ReviewTed and his team did a great job in preparing the house and negotiating a good price to sell our house. Even after we moved out of town, they took good care of the house and we got an offer within a week of going on market. It was a smooth sale. Thank you.

Review Ted Chen is an exceptional real estate agent, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. As a first-time home buyer, I came into the process with a lot of questions, uncertainty, and nerves. From the very beginning, Ted made me feel comfortable, informed, and supported. He was patient, responsive, and always willing to take the time to explain each step so I knew exactly what to expect. What truly sets Ted apart is his hands-on, personal approach. He is not pushy at all, and you never feel like he is trying to rush you into making a decision. Instead, he listens carefully, understands what matters most to you, and genuinely wants to help you find the right home. Throughout the entire process, I always felt like Ted was on my side and had my best interests at heart. Ted helped me find the home of my dreams, and I am so grateful for his guidance and dedication. He was there for everything aEUR" from touring homes and answering questions to offering honest advice and helping me feel confident in my decisions. His knowledge, professionalism, and calm presence made what could have been a stressful experience feel exciting and manageable. More than just a realtor, Ted became a trusted friend throughout the journey. He brings a level of care, integrity, and personal touch that is hard to find. Anyone looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, honest, patient, and truly committed to their clients would be incredibly lucky to work with Ted.

Review Ted was an excellent listing agent and helped us successfully sell our home through a much more complicated process than expected. He was responsive, calm, practical, and solution-oriented from start to finish. Our sale had several moving pieces, including negotiations, buyer-side uncertainty, HOA/documentation questions, lender follow-ups, escrow coordination, and last-minute closing details, and Ted handled everything with professionalism and patience. We really appreciated his steady guidance and commitment throughout the process. He helped us understand our options, kept things moving, and got us to a successful closing. I would highly recommend Ted to any seller looking for an experienced, trustworthy, and dedicated agent.

Review 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.

Review had the pleasure of working with Ted Chen during my recent home-buying journey, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From our very first meeting, it was clear that he was committed to understanding my needs and finding the perfect home for me. My requirements were quite specific, and finding a house that met them was very challenging. Ted demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the local market and guided me through every step of the process. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and provided invaluable advice that made a significant difference. One of Ted's standout qualities is his unwavering trustworthiness. From the very first interaction, it was evident that I could rely on him for honest advice and genuine support. In an industry where transparency can sometimes be lacking, Ted consistently prioritized my best interests. He took the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of the buying process, ensuring I was well-informed and comfortable with each decision. Whenever I had questions or concerns, Ted was always available and willing to provide thoughtful, straightforward answersaEUR"even after I purchased the house! This open line of communication fostered a sense of trust that made me feel confident in every step we took together. Additionally, Ted demonstrated a strong ethical compass, never pushing me to make decisions I wasnt ready for or to compromise on my needs. He was patient and understanding, always respecting my budget and preferences, and helping me navigate any challenges with integrity. In a highly competitive market where emotions often run high, I appreciated how Ted kept my best interests at heart. His honesty and commitment to finding the right home for me were evident throughout the process. I always felt like I had a partner who genuinely cared about my success, making it easy to trust his judgment and guidance. One of the most remarkable aspects of my experience with Ted was how instrumental he was during the competitive bidding process. He expertly crafted my offer to highlight my strengths as a buyer, ensuring we stood out in a crowded field. Ted was strategic and proactive, analyzing the market and the sellers needs to create compelling proposals. Ted negotiated tirelessly on my behalf, advocating for my interests and pushing to secure the best possible terms. His confidence and expertise were reassuring, and thanks to his efforts, we ultimately secured the house that I had set my heart on. I couldnt have asked for a better advocate in such a competitive environment!

He promptly answered calls and emails, keeping us informed about every development. His ability to clearly explain complex contract details was particularly helpful. He stood out with his personalized approach. He took the time to understand our preferences and lifestyle finding us perfect home matching our wishlist. We were impressed by Ted's leadership & negotiation skills. He managed to lower the asking price significantly, saving us thousands. His strategy during the negotiation phase was impressive, as he leveraged his market knowledge to our advantage. His professionalism was consistent. He is always on time for appointments and provided reliable advice. His reliability was crucial during the closing stages, ensuring a smooth final transaction. We value Ted's patience as educated us about each step, from mortgage pre-approval to closing. His guidance in understanding the mortgage process was particularly helpful. He stood with us in all our decisions as a family member and gave fruitful inputs and we are blessed to have him. Ted's top-notch professionalism and dedication made us find our first ever New home.

Review Our experience with Ted was phenomenal. As first time home buyers, we were daunted by the Bay Area real estate market, but Ted walked us through every step of the process while providing helpful advice along the way. After touring some homes, my wife and I really fell in love with one- but due to our busy work schedules we couldn't see it at the same time. Ted graciously visited the home with us three different times, working around our schedules without complaint, and helped advise us on the best strategies for our offer. He was very responsive to our questions at all times of day. Our offer was accepted and we moved in to a beautiful new home! I highly recommend his services!

Review Ted helped my parent's sell their home in Tracy and purchase a new home in the Bay Area under a limiting budget due to this market and closing deadlines. Not enough words to express our gratitude with his unrelenting patience and integrity. Integrity seems to be rare in people now days. Alongside the value judgement, he is knowledgeable about the real estate market, as well as knowledgeable about seller and buyer needs. This makes him an expert negotiator in bringing together distinct demands for a mutually beneficial situation. He was awesome, kind, and patient, thorough, helpful and made a challenging situation as smooth as possible at times when this market was making it exasperating for us. Thank you Ted for explaining the process and staying positive throughout everything!

