My wife and I have lived in the Bay Area for over 20 years. Lynn and Ke has helped us sell and purchase our home several times now over the years. As our real estate agent, I trust them to always have our best interest in mind during every transaction. They listen to what we want or what we’re looking for, and then offer their guidance on the best path forward. When I’m ready to sell my current home or buy my next dream home, I’ll definitely be calling Lynn and Ke again.

Ke and Lynn helped us both sell our previous home and buy a new one. I’m always impressed by their professionalism and sense of responsibility. The process was very smooth thanks to their dedicated support. I would highly recommend them for any buying or selling needs.

Lynn and Ke manage our property for more than 11 years. He help us found the ideal house, manage the property over the years, and help us sold it in a week lately. They have been very professional and resourceful, help us made a few right key decisions. We went through a few challenges along the way, and they have proven to be the top realtors I have ever known across the country. I will recommend them to any one who want to buy or sell property in bay area.

Lynn and his team have helped us purchase homes twice in the past 10 years. I am delighted to be his loyal customer. Additionally, I referred Lynn to three of my friends, including one from Shanghai, who also became loyal customers. Lynn and his team are professional and guided us in selecting the best unit within a community. He advised us on when to hold off and when to bid, ensuring a balanced price that met our budget while also giving us a good chance of winning. Lynn even managed to negotiate deals off the market. Overall, I will continue to use Lynn's team for my future real estate transactions.

I have done at least five real estate transactions with Lynn. Each time Lynn has dedicated all his efforts to make sure everything was done correctly. Whether he was looking for the best loan rates or if he was trying to sell my property, Lynn delivered with no surprises. With my first property, Lynn was able to sell it within two weeks! He worked endlessly until it was sold. However, Lynn was not just someone who wanted to get rid of the property quickly. He made sure I got an offer that I wanted and continued to work with me even after the property was sold. When the property sold, the association withheld $1800 from me. Lynn worked for several months until I received the money back! He had already received his commission months ago, but continued to support me. It really is true that the relationship does not end when the deal is done. With another property, I needed a loan. Since Lynn was so great, I naturally wanted him to do it as well. Again, Lynn impressed me. Lynn would look everyday for weeks until he got me the rate I wanted. Eventually, Lynn got me a rate of 4% for a 3-year interest only loan. I even checked with Bankrate, and nobody came near that rate. He is someone you can trust to find very competitive rates and will not pull some weird requirement before you need the money to close. Be careful with unknown brokers, I have heard horror stories about people losing a lot of money because the broker or bank, trying to make more money, would pull a special requirement such as more down payment or higher fees right before you close. Some brokers prey on you since you are most vulnerable right before the money is due. I guarantee Lynn will not do this. I have done enough transactions with him to know this. In another transaction, Lynn refinanced a property for me. He made this transaction so smooth that I almost forgot about it. I asked Lynn to refinance a property for 30 years at a rate of 5.5%. Within a couple of weeks, Lynn locked in a rate of 5.375% for me, drove me to escrow, and closed the transaction. Now, not all the transactions we have done were smooth. With one loan, when it was getting close to the deadline, Lynn woke up at 6 am every morning to make sure the bank would get all the things together. At these worrisome times, Lynn did not hide from me. He told me exactly what was going on and what still needed to be done. That is someone that is rare in the real estate business. I could bore you with all the transactions, but in every case, Lynn put all his heart into the transaction. He is an honest person who will get things done. If you want a friend that is in real estate rather than just a person working in real estate, I guarantee Lynn will not disappoint you. In this crazy real estate business, everyone wants a piece of your money pot. You need someone you can trust to fight for you. Lynn is that person.

