Brenda Tam – Zephyr Real Estate

I have been buying and selling real estate properties with Brenda Tam for over 15 years. She has always been able to get me the best deals on my purchases and sales. A couple of months ago she listed my income property, a 2 unit with section 8 tenants in the Bayview neighborhood, she got me an offer with $ 200,000 over the list price, it was sold at $ 1.1m. She then got me a bargain on my1031 exchange. The exchange property was a luxury remodeled building with views; it was originally listed at $ 1,650,000 and she negotiated it down and we closed in Dec 2015 at $ 1,325,000! The best part about Brenda is not just her real estate knowledge and negotiation skills but her attitude towards me, her client. She sincerely cares about me, and she goes above and beyond her duty to protect my interests! I am very grateful and happy with her service and professionalism. I highly recommend Brenda Tam for all your real estate needs!

I recently represented a buyer on the sale of Brenda’s listing at 1745 Panda Way in Hayward. Brenda is a fabulous listing agent! Her industry knowledge and professional manner made the transaction smooth for all involved. I hope to work with Brenda again. I’ve worked with hundreds of real estate agents and she is second to none.

Brenda is as good as it gets. For one thing, she is a fighter and is extremely knowledgable which is exactly what you want in the competitive and stressful market that is SF housing.
Brenda is also a great communicator and keeps everyone well informed. I would get emails and texts from her in the wee hours of the night telling me to take a look at new listings that we could get ahead of the curve on. I cannot count how many times throughout the process we said, «Wow Brenda is on it».
From the day we started working together, she walked us through the different areas in SF, their strengths and weaknesses, etc. just to get a sense of what our priorities were. When we started looking at houses, Brenda’s vast knowledge of the market was apparent and a huge asset. She knows what houses and condos would work well as rental properties, what areas have the best resell value, and basically anything and everything else. But that’s just Brenda, she’s on it!
Even after the purchase was made, she remained a huge asset. We needed paperwork to rent out a room in the flat so Brenda sent over a rental application, lease agreement, and even contacts for small handywork we wanted done.
Brenda is a fighter, has a vast knowledge of the SF housing marketing, and most importantly got us our dream house. Highly recommended!

Brenda was the best real estate agent I’ve ever worked with. She’s very experienced agent, knowledgeable, professional and dedicated to her job. From the day we met until the day we closed on my house she had always looked out for my best interest. At first, We worked out an affordable budget for me, from there she narrowed down to the houses that’s around my budget. It only took Brenda about a week to find my dream home. The price was affordable and the house had everything I wanted and more. She negotiated a 80÷10÷10 loan on a Ellis act TIC. She also, negotiated the seller to remodel the closet (rebuilt a new one) in my bedroom, added a French door in the living room and bunch of other little side jobs I wanted to change. She kept me informed throughout the whole process. Overall, I’m very pleased and grateful that I found Brenda. Now, I’m living in a house of my dream in SF!!! I have recommended her to all my friends and will continue to do so.
