SUCCESS STORIES

I initially listed this apartment building with KW Commercial broker. After several months the property being in the open market and not sold, I decided to pull it out of the market. Han Widjaja Chen then reached out to me and introduced himself as the apartment specialist in the area.

I then decided to try his firm and listed the property with him. Within the first few months, he produced a total of nine (9) offers, and the buyer who is also a real estate broker just closed the transaction.

During the marketing period, we discussed the logistics of the transaction a lot and Han provided good insight and information that I believe valuable in the sale process. His depth of knowledge and experience in selling apartments in San Gabriel Valley is quite impressive. I am very happy with the result that he produced. I absolutely will work with Han in the future for any apartment/commercial sales as I think that his team is one of the best apartment brokers in San Gabriel Valley area.

We had owned the Garfield Glendale Apartment since 1982, and it had served our family well. We got your name from our best friend that sold his property in Pasadena to you. We decided that it was time for us to retire and sell the property along with our two other apartment buildings. We met with you to strategize and then decided to list all the properties with your team. Within the first month, you were able to generate six offers on the property.

Despite the challenges we had with the first buyer due to the condition of the building, you brought us the final buyer that agreed to purchase the properties in its as-is condition without any repair credit, and this buyer successfully closed the transaction today!

We are extremely happy with the depth of knowledge, expertise, and experience that you bring to the table. We thank you for how you brought us the most suitable and best buyer in this challenging market. We are grateful that you helped and represented us in these sale transactions and will absolutely refer our friends and family to your team for any apartment sales as we think that your team is one of the best in the industry.

Dear Han:

We had owned the Monrovia Apartment since 1988, and it had served our family well. We got your name from our best friend that sold his property in Pasadena to you. We decided that it was time for us to retire and sell the property along with our two other apartment buildings. We met with you to strategize and then decided to list all the properties with your team. Within the first month, you were able to generate interest in the property and generate an offer on this property.

Based on the market condition and the activities we had, we decided to accept the offer, and the same buyer has just closed this transaction. We learned a lot about the process of selling an apartment building from our interactions with you and the buyer during this process. We are extremely happy with the depth of knowledge, expertise, and experience that you bring to the table. We also appreciate the way you deal with this buyer who is a first-time apartment buyer; and how you masterfully lead them to the closing table.

We are grateful that you helped and represented us in these sale transactions and will absolutely refer our friends and family to your team for any apartment sales as we think that your team is one of the best in the industry.

Dear Abel and Marc:

On behalf of my family, I’d like to thank you for helping us achieve an extraordinary price for our vacant fire-damaged property. This property had been with the family for over 25 years and when the fire happened, I knew it was time to sell. I had received multiple unsolicited offers & opinions of value from other brokers and all of them were below my expectations. Once I met with you, you helped push the value of my property & saw the potential in it. You guided me with pricing and explained to me a strong trade range of what we could expect in today’s market.

Soon after I signed the listing agreement with you, your team pushed the marketing of our property and gave dozens of tours to buyers to ensure substantial quality offers. You then went on to deliver a total of 18 offers to choose from, with a lot of them being close to our expected trade range. When it came time to negotiate, your advice helped our family obtain the best price and terms possible.

During the escrow process, you helped us overcome a lot of unforeseen issues and made this experience as easy as possible for us. You were not only reachable and attentive but also very creative on how to get the deal to the finish line. You were fundamental in getting this deal closed and I couldn’t be happier with the results you delivered. My family & I look forward to doing more business with you in the future. 

Excellent. Han adeptly and professionally navigated a rapidly changing capital markets landscape to get our acquisition across the finish line. His knowledge and experience are a true value-add to the process. Anyone should feel good about having Han represent them in a transaction.

Dear Mr. Han: We thank you for your help and assistance in the purchase of Collins apartments in Tarzana. We appreciate your honesty and get-it-done approach, and your guidance during the transaction. We believe that your good relationship with the seller was the key point in getting this transaction done.

It was a pleasure in dealing with a professional and very knowledgeable commercial broker like yourself. We would be more than happy to refer our friends and family to you and look forward to doing more business with you and your firm.

Han: Our family had owned Roble apartments since 1979 and it has been a wonderful investment for us. We were selling because the time has come for us to reduce our workload in managing the apartments. I had been working with and receiving some unsolicited offers from other brokers before I met you. After hearing good words about you from my other trusted advisors, I decided to meet and then exclusively list the property with you. I can tell you that many other brokers were very unhappy after I signed the listing with you.

From the get-go, you prepared me and helped me understand some of the tactic’s buyers may use against sellers. You also gave me a clear understanding of the market conditions. Shortly after we hit the market, your team brought me multiple offers. At the end of the day, we ended up with 11 offers and you recommended the strongest buyer that closed the transaction successfully.

During the process, you have proven your worth as true professionals. I learned a lot from your wealth of knowledge. You are also very reachable and very creative with good ideas which I believe helped push the sale to the finish line. You also work well with my staff, and other trusted advisors, which helps. I strongly believe that you are one of the best commercial brokers to represent my interest and I am very happy with the results you delivered to me. It would be a pleasure to do more business with you in the future.

Dear Han: We had owned the apartment since 1995 and it has served our partnership well. We were very happy with the investment; however, we decided to sell because it was time for us to dissolve the partnership. We know several other commercial brokers, but after seeing how successful you are selling your clients’ apartment buildings, we decided to hire your firm to market our property.

From the get-go, you were very upfront and honest about the current market situation, how the market is shifting towards the buyer’s market, and how you are going to help us sell the property. You came up with recommendations that we believe helpful in getting this property sold. Within a couple of months, you brought us multiple offers and helped us select the buyer that successfully closed the transaction. During the escrow period you helped us with the process and to our understanding you guided your buyer as well in navigating the whole process.

You were instrumental in getting this property sold at the best price to our partnership. We believe that you are the best broker to represent our partnership and are very happy with the results you brought us.

We would be more than happy to refer our friends and family to you and look forward to doing more business with you and your firm.

Han: I had owned this Prospect Ave apartment since 1976. I have good relationships with many other commercial real estate brokers/agents that are active in San Gabriel Valley. When it was time for me to sell and exchange my South Pasadena apartments, I decided that your team and firm are the best team that can deliver the most value to me.

Shortly after I signed the listing with you, you brought multiple offers. The initial offer from another broker was a bit low, but you then brought your own buyer that was in a 1031 exchange and made a solid and ALL CASH offer. You advised me to take the offer which I did, and the transaction went smoothly without any issue. Best of all, the buyer did not ask for any credit during escrow.

Your team also helped me with getting tenants to sign the estoppels which I knew would take a lot of laborious work. Your team went above and beyond to get this deal done. I am extremely pleased with the final price and the result that you brought to the table. I look forward to doing more business with you in the 

Dear Han: I had owned this Temple City apartment since 1987. Before I met you, I had been working with another agent from Coldwell Banker Arcadia for over a year and even gave him a 6-month listing. After over a year period, that broker still cannot sell my property. You called me at the right time, and you provided ample evidence for me to give you an exclusive listing.  

