"We first met Hon in 2012 when he was representing the sellers of the home we purchased. We were impressed by his professionalism in that transaction and always said we would reach out to him if we ever planned to move; 8 years later, we did! Hon was incredibly patient with us and listened to our needs. He not only helped us to purchase our dream home, but also managed the sale of our first home. We had never sold a home before and were also doing so during a pandemic and still cannot believe how seamless the process was! Hon is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. His assessments were spot on and we greatly appreciated his honesty when we sought advice on a decision. We highly recommend Hon to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

"I was very fortunate to have Hon as my real estate agent for selling my condo. Two previous attempts to sell my condo using other realtors proved unsuccessful, yet Hon was able to get the job done. Hon is knowledgeable, efficient, and organized. He guided me through my first home selling experience with dedication and patience. He was available for any questions or concerns I had, and I always received very prompt responses. I never felt pressured, or unheard while working with him. He provided updates throughout the process as well, which were frequent enough to make me feel that I was a priority, but were never overbearing. Everything was completed on time, paving the way to a very smooth closing which speaks to Hon’s experience in the field. I would highly recommend Hon Shin to anyone who needs a realtor, and hope to work with him again in the future.

"“It was a pleasure to work with Hon in finding an investment property for rental purposes. He is very fond and knowledgeable of the rental communities in Cambridge, Brookline, Allston/Brighton, and more. He was right on with us with a very proactive attitude. We were able to find a condo and close out within a month. We were very satisfied working with Hon that we've decided to work with him on finding/signing the tenants as a rental realtor.

"Hon is great. I was very impressed by his professional knowledge in providing comparative market analysis. He advised me to prepare our condo to be attractive to potential buyers. He gave great advice and was there every step of the way in assisting me in selling our condo. We found him to be trustworthy, honest and extremely efficient! Definitely recommend his services to anyone I know.

"Hon was a wonderful agent to work with! Dan and I are first time home buyers and we could not have successfully bought a home without him. He was very patient with us as we tried to decide what we wanted. He was available at all hours, which was a tremendous help since our work schedules were so hectic. Hon went out of his way to show us houses after hours and sometimes on Sundays. He was quick to respond to our questions via email, text, or call. Great attitude! Hon was also very knowledgeable about the home buying process. Walking through each property, he was SO SINCERE about what he liked and didn't like. He not only pointed out areas of concern, but amenities in the property that would make it a good resell in the future. He helped walk us through all the paperwork and then after the deal was done, Hon continued to check in with us and made sure that we were happy with our purchase. We would highly recommend Hon! You won't regret it!

"Hon is great. I was very impressed with how pro-active he was in helping us find the right home when I contacted him through his website on a property I was interested in a few years ago. Our home search took a few years but he was extremely patient with us and helped us look around and looked for places that could possibly fit our needs. He gave great advice and was there every step of the way in assisting us in the home purchase. My husband and I felt extremely comfortable working with him because we find him to be trustworthy, honest and extremely efficient! Definitely recommend his services to anyone I know.

"I cannot speak highly enough of Hon. He was a pleasure to work with, gave us sound advice, helped us find the right home and navigate the buying process in about as pleasant a fashion as I can imagine.

"Despite being somewhat particular with the selection of our house (it took us 8 months to find the right one), at no point did we feel rushed by Hon to commit to something we weren’t comfortable with. He was always willing to show us potential properties, and gave us his honest opinion to protect our best interests. We were also impressed with Hon’s willingness to always be available. Phone calls were almost always answered, and emails were replied to quickly. Since we were first time home buyers, we relied heavily on Hon’s knowledge to guide us through the closing process. His referrals made it easy to select the correct people to complete the purchase.

"I'm writing to thank you and give my highest recommendation to one of your realtors, Hon Shin. We were attracted to Vanguard for the company's progressive no nonsense approach to marketing and selling our home. We appreciated the fact that you and Hon understood what our house meant to us right away, and that you put a lot of effort into finding buyers of like-minded taste to take ownership of a house we felt was special. Day to day, month to month, Hon demonstrated a lot of tenacity, by sticking with a solid plan of showings, open houses and follow up calls to prospective buyers. Hon was efficient and followed through on everything he said he would do. We received feedback from neighbors who attended an open house that Hon's manner was attentive, yet not overbearing. He let people look around, was available to answer all and any questions, but didn't make anyone feel uncomfortable or under pressure. We feel this is the right approach in today's market, and Vanguard's progressive business strategies using today's most current technologies, keeps prospective buyers in the loop without the usual sales pressure that puts buyers off. In closing, Linda and I agree that we made the right choice in picking Vanguard as our real estate company. What's more, when we're ready to buy our new home, we'll be going back to Vanguard and you can bet we'll be asking for Hon Shin specifically.

""작년 12월 Vanguard Realty의 Hon Shin Agent를 통해서 Allston에 3 Unit House를 구입 했습니다. 약 7개월간 Mr. Shin과 함께 부동산 시장을 돌아보면서 느낀 점이 몇가지 있습니다. Mr. Shin은 1. 보스톤 지역 부동산 시장에 대한 정확한 분석과 예리한 상황판단을 하고 있었습니다. 2. 구매를 유도하거나 강하게 권유하여 고객을 불편하게 하는 경우가 전혀 없었습니다. 3. 항상 성실하고 예의가 바른 사람이었습니다. 4. 약속을 꼭 지키는 Agent 였습니다. 5. 매매계약이 종결 된 뒤에도 여러번 전화해서 더 도와 드릴일이 없는지를 물어보는 따듯한 Agent였습니다. 강력히 추천합니다.