Lynn is different from our former agents in different ways: his slightly larger build, his rather casual clothing choices, his MIT education background - a guaranteed bonus when it comes to loan calculations, his understanding of his role - an honest guide, a supporter of the clients' decisions, a fighter at negotiating tables, and an always-on-duty rescuer during emergencies. Unlike some agents who prioritize sales volume and commission before clients, Lynn has never pressured us and has always spoken his honest opinions patiently about both the value and quality of each property. The following chart I complied would speak for itself. Three Similar Listings on Our Street: House #1 1800 Sq Ft, 3 BR Sold for $860K, 12/2009 House #2 2100 Sq Ft, 4 BR Sold for $895K, 03/2010 Our House 2100 Sq Ft, 4 BR Sold for $878K, 12/2009 And ONLY our house came with fossil stone flooring on the first level, granite kitchen countertops, and plantation shutters throughout. To choose the best loan option, one late night Lynn calculated with my husband the break-even point of each scenario. And when an urgent matter with our loan surfaced, Lynn updated us with new status every morning and evening despite his Thanksgiving vacation. His clothing choices might be somewhat casual, but his work has been proven anything but casual. Lynn's excellent service did not end with the close of the sale. He has always been there to patiently answer our seemingly "stupid" questions and help find a solution. By the time we moved in, Lynn had told us a great deal of things about purchasing a home, but looking back, the only things he never said were: "You should buy this house," or "You should pay this amount for it." With a heart as big as his build, if he is not a great agent and his work not great service, I don't know what is. 🙂

We have worked with Lynn Shi throughout the process of buying our first property. Working with Lynn Shi has been a very positive and wonderful experience for us. Lynn was extremely responsive right from the beginning, very accommodating throughout the process. He gave great suggestions, and also listened intently and incorporated feedback accordingly. We initially knew only the general process of home buying, but unfamiliar with the actual rigors of the real estate market ?of quick decision making and the highly fluctuating and rapidly increasing house prices. Lynn made us familiar and even comfortable with these realities. Throughout the process, Lynn discussed our expectations with us and made us aware of how those expectations matched up to the actual market. He gave us comparative market analysis of the property which we liked that enabled us to understand the value of the property better. We encountered several complications along the way ranging from our own confusions on whether to go for a condominium or a single family residence to the actual loan process. We had obstacles at each stage starting from our visa status for getting loans and much more. For each of these obstacles, Lynn was consistent and reliable and helped through the obstacles. He would not hesitate to work long hours to make sure that we understand all the formalities. We have stayed beyond midnight in his office to solve lot of complications we had. We were not sure if we would qualify for a single family residence and were looking for condos and with Lynn's motivation and guidance here we are ? 'Proud owners of a single family residence in Sunnyvale which is just 6 years old!!!'.This was the first house we gave an offer for and we got it. Last but not the least, he also stops by to say hi or give a holiday gift, which is a testament in itself to his follow through and customer focus. He makes sure that we are satisfied with the purchase even after all the formalities are done and he has no obligation towards us. He is a good friend than a real estate agent for us.

There aren't enough nice words to describe Lynn. He is exceptionally hardworking and dedicated; a complete professional, he always put our interests first when we purchased our first house and applied for our loan. The day the bids were due on the house, Lynn was on the phone with the selling agent several times throughout the day to obtain information. And in the end, we were able to purchase the house at below list price! He handled our loan with expertise as well. The day we went into contract, the interest rates rose. Being well informed and intuitive, he watched the market and knew that the interest rate would fluctuate back down and we were able to lock in a great rate. He worked tirelessly for us from start to finish--he completed comparative market analyses, loan papers and bids all on short notice. Every part of our home buying was quick and smooth. He has incredible follow through as he was with us in the final walk through of the house and even now he's available for any questions we have. Lynn made sure our home buying experience was pleasant. He is professional, meticulous, and committed to excellence. We highly recommend Lynn as a real estate agent and mortgage broker.

Meeting Lynn was coincidental and feel very fortunate that we meet such a great Realtor as well an excellent Loan agent. On the course of our meetings, he became one of our close friends now. Lynn spends lot of time in identifying our requirements and patiently lessons to our needs and gives very high regards to all our views/needs and act accordingly. He takes good time showing different houses and verifies with us if it meets all our requirements. When he takes us to a house, he patiently explains all the details of the house, neighborhood, his thoughts/views and those were very valuable and not measurable. Another good thing about Lynn is he maintains good contact with listing agents and builds a very good rapport in no time. In fact the listing agent of the house we bought, liked Lynn very much and that special consideration was a plus when we put in the offer. Lynn spends lot of time and don't mind staying late to put in offers or explain all the pros and cons of the house before making an offer. And the way Lynn presents the offer is also very impressive. Lynn is a very good loan agent as well. He did our mortgage also with a very good rate. He even follow up and suggests banks for refinancing. We had refereed Lynn to few of our friends and they are now proud home owners like us. With a long association, he has been one of our good friends now. He often calls and visits us, won't forget to give us holiday gifts too. Thank you very much Lynn! All your extra efforts are highly appreciated!! Hope to work with you when we move to a bigger house!!!

