants and decorated my balcony as a little cozy garden. I really don't know how to appreciate his efforts in making my house a top dollar home in the neighborhood. During that time, there were 3 or 4 other similar units selling at the same time in my neighborhood and competition was fierce. We were worried about the market condition. However, through their professional marketing, pricing strategy and creative negotiation, I managed to sell my house with highest $$ per square feet in the complex. The best part is I listed my home  the last among all the competing units; yet, my unit was the first to sell with full asking price. I am very happy with their service. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone who is thinking of buying or selling their real estate with Alex's team. In fact, I had recommended Alex's team to two other friends of mine who needed to sell their home: one in Fremont and another in San Jose-Cupertino. Again, not to my surprise, both my friends were also very happy with the end results they got, working with Alex's Real Estate team. In my opinion, if you want a honest Realtor team who will deliver their promises and over-achieve their goals, I would say work with Alex Real Estate team. Thank you, you guys!  

~ Amanda (Newark)

I am glad to work with Alex and his team. I was able to buy my first investment property in Texas last year with their help.  I mentioned to Alex about I was interested in investing real estate but I only had limited budget and yet still wanted to make money from the investment.  As being an investor himself, Alex knew exactly where I needed to invest in order to get cash flow, tenants, appreciation from the property and provided me with the reasons why that place is a good place to invest and explained with examples. Alex and his team went extra miles not only for the transaction going smoothly but also guided me to get tenants right after closing the deal. He negotiated terms and condition with the property manager, created rental ads for me, posted rent ads, etc. in order to get good tenants. All I needed to do was read the agreements which Alex negotiated, signe and return to him and everything was set. Working with Alex and his team is pleasant and enjoyable experiences because of their extraordinary knowledge and support in real estate business and also their team friendliness, kindness that will make you feel "I am the only one they have been focusing on".  They give time to talk and answer any questions and concerns that I have regardless how busy they are.  *** Their clients are their number one priority ***
