Edmund is highly experienced and extremely professional.  I have worked with Edmund on 3 occasions over the last 7 years.  He has helped me sell 2 properties and purchase our first single family home.  Edmund is extremely detail oriented, responsive, and I trust him to look out for my best interest.  On the most recent transaction, I was out of the country as we were ramping up to sell and he kept me fully informed each step of the way.   He has a strong team of experienced stagers and contractors. I am delighted to have the opportunity to work with Edmund and will do so again in the future.

We have worked with Edmund Yue over the last few years and it has always been amazing being in business with him. Edmund and his team are personable and caring; it really is like having a friend on the "inside" that is working for you. He cares about his clients; we did not feel rushed or lost in our home buying process with Edmund which is why we have wholeheartedly recommended him to all our friends. In addition, Edmund looked around the corners for us and was always one step ahead of us in the offer and paperwork process. His honesty, sincerity and friendly candor remained a constant through the many months we were in the market, looking for a home. We have loved working with Edmund and he is the sole reason the home buying process in the Bay area was a good experience for our family.

If you're in the market for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy, look no further than Edmund Yue! We recently had the pleasure of working with Edmund for our first time home purchase in San Jose, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience.

Edmund's expertise and experience were invaluable in guiding us through the home buying process. He was patient with us and made sure we understood each step of the process, from getting the loan through the lender, visiting multiple properties with us, making offers, and escrow. His attention to detail and dedication to his clients sets a high bar.

What sets Edmund apart is his willingness to go above and beyond for his clients. He took the time to understand our needs and worked tirelessly to help us through the entire process. He was always available to answer our questions and provided us with candid feedback to help us with our decision.

We highly recommend Edmund Yue to anyone looking for an agent/broker who is trustworthy, experienced, and a very thorough. He really went above and beyond, and we truly appreciate having Edmund in our corner.

We look forward to working with him in the future!

This review is overdue as I have been busy with our new home that Edmund helped us purchase! As a first time homebuyer, I started my home purchase process overwhelmed but Edmund was there to help answer all my questions and offer his guidance - never did I feel rushed during the entire process! He is professional, thorough, and extremely detail-oriented (helping to point out things I never thought to think about when house shopping).

The entire process went as smooth as possible - only because Edmund had the expertise, experience, and time to ensure we were prepared. I truly felt he was in our corner, ensuring that we got the home we wanted.

I highly recommend Edmund to anyone seeking a honest, patience, and experience agent on their side!

Edmund Yue is an absolute gem of a human being and a fantastic realtor. When we were looking for a new place to call home, we were truly so lucky to have been referred to Edmund through a coworker.

Edmund held our hands as first time home buyers and navigated us through the notorious Bay Area housing market and he made the home buying process so much easier than it otherwise would be. Edmund accomplished this by being an excellent partner in all the phases of the house buying process. He is a true professional, and we especially noticed how thorough, knowledgeable, and experienced he was. What's more, Edmund made sure to educate us at every step of the process so that we could have confidence that we were making the right decisions.

Edmund treated us like we were his only client. He would not hesitate to get on the phone with us late at night to answer any questions that we may have had, to review documents with us, or to educate us about the home-buying process. Edmund was unbelievably patient. We never felt pressured by Edmund to put an offer on a home or even to end a conversation after hours of questions. We could tell that he truly wanted the best for us. It was so reassuring to have a trustworthy advisor by our side and to feel that we were in good hands while purchasing our first home. In the same vein, Edmund's patience and calming nature were very much appreciated and helped us to stay calm during the most stressful moments.

When we viewed online listings or open houses with Edmund he provided us with so much information. He was constantly noticing small details or having us look at different features and then educating us as to why they either were or were not significant. This analysis continued in the home inspection reports which Edmund combed through and made sure we knew exactly what was in them. He was forward thinking and helped contextualize the risks and benefits of what we were observing which set us up for success. It was wonderful developing a list of pros and cons of each home Edmund toured with us. In this way we felt we knew all of the facts before deciding to put in an offer.

