Client Testimonials

Hi Julia, my wife and I wanted to thank you again for all your support in helping us purchase our new home. Simply put, we could not have done this without you. From helping us sell our existing home, purchasing our new home, and introducing us to the best lender we’ve ever worked with, we are lucky to have worked with you.

The results speak for themselves: we were able to sell our existing home quickly at a price higher than other comparables in our market, we were able to fund our loan earlier than expected, and we purchased our desired home at a cost lower than we were anticipating.

Even with that said, I don’t think this accurately captures how complicated and delicate this entire process was. We were selling and buying a home concurrently, with 3 days separating the close of each escrow, and we were still able to close several days early on our new home! I didn’t truly understand what role agents play in real-estate deals, until now. Your experience, relationships in the industry, and knowledge of the Irvine/Newport Beach area were the difference in making these transactions successful.

Finally, your steady and calming presence helped us navigate through what can be a stressful and emotional process. I know how high-maintenance we were as a client, with all of our late-night panicked phone calls and constant barrage of questions (-: But you always reassured us regardless of day, time or situation. This helped us immeasurably. You have made a client for life. My wife and I look forward to working with you on future deals, and will continue to refer you to everyone we know that is interested in buying/selling property.

I just wanted to thank you for the excellent services and guidance you have provided me in the last few months, culminating in the successful purchase of my dream home! Throughout the entire home-buying process, which was a first time for me, you were patient, professional, proactive, and personable. Moreover, your dedication to your client’s best interests showed through your willingness to answer all my nitty-gritty questions late into the evening hours.

I was particularly grateful for your ability to help me close escrow in a very short 30 days, which turned out to be the most important aspect of my offer, according to the seller. The entire process was incredibly smooth because of your many years of experience in real estate, coupled with the excellent relationship you have with a trusted lender.

Because you walked me through the many steps of the home purchase in bite-sized chunks, it never felt overwhelming, even though I was anticipating it to be. I had complete faith in your advice and recommendations. Also, when we did the final walk-through with the seller, you made sure to ask detailed questions to guarantee that everything requiring repairs had been adequately fixed.

I would highly recommend your services to any of my family members or friends. Your knowledge and expertise in the real estate industry and the thoroughness of your guidance was extremely valuable to me. Thanks again!

Irene

It was pouring for weeks and the moving was really weighing on us. Her presence brought us so much calmness and warmth that we looked forward to seeing her. She is so petite but under all the tender appearance, she is a tiger. She is like the first ray of sunlight! Julia is our friend and our realtor for life!

David C.

If it was not for Julia, we would have most likely backed out from the purchase with all the complexity of the decision making, negotiation and wading through the escrow process. Julia provided us with all the information and guidance that we needed at the most critical moments. We are happy with our home and would refer her to all my friends of her superior service!

Sandy Y.

Julia was with us every step of the way from the very beginning of our search for our dream home to the moving in after guided us through the entire process with professionalism and friendship that we would not have expected. Julia is a professional and a friend!

Ralph W.

She was so detail oriented and she always had all the bases covered for us before we could even think of. It was a great experience having her assist us in relocating to Newport Beach. We would definitely refer her to our relatives who are thinking of joining us soon.

Leslie V.

Do not let her appearance fool you. She stood firm on our terms for us while helping us sold our home when we were abruptly transferred so that we were able to move according to our schedule. At times she could be really tough. She is all professional and friendly through and through to us.

Tom G.

Julia helped guided us through the toughest time when we tried to close the sale of our investment property and the purchase of our new home at the same time. The smoothness of the entire process really exceeded our expectation by far. Her super high level of professionalism and genuine concern and understanding for us truly impressed my wife and I. We will have Julia help us again for the next move for sure.

We were still expatriated in Shanghai when we thought of buying a property in California. Julia was highly recommended to us by a friend who has properties in Newport Coast. Our concern on whether it was a smart decision to buy a property when we were not able to be physically there was eased significantly as we started to work with Julia over the phone. By the time the transaction was closed, we regretted that we hadn’t known Julia earlier. Julia was profoundly knowledgeable about the Newport Coast and its vicinity and appeared to know each neighborhood like the back of her hand. She was extremely professional and never rushed us in making decisions. As a matter of fact, there were times when we saw properties that appeared to be good buys but ultimately decided not to make offers as Julia advised of the downsides that we failed to see. Julia was also very detail oriented and warm-hearted. She has gone out of her way and tended every minute detail on behalf of us throughout the transaction when we were still out of the country. With Julia’s help, we were able to close the transaction right on time and we liked the property that we purchased. Whether you're selling your home or buying a new one we would highly recommend working with Julia.

Julia Liao was very professional and highly proficient in selling our house. She had put forth great effort in bring together the necessary people to do the staging and marketing which were instrumental in selling the house as quickly as it did. We highly recommend her as an agent…...

M. Leang

We tried selling our home first with another agent who locked me into a contract but didn’t get any results for five months. Then I wanted to sell it myself but wasn’t able to get my price. Then I met Julia and she found a qualified buyer for us within a short time after she marketed it. We got our price and the entire selling process was smooth, hassle free and the escrow closed on time. She kept us informed throughout the process and got us the result we needed. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received.

Julia Liao was the buyer's agent when my wife and I recently sold our home For Sale By Owner. We had multiple offers and it was Julia's rock-solid presentation of the offer and the way she represented the strength of her clients as buyers that encouraged us to choose the offer she submitted. Julia was extremely professional, detail oriented, and helpful in keeping the transaction moving smoothly while her clients were out of the country. She followed through on everything she promised and we closed escrow right on schedule in 30 days. From an FSBO perspective she was reasonable, easy to work with, and fair. From a buyer's perspective she did everything that we would want her to do if she were representing us as buyers. Whether you're selling your home or buying a new one we would highly recommend working with Julia.
