Ted Chen (CalBRE license #02017553) caught the entrepreneurial bug at an early age, buying packets of bubble gum and reselling individual units to his middle school classmates. He graduated to trading used computer parts and starting brick-and-mortar businesses as well as e-commerce computer stores. In the early to mid-2000's, Ted began providing custom web-based solutions and managed a multi-million dollar domain names portfolio (online real estate), then expanded into acquiring and operating an ICANN accredited registrar. Ted's experience in virtual real estate quickly translated into "real world" real estate! Ted decided to cut his teeth in real estate via ultra-competitive short-term transactions (flipping) and successfully completed several small to large flips. In 2016, Ted became a licensed realtor so that he can focus on his real estate passion full-time. Ted quickly became a top producer with almost $25 million dollars in transaction within 2 years with coverage around the Bay Area and beyond. Whether you want to buy a lot to build your dream home or do a total remodel of an existing home or flipping a property -- Ted and his team can handle everything from entitlement to construction to sales. Ted's team serves clients looking for experience in commercial real estate, luxury home sales, real estate development and remodel, and other real estate investments. Ted is fluent in English and Mandarin. Ted has lived in the Bay Area for 30 years. He currently lives in Fremont with his wife Phina (a full time rescue volunteer and PR coordinator for lovesecondchances.org), 2 children, and a German Shepherd named Bonnie. He is an avid USTA tennis player and has captained his team to local championships. Languages: English, Mandarin

We weren't just looking for an agent to show us houses; we needed someone who understood how to win. Teds strategic suggestions during the bidding process were the only reason we secured our home. He recognized a critical window and helped us submit an offer that was accepted just before a competing bid landed. By beating the competition to the punch, he saved us from a costly bidding war and likely tens of thousands of dollars.

Tramy was fantastic to work with from start to finish. As buyers in a competitive Bay Area market, we really appreciated her deep local knowledge, responsiveness, and calm guidance throughout the process. She helped us evaluate homes realistically, walked us through disclosures and inspections in a clear, practical way, and made sure we understood what truly mattered versus what didnt. We never felt rushed or pressured, and she was always available to answer questions and keep things moving smoothly. Tramy was organized, proactive, and a strong negotiator, and we always felt she had our best interests in mind. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone buying a home and would happily work with her again.

We could not be more pleased with our experience working with Ted. From start to finish, he was consistently responsive, attentive, and deeply engaged, keeping us informed and supported at every step of the process. His professionalism, expertise, and unwavering commitment were instrumental in helping us successfully purchase our home. Ted went above and beyond in every respect, and we truly could not have asked for a better agent.

Ted was an excellent agent who helped us tremendously with the sale of our house in Castro Valley. He was very patient, took the time to listen to our needs, and guided us through every step of the process. His professionalism and knowledge made the experience smooth and stress-free. We couldnt have asked for a better agent and highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
