Please take a moment to see what my clients have to say about me!
I'm very glad to find Betty as my agent for buying a house for my parents. She is very personable and responsive. She was able to help us successfully bid for the first house that we made the offer. She was very good at talking to the seller agent and established a good relationship with him, so it was easy for us to get the offer accepted. She's also very friendly and pleasure to work with. She also has good knowledge about the bay area real estate market. |

Betty did an amazing job throughout the whole process of purchasing my new home. From the very start, she showed professionalism, integrity and was very knowledgeable of the current competitive market.
No matter how many questions or concerns that I had, Betty was always super responsive, patient, and extremely detailed in explaining the answers to me. I felt that she gives her honest opinion and also provided me with great resources about the community that would become my new home. If you’re looking for an agent that’s meticulous in handling your home buying experience then I highly recommend Betty Leung. She will make you feel that you are not just her client but a friend. It’s hard for me to imagine how it could’ve been any better! |

She is very knowledge and professional to the market. She is also very nice and kind. Whenever we call or email, she respond in time. For any question we asked, she is very patient to explain. Her profession in the field obtained the trust from seller agent, too. We are very happy to have her as our agent for buying the house. |

Right from our first meeting to our settling down in our new house, Betty has always impressed me not only with her knowledge as a realtor but also with her friendly personality. Being a customer relationship manager myself, when I first talked to Betty, I could clearly see that she cares about her customers and their satisfaction. My instincts told me that I would be dealing with a caring personand not just a real estate agent, if I went with Betty. She listened to our concerns, needs and pulled in all necessary resources once we settled on the house. She even found past documents on the house that we never knew existed! Betty is a true professional -- very hard working, responsive and above all accountable. She helped out on a number of things even after we closed the deal and continued providing her support whenever needed. We feel very lucky to have found her as our realtor and now our friend. I will be more than willing to recommend her to a friend or family. |

We bought our first house five months ago with Betty as our sole agency. We have a very good experience with her helps. Betty is not only professional and ethical in doing business; she is very knowledgeable, smart and diligent in handling her clients. She is very responsible and detail throughout the whole process. We have no experience in buying house in US. And it’s a stressful matter in buying a house because there are a lot of document and report to review and sign. A trustful and professional agent is very important. Betty guided us through very well and with a lot of patience and explained all the details and educated us the knowledge. Her education background and experience is very helpful. She has given us a lot of valuable advice and made our research more efficient. She is the kind of person that will put her clients before everything. After she followed up my case, I found my dream house at a reasonable price within a month. We did not need to over pay to get our house. She is very follow-through and work very hard to help each of her clients. She has a very good network of people. She helped us not only in buying the house, but also follow-up with our home inspections and house remodel. She is very diligent and is ready to help at any time you need. She has the expertise to help you in a lot of areas when you own the house. You will find that she is a faithful friend too. |

My husband and I had been searching for our first home together on and off for the past couple years. Betty was a great help throughout the process. She is extremely patient, flexible, and accommodating. Anytime we want to see a house, she will make herself available and work around our busy schedule despite the distance she has to travel. She gives us really good advice on the houses we've seen and the neighborhood. During the process we encountered some difficult listing agent and sellers. We had to do many negotiations back and forth and Betty was extremely professional. She helped us bargain extra time so we can do all the inspections we need. She would even go to the Planning and Building department and help us get answers regarding the zoning of the property, and help us procure the necessary documents. She would give us her honest opinions, and thanks to her, we were able to walk away from a problematic house just in time! She is very responsive to our requests, and she also has great strategies in making/presenting offers. We finally got our house below the asking price! Thanks Betty! I highly recommend her as your agent! |

Betty was very helpful in helping us find our first home. She was very knowledgeable about the various areas, especially with respect to school districts. Once we picked a home to make an offer on, she was active in checking the status with the seller's agent, and helping us select a good offer price. After the offer was accepted, she was very helpful in making sure the loan (Western Bancorp associated with Intero) and other paperwork went smoothly.
Betty is very responsive, and as first-time home buyers, we appreciated her expertise and explanations for the various steps in the process.
Thanks to Betty, we had a very smooth escrow process, and moved in with no problems
We strongly recommend her Real Estate agent. |