After I signed the listing with you, I saw how creative you were in inventing the best way to sell my apartment. I realized that my property being on the market for 6 months was not making it easy for anyone to sell it. In addition, the high interest rates do not help either. I saw how you spent money hiring an architect to make my property look better. I appreciate how you updated me in the whole process and how available you were during the weekends to meet with me and explain the marketing progress/status.

Your hard work produced results immediately. Within 3 weeks after I signed with you, you brought me FOUR (4) offers! You advised me on which buyer to choose, which led to the successful sale of this apartment. Multiple offers within such a short period of time showed how good you are in this business. I was pleasantly surprised that my CPA who is an astute apartment investor (broker and attorney) was also your client. I am extremely pleased with the result that you brought to the table. I look forward to doing more business with you in the future.

Abel, Han, and Marc: Thank you for helping our family sell this retail-restaurant property. We had listed this property with another top-performing firm for about 6-months, and they could not bring any considerable offer.

Soon after we signed the listing agreement with you, your team pushed the marketing of our property and continued giving tours to multiple buyers. You then went on to produce multiple offers to choose from. As the market changed, we realized the difficulty in selling a vacant retail-restaurant in this market, and your team’s ability to produce real results within a couple months of listing the property is a testament of how focused and professional you are.

You were able to overcome many hurdles that occurred during escrow period and closed the transaction for us. We are grateful that we were able to sell this retail property. Thank you again for your and your team’s professionalism! My family and I are looking forward to doing more business with you in the future.

Dear Han: My family has very good relationships with many brokers and agents in Los Angeles County, but we went ahead and picked your team as our exclusive listing agent for our Hurlbut St property when the time comes for us to sell it. We have very good experience with you protecting our interests and getting us the most value for our investment properties.

Shortly after listing it with you, you brought us a solid offer from a 1031 exchange buyer. The offer was very close to our asking price, and we went ahead and accepted it. The transaction went very smooth, and the buyer closed the transaction in an all cash & quick close transaction.

We have dealt with many other brokers and we know that we would get better pricing and result when we hire you as our listing agent. Thank you again for the exceptional result you’ve brought. We look forward to doing more deals with you in the future!

Selling our Almansor apartments was not an easy choice to make. The apartments had been in our family since 1971 – over 50 years. When we decided it was time to sell, we reached out to your team for an expert opinion on the value of the property. We decided to list the property with you after seeing your team’s aggressive valuation. Although the property’s rental income was significantly below market and we had 2 vacancies during the sale, you expertly advised us on the best way to effectively handle these issues.

We received multiple offers from your clients within 2 to 3 weeks of signing the listing agreement. We listened to your opinion of each buyer and then went with your recommendation. The buyer successfully closed the transaction without any issues.

My family is more than pleased with the results that you brought to us! Working with your team has been a very pleasant experience. We can tell that your team are experts in this niche market by the way you facilitated the transaction. It was a smooth transaction and we got an excellent price for our apartment building.

Thank you again for you and your team’s professionalism and efficiency! I look forward to doing more business with you in the future.

Evan, Thanks and congratulations on shepherding the apt. sale to conclusion. I know it was a tough chore especially the closer we got to closing escrow. I had confidence in you from the first time we spoke, and you did not disappoint. Your firm did a superb job of advertising and promoting the property. Rest assured you have a brilliant future in real estate. I was particularly impressed with your ability to keep going back and forth with buyers. As it turned out, the property went well over listing price due to your patience and negotiating skill. You displayed professionalism throughout the process especially in navigating the due diligence and disclosure phases of the escrow. You always promptly returned calls and provided answers to questions. For the fine job you did, I salute you, and am pleased to recommend you to others. Best wishes.

Dear Han,  I would like to thank you for your help in selling 638 N Mar Vista in Pasadena. We brought the property from you several years ago and after seeing your consistent and continued success in your brokerage business in Pasadena, we’ve decided that your team is the best person to handle the listing.

Shortly after we signed the listing agreement with you, you brought us five (5) offers. You advised us to pick the final buyer that paid full price and closed the transaction successfully.

Your team handled the sale of this property for us with professionalism; and delivered an exceptional result. We thank you for your help in selling the property for us and wish your team continued success in your brokerage business.

Dear Han, My partnership would like to thank you for helping us SOLD The Fairmount apartments in Pasadena at a good price. We are very well connected with most brokers/agents in Pasadena area, but we went ahead and picked your team as our exclusive listing agent for the property when the times comes for us to sell it.

Although we signed an exclusive listing agreement with you, we specifically requested you not to advertise it in the open market to avoid interruptions to our tenants and on-site manager. We didn’t want our on-site manager to know that we were selling the apartment.

Your team showed exceptional professionalism and brought us the buyer that agreed to pay our price and closed the transaction without any credit nor repair request. This is rare especially dealing with this large type of apartments. During the process, your team made the sale very smooth and without any issue. Your team delivered valuable service to the table for our partnership, and we are delighted with the result that you brought to us.

Thank you again for the exceptional result you’ve brought. We look forward to doing more deals with you in the future!

I was a developer and a real estate broker for a long time. I built this property back in 1987 with an excellent quality construction. Due to personal reasons, I had to sell the property and exchanged into a less management intensive asset. Seeing how successful Han in helping his clients sold their apartment properties, I contacted him and gave him an exclusive listing agreement.

We went into escrow shortly after with another agent’s buyer. Unfortunately, the other agent did not have good control of his client and the deal fell apart. Shortly after that Han brought his own buyer that came in with a good offer and all cash. Han guided the transaction smoothly and the transaction closed sooner that scheduled.

I deeply appreciate his persistence, know how, good control of his buyers, work ethics, and professionalism regardless of the market challenges. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any apartment owners who are looking to sell their apartment properties.

Dear Han:

We have owned Live Oak apartments in Arcadia, CA since 1961! Being a real estate broker in California, I had a good idea of a commercial broker I would like to hire when the time comes for us to sell this apartment. I knew I had to hire someone that specialize in selling apartment buildings and someone that has an excellent track record of getting high price for their clients. That is why I called you.

From the time we discussed pricing, and closed escrow, your team has been very responsive and professional. We listed the property with you, despite many other brokers’ call for the listing. In total we have received 7 offers within the first 7-8 days the property hit the market.

You helped us picked the final buyer that closed the transaction without any issues.  You also advised us throughout the whole process and brought your unparalleled expertise and experience to the table. I want to thank you for the knowledge, expertise, experience, and professionalism that you brought to the table. You sold the property at a good price for us. Thank you, Han!

We had listed 2185 Pacific Ave for 6 months with a family friend, a residential agent, who we believed could sell our property. However, months passed and to our disappointment, he was only able to garner one low and unreasonable offer. As the listing expired, we were unsure if our property could be sold at all.

We ultimately decided to try again, and exclusively list 2185 Pacific with Growth Investment Group. Han and Justin were both very knowledgeable with regards to commercial real estate, and the current condition of the market. The level of expertise between seasoned commercial brokers and a residential agent was very apparent in the course of action taken to properly market our building and attract more substantial offers.

