My story
As a local Silicon Valley luxury real state specialist, deal maker, and tough negotiator, my absolute fascination with real estate started when I was only 23 years old. During my first year in the Bay Area, after moving four times within that year, I purchased my first condominium in with my $29,000 yearly salary. This leap of faith sparked a lifelong passion to build a career in the real estate industry.
MY PHILOSOPHY
Real estate lets me blend data-driven strategy, market insight, and high-level service. To me, luxury is not just a price—it's about excellence, discretion, and care. As a top producer in Santa Clara County, I deliver seamless, elevated experiences and treat every deal as a legacy. I aim to reflect luxury, success, and mentorship in every relationship and result.
WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT?
Proven Results: Since 2018, I’ve consistently closed $50–$60M annually. A former top 1% producer at Intero, I joined Century 21 in 2024 and now rank in the top 5% of Santa Clara County agents, with 99% of listings sold—85% from repeat and referral clients.
Expert Guidance: With deep market insight and an eye for lifestyle trends, I help clients navigate the Bay Area market with confidence.
Strategic Edge: My design and construction background ensures every detail—staging, execution, and marketing—is handled with precision.
Hands-On Service: Known for working seven days a week, I personally manage every step, blending sharp negotiation with unwavering dedication.
Leadership: I lead with intention—listening first, then crafting bold strategies and standout offers.
White-Glove Experience: A hospitality-driven approach means anticipating needs and consistently exceeding expectations.
Relationship First: Every deal is a relationship. I stay connected as a trusted advisor long after the close.
ABOUT ME
MY PERSONAL ROOTS:
Born in Changchun, China, I was the independent (often “difficult”) eldest daughter. At 13, I left home for boarding school, and by 18, I made a bold move to Dubai—working in a five-star hotel before pursuing hospitality studies in Switzerland. I later earned a degree in Hospitality Management from Washington State University.
My journey eventually brought me to the Bay Area, where I launched my career. Having lived and traveled across the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and the U.S., I bring a global perspective that helps me connect deeply with clients from all backgrounds.
