ZillowVERIFIEDSpencer really took some extra steps to protect my interests as the seller, and upheld the higher standards of compliance. He was very flexible and open to my sales price, and let me make the decision along the way when to reduce to market rate in this falling market. So I didn't feel pressured. But once the decision was made, then he hopped to it, working relentlessly to get the deal closed within the escrow window. I had given up on being able to sell this property for a clean profit, but he made it happen in about 5 months in this falling market! He has a lot of confidence to be able to negotiate on my behalf, so I was satisfied with my final sales price. Thanks again!

ZillowVERIFIED Spencer Hsu helped us purchased our first home. He made the whole experience seamless. As a first home buyer, we were overwhelmed by all the processes but Spencer and was readily available to answer any questions we had. It only took us less than a month to find a home we love. With Spencer's strategy, we were able to get our first offer accepted. From touring houses to closing, Spencer and his team made it all a pleasant experience. We purchased our lovely home in San Jose area. I'd recommend Spencer to any one looking to buy or sell their home as is he the best realtor in the Bay Area!

ZillowVERIFIED As a first-time homebuyer, I found Spencer via his YouTube channel, and I was impressed by his knowledge on the home buying process and the housing market. I really loved his data-driven conclusions and recommendations so I decided to reach out.During our introductory Zoom call, Spencer understood almost instantly my preferences and recommended multiple communities that fit my budget. In the next few weeks, we toured the model homes and discussed each. Spencer was super responsive, patient, and straightforward. His on-site reviews were always insightful, which played a key role in my final decision.With Spencer's help, it took me less than a month to find my dream home and sign the purchase agreement, which was way sooner than expected. Spencer is definitely the best realtor one can ask for!

ZillowVERIFIED I've known Spencer for a couple years now and I finally have had the opportunity to buy a house with him. I fully vouch for Spencer's professionalism, market insight, and negotiation skill. Spencer was knowledgeable and readily available at all times and helped me navigate the home buying process, for which I am very grateful. If you want someone who takes you seriously and executes flawlessly, you should work with Spencer.

ZillowVERIFIED Spencer is a gem to work with! As first-time home buyers, we had a lot of questions and concerns. Spencer was not only knowledgeable but was also extremely prompt in responding to everything. There were multiple instances where we literally wondered how he was always just a min away from responding to our texts/emails, no matter what time of the day it was haha.What we especially love about Spencer was that all his recommendations and suggestions are data-driven and always backed by facts. His entire team is extremely professional and a breeze to work with. They went out of the way to accommodate our requests and work around our schedules.We worked with 3 other realtors before we were introduced to Spencer via a referral and I can undoubtedly say that he is one of Bay Areas' best!

ZillowVERIFIED We cant recommend Spencer enough! From the beginning, Spencer set himself apart from the other real estate agent we had worked with. He set up zoom calls with to discuss strategy and budget. Communication was always clear and before the weekend he would text us to game plan about listings we wanted to see. What impressed us most was even though he was on vacation he helped us put an offer on a house. Originally, we werent going to bid on our house but he gave us astute advice and our bid was accepted! We would definitely work with him again!

ZillowVERIFIED Spencer is a highly knowledgeable, data-driven and a very well-connected realtor. It took us quite a while to find that perfect house due to our very specific parameters and SpenceraEUR~s expertise, knowledge and guidance is what made the whole process easier. it was such a pleasure working with Spencer and his team. What a fantastic group of people! Even during the escrow process, when we hit a snag with our initial lender, it was all thanks to Spencer and his network that we were able to very quickly choose another lender (out of multiple) that he connected us to. Spencer saved the deal! :)I highly recommend to anybody who is planning to sell or buy a house to reach out to Spencer and I guarantee you - you will not regret it!

ZillowVERIFIED I signed a listing agreement with Spencer Hsu to sell my home. Spencer was willing to put his own money up of around $4600 so that I could have staging and a new garage door. But it came with a price. He charged me an extra 1/2 percent commission, put verbiage in my contract that states he could reduce the price of my home by 2-3%, every 2-3 weeks If my home didn't have any traffic or interest, and there would be a lien against my home if it didn't sell. All this for $4600. I can understand the lien, but everything else, I never saw verbiage like that ever in any real estate transactions in the past. What all this is saying is that he'll go all out the first two weeks to sell my home at the highest price possible and order to get the highest commission possible, but as soon as those two weeks is over he would concentrate solely on just getting back the $4600 he put up front, by continually lowering the price of my home so that it could sell faster to get his money back. After two weeks he would no longer care about satisfying me as a client. I have since cancel my contract with Spencer Hsu, and would not recommend his services.