Han and Justin helped us picked the final buyer, who offered very close to asking, that closed the transaction without any issues.  They also advised us throughout the whole process and brought your unparalleled expertise and experience to the table. I want to thank the both of you for the knowledge, expertise, experience, and professionalism that was brought to the table. You sold the property at a good price for us. Thank you, Han and Justin!

Dear Han & Jeanelle,

Thank you for helping my family successfully sold the last of our Glendale apartments portfolio. As you both aware, I am very well connected with other brokers and firms in the area, and yet I choose you to help me sold my last Glendale apartments portfolio.

You SOLD 3 properties to your own buyers, and they closed the transaction without any hiccup. The way you control your buyers and how they closed the transaction without any credit shows your team’s professionalism and how you delivered value to me.

Thank you for your hard work in making these successful transactions. Your team delivered the result and value that I was looking for in a successful brokerage team. I look forward to doing more deals with your team in the future.

CALTECH only hires the best professionals to represent their interests in important matters. When we decide to sell THE VILLA apartments that have been in our portfolio since 1970, we did not have to look further than your group. Seeing the successes that you have delivered to your clients made the decision to list the property with your team a smart and logical choice.

Shortly after listing the property, the global COVID-19 pandemic hits. Your team plowed through this major challenge and continue pushing for private tours and encouraged offers on the property. We received a total of 8 offers in a middle of global pandemic!

The final buyer you helped us pick closed the transaction smoothly without any issue during escrow. This result was a testament of how good you are in your specialized field! 

We thank you for your hard work, professionalism, persistence, and honesty in making this a successful transaction for CALTECH, despite the downturn in the market. We look forward for continued successful relationships with your group in the future.

We first met with Han Widjaja Chen when we bought our apartment properties in San Gabriel Valley around 5-6 years ago. Since then, we have bought additional properties in Los Angeles County and have fostered good relationships with many active real estate brokers and agents.

When our family decided to exit California apartment market altogether, we were facing an option of hiring multiple brokers to sell each building or hire one great broker. At the end of the day, after seeing Han’s approach to selling apartment buildings and how he has successfully helped his other clients getting good price for their apartments, we decided to hire Han as our exclusive listing agents to sell all the apartments in our portfolio.

Not long after we signed the listing agreement with Han, the COVID-19 pandemic hits! Regardless of that, he plowed through, continued his marketing and calling; and soon enough he successfully sold 6 buildings for us, each building to a different buyer (no quantity discount!). In some instances, he even helped us lease-up vacancies to push for the sale (vacant units reduce the loan amount and reduce buyer’s pool).

We deeply appreciate his tenacity, work ethics, professionalism and his “get the job done” attitude regardless of the market challenges (Covid-19, Los Angeles eviction moratorium, tenants’ delinquencies, etc.).

I have owned this building for 17 years; I recently decided to move out of state and exit the California apartment market altogether. Several brokers contacted me with interest in listing my building, but I decided to list it with Han’s group.

Right off the bat we had many interested parties, and although the unit mix is a bit challenging plus COVID-19 was raging in the market, Han was able to bring multiple offers. He advised with the pro and con of each buyer and able to help me select the strongest buyer that closed the transaction with an all-cash deal to avoid any appraisal and loan risks.

I deeply appreciate his persistence, work ethics, professionalism and his “get the job done” attitude regardless of the market challenges. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any apartment owners who are looking to sell their apartment properties.

Han: I am pleased with the result you delivered for The Del. The process was smooth and easy. You brought me the perfect buyer who was in a 1031 exchange and closed the transaction successfully. What’s even more impressive is you were able to turn your one listing into multiple 1031 exchanges on two different deals that you controlled!

Once again, thank you for helping us close the transaction successfully. I am delighted with the result. I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Dear Han,

My family has owned the Del Mar apartments in San Gabriel since 1951. I am extremely happy with the successful sale that you delivered to us! I know that we sold at top dollar, and most importantly, at the right time. Before COVID-19 pandemic intensified in the area.

During my ownership, many brokers solicited my business. After receiving many of your cold calls, and your mailers, I decided to exclusively list the apartment complexes with you. I know you worked hard on it immediately. The sale process was not without challenge, as we received multiple offers with different pricing and terms. You held your ground in negotiating full price with the final buyer, and you delivered the results beautifully. Your upfront and tough negotiating style worked to my benefit.

You sold my property at top dollar value where other brokers that have competing listings in the City of San Gabriel cannot sell their listings! On top of that, you did it under extreme conditions, where the threat of financial market collapse due to Corona Virus was real. Your result was a testament of how good you are in your specialized field!  I thank you for your hard work, professionalism, persistence, and honesty in making this a successful transaction for me, despite the major challenges in the market. Thank you Han!

I am extremely happy with the result you brought us for my property in South Pasadena. Prior to working with you, I was unsure that I would be able to get a high price for the property. You helped me model financials so I could compare and evaluate what was the appropriate pricing, this professionalism stood out the most amongst the other brokerages. With a strong listing price, and Han's charisma and strong negotiation skills, we were able to close at near asking despite challenging pushback from the buyers after poor inspection and appraisal results.

Once again, thank you for helping us close the transaction successfully. I an grateful for Han's competence and ability to manage difficult back and forth negotiations with positive results. After this experience, we know that we have found a broker to rely on long-term to maximize my property value. I look forward to partner with you again in the future.

We have owned this property since 1985. We are extremely happy with the result that you have brought to us. We know many other brokers and yet seeing how successful you are, we decided to sign a listing agreement with you. We asked you to keep the marketing in house and confidential to avoid any disruptions with our manager. Within the first 3 weeks you brought us a total of 5 offers! With your guidance, we selected the best buyer that have completed several transactions with you.

During escrow, the COVID-19 pandemic happened, and this posed significant problem to the sale transaction. You kept us updated on where buyer’s position during this entire time, and you professionally handled every objection that buyer came up with to backout of the deal even after they have removed all contingencies. In the end, you successfully brought this sale to a successful closing!

My family is grateful for the successful result a true professional like yourself brought to the table. We knew that we picked a winner broker as soon as we saw how many offers you produced after we signed the listing agreement, and that is without exposing the property in the open market!

We thank you for your hard work, professionalism, and persistence in making this a successful transaction for us, despite COVID-19 pandemic! Thank you again Han.

We decided to have Matthew help us sell our commercial property in Bell Gardens and are very pleased with the results. He advised us every step of the way, from our initial meeting showing us what we could expect to get for our property through the escrow process to achieve the outcome we wanted. He put together a beautiful marketing package and through his extensive customer database, our property was seen by thousands of active investors. We received multiple offers and ultimately decided to go with the offer we felt was the best fit. Towards the end of our escrow, something very unexpected across the market occurred causing a lot of people, including the buyer, to panic nearly causing them to back out of the deal forfeiting their deposit in escrow. However, with Matthew’s guidance we were able to save the deal and get our property sold. Thank you, Matthew! We genuinely recommend him to anyone looking to sell their commercial property

Dear Han:

Thank you so much for all your help! As you know, our family has owned this property for a long time, but it was time for us to finally sell this apartment. You were referred to us by our family members who had an excellent experience of you selling their apartment building in Monrovia. We are so glad that we went ahead and hired you.

