Chiu-ho gave me a professional estimation of fair price when we were drafting my purchase offer. Chiu-ho also effectively utilized expiration terms, which helped me strike a great deal. The sold price was lower than the estimated prices from both well-known websites at the time.
I learned Chiu-ho from his Facebook page and website. There was a lot of information that was important to first-time home buyers: (1) the process of home purchase, (2) the title report, (3) properties or conditions to avoid, (4) the trend of the price, etc. After reading all of the contents on Chiu-ho's website and comparing other information on the Internet, I believed Chiu-ho was trustworthy. I decided to choose Chiu-ho as my buyer's agent.
When we were searching for properties, in addition to my filters (e.g. avoid rail roads or cemeteries), Chiu-ho suggested avoiding properties on a T-intersection, properties on a multi-lane street/avenue/road, properties under aircraft airway, or properties with suboptimal architecture. Chiu-ho told me that even though those properties were less expensive, they will be less comfortable to live in and it will be more difficult to sell them in the future. His suggestion helped us focus on a few properties with potential.
After we picked a property that fit my needs, Chiu-ho sent me the title report immediately. We discussed several items in detail. After I decided to make an offer, Chiu-ho gave me a fair price estimation and told me that the price estimations on the well-known websites were higher than the fair price in his opinion. After knowing the seller was going to review offers in first-come-first-reviewed order, Chiu-ho suggested I set an expiration time in my offer. After the seller returned a counter offer, Chiu-ho suggested I take some risk and counter the counter offer. These two suggestions helped me strike a great deal. Without Chiu-ho's advice, I think I would have paid much more.
I enjoyed my home buying journey with Chiu-ho. If you want to buy real estate in the bay area, I strongly recommend Chiu-ho.
