Margaret is a very professional and knowledgeable real estate agent. I worked with Margaret in purchasing my first home in San Jose, with little down payment. Margaret made my American Dream came true as a home owner in California with high living cost. I would highly recommended Margaret to anyone with your home purchase/selling needed and she will not let you down.

Margaret handled our transaction with professionalism and a win-win approach throughout. She negotiated hard for her client and worked diligently to bring it to a successful close. I'd be happy to work with her again.

She did a really good job, about recommending the house, negotiate the price , making offer, and she’s willing to work long hours to satisfy the buyer.
My wife, Fenny, and I are newlyweds. We decided it was time to get a home together rather than trying to share our separate houses. After discussing the essential requirements we started by going to open houses that we identified from internet sources. After about three months looking at condos, co-ops, and single family homes from Rossmoor, Castro Valley, San Leandro, Fremont, Newark, Union City and Hayward we were ready to buy. We asked Margaret Lin, a friend, to be our buyer agent. Margaret visited us that evening in our home and interviewed us about what we wanted and talked with us about what we could expect from her. The next day we toured homes with Margaret. One home seemed perfect for size, and location but a bit out of our price range. Margaret worked with us and an excellent mortgage banker to make this perfect house affordable and then helped us craft an offer for the home. With our offer quickly accepted we began the process of working with the mortgage banker for a ten day closing. Margaret was with us every step of the way. She helped us navigate several issues with the seller and mortgage banker that could have disrupted the sale. She understood what was important to us and brought the purchase to a successful conclusion. Margaret continued to work with us after closing supplying needed referrals for local suppliers and services and she helped us navigate through the entire process. When we stopped touring open houses I told my wife I wanted an agent that would help us buy our new home. Margaret was the perfect agent. I would love to recommend her to friends and family and anyone who wants a true professional realtor. Many, many thanks (terima kasih!).

Margaret is the real estate agent that you want if you are looking for someone who is super efficient, great negotiator, friendly, and who will fight for you to get the best deal possible.
I never thought that I will be able to afford to purchase a property especially in the Bay Area, but Margaret made it all possible. Because of her and fighting spirit, I was able to secure the biggest grants worth $47,000 that went towards down payment which shocked not only me, but Margaret as well since this is quite unheard of!
I highly recommend Margaret to anyone who is looking to buy a property! It was a great pleasure working with her!

Margaret was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very patient throughout the process, always took the time to explain everything clearly, and communicated promptly. Her negotiation skills helped us get a great deal, and her friendly attitude made the entire experience much smoother.
I feel incredibly lucky to have met Margaret—our introduction was purely by chance. At a gathering, I saw my middle school friend chatting with her, and he called me over to introduce us. As fate would have it, I had just started thinking about buying a home before my lease ended in the summer.
Two weeks later, Margaret and I began touring listings. She even took me out to dinner for my birthday, which was such a thoughtful gesture! Over the next couple of months, she helped my wife and me search for a home that met both of our preferences. It wasn’t easy—we had different ideas about what we wanted—but Margaret was incredibly patient and supportive throughout.
At the end of March, we finally found a place we both loved. That’s when Margaret really shined. She handled countless rounds of back-and-forth negotiations with the seller’s agent regarding major issues like the aging roof and termite damage. She didn’t just push for quick fixes—she carefully strategized and even advised that we request a price reduction instead of having the seller pay for repairs. Her reasoning? It would lower my tax burden on the sale and save on interest payments in the long run—something I wouldn’t have thought of on my own.
Throughout the entire process, Margaret was a rock. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. She was incredibly responsive, whether by call, text, or email, and always took the time to explain every detail thoroughly. As someone who asks a ton of questions, I really appreciated her patience and depth of knowledge.
We closed on our new home at the beginning of May, and I couldn’t be happier. Margaret is not only kind and thoughtful—she’s a highly skilled professional and a savvy negotiator. I can’t recommend her enough!!!

She is always involved and made sure everything goes smoothly and as planned. We have a 3 weeks closing but with everyone’s effort we closed 2 weeks!
First and definitely not the last time I will work with Margaret! Cheers and congratulations once again!

It was my pleasure working with you and wish you all the best.
My daughter and son-in-law had the pleasure of working with Margaret to purchase their dream home. It was an incredible experience for the young couple with limited resources and chances to own a condo and next, a single family home in SF bay area within 3 years time. Throughout the whole buying and selling process, Margaret was professional, trustworthy, highly knowledgeable about the local market and made sure they felt like a priority.
Margaret came through with her hardwork, efficient communication and commitment to excellence. Her negotiation skills were first-rate – she consistently found ways to get them the best deal possible. She also went out of their way to ensure every detail was taken care of – from arranging inspections, researching potential issues with a property to remodel and stage the condo - ready to be sold in the best condition.
Throughout their journey, Margaret demonstrated immense patience and understanding of their situation. Whether they needed additional time for research, or require more information on a particular property, she took it all in stride. Margaret were supported by highly efficient lenders, inspectors, appraisers, escrows and contractors team that led to smooth and speedy closing process.
I would highly recommend Margaret to anyone looking for top-notch real estate services!

Margaret is a great agent, and I had a great experience with her. Even though the transaction took longer than expected from our side, the seller side, she and her clients were incredibly patient until we closed. Without her help, this could not have happened. Margaret is super responsive and very detail-oriented. If you are looking to sell or buy a home, I would definitely recommend her
