Kalok is so knowledgeable and is always a pleasure to work with! We worked with her recently on the sale of our previous house and the purchase of our new home. She got it all done for us in 4 months in this market! She explained the process clearly to us ,held our hands when needed, and worked tirelessly around our schedule. During the sale of our first home, we encountered couple of road bumps (caused by things out of her control) and she led us through the stressful time seamlessly. Her experience in this field really shined through and even when she didn't know the answer, she had an abundance amount of resources and a wide network she leaned on...— law karina
Kalok was perfect from the start. When we met for our consultation, she jotted down notes for things we were looking for, our budget, and set us on our way to begin the process. We went to private showings with her and it really takes away the hustle and bustle of a regular open house. Her experience throughout the process really proved that she is the only agent (buying/listing) that I will ever work with. I put my trust in her process and we were able to buy a home within 2 months. I'm saying from house hunting to living in! Two freaking months! She really looks out for her clients and takes care of them well. Very responsive, knowledgeable, court...— MonicaKoen
Kalok is everything you want in a real estate agent: 1. An expert in her field: With over 10 years in the business, it is clear she knows her trade through and through. Not only does she know about homes and their value, she is extremely well versed in home construction 2. Detail oriented: She is meticulous in everything she does and examines everything with a fine tooth comb, whether you're at an open house or signing the papers 3. Patient: Especially for first home buyers like us, she patiently answered all our questions (multiple times) and made sure that we understood everything we were getting into 4. Available: In San Francisco, things move FA...— nanette wong
If you want a realtor that goes above and beyond, Kalok is it! Buying a house is very exciting and can be daunting at the same time. That is why it is important to have someone who is personable, professional and has an extensive network to get things done. Did I mention she found our dream home in two months!?!? At our first meeting, Kalok thoroughly walked us through the market trends, forecast and buying process. We gave her a list of requirements and asked how long she thinks we will find our house. She said in a few months. I was a bit skeptical because it took us over a year to be at our current house with multiple offers. Through this process...— user96357080
Resilient real estate leader, dedicated, knowledgeable, intentional, resourceful, thorough, strong grit, and patient are a few of the many incredible traits that comes to mind when I think about Kalok. Being a first time home buyer was scary but with Kalok, we felt like we became subject matter experts in real estate after working with her as our agent. Kalok is extremely knowledgeable about the market, home-buying, the mortgage process and anything/everything that has to do with homeownership. On top of that, Kalok's work ethics, ability to strongly represent her clients, and professionalism in working with other agents - truly sets her apart in he...— zuser20170402201220525
Kalok is the BEST real estate agent you will find. She is patient and professional. She found us the house of our dreams. She worked tirelessly for us and accommodated to our work schedules. We could not have asked for more. In addition, she provided us with a lot of great advice and information that were helpful to us.— junk20158vr0cei
I was refereed to Kalok and I couldn’t be happier with her services. Kalok knows the business very well and she has a lot of experience. She is extremely hard working and very efficient. She always went the extra mile and provided detailed information on the properties that we inquired about. I didn’t feel rushed or obligated at any point - you keep looking until you find the right place. Kalok helps you to negotiate the price and does not hesitate to give you an honest opinion if she feels that you are paying too much or getting yourself in trouble. She was always available whenever I had a question and she responded promptly to all them within hou...— user456987321
Kalok was an unbelievable agent and we were so grateful for her help throughout our search. We found an amazing home in Moraga and Kalok helped us through every step of the way. Moreover, with the market so competitive, we had tight turnarounds which resulted in Kalok working extra diligently to ensure we had all of our paperwork in place. As first time homeowners, Kalok gave us all the information that we needed to be informed buyers. She's super knowledgeable, had connections to the right contractors/handymen, and was super thorough in ensuring our escrow completed with no hitches. Moreover, she also gave us the honest assessment of homes, ensurin...— Kai Lo