ZillowVERIFIED Spencer was a great help in our home search! He was very knowledgeable of the San Jose area & knew how to help us create competitive offers. Spencer was a very reliable source of information throughout the entire process, and was surprisingly available at all times. Any text message or email that we sent him was promptly replied to, which was very needed in this fast paced market.When it came time to make offers, it was clear that he was always diligently discussing details with the seller to figure out if this place was truly in our price range & how we should structure our offer so that we do not end up overpaying.

He came referred from a friend that worked with Spencer to buy and sell their properties in the Bay Area last year.

ZillowVERIFIED Spencer is the best real estate agent! I first came across Spencer via his YouTube channel in July as I was looking to buy my first ever home. I contacted him with a bunch of questions and he explained to me the entire home buying process in great detail. This really helped me a lot as I have zero knowledge about the home buying process at all. He was there to guide me from start to finish. He was also always there to answer my questions anytime of the day whenever I sent him a text message or for a quick call. When I was still shopping around for a home, he also showed me listings of past homes that he has sold and current homes in the market within my budget so that I could have a sense of idea what kind of home I could get with my budget. When I had asked him for some historical housing market data in San Mateo county he sent me a spreadsheet pretty quickly. Suffice to say, I closed on my condo about 2 weeks ago and so far happy being a first time homeowner!

ZillowVERIFIED True to Spencers brand as a tech-realtor, he is incredibly savvy with his use of technology to help streamline and expedite the process of our home sale. It only took less than a month to get our home ready for listing, and took less than a week to get a great offer for our condo. He also possess es a wealth of knowledge pertaining the Bay Area real estate market that helped us maximize the sales price without dragging out the process. His access to a wide network of competent professionals has made the process of getting the home ready for sale effortless and was able to maximize the appeal of our condo and mitigate its shortcomings. Spencer is an incredible realtor that I would highly recommend to anyone. Hes been patient and responsive with addressing my concerns and obstacles throughout and I had nothing but the best experience thanks to his help. Overall, he has exceeded all my expectations and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED After 26 wonderful years in our Redwood City home, and 35 in CA, we have relocated to the Boston area. One of the few things that made this transition easier was being able to sell in a boom with the help of a great realtor. Spencer Hsu was the perfect person to help shepherd us through the inspection, remodel/fix, and sale process. His network of inspectors, contractors, installers, and stagers were all top notch professionals who were reliable, affordable, and customer-oriented. His listing showcased our home beautifully and his marketing helped us get dozens of visitors in just one weekend. We accepted an awesome offer in 4 days and closed in less than 30 days. If you are looking to move, give Spencer a chance to make you very happy!

ZillowVERIFIED As a first-time homebuyer, I was really unprepared for what the buying process would look like and really lost. Spencer was an invaluable resource of knowledge and information so I could better prepare for steps along the way and close right on time. Some of the best parts of working with him: * Responsive -- super fast and quick to take action or answer questions* Knowledgeable -- provided a lot of insight and market comparisons of neighboring houses when making purchase decision* Respectful -- Spencer gives helpful advice but keeps the decision making in your hands* Insightful -- explains the controllable and uncontrollable factors / items you need to navigateWhile it could have been a super stressful experience, buying my first home was actually super fast and easy, compared to some stories I've heard from friends/family. Spencer was a great realtor because he was truly in our corner and asked a lot of questions about our goals and priorities to make sure we're doing what's best for all the parties involved.

ZillowVERIFIED We had a great experience working with Spencer. His Youtube channel was recommended to me through a friend, and I was intrigued by his data-driven approach to real estate. This was our first time purchasing a home, and Spencer was there throughout the whole process, working with us patiently and diligently. If he didnt know he answer to something, he always knew someone that did! He is unbelievably responsive, fielding our questions all hours of the day, and his instincts in regards to the Bay Area market were top notch! He was never pushy or biased during our house hunting process; letting us ask him questions instead. Although our closing process was a little tricky, through no fault of his, he was there every step of the way as a reassuring, and confident presence, and in the end, he went above and beyond to ensure that we were able to close on our home. Id highly recommend Spencer to anyone who asks. Thanks Spencer!

ZillowVERIFIED We had a great experience with Spencer. Communication was clear and very fast, even late in the night. His analytical approach and review of recent comparable sales helped us determine the right amount to offer and got us accepted on the first offer. He also helped us navigate the escrow period and lender discussions, enabling us to close ahead of schedule and prior to the holiday weekend. He also recommended a lender that got us the best rate out of a long list of lenders we were in contact with. We would be very happy to work with Spencer again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED We found Spencer through his YouTube channel and really liked his data-informed approach to real estate. He's knowledgeable about the market and was always super responsive any time we reached out with a question or request. He was very organized in coordinating viewing appointments for us and never failed to do debriefs and follow ups to make sure we were all aligned on what next steps we wanted to take. We appreciated that he never pushed us to make a decision or led with his opinion, letting us take the initiative and providing his thoughts when we asked. He made what we expected to be a grueling process so much easier and smoother than we thought, and I'd highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell homes to reach out to Spencer.

