I have known Raymond for more than a decade and he is an exceptional realtor. He helped us to find the best house at our budget level during this extreme seller’s market. Raymond was immensely patient with our seemingly endless questions. When we decided to bid an offer for the current house we bought. He helped us figure out the best way to position our offer and what price to go in at to give us the absolute best chance that the sellers would accept our offer over the others. Without his help, we would miss our dream house. Overall, we would strongly recommend Raymond to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Raymond helped me out through the strenuous process of finding and purchasing my dream home. He is patient, experienced, and always friendly and responsive. Greatly appreciate his insight and advice in making the offer and it’s not only a delighted experience, but also a learning experience.

We are so glad to have worked with Raymond on the purchase of our first home! Raymond is an exceptional real estate agent and made our experience easy and enjoyable. Every home we looked at Raymond can immediately tell us the pros and cons. When we were interested in something out of our range, Raymond helped us figure out how to make an offer that we’re comfortable with. When we gave up after some bidding wars, he advised patience and positivity. We never felt any pressure to buy. Above all, Raymond is very knowledgeable about the conditions of homes, the market value, the locality, and potential. He is honest, honorable, attentive, quick to respond to any questions (we had many!), and helped us navigate the entire process smoothly. Raymond is also strategic with pricing and negotiation, and with that expertise, we were able to close on our home. We definitely plan to work with Raymond again and highly recommend him to anyone who wants a first-rate real estate agent.

We have known Raymond for several years and he is a very professional realtor. We have worked with him in buying our first SFH and selling our previous townhouse. Raymond is very knowledgeable in both buying and selling. He helped us to find the best houses at our budget level. When we decided to bid an offer for the current house we bought, it was already the night before the due date. He was able to communicate with the seller agent at last minute, arrange us a house tour the next morning and nailed down the offer we sent. Without his help, we definitely would miss our dream house. Also, he was able to make the selling process of our previous townhouse very smoothly at a very good price. We really appreciate Raymond’s help and definitely recommend Raymond!

We are a family of two girls. Buying a home in Bay Area is one of the biggest decisions for our family. Raymond is a fantastic agent. We met him less than two months ago, and we bought our dream house!! He was attentive and helpful from the beginning. When Raymond accompanied us to see the places, he was so experienced, he would point out subtle things that we would have missed . We were impressed with his level of knowledge, resources and the amount of data he had about the market. I highly recommend Ramen if you are looking for your dream house!

Really enjoyed working with Raymond and truly appreciate his excellent service that always go beyond our expectations. I got referred to Raymond by 2 friends who purchased their first houses with good deals. I did have some doudts at the beginning, but he quickly impressed my wife and me with his strong domain knowledge in Bay Area housing from years of experience. 
1. During the house searching phase, he was really good at finding strong candidates based on our criteria and identifying key issues and concerns on the ones we found ourselves to make sure the whole process is as effective as possible. In addition, Raymond is really patient with his clients and never pushes us to make purchase decisions. It all come from ourselves naturally.
2. During the tours, he also loves to share his insights and long-term maintainence ideas on the spot to make us more informed buyers with good prioritization strategies
3. During the offering stage, his strength of having years of experience in the industry created strong advantage for us in bidding. He planned his strategy really well, and helped us close a house in very short period of time (we were only in the market for 2 months) with fairly good price.
4. During the closing stage, he also played a big part and closely followed up with all the stakeholders to ensure the process as smooth as it possibly could be. I have to say Raymond gets good connections, and recommended a very capable loan agent to us who was able to handle a very tricky and complicated scenario with ease.

Overall, I cannot list out all the amazing work Raymond did for us. What I can say is I will for sure come back to him for any future purchases.

When we decided to put our house on the market "For Sale", we
had interviewed a few Realtors, but we could not find the right one.
Until one day, my friend invited us to see their house -- "Open and
For Sale".

After viewing their house, we decided to hire the Realtor right on
the spot. The reasons we hired Raymond Ni are as follows:

1. He helped design and remodel the house with all his working
team, without our involvement.

2. He made all the hard remodeling and construction decisions
for us. By offloading these major decisions to him, it helped
us tremendously.

