It was a great home buying experience for us and gladly Ted helped us with it. We have been working with him for close to a year. He is very quick with his responses and will answer/clear all your doubts patiently. He is flexible with his timings and will make sure it aligns with clients' time. Also, he is very up-to-date with changing market dynamics and advices you on the best possible solutions. Overall, we are really happy to have him as our agent and would definitely recommend him to others for any of your real estate needs.

Ted provides with exceptional service. When we started our search were unsure of what we were looking for. We had to iterate continuously to narrow down what we wanted. Ted was patient, kind and also thinking of options that would fit our use case. He Is very knowledgeable about the areas that we were interested in and totally understood our needs vs pushing something on us. So, I would wholeheartedly recommend Ted for your future home needs.

If you’re looking for a real estate agent who’s part Sherlock Holmes, part therapist, and part superhero, Ted is your person! As a first-time homebuyer in Fremont, CA, I was all over the place—changing my requirements more often than I changed my socks. Did Ted roll his eyes? Nope. He patiently guided me through every twist and turn for over a year without breaking a sweat or losing his smile. He answered my endless questions, no matter how trivial, and was impressively responsive—even during off-hours (seriously, does this guy sleep?). Ted knows the Fremont market like the back of his hand, predicting home prices and negotiation outcomes with eerie accuracy. When deals hit a snag, he didn’t just wave a white flag. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves and found creative solutions, making... Show More

Ted Chen is a phenomenal real estate agent who I cannot recommend more highly. He is the consummate professional, efficient, flexible, reliable, and very technically sound, well-versed in all the intricacies of real estate in the midst of a fluctuating and changing market. He has also assembled an extremely competent team full of team members who are extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and timely in communication. As an extremely busy healthcare professional, I needed someone I could trust to take care of all the details thoroughly and accommodate my very limited time schedule. Ted made my first real estate purchase manageable, smooth, easy, and mistake-free, unlike other real estate agents I have worked with. In layman terms or in pop culture terms, Ted is a “closer.” I highly endorse... Show More

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ted to purchase a new home, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the first meeting through to the final closing, Ted was professional, knowledgeable, and very responsive. He always replies to my text msg in a timely manner. At no point did we feel pressured to offer higher prices; he truly respected our choices and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. His dedication to finding the perfect property for me was evident in the countless hours he spent researching and viewing homes. If you are looking for a real estate agent who will put your needs first and guide you seamlessly through the buying process, look no further than Ted.

Ted is super knowledgeable about the area and can get deals done that seemingly had no chance. Ted gives good ideas on what to expect when buying in the Bay Area and knows exactly what gets people motivated in taking an offer (besides a higher offer price).

Ted was always working to make my purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with him was that he was always more focused on answering my questions, giving me good advice, and finding homes that met my needs than closing a deal.

If you think being a first time home buyer is difficult, try being a first time home buyer in the Bay Area during the Covid pandemic: that's a whole new level of "Difficult". Ted knew we wanted to purchase our first home, but our indecisiveness, different work locations, budget, etc. kept getting in the way. With Ted's guidance, we expanded our scope beyond single family homes, gained candid insight on the housing market, the crazy bidding wars, and evaluated recommendations based on Ted's careful observations of our personalities and reactions to multiple open houses. Numerous visits later, we put down a reservation deposit for a condo community: this was a brand new unit that we really loved and was too good to pass up. But we were still in the infant stages of shopping for a new... Show More

Ted was an excellent agent. He was very proactive and helpful, provided good guidance, and adapted to changes in circumstances. The original plan for sale was disrupted due to the pandemic and negotiating with the tenants, and Ted was very supportive through the process. He then did a great job in helping prep the property for sale, staging, viewing, and handling offers.

We would like to thank Ted for helping us buy our new home. Ted worked with our schedules and preferences throughout our home-buying journey. Always punctual, professional, and responsive. With COVID restrictions in place, he was prompt with the additional paperwork and scheduling that went along with it. Ted also suggested a few off-market listings within his network that matched our budget and requirements. Often he would provide some insights on how much it would cost us to get something fixed or re-done for a home and this would be helpful for us in determining our offer prices. I am happy to have worked with him and would be glad to recommend him to others.

We have super great experience with Ted in our first home buying. In a fast-paced, extremely competitive Bay Area real estate market and especially for first home buyers, choosing a right agent is a key. We are lucky and thankful to work with Ted on our home buying journey. He's very aggressive, dedicated and always available when we need help, 24 hours a day 7 days a week, literally. He's very knowledgeable in the whole process, remodel estimating, offer strategy... Thank you again Ted for helping us to own our first piece of real estate market in the Bay. Looking forward to work with you in the future. Will definitely recommend your expertise to our friends in need.

Ted was an incredible guide to my wife and I as we navigated the purchase of our first home. He knows the process of buying a house inside and out, and was more than happy to help us at each step of the process. His advice helped us make a winning offer, and he remained diligent throughout the closing process to ensure we stayed on track.

Ted is awesome, the best realtor I've worked with. Very professional, courteous, and extremely timely. Communication is a big deal, especially in a fast paced market, and Ted was always on top of his game. Doesn't try to "sell" you a home, instead he partners with you to find the right home for you and yours. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone looking to purchase property in the Bay Area.

Ted was quick, responsive and was able to multitask. All these were 3 very important things when it comes to making the right initial offer. The fact that we only offered once goes to show communication was very efficient. He was also helpful in providing advice and contacts about other support services that you need when buying a home. With all agents you need to be upfront about your expectations and that applies here as well. Overall i would recommend Ted and wouldn't hesitate to reuse him when needed.
