Alameda & Santa Clara County Homes for Sale

Testimonials


Yvette has been with us every step of the way from starting the house search to moving in and settling down. She's extremely hard working, patient, sincere and a genuine person. As a first time home buyer, we were really bent on buying a turn key home. However, we fell in love with a place that needed some work. Yvette helped us immensely in finding help and co-ordinating the renovations after we got the house. We were able to complete a lot of work in less than a month and move in and she was with us every step of the way even after close of escrow. We wish her all the best!

We have had great experience and result from Yvette Teng & Simon Kiang Real Estate Team. If you are thinking about selling or buying, we highly recommend their service

Like most people, as soon as we thought about selling our home, we did some research on the internet ourselves. It was not pleasant to learn that it was buyers’ market. We knew  that we need professionals to represent us. Since the house was our biggest investment, we were nervous, and had many questions.

Yvette and Simon had not only answered all our questions, they sold our home fast. During this whole process, we were kept in the communication loop, and felt in control at all times. Of course, we were anxious. But when the transaction completed, we soon realized how convenience this whole process was. Yvette and Simon offer services that make our life so much easier.

Knowledge, dedication, professionalism, integrity, and fairness are a few words to describe Yvette and Simon’s Team.  We are very glad that we engaged their service and are very happy with the results, and we are confident that you will be, too.

Simon Kiang and Yvette Teng recently represented me when I decided to sell my three-bedroom condo.  I can’t give enough positive feedback regarding their service.  They did an excellent job!  They were very caring and on top of all my requests and questions (returning every single phone call!).  They were also very patient as they guided me through the process until we were successful in selling my unit.  My condo was staged to perfection and looked far better than when I lived there.  They bring in all new furniture and make sure the place looks its best for showing and open house events.  I highly recommend using their service and will do so, without hesitation, to any family or friends who need an agent.

This was my second experience with Yvette, this time as a seller instead of a buyer, and not much has changed. I still received the same fantastic, hassle-free service and professionalism as the first time (2 years ago). The whole process from beginning to end flowed smoothly and efficiently. Yvette has this uncanny ability to make obstacles and issues simply fade away, a trait I wish I possessed. She has raised the bar so high that excellence has become second-nature to her. I enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend Yvette as the best "you can't go wrong" option for any real estate needs.

Hi Yvette,

 

We couldn't be happier with what you and Simon did to help us along with the whole transaction!  You definitely went above and beyond in making it all happen, from the first conversation, helping us establish a fair price, through clean up and staging, walking us through everything right up to "hand holding" at the title company.  We've been through several buying and selling experiences before and this was definitely the most smooth and painless. 

 

You guys are great and we've already passed your name around to acquaintances who may be looking for the BEST REALTOR in the business! 

 

Thanks again and we'll definitely be in touch.

Take care,

We'd like to thank Yvette Teng from Remax for making it possible for us to own a property at this stage of the market. We are first time home buyers and we have been looking for a property since April 2005 and we have gone through a lot but nobody was able to extend the help that Yvette did. She is a person that does not treat you as a client, she treats you as a friend who needed some guidance and reassurance, we're so glad that we met Yvette.

We are very happy to choose Simon and Yvette as our agents to sell our home in Union City.  In late July 2005, we just had less than 3 weeks to sell our home before moving to another state.  We interviewed with several realtors, and the sales strategy and plan that Simon and Yvette put together for us was very professional and very impressive. They also promised us many extra value added services (staging, landscaping, cleaning, etc.) which other agents didn't offer. We were a little skeptical about all their promises at the time we signed the contract with them. But a few days later when Simon and Yvette started to send their team to work on my house, we knew immediately that we made the right choice. This team was so organized and very efficient.

 

Our house was sold above our asking price in one weekend as a result of the right marketing strategy and the excellent preparation from Simon and Yvette team. Their sense about the real estate business/market, their knowledge of the Union City community and their services should be the benchmark for all the realtors. We strongly recommend Simon and Yvette to everyone who is seeking for the 1st class Real Estate Agent.

