Aunt Melia have a very good instinct, very good communicator and the right person to trust for your home and part of the family friends for life. YES! I would refer her to all of my co-worker, friends and family.I was introduce to her by my aunt and uncle. It was roughly 20yrs ago that my aunt and uncle sold their house in Union City. They were using Aunt Melia as their realtor, ever since then Aunt Melia always been a part of the family friends. Last November (2020) my then fiancé and I were looking to buy a house that we can build our future and dreams together. Long behold, I knew that my parents, aunt and uncle would suggest to reach Aunt Melia and ask her to help us find the right house for us. I already have a good feeling about Aunt Melia and it was a no brainer decision to make. Aunt Melia and her son Justin which is a great duo of family, they went out of their way to help us look for a house in Sacramento area (which is totally out of her way and out of her areas of specialty which is bayarea). She told us that since she helped our family 20yrs ago she would help us today, considering that she's family friends. Long story short, we went back to bayarea because it's closer to family and area like San Ramon have a great schools (that was Aunt Melia suggestions in the first place) and finally found a home in San Ramon. Aunt Melia and I have always been on the same page, whether it was the offer that we should put for the house, the inspections, if it was the right house and other things. I know that Aunt Melia put a lot of time and work to help us find the right home. We are ecstatic that we got the house ( vs 11 other offers). It took us little less than 5 months to get the house that was just perfect for our little family. I'm very appreciative, great full and blessed to have known people such as Aunt Melia, Om Andy and Justin.They are the RIGHT Team to be trusted!!

Our first-time home buying experience was amazing and one of our memorable experiences! Melia thoroughly explained to us the whole home buying process and was very insightful especially when we have rookie questions. We had 2 prospect homes and Melia took care of scheduling the in-person house viewing due to shelter-in-place. Luckily, these houses were right in front of each other. We initially had our eye on house #1 and we made an initial offer the next day. After having some discussions with Melia, we decided to pursue house #2 instead, so we made an offer later that day. What made us change our mind? This is where we relied on Melia's expertise; she explained to us the pros and cons of each house. Being a first-time homebuyer, we cannot easily see the upgrades/additions on these houses unless pointed to us. We are really grateful that Melia shared this information with us and it led us to the home that was best for us. She also advised us on what's the reasonable price to offer given the current market condition and impact of COVID-19 to buyers and sellers. She dealt with the listing agent even if it's late at night and closely monitored our offer. Ultimately, our offer got accepted the next day!! The best thing about this process is our offer was below the listing price (and the appraised value); another proof of Melia's expertise in this industry! Melia regularly updated us on the process and she took care of dealing with listing agent with regards to clearing contingencies and other inquiries that we had about the house and certain documents. We would always hop on a call to go through each document; she would explain each document to make sure we were making informed decisions. The entire process of viewing the houses and closing escrow took 1 month which was really really great! It has been 3 days since we moved into our new home and Melia is still checking in to make sure we are settling good.

Melia not only worked very hard but she also truly put her heart into her work! Our experience with her was incredible. She was professional while always putting our family interests first. She doesn't just take of business -- she takes care of us! She went above and beyond our expectations. Our family can't thank enough for Melia and the team that we finally found our dream home in Tri-Valley despite of COVID-19 pandemic situation. Our family moved from Peninsula to Tri-Valley for my job relocation. I was referred to Melia by a friend of mine to help us in finding our home. Melia is wonderful, knowledgeable, and attentive realtor. She was in constant contact with us throughout our house hunting. Not only that, she really put herself in our shoes, she understands our needs and challenges we face as parents with young children.Melia worked very hard to make sure every step of process went smoothly. From the very start of the process all the way to the closing day and beyond Melia made us feel we were her most important client. She helped us win the multiple-offer bidding war even though the other offers were way much higher than ours. I believe without the help of her we wouldn't have been successful in buying our home. Thank you for everything you've done for us, Melia!Without any hesitation, I would highly recommend Melia and the team for all your real estate needs!

We worked with Melia Kwee and team to sell our home in Danville (CA), and we couldn't have been more pleased! We received multiple offers first few days the house went on the market, thanks to Melia's incredible planning and work. She had all the inspections completed before we listed in expedited fashion, to make buyers comfortable taking off contingencies. Melia brought in a fabulous photographer to showcase our home online and during showing, which created much more foot traffic and brought in serious buyers. She also brought in a designer to help stage our home, which helped make it more appealing to a larger group of potential buyers. Her team is top notch and reliable! We had a tight deadline and Melia was wonderful in keeping the transaction moving along and getting to closing in a timely manner, overcoming hurdles on the way. She was always available to answer our questions. She was very responsive, considerate and is the sweetest and professional person to work with. We had a great experience! We would recommend Melia to anyone trying to get the most of your property sale.

Melia helped us buying and selling several properties in San Ramon and Fremont. We were very pleased with the quality of her service. She is knowledgeable and dependable real estate agent. She was responsive and prompt in answering our questions. She also advised us on what to prepare and to do before selling our properties. She even helped us to decorate our houses before they were put in the market. Our houses were sold within a week and all above our asking price with multiple offers. Overall, our experience working with her was great. We never felt worried while we were in the process of buying or selling the houses because we were confidence in Melia. We felt that we were in a good hand and she would take care everything for us. Melia always works for her client's best interest. We highly recommend Melia if you are looking for a real estate agent.

Andy from Melia's team had done an excellent job for us and made the first-time home buying process extremely smooth. His timely support and advice had been phenomenal, and because of Andy's efforts, we never faced any problems. In summary, Andy had been perfect in his role and in guiding and closing the deal in time, with no hassles and no issues. I would recommend him for future services.

We recently worked with Melia and Andy to purchase a home in San Ramon. We met Melia as we were looking at a house where she was the listing agent. We did not make an offer on that house but ended up asking Melia to represent us in the purchase of a different home! We did not get the house on the first try as we were not the sellers first choice. However, the first buyer fell through and because of Melia's persistence we were able to get our offer accepted before the house went back on the market. Subsequent to our offer being accepted our loan process took quite a few unexpected turns and we ended up having to ask for multiple extensions beyond the initial escrow period. Melia and Andy helped guide us during the process and also very proactively and calmly handled the situation with the listing agent. They exhibited an extreme amount of patience, politeness, and professionalism in interfacing between us and the listing agent and ensured that the contract did not fall through. They were both very accessible and very responsive to our calls and e-mails, and their advice and counsel was invaluable in helping us deal with a stressful situation. Ultimately, we did close!We found both Melia and Andy to be very professional, capable, honest, diligent, and with very high integrity. They are both very knowledgeable about the different aspects of a real-estate transaction and make a great team with complementary skills. We were extremely satisfied and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for buying or selling representation.