The transaction that Lynn helped me with was for my very first home. Never having owned a home before, I possessed few, if any knowledge required in performing a worry free real-estate transaction. I was unaware of all the intricate and technical details that are needed to ensure that a transaction of such magnitude processes without any problems. I needed an agent, with whom I could trust my finances and with whom I could comfortably share my desire for the type of home I wanted. Lynn's instrumental dedication in finding me the perfect home within my budget was impressive. Without any regard to his personal life, he worked diligently in finding me the right property in the right neighborhood of my choice. Once we found a home we liked, Lynn demonstrated his superb negotiation skills in getting me the home for below the asking price. Throughout the whole process of negotiation with the seller's agent, he maintained outstanding professionalism, with which I was very impressed. In addition, he paid attention to every single detail that mattered to me, and made sure he communicated these details to the sellers appropriately. He took the time to explain to me each of the documents involved in the process, making sure that I understood them very well. If I had any questions regarding the documents, he was always available to answer these questions regardless of what time of the day it was, or what day of the week it was. If I should ever again get involved in a real estate transaction, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I will pick Lynn to represent me again. It is of great comfort knowing that I have a true friend in the real estate business that will pay the utmost attention to my needs and will religiously help me should I ever need him again. Thanks Lynn.

I had the pleasure of working with an exceptional real estate agent in finding and purchasing my dream home in Palo Alto. From the initial meeting to the final closing and even years after, their professionalism and dedication were evident. Lynn demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market, providing valuable insights that helped me make informed decisions. Their responsiveness and communication skills were outstanding. In my specific case, we submitted a few (3-4) bids after research and local visits. But due to the overwhelming market demand, they did not go through. The latest one was a bid on a Tudor style house that landed us in the short list, but eventually rejected by the seller. After the holidays, the seller agent told us that the top candidate backed out of the process. Lynn secured the additional information and used it to negotiate an even better deal. After our dual diligence, we closed transaction and moved in by the end of January. I highly recommend Lynn to anyone in search of a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professional. They played a pivotal role in making my dream home a reality, and I am grateful for their expertise and personalized approach.

If I'm allowed to recommend only one real estate and loan specialist, my choice would be nobody but Mr. Lynn Shi. As a real estate investor, I need a reliable and trustful loan officer who can help me navigate the complicated, sometimes frustrated loan application process, and get the expected result in a timely manner. I felt lucky that I met Mr. Lynn Shi virtually in 2000, and we completed several mortgage loans and mortgage refinancing transactions smoothly in recent years. It is not exaggeration that Mr. Lynn Shi played an essential role in my transition from financial security to financial freedom. He is very professional, with abundant knowledge in his two fields ( real estate brokerage and mortgage financing), very considerate for his clients, and he always answers my questions quickly and clearly. He is that kind of agent standing in the clients' shoes to think, and effectively tides over any obstacles that may arise from the application process for a quick, satisfactory closing. Personally I haven't meet him yet, but I'm planning to. In fact, I have already recommended him to some of my colleagues with the needs in either purchasing a house, or refinancing a loan. I will continue to do so, as I would like to share Mr. Lynn Shi's excellence in his job with my friends in the San Jose area.

A real estate transaction is a serious enough endeavour that requires some fundamental characteristics: Being dilligent; being well-informed; being honest; having an educated guess as to what can be expected; being proactive, to name a few. In a realtor-client relationship all these characteristics need a solid, foundational channel: Good communication. In a time when most people would advise to refrain from placing a property in the market (the Christmas holiday season!), Lynn provided his services with a superb level of professional excelency, to say the least. The real estate market and all the individuals and organizations that create it and keep it flowing are characteristics that a real estate agent cannot control. However, how a real estate agent plays his role in such a dynamic phenomenon is what makes the difference as to how a transaction unfolds and the level of satisfaction that such undertaking will provide for the agent�s client. The delivery and quality of service that I received from Lynn were simply beyond what could be expected from most agents. With all the normal expectations, the sale of my property took place very smoothly due to his hard and honest work. He provided everything that was needed as a dedicated professional plus he added the characteristics that only a true and unconditional friend is willing to offer for the sake of friendship. Thanks Lynn!

