Pearl You

I had an incredible experience working with Pearl and Kevin as my realtor. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs. (Kevin knows everything... if you have questions, he will have the answers :))

They took the time to understand what my wife and I were looking for in a home, and educate us the difficult home-buying process. They were always available to answer our questions, and provided valuable insights into the local real estate market that helped me make informed decisions.

What we appreciated most about working with Pearl and Kevin was their dedication to support throughout the entire process, and made us feel like we were their top priority.

I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and supportive realtor who truly cares about their clients. Thank you, Pearl and Kevin for making our home-buying experience a truly amazing one! - PHILLIP NAM AND EUNICE JUNG

Pearl and Kevin together is a perfect combination of real estate market analytics and construction expertise.

Right from the start this process of home buying to the very end , Pearl was there in every step of the way.

Kevin with his engineering background will walk you through a lot of maintenance and rebuilding issues like roofing, plumbing, insulation etc.

Pearl had an extensive network of bankers and brokers that helped us getting a good deal on our home loan . She was there with us in all open houses . She was extremely meticulous and followed up with seller agents and all the other entities that are involved during the process of buying like escrow, lender etc . After closing the deal she helped us with a lot of maintenance work too. She is very resourceful and has wide web of people that can help you with cleaning, repair, termite control, gardening etc (all these things have been taken care after you buy and before you move in ).

As a first time home owner , having Pearl on our side, was very reassuring . Pearl's kindness and empathy shines through all this.

I would RECOMMEND Pearl and Kevin , especially if you are first time home buyer , you will have a brilliant team working with you. - NIRMALA AND RAJPAL

We don't usually write reviews for people or vendors in general, but because of the amazing service we have received from Pearl and Kevin, I felt compelled to write this. They took care of us the moment we had signed with them to sell our home. They patiently walked through all the logistics and kept us informed of the timeline and the paperwork. We wanted to make sure that our house was staged properly. They involved us in choosing the right staging company so that we can present the house in the best light possible. We appreciated them responding to us promptly during our countless questions. They were detail oriented to ensure that nothing fell into the cracks. Selling a home is a stressful process in general, but they made the process as enjoyable as possible with their friendly and approachable personalities. We never felt rushed to make hasty decisions or felt like we’re just a part of their usual business. We felt that they truly cared about us. We trusted that they were our fierce advocates for getting the best offer possible. We received multiple offers and sold our home for $500k above the list price and are ecstatic with the result. We highly recommend them to anyone seeking any real estate services. - HANNAH LEE & DONALD

I recently sold my house for a great price :) Without Pearl and Kevin, this lovely couple team, I would have not been able to get the same kind of price for the house. From the very beginning, they made a step-by-step plan for me and explained everything very clearly. I loved what they proposed, they stayed on top of every single detail during the entire process and I really didn't need to worry about anything. Everything moved so fast and I couldn't believe it.

Pearl hired a crew that upgraded the house at a very low price (paint, carpet, cleaning, fixing minor issues, installing new light fixtures...) and then hired a really amazing staging company that made my place look like one of those you would see in a design magazine.

Kevin is the technical brain behind all aspects. He is like Bob, Mr. Incredibles ;)

Most importantly, they are really kind and genuine people you would absolutely love to work with and can trust 100%. I have mentioned how awesome they are to my friends so that my friends will take the benefit and pleasure to work with them in the future :) If you are thinking about selling or buying your place, they are the first people you should consider. - SUMI LIM

Pearl helped me with finding an agent for selling my home in Whittier.

Her fantastic connections got me a highly motivated + marketing savvy agent. My property sold above listing price. She mitigated any conflicts between myself and agent in an amicable + timely manner.

I worked with her again for selling a condo in Marina del Rey. She continuously impressed me with her top notch connections + high-end service. She connected me to an agent who is well known for representing luxury condos in west side.