3. All of the remodeling job came out within the budget and on
time for the market.

4. Lastly and most importantly, the house remodel came out so
beautiful and better than expected by us, our friends, and our
neighbors that we enjoyed all of their compliments when they
came to see the house.

Therefore, we highly recommend Raymond Ni with high regard for his:
positive working attitude, his vision for and execution of his remodel
plan for the house, and for accomplishing the task of selling our
beautiful house.

We sold the house within the first week of it being on the market
for sale. Thank you Raymond Ni!

Raymond helped us a lot with purchasing this property. In fact this is the second time we worked with Raymond to purchase a house. He has a great expertise and experience in the real estate market, and he could always help us to avoid those houses which have defects.

Here is what I liked about Raymond:
- He does not force us to think which type/location of house we should be picking, but once we have a list of houses as potential candidates, he could always respond promptly with each house's pros and cons and let us make the final decision.
- He could quickly catch if a house's location is good or not.(ex: safety/neighborhood/shelters/High voltage lines/T crossroad)
- He has great patience with us when going to tour the houses for sales. (This time it took us about 4 months for house hunting and he would always tour along with us to go through details of those houses)
- He never pushes us for houses which overpriced (It is not always easy for buyer's agent to stay the same line with the buyers because anyway buyer agent would get certain percentage of commissions from the purchasing price). In fact, Raymond always talked to us before making an offer to the seller agent and trying to negotiate several rounds with the seller agent to make sure the price we offered was reasonable.
- He never pushes us for house hunting, instead he waits until we have a list of houses, then we pick some from them to tour, in summary he wants to make sure the houses we would like to purchase are something we really want.

We will definitely work with him again later in the future if we need to. Raymond is a 10/10 recommended real estate Realtor and Agent you should choose!

When I was looking up agents to help sell my home, I came across Raymond by looking at recent sales in the neighborhood and finding homes that were well represented (professional photos, relevant updates to the home, and solid sale prices). I went with Raymond because his vision, timeline, and offering best matched what I was looking for. He actively took care of all the interactions with the contractors and inspectors (including getting multiple quotes for the bigger ticket item even without me asking), and had the house ready in short order. I am happy with the smooth process from start to finish that Raymond made possible.

It has been such a great experience working with Raymond to sell our condo recently! He was patient, knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process. We couldn’t be happier with his services and value his expertise, as he knows the Bay Area market very well. Raymond advised us on the timing and preparation process prior to selling. He immediately started preparing our property to sell right after we moved out. We really appreciate his quick and proactive approach, especially in the current fast moving market. His communication was awesome. He always responded to our questions quickly and kept us updated on the process from beginning to closing. We will definitely work with him again and highly recommend him to anyone who needs an agent.

We highly recommend to work with Raymond and we had a great time working with him. Raymond is an excellent real estate agent, very knowledgeable and has great expertise on the housing market. Raymond patiently guided us from many aspects including visiting several open houses, helping us analyze the goods/bads of each houses and asking for disclosures of the house we are interested in. Even if the chances of accepting the offer is small, Raymond is still willing to help us give a try. We really appreciate that since as a new buyer we need to get some experiences with bidding offers. Also needless to say, Raymond stays in close contact with the seller agent and gives us timely feedback for pricing strategy. Raymond is also very responsive of answering questions whenever we have questions regarding to houses or markets. All in all, it was a great experience working with Raymond and we cannot buy our dream house without his help.

We knew Ray a couple of year ago and finally got a chance to work with him when selling the property. He is one of the best agents that you can find in Bay area. He has a good sense of the market and always replies you quickly (even in his vacation!). This time we wanted to renovate the house while we are not in CA. Ray offered his professional advice and actually helped us upgrade the house like a real owner. Eventually, we sold the property with a very satisfied price. I highly recommend to call Ray if you have any business with Raymond.

