If you are not sure who to hire for your real estate agent I would recommend Mei Ling 100%. We sold our house in Saratoga during the down market in 2010. She did a great job all around from house staging to closure of sales.

Chris and Connie Choi, Saratoga, 2011

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Mei,

We wanted to thank you so much for taking us through this process from beginning to the end. You were able to garner a lot of interest with many options, able to handle all of the curve balls, and it was an overall smooth process. Thanks so much for helping make this happen.

Michael and Jenny Bennette, Santa Clara, 11/2011

Mei,

It has now been a year since we have been in our new house and we absolutely love it. I have been meaning to thank you for your amazing ability to get our house closed in a record 20 days! You also have a definite knack for style, which was shown during the staging of our house, as we actually liked the house much better when you were done with it. Finally, I would have to say, that I have not personally experienced such efficiency and attention to detail in the real estate industry or any other industry for that matter. Please feel free to contact me if you are looking for any type of reference, we would love to tell people about our experience! Thank you again, it was an absolute pleasure to work with you.

Dear Mei,

I am writing you this letter to express my sincere appreciation for an outstanding job you did in selling my house in Rivermark.  I am very impressed by your professionalism, your deep knowledge, your attention to details, and your top notch staging. I am very delighted to say that I never expected multiple offers with bidding even before the first open house.  Your excellent marketing and networking with various buyers got me 100K above the appraised price with absolutely NO contingencies.  All this was possible only because you were very diligent and efficient in all areas.

Again, thank you very much!  Hiring you was like hiring a real-estate team, because you are so organized; wear multiple hats; excellent follow through with lender, appraiser, title company, and between the buyer and seller. 

Best Wishes,

Narender R., Santa Clara, 07/2011

Mei Ling was the realtor for our house on Lass Drive in Santa Clara. Right from the very first time I engaged with her, our whole experience has been nothing but simply fantastic. She is the kind of realtor where-in once you give her your house, she takes complete ownership on ensuring the house gets sold. She goes out of her way to help out. We had several odd jobs that needed fixing around the house. She referred me to her handyman who had everything fixed in just 2 days. She referred me to an excellent painter, wood work person and all the things around the house was fixed in one week, at low cost without any issues. The other thing which sets her apart from other realtors, is her ability to stage homes. We were sooo amazed with the way she staged our house, and definitely know that her staging was one of the main reasons our house was sold within 3 weeks of listing. Our house was listed in a pretty bad market, where homes were staying on the average for more than 2 months. We not only sold our house within 3 weeks, we also were able to get a price which was way over the market rate. Make sure you heed to her advice on here strategy to get multiple offers. In summary, if you want to get your house sold for the highest price, and not have to worry about anything, Mei Ling is the person to go to! She is the absolute BEST realtor in the bayarea!

Hi Mei,

I just wanted to send you a quick thank note. I am very impressed by your professionalism, your deep knowledge in the real estate market, your attention to details and your top notch staging services. You transformed our house to a model like home within just a matter of days. It is unbelievable that you have the house totally remodeled within a week, got us in contract with multiple offers in 5 days and close the escrow in less than 20 days, you are truly amazing! We are very pleased with our choice having you as our real estate agent and listened to your advice. You make the entire process so easy and worry free!

Thank you!

Mei Ling is a solid real estate professional who helped us sell our home in a difficult economy. We appreciated her great advice, beautiful staging of the house, timely updates and all her support from start to finish. She helped make the entire transaction run very smoothly. We are extremely satisfied with Mei’s work and would highly recommend her.

-David and Linda Liu, Santa Clara, 3/2011

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Picking Mei as our selling agent was a no-brainer and most definitely, the wisest choice that we ever made.  She is super-organized, has well thought out plans / strategies for every step of the process.  Her staging is impeccable (so much so that many friends stopped by our staged home to get decorating ideas), marketing is perfect and she presents the house as best as one possibly can.  She is always available to answer our questions, responds to queries promptly and pays great attention to detail.

We have heard that selling a house can be very stressful but with Mei we never experienced it.  It was a smooth ride all along and for that, a heartfelt Thank you, Mei.  You are the best!

