Sophia was very helpful and responsive to assisting my family in finding our first home. She was able to guide us through the buying process. She stayed on top of the documents and inspections that needed to be provided through the buying process. She will let you know her opinion if you are getting the value for the money.
Sophia took me on a tour of a beautiful Alameda property that had just come onto the market. It was definitely a property that fit the "wish list" she and I had discussed. Sophia has been a longtime resident of Alameda and I very much appreciate her familiarity with the island. She is very driven and professional, ready to help you find(.)

Sophia helped us find our new home in Alameda, CA. From start to finish she was the friend, advisor and expert we could rely on. She not only helped us with her local knowledge (which is par excellence) but also helped execute all the complex steps involved in completing the whole process once our offer was accepted.
Sophia was incredible throughout every step of the house-hunting (and eventually house-buying) process. She stuck with us for 3 years, never pushing for a sale until we had found the perfect house. It was clear throughout the process that she always wanted what was best for our family, not her bottom line.

Sophia is simply AMAZING!
The reviews almost seem too good to be true, but I can say from first-hand experience that the very positive reviews you might have read are right!
Sophia and her team helped my sisters and me sell our mother's duplex home in Alameda. In just 3 weeks, they completely redesigned and remodeled our kitchen (down to the studs), refinished the floors, painted the whole interior, and put a lawn in the backyard. All of this at a reasonable cost.
To get this done, Sophia and Jen put together mood boards and a detailed plan for the remodel. After the work was complete

Look no further, friend. I was in your position just a couple months ago, reading all her great yelp reviews and thinking, if it was all true. Rest assured - Sophia is THE agent you want on your side!

We survived the height of the pandemic in a 1 bedroom apartment and needed more space after living a decade in the city.

My wife and I started preparing to purchase our first home this Summer. As first time home buyers, we had a ton of questions, confusion, and an element of terror in approaching the Bay Area housing market. We called several real estate agents after looking up reviews online for professionals that serviced Alameda.
After talking to Sophia on the phone just once, we could tell that the glowing reviews for her online were honest and true. She effortlessly handled all of our questions, provided great information and answers, and had a very approachable and friendly communication style that made discussing

Sophia was first referred to us almost 4 years ago by a coworker who successfully purchased a home in Alameda. We moved to Berkeley then but after outgrowing our home in Berkeley decided to use Sophia's services for our new home in Alameda nearly 3 years later. Sophia was very engaging and actively listened to our wishes and feedback about the type of home and neighborhood we wanted. She was very good at profiling our needs and what would fit in today's market. Her wealth of experience and knowledge really stood out as all our questions were thoughtfully answered. We saw a wide range

When it came time to sell our house in May 2021, we contacted a few realtors. At the time, we were under contract on a house out of state and had plans to travel for the summer, so we needed someone that we could trust to handle everything on the ground here. One of them was very challenging to get an appointment with, another one was very good but we wanted someone local to Alameda and when we met with Sophia and her designer we knew we’d be in good hands. Sophia was responsive and we were able to get an initial meeting with her the week we reached out. They came to our house, walked around

We worked with Sophia to find an AMAZING house in Alameda. She helped us navigate this crazy Bay Area market, and provided a much needed local perspective and network with all the other local agents. On top of all that, Sophia worked with us to turn around and sell our old house immediately after closing on the new one. Through no fault of Sophia, the sale got a bit complicated and I can honestly say I'm not sure we would have gotten through it all without the constant guidance, help, and overall "trust the process and stay the course" type support that she provided us.

A heartfelt thank you to Sophia Niu and her team for making the selling of our home well thought out and seamless from listing to close. I would highly recommend Sophia and her knowledge of real estate on the Island of Alameda. She is a true professional and deserves the title of Alameda's top agent!