There is no limit when it comes to geography since Pearl proved she has unlimited resources in California. - HYEEUN HUGHES

"We worked with Pearl and Kevin to sell our home. It was our first time selling and a bit nerve-wracking as a result. Their comfort and ease in walking us through the entire process, hands-on approach to help us prepare the property, and constant and clear communication end-to-end made the selling process so smooth. You can count on them to give guidance without being pushy and feedback that you may not want to hear, but is critical to the success of the transaction. You won't find any hollow BS salesperson responses from these two!

Remember, you're getting two realtors in this package deal - that means two sets of discerning eyes looking out for you and your home. Not one agent and a bunch of underlings to do the grunt work, but two professionals who partner together with you to chart the best course of action. Combine Pearl's sense of style and knowledge of trends (the Chic) and Kevin's background in engineering and construction (the Geek) and you can see why they would be formidable partners to represent you.

You can't go wrong with Pearl and Kevin by your side. It was so refreshing to meet with and work with realtors who truly had our best interests at heart. It was evident from the beginning that they conducted themselves with integrity. They gave us the space to make decisions that were right for us yet gently shepherded us along when we got bogged down on minor details and lost track of the ultimate long-term goal! There is no better team to have on your side when the stakes are so high. Give it a shot, have a chat with them." - BENJAMIN LIM

"My wife and I purchased our first home with Pearl and Kevin in November 2021. As expected in the Bay Area, the process was intense but their resources and expertise helped us feel prepared!

Pearl had useful, up-to-date information about the neighborhoods we were looking in. She was quick to get back to us with any questions she couldn’t answer on the spot. Oftentimes finding answers before we had gotten our seat belts on in our car! Pearl is extremely professional, very timely and detailed in her responses, and always eager to help. This has continued well past the home-buying process, and Pearl is still someone we can rely on for advice and resources for our home.

Kevin will ferret out any problem a house might potentially have. After walking through a handful of houses with him we picked up a wealth of knowledge, and learned what are common quirks, problem spots, and what to look out for. He’s eager to teach, which was greatly appreciated as we are now responsible for maintaining our first home ever! With any serious contenders, Pearl and Kevin went through the various reports and disclosures with us, flagging any potential concerns, their severity, and potential costs associated with them. They were also able to give great advice on things we could do ourselves versus things we would need to contract out for.

Pearl and Kevin’s workshops about the home buying process were very informative and useful. This ensured we were prepared to make offers on houses with aggressive deadlines. As we were first exploring different neighborhoods within our budget, our search spanned the entire peninsula. Pearl and Kevin (and Bora 🐱) were troopers on long days stretching from Pacifica to Santa Clara. In the end, we looked at 28 houses over 3 weeks and had our second offer accepted. We couldn’t be happier with the home we are in and feel like we got a really great deal!" - MAX MORTON

"I had a house to sell in Merced. Knowing Pearl, I asked her and Kevin to sell my house for me. I was surprised when they told me that they wouldn’t do it, at least not themselves. They explained that they didn’t feel comfortable about being able to give the best service for something that far out of their home territory. Thanks to Pearl and Kevin - they connected me to an amazing Agent that helped me prepare my house, position it perfectly, and sell it really well - all remotely, while I was here in the Bay Area. Pearl and Kevin were always available for questions and monitored the whole process, making sure that I was taken care of. Pearl even went to Merced right before the property was listed - to make sure that everything was ready to go. Thank you so very much! Awesome service with my best interests always at the front." - HYUNJUNG OH