ZillowVERIFIED Let me start by saying that I usually don't write reviews but I was so pleased with Spencer's service that I felt obliged to. I'm truly lucky to have gotten in touch with Spencer as a real estate agent by chance. I was in talks with two other agents but in the end I chose Spencer. He helped me from start to finish with buying my very first home here in the bay area. He was able to explain the entire process, what to expect, things to look out for, and answer all my questions honestly from the moment we met. He did due diligence in finding and comparing various places I was interested in, assisted in coming up with a fair price through his research and experience, and arranged tours of the place with ease and proper requirements (considering the COVID situation). One of the things I appreciate most is his punctuality - being very responsive and able to get everything together super quick and in time for when I needed it, not to mention the ability to organize and communicate everything effectively. He was truly understanding in meeting my needs and was very thoughtful throughout the entire process. I'd recommend him to my closest friends and family and personally could not be more pleased with my experience with him.

His advice to us helped us greatly and we believe that thanks to him, we got one of the best houses we possibly could have! He is extremely professional, smart, quick, patient, friendly and well connected.

ZillowVERIFIED If you are looking to purchase or sell a home in the Bay Area, look no further than Spencer Hsu. From the very beginning, Spencer combined patience, knowledge and tech-savviness to help us learn about the Bay Area real estate market and narrow our choices.

There was one I wanted a second viewing of, so I asked Spencer set it up and he met me there the next day. That house ended up being the one! There were multiple bumps in the road during escrow, but Spencer was there to smooth things out and give updates as soon as he had news. I highly recommend Spencer to anyone interested in buying a home.

ZillowVERIFIED i had a terrible experience working with Spencer. He sounded very nice at first. After we toured a few houses together, he seemed to be very upset when I decided not to make an offer. The key reason is: he showed me houses at the higher end of my budget, so he can get higher commission, not the house that our family liked. When we reviewed all reports together, he tried to find the way to skip the red flag. After that, I tried to follow up with him a couple times, but he never replied. Not an honest agent to work with! Don't recommend! Don't waste your time

ZillowVERIFIED I was referred to Spencer as I was looking to move to San Jose. I emailed him and within minutes he called and texted me to set up a meet and greet via zoom. I did not know what to expect since its my first time looking for a home. Right when we hopped on the call, he was friendly and did a quick introduction. After that, he started to ask me questions about what I wanted to look for in a place. When I said didn't know, he actually clarifies his questions with examples to help me understand what I really want in a place. The first day was an aggressive day, we went to 6 different places to look. Out of the 6, I liked 2 of them and he provided more information about the properties. When I wanted to check a property again the next day, he said sure and met me there...then a couple of days later when my friend wanted to check out the property, he was there. Spencer works all hours of the night! I would get email updates from him late at night when we were in escrow just to ensure everything is going smooth. I would recommend using him if you need help buying a place. Thanks again Spencer!

We appreciated his honesty when discussing strategies for making offers and valued his opinion about the overall homebuying experience.

Any query or concern we had, he would respond very quickly. This helped us in making decisions faster. He would stand back and allow us to form our own opinions and make decisions. Other agents we worked in the past would try to influence our opinion in order to make a quick sale. He was also very organized in his approach. Overall, we recommend Spencer to anybody looking to buy a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Spencer is an experienced and passionate realtor in the SF Bay Area. If youre embarking on your house hunting journey in this area, reach out to Spencer and he will be the best business partner in one of your most important projects in your life. We are so grateful that our paths crossed Spencers aEUR" it was our first open house and Spencer (and our mortgage broker) took on us even though we were first time rookie buyers! It was quite the journey and we have swung between any kind of property at any location in the South Bay but Spencer always listened to our thoughts and priorities and made recommendations accordingly. Spencer always responds fast to any question and goes out of his way to make ends meet. We loved working with Spencer given his data driven approach on how to win the offer. Spencer helped us with anything and everything in the process of buying and we always felt very confident with his expertise on both the market factors as well as how to best execute the house buying process. I strongly believe that this data driven process and market expertise led us to save tens of thousands of dollars and got us closed below listing on the property we now live in. I cant emphasize what a world of difference his passion makes and that he always regards your best interest. To conclude, Spencer has our highest recommendation.