We have been absent owners, and also, I was a CA license real estate agent for over twenty-one years. We were careful who would represent us to sell our home. We like Raymond, a referral by neighbors who had spent an entire year interviewing many Real Estate agents before hiring him.

We had to remodel our home before selling. Raymond took on the whole remodeling project on his shoulders for us. His wife, an architect, spent time designing a new kitchen. Thanks to Raymond's supervision, the contractor met the schedule and delivered outstanding quality work. As a result, Our property got on the market on time and sold at the top dollar.

In my professional eyes, Raymond demonstrates the highest standard. There were thousands of steps, from remodeling our home to preparing the house on the market, then negotiating the top price with the excellent term to close; every single step that Raymond had done was more than perfect.

WHY Raymond?
1. For the property itself:
Raymond is multi-dimension with many rarely found talents. He is good at old house transformation. He knows well about building materials, renovation details, architecture, color theme, interior design, and landscaping.
2. For the agent's duties:
Raymond respects you as the decision-maker. He is loyal to you, giving you utmost care. He works very hard to negotiate the best possible price. Real Estate transaction is a VERY complex process that can quickly go wrong. His experience and deep knowledge help prevent potential problems. He is a hard-working guy, very focused on getting things done, detail-oriented, and organized.

He is very proactive and is five moves AHEAD of all parties involved. He means what he said and delivers what he promised. He is a doer and a giver. He acts absolutely in the principle of "time is the essence." He is very polite and dresses professionally. You will be proud that he is your agent.:)

Raymond has strong shoulders that take ALL our worries away. He always said, "Don't worry; give me your worry. And I will take care of it for you. "And he truly meant it. We were so touched by him. We even secretly called him an Angel in human form sent from the Divine. :D

Additionally, Raymond has a solid professional team: Assistants, the transaction coordinator, staging professionals, gardeners, cleaners, and contractors. Etc. They do an outstanding job. We knew we were in a great hand.

For you:
If you are thinking about working with a GREAT real estate agent who will take GREAT care of you, I want to congratulate you on FOUND Raymond. He is in high demand, and many people want to work with him; I know he has to be selective about who his client will be. Too. Raymond's loyal devotion to his clients is so precious. With the blessing of Raymond's help, I wish you all the best, I know you will be the next happy client to write an excellent review. :)

Words cannot express how much gratitude we have for Raymond. We talked to multiple agents prior but Raymond stood out as someone who deeply understands the market, who knows how to help you, who listens to your needs and above all, who won’t push you to overcommit or overpay. As we weren’t able to come visit personally, Raymond took time to video call us and walk us through numerous homes all across the Bay Area. He was patient and explained clearly to the point about the situation of each homes and what are the potential pros and cons. He genuinely went over and beyond our expectations. Home buying in the Bay Area is definitely a stressful experience and not for the faintest of hearts, but rest assured, you can fully trust Raymond to deliver you your dream home at the right price.

We are very glad that Raymond was our buyer angent for purchasing our house. Raymond is very professional to provide a list of good candidate houses for weekend open-house tour. He selected candidate houses not only based on our preferrance but also his rich experience of finding good houses with good condition and safe surroundings. He is also very responsive for answering our questions promptly and providing professional advice. He never pushed us to increase bid price when we competed other buyers' offer. Because of his patence and effort, we purchased our house with a satisfactory price. We highly recommend Raymond if any one needs a buyer agent.

We are really glad that we worked with Raymond Ni to buy our first home. He is an excellent real estate agent and distinguishes from others in many perspectives. Raymond is very knowledgeable about the local housing market. As a first-time home buyer, we relied on Raymond’s expertise and network of connections to form our pricing strategy. Raymond is very well prepared in every house tour. He would come with information about the neighborhood and houses recently sold in the community. In order to win the bidding war, Raymond stays in close contact with the seller agent, provides timely feedback, and works closely with us to update the pricing strategy. Raymond is also very resourceful and has access to many off market opportunities. Thanks to Raymond, we were able to buy a house in a great community. Raymond also provides great post-closing service. We had thousands of questions after the exciting moment of signing the closing documents and receiving the keys to our new home. Raymond has been very responsive to our questions and provided great suggestions for a smooth transition.

