"My husband and I spent months searching for our dream home, but with no success. It was only when a friend reminded us of Kitty, a real estate professional we had met a few years back, that things began to turn around.

Kitty listened to our needs, and within two weeks, she found the perfect home for us.

She even went the extra mile, showing us the house late at night. With her support, we quickly entered into a contract.

Kitty didn't stop there; she connected us with a top-notch loan agent who worked tirelessly to secure our mortgage.
Throughout the process, Kitty's extensive knowledge, patience, and resourcefulness were a true asset.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kitty to our friends and family.

With her by your side, you'll have a dedicated and knowledgeable partner to make your real estate dreams a reality.

"Kitty is professional and knowledgeable. She explained the purchase process and hold your hands step by step with so much patience. We first mentioned wanting to buy in Foster City and then she showed us a lot more than Foster city and opened our mind to consider other cities. We wanted the flat area only in the beginning and then eventually we realized what exactly we are looking for after we had been seeing so many houses and exploring all different neighborhoods. She is pretty patient to show a lot of houses and neighborhoods to us. She was fast to action and helped us to get in contact as soon as possible. She worked so hard and connected with loan agents to help us to get a good rate. We got the perfect house with a fair price at the end. Our purchase journey is not a straightforward one and Kitty helped us to overcome one problem at a time throughout the whole process." - Emma Wang

"I will continue to reach out to Kitty for future purchases & sales, she is highly energetic, incredibly positive and resourceful. Kitty is outstanding at navigating the real estate market, takes the time to understand needs and wants, and works to secure the best possible outcomes.

Kitty helped us secure our first home and somehow managed to make the daunting task enjoyable. The only downside of having gone through this process is that we won't get to see Kitty as often, we started with a realtor and ended with a friend.

"Many thanks to Kitty for helping my husband and I purchase our first home! We have been looking at houses together since the beginning of the year, and with each house Kitty has been very patient in telling me the pros and cons of the house, which problems are easy to solve, and which problems are more complicated.
Kitty is extremely knowledgeable, from the structure of the house, the internal layout, future remodeling suggestions, to the surrounding environment, I learned a lot from Kitty every time talk to her. Later on, after we made an offer, Kitty also helped us to get the offer through her excellent negotiation and communication skills.
Kitty is very considerate and she always puts herself in the shoes of her clients. It was a wonderful experience working with Kitty. I would definitely recommend Kitty to my friends and relatives!

"I knew very little about buying a house, how the loan works, how to make an offer, how to be smart about selecting the right house, how to look at comparable properties sold, how the real estate laws and compliances apply, etc. Kitty is super knowledgeable and very patient in explaining things in an easy-to-understand manner. She guided me every step in the process. If this is your 1st time buying a home, Kitty can help make sense of it all. She cares that I find the right house that fits the price range, location and what I'm looking for. What makes Kitty a special agent is that she puts in the extra mile to make sure that I am satisfied. She made buying a house a fulfilling experience." - rhebok468

"We bought our house through Kitty back in 2019. If it wasn't for her help negotiating, we easily would have paid a lot more, if we were even able to get our house at all (it was the first offer she submitted for us). She has such a positive/"can do" attitude, and worked super hard to win this for us over the other bidders. Super easy to work with, very respectful of our time and unfamiliarity with the real estate markets, especially when we were trying to narrow down the best area (SF, Peninsula or South Bay) for us and our growing family. She's had so much experience in both living in and buying in all these areas, that it made it easy for us to find the right neighborhoods and the houses that'd meet our criteria before pulling the trigger." - SBayHomeowner

"Kitty is an excellent real estate agent. A friend of mine recommended her to me and we bought our first house through her. She is very patient and not pushy at all. She went through each and every document with us for every house we were interested in buying. We actually learned a lot from her in our house hunting journey. Highly recommend!!" - nkpk edt

"It's been a great pleasure working with Kitty. She had a great way of laying out the process and updating us on current trends in the market. She was very patience in showing many houses until we find the house which we liked. She has always been responsive, professional and go above and beyond to help me during open houses and buying. She is very detailed and pays attention to the smallest stuff. She takes care of everything from scheduling the appointments, going thru inspection reports. After making the offer she helps in scheduling the inspections, going thru the reports, there is not a single thing she will miss. Her coordination level is awesome, and she is truly an expert. Because of her we never felt the stress of buying a home. she always supports you in throughout the home buying process and even now we seek her guidance for remodeling. She is very knowledgeable, punctual, very positive and resourceful. We are really impressed with her quick responses and providing suggestions. She is very passionate about her work and very dedicated to her clients. It was truly a wonderful experience buying our home. We highly recommend Kitty !" - raju kanike

"I got to know Kitty since Sep. 2019 when my wife and I thought of buying a house in the San Jose area.
Kitty is very professional, responsive, and excellent in communications. She can quickly get the clients' needs, financial situation, knowledge level of real estate etc. and make a tailored proposal to meet the requirement. My wife and I had a one-hour chat the first time we met with Kitty. We were the first-time buyer with little knowledge of real estate and financing options and no clear goals of what kind of property to buy. My wife and I just gave her our budget and some vague ideas of what kind of properties we may be interested in. Kitty worked diligently to filter out 8 properties for us that night. And the second day, Kitty toured us around all those properties and explained the pros and cons of each one. Believe it or not, this tour was so critical that my wife and I immediately understood what we were looking for through the comparisons. What's more, we found out the property within a week that both my wife and I were happy with. And luckily, we made the deal the first time we submitted our offer. Kitty was the one to make this happen. I had to admit that a seller's agent was more likely to work with someone who made their life easier, which was enabled by Kitty's unparallel soft skills of communications and offer preparations. Kitty also got us the right price, which was even below what the seller asked.
My wife and I were so delighted to know Kitty that we have been friends since then. I also recommended Kitty to my other friends who were going to buy properties and they all got what they wanted by now. The feedback from my other friends are undoubtedly BEST AGENT EVER. I will certainly use or recommend Kitty again and again.

