A couple of close friends referred Becky to us. We had another referral to a different realtor, who offered more incentive to buyers. We still proceeded with Becky because we were convinced by Becky's dedication to her clients after the first two meetings. Home buying is a long lasting or even life lasting experience and we wanted to be in safe hands than look for short-term gains. Our intuition was right. Becky is very professional and at the same time friendly. In summary, we really appreciate her dedication and professional service to her clients, during the property search, escrow period and even after the transaction closed. We also found a lifetime family friend in addition to a thorough professional realtor in Becky.

Becky is a professional real estate broker I will recommend to anyone who plans to sell their homes. She knows how to sell a house even in a very slow and competitive market. She will propose proper staging strategy and is willing to go extra mile to make a home more attractive and presentable. For our home, she even brought her own accessory to stage it when we were really short of budget to do so. As a result of her great efforts and presentation, our home was sold in less than two months at a decent price while three other similar houses in the same community are still sitting in the market. Becky is not only an excellent agent representing us is this transaction; the buyer purchased our home also enjoyed her presentation, trusted her so much and choose her as their agent.
During the whole process we were working with Becky, she made herself available whenever we need her assistance, never once lost her patience. There were quite a few times we had to go through some paperwork very late at night, she still happily accommodated our schedule and got the job done smoothly.
The sale of our home was very smooth and successful. We enjoyed working with Becky. So will you.

We are so lucky meeting Becky when we went to an "Open House", and now this house is our sweet home. We love the house at the first sight but the price is much higher than we expected to buy. Becky is the listing agent. Right after talking to her, we know we can completely trust her and we want to buy the house through her. With her professional assistance and reasonable suggestions during the whole process, finally we made it. Now Becky is not only our agent but our good friend. Becky is a very professional agent. She is incredibly knowledgeable about both the real estate industry and the around neighborhoods (she has a very useful website: beckyleehomes.com). As a dual agent, she perfectly presents both buyer and seller. We used other dual agents before so we know how a bad agent can ruin our transactions even we really want to buy the target house.
Becky is very hard-working. She is always available, reminds us what’s the next and is willing to answer all kinds of questions from the beginning to post-closing (which is extremely important for the first time home buyer like us). After closing, she still keeps us in the loop if there are new listings around our neighborhood. It’s good for us to watch our house value and to inspire us to our next target. Becky made the house shopping so easy and smooth. She did all the work and the only thing we needed to do is following her instructions. We highly recommend Becky for the house hunting needs; she will definitely deliver above and beyond what you expect from a realtor! Of course, we will ask her more help if we want to sell our house or buy another house.

Becky is an exceptional real estate agent and has truly broad knowledge and strong willingness in assisting her clients in real estate purchase, loaning / financing, and interior design for remodeling. We came across Becky last year to seek her professional opinions on the estate investment beyond the first home we had purchased. With the economy down turn and uncertainty in 2009, we made our decision of deferring a real estate investment and focused on remodeling our current home. Without any reservations, Becky provided us many valuable advices on the interior design, choices of material, and supplier’s info. She gave us more than enough tips to enable us to find the best contractor, to plan ahead for the remodeling process, and to monitor the progress to completion on time. While not working out a deal with Becky on the real estate sales in 2009, her patience and enthusiasm in supporting our need have deeply impressed us and made us believe she is the real estate agent of choice. She always put herself in her clients’ shoes and thinks about what works best for her clients.
In late 2010, we re-looked at our 2009 objective and highlighted our budgetary plan of purchasing a rental property for the investment purpose. She quickly jumped online to search all market info and provided us the related marketing info such as the range of real estate sales and rental prices, the recommended areas for the ease of rental, the options of loans and equity lines, and the overall return on investment with given purchased conditions. Her effectiveness and efficiency and faithful real estate info have again won our trust, making it easy for us to make a decision to bid when we visited a nearly new condo apartment close to Santana Row in San Jose. When closing the deal, the short sale negotiator was requesting adopting a much higher closing cost through a Title company off the bay area. Instead of rushing to close the deal, Becky stood strong on behalf of the clients (without letting us know in advance) and negotiated for changing Title to a local company to save us more than two thousand dollars of closing cost. Becky was also very patient and helpful in walking us through the finance process to maximize our return on investment. Without her real estate and finance knowledge and without her dedication to meeting our objective, the closure of deal with this condo apartment would not have happened within such a short time frame.
Becky, you are the best!

Becky is a very special real estate agent. Prior to meeting Becky, we have consulted a couple different real estate agents in our quest to purchase a house, but we felt as though they were in fact working for the sellers and not for the buyers. However, Becky was different. She respected and cared about our interests and gave us her insightful honest advice and suggestions during our search. We felt that she was being our true advocate representing our side at every business encounter. She was very patient with our decisions and never pressured us in any way. Her expertise coupled with her sincerity makes her a highly regarded trustworthy real estate agent. She is someone who will look out for the buyer's best interest. We are very happy with our recent purchase of our home and will definitely ask her to assist us again. We highly recommend Becky to anyone who is looking for honesty and integrity from an agent.