Raymond is very smart with good memory, flexible and having a sharp sense of the housing trend. We like his straightforwardness , honesty and sound people skills. Evidence wise, His amazing ongoing key metrics are easily found publicly online or from WoM. The number means a lot. :) Raymond has very strong network, keen at information, but he never pushes.

We have been looking for a house for over 4 months before we met with Raymond. We did find some good house and also made strong offers, but all failed due to different reasons. We were tired and frustrated, when one friend recommended Raymond to us after he successfully locked a good deal for her.

After a brief talk with Raymond, I decided to give it a try and it turns out to be a wise decision. In just about 10 days, we found a house that we really like and finally got it. During the process, I found out that Raymond is a very reliable agent and I will highly recommend him to anyone who is considering buying a house.

He is quite knowledgeable in this field. He told us to avoid some pitfalls when searching for a house, he went through the disclosure and inspection documents with us and let us know what are the key information to look at. Also, he has many connections and resources. Wenli, the loan officer he recommended to us, played an important role during the whole process. She is very efficient and ready to help at any time, which made the procedure much smoothier. A big shout out to Wenli here, thank you for your help!

However, in my opinion, the most important thing that set Raymond apart from previous agents I have worked with are the thoughts he put into his work and his communication skill. He is always available when we have questions and provide professional opinions or solutions. He reached out to the seller agent very early from the open house and kept us updated with any new development especially after our offer had been submitted. If you have bid for a house before, you would know how important it is to keep good communication with seller agent on that offer day. Because of his effort, we had a very clear understanding of the situation and made the correct move in the last round of bidding.

I am very glad that we got this house. Buying house can be easier when you find the right person to help. Thank you, Raymond!

We have known Raymond for more than 2 years. We first met him in a house opening and saved his contact information after a nice and short conversation. We paused our house hunting during pandemic, but we kept in touch with Raymond and asked him for advice on some listed houses.

Early this Sep, we felt it's the right time for our family to purchase a single-family house. We hoped Raymond could be our agent because we trust his knowledge and professions on the house market. Now we are really glad that we hired Raymond because we successfully bid our dream house within one month after we resumed house hunting. We couldn't do that without Raymond's help.

The overall process of house bid relies on Raymond's quick response, diligent work, and smart multi-task strategy. When we found this house online, it was within 24 hours till the offer deadline. We texted Raymond the night before offer deadline (the deadline was the noon of the next day) and got his response immediately. Raymond contacted the seller agent in that night and told us the price range that the seller already received. Here, we really want to appreciate Raymond's professions and kindness. He reminded us that, we don't have to make a rush decision, we need feel comfortable about our purchase. My husband and I discussed, and we still wanted to give a try. Then the bid strategy that Raymond took approach was amazing and impressive.

During that night, Raymond kept in touch with the seller agent all night since the seller was in U.K. And got the opportunity for us to have a house touring in the next morning. Early next morning, Raymond told us that we need to multi-task on this to meet the deadline. He asked us to go through the disclosure package, and he would prepare the offer at the meantime, and we could meet at the house 2 hours later. After the house tour, we really liked the house and decided to make an offer. Raymond sent the offer in the house, and it was right before the deadline.

Fortunately, the seller accepted our offer. The price was within our budget and very close to another offer that the seller planned to accept. We felt so lucky to have Raymond as our agent, and really appreciate all his help. We highly recommend him to people who are looking for houses in bay area. Raymond is definitely the right person to hire in such highly competitive house market.

It was such a pleasure and pleasant experience to have Raymond as selling agent of our condo in SF.

Due to COVID, we are not able to be present in SF, the whole selling process was operated remotely, so Raymond made many extra efforts to support us. He helped us to arrange cleaner, handyman, worked with quality stager and photographer, to ensure the condo is ready in best condition. He paid attention to details to protect our benefits, when coordinating with HOA and escrow.

