"Working with Lina Yang was a truly positive experience. Our transaction was quite challenging, with several unexpected hurdles along the way, but Lina remained calm, strategic, and highly professional throughout the entire process. There were moments when we honestly didn’t think the sale would go through—let alone at the price we were hoping for. However, Lina’s experience, thoughtful strategy, and steady guidance made all the difference. She navigated each challenge with patience and confidence, always keeping us informed and focused on the goal. Thanks to Lina’s persistence and expertise, the deal ultimately closed at the price we wanted. We’re incredibly grateful for her dedication and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and hardworking Realtor®."

"We met Lina at an open house while searching for our second home, and it was such a great experience working with her. We had been looking for about two years—so at this point we joked we were basically “professional house hunters.” We were very specific: a good school district for our kids and a home that truly fit our long-term needs. From the beginning, Lina stood out for her professionalism, market knowledge, and how well she understood what we were looking for. She was patient, responsive, and always gave honest, helpful advice, which made a long search feel much easier. In the end, with Lina’s help, we found a home we truly love. We couldn’t be happier. We would definitely recommend Lina to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy Realtor®."

"We first met Lina at an open house in the neighborhood. At the time, we weren’t looking for houses yet but quickly noticed Lina’s enthusiasm and passion as the seller’s agent. When we finally decided to start looking for our own house, she was the first Realtor® we wanted to work with. She is very patient, communicative, and straight forward with us throughout the whole process. For each house we were interested in, she provided thorough assessments of the pros/cons and professional estimate of each house value range. If we wanted to take additional tours of the house, she would work around our schedule to show us again and to answer any questions we had. The most difficult part of our purchase was the low inventory due to the high interest rates. After a few unsuccessful offers and next to no inventory, Lina personally reached out to all her Realtor® colleagues to find any off-market houses. She was able to find one that was on the process on getting to the market. We knew we had to move quick and we were able to successfully get our offer accepted. We honestly believe we would not have gotten such a great house if we had another agent. She single handedly made this transaction happen! We would highly recommend Lina to any buyer or seller, as she will work hard to get the best value for your transaction."

"It is not common for me to leave public reviews but I feel Lina and her team deserve a special one for the way she handled the sale of my beautiful house in Palo Alto. Not only she was respectful of my sometimes peculiar requests, but she has demonstrated a superpower and a commitment in her work comparable to the one expected in a member of a startup founding team.."

"Lina is excellent in every way possible. She is great at reading the market trend and providing insights on the market value of the property. Through years of experience she also understands seller psychology and buyer psychology well and her strategy for negotiation saved us a lot of money. Perhaps most important of all but sometimes undervalued is how she put her clients interests first. Through out our entire buying journey she never pushed us to make a higher offer to close the deal. She was patient and strategic. As a buyer, I couldn’t recommend her more.."

"My wife and I met Lina at one of her listings in Millbrae while we were exploring houses in SF/Peninsula. As a first-time buyer, we had little grasp on the housing market and all the nuances of purchasing a home. We chatted with 10+ Realtors®, but found it difficult to blindly place our trust on any individual having only chatted with each for a short period of time. What ultimately stood out about Lina was her care and dedication towards us. Lina was very eager to tour homes with us and would offer her honest opinions about what she liked/disliked. She was very adamant that we take our time before making an offer which reassured us that she prioritized our interests above all. Given our inexperience, we would fire questions aimlessly to try to understand as much as we can. Lina would not only answer the questions in a timely manner but she would spend extra time to educate us on what’s important. During the offer negotiations, Lina was 100% focused on getting us the best price while managing our expectations against other buyers. Lina worked tirelessly to follow-up with the listing agents and updated us on the offer (even though she was on vacation) to ensure that we get the house. Our offer was ultimately chosen at a price we’re comfortable with and we’re beyond excited to be moving in soon. After the offer stages, Lina did not falter and continued to provide the same level of diligence throughout. She provided us with all her connections and resources to find the best mortgage and insurance for the home. The home closed today and we’re grateful. As lucky as it was to close on the same day as our wedding anniversary, it was as lucky for us to have found Lina to guide us on our first home purchase."