Cheers,
Ram & Akila, Santa Clara, 06/2010

We recently worked with Mei Ling to sell our home in Rivermark.  We wanted our house to sell quickly and for top dollar and Mei was the perfect person to work with.  Her expertise, organization, stellar marketing collateral and excellent staging abilities made the whole process fast and painless.  She understands what buyers are looking for and is able to present your home in the best light.  Our home sold in 6 days for over the asking price, and faster than other identical homes on the market.  We could not have been more pleased with our interaction with Mei.  She was wonderful to work with and we recommend her without hesitation.

Scott and Christin Sanchez, Rivermark at Santa Clara, 3/2010

---------------------------------------------------------------------

In a down market, when everybody said we cannot sell a house, Mei met with us and confidently told us that we can do it. True to her words, our house was sold in a matter of days with multiple offers. Mei is an ultimate professional and extremely detail oriented. She stages the house exceptionally well ( in my opinion, she is better than several interior decorators) and ensures that everything is perfect in order for the buyer to make a quick decision. She executes the selling process, similar to a project manager would execute a plan, capturing every detail and also following up on a regular basis. I would gladly recommend Mei to anyone given our experience.

Vishu Chittibabu, Santa Clara, 7/2010

---------------------------------------------------------------------

To whom it may concern:

I was apprehensive about selling a 20-year-old townhouse in this market (early 2010). But Mei said she could do it.  She recommended new flooring, a few minor repairs, and interior paint.  I followed all her recommendations and then watched as her staging service magically transformed my old house into a beautiful, model-like home.  Looking at the photos on her web site and her brochure, I could hardly believe it was the same house!  Mei carefully considered how to price the home, and her instincts must have been right on -- because we got eleven offers right away, and the house sold for 20% over the asking price!  Every aspect of my home sale process was easy and straightforward thanks to Mei's expert advice and professionalism.  I would recommend Mei to anybody, and I'd love to work with her again if I ever need to sell a house in the future.

Dear Mei,

We are writing you this letter to express our gratitude for the outstanding job you did as the listing agent in the sale of our home in Santa Clara. My wife and I have bought and sold numerous homes over the years and you are, without a doubt, the best Realtor that we have ever worked with. After seeing your professional presentation, your thorough analysis of the market, and then understanding the many value-added services that you provide, we concluded that there is clearly a reason that you outperform all others. We were delighted with every phase of the process. Given that we are in the worst economic downturn seen in decades, we were of course concerned about pricing and marketing. You helped us pick the right price based on recent comps, your web-based and print-mail, targeted marketing was exceptional. Your expert staging of our home made it show like a photo spread from an Interior Design magazine.  As a result of your hard work, determination and attention to detail, you sold our home in just four days, with multiple bids, over our asking price, the buyers were well qualified, and the closing was a breeze.

Thank you for making our home sale such a success!

Dave and Vivian Bruce, Rivermark, Santa Clara, CA 10/01/2009

--------------------------------------------------------- 

Mei's performance as the agent responsible or selling our home in fall of 2009 can be characterized by one word: flawless. From start to finish, each step demonstrated Mei's professionalism and experience. 1 - Aligning of contractors - Following Mei's advice, we performed some upgrades prior to the selling of our home. Mei utilized her connections to schedule the contractors, who did an excellent and efficient job at a great rate. The fact that she has the network of resources so willing and able to work for her is a testament to her professionalism. 2 - Staging and scheduling - Our situation was unique in that we were relocating to the east coast, and also had a newborn in the house. As such, we did not want any work done prior to our moving out. Mei was quick to line up all necessary inspections, work, staging, etc. and have them begin the day after we moved out. Everything fell into place like clockwork and went according to plan. 3 - Open house - Mei kept us informed of her schedule as she generated as much interest as possible in our home. She held a brokers only open house the first couple of days after listing, and a public open house that weekend. Her marketing machine generated the buzz that is necessary to get as many parties flowing through the house as possible. This buzz is the key to selling a home. 4 - Receipt of offers - Having created a bullet-proof laundry list of features and selling points to our home, Mei calculated a flawless timeline to force interested parties to enter any serious bids in a timely manner. Once the offers came in, Mei quickly triaged the list for us into those that were serious in nature, and those that were simply low-ball bids (this was in the fall of 2009, so many folks were out there undercutting any list price simply to see if they could get it). She also made a point to "normalize" all offers, taking into consideration the costs and fees that actually varied from offer to offer. In other words, the offer price alone was not the only factor, since some buyers were agents themselves willing to reduce commissions, and Mei did a great job at sorting out these other factors. 5 - Generation of counter offers - After identifying the serious offers, Mei quickly generated a set of counter offers that were specific to each buyer. Each counter-offer was crafted so that we would be able to compare all accepted counters in an apples-to-apples fashion. This allowed us to easily compare the conditions that each buyer presented. 6 - Facilitation of closing - As we were dealing with this process remotely, we were worried about the challenges of closing on our house without the benefit of access to the title company. Mei arranged for a come-to-your-home notary to come over and walk us through the paper work, and then take the signed paper work to be sent back to the main title company in California. Again, this went through without a hitch. In summary, Mei's extensive knowledge of the industry allows her to methodically price a home, stage it, and handle the back end paper work to successfully close a transaction. She is able to handle offers and buyers efficiently, quickly isolating the serious offers, and thus allowing a seller to get the best possible outcome.