Betty is very professional, dedicated and committed RE professional. She represented our interest very well. She never pushed us to buy the house, counseled us very well and connected us with right contacts we required before and after buying the property.
She is the best! And we would HIGHLY recommend her… if you are serious about getting right representation for your RE transaction… Betty is THE go-to person. |

I was a first-time home buyer and it is my fortunate to have Betty as my first agent. She walked me through the entire process in every detail with great patience. She is busy but well organized, so she is willing to go out with me anytime whenever I want to see a house. Each time we go, she is very sharp to find out a property's positives and negatives.
Betty also did an excellent job in going over the disclosures, preparing the offer, and presenting it. She made everything simple for me and eventually we win in a crazy market.
She also recommended a good loan agent to me, who is very responsive and moves really fast. Without their help, I would not have such a smooth and pleasant house purchase. |

I've worked with Betty in March 2012 in the south bay area. What I liked most about her is that she is very frank and won't sugar coat the pros and cons of a house. She will tell you straight up the good, the bad and the ugly about each property you visit with her. So there is no surprise and you can make decisions well informed. Similarly she will explain all clauses of the contracts and the risks and advantages of each one of them. I think there are very few agents who give you all the data you need to understand the impact of choices made.
Betty is very active, she visits most listings beforehands, so she can give great feedback without having her client go onsite to visit. This is great for eliminating houses that won't fit beforehand, and saves a lot of time.
She has outstanding negotiation skills. In fact she got to get us the house we wanted below the listing price in a hot area when the market was a seller's market, by using really smart strategies. She has a iron hand in a velvet glove:), she's very sharp and thinks on her feet and she adapts to any situation. Also she can read through people's act really well!
She is very professional; she went through all the paperwork without a single glitch. And she is very responsive. The team she works with is very good as well, her inspectors and contractors are efficient and did a very good job.
On top of that Betty is very friendly and really sweet, she understands her clients needs and works with the given constraints (budgets/tastes etc). She is very patient and thorough.
Overall I would strongly recommend working with her, she is a real gem!! |

If you want to be in the best hands when searching for property in the San Francisco Bay Area than look no further. Betty is the best real estate agent I have ever met. We were in the most difficult situation imaginable and Betty stood by our side with her support, day and night, always ready to listen to our concerns until we finally were given our keys to our dream home. We were under enormous time pressure, had a difficult seller and on top a very strenuous mortgage process. Betty kept us sane going through this difficult time. She was always professional, well prepared and protected us from a rogue seller giving us the best possible outcome. I am lucky to not only have had the pleasure working with Betty but to count her as one of my friends. I highly recommend Betty! |

Betty is extremely professional, courteous and responsive realtor with great insight about the houses because of her architecture background. She made the entire house buying process extremely easy for us by reviewing all the paper work, and educating us throughout the process. We would strongly recommend her as a realtor. |

Betty was my realtor when I purchased a residential property recently. I highly recommend her. Betty is a hardworking and very knowledgeable real-estate professional. What makes her standout from other realtor is that her deep understanding in architecture design, detail-oriented working style, and willing to work with me to find-out smart solutions in the process ofnegotiation. My buying experience was smooth and pleasant. |

It is not easy to find a buyer's agent who is truly on the buyer's side, because all the fees and commissions to agents are paid by a seller rather than a buyer. Indeed in my journey to finding a house I have encountered some agents who I considered not very trustworthy. On the other hand, Betty is extremely honest and trustworthy to her clients (in my case, buyer) so that I was able to get her service without any concern. Moreover, when we finally entered our contract, Betty is also very knowledgeable and thus helpful in the process so that she touched every aspect of potential pitfalls hidden in the process to prevent any undesirable situation. As a result, we closed our contract very smoothly without any single bump. I am happy to work with Betty and recommend her to people who are looking for an agent who can truly be on their side. |