If your ideal realtor is honest, down-to-earth, patient, and follows up on all your concerns, then Lynn is your guy. I did an out of state refinance with Lynn. While this is the first time Lynn had to do an out of state loan, he wasn't to be denied. He worked tirelessly in getting me a great rate, communicating with remote appraisers and title companies, and even put up some of his own money for me when I'm out of country traveling. During the refinance process, the title company had a bunch of processing problems that cost me extra money. Lynn worked hard in trying to get the errors corrected. Too hard I may add, even after I've given up hope getting any compensation back, he's still working on it. In his words, it's his reputation on the line. Now, wouldn't you like to have a realtor on your side that cares about your interest even more so than yourself? I know I would.

If I have any refinance needs or purchase a place, I will definitely ask lynn for his expertise. As a loan officer, he worked tirelessly and being very responsible. He helped me with my loan for my LA purchase. He has to work remotely with title company, appraisal down in L.A. Since I have a very tight schedule, he is able to be top of all the steps,providing me most up-to-date information and promptly answer any of my questions. During my purchase, the rate has been going up and up, Lynn had been watching it every day trying to lock down a better rate for me for 2 weeks. With his dedication, we are able to close the escrow on time. He is very patient and always provides suggestion for the customer's best interest. He has always been very motivated, detail-oriented and reliable. I will definitely choose lynn as my agent for my next purchase if my wallet allows, and so should you!

As the first time home buyer, we did not know too much about buying a house. We did not even know what we should ask. Lynn helped us a lot by walking us through the whole process step-by-step. Buying a bank owned house could be tedious and very frustrated experience for everyone. With Lynn's help, we close the deal based on my schedule and make the process less painful as possible. Although we hired Lynn as our loan officer, he went to beyond it, including coordinating the listing agent, buying agent, and banks, giving us tips on how to deal with sellers issues, and pointing us on some pitfalls. He understood our needs and fought for our interests. I would like to recommend Lynn to all my friends.

My working relationship with Lynn started with a mortgage loan for my first house in LA. Not only was he able to get a much better-than-market rate, but he also tried everything he could to keep his promises; completing the loan on time, and making sure that everything going smoothly to offset the fact that he was in the Bay Area and doing the loan remotely. As the mortgage rates went down, Lynn helped me with several refinance transactions as well as two purchases in the Bay Area. During the processes, oftentimes, unexpected things happen. Lynn helped me analyze the situations and come up with strategies. I recommend Lynn to anyone buying/selling a house or doing a refinance loan.

We bought our first house with Lynn from Waldstein Realty, highly recommend anyone looking for their next home in the Bay Area to chat with Lynn! From the very beginning, Lynn has been very patient in listening our priorities looking for a new home, he always came up with very insightful opinions after visiting open houses with us. We were really torn between 2 houses with offer due back to back, Lynn did thorough CMA to come up with his valuation of these 2 properties that helped us big time. We made an offer for the house that dues first, which eventually got accepted, later the 2nd house came out with a final price way above our budget! Thanks to Lynn for your help buying our dream house, you'll be the first one we reach out for future real estate questions!

I worked with Lynn last year to buy our first house and set up the mortgage too. Very satisfied with his service, despite how nerve-wrecking the whole process of buying a home was. He is very knowledgeable about all aspects of home buying and spends time in understanding the preferences of home buyers. He did extensive research for every house that I was interested in and provided his honest assessment. After he communicated to me all the pros and cons and different offering strategies for each house, he respected and fully supported every decision that I make. I would highly recommend Lynn and Waldstein Realty if you are thinking about buying and selling houses.

