TESTIMONIALS


HAPPY CLIENTS

Don’t take my word for it — see what my clients have to say about their experience working with me.

  • James T.

    Working with Han was such a positive experience. We looked at so many homes together, and what really stood out to me was how thoughtful and analytical he was. He didn’t just show me houses — he helped me truly understand what I was looking at, pointing out things I never would have noticed on my own. But the moment I appreciated him the most was during the offer process. It can be such a stressful step, but he walked me through it with so much patience and care that I felt calm and confident. I’m genuinely so happy with how everything turned out, and I’ve already told my friends and family that they have to work with him too.

  • Eric & Tammy

    Han was actually INCREDIBLE! His knowledge of San Francisco is out of this world. He allowed us to see a bit of everything the city had to offer so we knew to trust his takes. He was honest and truthful about specifics that we never thought to look at. The city is “small” but offers very different environments. Coming from Portland, we used Google for education at first. However, nothing beat Han’s actual knowledge of what seem like every block of the city. He was always available to answer our questions and provide updates, even after 10pm on a Saturday night. When there was an issue, Han quickly handled it so we didn’t have to. I highly HIGHLY recommend working with Han!

  • Reden R.

    Our experience with Han as first-time home buyers was enlightening, and we’re grateful for his help.

    During the pandemic, we faced a decision between buying a home or renting and risking losing our savings. We chose to buy and find a home we could call our own.

    Before contacting Han, we were unsure where to begin in the home-buying process. Han provided us with insights to prioritize our needs and wants while searching for homes. He helped us assess the structural integrity of potential houses and envision our starter home. Despite viewing restrictions, Han maintained excellent communication about each property we visited.

    Once we found the house we wanted, Han worked diligently to ensure a smooth transaction. Through his hard work, we successfully closed the deal and now have a place we proudly call home.

  • Dominic R.

    Our family couldn’t have done it without Han. It was our first time ever thinking about buying a home. Han was patient and walked us through every step, ensuring we were level-headed and not overwhelmed. He was able to negotiate and beat eleven other offers! During escrow, we made a few mistakes - but Han was able to clean up after us and made sure we were still on track to own our very first home!

  • David & Jessie

    Han was recommended to us by a family friend during our move to Orange County from Seattle. We had no idea what neighborhoods to look at or even cities. Han spent the time to get to know what was important for Jessie and me. He never pushed or was salesman like! Han honestly was more concerned during our house hunting than we were. He wanted to make sure it fit our needs. When it came to writing an offer, Han was not playing around, he reminded us of the little details that we would have overlooked, even on our lending side! If anyone is in need of an trusted leader during a stressful experience like buying a home, I don’t think anyone is better than Han!

  • Mark & Chloe

    My wife and I had relocated to the Bay Area and needed a guiding hand to do it all. I work six days a week and barely had time to even look at emails Han sent us. However, he was patient and made sure no time was wasted when we were able to make time. He cut out the fat and got to the point. He knew what we needed and made sure we weren’t straying too far from our initial goals. As a real estate agent, Han went above and beyond; even making contact with our lender to make sure she was doing what was needed. We’ve recommended Han to numerous friends and have never had to worry he wouldn’t take care of them the same way he did for our family. Thanks, Han!