"Pearl You and Kevin James helped us buy our home in Los Gatos in September 2021. We could not be happier with our experience! We began working with them in April of 2021 but we were not ready to pull the trigger on a home just yet as we were preparing to relocate from southern California and selling our current home. Pearl and Kevin knew we were only browsing at that time but they gave us just as much attention as their active clients. They took us out to see a variety of homes which helped us understand the market and helped them understand what we were looking for. For several months we browsed homes remotely and they were always available to answer our questions and help us understand the Silicon Valley market. Once we decided it was time to buy a home, Pearl and Kevin worked fast, which we loved! Still living in southern California, we flew out for a house hunting weekend and saw 6 homes of our choosing. We had an offer in on our prime choice within a couple days of seeing the house. Pearl & Kevin helped us to negotiate and within 48 hours we had our offer accepted below asking price! This is unheard of in the current housing market, especially in Silicon Valley! But these awesome agents didn't stop there. Once our offer was accepted Pearl & Kevin were highly involved every step of the way working with the loan offer, escrow company, and even helping us secure contractors for various work we had done on the home. Each time we texted them they responded within minutes and they always followed up to ensure our experience with each vendor was a good one. We truly could not recommend these agents more! Not only are they amazing real estate agents but they are also really good people. We would highly recommend them to our friends and family. You can't go wrong with these two!" - CRYSTAL PENA

_

"I had another agent before working with Pearl and Kevin. The biggest difference I found was Pearl and Kevin’s genuineness and integrity. They were interested in my interest and vision. They also tried to get the best price for me. I was going to offer a higher price, but Pearl told me I can offer a LOWER price than that. Guess what? Yes, I got my first home! Her sensitivity about the offering price was right on. A few months later, I’m still shocked how much my new home has everything I dreamed of! As a first-time homebuyer, I didn’t have much knowledge about this process. Every step of the way, Pearl and Kevin helped me. She asked questions to learn about my needs and gave me feedback that helped me prioritize them. Kevin gave me his opinions about house construction and remodeling knowledge. Going through the buying process could have been a hard learning experience, but with Pearl and Kevin, it was seamless. When I need to sell my property, I will go with this team again. Not only I know they would work hard to sell it at the best price, but also they make you feel part of an unbeatable team. Chic n the Geek is truly a gem. I’m one lucky client. Highly recommend this team!" - SOPHIA KIM

_

"I highly recommend Chic n the Geek real estate agents! Pearl and Kevin are the ultimate professional realtors. They helped us buy a home for and with my son. It was no easy task searching for a property that fit all of our needs especially since sometimes they were opposing needs.

Pearl and Kevin are a perfect team: they listened to what we each wanted, set-up a variety of properties to help us hone in on what would fit our contrasting wish lists, asked for honest feedback throughout the process so that they were always improving with what they showed us. They also provided valuable input (pros and cons of properties, potential improvements and cost estimates, and in the crazy times of overbidding, invaluable input on value vs range of possible bids).

Buying a home in this valley can be stressful, but Pearl and Kevin were an ever-calming presence. What was super cool, is that they didn’t disappear after we signed the papers. They helped us with the termite process, helped us understand the inspections so that we were comfortable with what had to be done before moving in and what we could do in time. In the end, we have a wonderful starter home for our son. Pearl and Kevin's service could not have been any better throughout the entire process." - ROSALIE WALTON

"Our experience was great. We were trying to buy a house in the craziest market I've ever been involved. Pearl and Kevin guided us through with great market evaluations explaining the properties strengths and downsides. It was always a no pressure situation with them.. It took four attempts to get the house we wanted, but ultimately we made the right offer. And it's not over once the purchase was complete, they provided help in setting up contractors, as well as an offer to borrow Kevin's vast array of tools and hardware for us to get the job done ourselves. I know we will use Pearl and Kevin's services the next time we are purchasing or selling one of our properties." - DAVID WALTON

_

"Pearl is a meticulous and considerate agent. She took the time to understand our needs and provided valuable guidance regarding the home buying process. Kevin helped us understand the details of home inspections and myriad of reports that accompany a home purchase. Pearl was very communicative and promptly sent us new houses on the market and scheduled showings quickly since we were working in a seller's market. She would also give us realistic estimates of a home price to keep us grounded and have the best chance with an offer! We would love to work with Pearl again and think she is a perfect real estate agent to work with!" - MEGHA CHAUHAN

_

"We were first time homebuyers and really lucked out with Pearl and Kevin. They started us out with a crash course on real-estate documents and concepts, where they spent a lot of time going over the details of each part of the contract, which enabled us to jump right into the home buying process. A couple of months later, we got the keys to our very own home!