He is also kind enough to let us know clearly the pros AND cons of each home we see. We are very impressed by his professionalism and negotiation skills. Raymond can also recommend awesome loan officers to his clients. When our first loan had a problem, he was able to find another loan officer to take over our case on the SAME day!

Raymond was the selling agent for our townhome. He was very professional and responsive. He provided lots of advices, did a through market analysis and recommended great vendors to prepare my home for sell. After moving out, he helped preparing the home for sell within a week.
After the home was listed on the market, he kept us closely posted on any updates. We received multiple offers within a week, and that was when Raymond wow-ed us with his strategies on getting the home sold at the best deal. He had very good negotiation skills and worked hard to get us the best deal. The final sold price was way over our expectation. In fact, it was a record price for an unit sold within the community.
Even after the agreement was signed, he closely followed up with the buyer side to keep us posted on the progress of the escrow.
It was our pleasure to have Raymond as our agent and we strongly recommend him as your realtor.

Once we set the timeline, he took care of literally everything. we were completely hands-off during the selling process. In no time our house was put on the market. He sold our townhouse for the highest price in the history of the our community. His marketing analysis is right on. More than anything timing is the most important. We are very satisfied with the sold price.

Raymond is a very professional agent with deep local market knowledge, perfect sense of timing, a wide range of resources, such as a network of other real estate professionals, mortgage consultants, specialized contractors. His excellent negotiation skills helped us to successfully buy a dream home in Palo Alto at the beginning of 2021 in the heat of battle. We are pleased to recommend Raymond to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is hands down the best in the business in our opinion and if we ever need to sell or purchase he will be our first choice in real estate agents.

We are very excited to have closed on a house recently. It is a very good off-market deal for us, so that we luckily didn't grapple in a terrible bidding war. I have to say it would not have been possible without Raymond's end-to-end assistance. Looking back on our road of pursuing a house, the most valuable is his professional knowledge helped us avoid a lot of common mistakes and detours.

Early this year, we had been doing the homework when looking through Redfin, but this was far away from enough. We had been inflamed by anxiety and desperation in this hot market, especially with a limited budget. We needed someone to guide us through this path. Raymond was introduced by my colleague at this time. After getting our needs and budget, Raymond started forwarding us recommended listings and also commented on any house we showed interested. He has pretty deep insights into the Bay Area market, expert in every knowledge of housing. His recommendation was very accurate, matching most of the factors in our needs. His comments were much to the points. He could always put his finger on the problems that we haven’t noticed before. In this process, he helped us get a more clear picture of what our ideal house would be like and how we could get close to it.

Raymond is legit. We’ve never seen him boastful or conceited. He’s never pushed us to raise prices jumping into a bidding war. Having worked with Raymond, we felt he is responsible and considerable. He promptly and patiently answered all our questions, whatever some of them might be naive though. When we were frustrated in failing an offer, he called us to comfort and encourage us. His positive words gave us much more confidence. He is an honest man, never concealed his attitudes towards the good or bad. We trusted and delegated him all the tedious but “everything is important” affairs. He had a good control of the whole process , knowing when to do and how to do better, reminding us what we were missing. He did a great job.

Last but not least, as a top realtor, Raymond has been listing and offering a big number of houses for clients every month. It would be more feasible to find a good deal from the much off-market resources in his hands.

In one word, Raymond is a very experienced and reliable realtor. We were very lucky we worked with him in our first house-buying journey.

Raymond is the best realtor I ever worked with. He has thorough and deep knowledge about the real estate market in the Bay Area. He is patient and polite to his customer. He is also a good educator to new customers who are new to the real estate market. I wasn't able to make a purchase in the past 3 years until I worked with Raymond. After visiting 4 houses with Raymond I am happy to have successfully purchased a house. Should I have any further real estate need, for sure I will work with Raymond again. If you want to own your dreamed home, work with Raymond!

