REALTOR ASSOCIATE®

Tell us about your journey to real estate.

My journey into real estate began when I joined a mentorship program called Springboard to Wealth, founded by Thach Nguyen. This program is designed to help individuals move closer to financial freedom and build generational wealth through real estate ownership.

At the time, I was working a 9-to-5 corporate job at Apple, but I felt unfulfilled and believed I was meant for more. After four years, I realized that staying in the corporate world wasn’t helping me achieve my goals at the pace I desired. That’s when I made the decision to leave and pursue real estate full-time.

I became a real estate agent to open new opportunities for myself, both in terms of income potential and personal growth. I wanted to learn how to list properties, represent buyers, and truly make an impact on my clients’ lives.


How long have you been in the real estate industry?    

I entered the real estate industry in 2023, and since then, I’ve gained extensive knowledge and experience in various aspects of the field. I’ve learned about real estate investing, private money lending, conventional loans, project management, and construction. These skills, combined with becoming a licensed realtor, have equipped me with a well-rounded understanding of the industry. I am continually expanding my expertise to better serve my clients and help them achieve their real estate goals, whether it’s through buying, selling, or investing in property.


If you are new to real estate, does anything from your previous job help you as an agent?

In my previous roles in the retail and restaurant industries, I developed essential skills that have proven invaluable in my real estate career. These positions allowed me to build strong customer service and interpersonal skills. I learned how to establish and maintain professional relationships, listen attentively to clients’ needs, and offer tailored solutions to meet those needs.

Additionally, I honed my ability to exhibit empathy and patience, ensuring that every guest or client feels valued and understood. These experiences taught me the importance of delivering exceptional service, which I now apply to helping clients navigate the often-complex process of buying or selling a home. My focus on providing an enriched and positive experience for every person I work with has been a cornerstone of my success as a real estate agent.


Which areas do you focus on?

I specialize in single-family homes, multi-family properties, and fixer-uppers. These areas of real estate are where I have developed the most expertise, allowing me to provide valuable insights and guidance to my clients. I focus on helping individuals and families find homes that meet their needs, whether they’re purchasing their first home, upgrading, or looking for investment opportunities.


Do you specialize in a specific city or cities?  

 I specialize in real estate in San Jose, California, where I’ve lived my entire life. Having grown up in San Jose, I have a deep understanding of the local culture, neighborhoods, and community dynamics. This extensive local knowledge allows me to provide clients with valuable insights into the area, whether they’re looking for a home in a specific neighborhood, interested in school districts, or seeking investment opportunities in up-and-coming parts of the city. My goal is to leverage my deep-rooted connection to San Jose to ensure that my clients find the perfect property that suits their lifestyle and goals.


What most excites you about your work?    

What excites me most about my work is the opportunity to help individuals and families find their dream homes, which ultimately plays a significant role in building their future. I take great pride in establishing trust and cultivating professional relationships with my clients, as these connections are fundamental to understanding their unique needs and aspirations.

Additionally, I enjoy engaging with other professionals in the real estate industry and learning from their experiences. Conversations with investors about their journeys in real estate provide invaluable insights and inspire me to think creatively and strategically.

Most importantly, being an independent real estate agent allows me to run my own business, which gives me a profound sense of purpose and intention. This autonomy motivates me to strive for excellence, continuously improving my skills and knowledge to become the best version of myself while providing exceptional service to my clients.


What are three words your clients would use to describe you?    

The three words my clients would use to describe me are relentless, disciplined, and determined. I am committed to achieving their goals and ensuring their success, consistently putting in the effort required to navigate the complexities of real estate with unwavering focus.


WHAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT FROM OTHER AGENTS?   

When choosing a real estate agent, my clients can expect a unique combination of exceptional customer service, investment knowledge, and construction consultation that sets me apart from others in the industry. I pride myself on being a trustworthy partner, committed to understanding my clients’ needs and guiding them through the home-buying or selling process with transparency and integrity.

One of my standout qualities is my fast response time. I recognize that real estate decisions often require prompt action, and I ensure that my clients have timely access to information and support whenever they need it. This responsiveness helps create a seamless experience, whether they are purchasing their first home or looking to invest in real estate.

Additionally, my background in construction and project management allows me to offer valuable insights into property potential and renovations, giving my clients a competitive edge in their transactions. I strive to empower them with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions and my goal is to foster lasting relationships built on trust, integrity, and results.


Describe your involvement with any organizations?    

I am actively involved in several organizations that reflect my professional and personal interests. One key involvement is with Springboard to Wealth, a real estate mentorship group that focuses on helping individuals build financial freedom and generational wealth through real estate. Through this group, I regularly attend meetups and engage with fellow real estate professionals to expand my knowledge and network within the industry.

In addition to my real estate involvement, I am passionate about martial arts and participate in Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, and MMA fight clubs. These combat sports have taught me discipline, resilience, and the importance of continuous self-improvement, values that I also apply to my work in real estate. Being part of these communities has allowed me to connect with others who share similar goals in fitness, self-defense, and personal growth.


Where have you lived? And where do you live now? Where did you go to school/ college and what did you study? Do you speak/ read/ write a secondary language?  

 I currently live in San Jose, California, where I’ve lived for most of my life. Growing up in San Jose has given me a deep connection to the community and a strong understanding of the area’s culture and neighborhoods.

I pursued my education at San Jose City College and Evergreen Valley College, where I studied Business Marketing and Administration. My academic background has been instrumental in shaping my career, providing me with valuable skills in marketing, communication, and business management. For my secondary language, I can speak Vietnamese.


What do you look for in a neighborhood?    

