Stephen Shiu helped us sell our condo in DTLA

Stephen Shiu helped us sell our condo in DTLA. The transaction was quick and without any issues. At the beginning, he did a very thorough market analysis of the property and found some unique facts about the property that made it stand out from other units at the complex. Stephen made an extra effort to help with staging the property so that potential buyers could see the unit at its best. Stephen was diligent when it came to showing the unit. He accommodated our requests and worked well with other agents. He was very responsible and trustworthy. He is well organized and follows through to make sure the escrow process goes smoothly for the buyer and us (the sellers). This is the second time we’ve used Stephen to sell a property for us. He helped with the sale of our property in San Pedro in 2020 during the pandemic. On both occasions, the properties sold over listing price. We would highly recommend Stephen Shiu for any real estate sales transactions.

My husband and I worked with Stephen for...

My husband and I worked with Stephen for several months looking for the right house for us and still can't believe we closed on a house we absolutely love. It would not have been possible if we did not have Stephen by our side, guiding us through this process and giving us invaluable advice every step of the way. It was our first time buying a house so we leaned on Stephen for a lot of help -- he was so patient with us and went above and beyond without us even asking. There was never a lack of communication as he was always responsive to our questions and gave us updates regularly, making himself available at any time of the day. His deep knowledge and experience in real estate along with this background in law served us well. He was able to help us along the negotiation process which can be tricky, and was able to coach us in how to approach the process in the best way possible which resulted in us saving a good chunk of change. Moreover, Stephen's interpersonal skills were very evident. His ability to form a good relationship with other agents and their sellers was key in this whole process. We could not have asked for a better real estate agent and cannot recommend Stephen enough!!

Stephen is one of the most extremely knowledgable and thoughtful realtor I have ever worked with

Stephen is one of the most extremely knowledgable and thoughtful realtor I have ever worked with. He makes sure we understand every step such that we can make decision with confidence. At one point Stephen is also our chief staging designer and the result is way over our expectation. I recommended Stephen to all my friend who ever need a realtor in LA area.

He was able to negotiate a better price than I could've imagined

This was my first time home purchase and I don't think I could've asked for a better person to help me through the process then Stephen. So many papers to sign, negotiations, and inspections but Stephen was in command through the whole process and talked me through each step so it didn't feel as overwhelming. His knowledge of real estate and law allowed us to talk through decisions and he was able to negotiate a better price than I could've imagined. Also, he's just a nice guy. I started to look forward to showing up for inspection knowing that I get to hangout with Stephen and talk with him about what's going on. I highly recommend Stephen and would work with him again!

A job well done.

Working with Stephen Shiu was a real pleasure. He made all efforts to make the process seamless and as simple as possible. The house sold in a matter of days with multiple offers and tremendous interest, due in no small part to Stephen's marketing savvy and diligent oversight. The escrow process also went smoothly with just the regular paperwork blizzard, which too was fielded expertly by Stephen. He was very responsive to requests and responded with solutions. He would make an excellent choice as your realtor/representative.

Stephen to purchase our first home. He was very patient with us since we started looking for homes

Stephen to purchase our first home. He was very patient with us since we started looking for homes 1yr prior. Never once did we feel pressured. Instead, he listened to our requirements and offered valuable market feedback to narrow down our search. He was highly knowledgeable with market conditions, lenders, terms and rates which gave us an ability to do compare and choose the right vendors. Throughout the negotiation process, he continued to offer support and guidance while listening to our must haves. Process went pretty smoothly and can't complain.

Stephen Shiu is a superb realtor! After a long few months trying to buy a condo in the San Gabriel

Stephen Shiu is a superb realtor! After a long few months trying to buy a condo in the San Gabriel Valley, I came to realize that the competition among buyers was so high. When a condo with average quality and price was put on the market, multiple cash offers would have pushed buyers relying on bank loans out of luck within a matter of days. I was one of the buyers relying on bank loans and I almost gave up my hope until I met Stephen. Instead of narrowly focusing on cash offer or not, Stephen treated me with equal opportunity. He was willing to work with me even when the odds were not always on my side. He cleverly guided me through a few tricky moments. He was very honest and detail-oriented. He left no stone unturned when dealing with key issues which ultimately led to a successful purchase of a fine condo that I really like. My take home message is: when you are about to give up in a tough real estate market, give Stephen a call.

Hands down phenomenal experience with Steve. I am extremely hard to please and very skeptical of realtors and their abilities. Steve won me over with his sheer knowledge, skills, expertise and genuine nature. I had originally thought of using him as a real estate attorney but after a few conversations I decided to have him as my realtor. He is on the ball with everything that needs to be known, researched and done in order to secure the buying of your home. If you’re looking for a good negotiator he definitely knows the process and will help you navigate the best way to get the best possible/fair deal. I would absolutely bring him on as a realtor again or work with him in any other capacity that he is an expert in. If you decide to give him a shot I can assure you Steve will be a great asset to you and your goal.

With Stephen's help, it wasn't such a big and scary ordeal after all.

Stephen Shiu helped me through one the biggest and scariest decision of my life thus far - purchasing my first home. I spoke with several agents before deciding on Stephen. He demonstrated a much deeper understanding of the market, a sincere interest in my needs, and a willingness to do a lot of hand holding while he navigated me through the long process of finding and purchasing a home. He was extremely patient, professional, and responsive throughout the process. In the final stretch, his deft handling of negotiations got me a great deal. With Stephen's help, it wasn't such a big and scary ordeal after all.
