Sophie Shen, CFA, Realtor, Sr Loan Consultant - Real Estate and Mortgage Service in Silicon Valley Ringwood Ave, San Jose

We wanted to sell our townhouse and get an SFH in a district with decent elementary school for our girls, and with close proximity to my husband's workplace. We reached out to Sophie end of November, got a great offer in one open house first week of December, and we got our dream house a day after the closing of our townhouse. All of these happened in less than two months, which wouldn't have been possible without Sophie. Although this is our second house purchase, but we were very inexperienced with house bidding wars since we had bought the townhouse brand new from developer years ago. Sophie has high integrity, very responsible, and most importantly, she is a good listener and doesn't hesitate to spend more time explaining things to make sure we have all the necessary information (pros and cons) for us to make sound decision. I personally couldn't thank Sophie enough to go extra miles in presenting our offer for the house we wanted. She did her research and the numbers we ended up offering was based on market calculation, instead of guessing game. She guided us through the whole process, and made sure we were comfortable with any decision we took. I would recommend Sophie in a heartbeat to anyone who needs to sell or buy properties.

Sophie is the best. She is so familiar with the local market and with her incredible knowledge, she was able to provide the professional suggestions of when and how to list my home, how to get the maximum values of improvement/repair. Her staging just makes the house looks so much better. She is  also very good at handling multiple offers and maximize seller's benefits. With her exceptional service, she is able to sell my house 20% more than a similar listing with similar condition and much much over our expectations. You will be in 100% good hands with Sophie.

Sophie is definitely one of the top selling agents in this area. She is very professional and helpful in handling all details of selling house. She's the kind of agent to always put the clients' interest as the first priority. With her competent expertise, my house was sold at a record high price in my neighbor hood. Many thanks to her excellent work. Would highly recommend her to all of my friends!

I'm glad we picked Sophie as our selling agent. The most valuable contribution was her customized house-specific strategy and the efficiency throughout the process. Part of it was finding capable contractors and scheduling them to renovate the house quickly at reasonable costs. The staging and advertising was excellent. Also appreciated was dealing with inspectors and connecting with people who can fix the issues, again, quickly. She was thorough in presenting the multiple offers and explained the pros and cons with her professional expertise and local market experience. She was very flexible as well. The result was maximizing your return while having the least worries.

We have been fortunate to know Sophie for nearly 3 years, so when we decided it was time to move out of state we knew exactly who we would ask to represent us. From the moment we contacted her until we closed the sale of our home, Sophie went out of her way to accommodate every request we could possibly have had. She was incredibly professional and knows exactly what to do and when to do it. She listed our home fairly, staged it beautifully, marketed it effectively, and worked closely with every realtor who made an offer to ensure we received top dollar for our home. In the end, we closed far higher than we could have ever anticipated. Our home was listed and sold in less than a week and she only held 1 weekend of open houses. We appreciate her attention to detail and her commitment to securing us the best price possible. Thank you to Sophie and her team for making this a great experience!

Sophie is one of the most intelligent real estate agent i have came across. My condo was in market for a month with another local agent but the agent was not able to sell. Then i contacted Sophie and she was able to sell it in just a week. Th price we got was also one highest in our area. Sophie is really good in understanding what buyers want from a home and accordingly she does the staging. She also has really strong negotiation skills to get best out of a real estate transaction. I would highly recommend Sophie for any kind of home buying/selling transaction.

Before meeting Sophie my family has been looking for a home for long time but could never our offers through. Sophie helped us to secure the dream home and we are very please for her services. She is highly motivated, professional, and efficient, with deep understanding of market and customer needs. She is very knowledgeable on the properties and always provides valid recommendations for customer's informed decision. She also works with a team of professionals to cover all aspects of customers needs - from loan officer to property appraiser. I will for sure recommend her to my friends for their plans of buying or selling homes.

If you are in the market to sell or buy real estate in bay area, I highly recommend Sophie as your trusted realtor to help you. I feel very luck to choose Sophie as our agent to sell our house recently. We have very tight schedule since we are buying a new home which is contingent on selling our current one. I called Sophie on a Sunday afternoon, she came to our home at that evening prepared. This is how Sophie’s experience and expertise doing the magic. Our house was listed in the market FOUR days after we first meet. Then it was in contract FOUR days after the first open house. We didn’t take a single day off from work during the process. Sophie has done a lot of work in that 11 days, including staging, photographing, listing our house in the market, advertising, open house, going through offers with us etc. She developed the plan and executed it so well and flawlessly with her experience, expertise and efficiency. Buying or selling real estate is stressful process. But it can also be very easy if you choose the right realtor to help you. Sophie is definitely the one you can trust.

We are first home buyer. Sophie is definitely the best agent you could work with in bay area. She is very professional and patient. We learned the whole process of how to choose a home, how the financing procedure goes and how to win among many offers. Her expertise and enthusiasm impress us a lot. We could not beat other offers to get the dream house we want without her. We definitely recommend her to our friends whoever would like to buy/sell a house!

We highly recommend Sophie to anyone who is in the market to either sell or purchase a home! We recently had to sell our existing home in order to purchase another home. The logistics for this can be daunting under normal circumstances, and was further exacerbated by an extremely competitive housing market. This is where Sophie's experience, expertise, efficiency, organization, and access to a rich network of services (e.g., movers, stagers, handyman, cleaning services, etc.) really made a difference. From day one, Sophie developed a detailed plan tailored to our situation, and executed flawlessly against this plan. She guided us through each stage of the process, advised us at key decision points, and was always available (and incredibly responsive) to all our questions, no matter how big or small. Moreover, Sophie always provided us with realistic estimates and expectations, but worked tirelessly to deliver the best result and value for both our existing and new home. She did a phenomenal job staging our existing home to show off its best features, pricing our home competitively, and marketing our home effectively to reach a broad number of potential buyers. As the result, we have our house sold in high price. If you want a trusted partner, who can deliver phenomenal results and genuinely has your best interest in mind, then Sophie is the clear choice!