Betty Leung, a wonderful agent who guided us throughout the whole home buying process. We are a young 1st home buyer family who wanted the best of everything. Great school district, close to work, big affordable house with land and friendly neighbourhood.
Betty spent 4 months with us last summer. We built a great relationship which we have continued after the sale, because she is friendly, easy to work with and honest.
What we appreciated in Betty as an agent.
1. Spent a lot of time with us to narrow down exactly what we were after. Never pushed us to make a sale or offer unless we were 100% excited. 2. Lined up several home tours after hours (5:30 onwards) 3. Spoke about each property and pointed out the positiveand negative. Drew our attention to specific details on the contract. 4. Negotiations/ Bids went relatively smooth. 5. Got us out of a sticky situation - supported us throughout the entire process.
5 stars for Betty! |

Betty was tremendously helpful in helping us find a house in the Bay Area after we relocated from Upstate New York. She was extremely patient as we worked through the process, looking at condos, Eichlers, and relatively new homes throughout the South Bay Area. She provided great advice but was never pushy.
When we finally found the house we liked, Betty was exceptionally diligent on following up with the seller's real estate agent (seller was a rather uncooperative SF 49er who expected to be treated like a star!). Through her efforts we were able to close on time and get various minor issues taken care of by the seller. After closing, Betty has remained in touch and been helpful in recommending various service providers.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Betty. She represents the highest standards in terms of integrity, customer focus and follow up.
Thanks for your help Betty! |

Betty was referred to me by my previous realtor who relocated to Washington D.C. When I met Betty I immediately liked her. She is professional, has high ethics, detailed oriented and stayed on top of everything. Her interest was taking care of me as her client. Betty was just a phone call away and always there to listen. I look forward to working with her again. |

Betty was a pleasure to work with. As a property manager for homeowners associations you deal with a lot of Real Estate Agents. Betty was enthusiastic and did her due diligence as an agent. By the time she put the unit on the market she knew the property extremely well from the owner’s to the HOA’s responsibilities. If only all agents did their due diligence, my job would be made a lot easier. |

I have lots to say about Betty - She was sincere, professional, passionate, thorough and easy to work with. She helped us find our first home in Bay Area. We met her during one of the open house and that's how started communicating. She was very helpful, responsive and knows in and out about the housing from researching to closing process which gives a client like us (first time homebuyers) a lot of comfort. She was available not only during the weekends, but also weekdays as and when required. She has done a fantastic job for us and I am very sure she does an excel for all her clients. She also helped us find aloan agent who can process and execute the loan, find the best rates in the market and a contractor who could assist us with our home improvements. That was an add-on from her, so you can imagine with the number of connections she has in this business which is certainly appreciable. End of the process we felt like we are missing Betty now as we have been with her for several weekends. We would highly recommend Betty to anyone looking to buy a home.
Good Luck and Best Wishes Betty! |

Betty represented us in our recent purchase of our first single-family home in the Bay Area. After changing Agents thrice, we finally found someone who was very responsive, patient and very easy to work with. Once she helped us find the right house, she took care of the entire process end to end, from bidding to closing the transaction and made the entire process stress free. She even helped us shortlist the right contractors to upgrade our house before we moved in and followed up with them for work that was in progress. She is very personable and knows the market inside and out in the Bay Area. We never could have gotten our dream home without her. |

Dear Betty, Today is Christmas. It is a day to be thankful for our blessings. I have to say, you were a blessing to me during the sale of my property at 1384 Meadow Ridge Cir. San Jose. As you were aware, I was interviewing two other real estate agents to find the right fit. One agent was closer to my home and the other was a senior agent who had sold many units in Shadow Wood complex over the years. I knew you did not have experience in this complex, but I wanted to give you a chance. Based on your honesty and desire to perform described in your e-mails, I chose you. I made the right choice! Your attention to detail is unbeatable. You were always available to me whether by e-mail or cell-phone. Many times you said you would work around my schedule because you understood that I was an hour away from the property. You were an excellent resource, providing me with house cleaners, painters, and licensed contractors who could get the job done without causing me any additional stress. You represented me doing the inspections. Your e-mails were very skillfully written to provide me with every detail of the inspection, your dealings with the HOA management company, with the buyer's agent or with the title company. You gave me great ideas to stage the unit and what needed to be addressed to make the place even more desirable. I'm sure this all contributed to the quick sale. With only one open house, on the market for 11 days and getting an offer for $25,000 over the asking price, I could not have imagined the unit would have sold as quickly and for as much. Thanks to your professionalism and follow-up, we were an unbeatable team and got the job done! I would recommend you to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent with your integrity and performance level. You should be considered a very valuable agent for your broker at Intero. Please feel free to use this letter of recommendation at any time; or, feel free to give your prospective client my phone number. I would be honored to give my testimony of our experience. Happy New Year, Betty. I wish you much deserved success in 2010! |