Wes and Lisa Chou,  Sunnyvale, 9/2009

Dear Mei,

We truly enjoyed having you as our seller agent while we were relocating to the East Coast. It was such a peace of mind for us having you on our side and we are very happy that our house was sold so fast in this difficult time. You were always on top of everything with your great professionalism, high quality standards and hard work each step of the way. We appreciated your excellent follow-up and follow-through! Your e-mails/calls were always timely, informative and relevant.

We would recommend you without any hesitation to anyone who needs to sell or buy a home. Thank you for taking so good care of our home while we were in the other coast.

It really made our relocation much smoother and stress-free.

Best wishes and thank you for everything!

Ana and Luis Maranga,  Mission Garden Santa Clara,  9/2009

We are extremely happy with the way Mei Ling handled the sale of our San Jose home

which involved a number of things. Mei had to take care of replacing the entire

carpet, painting the whole home and a number of other major and minor items in preparation for presenting the propery to prospective buyers in a tough market. She managed to complete all the items at an amazing speed and got the home ready for showing within a week of our vacating the house.

We are also very pleased with the way she handled the whole sales process which

resulted in multiple offers after just one week-end of open house. The quick and effective

sale is a testament to Mei's creativity, experience and hard work.

Ramesh & Mala,  Evergreen, 08/2009

---------------------------------------------------------

In June 2009, Mei Ling represented us in the sale of our home in North Sunnyvale.  The home sold within a week with six offers.  This was in the midst of the worst housing market in recent memory.  We're certain that if it wasn't because of Mei Ling it would have taken much longer to sell the house.

We've worked with other agents and Mei Ling was by far the best.  We can't think of anyone else who knows more about pricing, the "ins and outs" of what must be fixed and the ability to magically transform a mediocre home into something brand new with her staging.  She's incredibly professional and her patience and accommodations to our busy schedules were really appreciated.  The whole process was so painless and stress free that it seemed too easy!

Our only regret was not finding her sooner.

Sincerely,
Oliver & Eva Tse,  Sunnyvale, 6/2009

Hello Mei,

Thank you so much for the great work you've done with us over the past few weeks.  You undertook a complicated process and made it as simple for us as possible.  When you interviewed with us a couple of months ago, you mentioned staging as your strength.  You do have excellent taste in staging, but what I valued most was that you offered sound advice for us throughout the journey and you were a tough negotiator on our behalf.  We're very thankful that you worked with us!  You should feel free to offer my cell number to anyone who's considering you for selling his home.

Sincerely,

Loren and Jenny, Santa Clara, 5/2009

Dear Mei,

I am writing the following testimonial to express my deepest and sincere appreciation of working with you during the sell of 4460 Headen Way in the, Santa Clara, CA. in the Rivermark Community.

It all began roughly 3 years ago when I first meet you at one of your open-houses.  From the first moment, I was deeply impressed by your knowledge of the Rivermark Community and the real estate market in general, and most of all, your professionalism.  At that time, the market was booming and houses were selling left and right at exorbitant prices.  Fast forward 3 years, the market is in one of its worst down-turns in decades, yet you are still able to get the best value for both sellers and buyers in an unforgiving and down-right brutal market.  Wow!  Now that’s impressive, and deserves great recognition.

I will have to be honest; there were a few times that I doubted the house would be sold, due to the unpredictable nature of the market and the first few bids on the property.  Let me be absolutely clear about this statement, I never doubted your ability to sell the house, but I did have doubts about the market in general.  In the end, your reassurance allowed me to see the big picture and not sweat the small stuff.

