Going Above and Beyond!
It is not easy in this day and age to find service that is completely dependable and trustworthy. April Yin has been a realtor and friend to our family over the years. She has helped us when it came to the process of buying and selling a home, being a resource for homeowner related questions, and providing services as a realtor for our friends.
Years ago, April was the one who facilitated, for my parents, the sale of the home that I grew up in. She helped my aging parents desire to downsize and simplify their responsibility as homeowners. They are now very content to be living in a home that is easier to manage and to take care of.
This last summer, my parents had plans to re-model both of the bathrooms. But due to my father's health, we could not have him in the home during the re-model. The plan was to stay with other family members out of state for a period of 2.5 weeks with the offering that April would be physically present to oversee and supervise the project and the contractor that she had referred to us. The fact that April would be there to handle the day-to-day operations gave my parents and myself peace of mind that all would go smoothly.
As a result of this arrangement, April went above and beyond our expectations. For 2.5 weeks, she gave us every assurance that the project was on track. She would regularly call us with any immediate questions that would arise, send us email pictures of ongoing progress, and other messages as needed.
April was not shy to offer any advice that she felt would help boost the value of my parent's home. But, she was also sensitive to our likes and dislikes when it came to what materials and products to use (e.g. tile cabinets, sink fixtures and lighting, etc.). Moreover, she would drive between stores to obtain the needed number of fixtures to make certain that the changes we had decided upon were met.
Although it was important to keep within budget, which we were able to do, April did not settle on materials that were not of acceptable quality. Her attention and drive for detail did not go unnoticed especially when her question to us regarding which energy-saving light bulb to purchase came up!
When we finally returned to my parent's home we were elated with the result. We could immediately feel the appreciated value of the home, and its weight in gold. My parents are now able to enjoy their home even more. We could not have done it if it had not been for April's immense level of experience and knowledge, and her generous offer to oversee the project.

April was referred to us by a friend when we relocated here 8 years ago from Florida. She bought houses for 2 friends of mine and they both highly recommended her. Based on their recommendations, I asked April to help me purchase my first house. Because I was extremely happy with her service back then, I went directly with April when I wanted to sell my house earlier this year. She spent TONS of efforts during that process. I have two 2.5 years old kids so April did almost all the work during the house renovation. I know I am a very demanding person but I have to say I am really impressed how hard April worked to make the house look at its best. And all of her hard work paid off. I was quite happy about the sale price.
After we sold our house, buying a house didn't become any easier. The housing market has become super hot this year. All the houses we wanted to bid had 10+ offers. April was very patient and never pushy. She always pointed out to me areas that I might not like or I needed to pay attention. And even though we all wanted to win the bid, she kept me staying cool. With every bid, she would do a lot of research and presented me with different strategies. Her offer was professionally prepared and detail oriented. And with her help, we finally got a dream house which had more than a dozen offers!
I have been recommending April to all of my friends who wanted to buy or sell their homes. And I will continue to recommend her to my friends in the future.
I have been referring my customers to April for their real estate needs. They have always been presented with a courteous and respectful sytle along with great professionalism. My customers also have given me nothing but positive feedback regarding April. I will continue to work with her on a regular basis.
I know it may be corny but it has been almost 1 year and I really owe you a BIG thank you. For all this time not only you have helped me to get my dream house but more importantly a happy experience that is priceless!! I think I am really fortunately to have you as my agent. This is probably one of the luckiest things in my life!!
I know my house shopping started almost a year ago. At times I would always call you for opinions. You are always friendly and helpful throughout the process. You would point out important things that buyers should focus and be aware. It's very heart warming knowing that you care about yours buyers rather then pushing us to make offer. You treat us with honesty and act in our best interested; never had once I felt pressure from you about making offer. I recall there are times when you helped me write offers that I myself was even unsure at last minute!
I recall the negotiation of my house lasted 3 month. It was a tough seller. You have helped me to draft countless offers and negations to make sure my interest are well protected. I recall at one point after I have entered contract. It happens one house came on market that I have strong interest in. The house is the same price but offers much more compensation towards buyer agent. I almost decided to buy that house instead. I seek your help and advice – you explained all the pros and cons and did not give me pressure or express favor in the house that would offer more commission. You let me make the own decision. I recall during that couple days I felt I owe you an apology because those days you would be working on my case late at nights because my second thought about the house.
In the end, I know I am very lucky; I remained with my original purchase and PLUS the hard negotiated favorable terms from the seller. All compliments because of your great work in negotiation with the seller. You could've made more commission easily with other purchase but you did not. You cared about my well beings and helped me to realize that I made the right choice by staying! Big Thank You! = )
In closing, I would like to express my greatest gratitude to you. You have earned my great respect. I know I am lucky that I have met you. You have helped me bought my dream house and most importantly a wonderful experience that money can not buy! I really appreciated what you have done for me. Thank you April. You are the BEST !!! = )