The sale of my condo in Palo Alto just closed. I got a full price offer on the first day, which was a record for that type of unit in the complex. Raymond Ni was my real estate agent and I have the highest regard for him. He went far beyond what I would normally expect of a real estate agent. He took charge and managed the remodel of my unit, including choosing the interior materials that made it most attractive to buyers. He also helped with selling the old furniture and other activities that were necessary to get the best possible sale. He handled all the listing, photographs, and the excellent staging. I should also note that he managed everything while I was away in another state dealing with the purchase of a home there. I fully trusted him in managing the remodeling and sale of my condo when I was absent. To summary, I have the highest regard for Raymond, and strongly recommend him to anyone selling their home.

We bought a new construction with Raymond being our realtor in the beginning of 2021. Raymond is responsive, patient, professional, knowledgeable, and respectful of what we value in a home. Without much research on our end, we jumped right into the buying process; Raymond patiently answered all of our questions, from pros and cons in the location of a particular property to how long it takes to close escrow. A very well established agent in the Bay Area market already, Raymond is very humble and never dismisses even the stupidest question we had. With his familiarity with every single zip code, Raymond was able to tell us which properties are worth visiting/further consideration, and which we should probably pass on considering what we value; Raymond’s knowledge of the entire Bay Area market saved us a tremendous amount of time.

We hesitated quite a bit at the beginning of the search process, uncertain about whether we should pursue a new construction or buy something with a few years (we prefer something within 10 years). Raymond never pushed us to make any decisions, and he patiently facilitated our own decision making by showing us more properties and offering his evaluation. In a market where everyone seems to rush to make decisions, we greatly appreciated Raymond’s patience and respectfulness of our decision making process.

Lastly, and most importantly perhaps, Raymond is such a good negotiator! He helped us sign the contract at an amazing price—we ended up getting the unit that we most preferred, and at our preferred price point. We are super happy with the purchase and the entire process with Raymond.

We look forward to working with Raymond again in the future.

(Translated by Google) In the early 2021 home hunt, Raymond helped us grab two homes on the same day. When making an offer, Raymond gave us a lot of pertinent and most targeted suggestions, so that our offer could break through and help us get the house smoothly. In the preparatory work, Raymond introduced a reliable loan officer to help us issue a Pre approval letter, carefully understood our needs, and pushed us a house that suits our requirements every day. When looking at houses, as a veteran agent, Raymond understands the advantages and disadvantages of each area, including school districts, analysis of surrounding housing prices, etc. The most useful thing is that the old houses in the Bay Area generally have problems of one kind or another. Raymond can help us analyze whether it is a critical issue. If not, how much will it cost to repair it? If there is a familiar master, he can introduce it. If it seems to be a critical issue issue, then he will use the Inspection report to analyze whether the house is worth our offer. In the process of buying a house, Raymond can respond to information in a timely manner, update the latest situation, and help to understand the situation of the seller receiving the offer. After buying a house, he also gave us a lot of advice and help.

In the hot housing market in 2021, Raymond helped us to get two houses on the same day. Raymond gave a lot of practical advices when we prepared our offers, such as the price range we can bid based on the value of house and the condition of market. Before we got started, Raymond introduced a helpful loan office to get us a pre-approval letter within one week. He also keeps the needs and preferences of our family, recommends the perfect on/off market houses daily. When we were on a tour of a house, he would prepare a sheet of prices of the similar homes nearby, and he analyzed the schools and whether there are critical issues he found during the tour. And he also read the Inspection Report carefully to find out the issue of the house to see we should go ahead and make an offer. He also gave us an estimate price of fix some minor issues in the Inspection Report. When it comes to the bidding war, he was very responsive and kept us posted on his progress and the informat ion he got from the seller agent.
After we bought our dream house, he introduced several contractors to us to help us remodel our house. Highly recommend!

