The answer is simple: he works harder, but he also works smarter.

John has the ability and expertise to serve the diverse needs of his clients, from buying and selling properties to proactively handling 1031 exchanges, tax reassessments, and complete portfolio positioning. He specializes in single-family homes, condos, residential apartments, and small commercial buildings.

John belongs to The San Francisco Round Table, an exclusive real estate networking group consisting of top realtors in the city. He has seized this as an opportunity to promote his business, share new ideas, and learn from other Bay Area top realtors.

Additionally, his monthly consumer real estate column is published in two local newspapers. His reputation as a trusted advisor has earned him seats on the board of directors of several nonprofit organizations. John has served as the 2010 president of the San Francisco Association of Realtors (SFAR), 2008 president of the Chinese Real Estate Association of America (CREAA), 2012 treasurer of the Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA), and currently serving as a director of the California Association of Realtors (CAR), SFAR, and AREAA.

John owes his superb local knowledge to continuous San Francisco residency for over 30 years -- with the exception of four years at Berkeley where he earned his Bachelor of Science in engineering and two years at UCLA while obtaining his real estate-centered MBA.

John attributes his success to his ability to understand his clients, their needs, and the steps necessary to fulfilling their real estate goals. “John is the best agent because he listens well and knew exactly what I wanted to accomplish,” said one satisfied client.
