"First I want to thanks for all the efforts that Chao has made to help us buy our house in the West San Jose, with a great deal in the hot market. We had been contacting with Chao since mid-2019 before we moved to the Bay Area, and we were considering to buy a house but knew very little about the Bay. Chao was very patient and knowledgeable to answer all our questions about the community, neighborhood, schools and traffic of each area that we were considering. We moved to the Bay at the end of 2019 and aimed to purchase a house by the end of 2020. And then the Covid broke out in March and after working from home with a toddler in an apartment for a while, our desire to buy a house with a yard was stronger. However, so many people share the same thoughts with us. With so many potential buyers and such limited supply in the market, the bidding war was very intense. We started to tour in June and there were so few houses with fair conditions on the market (especially west SJ), and every time when there was an OKAY house, the seller would be able to receive multiple offers to sell the house at a very high price. After observing for about a month and watching the bidding war, we kinda lost our confidence in buying a house with our limited budget, however Chao still kept his patience and professionalism to tour every single new house in the market, AND he would analyze the pros and cons of each house and NEVER pushed us to offer or bid. For the houses that we showed interest, he always communicated with listing agencies to collect more information and helped us go through the disclosures. I was very impressed with his work. Finally right before the Labor Day there were a few houses on the market in the same price range, Chao thought it was a great opportunity for us ā€” AND HE WAS RIGHT. With his communication strategies, we finally heard good news AND we were not even the highest offer. The house we finally bought is in a better condition than most of the other houses we toured, and the price is much LOWER! We couldnā€™t be more happier. All of this couldnā€™t come true with Chaoā€™s help. I sincerely recommend him to everyone who is consistently buying a house in the Bay Area. Definitely the best agent in the area!!"

"Chao is professional, patient, and capable. I found his articles about new constructions in the bay area and was impressed by his data-driven analysis and insights. It was obvious he didn't copy and paste content from somewhere else, so I decided to give him a call to learn more about the trends. He analyzed our situation and came up with a plan. Later, we executed the plan well and found a place we love. During the offering stage, Chao demonstrated his outstanding negotiation skills. The strategy and pricing he proposed led us to a huge win. (48K lower than seller's listing price!!!) As the first-time buyer, the whole process was a mysterious box. Chao streamlined the process without losing attention to details and strategic thinking on the trends in particular areas. During the closing stage, there was some unexpected delay on the window fixing. Chao communicated with the seller agent efficiently so that we closed the transaction as planned. Overall, Chao is an amazing real estate agent with professional attitude and business acumen. When I look back on this experience of purchasing, he never pushed me to offer a high price. Instead, he always actively listened and analyzed the holistic situation, and then proposed a fair price. As the ending of my comments: You canā€™t go wrong with this gentleman."

"We originally planned to buy a new construction home and just need an agent to help us write up simple offer, so we contacted Chao. Eventually we changed our search scope to be resale homes in one of the most competitive area in Bay Area (Palo Alto/Menlo Park/Los Altos) and we were lucky that Chao was our agent. Chao is very professional, he doesn't push but does the homework thus the properties he shared with us were all spot on. When we decided to make an offer in just two weeks we started search, Chao answered all our questions promptly, and stayed up till 2am to prepare the offer to ensure it submitted for offer review timely. He provided great tactics to strengthen our offer but not over bid. He also has strong negotiation skills that helped our offer won and the negotiation with seller later as the situation changed dramatically after coronavirus spread in the U.S. He went to the house to walk through for us via video when we didn't want the whole family including two young children all going out in the 2nd week of shelter-in-place. Chao works hard and always responds immediately. He knows the South Bay market very well and has tremendous expertise and resource. Through our experience with Chao, we feel that he genuinely cares about his clients and always puts his clients needs at top priority. Strongly recommended!"

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We never thought about our first home purchasing experience can be this smooth. I'm saying this because prior to Chao, we worked with another agent who was not very knowledgeable and he was simply asking us to make offer for no good reason. We felt unconfortable so we decided to find someone else, then after talking with Chao for a couple times, we decided to work with him. Unlike the previous agent, Chao is very knowledgeable, and has precise sense of the market. We had been touring houses for months but Chao never pushed us. At last we found our dream home and decided to make a preemptive offer for it, there were other people making such offers too, but fortunately we had Chao and with slight edge over other people, we won the house. We're very happy with this pruchase, what's even better is that after closing, we can always reach Chao and ask him any questions. We trust him a lot and we'll defenitely recommand him to our friends."

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We came to know Chao through a friendā€™s referral. Chao helped us land on our dream home. He is very detailed oriented, very responsive, deeply knowledgeable in every aspect of the real estate market in the bay area. He found an exact match for all our requirements and quickly reached out to us with details and bidding strategies that turned out to be highly effective. He always encouraged us to be patient and wait for the right time to place our bid. In this competitive market, he gave us the confidence to not to worry about the home buying process by explaining everything clear and simple and helped us through every step, making the process simple, pleasant and efficient. Overall we had an extraordinary home buying experience, I highly recommend him."