After one month of looking we had found a house that we were interested in. Fortunately, due to Edmund's advice we were completely prepared to put in an offer. Edmund had already educated us on all of the details of our offer contract so we knew exactly what we were agreeing to. Also, we were already pre-approved and underwritten for a loan because Edmund had previously connected us with multiple experienced lenders (both of whom were also wonderful to work with, it was a shame that we could only work with one) which allowed us to make a strong offer. Our first offer was accepted and we couldn't be happier. We got a fantastic interest rate thanks to the lender Edmund recommended and our house even appraised for more than we offered!

We are loving our new home that Edmund helped us secure, but if we decide to sell one day there is no question in our mind who our real estate agent will be. If you are ever lucky enough to get the opportunity to work with Edmund please take it!

Edmund has got to be one of the best real estate professionals in the Bay Area. Edmund recently helped us with our condo purchase in this very crazy Bay Area market, and we couldn't be happier with our experience with him. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, caring and professional. As first-time home buyers, him going the extra mile at every step of the way made a huge difference. Cannot recommend him more for your real estate needs!
Apart from his value as an agent, Edmund was very friendly and very fun to hang out with. When looking at places, chatting about real estate stuff or just in general he always kept things light and made the experience enjoyable. People dread the Bay Area home buying experience, but with an agent like Edmund, the experience was a breeze.

Edmund is the best realtor one could hope for.. extremely thoughtful and detail-driven. He helped us buy our first home, a condo in San Mateo, and was incredibly patient with us. He guided us through the process from beginning to end, clarifying and giving great explanations at each step. He was super knowledgeable regarding the market in the area, and for each property that we were interested in, he chimed in with observations and helped us narrow down the best options! He's always there for you for anything you need or any doubts you may have. He goes the extra mile, even helping us find contractors and giving advice for our remodeling needs!!! He was also there at our escrow signing to make sure we understood everything and just giving general support! We will be returning to Edmund whenever we decide to sell and/or buy again!

Couldn't have asked for a better Real Estate agent/broker than Edmund Yue! Buying your dream home in the extremely competitive Bay Area market is no easy feat, my husband and I were starting to lose hope, but Edmund made it happen! We had met with other agents over the years but have never met an agent as trustworthy, patient and professional as Edmund.
Edmund assisted us with every step in the process and never missed an opportunity to share his knowledge and expertise with us. As first-time homebuyers, this was extremely helpful and reassuring during (what started as) an extremely daunting experience.

We're extremely grateful to have had an agent as honest and experienced as Edmund. In such a hot market, it's rare to find an agent who really goes above and beyond for all their clients, and is 100% trustworthy. I highly recommend Edmund to anyone in the market to buy or sell a home!

Edmund had helped us with two house purchase: one recently from earlier 2019, and another back in 2011. We are very happy with his service. Edmund has been very professional and helpful throughout the process. With our first house purchase, we were very picky and careful since it was our very first house. Edmund had visited over 100 houses with us. Eventually Edmund helped us find our dream house, and we had lived in the house for about 8 years so far.

Fast forward to 2019, Edmund had helped us find a new house. We are very happy about the process as well. As usual, Edmund has been very helpful. What I really appreciate about him is that his unbiased and profession opinion if he is not very happy about the house. Very often, both my wife and I were hotheaded about a house, and Edmund would point out some potential problems, and then we found we tend to agree with him. The fact that he always has the best interest of his customer in heart, instead of pushing for a quick deal, has really been the reason we came back to Edmund and asked him to help us with buying our second home.

I could not have imagined a better realtor. Edmund is as good as it gets: meticulous, honest, personable, hardworking, and really goes above and beyond. Not only is he excellent at his job, Edmund is just a really great person overall.

I met Edmund through my friend's referral, and right off the bat, I knew he was trustworthy. As first time homebuyers, he set up a few intro calls and meetings with us, over the span of several hours total, to explain everything we ever wanted and needed to know about the entire house-buying process. No other agent would've bothered to do this.