Sophia's steady, professional approach and clear communication helped to make a highly stressful home purchase go smoothly. My purchase was tricky with a short timeline and lots of unexpected hurdles, and Sophia led me all the way to the end with professionalism and dedication. She knows the market, understands people, and navigates complex negotiations with confidence, wisdom, and respect. I feel lucky to have found her.

I hired Sophia to list my house this past summer, after hearing great things from a neighbor who sold their house with her and has amazing results. Sophia had a great vision of how to upgrade the house and property. When you hire Sophia you also get a collaborative team including an interior designer, contractor, photographer, and stager. I’m so glad I took her recommendations for improvements, as our house sold quickly and at the top of the market. The whole experience was great, Sophia managed everything effectively, communicated well and regularly, and took charge of nearly everything. We

I had reached out to a couple of agents in anticipation of selling my home, and Sophia was by-far the most responsive and communicative from the get-go, and had a clear plan and deep knowledge of the market, so it was an easy choice to go with her.
Sophia made the home selling process super easy and straightforward from beginning to end. She chose awesome vendors to prepare the home for sell, she coordinated everything expertly, she was very responsive, she took the time to explain and answer whenever I had questions or concerns. She deftly managed the process in a way that made me feel at ease

After interviewing several realtors and considering personal recommendations, we decided to go with Sophia and her amazing team. She was well researched and provided great pricing, listing, etc. strategies. She also came up with a comprehensive design plan to really make the house pop. Selling my house during Covid and during a move could have been stressful, but Sophia is such a great leader that she made everything happen seamlessly. We really enjoyed working with Sophia and her designer: they were fun, inspiring, highly knowledgeable, and great communicators. I can't recommend Sophia enough

We were drawn to Sophia after reading her rave reviews online of being an expert in the Alameda market. We reached out to her while we were traveling and she, too, was also traveling yet took the time to talk with us and we were immediately comfortable with her. The Alameda market is/has been insane and we knew we needed someone who was well connected on the island, after we'd been mishandled by another agent. A listed popped up at 2pm, we were the first people to see it at 4pm, and we submitted an offer by 6pm. We loved the home and knew upon walking into it, that it was the one we wanted

Sophia Niu is an amazing real estate agent offering high-touch, white-glove service that went above and beyond expectations. We literally moved out, handed her the keys, and she took care of coordinating everything -- a minor kitchen renovation, replacing fixtures, painting, staging, landscaping, photography, and more.
Sophia and her team (shout out to Jen McAnaney) advised us on what improvements we should make to our house that would make a big impact and would return a meaningful ROI. We came up with a plan, stayed below budget, and stayed on time.

We recently purchased a home with Sophia. Yep, like so many others in the Bay Area we decided a global pandemic was the perfect time to buy a home. While the timing presented some challenges, Sophia made the process easy. We have worked off and on with Sophia for more than a year and she has shown enormous patience. After taking a long break from looking, she got in touch with us about a great property off-market. Done! It was our first offer. We had a 21 day close with absolutely no challenges or hiccups.

Do you remember that scene in Endgame? Thanos, having both traveled through time and dispatched most of the Avengers either with his (i) daughter, (ii) ship or (iii) fists is pummelling fat Thor. Mid-pummel, though, Thanos gets absolutely hammered (you see what I did there?) by Mjolnir. Now, like the rest of the theater at that moment, I wasn't breathing because, I mean - FatThor's getting straight up housed by the mad Titan, so how's Mjolnir doing anything?! Can Thor mind control Mjolnir now? Is this some sort of wack Disney/Jedi crossover?

Another seamless partnership of awesomeness. Sophia was spectacular in helping us sell our home. Three years ago, she helped us find it. When the time came to sell, we knew that there was only one choice in realtor.
She knows Alameda like the back of her hand. She also knows the market like no other. She came in with a strategy and executed it flawlessly. What an amazing experience. Oh how we wish every realtor was as amazing as Sophia Niu. She is amazingly responsive. Any time we had a question, she was there to answer it.
We packed up our home and cleared everything out. She did ALL the legwork