You were always very responsive in your communication with us and pushed hard for the value or our property. Within the several weeks of being on the market, your team brought us an all cash buyer that closed the transaction successfully. It was a very smooth transaction with an ALL CASH BUYER that closed it quickly and it was an AS-IS sale!

Your marketing strategy and connections with buyers sets you apart from other brokers, and the result you delivered makes you one of the best apartment sales brokers in San Gabriel Valley area.

Once again, thank you for all your help and a very successful sale and a perfectly executed sale. I appreciate all the diligent efforts you spent on selling our Temple City apartment. I hope to work with you again on other deals in the future.

I am extremely pleased to have been able to work with Matthew and his team. His skillset and
professionalism are what drew me in and ultimately helped me decide that Matthew was the one who would help me get the job done. 

We received multiple offers right away, some of which were at full price, while he diligently helped me choose the buyer that would be able to close the deal without losing valuable time. 

The result was nothing short of what I expected. He was in constant communication whenever I needed him to be, he listened to my questions and concerns, and he treated me and my decisions with respect. Matthew cares about his clients and what he provides for them. His goal is to be
of service to the people he works with and I recommend Matthew to anyone who is interested in receiving top dollar on top of five-star service

Finding the right broker was not easy. I initially listed the property with a very well-known broker from a national company. However, the result was far from expected and he was not able to bring any solid offer. On the contrary, you brought me many offers within a month after listing it. I was pleasantly surprised by the offers you were able to generate even though the property has been listed not a long ago. What’s even more impressive is you were able to turn this one listing into multiple 1031 exchanges on three different deals that you controlled!

Your “old-school” approach of calling buyers, your marketing strategy and connections with buyers sets you apart from other brokers, and the result you delivered makes you one of the best brokers in San Gabriel Valley area.

Once again, thank you for all your help and a very successful sale and a perfectly executed sale. I appreciate all the diligent efforts you spent on selling Amberwood Terrace. I hope to work with you again on other deals in the future.

Dear Jeanelle,

Thank you for all the effort you spent on helping us acquire Palm Dr. The property generated immediate upside, and we could not be more satisfied with the result. You helped us identify a multi-family property that suits our investment criteria perfectly in a short time period, managed every single step of the transaction from start to finish with incredible professionalism and genuine care, worked well with the listing agent, and closed the deal smoothly.

Securing a deal in the competitive Glendale market is not easy. Your knowledge of the area and competition served as a key factor in the process of identifying the property and having our offer selected by the seller.  We appreciated your frequent updates on potential properties and your advice on acquisition strategies for us as buyers. You made yourself available even late at night and on the weekends. Your expertise, diligence and work ethic impressed us, and we would recommend you to any property investor who needs a hardworking and dependable realtor to help them acquire properties that will bring the most value to their investments.

We are extremely happy with the result you brought us for our property in La Crescenta. Prior to working with your team, brokers from other firms had brought unsolicited offers. However, the offers we received had significant lower price than the ones that you have brought us.

We consulted a couple of firms, including national companies, for their opinion of value before we decided to sell the property. You pricing stood out the most among all the evaluation we got. You give us the highest price evaluation, which is way higher than other broker’s price. Not only were you able to come up with a very strong price, but also you were able to deliver a closing price that is extremely close to what you have estimated.

Once again, thank you for helping us close the transaction successfully. All of the partners from the Madison Group are delighted with the result. After this experience, we know that we have found a broker to rely on long-term to maximize our property value. We look forward to partner with you again in the future.

Dear Han,

Selling Rancho Yosemite was not an easy choice to make. My family has held this property for more than half a century and the original developer that built the property. We were not thinking about selling. However, after listening to you, we realized how much value you can bring us by selling this property and finally decided to sell.

Working with you has been an extremely satisfying experience. You made sure that we are clear about with every single step and had frequent communication with us to ensure that we are updated and informed.  Our manager and advisor were also very impressed with how well organized you are and your ability to handle difficult situations.

I have to say that you are one of the most hands-on, dedicated, and professional brokers I have ever met. You not only demonstrated high levels of professionalism but also show genuine care about your clients. My brother and I both felt that we can depend on you to turn things around when difficulties arise. I am very glad to see Rancho Yosemite close. Without you, the process would not have been so smooth.

Dear Han,

We weren’t originally planning to sell our property in Eagle Rock but the unique market we are experiencing today presented an opportunity that we could not refuse. My family was the original developer that developed the property in 1950s and we were proud to own Rancho Yosemite for the time that we did.

After our excellent experience dealing with you on the sale of our other partnership property in Arcadia, we decided to hire you and your team to list the property and we achieved exceptional results.  After procuring close to 10 offers, we were able to close escrow on time. There were some complications during escrow period; however, you were able to work closely with my other advisors in bringing this to a successful close.

This sale demonstrates the skill and ability of you and your team as top brokers in the area. You are willing and able to go above and beyond to ensure your clients satisfaction. I can attest that you are amongst one of the most professional and dedicated brokers I have ever met. You were patient, work well with my manager and advisors, communicative and care about us as your clients. We cannot be happier with the result that you brought us. I would recommend you to our friends and families when they want to sell their properties.

Dear Han,

My family has owned The Sands apartment since 1963. During our long-time ownership, we have received daily calls and direct mails from other real estate brokers soliciting our business. When I decided to sell this property, it was crucial that I hire a broker that can give me the maximum price for this apartment to complete my 1031 exchange.  With that in mind, I knew exactly whom I should hire to represent me.

I have known you for some time and have seen how you were able to sell your listings at high price with multiple offers. Furthermore, you are an easy professional to work with and were willing to cooperate with my family member who’s also an active real estate broker.

The sale itself was not easy due to shared driveway. However, you convinced several buyers to submit their offers and then helped me pick the right buyer who’s in 1031 exchange and closed the transaction successfully WITHOUT any re-trade during escrow!

You deliver a result that exceeded my expectation. I always knew that you are the best apartment broker in South Pasadena area! Please rest assured that I will recommend you to my friends when they are looking for an excellent real estate broker in Los Angeles County area! I thank you for your professionalism and hard work in this project. 

I know many commercial real estate brokers that service Arcadia area. Owning Kenwood for more than 30 years, I received daily calls from brokers that wanted to sell my property. After seeing your success in getting top value for your clients’ properties, I decided to call you and ask for your opinion of value on my Kenwood.

I was quite astounded by the estimated value that you gave me as it was much higher than I originally had anticipated. I wasn’t sure that you would be able to deliver the result. However, immediately after listing it with you, you brought me 10 strong offers and helped me pick the right buyer that closed the property successfully in an all cash transaction! During the whole process, you were very professional, knowledgeable and responsive. I am very impressed with your professionalism and work ethics.

You and the GIG team exceeded my expectations and again, the resulting deal was exceptional. I was truly impressed with the level of service throughout the entire process. I will strongly recommend you and your team to any other real estate owners who are looking to sell property and need an expert broker that will obtain the best possible deal.