Throughout the house hunting process, Edmund held our hand, so to speak, through every step of the way. He patiently and tirelessly answered all of our questions in detail and was extremely responsive to emails and texts. I know he's super busy but he treated us like we were VIPs, regardless of the price of the homes we were interested in. Unlike other agents, Edmund is never pushy or impatient, and never rushed us into making an offer (quite the opposite, actually). He is as honest with you as he would be with a family member.

Edmund really shines above the rest when it comes to being meticulous and detail-oriented, and this is such an important trait for an agent. While house hunting, he would point out all problem he sees, big or small, even stuff that most people would not notice, to make sure we've considered all options, weighed the pros and cons, and arrived at the best, most-informed decision. In the offer process, he poured over the lengthy disclosures and went through every line item with us to make sure we thoroughly understood. We've made three offers (the last one was finally accepted). A couple of times we made last-minute offers, and Edmund would work past midnight to ensure we get our offer in, even in a situation where we had little chance of winning.

Edmund is someone trustworthy who does all of the hard work for you - the epitome of what a superb agent should be. We could not have bought a house with this much confidence and ease without Edmund's help. He also went the extra mile for us, such as setting up roof and chimney inspections for us and writing us a list of minor repairs we should consider in the near future. I can already safely say that I will be working with Edmund again when we sell our house or buy another property.

As a bonus, Edmund is very well-connected and knowledgeable about all matters related to buying a home. For example, he introduced us to a terrific lender who got us a super low rate and closed for us in less than 30 days. He also introduced us to a great contractor who's just as honest and hardworking as he is (and affordable too).

Edmund is the best out there - and it only just happens he does realty. He is very hands-on, extremely knowledgeable and detailed in every aspect, and is very willing to share his experience - and even thought processes - to help us with our new home. We would not have gotten our home without Edmund's guidance. All his referrals for key people to make this transaction happen we're spot on, this also could not have happened so smoothly without his network of people of similar caliber. He is very patient and genuine in his thoughts and feedback to us, as he clearly wants the best for us. He and Serena's guidance to us is as if he were buying his own home, what we should consider and look for. Edmund's help and support extends even beyond the sale of the house, as he is very open to tips on permits, remodeling, and general house questions. I highly recommend to anyone out there who is looking for a house but have yet to buy one, to please have him as your trusted agent.

This review is loooong overdue that I don't know where to begin! We were so blessed to have Edmund as our "buyer" realtor and "seller" realtor for the same house so let me give his pros for each scenario.

AS A BUYER REALTOR:
We found a 3 bedroom, 2 bath "fixer upper" in San Mateo in Jan 2012 and at the time, it was just at the beginning of the housing market picking up again. Bidding for homes were fierce (one home we put a bid on had 35!). Even for this "fixer upper" a total of 9 bids were submitted!

Why you want Edmund as your BUYER realtor:
1. He is THOROUGH. We looked at a lot of homes and Edmund had something to critique of each home haha. He will do a walk through of the property with you and tell you all the pitfalls the house might have that you would NEVER notice. i.e. "Oh...the floor is tilting in this corner...do you see?" "Oh...I would drive by this home at night just to make sure there's no rowdy neighbors, etc."
2. He knows how to negotiate to help you win your house. I don't want to reveal his secret sauce, but let me tell you my husband and I doubted his methodology but went with it, and OMG we are so glad we listened to him because we ended up going through two rounds of bids on this home!
3. He is an honest and hard working realtor. Edmund is so genuine and truly wants you to be happy with your purchase. Sometimes he's almost TOO honest that it's to a fault. And he bend over backwards to service what you need...something that is rare to find in a realtor these days!