Both Pearl and Kevin made themselves available to see houses with us at the drop of a hat, whether it was a weekday afternoon or weekend evening. They always brought their 100% to each house, and kept us grounded during the bidding process. For each house we were interested in, they spent time reviewing and evaluating the inspection reports with us, giving us a better understanding of the house.

Pearl was patient and responsive the entire time. Her strategic thinking at a crucial moment got our offer accepted. Kevin's proficiency in home construction is invaluable. He has great insight into how homes are built, and educated us on the basics of foundations, roofing, plumbing, electrical, etc. Diving into crawl spaces and attics with him was such an adventure!

Apart from this, they are authentic, fun, humorous, and just all-round awesome people, whom we also consider good friends. Both of them went above and beyond for us, and made a typically stressful experience into an enjoyable ride. They even made our closing day extra special :) Thank you Pearl and Kevin!"
- MERYL BRADLEY

"It would be impossible for me to overstate Pearl and Kevin's excellence. Thanks to them, my family and I felt completely cared for throughout our home buying process. Most impressively, that care started well before we ever made an offer, and it has continued far beyond our closing and move-in date. Indeed, through working with Pearl and Kevin, we not only found the most attentive, trustworthy, and professional realtors we could have hoped for, we also gained two genuine, lifelong friends. We will always look forward to hearing from them, and we would never even think about working with anyone else. In short, I recommend Pearl and Kevin as highly and as sincerely as I possibly can." - MICHAEL JUDGE

"Pearl and Kevin are extremely professional, hardworking, and higly dedicated to their job. They are good people who are patient, caring, listening, and honest.

We sold our old house and purchased a new one during the second half of 2020. It was a very long and stressful journey, but I believe it was possible only because we worked with Pearl and Kevin. During the sale and purchase, my wife and I called Pearl and Kevin numerous times from morning to late night, and they were always available to us. From little details to major decisions, they did everything they could, gave us their honest opinions based on experience and research, and guided us to make the best decision possible. Many times our minds were filled with negative thoughts, but they helped us keep calm by listening to us and encouraging us with caring words.

My wife and I consider ourselves very lucky to have ran into Pearl and Kevin. We made many good memories while we were selling and searching for a new house; my favorite is investigating the crawl space of my current house with Kevin and getting a crash course on foundation.

Our meetings and phone calls continued even after the home purchase. Per our request, Pearl recommended a very skilled, fast-working, yet affordable contractor who updated our house. She also reached out to several termite and storage companies for competitive pricing. The service that Pear and Kevin provided was so much and so vast that we are very grateful.

We made such a great purchase for the new house I don’t think we’ll need realtor help for a while. However, we’ll continue our relationship with Pearl and Kevin as one family to another and make more cherishable memories with them.

Thank you, Pearl, and thank you, Kevin. Seoyi is so bright and so happy at the new house. Thank you again for making it all possible." - HAN JOO, JAEEUN, & BABY SEOYI

"It was a great home buying journey with Pearl and Kevin. The first meeting with Pearl and Kevin was online due to covid 19. We started our home buying journey with the document reviewing workshop. Pearl and Kevin were really hardworking and prepared at every home buying stage. It was my first home buying experience so it was uncharted waters. I wanted to have partners who are knowledgeable and trustful in this journey. And Pearl and Kevin were the right partners I was looking for! (They are more than partners, they are friends:)) My family could find the best fit home for our first home. We love our new place very much. Even after the closing, Pearl and Kevin checked with me if everything was right and helped me to set up things for my new home. Home buying could have been a stressful process, however It was a successful and also a joyful journey with them. If I describe Pearl and Kevin with three keywords_Professional, Trustworthy, Sincere! I definitely would like to have this experience again in the future with them. Thanks, Pearl & Kevin." - EUNJAE LEE