Review Ted kept up an impressive level of responsiveness throughout my search process. He got back to me quickly whenever I had a question, both when he could answer himself and when he had to get the answer from a seller. The dollar values he gave me for any questions matched what I saw of the market and what I heard from other people. I came away satisfied with the buying process and my experience working with Ted.

Review After Ted helped us secure a business for our Banh Mi & Rolls Factory in Berkeley, we reached out to Ted again to pursue a single family investment property. As always, Ted was responsive to our questions and prompt with our requests. He guided us through each step of the investment decision and gave us solid advice. Ted never pressured us to do what we were not ready or comfortable with. We will continue to expand our business, and we will continue to include Ted as a valuable advisor in our investment purchases.

Review If you think being a first time home buyer is difficult, try being a first time home buyer in the Bay Area during the Covid pandemic: that's a whole new level of "Difficult". Ted knew we wanted to purchase our first home, but our indecisiveness, different work locations, budget, etc. kept getting in the way. With Ted's guidance, we expanded our scope beyond single family homes, gained candid insight on the housing market, the crazy bidding wars, and evaluated recommendations based on Ted's careful observations of our personalities and reactions to multiple open houses. Numerous visits later, we put down a reservation deposit for a condo community: this was a brand new unit that we really loved and was too good to pass up. But we were still in the infant stages of shopping for a new home. We wanted to see more SFH/townhouses/etc. (FOMO obviously...) before our deposit expired - to which gave us ONE remaining weekend. Ted scheduled a whole day of showings around the Bay Area so we could make sure we were making the right choice. Ted truly went above and beyond. He made us his priority, knowing we had limited time to decide. A big "Thank You" to Ted for accompanying us to the community every time - even though he didn't need to - to give us his input on pricing, location, and investment value. Housing markets can be overwhelming given the current situation: no one really knows when the market is going to "cool off'' or where it is going next. We learned that "Time In the Market is Better than Timing the Market"! If you're curious about what real estate options are out there, or just want to explore home opportunities, do not hesitate to reach out to Ted. We highly recommend Ted!

Review We worked with Ted Chen to purchase our home in California. Ted was incredibly helpful not only in finding us houses that suited our needs/wishes, but also in guiding us through the process and taking care of the many details in purchasing a home. He was always available (thanks for your flexibility and understanding!) and courteous, professional and efficient. He also provided good insight into the features of the homes we viewed and was concerned about our satisfaction with the home, not just making a sale. He was able to secure our home with a good price and great terms. In addition, he assisted with financing through his network of professionals. Talk about above and beyond! In summary, Ted is a fine example of the kind of realty professional you WANT to work with...you will not be disappointed. We will certainly work with Ted for our future needs and we HIGHLY recommend him WITHOUT RESERVATION. Thanks for all you have done for us, Ted!

Review Ted was quick, responsive and was able to multitask. All these were 3 very important things when it comes to making the right initial offer. The fact that we only offered once goes to show communication was very efficient. He was also helpful in providing advice and contacts about other support services that you need when buying a home. With all agents you need to be upfront about your expectations and that applies here as well. Overall i would recommend Ted and wouldn't hesitate to reuse him when needed.

Review Great job ??Ted Chen from the Alux Group is one of a kind. He is not only a realtor whom is seeking only for $$$ but whom is a man with integrity who cares for the peace of mind of the seller. I can say this because he did it for us. He has this fire and commitment to exceed your expectation. The best attributes is that he is very attentive to what you want and helps you get it done. No one is perfect, our situation was a nightmare with so many obstacles for a sale- but a fighter never gives up. Ted Chen also does commercial lease and real estate. Could he be lucky? Lucky or not he was able to find a solid buyer for my Salsa Picante Fremont in less than 5 days of listing.Today marks a day of well deserve achievement. Thank you Ted!

Review We decided to start looking for a house, and because we were only available on the weekends and wanted to get started right away - we just went with who Redfin recommended for us - Ted Chen. I was skeptical at first since I didn't get to do any research on his work and he wasn't referred to us by anyone, but Ted went above and beyond my expectations. We let him know that we wanted to see ~10 house, and he was able to make that happen all in one day, with less than 24 hour notice. Since we didn't know what we were really looking for, what location, etc.. we wanted to squeeze as much as possible on a weekend, and Ted was amazing at managing time and documents that needs to be sign (due to the pandemic - you need to sign a form before visiting each house). He was very patient with us (first time home-buyers).Ted was honest from the beginning on being realistic with prices and pros/cons with certain homes - truly appreciate that. If you're looking for someone who is 110% responsive, patient, and is on top of their game with all the documents - don't look further.

Review Ted helped me purchase my townhouse from a new home builder. He spared no effort in contacting all the new home builders in the area and going with me to talk to the sales people. He helped me with the sales and options selection process as well as being there during the final walk through to address any defects that needs to be fixed prior to moving in. Ted is very hard working extremely diligent in doing his research, his follow ups, and takes the time to solve any issues that come up. He also has many contacts to give me the best selection for the loans so I can get options. Ted was instrumental in helping me get a great house in this tough environment.

We also had many unexpected challenges during our purchase and Ted helped expertly navigate those issues with calm and candor. Ted and his teams expertise, in-depth knowledge of the real estate market (both residential and commercial) are unparalleled and invaluable, especially in a market as competitive as the Bay Area and the surrounding areas.Ted is very professional and personable, from the start to the end, and he is always prompt to answer our concerns, from 5am in the morning till midnight (LOL)! Being first time commercial real estate buyer and not knowing much about the process and what comes after, this has been extremely helpful. In short, he is the best and we would recommend him to anyone.