ZillowVERIFIED Spencer reached out to me over social media. I had been considering selling my condo and appreciated his initiative, so I set up an initial call. When the pandemic hit, I thought it was the right time to sell. Others advised me that trying to sell during a pandemic would be disaster and I should just sit and wait. I'm not risk adverse, so I was happy that Spencer was ready to make the leap with me! Short story...after pivoting to use virtual tools as much as possible, combined with Spencer hustling to accommodate private showings as soon as they became available (which we were well positioned to do since we acted early in the pandemic and now there was an inventory shortage), I received a full-ask offer within a couple of weeks. As I type this, the condo sale closed last week, and I've been investing my profits much to my benefit. To be honest, I haven't worked with many real estate agents as a seller, so I don't have a huge baseline for comparison. Based on my experience, here are the unvarnished pros and cons.Cons: Slightly more self scheduling/coordination for repair, cleaning, etc. than *I* expected. Again, this may be typical and I admit I lack experience with this part. Spencer definitely made the connections, and the actual effort on my part was minimal, so this isn't much of a con.Pros: Here's the good stuff! Spencer takes a more holistic approach both from an economics and social perspective, taking into account various factors affecting the market, and all avenues in making connections. He does his homework, he's aware of trends. He responds at all hours. He's highly motivated. He's tech savvy. He's willing to drive up and down the whole Bay area. He's super nice on top of it! In short, I highly recommend Spencer. I took a chance with him and don't regret it. Go ahead ahead and contact him, or at least check out his YouTube or join one of his virtual Happy Hours. I doubt you will regret it either. Happy house hunting/selling!

ZillowVERIFIED I had a great experience buying my first condo in the US thanks to Spencer. He was like the friend I needed that knew the ins and outs of real estate, listened to what I was looking for, and kept an eye out for me. I could reach him at any time to get his thoughts on places I was interested in.I mostly went to open houses myself, but when I found one I really liked, Spencer would arrange a private tour to talk about it in person. I decided to make an offer on the second condo that we toured and he guided me through the process. He provided comparables for a price reference and was honest when we discussed how much to bid, giving his thoughts on the competition without being pushy.While the first offer we made was not accepted, I ultimately was able to buy an even better place. I loved the layout and the views when I saw it online, but it was already in contract at that time. About a month later Spencer got wind that it had fallen out of contract and set me up with a virtual tour right away (due to coronavirus). I was going to make an offer for 10k above asking, but he advised me that we could win the bid at asking price. And he was right! Compared to the previous contract price, I got it for 50k less!The closing process was not as smooth as it could have been because of errors in the appraisal and delays in confirming the loan. Spencer helped to get those issues sorted out and in the end we got it done. Overall I'm very happy with how things turned out, and I would gladly recommend Spencer to my friends and family!

ZillowVERIFIED Spencer is detail and goal-oriented agent and can deliver things promptly. He helped us purchase our first home in Mountain View! It was very unexpected, and he made things possible. He even worked overtime to ensure well get our offer ready on the offer deadline day.From the day our offer was accepted, he showed us how hands-on agents should be. A timeline complete with assignments and things to do were given to us as well as the expected closing date.It was a long journey, but Spencer was always reachable. He offered us professional and honest feedback on everything we asked. He provided promising companies that can help us with our renovation.I will highly recommend Spencer. He gave us a spreadsheet with details on recently sold houses to provide us with information on how much we should pay. He was also never pushy about increasing our purchase price and respected the amount we were comfortable with.He is the man! Thank you, Spencer, for your outstanding service. Your exceptional work made everything possible. Good luck and our family wishes you the best! May you help many young families from here onwards.

He made the experience straightforward and stress-free. If a house seemed out of our price range, too competitive, or had any red flags, he was honest and let us know. There was never a lack of communication with him. He's very knowledgable about real estate and works really hard at any hour as needed (though we made sure not to bug him too early or late). We definitely recommend him for anyone who needs a real estate agent!

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I met Spencer right when we were beginning to get serious about buying a house, and we are so glad we did! Spencer was invaluable at each step in our process. First he took the time to educate us about each step in the process, helped us refine our search criteria, and taught us how to get alerted about properties we would be interested in. At times we would state an assumption and Spencer would patiently and respectfully provide a counter point and give us data to help us become more educated.Spencer is selfless with his time. Any time we needed something he was there. He also brings a high level of data and knowledge to help his clients make the best choices. Whether we were running comps, making strategic offers, or assessing a house, we always felt like we had an edge with Spencer.I would highly recommend Spencer for any real estate needs. He is an expert in this field, intelligent, good with people, and one of the hardest workers I have ever met.