Initially, I was concerned that I would not receive a fair price, in such a down market.  Yet, you were able to still my fears, and reassure me that I would get a good price for my home, despite the current market conditions.  And this is where one of your many superb talents came to light.  You were able to stage the house with a brilliant eye for detail, and made it feel like a home.  That was a HUGE plus!  

Over the last couple of months (during a tough market I might add), you have kept your cool, calm, and collective professionalism throughout the entire process of selling the property listed in Rivermark.  Most of all, you delivered on your promise, and that was, to sell this property in a difficult, and sometimes tumultuous housing market.

You have exceeded my expectations from the moment we met and discussed the real estate market in Rivermark, to your awesome and pure knowledge of staging a home for the best overall effect, to your detailed reports during open-house, and to your extreme patience during times of stressful moments; for this, and much more, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mei Ling as the realtor to go with if you are in the market for selling or purchasing a home.

Thank you again! 

Tony Fox    Rivermark Santa Clara, 12/2008

Mei transformed our home into a masterpiece, creating a selling ambiance that greatly helped in our quick sell in a difficult market. She went above and beyond as a realtor in preparation and marketing, helping us get the little things done, and guidance when it came to contracts.  I highly recommend Mei to anyone looking to get the most value for their home in the quickest and easiest manner.

Ryan Tabrah    Mission Park Santa Clara, 12/2008

---------------------------------------------------------

Dear Mei,

Firstly, thank you so much for putting us into such a wonderful house in a beautiful neighborhood with good schools, and within our budget, exactly what had aimed for when we set out on a home search with you.

We had seen the way you had professionally staged homes for sale in our neighborhood and then read testimonials on your web page, and knew that we had to go with the best in the business to do the sale of our home for us.

When we started, we had no idea how the home buying search would turn out to be. However we were impressed with your dedication, hard work, drive towards results and help in narrowing down the homes-list based on our needs.

Once we found the home of our choice, we were further impressed on the way you worked with the seller's agent to get the deal done in our favor! You even provided us after-sale consulting when needed. Thank you so much for the outstanding service!

The sale of our old home turned out to be smooth too. Both me and my husband have extremely busy work lives and taking the time out from that to prep the home for sale was unimaginable. You advised on the options and helped pick the approach that suited us - buy then sell, rather than rent, sell, buy, or sell, rent-back, buy. Also, picking the right price in the slowing economy, although lower than what one would have liked, was a very very important decision as it helped us sell our house within 10 days even in a slow market. Once again your service was amazing as you took care of everything -  from inspections, paperwork, to the repairs and ultimately the professional grade staging. This was a huge relief for us as we did not have to pay mortgages for 2 homes.

 We can see that you treat this profession as both an art and a science that you've perfected it over time.

Thank you so much for taking care of such an important aspect of our life in such a professional yet friendly manner. Would be great to work with you again!

-Priya & Bhaskar  Mission Park Santa Clara, 07/2008

---------------------------------------------------------

We chose Mei Ling after doing a lot of research in the Rivermark area, and we know that we made the right choice.  Mei staged our home beautifully, using a lot of her own furniture and accessories, making it look like a model home.  She was great through the whole process including pricing, sales strategy, open house and the final negotiations and closing the sale.  Mei always went the extra mile and was extremely helpful, professional and available when we needed her.

Best regards,

Kim Wagner and Suzie Hsu, Rivermark, Santa Clara, 02/2008

Dear Mei,

We are very grateful to you for all your help with the recent sale of our townhouse.  We were very, very pleased with your service and how you assisted us in every step.  Selling a home can be a very stressful event especially in this difficult market and you really did so much to make the process easy for us! This was my first experience selling a home plus we had moved out of the area. We really appreciated how efficiently you communicated with us via email and phone to expedite the sale. You handled everything for us including kindly explaining the paperwork, advising us on price, negotiating for us, and setting up the house cleaning/painting. I must say the real perk was how beautifully and tastefully you staged our home! THANK YOU!

Have a wonderful holiday season.  We wish you much success in the coming new year!

Sincerely,

Ehud & Elena Kedar, Rivermark Santa Clara, 06/2008

Dear Mei,

Irene and I want to thank you for your expertise in handling the sale of our rental property in Santa Clara. From our experience it was never a question who to call to handle our property. Once we turned the property over to you we would have never thought that it would be sold so quickly. Whenever there was a decision you seemed to know what avenue to take and always kept us up to date. You have great resources that can get things done in record time. Overall an excellent experience and smooth transaction working with you. I would highly recommend your name to my friends and family.