By 2016, we grew our family by 2 kids, a dog, and my in laws moving in to help. Our "perfect" home back in 2012 had become too small for us! We decided to sell the home, and let me tell you we didn't automatically go with Edmund. We ended up interviewing him and another realtor, and Edmund was our #1 pick because we knew in the end he would try his best to get the selling price we wanted and put the invested time to make everything perfect to get that price (and he came by the house at least 4-5x before we did open house).

Why you want Edmund as your SELLER REALTOR:

1. Edmund has amazing connections with vendors. We needed someone to repaint the house, fix interiors, redo the floor sidings, fix the patio deck and repaint it, etc. and at such a reasonable price. The contractor didn't speak a lot English, so Edmund helped with the translation (THANK YOU) just so we could use him as our contractor for the house. He also connected us to a very highly sought home stager (which was the reason why we got the selling price that we did) to make the home look like a model home!
2. Edmund is METICULOUS. He makes sure the staging looked right, he made us clean all the windows of finger spots (he even helped clean our windows, too!) and the house was PERFECT before open house. No realtor would spend so much time doing all these "small things" to make the final picture perfect for open house and the brochures.
3. Again, without giving Edmund his secret sauce he did an INCREDIBLE JOB buying our house at $566k, and eventually selling it for $1.42 MIL 4 years later!

Because of the magic Edmund was able to do with selling our home, we have a realtor for LIFE with him. We even recommended Edmund to our family friend who was building a NEW CONSTRUCTION home and they LOVED Edmund and how he helped them close the deal on their property. And this is a friend who is SUPER PICKY and particular, so for them to say they LOVE him speaks volumes of what kind of realtor Edmund is :).

The only thing I will say ahead of time is that Edmund can be talkative, but he is such a thorough person and likes to run things by you, that honestly this I don't find really a con but a pro, especially in the real estate business. But I would say this is the only "critique" for my dear, wonderful Edmund if there is ANYTHING to critique. Otherwise he is what an "ideal realtor" should be. Don't mistake his kindness for being a bulldog in the negotiation room!

I have worked with Edmund twice, buying my first home and later listing it. Both times I found him to be the EPITOME of professionalism and reliability. I don't give 5 star reviews, but this one is absolutely without hesitation.

Edmund consistently went over and above simply listing and marketing -- he made design recommendations, secured trustworthy contractors, even personally delivered important documents to me in times of urgency. This is an agent who holds his clients in highest regard and establishes real rapport, rather than just getting a quick deal. He kept me informed each step of the way, always ready with helpful advice, but never overwhelming or making me feel like he didn't have time. He doesn't hang up the phone until I'm ready to hang up.

During the offer stage, his ability to anticipate the other parties' strengths and weaknesses, while providing just in time advice, made the closing much smoother than I could have anticipated. His ability to deftly navigate tricky waters helped me reach an outcome that completely blew my expectations -- twice! What a fantastic business partner!

Edmund Yue is an absolutely excellent realtor; his professionalism and detail-oriented nature are just two of the qualities that have led my husband and I to choose him as our agent not just 1, but 3 separate times over the past 5 years: in buying our first home in 2012, selling that home in 2017 and then purchasing our next home later that same year.

If there is one phrase that could summarize our interactions with Edmund, it would be that he truly "goes above and beyond" whatever the matter at hand: making himself available time and time again to discuss concerns, goals, hesitations or questions, educating us on market conditions and trends, coordinating with other agents to arrange walk-throughs of properties outside of crowded "open house" times, or connecting us with various professionals to assist with our needs in either buying or selling a home (be it lenders, contractors, etc). We can say with certainty that due to Edmund's professionalism and experience, we never questioned if a step was being missed in any of our 3 transactions.

To close, we'll say that Edmund is truly remarkable in the sense that we have never felt he had a personal agenda when it came to either buying our selling our property. He is an attentive listener who always made our goals his top priority in each and every one of our exchanges and transactions. Throughout our 8-year history, we have without a doubt found Edmund to be a completely trust-worthy, incredibly detail-oriented and whole-heartedly dedicated agent.