Han: I have been involved in multi-family real estate since 1959. I have bought a number of apartment buildings, 46-unit, 41-unit, 8-unit in Whittier, 116-unit and 86-unit in Oregon. 

The sale of our Pasadena property was without a doubt the hardest and most difficult because of the high prices and small profit margins. It was one of the easiest sales over the years that I experienced.

Han Widjaja Chen did a great job of selling off-market to keep stress of my tenants and disruption in the building to a minimum. Thank you and I would not hesitate to use your services in the future. 

As an owner of a high quality apartment building in a highly desirable area of San Gabriel Valley, I talked with many brokers who were trying to help me sell my building. This has provided me with a large selection of qualified brokers who can help me market and sell my apartment building.

I decided to hire Han Widjaja Chen to help me sell the apartment because he shows consistency, persistence, and professionalism to execute the job. In addition, the fact that he successfully sold more than $75,000,000 worth of commercial real estate within the past 3 years in a down market and access to ±30,000 buyers and brokers also reinforced my decision to hire him.

My decision was spot on. He produced Seven (7) offers from qualified buyers. He connected me with other qualified real estate professionals that assisted me in clarifying a title transfer issue. He professionally orchestrated the due diligence and escrow period with buyer.  He worked with the appraiser in justifying the contract price based on his deep knowledge of the market.

Best of all, he helped me avoid price reduction during escrow and successfully closed the transaction.

I cannot say enough about Han’s professionalism in selling apartment building and would highly recommend him as a listing broker to any seller who is considering selling their apartment property.

Han: As a licensed real estate agent mostly dealing in residential properties, I knew that I needed someone who specialized in apartments to help sell our asset as we prepared to exchange into something bigger. Having received plenty of your calls throughout the years and also working with members of your team in the past, I knew that the Growth Investment Group would be the right choice to help us with our goals. Your persistence in calling me with market updates throughout the past few years showed me that you are dedicated in your work and would not stop until my property was sold.

Almost immediately after the apartment went on the market, we were bombarded with multiple offers that were near or even above our asking price. This was impressive as it really showed just how effective your marketing strategies were. The fact that you and your team were able to compile it together so quickly was also extremely remarkable. Even after accepting an offer based on your recommendation, you still continued to invest in marketing our property just so we could have backups lined up. The level of service and commitment you provided to us is well appreciated.

There were a lot of obstacles that presented themselves before the closing of escrow and you and your team went to bat for us every time. The buyers for this deal were the most difficult ones we have ever had to deal with but you stayed calm and presented solutions at every turn. We are extremely glad that we had you on our side and this deal might not have closed without you. We would not hesitate to recommend you and the Growth Investment Group to anyone that is looking to sell their properties and need expert representation.  

Dear Han: Before committing to an agent, I conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best choice in terms of investments they made into selling my property and how they promoted their listings. We have owned this apartment for close to 20 years and this sale is very important for our family investments. It was imperative that I found a broker who could get me the most value for my apartment property.

You and the Growth Investment Group stood out as the best San Gabriel Valley had to offer with your aggressive marketing tactics, diligent approach to your listings, and in-depth market knowledge. From the moment I hired you I knew the sale would be a smooth process.

You were able to deliver multiple all cash buyers and closed the deal at full asking price with only 13 days on the market! I am extremely pleased that this sale represents the highest price per unit for any apartment sale in the City of South Pasadena.

I thank you for your professionalism and hard work in this project. You deliver a result that exceeds my expectation. Please rest assured that I will definitely recommend you and the GIG team when I am looking to sell my other apartment properties. 

Dear Han: I remember the first time you ever called me was around 8 years ago. At the time, I was not ready to sell any of my apartment buildings. When I recently decided I would finally be selling, I knew I needed someone who was both tenacious and determined to ensure that this deal would close quickly and with minimal issues. For 8 years, you were the only broker to ever consistently call me to touch base and I admired that. You did not let my initial rejection deter you and this proved to me that you were the right man for the job.

Unsurprisingly, you were able to bring in strong offers from serious buyers within days of it being on the market. This is not only proof of the effectiveness of your marketing approach, but also a testament to the quality of the connections you have made in your illustrious career. Furthermore, your team has always been professional and responsive in all communications with me or my family members. It is reassuring to know that there are a group of committed professionals working around the clock to guide us every step of the way.

I always said that one of these days I will do a deal with you. That day is finally here with the successful sale of 711-715 Brent Ave.

Trusting your expertise, I chose the strongest offers from the most serious buyers and I let you handle the rest. Needless to say, you did not disappoint as there were never any major issues and escrow closed smoothly. After knowing you for so many years and seeing how hard you work, I can confidently recommend you to anyone that is looking to sell their commercial real estate. The fact that you go above-and-beyond for your clients is what sets you apart and I am thankful that you were the one to represent me in these deals. 

Dear Han: When I decided that I wanted to sell my apartment property, I knew I had to find a broker who was both knowledgeable and tenacious. Being a licensed agent myself, I had always seen your name everywhere pertaining to the sale of multifamily properties. After giving you a call and meeting with you for the first time, I understood why. Your expertise and proposed marketing strategy was significantly better and more thorough than what any other broker had presented to me in the past. Upon seeing your track record first-hand, I knew you would be the right broker to sell my property at top dollar.

You were able to procure around 10 offers on my property, demonstrating your persistence in your marketing efforts as well as your ability to negotiate good deals for me. For every single offer, you went into great detail about its pros and cons to help guide me into making the best choice. With your expertise and recommendation, I selected a strong, all-cash offer that was just under our aggressive asking price, and closed extremely quickly.

Not only were you able to help us choose the right buyer for our property, but you and your team provided an exceptional level of service throughout the whole process from listing to sale. It was a great pleasure working with you on this transaction and I would highly recommend Growth Investment Group to any apartment owners who are looking to sell their properties and need professional guidance in this market.

Dear Han Widjaja Chen: Our partnership has owned the property since 1958 and in January 2017, we decided it was time to sell. We decided to hire you because of your persistence, diligence, and intimate knowledge of the Arcadia apartment market.

We were very pleased to have you bring us 5 strong offers within the first 10 days, and you helped us to pick the right buyer that closed the property successfully.

Your team delivered results that exceeded our expectations and the resulting deal was exceptional. We were happy with your service throughout the process and in fact, now consider you a friend. We would strongly recommend you and your team to other real estate owners who are looking to sell their property and need an expert broker that will obtain the best possible deal.

I knew I made the absolute right decision in selecting you and the Growth Investment Group when it came to listing my apartment building in Glendale. I required a broker that could get me the most profitable deal possible and because of your stellar track record, marvelous reputation, and knowledge of the market I decided to list my property with GIG. In simple terms, I was blown away by the exceptional results.  

I listed this property a year ago with another firm and they could not meet my goals. After listing my property with GIG I was able to receive a deal far above market value. Your team’s aggressive marketing efforts, advice and guidance truly exhibited your commitment to obtaining the best deal for me. You certainly helped me achieve my goal because of the higher selling price and higher net proceed.