We bought our house in the Bay Area with Waldstein Realty in 2015. We had limited budget but a preference over Sunnyvale / Santa Clara area. Lynn was very knowledgeable, every week he sent us a list of options with his insightful comments on each house. It was extremely helpful for us to get a clear idea about the pros and cons of each house, before we went for the open house. We made a couple of offers with him, and each time he always carefully went through the disclosure documents and told us where to pay attention. Finally we were able to buy a good place at Sunnyvale with all his efforts. Lynn is also a great broker for mortgage. We managed to secure our loan quickly with a low interest rate, and received good refinance options a few years later when the interest rate went down. Lynn is absolutely the agent I’d recommend who can give buyers peace of mind throughout the entire transaction.

We had a pleasure experience working with Lynn as my loan agent. I must say, Lynn's professionalism truly stands out. His deep understanding of the loan process and keen market insight were invaluable. He monitored the market trends, ensuring that we locked in the loan at the most opportune moment. Throughout our collaboration, Lynn demonstrated honesty, reliability, and efficiency, making the entire process smooth and satisfying. His dual expertise in both loans and real estate agent added a unique and beneficial perspective to our dealings. I am impressed with Lynn's services and would highly recommend him to my friends and anyone looking for a trustworthy agent in the Bay Area. His dedication and skill have certainly earned my trust and appreciation.

My wife and I had an exceptional experience working with Lynn as our buying agent. From the start, Lynn understood our values, listened to our needs, and made the home buying process less stressful. Lynn's guidance was invaluable, providing us with a clear understanding of the intricacies involved in buying a home. He went above and beyond, educating us on details we might have overlooked and ensuring we made informed decisions. What sets Lynn apart is his dedication. Even after the closing, he continues to provide advice and support related to our new home. Lynn is not just an agent; he's a trusted advisor. We highly recommend Lynn to anyone seeking a professional who not only guides you through the process but also makes it enjoyable and stress-free.

We bought our house in 2013. The housing prices were increasing very rapidly at the time. There were lots of buyers chasing the limited houses on the market, and there were also lots of all-cash buyers. In such a highly competitive market, Lynn used his expertise to help us target some areas, select houses, and strategically put out offers. We were able to purchase our dream house with his help! Lynn is very familiar with the house buying process and regulations, make our purchasing experience very easy. Lynn is also patient and honest, with very good negotiating skills, we highly recommend him.

We sold our old home and bought our new home using Lynn's services. We were very impressed with Lynn's quality of service and commitment to excellence. But don't take our word for it, let the numbers do the talking. Lynn helped us sell our old home 35K over asking price and helped us buy our new home with only a 7K premium during a very hot sellers market where we were competing with many other offers. He also helped us obtain a competitive mortgage rate. When we moved in, we had some minor issues with our home. Lynn diligently helped us resolve these issues in a timely manner. He truly understands that the relationship between client and agent do not end after close of sale. Overall I would highly recommend Lynn to anyone interested in buying or selling a home.

Lynn helped us to get an excellent mortgage rate for our house in LA. Not only was he able to get a much-better-than-market rate, he tried everything he could to keep his promises; completing the loan on time, and making sure that everything were going smoothly to offset the fact that he's in the bay area and doing the loan remotely. We're extremely impressed by his honesty, professionalism and sincerity on top of his best mortgage rate. We're getting a house in phoenix now. Without any hesitation, we're coming back to Lynn again for his excellent mortgage service. We'd recommend Lynn to anyone who is buying/selling a house or doing a refinance loan.

Lynn is wonderful to work with. He's helped us and other family and friends on multiple transactions. Lynn truly has the clients' interest in mind by trying to seek the best rates when refinancing. The process went smoothly each time and we were able to save significantly on fees and overall rates. He also worked closely with our real estate agent when we were purchasing our home. She was highly complimentary of him. Lynn is highly responsive, works well with other parties, and is very knowledgeable. We highly recommend working with him on your next real estate transaction!

A special shoutout to Lynn, my incredible real estate agent in the Bay Area! Lynn's dedication, knowledge, and personalized approach made buying my first home a fantastic experience. His attention to detail and commitment to finding the right property truly set him apart. I'm grateful for Lynn's expertise and support throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a top-notch real estate agent, Lynn is the one to trust!