在2021 年初的抢房大战中，Raymond 帮我们在同一天抢到了两个房子。在出offer的时候，Raymond给了我们很多中肯和最有针对性的建议，让我们的offer能突围而出，帮我们顺利拿到房子。在前期的准备工作中，Raymond介绍了靠谱的loan officer帮我们出Pre approval letter，认真了解我们的需求，并每日给我们推送适合我们要求的房子。在看房时，作为一名老牌Agent，Raymond了解各个区域的优缺点，包括学区，周围房价分析等。最有用的是湾区的老房子一般都会有这样那样的问题，Raymond可以帮我们分析是否是critical issue，如果不是，修理大概多少钱，如果有相熟的师傅他可以介绍，如果看似是critical issue，那他会用Inspection report来分析房子是否值得我们出offer。在买房的过程中，Raymond能做到及时回复信息，update最新情况，帮忙了解卖家收到offer的情况。买房之后很多装修问题，他也给了我们很多建议和帮助。

I know Raymond not by an actual home buying/selling transaction, but by ALL the FREE services he provided. We were deciding on what to do with our property, so I contacted Raymond for help. He went through thorough inspection on the property with me, gather all the facts, and come back with a complete market analysis for us. It included the usual information you would get from a good broker such as recently trends and nearby sales prices etc. But here is what Raymond sets himself apart from the rest. He presented in a very precise and easy to understand manner, yet included all the information you need. He also did not pretend he knew what the market is going to behave with the COVID-19 concern. He provided options for me to consider, which included several strategies for different ways to put the property on the market. He was very engaged but never pushy, gave me plenty of room to weigh in on options.

With the help from the information he provided, we actually decided to hold on to the property for now. He then proceeded to help me find property manage service. He also introduced me to an escrow officer to handle a minor but messy document issue, from whom I also got FREE service. His connection is amazingly broad and of high quality. Did I mention he did all these after we decided NOT to sell the property?

I have had past experiences with different real estate brokers. Raymond is very unique in that he goes out of his way to help his clients, even when it actually turns out to be no "profit" for him. I can comfortably recommend him to anyone, because he is really first and foremost trying to help people. He says he believes that is how business relationship is supposed to be built, and I totally agree with him. I know who I will turn to when I'm ready to put my property on the market.

We were in the house hunt for half year and he took us across the bay area from los altos to Hillsborough to fremont to look for houses. When showing those house, he will not just state good thing, he will put himself in our shoe to show us all good and bad thing, if he think the house is not going to work for us, he will tell us straightly.

After we selected the house we may like, raymond will go through all details like noisy roads, gas line, power line, hazard liquid line, easement, etc. He will also look at the map, if he suspect any utility/easement building nearby, he will point out and drive with us to investigate. He will make sure we buy the house with no later discovery and regret. During our house hunt, one listing even get mad at raymond for not persuade us to buy her house.

He is also very good when come to the point we need to bid on the house. He use all strategy to make sure we get the house.

He is very helpful after we bought the house, long after. He gives recommendations for everything when we ask for. He help us on how to talk to contractors, plumber, etc. He help us on question about property tax, etc. He never grew impatient and always there when we need help!

Raymond is a very professional agent, he knows pretty well about the real estate market around bay area.

As a first time homebuyer, initially we set up a quite high expectation on our dream house, even though later on it proved that not all of them could be achieved under a limit budget. Even with many years of real estate experience, Raymond didn't immediately try to influence our decisions, instead he continued exploring the listings as many as he could. In the next 2 months, we visited various open houses around milpitas, san jose, mountain view and sunnyvale, Raymond was patient and always came along to discuss all pros and cons in details, especially calling out the environmental problems to pay attention and property structure which we could not notice at all without professional experience. We slowly developed our own knowledge about the market and revised a few requirements of the dream house to make them look more reasonable. During this time, Raymond always respected our decisions and was continuously offering his professional knowledge based on our changing expectations. In the end, when we came across our current house, we placed an offer right away with the full confidence and Raymond eventually helped us get it with a much better price than the market.

It is a great pleasure to work with Raymond, and we'd appreciate the cares and patience he puts on his clients. Best wishes for his future businesses.

And one more thing, he never push you to make a quick offer, which let us eventually find our dream house.

Most importantly, he's very good at the strategies to get the best deal in a timely manner! He also gave us many useful advise for buying our new home. Will highly recommend Raymond.
