About Liya

Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make — and it deserves more than just an agent who “opens doors.” I’m Leah, a Silicon Valley real estate agent who believes my job is not just to close a deal, but to protect your interests, guide you through risks you may not see, and help you make confident, informed decisions. Over the years, I’ve worked with buyers and sellers across a wide range of situations — from first-time buyers navigating competitive Bay Area markets, to families upgrading for schools, to investors evaluating long-term value. I’m known for being detail-oriented, honest, and strategic, especially when it comes to inspections, disclosures, pricing, and negotiations. What sets me apart is transparency. I won’t sugarcoat a property’s issues, rush you into a decision, or push a deal that doesn’t make sense. Instead, I focus on clear communication, realistic expectations, and strong negotiation, so you always know where you stand and why a decision matters. As a homeowner and parent myself, I understand that real estate isn’t just about numbers — it’s about stability, lifestyle, and your family’s future. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a property you’ve owned for years, or planning your next move, my goal is simple: to help you feel informed, protected, and confident every step of the way. If you’re looking for an agent who treats your transaction like it’s their own, I’d be honored to work with you.

Liya Helped Me Secure a Good Deal

I had a great experience working with Liya on the purchase of my home at Amethyst Drive. She was professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire process. One thing that really stood out was her ability to give fair and realistic estimates for repair costs after inspections. She helped me understand which items truly mattered, what the likely repair prices would be, and how to prioritize them, which made decision-making much easier and more grounded. Liya also did an excellent job communicating and negotiating with the seller’s agent. She clearly advocated for me, used inspection findings and market context effectively, and helped ensure I got a fair price and a good deal overall. In the end, I bought the house with 300k lower than the market price. I always felt that she had my best interests in mind and knew when and how to push appropriately. From offer to closing, she managed details carefully, kept everything on track, and made the entire home-buying experience feel smooth and well-supported. I’m very happy with the outcome and grateful for her guidance. I would highly recommend Liya to anyone looking for a trustworthy, detail-oriented agent who truly knows how to protect her client’s interests.

From First-Time Buyers to Happy Homeowners — Thank You, Liya!

As first-time home buyers in the Bay Area, we couldn’t have asked for a better agent than Liya. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring, and she truly treats her clients like family. The Bay Area market is extremely competitive, but Liya guided us through every step of the process with clarity and confidence. She speak and write fluent English and Mandarin. She took the time to explain everything in detail, answered all of our questions, and always made sure we felt comfortable before moving forward. Her strong market expertise and negotiation skills helped us successfully secure a home we love. What really sets Liya apart is her honesty, dedication, and responsiveness. She went above and beyond for us, and we always felt fully supported. We would highly recommend Liya to any first-time buyer or anyone looking to buy a home in the Bay Area. Thank you, Liya, for making our first home-buying experience such a positive one!

Life get better because of Liya

Don’t hesitate! Choose Liya! I cannot recommend she highly enough!! One of the most impressive aspects of working with Liya was her meticulous attention to detail. After every property viewing, they would provide a comprehensive summary report, highlighting both the positives and potential drawbacks of the house. This thoroughness was incredibly valuable in helping me assess each property objectively and make informed decisions. What truly distinguishes Liya is their genuine commitment to their clients' best interests. Unlike some agents who seem eager to close any deal, Liya consistently put my needs first. On several occasions, she actually advised me against purchasing certain properties, pointing out potential issues that I might have overlooked. This honesty and integrity were incredibly reassuring, as I always felt that she was truly on my side. Furthermore, she is exceptionally considerate and understanding. Despite the significant amount of time and effort she invested in showing me numerous properties, they were never pushy. Even when I expressed hesitation or decided against a property after multiple viewings, she remained patient and supportive, assuring me that finding the right fit was the priority. Her empathetic approach made the entire house-hunting process much less stressful. I really appreciate all Liya did for us. I am very satisfied with my current house and the price I paid. I feel she is a life changer, she made my life becoming better by helping me with this process. Thanks a lot! And highly recommend!

From the very beginning, Liya was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and attentive to my needs. She took the time to understand what I was looking for in a home and guided me through the entire process with ease. What really stood out was Liya's patience and dedication.

She provided invaluable insights into the market, and her negotiation skills were top-notch—helping me secure my dream home at a great price! I felt confident and supported throughout the entire buying process, and I truly believe that without Liya, I wouldn’t have found such a perfect home. If you're looking for a real estate agent who goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Liya!