Buying my first home was such a great experience thanks to Kalok! She was professional, very down to earth and patiently guided me through every step of the way. Kalok explained everything in a way that was easy to understand from the initial walkthrough of the end to end process to making the offer and finally working with the lender to secure the loan. The market is really crazy right now with homes being sold within days of being listed. Initially I was looking in the peninsula area but in the middle of my home searching process I decided to search int he east bay instead. This did not deter Kalok as she was determined to find me the perfect star...— JLW8
I had an amazing experience working with Kalok on my purchase and cannot recommend her enough. When I first began my homebuying journey I spoke with a couple other realtors before meeting Kalok, and my understanding from those conversations was that I would perform my own search and my agent would help when I had questions or was ready to make an offer. When I met Kalok she made it clear that we would be going on the journey together, and that was absolutely what I needed purchasing my first home. She provided partnership and support every step of the way. Kalok always had advice and answers, but managed to push me to decide what I wanted. She coord...— allisonkookoo
If you're looking for an agent, look no further -- Kalok Law is literally the BEST! My partner and I found Kalok through a mutual friend/referral and she helped us find and purchase our dream home. This was our first home buying experience in the Bay Area. Kalok was extremely helpful, patient, responsive, friendly, and knowledgable throughout the entire process. She accompanied us on multiple property tours and gave us valuable insight on what to look for in a quality home. She was always available via text/email/phone call to answer any of our questions and would always make time to check out properties with us (even if it was a last minute request...— Amy Tang
Our housing purchase journey with Kalok started over three years ago, and she was the perfect agent for us throughout the entire process! She is patient, flexible, detail oriented, knowledgeable, hard working and prompt. She always provided her honest assessment of each property, a reasonable range of what she thought it was worth, and NEVER pressured us to make a bid that we were uncomfortable with. We looked at homes throughout the peninsula from South San Francisco all the way down to San Jose. During the whole process (particularly during the pandemic), she scheduled private visits to homes and personally guided us through pointing out things to...— Adrian C
If you're looking for a committed, genuine, and extremely patient realtor, look no further! Kalok is the only reason my husband and I were able to find the perfect condo in SF (let alone in this crazy real estate market) within 3 months of starting our search. From the get-go, she promised she would be involved and dedicated but not at all pushy, and she stayed true to her word throughout our journey. She was extremely responsive (even during late nights and weekends) to our questions and anxieties, and even toured properties all over SF and Oakland with us at short notice. We always felt like we were a top priority to her. As a first-time buyer, sh...— Anna Moran
Kalok is an absolute gem! In this crazy market, as a buyer you need an agent who has your back. She’ll be there to guide you through the entire process and so attentive. Of course she has a lot of clients but she’s so responsive and hands on you’ll feel as if you’re the only client. It’s so important to have an agent who understands your needs and not be pushy. She was a great source of comfort when someone else is always constantly outbidding your offer. I would not have been able to find a home within two months of searching without her. Thank you Kalok!— theresam34
Kalok is knowledgable, responsive, detail-oriented, thorough, and incredibly thoughtful and kind. If you are looking to buy or sell a new home, we can't recommend her highly enough. We heard rave reviews about Kalok from a family member who had outstanding experiences with her in two home purchases over the years. While we were considering a move from a condo to a single-family home, we weren't in a time crunch and only wanted to buy if it was the right fit. Kalok listened carefully to the things we were looking for, shared links to listings (and heads-ups on properties that hadn't been listed yet), and joined us at countless open houses and private...— charinac
My wife and I worked with Kalok for over 2 years as first-time homebuyers. Kalok was extremely patient with us from day one. Through all the dozens upon dozens of viewings all around the Bay Area, even when we weren't quite sure what we wanted, Kalok helped us understand the complex and competitive Bay Area market to the point where we felt completely comfortable and confident in our eventual purchasing decision because we had so thoroughly vetted all of our options and understood what we wanted. Kalok's attention to detail is second to none and she helped us calmly navigate the intricacies of the homebuying process as if we had done it many times b...— Robert C
