Sale price above my expectations.

It was a great service experience with Stephen Lin. He was very knowledgeable and patient. I really impressed with his professional service. He is also efficient in providing all the services and courteous. It was an overall pleasant experience and excellent interaction.

Stephen is a phenomenal real estate agent, in fact the best one we have had. From day 1 of showing us houses, he has shown us he is thorough and knowledgeable about the housing market. And most importantly, he has integrity. As our buying agent, he did not allow us to overbid for a house, even in this ridiculous housing market. We never felt pressure to bid or not bid on a house--he said his goal was to keep the "buyer's interest" as his first priority. He was patient with us when we saw a number of houses we did not like. Also, he was there every step of the way even after we won the bid on the house, communicating with the other real estate agent and the lenders to make sure that we were able to close the sale without delay. Further, he has a great Rolodex of people that he knows--contractors, landscapers, etc--in the community. I cannot recommend Stephen highly enough and know that he is the best real estate agent in the area.

Stephen helped us purchase our dream home and also helped us sell our previous home as well. He was very patient with us, as we visited homes for over a year before finally finding the one we loved. On the sale, Stephen helped to prepare the house, provided insight into the market, and did all the work necessary to get the home in good shape to be listed. We really appreciate all of the work he put into helping us through the process!

My husband and I have the privilege of working with Stephen as a seller and a buyer. As a seller, Stephen and his staging crew and the photographer transformed our place into a model home look alike. Thus, we were able to sell our property at the price substantially higher than our expectation in three days after the open house. As a buyer, Stephen was able to negotiate a reasonable price for our dream home. He continued to oversee our loan process and our transition into our new home. We highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking to buy or sell property simply because he is reliable, efficient, knowledgeable, professional, soft spoken, and never pushy.

I originally met Stephen a year ago when he was representing a buyer for the house nextdoor to mine. I was impressed with his assessment of the local market conditions/trends and his working knowledge of the area. Early this year I decided the time was right for me to seel my home. I found Stephen's business card and called him to come over and help start the Selling process. He has provided helpful advice at every turn and yet he did not insist on "his" way...he always left the decisions in our hands. Stephen had professional pictures taken of the home and he turned them into a most BEAUTIFUL laminated/double-sided Sales Brochure. That's when I knew I'd chosen the right Real Estate agent to represent my house. The 2-day Open House drew scores of potential buyers and within 7 days yielded multiple offers over the asking price. Stephen evaluated the offers with us and even helped negotiate a FREE rent back period. The house ultimately Sold for $27k over asking...beating my wildest expectations. Now in the final stage of moving out, Stephen continues to check up and make sure everything is OK...not because he has to, but because he cares and is a diligent guy who follows through on his promises. He will always be welcome in my home. Do yourself a favor and let Stephen Lin sell your house! Most Sincerely, Dan Richardson

This is the first time for me to sell and buy a house in the US and he provided me with professional advice and guidance during the whole process. Stephen was super responsive to any question or inquiries that I had. He was honest to us when we were asking for an unreasonable price. But he also negotiate for us strongly towards the final price. We ended up selling higher than our asking price. He was gentle and not pushy at all to work with. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in Fremont area.

I worked with Stephen for about 2 month on purchasing condo on Fremont area. We had good positive experience in this competitive housing market and Stephen skillfully navigated through all stages of purchasing process for the successful completion of the purchase.

I had a blast with Stephen as buyer's agent. He was very responsive and knowledgeable for all of my requests. I was going thru some issues with the lenders, and throughout the whole time, he was very poised and confident. He acted as a conduit for all of my communications between the sellers, as well as with the lender broker and other professionals. Even after the close of escrow, he was courteous enough to stop by for a surprise welcoming gift.<br/><br/>I highly recommend Stephen Lin to rep any buyers in the Bay Area.<br/><br/>-J
