Jenny Wang

Giving Jenny Wang 1 star because it’s the lowest available. This woman is completely unprofessional and has absolutely zero communication skills.
I made the MISTAKE of letting her list my 4 unit apt building in Oakland and unfortunately it was a complete disaster. I finally had to deal directly with the McGuire broker to get the sale done.
Oh, by the way, instead of the customary 5% commission her agreement is 5.5% — because she does ‘so much work and spends so much on advertising’ — this is false. What she does do is charge the seller $ 22.99 for a carbon monoxide detector on the sellers closing statement!
Whatever you do, shop around for another agent — it would be very hard to find someone worse than Jenny Wang.

I’m so thankful that I was referred to Jenny by my very good friend. I am a very happy homeowner because of her. She held my hand throughout the several months of house searching, and she was incredibly responsive to every email, phone call, text, and telepathic signals too!
No question was too dumb, no request was too demanding, and I felt I could trust her — no joke!
I’ve been recommending her to anyone I know who is house hunting in the East Bay.

Jenny Wang is a gem! If you are able to work with her, you will be a very satisfied customer. Jenny helped us sell our house in the Elmwood in 2011 and we were very fortunate to have her on our team.
She did a fantastic job marketing the house and working with prospective buyers. She advocated for us throughout the process and supported us with all the tough decisions (emotional and financial!).
She is extremely knowledgeable about the Elmwood neighborhood, in particular, as she has lived and has worked in the neighborhood for a long time.
Jenny is a conscientious realtor who truly has your best interest at heart. She is extremely reliable and trustworthy, and follows through with every important detail. She is also very patient, and not at all pushy (a common complaint about realtors!)
I think what sets her apart from others is that she *really* goes the extra mile to make sure her clients are happy.
We highly recommend her!

First off, this is a long overdo review, given we have been living in the home Jenny helped us to find and buy, for over 6 months. But, after 6 months of settling into our new home and neighborhood, we feel more strongly than ever, the appreciation of having had Jenny’s guidance in the home buying process. We met Jenny after walking into McGuire’s office in the Elmwood. At the time, we were working with another realtor and interested in properties in Elmwood. Jenny was enthusiastic to share her insights on the nieghborhood, school districts, and even baby gear while we were in the office, all this despite not being our realtor at the time. Needless to say, after several months of disappointment with our previous realtor, we contacted Jenny. She helped us transition realtors professionally and seamlessly and quickly worked to understand what it was we were looking for. She helped put to words what we ourselves had trouble describing as our desires in a new home and neighborhood and helped re-​direct our search to the Albany area. During the entire search process, Jenny was patient, professional, and very easy to talk to. At times she was even more critical of homes we viewed than ourselves, pointing out flaws that new homeowners might overlook. It helped working with such a professional, yet unpretentious individual, who shared similar goals in a neighborhood. Jenny continues to check up on us, providing good contractor references and advice on home improvement projects. We would recommend her to anyone we know, particularly looking for East Bay homes, as she is indeed the expert. Most importantly, we love the home & neighbhorhood that Jenny helped us to buy.

My wife and I were looking to buy our first house, and we weren’t sure what to look for in a realtor. We met Jenny at an open house and felt immediately comfortable with her. If you’ve met realtors at open houses then you know this is not so common. Still, we wanted to «interview» a few realtors before choosing one. So we interviewed Jenny along with some recommendations from friends. Jenny seemed the most authentic, thoughtful and knowledgeable, so we went with our instincts and chose her. We’re very glad we did.
First of all, Jenny ended up being an expert in the location we ended up honing in on (the Elmwood/​Claremont part of Berkeley). She knew what was out on the market, what was soon coming out on the market, and what was possibly/​maybe coming out on the market shortly. In other words, she really knew her stuff.
Secondly, my wife and I were both *very* emotionally invested in this decision (who isn’t?), and Jenny was very good at dealing with our ups and downs. We felt that we could ask her any question and express any thought, and Jenny would honestly share her straightforward, professional opinion. She listened to our anxieties. She didn’t push us to buy anything, but gave us her own, invariably sound opinion about what was fairly priced and what was not. We felt we had a pro backing us up, who always let us know that the ultimate decision was up to us.
In the end, Jenny told us about a house that was soon to become available, and we were able to see it before it came to market. We made a pre-​emptive bid, and we got the house of our dreams. Not only that, but after all of that work, she helped us get bids for some of the work that needed to be done on the house!
I can imagine how someone might feel sick in their soul after going through the process (the search, the bid, the counter-​bids, etc.). But as my wife said recently, we felt good about both the process and our decision, and we felt great about our new neighborhood and home. Jenny is a realtor who really wants to make happy neighborhoods, and she certainly succeeded with us.
