As first time homebuyers, we couldn't have asked for a better team than James and Kin to guide us through buying a home in the East Bay. Based on our first phone consultation with James and his responsiveness, knowledge about the Bay Area real estate market, and easygoing demeanor - we knew we were in good hands and expertise. Kin was also very prompt with setting up private showings on less than a day’s notice and provided helpful guidance as we refined what we wanted in a home. She always kept in mind how compatible a property was to our lifestyle and long term goals, along with the small, yet important details in a home such as floor plan, privacy considerations, and future maintenance needs or renovations down the road. Overall, they dedicated time to answer our many questions and walk us through each step of the process with transparency and prompt communication. They also connected us with an excellent mortgage lender and inspector, both of whom made this experience even smoother. James and Kin went above and beyond to make the first time homebuying process as manageable and stress-free as possible for us. Even after we closed on our home, James had kindly followed up on items from our inspection to ensure we were off to the right start as homeowners. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bay Area.

It was a smooth purchase with James and Kin’s help. I have nothing but praises for James and his team - top notch responsiveness and advice quality. This was almost my first time buying a house and this duo got my back every step of the way. A very experienced team of real estate agents who are reasonable, understanding and skillful strategists and negotiators, I would highly recommend James and Kin’s service to anyone who wants great result and ease in a process that can be stressful and difficult.

They were the most patient and understanding people I’ve met. They were willing to go with me to search for my suitable place, advised me along the way, and finally were on my side every step of the way during the purchase and even after to assure my accommodation. Highly recommend!