Jeff and Irene Lim, Rivermark, Santa Clara,  09/2008

Dear Mei,

David and I decided to write the following testimonial to express how much we appreciated to have you as our sales agent:

Because of the recent downturn in the local economy, homeowners and home buyers alike are left in a period of great uncertainty. Especially when we wanted to make sure that whomever we went could deliver results nothing short of excellent. After interviewing with different people who professed to have a specialty in the area, we decided to go with Mei Ling to take care of the sale of our home. From our numerous in-person and telephone communications together with her over the past 2 months,
we can confirm without hesitation that Mei is simply the best Realtor we have ever known. She has exceeded our expectations in every aspect from the honesty and knowledge she presented in our initial interviews, the amazing custom staging of our home to optimize its perception to buyers, her skill in communication towards what is a true win-win for all parties (buyer, buyer’s agent, seller – her natural gift here is very rare), her amazingly detailed accounts of each of our open houses and buyers who were possibly interested in our property, her patience and kindness even after the close of escrow just to make sure that we were doing ok. We highly recommend Mei to anyone who may be thinking of either buying or selling in the Rivermark area. If only all Realtors were only half as wonderful to work with and effective in producing results as she is -

Eileen and David, Rivermark, Santa Clara,  06/2008

---------------------------------------------------------

Dear Mei,

We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Right from the beginning, on day 1, we knew we were in the right hands. Your incredible knowledge of the area, your thoroughness to all details, your direct conversation, your style to manage process, absolute passion in work, and the list goes on, made us feel we made the best choice. You proved over and over again that we were blessed in your guidance. Mei, you are a wonderful and honest person. we are lucky to know you. Please stay in touch.

We thank you once again for the exceptional sale you made for us. No one could have pulled it off so well.  

Best regards,

Suki and Jahangir, Mission Park, Santa Clara,  03/2008

Dear Mei,

We wanted to write this letter to express our gratitude for the outstanding job you did as the listing agent in the sale of our home in Santa Clara. My wife and I have bought and sold numerous homes over the years and you are, without a doubt, the best realtor we have ever worked with. Before selecting you to be our agent, we evaluated the three top realtors in our neighborhood. After seeing your professional presentation, your thorough analysis of the market, and then understanding the many value-added services that you provide, we concluded that there is clearly a reason that you outperform all others. We were delighted with every phase of the process. Given that the market had taken a turn for the worse, we were of course concerned about pricing and marketing the house. You helped us pick the right price point, your web-based and print-mail, targeted marketing was exceptional. The staging of the house made the home show like it came out of the pages of a design magazine. And, the open-houses, managed directly by you and your staff, could not have been more effective. The result of all of these things was that we sold our house in four days, received multiple bids, achieved a price point that was over our asking price, the buyers were well qualified, and the closing was a breeze.

Mei, we stand ready to serve as a reference for you to anyone. You are outstanding at what you do. We would not hesitate to use you to buy or sell a home if we are ever in that market again.

Thank you for all you did to make our sale such a success.

Warmest regards,

Tom & Celia Lewis, Rivermark, Santa Clara,  11/2007

I recently sold my home in Santa Clara. We made the right decision of Mei as our realtor to sell our home. I have seen in the past some of her staged houses in
the market. The following characteristics of Mei really distinguish from other agents:
(1) Mei is very knowledgeable in the local market. Her information and data is reliable.
(2) Mei has excellent staging skills and pays lot of attention to the details. While staging the home, she exactly thinks like buyer. This was one of the great benefits of asking Mei to list our house.
(3) Mei sets the expectations correctly. Her understanding of the market condition is very useful when we sell our home.
(4) Mei is very friendly, positive attitude and always available for us to give information. She is very courteous and follows high integrity
(5) Mei is one of the best realtors and I would not hesitate to use her experience and services again in our buy/sell property transactions in the future.

Mayilraj Krishnan and Radha Natarjan, Robin’s Run, Santa Clara    09/2007

---------------------------------------------------------

Mei has a great & systematic method of preparing a house for sale. After
meeting with her, she drew up an action plan and time line to follow. From
repainting the house, to scheduling cleaners and staging, there were no
surprises and the house was ready to sell at a perfect time.