"Kitty helped us find and buy our first house in Bay Area. It was really nice working with her. She was always responsive and patient. We toured many houses together and Kitty can always list pros/cons of each one. She never pushed us and finally helped us find the appropriate house within our budget. I would definitely recommend her to our friends." - zhenhaoyizhou

"Finding and buying a house at the top of the market was not an easy task. Kitty was very professional, extremely kind, and made my stressful time finding a place that was right for me seamless. Kitty made it a real pleasure, as she took me through the process step by step, and it was amazing to see everything come together, and I was so very thankful for Kitty’s professional knowledge in the competitive California real estate market as well as her honesty, integrity, guidance, and support. Words cannot convey how much I appreciate Kitty’s expertise during the big decision of purchasing a new home. It felt daunting at the beginning, but she smoothed the way and explained everything clearly. Kitty is not only a fantastic realtor, she is also an excellent support system. ANYTIME there was a house I wanted to see, Kitty moved fast as houses were flying off the market. She negotiated and helped me to obtain the house of my dreams, working hard to make sure things like closing costs were fair. Kitty has a very effective network of connections, such as loan service, house cleaning, & inspections, which helped the deal closing significantly. Because of Kitty’s hard work, I now have a place to call my own home. I would highly recommend Kitty to anyone looking to purchase a home, you won’t regret it. Thorough, organized, honesty, dedicated and conscientious are words that describe Kitty." - Christine Zhang

"We clearly remember the first time we met Kitty was in the Cupertino’s open house. It was three years ago. We were impressed by her patience , sincerity and professionalism, which led us to invite her to be our agent right away. It turns out we made a wise decision and first impression can mean all for this case.
At the time of meeting Kitty, we just started to look for a house . We were not a first time buyer but we were still struggling with which area we should go for ,South Bay or peninsula and we were even not sure what our budget was. It took us almost one year to locate the house location after Kitty showed us bunch of houses in both areas. The first offer we placed was 1.5 years later. Then Pandemic came and house price kept going up, getting an satisfactory house seemed to be a dream fading away from us. Thanks to Kitty’s continuous efforts and incredible patience, we finally got what we were looking for after 3 years of house hunting.
During the three years working together with Kitty, We were never pushed to put the offer on the houses we had a concern with and were never asked to offer the price we were not comfortable with. Kitty even initiatively spent extra time looking around the neighborhood of the house we intended to put the offer on , then persuaded us to skip the house. We have to say Kitty is more like a friend and always put herself in our shoes , provided us the honest suggestion which was very precious in the competitive realtor business field. I believe her sincerity and honesty is the key for her to gain so much appreciation from her clients.
Kitty is a professional agent. She always can point out of the pros and cons of the house , which we might overlook. We also appreciate her good sense of realtor market, which helped us get the house with the appraisal price $100,000 more than offer price in the seller‘s market. Her expertise of transaction process let us feel so relieved. Our transaction was smoothly, successfully closed right on time.

We would highly recommend Kitty to our family and friends. We are convinced that her professionalism, her patience and sincerity will help her clients to get what they want.

She is responsive and takes care of all the documents carefully. It is a very happy experience working with Kitty to buy a house. I would recommend Kitty to anyone who wants to buy/sell a house." - register4huang

"We give Kitty our highest level of recommendation. She was the listing agent for our previous home in San Mateo. She started out by giving us great advice on what to do to make our house more attractive to buyers. From hiring contractors to addressing issues on our home inspection and termite reports, she took care of everything for us from start to finish. That saved us a lot of time and trouble! Our house was sold in 5 days on market and we credit this to her extensive knowledge of the market, networking and integrity- no corners were cut during the entire sale process. She's very responsive to phone calls and emails and always followed through on everything. Also, she went over and beyond her duties by providing us with information regarding transfer tax assessment even after we closed escrow. In our opinion, she's the best among the best as far as real estate agent is concerned and we were lucky to have worked with her!" - Tony & Teresa, Toyon Ct., San Mateo, Ca)

"We met Kitty at an open house. We asked for her help to find a good home for our family. She provided very competent advises on the locations with compelling school districts and we found our home in one of those locations. She assisted us through the buying process. The houses are so expensive nowadays. You want professional people around you when you commit to that process.
Even more challenging was the sell process which involved home improvements. She helped with a valuable contractor who did his work well, professionally, and on time. Kitty oversaw the whole home improvement from contractor, through carpet, cleaning and staging.
We sold our condo very recently. Kitty and Anson negotiated above asking prize and scrutinized the offer we received after the first open house.