Betty made the purchase of our first home an incredibly smooth and pain free experience. She was quick and responsive in answering our questions no matter what time of the day we sent her an email or called her. She arranged for us to see the house we liked (and eventually bought!) on short notice and before it even had its open house. She worked late into the night helping us put together an offer. Once our offer was accepted, she was prompt in helping us line up the necessary inspections we needed to close on our contingencies and move forward with our purchase. But beyond being prompt and on top of things, Betty was just easy and pleasurable to work with for not just for us as the buyers, but for all the parties involved in the transaction: our loan agent, the selling agent, the sellers, the escrow agent, inspectors, etc. Betty was simply easy for everyone to work with and really helped make the entire process much easier than we had anticipated.
As first time home buyers and a then engaged/now newlywed couple, we had a lot of stressful things to worry about during the time when we were buying our home. Fortunately with Betty being not just our agent, but also our friend, making sure that we got our lovely first home was the least of our worries. |

Betty was great! I was looking for an investment property over the six months and when I was working with her, she listened to my requirements and made suggestions that help me expand my search for a property and ultimately finding the right property. And when I was finally in escrow, she worked closely with me, explaining the contract and addressing all my concerns. And she also worked tirelessly with the seller's agent and escrow officer to ensure the entire process goes smoothly. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the South Bay. |

It's truth to have our dream home now!! Thanks Betty to find us the chance to get the home. We knew it's our chance now in current market. She immediately went down to the nitty gritty and cleared up lot of unknowns for us as the first-time home buyer. Betty continues to impress us with her patience, reliability and up-to-date knowledge on developments on property search, offer suggestion, property inspection, and even loan service help recommended. Betty was always accessible by phone or e-mail, promptly responding to all messages by earliest time frame. As a client and friend with Betty Leung, we can honestly saying that we have received the best possible service anyone could expect. Betty has shown us a commitment to quality and a dedication to client satisfaction.The dream home is what we are exactly looking for. She is a"go-getter" with real estate savvy. Without a doubt, we would highly recommend Betty to anyone looking to buy a home. The only challenge left for us is how to decorate our dream home. |

We had just moved from the Central Valley and really had no idea where to purchase a home. Our jobs required us to move to San Jose and start within a few weeks. We initially hired a realtor who lived in the bay area, but soon became discouraged with the lack of knowledge regarding the South Bay. We decided to check the local listings ourselves and came in contact with Betty. Right from the start, we knew we found that right realtor. She was professional, sincere, pleasant and empathetic to our needs. More importantly, she knew the South Bay. She understood our situation, and quickly began working on a plan to show us around the area. To make matters worse, we had a vacation planned months back that we could not cancel. We were in a dilemma where we needed to find a home that fit our needs, make an offer on it and close escrow while we were out. We needed someone we could trust! Betty exceeded all our expectations! She was not only able to find us a wonderful home in a great location, but also worked closely with our escrow officer to ensure the paperwork would be complete when we returned to sign. Once escrow closed, Betty continued to help us with the relocation process by providing numbers for moving companies as well as contractors willing to help us with our remodeling ideas. She was there for us from start to finish! Today, we are extremely happy with our home. We love the South Bay, and enjoy taking strolls around the area. We know this was not possible without the help of Betty. She's a magnificent individual! Our home buying experience couldn't have been any better! Thank you, Betty! |
