Chia was absolutely amazing to work with. Selling my condo was a painfully long journey with many unexpected hiccups prior to closing. Chia went above and beyond to handle the complicated situation and took the stress off my shoulders by staying on top of everything. She was extremely patient, thorough and professional every step of the way. I almost cried when I saw the care she and her team put in to stage and market my condo. I honestly cant imagine working with a better agent. Would give her 10 stars if I could!

My husband and I are first-time home buyers and we felt very lucky to have Chia as our agent. She walked us through the whole process of buying a property when the first time we met so we were able to have a clear idea of the timeline and started our financial preparation at an early stage. In the process of targeting our preferred areas, she provided us housing market updates and her experience of the market nature for the areas we were interested in. Because of all these preparation and study beforehand, when we felt we were ready to actively looking for houses, it took us only 1 week to get mortgage pre-approval and 3 weeks to make an offer to an ideal house. Chia was always patient to explain anything in details and was prompt to answer any questions we had. Most importantly, she had a good negotiation skill when it comes to making an offer. I highly recommend anyone who is thinking of buying a house or in the process of looking for a house to contact Chia. I am sure you will have a pleasant experience working with her.

As a first-time home buyer, I had an amazing experience working with Chia! She was very patient with all my beginners questions and provided very clear and detailed answers, always making sure that I was satisfied with all the information she provided. She had no problems spending time educating me about the process (the good and the bad aspects) and ensuring that I had as accurate expectations as possible. I felt very comfortable working with her thanks to her clear communication, prompt responses, and outstanding organization. She was always on top of things and reachable whenever I needed a consultation or clarification. Her commitment went above and beyond all expectations as we had the peculiar case of putting out an offer while both of us were on our respective holiday trips! This was the winning offer and just shy of 2 months of searching seriously! Chias ability to adjust her style according to my needs (needing more details vs. coping with the emotional rollercoaster) was key in keeping me sane and highly motivated throughout the entire process. I never felt pressured into taking any steps or making any decisions as Chia provided me with all the information I needed/wanted, let me digest it, and allowed me to comfortably make well-informed decisions. My main criteria when searching for an agent was someone who I could trust; from the very first meeting, talking to Chia made me feel like she was honest, professional, and transparent. I highly recommend Chia to anyone in need of a real estate agent. I will surely contact her again the next time I'm on either side of the market.

Chia was highly recommended to us by our financial advisor, so truth be told, we had little idea of what she was like as a realtor before we met her, just that someone we deeply trusted also trusted her. But as soon as we met her, we realized we had the right realtor! Chia was perfect for directing our attention to the things that mattered and keeping us on track. She picked us up, dusted us off, and urged us back into the hunt for the perfect house each time one got away or we had a setback. As we found homes we were interested in, her ability to connect with sellers and their realtors clearly saved us tons of grief and time. The best realtors are clearly folk who care about homes and houses, and care about people, and Chia is a shining example of the best. Highly recommended.

Chia just helped us buy our first home !We - my wife, Vanessa, and I - are pretty detail oriented. We decided in Oct 2017, that we would be in a position to enter the house market in Jan-2018.As part of the research, we set up interviews with 4 realtors. I must admit that the Bay Area has some wonderfully qualified realtors and our research on all of them was very good.It took us a week to talk through all the agents. After we spoke to Chia, it took us a look to each other to know that Chia was going to be our realtor. I felt bad for the other 2 (1 of them was a no-no right away), but they understood (when I informed them of our decision). Vanessa and I were stoked about having Chia represent us.This is what we were looking for:1. Experience - We wanted a realtor with experience in our interested locations. Chia has 11 years in the Bay area and had sales in the peninsula and south bay.2. Upfront and communicative - We were very clear of wanting a person who would call a spade a spade. This was very important for us. Our first house is probably going to be our biggest financial commitment. We needed someone would not be intimidated with our emotions. We got a lot of pointers during our interview and further during our bidding process, which confirmed our needs. Chia is very direct, and at the same time courteous, about bringing up realities. The first house that we bid on, we bid on the lower end of her range. She let us know - in a nice way - that we would have competition and prepped us to be ok with a reject. We did get rejected but she is prepped us well.3. A teacher - We were new to the house buying process. We needed a patient realtor who would answer all our questions, direct our buying process and educate us about what is going on and what needs to happen. Chia did all of that and more. I have now started advicing folks at work on what to look out for and what are the processes involved.4. Execution - I would grade Chia an A for this. Chia is a type-A person; very punctual, always on top of things and is always has a plan A, B and C up her sleeve (I observed this when my lender had a bureaucratic delay. She lined up another lender and asked me to consult them as a backup). I am a type-A too and loved how she worked. We were very confident on Chia's decisions. She always ran things by us, always reachable - text and call. She linked up with the Escrow and my lender and ensured that all of us worked as a team. She was actually the Delivery Manager - to borrow a work term - of our house buying "project".5. Patience - I believe courtesy is kind of a patience and I liked how Chia treated us and the folks at my lender and Escrow. She drove them - Escrow and Lending - hard but was very cordial and results driven while she did that. We were on top of our execution, so we did not give anyone the reason to be impatient, but I am sure, if we did, Chia would have called that out - in a good way of course - and aligned us towards getting the house.We are tremendously satisfied with our experience on buying a house with Chia. I would totally recommend her. I foresee her being very successful at her work. You would do good to choose Chia.- Vance.