"My sincere thank you to Pearl and Kevin for being the most amazing mentor and partner through the entire process of my purchase. For anyone looking to buy/sell, I highly recommend this dream team. You ask me why? 1. In the beginning stages, based on my wishlist and budget, they narrowed down ideal cities giving me a starting point. 2. Details, details, details. They will comb through everything for you. No stone is left unturned. 3. They never pressured me to buy and I felt they genuinely want me to find the home I love. And at times when I had forgotten my top 3 priorities, Pearl gently reminded me of those. 4. They work fast. Their combination of details and speed differentiates me from other buyers in this competitive market to my advantage. Lastly, they are just awesome people. They are so authentic, honest, and funny. These two are the trusted partners you want when in housing market." - SARAH PARK

"Pearl (and Kevin) and I met at one open house about 2 years ago. We were very interested in buying our first home but did not have much knowledge. She knew that and kindly arranged a few courses, teaching us from the scratch. Meanwhile, she brought us to see many houses, using these real examples to guide us on what to consider and to check while going to buy a house. We finally find a dream home this year. It's been a wonderful journey working with Pearl and Kevin. Pearl is very responsive and efficient in arranging almost everything regarding home buying. She always thinks of our needs and advantages. Kevin is really knowledgeable in terms of structures and materials. We love seeing houses with them because we can directly envision whether the house can be improved to match our favors with the right price if there is something we don't like. We have excellent experience working with them. We are really lucky to have them. Thank you very much, Pearl and Kevin!" - CHENG-TAI & CHEN-YING

"It’s been such a pleasure working with Pearl and Kevin for the past few months. I first met Pearl at an open house while I was just roaming around not knowing what I was doing. She graciously offered to help me out and asked if I was interested in attending some first time home buyer workshops. I said yes not really knowing what that was all about. Since then, I’ve been meeting with Pearl and Kevin one on one.. or one on two I guess (just me and both of them). They’ve spent a lot of time preparing information on what I was interested in learning. Both Pearl and Kevin are super knowledgeable on the housing market, the available housings in the Bay Area, and all the processes and complexities associated with home buying. They went over a lot of technical information and answered all my questions. I would recommend Pearl and Kevin with no reservation. They’re such a good team, with much expertise, and will genuinely put the clients best interests first. I really appreciate that their goal is to help me find my perfect home and not to find something as fast as possible. I can firmly say that Chic n the Geek have my trust completely when it comes to home buying. Also, they’re such a cute couple 😉" - SHANNON YANG

"It is with -- great pleasure -- that I write this review for Chic n the Geek. I was referred by a friend. When we first met, Pearl assessed my goals and expectations. She explained all the factors that come into play when purchasing a home. She helped me decide on purchasing a house vs condo, and decide on the city and then the neighborhood. I decided on a home, and I was fortunate to have also the perspective of James on the house assessment, needed repairs, processes. They both helped with me understand the disclosures, various options and in making difficult decisions. They drew up a persuasive offer, which was accepted. During the time of Covid, the lender pulled back their approval letter for the loan. This created a lot of challenges, for myself, my realtors, the seller agent and the seller. There was a lot of coordination to be made. They were both well prepared for the challenges. They referred me to a wonderful lender. In time, I closed, and now I have a new home. I couldn't be more thankful for the support I had from Chic n the Geek. Throughout the process, I knew I was getting accurate information, that they had my best interest first and foremost. I felt like I was being cared for in the same way by friends and family. I recommend Chic and the Geek, with no reservations. I would totally seek them for my next realty transaction. Thank you Peal and James!" - FADI JOSEF

"I've known Pearl and Kevin for nearly 2 years. I met Kevin while checking out an open house and met Pearl soon after. Pearl listened and assessed what i was looking for as a home and explained all the steps and factors involved in a home purchase. Both Pearl and Kevin have always answered my questions in great detail and always with my best interest at heart. Their Chic n the Geek newsletter is very informative, providing contrasting points of view and is always a pleasure to read. Kevin has a great deal of knowledge on home repairs and improvement in the homes I have seen. I hope to find the home of my choice with their help in the near future. I would recommend Pearl and Kevin to anyone who is looking to purchase a home. Thank you Pearl and Kevin!" - EVAN LAU

"Pearl and Kevin were the best realtor team we could have ever imagined! I am so glad that my husband struck a conversation with Pearl at a random open house in mountain view! People rightly say that the first impression is the last impression. From that day on, we never looked back!