Not only were you able to find the best deal possible, but also you completed one of the smoothest transactions I have ever experienced. You and the GIG team exceeded my expectations and again, the resulting deal was exceptional. I was truly impressed with the level of service throughout the entire process. I will strongly recommend you and your team to any other real estate owners who are looking to sell property and need an expert broker that will obtain the best possible deal.

We have owned the property since 1970s and decided to sell the property due to personal reason. We started entertaining offer from other broker before we exclusively listed with you.

We decided to hire you because of your diligence, professionalism, and knowledge about San Gabriel Valley apartment market. Before listing with you, you showed us a copy of simplified contract that we can use for the sale.

Immediately after listing it with you, you brought us additional 7 strong offers and helped us pick the right buyer that closed the property without any concessions.

Your team delivers result that exceeded our expectations and again, the resulting deal was exceptional. We are happy with the level of service throughout the entire process. We will strongly recommend you and your team to any other real estate owners who are looking to sell property and need an expert broker that will obtain the best possible deal. 

Our family and partners have been long-time apartment investors in South Pasadena since 1980. I initially hired Han Widjaja Chen back in 2012 after selecting him from 8 other brokers. We appreciate his professionalism, straight-forward and honest approach to problem solving. His honesty, strong work ethics and single focus in our best interests are what set him apart from other brokers.

Since selling my first building with Han, I’ve relied on him and his expertise whenever deciding to either sell or buy apartment properties in Los Angeles County. I recently hired him to sell my Magnolia Apartment in South Pasadena. I received unsolicited offers from a direct principal and discussed the All-Cash offer with Han. Putting that offer aside, I continued to list the property with Han at higher price and he successfully sold it for full asking price to an All-cash buyer! The result and process truly exceeded my expectations. Even my best friend who owns large apartment complexes told me that I got top price for my Magnolia Apartment.

I have also referred many close friends who were seeking for a dependable broker to help them sell their apartment properties. I recently referred Han to one of my tenants from China looking to invest in an apartment building in the US. Knowing Han’s work ethics I know that they are in very good hands. I told Han that I have other long-time apartment owners that are looking to sell this year and I will be referring them to him. 

Matthew was professional and really impressed us. Unlike other Riverside agents that we’ve dealt with who do it all Matthew only specializes in Commercial Apartments and it shows. He went over every step with us. He showed us what similar properties were selling for and what we could expect to get for our property. 

We had deferred maintenance and the property was in need of several repairs, to the point that I didn’t feel it was in selling condition. Matt assured us that he could sell it as is and he delivered above and beyond.     

He put a lot of effort into marketing the property ensuring that we had the best buyers possible.

 
We received many offers within the very first week, several of which were above asking. Matt helped us select the most qualified buyer. We ended up closing with an all cash offer above asking price. 

I would definitely use Matthew again and would have him sell any of my family member’s properties as well. 

After owning our apartment buildings for many decades, we decided that we wanted to see what the market could offer and possibly trade up to a bigger investment. We have been looking several years for a broker that can help us reach our investment goal and we truly found that with you after tried working unsuccessfully with many different brokers. Knowing that this over-saturated seller’s market would soon adjust itself in the next year or so, you were able to bring buyers for our 2 apartment buildings extremely quickly and at prices we wanted. The fact that you worked with our timeline and delivered the sale of both of our properties within a week or so of each other is a testament to your aptitude and capability as a broker.

Even more impressive is the fact that you were able to streamline the sale of our properties with the purchase of our exchange property that closed days after our 2nd apartment was sold. We strongly doubt that another broker could have coordinated these 3 transactions as smoothly as you did. Throughout the entire process, you and your team were always available and handled yourselves like true professionals. With 3 transactions happening concurrently, there were bound to be some small hiccups along the road but your company ensured that any problems that were occurred got resolved.

We can truly say that we’ve found our broker and we have plans for many more deals in the future. Anybody who is looking to sell or invest in the commercial real estate market would be wise to seek out you and your team. Your knowledge and expertise are great assets that other brokers cannot yet provide our family and we want to thank you for helping us navigate this market.

We own a portfolio of apartment properties in excess of 1,000 units in greater Los Angeles area. We recently repositioned our portfolio and decided to work with Han Widjaja Chen to help us sell our properties. During the past 24 months he successfully helped us in selling eight of our properties with excellent results.

We really appreciate the expertise, professionalism, tenacity and persistence that he brings to the table. He brought us aggressive offers from qualified and proven buyers that closed the deals.

We absolutely recommend Han Widjaja Chen to any potential client based on the superb seller representation he provided.

As an owner of multiple multifamily properties in San Gabriel Valley for more than 20 years, I recently hired Han Widjaja Chen to represent me in the sale of an apartment building in Pasadena.

He took time to understand my requirement, the property and then priced the property aggressively to maximize value in current market. He diligently marketed the property and blanketed the market with the offering. He fully cooperates with brokerage communities to maximize value and minimize time on market.

In the end, he produced multiple offers with two full price offers from other brokers. He successfully closed the transaction at full asking price and helped me achieve my goal for this property. I highly recommend Han as a listing broker to any seller who is considering selling their multifamily properties in San Gabriel Valley area.

I want to personally thank you for your assistance and professionalism with the sale of my apartment property in South Pasadena.

As mentioned to you, I interviewed three other local brokers for the job before I hired you. I even met with them several times. These brokers showed me the lowest sales comparable that are not comparable to my property with the hope that I will sell my building at the lowest price.

You on the other hand were exceptional. You presented detailed sales comps, pointed out how you are going to sell my building, and provided me with good listing price recommendation.

After I signed the listing agreement, you delivered exactly as you promised. In about two weeks I had 2 solid offers. You then used those offers against each other to bid up the sales price. It really comforts me knowing that I sold my property at the highest price this market can pay.

In addition, I really like your approach to solving various problems that arise during due diligence period. You presented the problem calmly, and then give recommendation for me to make my decision. I have done many real estate transactions in the past, but this is the first time I felt that my broker really protect my interest and represent me to his best ability.

It has been a pleasure working with you and I truly enjoyed your professionalism and your unique approach to brokerage. I look forward to working with you again in the future.

You helped us by working with our attorney in pursuing the sale of our 20-units apartment in Pasadena. With multiple owners within the family partnership, the sale was not an easy one. You persistently worked with us for more than a year before our family partner agreed to sell the property.

You brought us multiple offers from qualified buyers and advised us in choosing the most qualified buyer who closed the transaction successfully. You then assisted us with our 1031 exchange and helped us in getting another apartment in Monrovia. You guided us throughout the purchase process and we were ecstatic to get a property that fits well within our criteria.

Han Widjaja Chen initially provided us with an aggressive opinion of value for our property. We invited other brokers to bid for the business as well. We decided to exclusively list our property with Han Widjaja Chen due to his professionalism and aggressive pricing.

Within short period of time we received multiple offers. The first several offers were low compared to our expectation; however, Han was able to leverage those offers and secured an offer that is very close to asking price.

The transaction itself took longer than usual due to various hurdles with the buyer’s loan and the fact that we have 3 other family members as part of ownership. Han was able to resolve those issues, bridge all communications between 4 sellers and a buyer, and held the transaction together. During this period, we were working with our 1031 exchanges as well. We are very happy to know that we sold our property for 10% more than appraisal value. Han helped us sold our property for over than market price.

