Bought a home in 2011.
I can speak with assurance that Tina doesn't do it for the money. She genuinely wants to help her client find a home.

My recommendation was based on the follow: When I was choosing between a home on which she would receive full commission and one she would receive none, she offered her honest feedback and actually recommended the latter. I ended up purchasing neither of the two (win-win for both of us).

On the expertise side, I can always count on her to provide prompt responses/recommendations on almost anything, from home options (flooring material, upgrades) to electronic appliances. She is as resourceful as she is helpful.

Tina truly has her client's best interest in mind, and I have no reservation recommending her to anyone.

Bought a home in 2012.
We are very fortunate to have Tina as our buyer's agent. Earlier this year, based on the profiles and reviews available on Zillow, we planned to contact her. Our first time meet was to take a look at a foreclosure townhouse. She explained many questions clearly, and our discussion went pretty well. Thus, we decided to continue to let her as our agent. She is efficient in gathering information and preparing the documents ahead. For example, we think the efficient way is not to drop by so many different houses without a clear motivation, but to focus on the favor we like, e.g. lot size/ square feet/ price range/school. Based on the detailed information she provided, we finally got this great deal within 3 months. She always responds promptly to our questions and does her best to negotiate with the listing agent for us. She is always passionate and energetic, ready to help us even after the close of escrow. We strongly recommend her if you are looking for a buyer agent or listing agent.

Bought a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $1.0M in De Anza, Sunnyvale, CA.
We had the pleasure of working with Tina to purchase our first new home in 2012. We were very fortunate to meet Tina at the open house. Her honesty, responsiveness, and accessibility went beyond our expectations from a Realtor. She was very honest, disclosing any details on the listing. She was very hard working and always replied phone and emails promptly. She planned things ahead and explained every step to us, which is very important for us as first time home buyer. She always made sure all involved parties are fully informed and the process is moving along accordingly. During escrow, she was pro-active in dealing with our mortgage agent and the title company to ensure that escrow closed in a timely manner.

We are very happy to find such an exceptional real estate agent. We highly recommend Tina as your agent whether you are selling or searching for a home. She's a keeper.

Bought a home in 2011.
Knowledgeable, proactive, and intelligent way beyond the average level of a real estate broker, Tina knows the tools of her trade and uses them expertly to consistently produce excellent results. From high level market analysis, to knowledge of obscure local regulations, to a sharp eye always open for even the most minute details of a property, she will turn every bit of information into an advantage for her client.

Tina listened carefully to my requirements, observed my reaction to different properties, and continued refining the selection criteria, even as she was guiding me through increasingly more attractive properties. Once a purchase decision was made, she moved swiftly and competently to help me negotiate an excellent price and drive the deal to a close. Highly recommended!

Bought a home in 2011.
Tina did an exceptional job in our recent home purchase. She was customer oriented and very resourceful. Guiding us throughout the 'home shopping journey', she provided invaluable insights in remodeling and 'total cost of ownership'. She supported us many late evenings to draft up offers and to discuss our purchase decision. Having someone working closely with us made the stressful process much more enjoyable. I highly recommend Tina to anyone looking for a personable and efficient real estate professional.

Tina is very passionate with us when showing us the properties and also guiding us through the home buying process. She is very responsive with both email and phone. I am currently having problem with loan process and closing date and Tina is on top of it getting the process easier for us.

Showed home in 2010 in San Jose, CA.
Tina is the most helpful, knowldgeable and delightful agent I have ever used. She is analytical, and can present to me very clearly what and how my money can work for me in real estate; and best yet, she has an impeccable gift in knowing the taste of her clients, and so far every propoerty she brought me to is fits my price point and style, giving me a good idea of what my options are and a great feeling in what I do in this market. Shopping for a home can be stessful, but Tina is personable, informatioinal, motivated but never pushy, making the process fun and educational. I enjoy working with her a lot - I trust her completely.
