In the highly competitive Bay Area market for over fourteen years, beginning in 1998, I established and maintained my position as one of Coldwell Banker's top producing agents - International President's Premier top 1% Worldwide. I am now a broker/agent with Keller Williams Realty serving Palo Alto and the Bay Area. My office is located at 525 Hamilton Avenue in Palo Alto.

Lan is by far the best real estate agent I have ever worked with! From the very beginning, she demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the real estate market, guided me through every step of the process with ease and professionalism. With me in Southern CA and the property in San Jose, Lan worked tirelessly to prepare my house for sale and suggested improvements to enhance the appeal. What really stood out was her commitment to ensuring that I felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire transaction. My sincerest thanks to Lan and John for their hard work and dedication, everything went smoothly, and I am thrilled with the outcome.

I had the experience of buying and selling several investment properties in the Bay Area, and worked with several top notch realtors in the past. When I decided to sell my rental in Los Altos, I approached my past realtor, but found out that she retired. So she suggested that I contact Lan Bowling. I didnt think that Lan or anyone would match the credential of my last realtor, but Lan has proven to me beyond any doubt that she is simply the best to hire now. Lan Liu Bowling, with her team mate, John M. Chung, provided a top notch service. Immediately after I showed the property to Lan, she advised me on a plan on how to prepare the house for sale. She knew what kind of repairs and minor remodels would pay off, and which ones do not. Lan and John were willing to undertake any of the remodel supervision, to basically off load me, but being retired and having some of my own professionals who worked on my rental for decade, I handled some of the prep work by myself while Lan handled the rest. We jointly completed the house preparation on time on a very tight schedule and Lan took over to supervise the staging and handle the advertising. Her advertising was of top notch quality and generated a lot of interest. Through this stage, Lans vast network and connections was extremely valuable. She was very proactive, connecting with potential buyers. During the offers day, she worked the phone. She managed to flawlessly handle the communication with buyers agents and we had a contract in our hands that same day, in less than a week since the house was listed. She clearly demonstrated during the negotiations that she makes recommendations that purely represent my interests, and none of her own. Lan and John also made sure that every paperwork was handled meticulously and precisely, (as we say "all the t's were crossed and i's were dotted"). This was a key element in having the sale close escrow w/o leaving any room for hiccups, and to my full satisfaction. And last, Lan and Johns responsiveness was always prompt, and they mastered the art of knowledge how to collaborate with me as their client. In summary, Lan and John are simply the best agents to work with. I was so lucky and to have the opportunity of hiring them as my agents, representing me and selling my property.

The flawless reviews speak for themselves, but I can attest that working with Lan was a joy! We were first-time home buyers and looking in the Peninsula. Everything has been said before: her knowledge and experience is invaluable, she has recommendations for every type of contractor and vendor which has really helped us settle in to our new home, and she responds quickly to help keep your already-very-anxious nerves at ease. I think her greatest strengths, though, are her tremendous EQ and negotiating ability - every part of me believes that we would not have won our home without the relationship she built with the selling agent and her guidance for us throughout the process. I view Lan as a friend and will always root for her success :)

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lan Liu Bowling as my real estate buyer's agent, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. Initially, I worked with another agent who pushed me to offer hundreds of thousands more than what a property ultimately sold for. When I switched to Lan, the difference was astounding! Not only did she help me save hundreds of thousands of dollars, but she also ensured that we found a house that was perfect for us and below our initial budget. The impact of working with a skilled agent like Lan versus a less effective one can be nearly half a million dollars. Her expertise and guidance were invaluable in protecting us from purchasing overpriced properties or homes that wouldn't have been suitable for our family. Her patience and commitment to finding the right deal taught us the importance of waiting for the best opportunity, which was crucial in securing such a great outcome. Lan is meticulous, holds high moral standards, and maintains exceptional overall standards. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of an amazing and professional real estate agent. Her dedication truly made a difference in our home-buying experience. The difference between a good and bad realtor can be significant, but the difference between the best agent and others is massive. If you want to work with the best agent, work with Lan.

Lan was incredible in buying our home in Los Altos. She is tenacious and if you want it, she will make sure you get it. She knew the area well and her experience and relationships helped seal the deal. I dont think we would have been able to get our home without her. She has a rolodex of contractors and was also able to help arrange light renovations to start immediately after closing. Couldnt have asked for a better experience.
