Trent is my realtor. He did a masterful job selling our house (the same home he helped us purchase many years ago!). From managing the improvements and repairs to staging and listing and escrow, he oversaw the entire process while I was out of town and did a TREMENDOUS job. Trent has such sharp, astute business sense and was able to strategically position our home to get the maximum number of offers. In total, we received over 19 offers and we sold our house for well over the asking price. Every step of the way, Trent was there to guide us and his insights proved to be right every time. He made the process easy and seamless for me, which I really appreciated since I was not there. I would recommend Trent 1000% and wholeheartedly look forward to working with him again!
Trent was pleasant and very confidence inspiring to work with. He showed both patience and resourcefulness when problems arose, as they always do in real estate transactions. He found contractors, helped greatly with forms, and knew when to just wait for a little while. His knowledge of the market was detailed and accurate. He counseled against making certain repairs and upgrades; he was right because it turned out they were not necessary. His advice to make a few changes was also accurate and, I think, helped to sell the house. He kept all the right people in our communications loop, which consisted mainly of emails, text messages, and pictures with a few necessary phone calls. No details were overlooked, and no confidences were breached. He was entirely professional and a delight to work with.
I would highly recommend Trent Zhu. He was patient, helpful, always available to answer questions and find solutions to issues. He was a hands-on realtor who got involved and helped with problems. This was a problematic deal because the owner was deceased. He was always able to find a way to negotiate with the relatives, the executor and all the others involved. He managed the offers efficiently and brokered a successful sale.
Trent, thanks so much for your help throughout the short sale process. I am very pleased with the way everything turned out. I especially appreciated the excellent communication from you and your team—I always knew exactly where we stood throughout the entire process. I have already recommended your office to several others, and I'll be handing out your business cards as soon as I receive them.
Trent, we want to thank you for your tremendous help in closing our home on time. You were absolutely great to work with, and we truly believe it was your efficiency and proactiveness that made our home purchase happen. As first-time homebuyers, we were really apprehensive about the entire process. You and your office certainly made what seemed like a daunting task an easy, smooth experience. Thanks again!
Once again, we became happy clients of Trent. With his help, the whole buying process went extremely smoothly starting from property information, price negotiation, appraisal arrangement, HOA document retrieval for loan application, all the way to the final closing. He even figured out a minor mistake in the final closing statement which could be ignored otherwise. Highly recommend him to be the "Go To Agent" in your next real estate investment activity.
My husband and I purchased two investment properties with Trent's help in the last 5 years. Trent is very knowledgeable of the market. A master with the contract negotiations, Trent came up with a deal that was good for us and made the seller happy as well. He was attentive to our needs and really listened to what we wanted. I will definitely use Trent again.
It was unbelievable - we have made a purchase during Covid-19 time when the market was very uncertain. HUGE thanks to Mr. Trent Zhu, who has provided us with tremendous support and very honest opinions all the way. His professional real estate knowledge has guided us through this transaction with ease and understanding. We were nervous and had a lot of questions. Trent was very calm and had never pressured us into purchasing the home, rather he provided us with all the right information for us to make a decision that was suitable for our family. He has become an old friend who knows our needs and gives us great advice. We would ABSOLUTELY recommend TRENT ZHU to anyone who is looking for an honest, skillful expert in real estate!
Trent Zhu is very professional and very experienced in RE. He is the most knowledgeable RE professional I have seen. This year the RE market is going crazy, 10%-20% increase compared to last year. He helped me to buy a house at the same price as last year, and the seller rejected/cancelled it to accept and complete the transaction. After closing the transaction, a RE professional called him asking how he could buy this house at such a low price. same price as last year? I highly recommend Trent Zhu for his professional, knowledge and honey.
We had a great experience working with Trent, he was very responsive to our requests and showed us the house that we ended up purchasing over the Christmas holidays. He also knew the selling agent and could give us a clear picture of how much to offer to get the house. Overall the purchasing experience took 2 months, from seeing the place for the first time to signing the closing papers. Given the extremely competitive market of SF, we're impressed at Trent's network and sharp instinct to get us our home.
Not only was Trent responsive and resourceful with preparing our property for listing, Trent's pulse on the market was truly impressive. He provided me with invaluable, seasoned guidance every step of the way as the real estate market was just beginning to soften. Consequently, we were able to achieve an excellent result. I have the highest regard for Trent's professionalism and dedication to his clients.
