Finding my dream home in San Francisco felt almost impossible -- especially since I wasn't even actively in the market. But Kevin Choy changed everything. From the very beginning, Kevin took the time to truly listen and understand what would actually entice me to explore buying a home. He was thoughtful, patient, attentive, and incredibly intentional about every listing he sent my way. In such a tough and competitive market, that level of care and dedication is rare. And then... he absolutely nailed it. Today, I have the keys to my dream home in San Francisco, and I genuinely could not be happier. What makes Kevin even more special is that his commitment didn't end at closing. He took me out for a celebratory meal and gave me a beautiful housewarming gift -- gestures that perfectly reflect the kind of person he is. Kevin isn't just focused on making a living; he is focused on bringing joy, satisfaction, and real care to his clients. He works tirelessly to make sure people feel supported and happy throughout the entire process. I will be grateful for the rest of my days for working with Kevin and for helping me find a home I truly love. To say I recommend Kevin Choy would be a massive understatement. If you are looking for someone who is genuine, hardworking, caring, and relentless in helping you find the right home, Kevin is the person you want by your side.

Philip and his entire team truly went above and beyond to help us find our ideal (first!) home, and helped us seamlessly through our first closing. He was our trusted advisor and guide through the entire process and we wouldnt have made it through without his expert advice! Id recommend Philip to anyone and look forward to working with him on any of our future real estate needs. Thank you so much Philip!

Tracy helped us sell our home in Hiller Highlands, Oakland. After extensive searching for an agent, we decided to move forward with Tracy. What stood out to us right from the beginning was how well-organized and prepared she was. In our very first meeting, she came prepared with comps and other data that were extremely helpful in guiding our decisions. She was also incredibly responsive throughout the process. Once we decided to move forward, she lined up contractors to complete work on the house before listing. Despite a few unexpected challenges, she ensured our initial timeline was met. Her professional communication style made it seamless for us to have regular check-ins and stay fully in the loop. Overall, Tracy was wonderful to work with, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent.

I am writing to highly recommend Tracy Butler (Abio Properties) as a residential real estate agent. I had the pleasure of first meeting and working with Tracy in 2017 when she was the realtor for a house in the hills that I purchased. I was extremely impressed with Tracy and subsequently asked her to stage and sell my Oakland loft. And most recently to resell the house in the hills. Tracy went above and beyond to help the house sell and made it seamless for me especially as I spent much time out of town during this process. She worked hard and was involved in all aspects to getting the unique house sold. Tracy managed to find several interested parties and made the sale for me. Her professionalism, expertise, and dedication exceeded our expectations at every point. From our very first meeting, Tracy demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the local housing market. Her strategic pricing advice and sharp marketing skills were critical to the success of our transaction. Tracy is an exceptional communicator and kept me informed at every stage of the process, promptly answering questions and clearly explaining complex contract details. During negotiations, her calm demeanor and strong advocacy ensured our interests were fully protected. Beyond her professional competence, Tracy brings a warm, personable energy to her work. She handles the natural stresses of buying and selling a home with grace, making her clients feel supported and confident from listing to closing. I highly recommend Tracy Butler without reservation to anyone looking for a top-tier real estate professional. She is a dedicated advocate and a true asset to her clients.

Kevin was great at helping me find my new home. He went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and hes very knowledgeable about the local market. Great to work with, very warm and friendly!