Expectations were clearly defined at the beginning of this venture, and more
importantly, they were met every step of the way. From start to finish, she
anticipated everything and my house sold at a record price with multiple
offers in a matter of days. Surprisingly, there really wasn't any stress or
anxiety during this entire process. My wife and I were very comfortable
with the pace at which things were moving and couldn't expect better
results.

I think it is important to note that you have to spend money to make money.
Shortcuts to save a few thousand dollars in the sale of your house can
jeopardize your chances of making tens of thousands of dollars more. Plus,
there isn't really a dollar value you can apply to having a painless and
stress free sales experience. Really, the bottom line is, you couldn't ask
for or find a better agent in this area. If you want to sell a house for
the best price, Mei will get it done.

Egan and Katherine, Mission Park, Santa Clara   08/2007

Hi Mei!!!

AWESOME! EXCEPTIONAL! FABULOUS!  That's how I would describe you to anyone who is thinking of selling/buying a home.

I considered you to list my home because (1) I often saw your signs in the neighborhood (2) I was very impressed by your web site (3) I liked the way you advertised your listings.  During our initial meeting, I was quite impressed with your knowledge of the neighborhood and the real estate market.  Your confidence and honesty about my home were refreshing to me.  Plus I was extremely impressed that you had called one of your former buyers to check on them **after** they had moved into their new home.  WOW!!  Even before the end of our first meeting, I had no doubt I wanted you to list my home, and I made the decision without interviewing any other agents.

I made the decision to ask you to list my home, but now came the nbsp;first test.  How would you handle the entire selling process?  As it turned out,  I had absolutely nothing to worry about because you took care of everything.  You had the house staged and ready to be shown within one week!!  You knew I was concerned/hesitant about the staging, but you were able to alleviate my concerns with your patience and reassurance.  Again, I had nothing to worry about because the house looked like a model house when you were finished with the staging!  You were always prompt/patient in answering my calls and emails.  You resolved every problem I brought to you with such efficiency and friendliness.  After the house was listed, I knew that if it didn't sell, the reasons wouldn't be attributed to you because you had already done everything possible to make the house sell.

I knew that my home was located in a challenging location.  Therefore,  I had very realistic expectations of the sale of my home.   OH MY GOSH!!!!  nbsp;MY HOME SOLD IN 7 DAYS!!!...FOR ABOVE THE LIST PRICE!!!! nbsp;  I was in total shock (for 2 days!!) when you called me with the offer.   I know the house wouldn't have sold that quickly without your professional expertise. nbsp; I am so glad I trusted your judgements and let you run the show instead of trying to interfere with your decisions...7 days!!!....above list price!!....GOOD GRIEF!! /p>

Once my home was under contract, I began to stress because the pessimist in me was afraid the deal would fall through.  You continued to reassure me with patience.  You ran interference for me with the buyers and the buyers' agent.  You watched out for my best interest.  Again, I didn't need to stress because you took care of everything, and the closing of my home happened within 30 days after it went under contract!!

I must pat myself on the back for hiring you to sell my home. :)))  In my opinion, you are simply THE BEST AGENT EVER!!!  If you are still an agent when I sell my next home, I am hiring you again.  In the mean time, I will be a walking advertisement for you with anyone who wants to buy/sell a home..."HIRE Mei!! She is THE BEST AGENT EVER!!  You'll be so happy to have her help you buy/sell your home!!"

Thank you for making this stressful process as easy as possible for me.  Thank you for all that you did in getting my home sold.  Thank you for treating my little humble home as if it was one of those million+ houses that you often sell.

THANK YOU!!  THANK YOU!!  THANK YOU!! 

Sincerely,

Lynn Hu, Robin’s Run, Santa Clara,    06/2007

Professional, committed and savvy - these are only three of the words that come immediately to mind when thinking of Mei. We couldn't be more pleased that we chose Mei to represent us when we sold our house in Santa Clara. Mei was simply outstanding and did everything possible to ensure that our home sold quickly with multiple offers, including lining up contractors for remodeling, beautifully staging our home and setting the right offer price.

Hello Mei,

Jean and I want to thank you for all the hard work you did to help us buy the Rivermark house and sell the Evergreen house. We are both impressed with the great clean up and staging job you did on the Evergreen house. Plus the sales flyer was superb! We are very happy that you managed to sell our house in one week when all the other homes in the area were taking at least 3 weeks or a lot longer to sell. And you got $6000 above the asking price!

