Tracy Zhou

We were first-​time homebuyers stumbling around trying to navigate our way through the complicated ins and outs of a brutally competitive market. We just happened to meet Tracy while attending open houses. She quickly got us up to speed and patiently worked with us every step of the way. She even connected us with a fantastic mortgage broker. Within two months we found a house with a lot of potential that didn’t seem to be getting a lot of attention. She helped us make a competitive offer, then helped us negotiate a significant discount after our inspections revealed some hidden issues.
Tracy made what should’ve been a stressful experience feel easy. We’ll definitely work with her again when the time comes.

Tracy helped us close on a condo in Oakland back in May 2014. It was our first purchase ever, and in a city that we were unfamiliar with having only visited it just once.
Tracy made it a fun process as she not only took us to see various properties, she also showed us favorite local spots around the city where we grabbed lunch and continued our discussion with her.
Most importantly, Tracy proved to be a capable negotiator in a multiple offer situation, which was the case for us. We really wanted the property but we also didn’t want to overbid too much for it, as the listing was already well-​priced in our opinion. Tracy helped us formulate an offer that was above asking but not by much, and postured it as the most attractive offer to the seller.
Without question, we would definitely recommend Tracy to anyone looking to buy properties in East Bay.

We purchased our investment property through Tracy. While this is not our first-​time buying experience, the hassles and agonies of looking for houses, seeing them, and eventually making offers and negotiating prices etc. are just as much as before, if not more.
Tracy was with us through every step and really made our needs as her priority. Here are a few highlights of her excellent service:
1. When we first told her that we wanted to buy, she actually advised us NOT to do so, at least not yet. As at the time, many people were bidding to enter into a good school district, and prices are going crazy. When the timing became better, she helped us nail down the right house at a good price.
2. She’s a great negotiator. In our purchase, we had many rounds of back and forth with the seller/​sell agent. She helped us put in a competitive offer (right price and great terms) and because the timing was right, we eventually got the house even lower than asking price (rarely heard of these days).
3. She’s very patient in dealing with all of our questions and requests. In my short moment of «buyer’s remorse» (that has nothing to do with her), she worked with me and saw through the potentials. In the end, I really appreciate that she helped us got the house!
Thank you! Tracy!

I’m a first time home buyer and she helped me a lot in understanding the market in East bay area and the house purchasing process, recommending and taking me to the open houses that would suit my needs, be very patient and responsive whenever I have a question. So after 6 months working with her, I finally bought what I like. Thanks Tracy.
