Ray went above and beyond to help me find a perfect condo. His knowledge of the market was extremely helpful and the people he set me up with were very useful. I could not have found my forever home in the East Bay without him. It was so fortunate that Zillow found me such a great agent and friend.

We’re so grateful to have had Rui as our agent for our first home purchase. He is very familiar with the area and knowledgable in home remodeling. He really understood our needs, gave us great advice, and was super thorough—my husband even went into the crawl space with him to check things out! He was always responsive, easy to communicate with, and worked really well with both us and the seller’s agent. The whole process felt smooth and stress-free thanks to him. We’re beyond happy that he helped us land our first home, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great real estate agent!
Rui did an excellent job helping us with the purchase of the house. His expertise in the market’s geographical area was instrumental in determining a competitive purchasing price while considering the future value for the area. He is very knowledgeable, responsible, and helpful. He was involved in all aspects of the closing.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Rui Song, who helped me and I can't recommend him highly enough. Rui is not your typical realtor; he is extremely knowledgeable and takes an active role in every step of the process. From the outset, he suggested areas and houses that aligned with my needs but always allowed me to steer the search, ensuring I found exactly what I was looking for.What truly sets Rui apart is his technical expertise. He doesn't just show you a house; he assesses it from a structural and functional standpoint. Rui is the kind of realtor who will climb into the attic to check for leaks and dig into the crawlspace to examine the foundations, looking for any potential issues that might not be immediately obvious. His approach is refreshing because he's not just trying to make a sale—he genuinely wants to ensure you're making a sound investment.Additionally, Rui's knowledge extends beyond just the current state of the house. He understands renovation costs and the potential for future improvements, offering valuable insights that helped me envision the possibilities for the property.In short, Rui Song is a realtor who goes above and beyond, combining deep technical knowledge with a client-centered approach. If you're looking for a realtor who will truly have your best interests at heart, I highly recommend Rui.
Rui is a professional agent with great knowledge and experience in real estate. My husband and I worked with Rui to buy our second house. He always gave us solid and logical answers whenever we had questions during house tours or reading disclosure. He provided us with his professional insights in choosing and examining properties. Based on his research on the market and communications with the listing agent, he knew exactly how much to offer and with what kinds of terms. Rui’s skills helped us win the house with just the right amount of the price! Even after the closing, Rui continued his help. He recommended several engineers and general contractors to help us on some improvements in the new house and guided us on how to rent out our old house. We really enjoyed working with Rui, and we recommend Rui to everyone!
Rui guided us on every single step of our second house purchase, from property search to closing at the escrow. He has keen eyes for details. He pinpointed the defects in some of the houses we toured, which were totally ignored by us. Rui has rich knowledge and experience in real estate. By working with Rui, we have learned so much in real estate, for instance, how to choose a good location, how to really understand the inspection and title reports, and how to offer the right price with the right terms. Rui also masters in the communication skills with the listing agents. With all that, we won the house exactly we wanted with a great deal! After moving into the new house, Rui also showed us how to rent out our first house. My wife and I were very lucky to have Rui as our agent, and we recommended Rui to all our friends and family members!