Yvette & Simon have done a great job in getting us what we want for our property. To go beyond what most agents would do, they staged our property to look its best, and stay on top of the entire selling process. They were responsive and honest, and at the end, we felt that commission check they got was very well deserved.

Simply amazing! Yvette had my house listed, staged and sold in 6 days. And on top of that, my house was sold for above what I expected. Yvette is very personal, professional, honest, knowledgeable and very easy to work with.  She is never too busy to help and goes the extra mile for you.  After the transaction, we are now friends. I would definitely  recommend her to my friends and family.

Hi Yvette,

I just wanted to express my many thanks for all your professional and amicable assistance in helping me find a new place. I know it's cliché to say that you really know your stuff, and that your expertise really Helped me find a home quickly when houses were being over-bid and the possibility of rising interest rates loomed overhead. It's all true, though. But what I think really sets you far and apart from the rest is your willingness to go the extra mile, your upbeat attitude, and your friendly personality. You've treated me like a friend from the beginning, and now, many months after the close of escrow, we still are! I like to tell my friends and family that not only did I purchase a new house in this deal, but I also earned a fantastic, new friend! There are so much more good things to say about you Yvette, but I think anyone who has the opportunity to work with you will find out for themselves.

Thanks so much for everything!"
One happy home-buyer,

"Yvette had sincerely listened to my needs and took great efforts to search for a house that exceeds my expectations. She was there to sort out rough spots with all her expertise and knowledge, and was skillful in her negotiation skills to work things out for me. In addition, she went through great lengths to commit herself to make my dream house come true. She is definitely an outstanding realtor. I would highly recommend Yvette to anyone looking to buy or sell a house."

"We are very fortunate to have had Yvette as our realtor. She is very patient and tries very hard to meet our needs. Over a period of a few months of searching for our home Yvette took us to quite a few listings, some of which we wanted to see and some which she suggested. After many weekends of looking we found a house we really liked and Yvette negotiated a great deal for us. We are confident that when it comes time to sell our house we will be contacting Yvette because we know she works very hard for her clients."

Adam Zerwick, 2004

 



"We wanted to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to Yvette for her professional help in our real estate transactions. Her dedication, infinite patience, and consideration are just a few of the many qualities she possesses which make her so successful and trustable. Her thorough real estate knowledge, and constant communication have made our selling and buying process extremely smooth and simple. The best compliment I can ever give Yvette is to provide her more referrals as I wish that everyone around me receives the same attention as I did during a real estate process."

We had just purchased our new home and needed a realtor to sell our current home.  Initially a friend referred Simon and Yvette to us.  On our first face-to-face meeting it became very clear that they were the best-prepared team of realtors that we had met since the beginning of our home search, which lasted over a year and a half.  Over that course of time we had probably met over 50 other realtors through open homes and other.

Simon and Yvette came with a pricing strategy and a complete marketing plan to have our home exposed to the largest possible audience.  In addition, they had a team of people lined up to have the house prepared for the best appearance.  There market analysis of the possible sale price astonished us. It was beyond our expectations, and Simon assured us it would go for that or higher.

 

Simon and Yvette's team prepared our house and we were amazed at how beautiful it looked after the makeover.  We almost didn't want to leave that house since it looked so nice.

 

The marketing plan and house preparation was a huge success.  There were 21 offers.  Every one of them was above listing.  It was finally sold for 56k over without a single hitch to the process.

 

Through out the planning and sale, everything was planned as a project. All the timelines and appointments were on schedule.  We felt it would be a good example of Project Management for a university class.

 

This successful transaction wouldn't have been possible if it were not for all the professional qualities that Simon and Yvette exhibited, i.e., follow-up, market knowledge, contacts, preparation, punctuality, and professional demeanor, most importantly, honesty and integrity.

 

We wholeheartedly recommend Simon and Yvette for any real estate needs you may have, they are fully committed, determined and focused on fulfilling their clients' needs.
