‘We worked with Calvin and the Hōm Team twice in the past 7 years resulting in two purchases. Calvin was consistently helpful throughout the entire process in both cases, from identifying properties to providing useful suggestions on final walk-through post signing contract (above and beyond the usual duties of a realtor). Calvin is always there to help, answering questions promptly with thoughtful recommendations, reaching out to the seller whenever needed to address our concerns, etc. His real estate expertise and exceptional communication skills are crucial in the successful purchase our new apartment. We will definitely work with Calvin and his team again in the future.’ Vivian and Jin, Condo Buyers