You are definitely the best agent we've ever worked with. Thank you again Mei for all your hard work.

Hi, Mei,

You did an excellent job the entire way from planning, staging, listing, advertising, negotiating and closing.  I obviously made the right choice in selecting you.

Mei,

We just wanted to send you a note to say thank you for helping us with the buying and selling of our home....
Your hard work and dedication to your customers will definitely not go unnoticed and we will be sure to refer you to our friends and family. You are really the best realtor we have worked with. Thanks for all your help and we hope to see you around Rivermark...

We recently had a fantastic experience working with Mei Ling to sell a property in the Robin’s Run development in Santa Clara. 

Over the past 10 years here in Silicon Valley, we have worked with many residential and commercial real estate agents, and Mei is simply the best.  The characteristics that really distinguish Mei from her peers are:

Extremely knowledgeable.  Mei’s knowledge of the local real estate market is very extensive.  In our initial meeting, she went into a lot more detail than just summarizing the list of recent sales.  Her direct experience selling homes in the neighborhood allowed her to provide a perspective on the specific value of the property that we think other agents would have been hard-pressed to match.  Her knowledge of all the ins and outs of the listing and transaction paperwork is equally extensive.

Easy to contact and highly responsive.  Mei was always easy to get a hold of either via cell phone or via email.  All email messages were returned promptly, and she was very proactive in her communication to explain the process and what was going on each step of the way. 

Positive attitude.  Mei’s confidence in being able to prepare the house quickly and to sell it quickly was much appreciated.  She was upbeat in every interaction we had with her over the course of 2 months.

Always delivered what she promised.  Never once did she fail to keep a commitment, an appointment, or fail to follow-through on something that she had promised to provide.  Our particular deal had a couple of interesting nuances, and she just powered through the details with poise and skill. 

Awesome staging skills.  When Mei was done, our 5 year old Robins Run’s property looked even better than brand new models in Rivermark!  She really knows what she is doing on this front, and has a great eye for making a house look perfect.

High integrity.  You can be sure that Mei will treat all those involved in any real estate transaction with the utmost integrity and fairness. 

Great results.  Mei devised a sales strategy that after only one week on the market in May 2006 resulted in 10 offers and ultimately landed us a final offer well above our listing price, which was quite reasonable to begin with.  We could not have been happier with the final outcome.  

It is always a pleasure to work with people who are simply fantastic at their respective jobs, and so it was a great experience to work with Mei.  She radiates competence.  We give her our strongest possible recommendation, and would not hesitate to use her services again the next time we buy and/or sell a property.

Sincerely,

Jill and Jim   Santa Clara, 2006

 Mei,

 Karen and I would like to express our appreciation for everything that you have done for us with the sale of our Santa Clara home.    The colorful four page brochure, the professional website, and the descriptive poster board of our home were simply the best real estate promotional advertisement that we have ever seen.   We were also extremely impressed with your interior decorating skills, as evident by the professional and elegant manner in which you prepped and staged our home for showing.   

Thanks to your expert knowledge of the real estate market in our area, we were able to sell our home within just two weeks and at a higher price than what we had anticipated.   Finally, we appreciate your friendly and professional assistance, being there during our appraisal and home inspection, explaining all of the legal documents, and keeping us informed of the status throughout the entire process.   This has been, by far, the smoothest real estate transaction that we have experienced.   If you should ever need a reference, Karen and I would not hesitate to offer a ringing endorsement for your services!!    Thanks again for everything!!!   :o)

Regards,

Ed & Karen, Mission Park, Santa Clara,  03/27/2006

This is a testimonial to the excellent service that Mei has provided us as both a Buyer's and well as Seller's Agent.

My husband and I sought Mei’s service after observing her work around our area, especially selling our neighbors house that had a floor plan exactly like ours. As a seller’s agent, Mei has been exceptionally knowledgeable about property values around our neighborhood as well as market conditions and trends. She provided us with a thorough analysis of the property prices in the area and suggested a comparable yet competitive sales price. In fact, once we decided to sell, she did such a good job with prepping and staging our house and marketing it with signs, brochures, listings and networking (all within a matter of a week), that we got an offer the day we listed. Again, through her excellent negotiation, we sold the house the next day at a higher-than-list-price. She also guided us exceptionally diligently through all the paper-work involved in the process.