We endorse Han for his aggressiveness, diligence, and persistence in finding the right buyer, negotiating highest price for us and handling this sale. We strongly recommend Han to other commercial real estate investors that need an excellent commercial real estate broker. 

You have done an excellent job with the sale of our apartment building in South Pasadena! We are very happy with the result that you brought to us. The pricing estimates that you gave us were aggressive but achievable and you proved it through the successful closing of this transaction.

Of course we had a major bump with the appraisal value being 20% below sales price; however, you were able to have buyer close the transaction without any price reduction!

You are the consummate professional, and I have enjoyed every step of the sale process with you. I would love to work with you again in the future for any apartment transactions I might have. 

I want to convey my appreciation for your successful effort in marketing my apartment property in Baldwin Park.

You brought many offers through your marketing efforts and helped me pick the right buyer that closed the transaction successfully.  In addition, you helped me get a discount on current loan pre-payment penalty with my lender through your relationship with the lender.

I really appreciate the added value that you brought to the table. I would love to work with you again in the future for any multifamily transaction I might have.

I am writing to express my complete satisfaction with you as my listing broker. I found you very professional, responsive, as well as knowledgeable. You worked hard, illustrated a great understanding of contract detail, negotiation, and a systemized process of selling an apartment building. Best of all, you delivered great result and sold my property for 5% more than asking price, with a total of 18 offers!

There is no way for me to express how much I appreciate the tremendous value of working with you, but I will absolutely be working with you again when the time comes to buy or sell my next property. 

I want to personally thank you for going out of your way to make the sale of my property successful and painless. I encountered many challenges during the marketing process and escrow period; however, you as my broker provided great advices to make this transaction possible and successful. Your team carried out the transaction logistics excellently and even helped with the distribution of tenant notices.

Ultimately, you sold my property for the full asking price and the buyer closed the transaction without any price reduction.

It was truly a pleasure working with you and I look forward to my next real estate transaction with you.

First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude for your hard work that made these 1031 Exchange transactions possible. 

Your knowledge, expertise and diligence on the sale of my properties and these exchanges were evident throughout the process. You not only helped me sell my property but you found replacement properties that yield higher cash flow than my previous ones. 

I appreciate the tremendous work you put on these transactions and I look forward to our next real estate transactions. 

We would like to personally thank you for your expertise, outstanding service and integrity in handling the sale of our apartment property in Rosemead, CA. There are many professionals in the business but few who have your market knowledge and execution.

Your multifamily market knowledge and relationships with area investors are invaluable. Thanks to your experience, we received multiple full-priced offers and a closed transaction with a short due diligence period without any re-trade attempt from the buy side.

Your pricing strategy, though aggressive is achievable, which ensured we received the maximum value for our property.

Bottom line, we appreciate your tenacity in making the transaction run smoothly. You exceeded our expectations. It was a pleasure working with you and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

I listed my property with other commercial real estate broker before I decided to list with you. From the start, you showed tremendous professionalism, persistence, and diligence. As a former active real estate broker, I know that these are the qualities that differentiate you from other brokers.

You brought me multiple offers that were very close to asking price and gave excellent advice in choosing a buyer that closed the transaction successfully. You helped me found an all cash buyer that made a very strong offer.

It was truly a pleasure having you represent me as my listing broker. I enjoyed working with you and your team and would highly recommend you to other apartment owners who want to sell their apartment properties.

I received daily calls from many brokers that claimed they can sell my property at high price. These brokers never brought any offer on my property. I have been in the business for a long time and I know that they are fishing for a listing. When I met you, you brought an offer immediately from a buyer that was going to redevelop my property. Shortly after that I decided to list my property with you.

During the listing period, you showed tremendous professionalism, persistence and dedication in selling my property. You brought a total of six (6) offers on my property; all were your buyers, at prices that I like. I believe you sold my property at higher price than other sale comparable in the city of Downey.  My Alameda apartment is a mixed use building; thus, the sale took longer. You helped me and the buyer navigate the whole process. Your experience and resourcefulness in handling this sale is amazing.

My family thank you for the result you delivered; the value you bring to us truly exceeded our expectation. With this sale you have helped us achieve our retirement goal faster. It will be our honor to recommend you to any property owner who wants to sell their apartment property and gets an excellent result. 

I wanted to thank you for your hard work and support through the process of selling our property in South Pasadena. The property had been in our family for several decades and selling it required a delicate approach to preserve the community living in our building.

Before we decided to work with you, we met with several brokers in the area but none matched your professionalism and track record of success.  Your effective pricing and marketing strategies resulted in several offers and at a price that was favorable to us.  Without your knowledge and expertise, I am sure that we would not have been able to obtain these results.

It is so important to us that this transaction went smoothly and that the community that lives in our building was preserved. It was a pleasure to work with you and we hope to have the opportunity to work with you and your team again.

Thank you for your tremendous effort and service when helping me sell my apartment building in Pasadena.  As an experienced real estate broker myself, I can speak to the level of professionalism and quality of service that you and your team were able to provide. You and your team helped to make this one of the best experiences I have had working with a broker. 

It is without a doubt that this professionalism and service, in addition to your skills as a broker, resulted in us obtaining a top price for the property. We were presented with multiple qualified offers and ended up having one of the smoothest escrows I have ever experienced.

I am extremely pleased with how attentive and thorough you and your team were when dealing with all aspects of the transaction, from listing to close. I will definitely recommend Growth Investment Group to my family and friends for their investment real estate needs and look forward to having the opportunity to work with you again in the future.

We could not be happier with the level of service we received from you and your team. Our property was in our family for more than 45 years and it was a major part of our retirement nest egg. When it came time to sell, we needed someone who would be able to find a buyer who would pay the top price and care for the place like we did for all those years.

You and your team were able to present almost 10 offers to us for our property and we were able to sell it for full asking price without any credit to the buyer. We know that we did not leave any money on the table on this sale. This process had its challenges, but you and your team were able to guide through it all and we are extremely happy with the results.

I am confident that we would not have been able to navigate the sale without the expert guidance of you and your team. I would recommend GIG to anyone who is looking to sell their apartment building and needs a top broker who will give them the attention and guidance they need through every step of the process. 

We decided to hire you and your team to help us find a suitable replacement property to complete our 1031 exchange. We sold our multifamily property to reduce our management responsibilities. We were on a tight deadline because we had already sold our down-leg property. You and your team were able to identify several suitable properties for us to choose from. In the end, we decided to purchase 18782 Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach and were able to get the property at an exceptional price.

You were able to advise us on how to structure our offer in a way that would make it the most attractive to the seller, enabling us to obtain the property for well under the list price and for less than offers from other buyers. We were able to close escrow on the property swiftly and well within the required timeline for us to complete our exchange. Your dedicated service, attention to detail and market knowledge put GIG in a class above other brokers and made this transaction as seamless as possible. I would highly recommend you and your team at the Growth Investment Group to anyone who is completing a 1031 exchange. 