Pearl and Kevin are so thorough with the whole process and left no stone unturned during the whole time and believe me, our home buying process took a long long time! They asked questions which made us think hard and prioritize our needs. Their questions made us identify our needs, wants, deal-breakers etc. They explained the whole home buying process in great detail helping us understand all the real-estate lingo, enabling us to feel confident and prepared. Once we were done with this exercise, Pearl instantly knew what we wanted and from then on, every weekend and sometimes even weekdays, we four were out-and-about, checking out properties. And in that process, we all became such good friends! So much so that Pearl and Kevin specially planned a trip to India for our wedding :) We are practically family now!

Kevin and Pearl make up for an efficient real estate duo. Pearl’s real-estate expertise where she picks out the right house, in the right neighbourhood, checking all your boxes, specifically curated based on your needs. Pearl finds out the reason behind your choices and she works hard to make buyers feel comfortable and puts you at ease with the entire home buying experience. After Pearl is done with her research, that’s when Kevin steps in, laying out all the structural details of each property, finding flaws that are not disclosed and even provides an idea of the potential monetary/time investment for needed repairs/upgrades. This helps buyers make informed decisions about the bidding process and when to let go of a property you like (trust me, it’ll happen!).

I totally understand that real-estate isn’t an easy job. No weekends, late nights, early mornings, and vacations - do you even recognize that word? The payoff is that Pearl and Kevin get to spend their days helping people make their dreams come true!

In today’s competitive market, it takes a lot of skill to get your buyers the house of their dreams and they did exactly that for us. They have not only become our realtor for life but our chosen family here in the Bay Area! " - SANJEEVANI BHARDWAJ & ABHISHEK BISHT

"We had lived in the Midwest for more than 35 years before we decided to move to the Silicon Valley where our son's family lived. After we found ourselves uncomfortable in the last two homes in which we had lived for six years, we thought we would give a third and final try to find a home suitable to our needs. At the first meeting with Pearl and Kevin, we explained our situation to them in details. They were patient and carefully listened to understand our somewhat unique needs in the Silicon Valley. Sometimes Kevin raised a few questions to reorganize our thoughts. Pearl were tirelessly searching for the right house in the right neighborhood, and Kevin, as an engineer, gave us his honest and fair evaluations on the foundation, used construction materials and stability of the candidate properties. They seemed to be trying to find their own house. Naturally it took us a longer period of time to find a home satisfactory to us than we expected to spend. Not only they have helped us settle in our new house, but also they ceaselessly assist us with everything including automobiles, plants, trees, furniture, mails, etc. Pearl and Kevin are down-to-earth, genuine and competent human beings, and they are our good friends forever." - JEI AND KYUNG RYOO FROM REDWOOD CITY

"I have bought two homes, have rented my house with the help of an agent, and have rented several apartments of my own, and I have never met an agent who is as caring and sincere as Pearl You. The situation is my fiancé and I are new to California, and we were looking for an apartment to rent in Palo Alto. It was so confusing that we decided we should get help. So I walked into the Alain Pinel San Francisco Marina location, and explained our situation. The lady at the front desk said they don't handle Palo Alto rentals at that branch, but that she would be happy to send a company-wide (wow!) email to see if someone in the local Palo Alto area could help. An hour later, I got a call from Pearl You, and we talked about what things we were looking for in our rental. Couple of hours later, Pearl followed up with an email with very helpful information about Palo Alto and the kinds of things we were looking for ( nearby volleyball, tennis, hiking, etc). Over the next several days, she was in contact with me every day, sending listings, and helping me sort our through various neighborhoods and homes. AND she did all of this without any expectation of getting a commission!! To this day, I have not met Pearl You, but we have texted back and forth so much that she feels like a best friend. We ended up renting a beautiful apartment in downtown Palo Alto, and I will definitely use Pearl for buying our future home." - SHAHLA NEJAD 2018 FROM UNIVERSITY SOUTH