At our initial meeting with Becky, she appeared patient, trustworthy, and knowledgeable about the real estate market. Time has only validated our first impression, as Becky has proven herself to be an amazing real estate agent. Throughout the nine months that we searched for a home, Becky has been there every step of the way as both an advisor and a friend.
What we appreciate most about Becky is how much she prioritizes client satisfaction; her first and foremost objective has always been our happiness. In our search for our future home, we visited countless open houses and made dozens of offers. While the process could sometimes be tedious and frustrating, Becky never pushed us outside of our comfort zone to simply purchase a house. While she would provide valuable advice about every potential property, she also patiently listened to our opinions. She always honored our goals and wishes.
Furthermore, Becky is always available, prompt to respond, and eager to be of assistance. In fact, we sometimes received emails from her as late as midnight. Even while she was vacationing in Taiwan during the Chinese New Year holidays, she replied to our questions, however trivial, with speed and patience. Her diligence was a key factor is finalizing the deal for our new home. We visited its open house just two days after it was listed on the market—and not even during a weekend. When we were ready to make our offer, Becky had the necessary paperwork ready within a day. If it were not for her prompt action, we would not have obtained the amazing deal for our house that we did.
Besides just being a realtor, Becky is also knowledgeable about loans and remodeling—making the house buying process even simpler for us. After the seller accepted our offer, Becky found us a great loan to ease our financial obligations. And when we expressed the desire to remodel certain rooms in our new house, Becky assumed the role of an interior designer, offering insightful advice on current styles and colors.
We look forward to moving to our new dream home within the month, and we have Becky to thank for that. I would enthusiastically recommend Becky to anyone and everyone looking for a new home to call their own.

We recently closed our first home with Becky's help and really appreciate all the help and care she provided. Actually, she had been working with us for almost three years. During this period, we went to numerous "Open Houses" and had number of " Strategy Sessions" to fine tune our finances, needs and timing. Becky was always very objective, straight forward and took great pains to explain Cupertino market and complex buying process. She always focused on "what is good for us" and helped us take right decision rather than pushing us towards finish line.
During the final month , when I was working remote, she single handedly drove the process and made it flexible to meet our schedule. Her attention to detail (paper work , terms & conditions) is immaculate. She was always available to answer all our questions particularly during late hours and on the weekends. It is so easy to work with her. She is our trusted partner as long as we live in Cupertino/ San Jose area.

We Made A Move With Becky...and Loved It
My wife and I made a move with Becky and we loved it. Becky is without a doubt one of the most patient, hardworking and honest agent that anyone could ask for. We find it hard to believe that you can find a better agent working for you toward finding the house of your dreams.
We were first introduced to Becky in the Spring of 2009. She was respectful, cheerful, intelligent and most importantly genuine. Through we were only at the beginning stages of searching for our home, Becky was extremely patient with us. She took the time to drive us practically every Sunday afternoon for almost a year to help us find the home that we want. Throughout the whole process from the first meeting to the final closing date----never once did we feel that Becky pressured us to purchase a home that was not in our best interests. What we love about Becky is that she was always looking out for us and constantly had our best interests at heart. She was knowledgeable and patient with us and answered any questions that we might have---no matter how silly those questions might be. Though she might have heard the same questions asked of her many times, never once did she showed impatience.
Becky was patient during the search process but when we did find the house that we wanted she was quick to act. This is an immensely important trait to have from your agent as timing is everything in bidding on a house. Once we decided to place a bid on a home, Becky already had all the Offer Letter and Documents prepared and ready for our signature. This task would be completed that very day or the next day at the latest.
We remained loyal to Becky throughout the year long process and for that loyalty and faith, we were rewarded with our dream home at a reasonable price. We could not have been any happier with any agent and we will recommend Becky to any and all of our friends in the future as an agent. We made a move with Becky and we highly recommend that you do too.

If there is one stop shop with quality and comprehensive real estate service, it would be with Becky. She has been a realtor, loan agent, financial advisor, part time home decorator/general contractor and home maintenance contractor for us. She is a knowledgeable, patient and very dedicated professional.
We have been looking for a home since 2008 at leisure, and became serious at the beginning of 2009. It was a quite risky time to purchase a home, because of the “great recession” and scary uncertainties of the global unemployment outlook. We wanted to buy a “newer spacious home” in a “good neighborhood” with a “good public school” and “excellent” prices (something that we can afford with one income). We had many other “demands” for Becky, and she took all of them seriously. Even though she knew that our “demands” were near impossible, she quietly and diligently worked through the listings and showed us many homes which included short sales and foreclosures. She was very knowledgeable in financial and mortgage markets and real estate market trends of the bay area. She recommended less risky regions of price depreciation and advised us to avoid if possible. She was very determined to get us the home that satisfied us, and we knew that she was the realtor for us.
She prepared all the letters and financial documents early so that when there was a home that we liked, she would submit the offer as quickly as possible, and personally worked with the listing agents. She came over to our home many nights to facilitate the offers, and she kept everything very easy and flexible for us. When it was near the final stage of the purchase where seller and we were not budging from the final terms, she negotiated with seller’s side to close the deal to our satisfaction. She constantly prowls through the loan listings to get us the best loans possible, and even suggested and executed strategy to re-finance to even lower rate, when it was available shortly after the purchase.
We had no time to do anything but to arrange the move after the escrow close, since we were both working and taking care of an infant. We asked Becky to enlist contractors for remodeling the interiors, repairs and final clean up. She personally oversaw the progress every day, and examined details and quality of workmanship. When everything was done, we had a great, nice, clean, modern house to move in, and prices were quite reasonable. We knew that our new home was never possible if it weren’t for Becky’s tireless work. Our experiences with Becky was so good that my wife and I are recommending her to our friends and colleagues whenever chances we have.
