Ann was an absolute lifesaver in selling our Menlo Park home under challenging circumstances. With road closures blocking access, a tight timeline, and my own emotional resistance to the move, she kept everything on track with professionalism and empathy. She handled every detail—scheduling repairs, staging, marketing, and managing offers—so I could focus on my family. Thanks to her strategy and upbeat attitude, we closed above asking and on time. We’re now happily settled in Canada, and I’m beyond grateful for Ann’s guidance through this transition. If you need a dedicated, results-driven realtor, Ann is the one!— Elise W., Seller
Ann is a five-star agent, and I highly recommend her for buying or selling in the Bay Area! We needed to sell our condo and buy a new home within a tight timeframe. Ann’s expertise, project management, and negotiation skills made it happen seamlessly. She provided a clear week-by-week plan, managed all pre-listing work, and secured top offers quickly. For our purchase, Ann coordinated contractor estimates, strategized on pricing, and negotiated successfully. Even after closing, she connected us with trusted contractors and helped save thousands on required repairs. Ann truly goes above and beyond—don’t hesitate to work with her!— Huilan P., Seller & Buyer
We found Ann on social media while interviewing other agents. What stood out was her responsiveness—she replied to my inquiry at midnight! After meeting her, we were convinced she was the right choice. Though she hadn’t worked in our area before, she confidently assured us, “My strategy works everywhere.” Her detailed presentation and market analysis proved just that. A week before listing, she re-evaluated pricing and adjusted based on market trends. Thanks to her expertise and marketing strategy, we sold for 12% over asking! Working with Ann was a fantastic experience—highly recommend!— Mimi V., Seller
We love Ann and highly recommend her for any real estate needs—you won’t be disappointed! As first-time buyers in the competitive Bay Area, we were overwhelmed, but Ann’s expertise and dedication made all the difference. She guided us through every step, answered endless questions, and never gave up, even after we lost out on a condo we loved. Determined to help, she uncovered an off-market opportunity in the same community and made it happen. From securing the deal to connecting us with reliable contractors, Ann was always there. Beyond a great agent, we’ve gained a lifelong friend!— Vikas M., Buyer
Ann is an awesome agent. She is very patient with every request and fulfill it as soon as she can and she is also very hardworking. She could help prepare the documents whenever you want, even at mid-night.— Y.J L., Buyer
We have nothing but praise and gratitude for Ann. As first-time buyers, Ann has been everything we could have hoped for: patient, responsive, detail-oriented, tireless. She has answered every question we've asked - no matter how mundane or basic - and continuously prepped us for what is coming ahead. Every step of the way, Ann made sure we had everything we needed and could put our best foot forward. We see Ann as a lifelong advisor and advocate - someone we can and will turn to, even years down the line - on anything related to our home. We unreservedly recommend Ann.— Michelle L., Buyer
My partner and I are first time homebuyers. Ann guided us from the beginning (even before we got pre-approved) to after the closing of our home. Ann knows all the right professionals and together they got us a great deal for our home! Even during the unprecedented Covid-19 situation, Ann was able to providing detailed information on home listings and ensure the safety of everyone.— Winnie Y., Buyer
Ann goes above and beyond! After 7+ failed bids with other agents, we found Ann through Yelp—and she was a game-changer. She listened, stayed proactive, and even toured homes for us while we were away. Her patience, smart strategies, and connections helped us secure our home and even lower our mortgage rate. Ann always put our interests first and surprised us with thoughtful housewarming gifts. She’s not just an agent—she’s our lifelong real estate partner!— Diane A., Buyer
Ann is an outstanding agent. She is professional, pragmatic and knowledgeable. Ann is an expert in market analysis, presentation of the optimal sales strategy, and she follows through on every promise. Also, she provides several perks most selling agents do not, including connections with budget friendly contractors and rebates on services needed in preparation for listing. Furthermore, she manages every step of the pre-listing, sales, and escrow process perfectly, and communicates the most relevant information in a timely manner. She also addresses any questions/concerns diligently and respectfully. If you are thinking of selling in the area, I hig...— Simon A., Seller
Ann was recommended to me by a friend that spoke of how easy Ann can make the moving process, and I have to say I was not disappointed! I moved across country, left my house in Ann's capable hands, and she took care of everything. From determining what work should be done on the home, to finding contractors, cleaning, staging, and the whole selling process, she took so much stress out of an already stressful move. Ann is very organized, communicative, and efficient. My house was in escrow within two weeks. Working with Ann, and her partner agent Perry, this process was a breeze. Thanks to you both!— Natalie B., Seller
I could have not asked for a better agent to work with. Selling during off peak season is not easy, especially with all the upcoming holidays towards the end of the year and our busy schedules. Ann have made the whole process easy and seamless for us from beginning to end. From remodeling the house to staging the home, Ann and her team knows what they're doing, providing us with a peace of mind. They are quick, efficient and responsive. I would totally recommend Ann and her team to all my friends.— Vivian Y., Seller

I highly recommend Ann as your real estate agent!— Tao Y., Buyer
Thoughtful, trustworthy, and experienced—Ann exceeded all our expectations in helping us secure a home. She took the time to understand our preferences, tracked our reactions to each property, and was always available to tour homes. Ann never pressured us and approached our ideas with open-mindedness. Thanks to her dedication, we found an incredible home at an unbelievable price. With another agent, we might have done well, but with Ann, we succeeded beyond our dreams.— Alex Z., Buyer
I highly recommend listing your property with Ann. Despite being a remote seller in NYC, she made the entire process seamless, handling everything from prep work to closing. Ann managed all renovations within budget, executed top-tier marketing, and expertly navigated multiple offers—even while I was in Europe. Her organization, communication, and expertise ensured a smooth 30-day escrow. Ann under-promises and over-delivers—I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again!— Kuan K., Seller

We were unsure about selling our former home after moving two hours away for better schools and more space. After renting it out for two years, we turned to Ann, knowing she was the right agent based on past experiences. Her team handled renovations, staging, and marketing, leading to multiple offers. Thanks to her negotiation skills, we secured a no-contingency offer 10%+ above asking. Ann is reliable, skilled, and highly recommended!— Sheena S., Seller
Ann is an amazing agent, and we highly recommend her! After a bad experience with our first agent, we were frustrated and worried.

