Samantha Huang

"I worked with Samantha on my purchase of a condo in the city. It was simply an awesome experience, and it comes in comparison to my past experiences in working with agents. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to get honest and real support from an agent, and here are some of the main reasons: 1. Samantha is a very dependable finance advisor. She knows when to say an offer would be bad. In this market, you'd meet plenty of agents whose only strategy for you is to keep raising the bid price. Samantha isn't one of those agents, she provides reasonable offer boundaries and always presents the buyer's interest. This isn't an easy trait, and this is one of the top reasons to work with her. 2. Samantha is available to talk/text, and very responsive. For me, going to an open house by myself is fine, I don't necessarily need too much hand-holding to know how many bedrooms and bathrooms, etc, and can quickly note things on my own. What matters more is off-the-property conversation and strategies, and this is where working with Samantha was great. We had many conversations on 10-12 properties, sometimes late in the evening or on weekends, and she was always there and supportive. She also gets straight to the point and doesn't beat around the bush, working with her was straightforward. 3. Samantha delivers beyond expectations. Whenever there were a few things during contract negotiation or closing, I felt assured that my agent was on my side and she was able to negotiate complex terms with the buyer's agent. Now this is not always possible, but I can confirm that she puts out the best effort, and beyond what's just possible and that counts a lot for those who put in their whole life's savings into getting a home. In terms of knowledge, expertise, and skill set, no question Samantha is awesome, and maybe many agents would have those same qualities. But I want to emphasize attitude and trust, and that's what differentiates a few from many. In this seller's market, it is so hard to find a strong buyer's agent that I could trust, but I'm glad I was able to work with Samantha, and I fully recommend her if you have needs for home buying/selling, please do yourself a favor, and at least have a conversation with this agent."

"My wife and I were trying to decide if we should sell our condo unit given the condo market during the May timeframe and we reached out to a handful of realtors whom our family and friends referred us to. We picked their brains to see what they thought and ultimately we decided that it was more beneficial for us to place the condo on the market. Once we made that decision, the next step was to find a realtor who would be able to help us sell the condo. We chose Samantha for several reasons - 1) our friend who referred her to us had a great experience with Samantha when she sold her condo, 2) she provided a detailed follow-up response breaking down the scenarios we had, which we didn't ask her to do but it was a nice gesture, and 3) she has experience as both seller/buyer realtor in our condo complex. The next step in the process was for her to take a tour of our unit to see what needed to be repaired. It wasn't a long list but it was convenient that she had a contact for a handyman who was able to help us patch things up in a short period. She also did a video tour of the unit, which we thought was a nice touch. It took about 2-3 weeks from the day we met to list the unit on the market. Unfortunately, it was listed for 80 days before we received our first offer, but this was not due to Samantha doing her job because she did a great job for us trying to market our unit. It was probably just bad timing for a 1/1 unit with the Delta variant news. Samantha did everything she could to help sell our unit as she held private and public open houses, sent email blasts to agents, followed up with potential buyers and their agents, and sent postcards to residents in the community who are tenants and looking to own. Throughout the entire process, Samantha kept us updated on any news she had, which she took the initiative with instead of us having to reach out to her. She is very knowledgeable and we had an abundance of questions. We trusted her judgment and she was easy to work with. We recommend Samantha Huang if you are looking for a realtor to sell your place or buy a new place. Thanks again for all your help!"

"I had a very positive and pleasant experience working with Samantha to represent me as a seller’s agent. I have a rental property in the Bay Area that I am looking to sell. Due to my living 8 hours away, I am looking for a real estate agent who can manage all the details of the transaction. Before I determine who will be representing me, I have done my due diligence by reviewing the Yelp/Zillow feedback of the top 5 real estate agents. I then chose three of them to have a Zoom meeting to discuss what their marketing strategy and their commission structure will be. I then made the final decision on choosing Samantha. I am very lucky that I made the right decision. Here is what I can say about choosing her. She gives you the most competitive and competent proposal straight up. Another agent that I interviewed proposed a highball commission and then dropped down as I countered with what other offers I received. She was transparent and down to earth with her opinion but also respected your input and decision. She knows the local market very well and has the resources (construction/repairing/marketing) readily available to deploy to make the property appealing within a reasonable amount of time. I especially like her hands-on approach. She picked the light fixture/cabinet handles on her own and did the open house herself. I admired her treating the sale of property as a partnership not as a quick sale for profit. I think if you are to pick her as your real estate agent, you will not be disappointed."

"I am certain that all those reviews on Samantha prove how amazing a real estate agent she is but I figured I share my experiences with Samantha as we were extremely lucky to have found her who truly helped us to find our dream home in SF. Needlessly to say the SF housing market is beyond competitive. To select our potential house for the next 30 years in such a hot seller’s market, we wanted to make sure that we have a competent, experienced, and trusted buying agent. And she was the one. While we didn’t want to take our sweet time to find a house given the rate was just about to go up, we at the same time did not want to rush with looking at the houses and making offers. Samantha knew exactly what we wanted and was kindly patient throughout the process. When we made an offer on the house we fell in love, she was tactful in terms of bidding. We were able to get the house after less than two months of looking for a house at West Portal neighborhood and we could not be happier with our current house. Loving the location and the big backyard where! fell in love with gardening every day. The best part was that we were able to lock in the lower rate thanks to Samantha who has an extensive network of people. I highly recommend Samantha as a buying agent if you are looking in the Bay Area."

"We only have fantastic things to say about Samantha! She is experienced and knowledgeable about the Bay Area market, incredibly responsive, and made us feel comfortable/well taken care of throughout the whole house-buying process! We are first-time home buyers and had a tall order for her as we were looking for a single-family home, fully detached, IN the city, without a monster budget, move-in ready/great condition, and to top it all off: my fiancé and I have mismatched aesthetics. This was not an easy ask, even in a market that isn’t as crazy as the one we’re in! Samantha was so patient and diligent, always kept a positive outlook, never pressured us, and always made us feel comfortable with whatever decision we made, even if it meant back to the drawing board. She quickly earned our full trust and we knew we could rely on her wisdom and experience to guide us through this complex, stressful, and high-stakes process. We can happily say that we love our new home and would 100% recommend Samantha to anyone looking to buy in this market!"
