“Cinny is a friend from college, and we reached out to her when we started looking for a house. Cinny jumped into the process immediately; asking what we were looking for, setting up house showings, and even finding extra houses that matched our criteria. Her ability to schedule the showings that would have the shortest route but still sufficient time to view the house is just incredible! She was always there for questions and had great connections (inspectors, lenders, contractors—you name it!). We toured a lot of houses and even lost a few bids, but Cinny always kept a positive attitude and kept us moving forward. We eventually found our perfect starter home, and we truly couldn’t have done it without her friendly attitude, professionalism, and knowledge. We’re also really grateful that the whole experience brought us even closer. We would 100% recommend Cinny, who is fluent in Cantonese, English and Mandarin, to anyone looking to buy or sell. She would be amazing on either side!”

“Laura Topp was recommended by a trusted friend, a friend whom I will trust even more after this experience. Laura is extremely knowledgeable, personable and very well connected in the real estate market. Laura and her team (including Becki, also very involved in my sale and purchase) went over and above to insure my then-current home was sold in a timely manner (it was a matter of days, in fact) and for the best possible price! As for my purchase, Laura connected me with not only public but also private listings, and I also found/ contracted for my new dream home within days. In addition to her knowledge, expertise and connections, Laura is also one of the kindest people have ever met; she made me feel valued and supported throughout this entire process. I would recommend Laura and her team in a heartbeat (I already have) and although I was not previously aware of BHHS, this company also has high ratings in my book because of Laura and Becki.”

“Larry is by far the most AMAZING Realtor. He was always very responsive to my calls, texts, request, etc. We built up such a great relationship through this crazy process, that even after we closed on our new home, he reached out to check on us. He is always looking to get the best deal for his clients. He is like family now to us and will always have his own seat next to the firepit in our backyard. I would DEFINETLY recommend Larry to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell. AMAZING.. Can't say enough Great things about Larry.”