I had the pleasure of working with Kalok who went above and beyond to assist me in closing on my first real estate purchase. Throughout the entire process, her qualities of patience, approachability, and diligence made my real estate-buying journey a smooth and enjoyable one! From our first meeting, she provided me guidance and knowledge on the entire buying process. She answered every rookie question I asked and I had a lot! During the search for a condo, she genuinely listened to what I wanted and needed and was never pushy. She thoroughly screens every property that fit my criteria before viewing and provided valuable insight. When I found a cond...— Andrew Lui
I had the pleasure of working with Kalok as a first time buyer after she helped a family member of mine purchase their first home. Knowing how stressful and confusing the process is for a first time buyer, Kalok sat down with me and gave me a very detailed understanding of how to process works from start to finish and explained it in a way that I will understand. I gave Kalok very specific lists of my needs and wants and expected that I would need to sacrifice some of my wants to stay within my price range. We looked at several homes over the span of about three months and before viewing each home Kalok took the time to research every home, includin...— Isaac Hayes
My family interviewed a few top local agents and decided to work with Kalok. She took care of everything from start to finish and ultimately guided us to make the best decision for out family.— ChanCarrie
I've had the pleasure of working with Kalok for multiple real estate deals from helping my family find our first home to getting investment properties, our journey with Kalok has been amazing. Kalok is always professional and patient and guides us through the real estate process calmly. Kalok's experience has been a big advantage. Her negotiation skills have gotten us great deals and have gotten us out of tough situations more than once from misleading listings to contractual issues. Kalok also has a vast network of connections. Whenever we needed help from lenders, brokers and contractors Kalok was able to connect us with someone reliable and that'...— collinyu
My fiancé and I are so lucky to have had Kalok as our agent for our first house! We will forever be grateful and appreciative for this journey that we embarked on together. Kalok was referred to us from a close friend of ours who also highly recommended her skills and expertise. From the moment we had our first consultation phone call, Kalok was very approachable and very attentive to our needs and recognized that we would need a lot of assistance as we were first time home buyers. Throughout the process, Kalok remained patient and answered ALL of our questions no matter how silly they were. What made this experience smooth was Kalok’s responsivenes...— tgee61911

We’ll start at the beginning. We set aside a morning one weekend to discuss with Kalok the move we were hoping to make into a new home in Castro Valley. She got me up to speed on how everything works and all the different scenarios that could play out. I am a man of one million questions and throughout this entire process I have always gotten an email or a call back very promptly with an answer. We went to several open houses/showings and the first thing I noticed was Kalok’s ability to really work around our schedules to make scheduling work. Her willingness to drive out to us for a single house showing is what I would call dedication. At each show...— Anthony L. & Molly D.
Melanie Leung and Kalok Law recently helped us list and close the sale of the first property we’ve ever owned. As first-time sellers, we were not sure what to expect but from beginning to end, the process was extremely smooth and we really couldn’t have had a more positive experience. After talking with another “bigger-name, well-known” brokerage house, we ultimately decided to list with Sequoia. Beyond the exemplary demonstration of the local and area market, we felt that Melanie and Kalok just worked harder for our business, and that would carry through in the selling process.We were not disappointed. Several open houses, many private showings, an...— Cory & Theresa C.
Kalok was heaven sent! She deserves more than 5 stars! From beginning to end, she was always communicating with us about the whole process. That helped to alleviate any worries on our part. Our whole process went fast. I found the house on a Wednesday evening (around 11pm) and it was Off Market, but was about to be available in a week. Kalok had just arrived in Chicago that day for vacation. I still contacted her about this home and she said she would call the listing agent in the morning to get info. Thursday morning, Kalok got back to me, so my husband and I saw the house that day, made an offer that night, and by Saturday before Kalok’s trip was ...— Natalie Y.
My wife and I just bought our first home. We interviewed and worked with a few “more experienced” real estate agents and were very disappointed… until we met Kalok, who was recommended by a friend. At first, I have to admit, we also thought that her youth could be paired with inexperience. But here we are today, closed and happy to be so, in less than 3 months from start to end. That’s pretty short, knowing that other friends and colleagues did take from 6 months to a year to find a home. We also have busy lives and our schedules are pretty eclectic but Kalok worked around us each time. She answered all of our questions and would seek answers from k...— Alexandre K.