Professional, friendly, and reliable—just like all her 5-star reviews say.— Esther L., Buyer

She was excellent in communication, time management and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Ann to anyone who's interested in the housing market.— Yuin C., Buyer
Ann Chang has been a trusted friend since she helped my parents buy their first condo in 2011. Seven years later, she guided my husband and me through purchasing our first home in Hayward. As a young couple with limited savings, we were anxious about buying in the competitive Bay Area market. Ann patiently helped us find the right home, navigating disclosures, inspections, and negotiations. Despite not being the highest offer, her expertise secured our dream home. She stayed on top of every detail, ensuring a smooth, early closing. I highly recommend Ann—she’s professional, kind, and truly looks out for her clients.— Yoyo L., Buyer

I confidently refer friends and family to her, knowing they’ll be in the best hands—even for car advice!— Art W., Buyer
Ann is a rare find—experienced, reliable, professional, and truly passionate about real estate. I first met her seven years ago when she was the agent for our landlord, and her dedication left a lasting impression. She went above and beyond, even responding after hours. When it was time to buy our first home, choosing Ann was a no-brainer. She’s not just our agent but a lifelong friend—I'm one of the lucky ones!— Diana M., Buyer
Ann Chang is the most exceptional agent I’ve worked with. She truly advocates for her clients rather than just closing deals. When I found a home I liked, Ann immediately contacted the listing agent, obtained disclosures, and spent an hour reviewing them with me to ensure an informed decision—unlike other agents who simply send documents to sign. She skillfully negotiated a fair price, ensured city requirements were met, and followed up on repairs. The process was seamless, giving us total peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful for her dedication!— Ming C., Buyer
Annie is super helpful, she listens to what you need and is great with other agents. The market is very competitive and Annie's relationships definitely helped us win our house. Will be calling Annie on all future real estate transactions.— Steve K., Buyer
I have a huge recommendation for Ann Chang. She helped me sell my condo in Daly City and helped me in buying condo in Burlingame. I couldn't have done it without her help. She is highly professional and thorough. She is not pushy. She offers help when I needed it. (and I needed a lot of help). Please consider Ann Chang for your real estate needs. Highly recommend .— Michael Y., Seller
I highly recommend Ann, especially for first-time buyers. Last year, I was lost, searching for a reliable local agent to help me find my home and guide me through the intimidating buying process. A colleague recommended Ann after hearing my priorities—finding a home with specific charm in a particular neighborhood within my budget. From day one, Ann answered my questions, understood my needs, and mapped out a strategy. My search took eight months, and she was there every step of the way—never pushing, always keeping me objective. I'm thrilled with my home and grateful for the smooth, educational, and even enjoyable process with Ann!— Helen K., Buyer
We'd highly recommend Ann to anyone looking to sell a property on the Peninsula. Ann was our listing agent. As a first time seller, we received a lot of guidance and handholding. She was extremely patient and tirelessly answered our many questions. The contractors she introduced us to were professional and finished on time, on budget and as promised. Ann provided weekly updates and kept us informed on the latest. Overall, the process was smooth. We couldn't have asked for a better agent and a partner in selling our place. Thank you Ann.— Judy L., Seller
Ann has been our go-to Bay Area realtor for years. She helped my husband buy our first Burlingame home at the lowest price among multiple offers by building a strong rapport with the sellers. When we later sold, she guided our renovations, hosted private showings, and sold it in less than a week—well over asking—despite a tough market. She even helped us buy in Sonoma County, making multiple trips and negotiating below asking when other homes sold above. Ann’s charm, confidence, and dedication make buying and selling seamless. She follows up, never rushes, and truly puts her clients first. Highly recommend!— Juliana M., Buyer & Seller
I rarely write reviews, but Ann Chang truly deserves this. She helped us buy and sell our homes last year with professionalism, expertise, and dedication. Despite breaking three ribs just before our first open house, she ensured everything ran smoothly, arranging coverage and managing our sale from bed—ultimately selling our home for $400K over asking. Ann’s network of top-notch professionals made the process seamless. Huge thanks to Ann and her team!— Dave L., Seller & Buyer

Ann is terrific! She is reliable, communicative, knowledgeable about the market with sound advice when it comes to the negotiating table. She helped my mom sell her townhome and since we were in the middle of moving my parents in to live with us, we pretty much did the entire sale process remotely with Ann's assistance. Could not have asked for a better experience! A bonus that she speaks Chinese, making it easier for my mother.— Sylvia I., Seller

Everything that could go wrong with our loan did go wrong, but she was there every step of the way. Referring us to a another lender. Always there reassuring us that things will get done. And it did!!! Ann is not our realtor but a family friend who is always there. I can't say the right words to describe her. She simply the best. Thank you Ann! God bless .— Raul C., Buyer

Annie changed our lives in countless ways. We met by chance in 2008 when she was showing a neighbor’s home, and she convinced us we were ready to buy our first house. Fourteen years later, when we needed to sell quickly to care for my aging parents, Annie once again guided us through an overwhelming transition. With her support, we tackled every detail—packing, staging, and selling—making what felt impossible, possible. Annie isn’t just a real estate agent; she’s a true full-service professional who goes above and beyond. We couldn’t have done it without her!— Jennifer H., Seller