As a buyer’s agent, Mei as been simply outstanding! My husband and I had very specific criteria for our new house as we decided to upgrade, and we turned out to be finicky buyers. Mei quickly perceived what we wanted in the new house, and was very patient through the entire process. She would always make herself available at our convenience to view and tour homes whether weekdays or nights. She would present a detailed analysis of the homes and neighborhoods very promptly whenever any potential opportunity arose. She educated us in the home buying process, what we should look for, and factors that would or not be favorable in the hunt for the ideal home for our needs. She was always there and NEVER pushy. That is what I found most commendable about her. Finally, when we did like a house that fit all our criteria, she helped us write and negotiate a creative offer in a multiple-bid scenario. Since it was a house that we wanted to remodel, she even helped us with referring contractors and material showrooms. She also has an excellent sense for interior design, so I have also used her advice as we are remodeling our home.

In summary, I am very thankful that Mei supported and represented us in our transactions in such a positive manner. I highly recommend Mei to all potential buyers and sellers, and would not hesitate to use her services again for any of my real estate needs.

Dear Mei,
Thank you so much for all your hard work selling our house. We were very pleased with your responsive (and patient) communication; your friendly, postive attitude; and your overall professionalism. Also we believe that your marketing and staging of our house played a key role toward us receiving offers above our lsting price, and this especially valuable to us in the end. And finally, even though our house was in a somewhat lower price range than most of those you sell, we especially appreciate your deligence and dedication in following through to get it sold. Thank you for doing such a fantastic job. It was a real pleasure working with you!
Thanks,

Dear Mei,

We are writing you to clearly express our deepest THANKS!

You handled the sale of our house very professionally.

We believe that the ?Staging? you did not only made our house sell fast, but also ADDED AT LEAST 10% to the sale price.

We will happily recommend you to anyone looking for a professional in the real estate field.

Hi, Mei,

I want to express my appreciation for all your efforts in selling my single family home at 1155 White Pine Ter, Sunnyvale, CA 94086. Your professionalism, superb marketing skills and especially your fantastic staging of the house, enabled the sale of the house in one week, above list price.

I truly commend your diligence and honesty throughout the whole process of preparing the house, performing all relevant inspections and the eventual sale of the property.

I would be more than happy to provide any references and would highly recommend you to any prospective real estate clients.

Sincerely,

We have recently sold our house at Mission Park community in on">Santa Clara. I am very happy to say that we made the right decision of selecting Mei Ling as our realtor to sell the house.

On our first appointment itself, Mei impressed us with her professional attitude, her knowledge of the neighborhood real estate activities, her approach to selling the house, her honest and realistic estimate of the ballpark selling price range of our house.

Since then until our house got sold, Mei worked very hard and diligently to perform all her responsibilities and exceed our expectation. We couldn?t have asked any more. She is very honest, genuine and a great negotiator. She is always on top of everything and a perfectionist and that has impressed us a lot.

Mei had staged our house with an impeccable contemporary style and with a very good sense of aesthetics and attention to detail. We have been many model homes including the ones in Rivermark community in Santa Cara. The way Mei Ling staged our house was at par with those model homes.

During the process of selling our house, I had asked Mei many questions and she had always answered all my questions very patiently and helped us in many aspects of house selling including getting us the contact of the carpet cleaner, home inspection company etc etc.

For the last few years, we have been looking for buying a home in Cupertino area. We have seen homes with many realtors but no one had really understood well what our requirements were and probably that?s why we didn?t find the right house. But within just a week, Mei understood and helped us find the right house that fulfils all our requirement. It was amazing that we found and bought a house within a week in Cupertino area.

House is one of the biggest asset of every one of us and one must find a very good and professional realtor whom one can trust and depend on 100% in selling or buying a house and who can help each of us get the best possible value of our house. I am very happy to say that we were very lucky to have found Mei Ling as one of the best realtors and I would very highly recommend her to anyone who wants to either buy and/or sell home.

If anyone is looking to sell their property, we had a very pleasant experience with Mei Ling at Century 21. We bought a Rivermark Glen home from her and sold our Rivermark Greens in less than a week. We only had one open house and three very good , competitive, and a lot more than asking price offers. She is very hard working and caring. She helped us with the move, cleaning and staging.