What I look for in a neighborhood is spaciousness, a strong sense of community, vibrant culture, well-maintained parks, proximity to great restaurants, and access to essential amenities.


What Bay Area city would you like to live in and why?    

I would love to live in Atherton. The city is known for its beautiful, spacious homes and tranquil neighborhoods, offering a perfect blend of luxury and privacy. Atherton’s strong sense of community and its peaceful, suburban atmosphere are particularly appealing. It’s a place where families can thrive, and the proximity to key areas in the Bay Area, such as Palo Alto and Menlo Park, adds to its convenience. Living in Atherton would provide the opportunity to be part of an exclusive, well-established community while still enjoying access to all that the Bay Area has to offer.


What are the five things you cannot live without? 

  1. Coffee – It’s more than just a drink; it’s part of my daily routine and fuels my focus and productivity. Coffee represents the calm before the storm of a busy day.
  2. Rolex Submariner – My watch symbolizes time management and discipline. It’s a constant reminder that time is the most valuable resource we have, and it helps me stay punctual and organized in both my personal and professional life.
  3. Fujifilm Instax Camera – I love capturing moments. Whether it’s family gatherings, travels, or everyday life, photography allows me to preserve memories in a tangible way, and my Fujifilm Instax camera adds a nostalgic, creative touch to that experience.
  4. Boxing Gloves – As someone who practices martial arts, boxing gloves are essential. They represent my commitment to health, discipline, and continuous self-improvement, both physically and mentally.
  5. Toyota 4Runner – My 4Runner is more than just transportation. It’s reliable, rugged, and symbolizes freedom and adventure, whether I’m traveling to new places or just navigating the demands of everyday life.


Where can we find you when you're not working?    

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me at De La Soul in Sunnyvale, sharpening my skills in Muay Thai, or at Flow Combat Club in San Jose, rolling on the mats during Jiu-Jitsu sessions. I’m passionate about fitness and combat sports, so if I’m not in the gym, I’m probably hitting the weight room or playing a few pickup games at the basketball court.

I also love the outdoors—you might catch me hiking along scenic trails, exploring new spots, or relaxing at the beach, enjoying the waves and soaking in some sun. Whether it’s training or unwinding, I’m always looking for ways to stay active and balanced.


What is one of your dream vacations?    

My dream vacation is to relax in the stunning paradise of Bora Bora, with its crystal-clear waters and overwater bungalows, or to adventure through the vibrant landscapes of Australia, exploring the Great Barrier Reef and iconic landmarks while enjoying the incredible wildlife!


What would you say to a 5- year-old child if he or she asked you what the purpose of life is?    

The purpose of life is to help people find what makes them happy and excited, to be strong and keep trying, and to wake up each day ready to do something special. It’s like being a superhero for yourself and others!


What was the happiest moment in your life?    

The happiest moment in my life hasn’t happened yet, but I’m actively working towards it every day. I believe that by pursuing my dreams and embracing new experiences, I’ll create that joyful moment in the future!


If you could be any animal, what would it be and why?    

If I could be any animal, I’d choose to be an eagle because they get to soar high in the sky, enjoy breathtaking views, and represent freedom and strength. Plus, who wouldn’t want to fly like a superhero?


Who inspires you and why?

I find inspiration in Tim Grover, He was Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant trainer and he has profoundly impacted my mental journey. After reading his book and watching his videos, I realized that I can push myself further both personally and in my business endeavors. His insights on discipline, resilience, and striving for greatness motivate me to elevate my goals and reach my full potential!


Which sitcom character do you relate to most?    

The sitcom character I relate to most is Ted Mosby from How I Met Your Mother. I relate to Ted because he is dreamer who values deep connections with friends and family.


What is the nicest thing anyone ever said to you?    

The nicest thing anyone has ever said to me is, “You inspire me to work harder.” Hearing that truly uplifted me and reminded me of the positive impact we can have on each other. It motivates me to continue striving for excellence in everything I do!


What is the strangest activity on your bucket list?    

The strangest activity on my bucket list is skydiving! Jumping out of a plane and free-falling through the sky sounds wild and exhilarating. I can’t wait to experience that rush of adrenaline and see the world from an entirely new perspective!


What is your biggest phobia?    

My biggest phobia is scary movies and anything horror-related! I can’t handle the suspense and jump scares—they just freak me out! I prefer to stick to lighthearted comedies or adventure films that keep things fun and upbeat.


What is your favorite month of the year and why?    

My favorite month of the year is December because I absolutely love Christmas! The festive spirit, twinkling lights, and cheerful decorations create such a warm and magical atmosphere. I enjoy spending time with family, sharing gifts, and indulging in delicious holiday treats. It’s a time for joy, giving, and making lasting memories!


What is your favorite room in the house?    

My favorite room in the house is the living room because that’s where moments and memories are created. It’s the heart of the home, where friends and family gather to share laughter, stories, and good times. Whether we’re watching movies, playing games, or simply enjoying each other’s company, the living room is where I feel the most connected and at home.


What magical power would you want to have?    

The magical power I would love to have is super speed! Imagine zipping around and getting things done in the blink of an eye—I’d have more time to enjoy life, explore new places, and connect with people. Plus, I’d never be late for anything again!


What is your pet peeve?  

My pet peeve is laziness. I believe that we all have the potential to achieve great things, and seeing others not put in the effort can be frustrating. I value hard work and dedication, and I’m always inspired by those who strive to make the most of their abilities!


Anything else you'd like to tell people about yourself?    

I’m committed to doing whatever it takes to reach my goals, which include achieving financial freedom, building generational wealth, and buying back my time. Life is too short to settle for anything less, and I believe in maximizing every opportunity to create a fulfilling and meaningful future.
