Clara is a true professional! She was always prompt and thorough in responding to all our inquires. In our absence she took care of everything to get our home ready to sell. She advised about repairs and preparations to ready and stage open houses as well as how to get the most exposure in defined time lines. We valued and trusted her guidance and suggestions. Both my husband and I highly recommend her.
Clara has been an amazing agent. She has helped me sell multiple properties, all for a far higher price than I could’ve imagined. She’s also helped me buy property on a number of occasions - helped pick the right location and price. In both buying and selling, she’s made the process seamless and easy. Anyone not working with her is making a mistake.
Clara helped my fiancee and I buy a single-family home in Santa Clara in an extremely competitive market. She always took the time to make sure we were well informed about the home buying process and the current market, and she was very responsive to our emails and texts at any time of the day and night. We challenged her a bit by asking her to make an offer with 1 day's notice and making 4 offers in 4 days. However, she worked tirelessly to make it happen on time. When we made an offer on the final house, we were competing with a higher bid. Clara managed to work her magic and win us the house! Clara works very closely with a loan agent named Caroline Wolf. They have both earned my absolute trust, and I highly recommend working with both of them.
Clara is our real estate agent, and I feel so lucky to have her there while we were looking for our first house! Clara is very patient. Before we even start going to open houses, Clara spent hours understanding our needs, educating us and explaining current market. She accompanied us to the first few open houses and during the open houses, she explained to us in detail how to observe the condition of the house. As we got more and more familiar with the process, Clara didn't go to open houses with us anymore; however she would still go to visit our favorite houses and provide valuable suggestions, no matter how busy she was. Clara never pushed us into buying a house and was always there to help us when we need her. She toured the candidate house herself and provide suggestion; she gathered as much information as she could to help us make an informed decision; she prepared offers for us regardless of how late into the night it was. I would highly recommend Clara! |
We feel fortunate to get Clara Lee as our agent. She helped us through the selling and buying a new property. Besides the market cool down, she was able to guide us and get the deals closed in a short time. She is a market expert and a very detailed oriented agent. She stayed positive and calm, gave us enough details and data about the market, and was a winner on both selling and buying. She was always available for us, worked beyond her schedule to get things sorted; and she never paused on anything, listened to us, and gave us reliable details to move forward. I would rate Clara as the most dependable and trust winning agent in the bay. I bet anyone who worked with her would feel the same. Kudos, and thank you for all the hard work.
I feel extremely lucky to have been referred to Clara Lee. The bay area housing market is extremely competitive and finding a house in the right location with the right price was not easy. We were outbid several times and now I've learned that the way to win a house around here is to have a very capable agent. Clara went above and beyond when making the offer on our current house, making sure we made the most attractive offer, negotiating with the sellers, and other small tricks that she knows about. We would not have won without her expertise and efforts. Another special quality of Clara is that she is trustworthy. She is fair and honest with all parties. One of my biggest concerns was finding an agent that was honest and would have my best interests in mind. Clara will not push you to make offers and she will actually dissuade you from purchasing houses that she thinks you won't like even though it would make her job quick and easy. You will be in good hands with Clara!
So, perhaps I am remiss for not having posted this review ten years ago when Clara first entered my life ... But, the silver lining regarding my delay is I now have such extensive experience working with Clara that I can now expound on all that is amazing about Clara Lee. At this point, Clara has aided me five separate times with regards to my real estate and housing needs. Clara couples unsurpassable professionalism and real estate acumen with compassion, diligence and intelligence. Really. There is no one who works harder than Clara for her clients (more about that below). She listens to what you want and I can count on her input and guidance in every instance. This is because I know she has her finger on the real estate market and pulse of various regions in the Bay Area and has my best interests at heart every single time. She goes above and beyond EVERY single time. If you are looking for an agent, you need to contact Clara immediately!
I had a positive experience with Clara, not only once but twice as my real estate agent. Clara's skill set went above my expectations in both instances. She envelopes her knowledge of the market, economy, aesthetics of a home, and utilizes a wide variety of resources to transform a home into a beautiful property. With Clara's guidance, the transactions with her went smoothly and effectively. I would recommend Clara for your real estate needs
We have absolutely no regrets in choosing Clara as our realtor! Clara never hesitated to go the extra mile to facilitate our home buying process. She really cared about us and always offered valuable advice on things we were never aware of. Unlike some realtors who only want to secure a quick deal, Clara was different - she truly wanted us to be completely satisfied and at peace with our initial offer and eventual purchase. And never once did she pressure us to make decisions quickly - in fact, she wanted to be sure that we weren't being overly excited and impulsive as first-time homebuyers. Clara made the whole process seem like a breeze with her extremely detail-oriented and efficient nature! She is extremely reliable and can always be trusted to get things done ASAP. Homebuying might be an ordeal for some people, but Clara worked her magic and made our initial fears vanish. If you want a realtor who truly cares about you as a person, choosing Clara is the way to go!
I am a first-time buyer and Clara was an absolute godsend -- I can't imagine doing a house transaction without her by my side now. She is incredibly caring, patient, thoughtful, delightful, and very diligent. I was told it's rare to find agents who truly look out for your best interest, but Clara is that rare diamond. She went above and beyond in several dimensions, from actively sourcing houses to see despite an incredibly long list of criteria, replacing me as a stand-in for some inspections when I couldn't attend during work hours, conducting interviews to help me source the best person for a variety of jobs, spending hours on calls or in person late into the night to educate and explain everything from documents to the process, and simply being there to support me and my family as a kind human being.
Clara made our house buying experience as painless as possible. She started off by adding us to her mailing list. Basically, we gave her the details of what we were looking for and when a house came into the market with those specs, it was e-mailed to us. This was useful to us, too, because it kept all of these houses in our own personal list and we could look at them and compare. Next, she took us to any of the houses we wanted to look at. We looked at a few houses before we actually found a house that we wanted to bid on. Not only did she treat us as a friend during this whole process, she did even more for us after the house was sold. Since she knew we were planning our wedding, she helped us set up the fumigation appointment, helped us set up utilities, met with the carpet guys, etc. It's hard to find realtors like that. Usually, it's "oh yes, I got my commission, NEXT!" But, I never got that impression with Clara. In fact, we still see each other from time to time.