"We worked with Pearl and Kevin to close on a house in the Milpitas neighborhood and our experience with them was really cool. We went to their open house to just check out the house- we did not have a pre-approval in place or have everything put together - however because we liked the house, they helped through with everything required and was able to successfully get our offer approved and close on the house! Kevin is a very knowledgeable person and can provide insights into the structure and other aspects of the house. Both of them are very genuine people and we enjoyed working with them. We would highly recommend their services." - MONICA AUGUSTIN 2018 FROM MILPITAS

"I had an excellent experience working with Pearl and Kevin, I am a first time home buyer and Pearl won me over great rapport upon our first meeting. She was able to accommodate me with looking at home during the weekdays, sometimes with short notice request. We looked at many homes and she was patient with me and provided valuable feedback. Pearl and Kevin were very knowledgeable about the neighborhood I was interested in and were always readily available for consults, even outside of normal office hour. Pearl and Kevin combined make a great team. I am very impressed by their experience and professionalism, I am very happy with the service they provided!" - WINNIE TSAI

"It’s my real pleasure to write this review. I rarely write reviews but I think any seller or buyer could really benefit from this.

I feel whole heartily grateful and lucky to have Pearl and Kevin as my buyer's agents. I cannot say enough thanks for their total above and beyond expertise and dedication helping me get my house, among almost 20 offers.

Pearl and Kevin is such a unique, perfect and beautiful team and couple, I was literally having two outstanding agents helping me. They are extremely resourceful, passionate, dedicated, patient and fun to be with. In addition, they are so impressively smart and creative, and sincere.

They handheld me every step of the way. I have complete trust and confidence in them. They even uplifted my spirit in the frustrating bidding process, while they try to work out a good strategy and deal for me. I think they were more nervous than I but they kept every one of us calm.

Pearl and Kevin not only helped me with the purchase smoothly and pleasantly. They helped me many many times after the purchase to do inspections and perform high-quality repairs themselves. They stayed in the new house late to replace/install appliances, fix stairs, etc. They totally treated as if it was like their own and try to make it perfect for us to move in ready.

While Kevin is so knowledgeable, smart, fun, and handy, Pearl is so creative, smart, charming and artistic. She provided some great advice and information on window treatments. They also have lots of good connections in the field in case needed.

I highly recommend Pearl and Kevin. I will definitely ask for their help again if we need in the future.

I would be very happy to be a reference for them if anyone needs it." - HENLEN CHENG

"My parents who recently moved to the Bay Area were initially shocked by the housing market. They were concerned about finding an ideal place within their budget, and Pearl and Kevin understood their needs and navigated their way toward finding the ideal retirement house for my parents. From the initial meeting with Pearl, we noticed that Pearl was very genuine and attentive in understanding the kind of house my parents wished to purchase. She was very transparent, thorough, and informative during the house hunting process and was very prompt in responding to our questions and concerns. What sets Pearl and Kevin apart is that they truly take care of their clients. They dedicated their time in ensuring that my parents settled into the house with no problems. Even after my parents moved in, Pearl and Kevin continued to help them with their questions regarding house maintenance and improvement. My parents and I are so grateful to Pearl and Kevin for their dedicated service and for the friendship that has been formed from working with them." - SUE CHO

"Pearl and Kevin were introduced to me when I approached Alain Pinel for Seller's agent.
I had a very specific house to buy, a very limited time to prepare and specific constraints.
Pearl and Kevin as a team were very effective at assessing the situation and making sure the property was going to meet my short term and long term need. They also came up with very genuine and inventive ideas to pursue this deal. It was immensely valuable in this competitive seller's market. They responded to my questions and informed me of the situations almost in real time. They were extremely detail oriented team. Needless to say, we were successful at purchasing the property. The consultations and assistance they provided after the transaction was also extremely invaluable. I couldn't be happier with this team." - LIANG CHEN
