Testimonials
"Dear Jae: You sold my house in about 45 days and I still can't believe it. I have been through hell trying to sell my house for close to two years. The prior agent just kept telling me it was the "economy", so I gave up. I accepted the house would have to go to foreclosure because I was tired of fighting it. My daughter suggested I try one more time and she contacted you. If only she had suggested that two years ago - I could have avoided all that grief and not depleted my savings. I am a Jae Kim fan. THANK YOU SIR."
Faith J.
"Cool, thanks again for your help through the process. I will definitely recommend you to any friends looking to buy or sell real estate."
Parker S.
"Jae, Thank you for everything. We enjoyed working with you and are thankful for the quick sale. Our only issue was with this being our first time selling, we didn't always know what to expect in the process after the accepted offer and only at the completion of the sale did we realize that no news is good news. It all went very smoothly, and aside from the emotions involved, it was easier than we anticipated. Thank you again,"
Chad and Lisa
"Thanks for all you did for us, we love our house!"
John and Danette
"Jae, Thanks a ton! As my 12 year old would say, “You ROCK!”"
Denise
"I found Jae Kim by accident when I called about a property he was listing. It was under contract already, but I liked his manner. He never once was pushy or reluctant to show me yet another property. As a contrast, I stopped by an open house one day and talked to an agent from another company. I immediately disliked her and her pushy ways. She reminded me of a used car salesman. Without Jae's professionalism and hard work, my home buying experience would have been very different. In fact, the seller said Jae did more for the sale than his own agent. One thing I appreciated most is how Jae handled so many things in the background which allowed me to focus on my job (which was going through some stressful events at the time.) I will definately contact Jae Kim for any future real estate needs. Outstanding job on his part that reflects well on himself and his company."
James
"Jae was GREAT when we listed our first home and in helping us find a new home. He was full of helpful tips and advice which helped sell our house quickly in a tough market. His knowledge of the local market can't be beaten, along with his superb negotiating skills, friendly manner, and expertise. Jae is also great after the sale; he believes in client relationships and not just making the sale. We were very pleased with our experience and would wholeheartedly recommend the Jae Kim Team to anyone needing real estate services".
Cory
"The Jae Kim Team is an aggressive negotiation group that seeks a win-win situation for all parties involved. They sold my home within 2 weeks of listing after other companies failed to deliver. Without reservation I highly recommend working with Jae Kim when buying or selling your home."
Jason
"After working with another realtor for a few months, we were getting very discouraged with our house hunt. Nothing seemed to be what we wanted and everything seemed to be well beyond our budget. We were very new to the area and had no idea what locations we preferred and our former realtor had stopped working on finding us stuff, relying on us to do all of the finding. We decided to find a new realtor using a realtor locator website. Jae made contact with us and we were immediately impressed by his accomplishments and his ability to understand what we wanted and needed in a house. The very first house he showed us had everything we were looking for and we immediately made an offer. He put us in contact with several trusted and well-priced contractors to do some work around our house and has continued to follow up even after we moved in. Jae really understood what we needed and I highly recommend him!"
Ivey J.
"Reshmi and I just wanted to thank you again for all of your help selling our house more quickly than any one could imagine. I've never dealt with a real estate agent that worked harder and was more knowledgeable about market conditions and real estate practices than you and your team. We believe that you were the reason our house sold in such a short time frame (less than one month) and at a very fair price. I would also like to thank you for being so helpful and supportive in a really difficult time. I will definitely recommend you to any friends looking to buy or sell real estate. Thanks again.”
Reshmi and Joshy
