"Carol Li is one of the very best agents in the area. I have completed over 130 escrows in the last 30+ years and have worked with many brokers and agents. I strongly recommend Carol, and have worked with her on several deals successfully.  

Another concern when selecting an agent is the broker they work with. Bob Gerlach (Compass Palo Alto) is the best broker in the area, they have the most buyers and run a professional operation (unlike some new brokerage houses that are confused). - James W.

We want to sincerely thank Carol Li for her exceptional professionalism, dedication, and hard work throughout the sale of our home located in 2608 Bryant Street in Palo Alto.

Her deep knowledge of the market, sharp strategy (suggested the listing price), and attention to every detail led to an incredibly fast sale (within a week) and a record number of multiple high-value offers. 

Carol was always very professional, responsive, thoughtful, and proactive—making the entire process smooth and stress-free for us working closely with high-class partner John James. 

We’re truly grateful for Carol and couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this important milestone.

Carol is professional, strategic, and seamless from start to finish. Her market insight and negotiation skills made all the difference. We trusted Carol completely, she delivered beyond expectations.- Leslie P★★★★★

Carol sold our property more than we imagined we would get. She was hard working, constantly in communication, negotiating thoughtfully and making sure we were positioned to get the strongest possible offer. She brought a clear selling strategy at pricing, staging and timing, and guided us through each step so we always understand what was happening and why.

She was highly responsive, proactive in solving issues before they became problems, and relentless in driving momentum once we were under contract. Carol ultimately closed the transaction far quicker than we expected, while still protecting our best interests throughout. I would absolutely work with Carol again & recommend her without hesitation. -Nathan Winters

"We first met Carol in one of her open houses back in 2013. She made a great impression on us when she struck a conversation with us. She was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. With her strong sense of the market, extensive connections with a network of realtors in Palo Alto and Los Altos, and her seasoned negotiation skills, she helped us figure out what we were looking for and got the house we really wanted in 2013, and again in 2021.

It's been an absolute pleasure working with Carol. We really appreciated her "can do" attitude, her patience and her hard work. Her extensive experience in handling multiple offers in a very competitive market has made a huge difference.

We highly recommend her. " - Samantha & Benoit L.

"We are so glad to have decided to work with you in selling our property in San Francisco as well as another property in Mountain View. Your tenacity, hard working, and can do attitude as well as your always positive prospective are key to closing the deal for us. It's close to a miracle that you were able to quickly sell our beloved property during such a short period of time despite the incredibly unpredictable circumstances - no open house, mass demonstration, pandemic.

And again, when we sold the other property, we got caught in an unprecedented wildfire and historic heat wave while in the middle of SIP and pandemic! Yet, you managed to sell the property above listing without bidding. There were many amazing qualities that we love working with you, and in our 20+ years of property investment, your ability to close deals in these unprecedented environments definitely made you the most impressive real estate agent we've worked with. We're really grateful to have work with you and look forward to close more deals with you. " - Carol W.

"Dear Carol,
It was extremely fortunate that we selected you to be our selling agent for our property in Mountain View. Despite the challenges of having to communicate and coordinate with us located on the East Coast, you made the entire sale process seamless and delivered an extremely professional experience. From your customized staging and marketing plan for our property, you demonstrated a command of the subtle details necessary for a successful sale. We were more than satisfied with the ultimate result and would recommend you to anyone contemplating a sale or purchase in the Bay Area. Thank you again for your excellent work." - Dennis C

"It is with great pleasure to share our experience working with Carol Li. She made the process very easy and painless for us. She was very proactive in introducing all the available houses on the market for us. We talked on the phone and visited the houses every weekend with Carol. Meanwhile, she listened to what we want and what we don't want, didn't pressure us to look beyond the parameters we set.

We've also worked with other realtors before. One of Carol's biggest advantages is that she has a very strong network in the Palo Alto/Los Altos area. She personally knows almost every realtor who is listing the house, which always gave us more info about the house and the market. We can't imagine going through the process with anyone else but her.

If we ever come into a situation to need a real estate agent, we would definitely come to her again!"- Xiaoxi Y. & Yan C.

"Hi Carol,
We had a really great and smooth experience working with you in selling our home on 301 Cherokee Ln in MV. So it goes without saying that we will recommend you to our friends and colleagues. We have an internal group in the company for house buying where I will share the recommendation as well. " - Vibhor K. & Pooja G.

"We have been long time clients of Carol Li. She helped us with 3 real estate transactions already in this extremely competitive market of the Bay Area Peninsula. We will no doubt seek her expertise again in future transactions.

We first met Carol after she was referred to us for our first home purchase in the Peninsula around 2018. We were just engaged and had a low budget for this first family home. Carol helped us tirelessly, showing us multiple open houses each weekend. Finally, there was a townhome in Sunnyvale that we liked and were within our budget. Unfortunately, we were outbid. This is where Carol truly worked her magic. She found us an off-market townhome in the same community that same week! With her great negotiating skills, she was able to get us that unit at the offer price that we put for the previous unit.

Fast forward to 2022, we added a new member to our family 😊 and we decided to sell that first home. She helped us clean up the place with a new paint job, staging, and professional photographs very quickly. She hosted the open house herself 2 weekends in a row. But this was during COVID, and there was simply not enough interest for a small townhome. Everyone wanted more space for remote working. But again, Carol worked her magic. She identified one family that was on the fence at the open house and persuaded them to make an offer! It took just 1 month and 2 days from us moving out to ratifying the deal.

Once that sale was closed and money was in our bank. It was time to look for our next home. Carol worked very quickly, showing us many places, some that were not even on the market yet. Carol found this one hidden gem in Palo Alto with one of the best school districts in the Bay Area. She found out that offers were due in 2 days but there were not many disclosure requests. For some reason, both us and many people overlooked this place. Carol recognized it as a good opportunity for us. We took a look in person and fell in love! At the end, we were just one of two offers submitted and we won the place barely over asking, extremely rare for a Palo Alto single family home. This will be our home for a very very long time and we have Carol to thank for that.

Carol’s knowledge of the Bay Area market, get things done attitude, competency in negotiations, and responsiveness at all times of the week truly makes her one of the best agents in the area. Please feel free to contact us at the number below if you have any questions. We wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone who is looking to buy or sell real estate in the Peninsula." -Frank L. & Shiwei Q.

"I am a software engineer and like to accumulate passive income from real estate in the past 10 years. My friend recommends Carol Li to me. With her help, I purchased my 3rd property in Bay Area.

Besides Carol’s 20+ experience, she is also good at negotiation skills and strong relationship with other agents: The seller listed the property at price 1.3M and my expectation is 1.25M. At last, with Carol’s expertise, she got the 1.2M price from the seller. My loan agent told me that it is below the market price. This is one of the best deals in my history! -Clark J .
