If I could, I would give Minhua a 10 star, because she is the best! Minhua is efficient and effective across the whole process, by proactively identifying areas to improve, effectively landing the improvment areas, and effectively close the house under a week after the listing. Overall it is the most enjoyable experience and I'd strongly recommend Minhua to friends or family members! Once again, super awesome work! I'd definitely work with Minhua again in the future!!!

Minhua is simply awesome. She stuck with us throughout our long journey of looking for a new home for 2 years. She was very professional and extremely honest with homes that we shouldn't even consider bidding for with proper reasonings.I will definitely be going back to her on our next home search.Thank you Minhua!

We can't recommend Minghua enough. Minghua and her assistant Christine took care of us in our home buying and house selling process. We have purchased a home before and working with them was great since they provided their honest opinions on the properties when others agents may be more interested in closing the sale. Minhua has many years of experience and was able to help us navigate the challenging landscape of rising interest rates, rising housing prices, and multiple offers to ultimately helping us save money. On the selling front they both were able to help us to sell at the right time using the right amount of upgrades to maximize our selling offer. Renovations and staging were all timed perfectly making the selling process was very smooth.Overall the experience was great and saved us time and money on both sides of buying and selling.

When we were planning to sell our first home, we knew we had to get the right agent. When I first met Minuua, she knew what needed to be done to sell our house and the process was very seamless. There were several houses planning to go on the market but since Minhua has a great network, she was able to provide their expected market sale date etc. Minhua and her assistant, Christine, worked extremely efficiently during COVID and prepared our house for sale in just ONE WEEK! She arranged everything for us so nothing for us to worry about! I felt that she was very trustworthy during the process as she told us everything. In the end, we sold our house only being in the market for 5 days with the highest sale price in the neighborhood.After we sold the house, we decided to purchase the house with her. She provided great insights and very responsive in a timely manner to any of our questions. She is really good at marking a deal and was very honest throughout the offer process and let us know what was a "good offer" rather than pushing us for an "over-priced offer" In this hot market, we are grateful to her that we bought the house with our first OFFER! I can tell you that she is one of the best agents I have worked with and I am sure you will not regret choosing her to be your agent! Highly recommended!

I would say it is one of the best things I have done in my life that I decided to work with Minhua. I bought a very beautiful house at pretty decent price, and I'd say it were impossible without Minhua's efforts. She is very experience. If I remember correctly, she has more than 20 years experience. As a first home buyer, I don't have much insight about real estates. When I take a look at a house, she provided lots of useful information: location, condition of the house, how to remodel it, and expected costs, etc. I realized there were so many things I'd overlooked without her advice.Another thing I want to share about her is that she is really good at making a deal, which is most important ability for a realtor. I have made a few offers, but I never made over-priced offers. Thanks to Minhua's suggestion, I was able to make offers at reasonable but still competitive. I felt she is very honest and works hard to make a really good deal.After an offer is accepted, she kept helping me for smooth closing process. She checked the process regularly and helped to resolve any issues which block the process. I really appreciate it. It took less than a month for closing process, which is shorter than most of other cases these days.I'd like to share my experience with as many people as possible, and yelp is the most effective way to do it. I hope many other people buy their sweet home. Minhua would be one of the best agents ho can help you to buy a good house.

We worked with Minhua to buy our house in 2020 December. We had a very good experience with her. Some of the many things we like about her:*She is Super smart*. For every house we gave an offer, she has a strategy. Depending on the demand for the house, how many days the house is sitting in the market, whether it has a deadline or not, whether the seller takes preemptive offers or not, she is super smart in creating a strategy tailored for that house to increase our odds of getting it to the max.*She is very experienced*. I can tell that from her knowledge and her contacts. She knows so many other agents and can get good information based on her past experience with them.*She goes far beyond her responsibility to help buyers in house search*. Couple of examples I saw are: As soon as there is a house that matches our criteria, she used to go to the house first. She looks at the surroundings and also inside if she can get an appointment or if there is an open house. Once she likes it, she discusses that with me and then we will go again to look at the house together. I have not seen any other agent do this. She also looks at the reports before she recommends a house. She does a good amount of research even before you go to look at the house.*She is very honest*. I had agents who would just go to a bidding war as soon as I said I like a house. Minhua is not like that. She gave me very honest feedback multiple times and suggested me to not give an offer if the house is not worth the price or if it doesn't fit our needs. We do not see this with many agents.In my house search, she is more like a family member than an agent. Even after I bought the house with her, she came to our house multiple times to guide us with remodeling and house extension. I still call her, 3 months after purchase, if I need any guidance with my house.I can tell without doubt, she is one of the best agents. Work with her for a month, and you will never go to another agent.

We bought our first house in the bay area with Minhua. We heard many good things about her from many of our friends that we decided to work with her right away and we started looking for houses from about 2 years ago. (yes a long time...we aren't that easy) We initially wanted to purchase a house in Cupertino area but later changed our minds. And actually this happened multiple times over the course of the last 2 years: Minhua was always there to adjust to our needs and she has been very patient in working with us. At the same time, she was very honest about the cons and pros of the houses that we were looking at. We even brought a few houses to her thinking they were really good, but upon talking to her we decided not to move forward, which we really appreciate looking back.Through COVID, things got interesting. Not only the prices of the houses were going up, there weren't many houses available to purchase. We have gotten impatient, but every time she would say we just need to wait and we would eventually find something that we would like. And she was right, we finally found a house that both me and my wife liked in the area that we were looking for. And yes the competition was very fierce but Minhua is really good at what she does and she was able to guide us through the offer process that we could finally purchase the house. We are thinking of doing a small renovation of the house before we move in, and Minhua is always there for any questions we may have, getting us the critical referrals and she provides us advices as if we are her own family members. For someone who has never done a house renovation before, this is a tremendous help as we probably wouldn't know where to start at all or wouldn't even feel comfortable without the feeling that she's got our back. We are so happy that we had the opportunity to work with Minhua. I'm sure we will be working with her again for any of future house buying or selling. For anyone out there looking for someone you can trust and rely on, please do reach out to her. You won't be disappointed.

This is my second time working with Ms. Minhua Jin on house purchases. For my next purchase or sale, I wouldn't work with anyone other than her. What more can I say?In the Bay Area, arguably the most competitive ground for real estate transactions in the U.S., you have to work with the best real estate agent. And I think Minhua is the one. Thanks to her long career in the field, she not only has a profound understanding of the location but also has great friendships with selling agents. Adding in her passion and honesty, you really cannot go wrong with your biggest investment of your life :)
