Jan was such a joy to work with! As first time homebuyers, Jan was patient with all of our questions, available to join us for any showing (and flexible with arranging showings on weeknights when needed), and thorough in her review of disclosures. She was willing to reach out to inspectors and agents to clarify any questions we had, and she has an excellent grasp on the market. She gave recommendations on offers, but was always willing to go with whatever we were comfortable with. It was so reassuring to have Jan by our side through the ups and downs, and I would 100% recommend her for anyone looking for a home in San Francisco!

I had the pleasure of working with Jan to buy my first home :), and I couldn’t be more impressed. She helped me secure a condo at 30% below the market per sqft price, negotiated an additional 4.4% reduction from the asking price, and help me find the ideal property just 3 weeks after we started shopping. Her dedication and professionalism are unmatched. With a background as an attorney, she meticulously reviewed disclosures, and guided me through the intricacies of the process. Her expertise in the SF Bay Area real estate market was evident—she quickly evaluated whether properties were overpriced and identified potential risks, paying close attention to every detail in listings and HOA documents. Throughout the process, Jan demonstrated a client-first approach. She was always responsive, using various communication tools to ensure I was informed and comfortable at every step. When an u…

Throughout the process, Jan demonstrated a client-first approach. She was always responsive, using various communication tools to ensure I was informed and comfortable at every step. When an unexpected issue arose with the condo’s HOA, she promptly offered alternative solutions, pivoted strategies within 24 hours, and reduced what could have been a 2+ month delay in closing to just 2 weeks. She even referred me to a new lender, saving me $20k in closing costs. What truly stood out was her integrity and genuine commitment to her clients. She never pressured me to buy and always prioritized my best interests. Jan is a true professional, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

When I was searching for a home in downtown San Francisco, I discovered Jan Zheng through social media. Her professional posts and law school background really set her apart from other realtors. My first instinct was that she was capable, smart, and professional—and that instinct proved to be right. As a client, working with Jan was easy and comfortable. She was always quick to respond via call, email, or text, and she communicated honestly, pointing out both the pros and cons throughout the process. Her years of real estate experience were invaluable, especially when it came to making the right offer and navigating the inspection. Jan also had a strategic approach that helped us get the best price. Beyond her core responsibilities, Jan went above and beyond by introducing us to helpful resources for remodeling. Thanks to her, we found and secured the home we love!

Thanks to her hard work and personalized service. She even helped my previous tenant to work with the buyer to purchase her furniture. I can’t empathize enough how many texts and back and forth communications just for helping my tenant to sell her furniture while my tenant was out of state. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Jan to anyone in search of a top-notch real estate professional. I personally will definitely work with her again whether I buy or sell in the future. Thank you, Jan, for exceeding my expectations and making my selling-my-house in a tough market journey a truly unforgettable experience.