Lynn isn't just a realtor, he's a real estate wizard. He: *Listens like a champ: Got all my house quirks and dream details. No judgin', just pure understanding. *Texts back faster than lightning: Always there for questions, big or small. Never felt lost in the process. *Tech whiz: Online tours, digital offers, the whole shebang. Saved me tons of time (and paper cuts!). Thanks for everything, Lynn! You're the best !

I can't say enough good things about Lynn and his team! They're the real deal when it comes to real estate. I recently sold my home and bought a new one through them, and it was a fantastic experience. From the get-go, they made the whole selling process a breeze. Their marketing strategy was on point, and my house sold faster than I ever thought possible, and for a great price. Plus, they helped me secure a mortgage loan for my new place, and I got an amazing deal. What really sets them apart is how they treat their customers. They were always there to answer my questions and guide me through every step of the process. Their team made me feel like a valued client, and their communication was excellent. Their expertise, friendly service, and all-in-one approach make them a five-star choice.

We had the pleasure of working with Lynn for the purchase of our current home, a process that spanned several years due to the challenges posed by the pandemic. Throughout the entire journey, Lynn consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism and unwavering support. He exhibited a deep understanding of our needs and showcased remarkable adaptability when our plans inevitably shifted. Lynn's commitment to helping us through the complexities of the real estate market was evident, and his ability to seamlessly adjust his approach to accommodate our changing circumstances was truly commendable. I highly recommend Lynn, especially if you appreciate a realtor who values thorough research and exploration over hasty decision-making. With Lynn, you can trust that your home-buying experience will be handled with expertise and care.

This is my first time buying a house and looking for an agent myself. I was a bit skeptical about agents at first since I took some real estate classes and heard horror stories about them. I also interviewed quite a few agents myself, and many of them showed little or no interest in working with me when I told them that I am looking for a house in the 500k range. Lynn, on the other hand, is a very patient and dedicated agent. He is honest and very willing to work with me. The most important aspect is that he knows the market very well. It took me over 2 months to find a house and Lynn drove me to view no less than 15 houses during this time. I never felt any pushing or rushing from Lynn to get it over with. He also got me a loan with the best interest rate on the market. I would not hesitate to go with him again in any of my future purchases and would highly recommend him to any one looking for a real estate agent or loan officer.

We worked with Lynn several times and we trust him! His insightful CMA and strategic offering help us make the right decisions - we bought our house with a very satisfying price. Additionally we want to call out his deep understanding on both loan process and property markets, which makes the whole process smooth and pleasant!

Lynn is our buyer/seller agent. He help us buying three houses and selling one apartment. Every time We are satisfied with his service. He is very professional and meticulous, always pointing out the shortcomings of the house to you. Loans are the same. I always come to him and he is very responsible, which makes us feel at ease.

Worked with Lynn on 4 transactions on both purchases and sale sides. He is very friendly to work with and takes true ownership. His work style is relationship-first instead of transactional. Lynn and his team is very detail oriented and makes real estate transaction very easy. You can always count on him to catch everything that's possibly concerning and have a peace of mind. Highly recommend!

All of my home loans have been helped by Lynn promptly. This includes my multiple new loans and multiple refinancing. I think there are three main differences between him and other loan officers：1- Thinking Like a Partner, Not a Salesperson2- Explaining the Process with Clarity3- Responsive and ReliableBTW, I am in LA.

I have worked with Lynn on 3 transactions and a few refinances. He is great and very straightforward with his analysis and expert opinion. There is never any pressure. You feel you are in control with final decisions and he definitely helps you make an informed decision in your best interests. Highly recommend!

Lynn and his team are top notch experts all around. In recent years Lynn worked with us and our friends by referral and helped us get our dream houses within a short period of time. His great professionalism and deep understanding to every aspect about housing, loaning etc., are simply unparalleled. We'd love to work with Lynn and his team again, and definitely refer him to our friends for future housing needs!

Lynn was the agent when we purchased our current residence in the west bay. He was professional, well networked, patient, and above all, honest! He will certainly be our agent for our next house.

Lynn helped us purchasing our house back in 2012, he was our realtor and loan agency. He is professional, knowledgable and relaiable, we could not be happier with our purchase

Lynn is a strategic thinker and thoughtful partner, we sold our home and bought new one both with Lynn, and recommended a number of our friends to work with him as well. Highly recommend!