We both couldn’t have purchased our first home without Kalok’s help. In the future if we want to purchase another home or sell our current home we will definitely be going back to Kalok for assistance again without a doubt. Being a first time home buyer we had a lot of questions and concerns, naturally. But Kalok and her team are awesome in clarifying, breaking down step by step, the process of home buying. And now we are homeowners! She worked around our schedules – even when I would be stuck doing overtime at work! She would still be available to see a house with us that we wanted to check out. We looked a various locations and price points, and s...— Jobelle C. & Jonathan J.
Upon meeting Kalok I instantly knew she was going to be my real estate agent. Her communication, professionalism and dedication is the best I have ever experienced. I love the time outlines and objectives that she would email us. I never felt lost during the process (which we all know can be stressful sometimes). At anytime that I had a question or didn’t understand something in the process, she never hesitated to explain it to me until it made sense. I admire her ability to be able to do that. It’s a talent not many posses. Kalok, treated and made us feel like we were the most important clients in the world and always looked out for us. She makes t...— Manuel S.
The perfect experience", is all I can say initially. Kalok was able to provide great advice on what I needed to do to market my house to the best that it can be. She also, along with colisting agent, Eileen Chau, was able to pick the perfect price point for listing my property. From there on it was as smooth as butter for the rest of the transaction. We received 21 offers on the house and Kalok was able to work the negotiations with the top 6. She did a stellar job getting in contract with the best offer. All together with the updates and all, I couldn’t have asked for a perfect agent. If you have the opportunity to work with her, take it and know t...— Perry & Sophia K.
As first-time home buyers, we were concerned about proper knowledge and what had to be done at each step of the way. After expressing our concern, Kalok took extra care to ensure that we had all of the information we needed to feel calm and comfortable throughout the entire process. She was patient with us and very responsive to our never-ending questions, even when we asked some of them twice! Our feedback was welcomed and Kalok’s above-and-beyond efforts were more than relieving. She made sure we were well taken care of from start to finish. Needless to say, we couldn’t have closed within thirty days without her!— Patrick L.
As first-time sellers, my husband and I are fortunate to have Kalok and Kelvin as our agents. They were very patient in answering our endless questions and always provided the rationale for any decision making, which put us completely at ease. Their dependability, one-step-ahead attitude and expert negotiation skills left us worry free during the whole process and even got us a higher sales price. In addition, we loved the complimentary staging service they offered! We would definitely recommend them and their team to anyone looking a dedicated and efficient real estate team.— Kyong K.
Kalok was truly a godsend for us during our first home buying experience. We had a million questions and she answered them all in a friendly and thorough manner. She was constantly in contact with us with new listings and she was always available to help us through every part of the home buying process, no matter how big or how small. Finally, as she helped us navigate to the end of an arduous journey, she retained the same level of enthusiasm, professionalism and follow through that she had on day one. She’s a great agent and we were lucky to have her.— David W.
I recently had to relocate to the Bay Area for work from Hong Kong and looking for the right house for my family with a language barrier was a daunting task. Finding the right Realtor was even more stressful. We were very lucky to have found Kalok who was a referral from a friend. She is super patient, reachable and resourceful. She negotiated even the smallest requests for us and managed to close escrow in 15 days during the Holiday season. I would definitely inquire her service again when we decide to sell or buy again.— Michael L.
Cindy was referred to us by a friend who had bought a home with her. We can’t think of ever buying a home with anyone else, she has won a customer for life. If you want to feel supported and confident through the buying process, then choose Cindy! She was always responsive, never pushy, and patiently answered all of our silly questions. She kept us from overbidding and was by our side every step of the way. Cindy went above and beyond our expectations, and we truly feel lucky to have been referred to her.— Jennifer C.
Selling our first home in California had many challenging moments. Kalok always gave us the information we needed to know to help us through those challenges. We are so lucky to have an the opportunity to work with her. She eased our uncertainty with a good amount of reassuring and problem solving. She is excellent at her job. Kalok, thank you over and over again for all you have done for us through this sale. We could not be happier with the end result.— Gail G. & William Y.
Kalok navigated us through a very tough and competitive San Francisco market. She always bounced back and followed up. Kalok persisted and never left us hanging.— Peter & Yvonne T.