We weren’t originally planning to sell our property in Arcadia but the unique market we are experiencing today presented an opportunity that we could not refuse. My family was the original developer of the property in 1989 and we were proud to own 838 Fairview for the time that we did.

After interviewing several other brokers, we decided to hire you and your team to list the property and we achieved exceptional results.  After procuring close to 10 offers, we were able to close escrow on time and broke the record for the highest price per unit ever for an apartment building in the City of Arcadia. I am excited to know that we did not leave any money on the table on this sale.

This record sale demonstrates the skill and ability of you and your team as top brokers in the area. It is clear that you are willing and able to go above and beyond to ensure your clients satisfaction. The transaction was as seamless as possible thanks to you and your team and I would recommend GIG to anyone looking to sell their property. 

We have owned Sierra West since 1972. You brought us multiple aggressive offers and advised us in picking the most suitable buyer that closed the transaction smoothly. Most importantly, you made the difficult parts of negotiation painless for both parties and brought invaluable service to the table. You advised us on various difficult issues during escrow and played a crucial role in the successful closing of this sale.

Thank you for your professionalism in representing us in selling our 81 units portfolio in San Fernando Valley area. The pricing estimate you have given us was accurate and precise. You accurately identify buyer that allowed us to close the transaction successfully. Most importantly, you made the difficult parts of negotiation painless for both parties. The tenacity you uphold made this deal possible for both the buyers and the sellers.

Even though we have long standing relationships with other brokers in the area and get calls daily from them, we chose to work with you because your professionalism stood out to us and it helped us deliver exceptional results.

This letter is to show my appreciation for your selling efforts and persistence in helping me to close Villa Washington transaction in Pasadena. I have been involved with real estate for over thirty years as an investor. I can attest that this has been one of the most complex transactions that I have completed.

There were eight (8) different parties involved in this transaction and large quantities of due diligence documents. With legal counsels, multiple entities, and seller that have their own ideas, it was not an easy one. You certainly brought tremendous value to the transaction and have made this a successful acquisition for me.

I am totally pleased with every aspect of our relationship. Thank you so very much and I look forward in our continued working relationship in multifamily investments.

Please accept this letter as my complete and full endorsement of the excellent services provided in relation to the successful marketing and sale of Meridian Apartments located in South Pasadena, California.

In today’s market, having a skilled broker on your side is critical. Your services were of tremendous value to me and your track record speaks for itself as we had 8 offers within a 2 month time frame.

You have proven to be effective, knowledgeable and efficient. You have been involved in the process every step of the way from top to bottom. Your handling of this transaction from conducting tours, due diligence, appraisal and negotiations were invaluable and critical for closing this deal.

You are truly a dedicated professional who knows your surrounding market and area well. Your marketing strategies were top notch. You brought together vast expertise, experiences, and connections that were great assets when trying to sell a property.

You helped us sell our apartment property at a good price to us and were able to make this a win-win situation for buyer as well. We cannot thank you enough for guiding us with our negotiations and the closing process.

We truly appreciate the value that you brought and would love to work with you again in the future for any multifamily transaction that we might have. It was a great pleasure working with you! We would highly recommend you to anyone selling or purchasing multifamily properties.

Thank you for a job well done on our Del Mar Apartment building in Pasadena, CA. As a former TOP Agent with Coldwell Banker for twenty five years, I am familiar with the real estate process and ups and downs typical with any transaction.

You were tenacious in your communication about the apartment market for several years, and even though it was always pleasant to speak with you and learn updated information about the apartment market, we always said we were not interested in selling. Nonetheless, you brought us the perfect buyer and for a price that we could not reasonably refuse, insomuch as it is the highest price per unit in all of Pasadena. Your impeccable negotiation skills have truly set the bar for other brokers.

I enjoyed working with you from the beginning meeting to the close of escrow. It would be an honor for me to recommend you to any apartment owner who may be thinking of selling and their hoep to get the best results possible.

I want to convey our partnership’s appreciation to you. You have proven to be very resourceful and effective in selling our apartment property in Pasadena. As mentioned to you several times, I interviewed several brokers before deciding to exclusively list it with you. It was the right decision to make.

You professionally presented our property in the best lights and brought us seven (7) offers. We achieved our target sales price. We understand that you sold our property for higher than its appraised value; that was good news to us.

My partners and I really appreciate your diligence, resourcefulness and ability to bring the sale to its finish line. You deliver an excellent result for us. Without hesitation we are happy to contact your for our future business.

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with your service. It is difficult to find someone you can trust and get the job done with a high degree of integrity and honesty you possess. Your expertise and guidance have proven invaluable, especially with your understanding of the processes involved in the this kind of market.

Your personal attentions to seeing this deal go through completion and your willingness has made this transaction successful. Thank you so much for your hard work. I look forward to doing many more transactions with you!

We recently selected Han Widjaja Chen to partner up with our son at Keller Williams Realty in listing our 28-units apartment for sale. During the listing period, Han’s team brought multiple offers from qualified buyers. He found a strong buyer that made a solid offer on our property. His negotiation expertise provides tremendous value especially during due diligence period. He successfully orchestrated the transaction and made this a win-win transaction for all parties.

We received unsolicited offers from other brokers before we decided to exclusively list the property with you. As a result, you brought us higher offer from the same buyer that submitted the previous offer and they closed the transaction successfully within our timeframe.

You have helped us sold TWELVE (12) of our properties within the past 36 months and we are happy with all the results and value you are bringing to the table. We look forward to do our next real estate transactions with you.

Thank you for your persistence and hard work in helping CALTECH acquire Del Mar Apartments in Pasadena. Your constant contact with the seller has gotten us the result that we hoped for.

Together with your diligence and determination, you were able to communicated with the seller and got the ultimate response to make this purchase possible. Your perseverance as a Broker is admirable. You never lost sight of the goal and you maintained the determination to attain it. You have made this transaction smooth and painless for us.

We interviewed EIGHT (8) different brokers from various companies. We hired you because we see that you are honest, diligent, very knowledgeable about apartment sales, and understand our goal to get the highest price.

Within 3 weeks after we signed the listing agreement, your brought us multiple offers on the property. You sold our property at 99% from listing price! We are very happy knowing that we get the highest price for our property.

Having been president of three banks, I have been through hundreds of purchases, sales, and other real estate transactions. This sale was the most seamless of my experience largely because of your professionalism, excellent and timely communication and problem solving. The sales price that you obtained for the Del Mar apartments are the highest price per unit for apartment sales in Pasadena.

You represented both us, the seller, and the buyer, and the results truly exceeded our expectations. We have found you to be an extremely trustworthy, knowledgeable, and sensitive real estate broker. I hope we can work together on another transaction and I want to assure you that I would totally recommend you to any apartment owner.

We are extremely pleased with NINETEEN (19) offers that you brought within the first 3 weeks of your marketing. More importantly, you sold our property for $100,000 more than our asking price to an all cash buyer that goes NON-REFUNDABLE upon acceptance!

It was an absolute pleasure working with you on this transaction. The quality of work and professionalism was of the highest caliber every step of the way.