Edmund truly is as good as it gets. He helped us buy our first home 5+ years ago, so we turned to him again recently to help us sell that house and move to a larger home that was closer to work. All of our experiences with Edmund and his team have been truly exceptional -- he's incredibly knowledgable, honest, detail-oriented, and most importantly, was always looking out for us.

In buying our new home, he took the time to walk us through all of the steps, gave us great advice throughout the process, and did a great job negotiating with the seller's agent to help us win the home in a very competitive market. He also has a great network of vendors that he knows and trusts who he was able to recommend along the way (like contractors, inspectors, loan agents, etc).

Edmund also helped us get top dollar when it came time to sell our existing house. He showed us how even minor repairs would help us increase the value of our home, and though we had to invest a bit more time and money upfront, he was absolutely right that it paid dividends in the form of more / better offers. Edmund's expertise, connections and hustle helped us navigate the whole process, even despite some unexpected bumps. He did a ton of research and work to make sure that our house was featured in the best way, and truly delivered in getting us the best offers.

We could not be happier with Edmund and his team -- he's an absolute professional who will take care of you like family!

Edmund is a best-of-class professional overall, beyond just a trusted agent. He is attentive to every detail and goes way above and beyond to make your home buying and selling experience is as easy as possible and that you achieve your goals, whether it's to win the home you want, to negotiate terms, or to sell your property at its best value.

I have known Edmund through friends for 16 years and he is one of the most trustworthy, reliable, and honest people I know. He constantly strives to do his best and pushes himself to learn more and do even better over time. These traits make him a truly exceptional real estate agent.

We have worked with Edmund for 3 real estate transactions and several of our friends have worked with him. No other agent I know comes even close to his level of knowledge, advice, and professionalism. While other agents may work hard or be good negotiators, Edmund's advice is invaluable; the other skills enable him to execute successfully on that knowledge and advice. Without him, we would not have been as happy in our choices and we wouldn't have made nearly as much money from our investments.

When we wanted to buy a run down house in Santa Clara in 2012, Edmund advised us to check out a new townhome in North San Jose. We fell in love with the property! And now that we have just sold that property, it was a much better investment and we were definitely much happier living in a brand new property with an amazing view and a lot more space than we would have been in a tiny run down house.

In buying the townhome, Edmund helped us negotiate a significant discount on upgrades and helped us follow up with the builder for anything we were concerned about. Upon closing, I realized that Edmund made a lot less money helping us buy the townhome than he would have made if we bought the house we originally wanted. It really speaks to the fact that he is more concerned with finding us the right home than making money off of one transaction.

Earlier this year, Edmund advised us on bidding to help us win our perfect home and he helped to negotiate a few of our requests.

While we were very happy with our purchase transactions, nothing prepared us for the level of service we would want or need when we decided to sell our townhome. Edmund explained the whole process from start to finish and expanded on any complex items when the time was right so that we always knew what was going on. He advised us to do some light remodeling in order to get the best price. He helped us get great vendors, good pricing for the work, and oversaw all of the work done. He even made some of the vendors come back to correct anything that wasn't completed to perfection. He paid attention to every detail that might impact a sale to the perfect bidder. His advice throughout the whole process was invaluable and his efforts really raised demand for and value in the property, giving us the best price possible from multiple buyers. And Edmund made it so we did the absolute minimum amount of work to sell the property by taking care of so many details himself.

He is the best realtor and I absolutely recommend him to anyone who wants to love their home or make the most from their home sale.

This is my second review for Edmund Yue. I have had the help of Edmund to purchase my place and also sell my place. This update is for my experience working with Edmund as a selling agent. Edmund is meticulous and hard working. My work schedule does not allow for me to be hands one for the repairs and getting the home ready to sell. Edmund has made the process very smooth and worry free. He is trustworthy and I considered myself very fortunate. He handled everything, including supervising the work without me being present.

All I can say that if you are looking for a buyer or seller's agent, it would be a mistake to not speak with Edmund. He is hands down the best agent I have met.
