Marie Chao

She sets the bar so high, no amount of praise is enough praise for Marie!

The prospect of purchasing your first home is as daunting as it is exciting. I became a first-time home owner in October 2014 and I am grateful each day that Marie was the one who walked me through that process and held my hand every step of the way.

Marie is a powerhouse of knowledge. Not only is she a bona fide expert in her field, she brings an impassioned, deeply sensitive, and humanistic approach to an experience that can feel complex and stressful. I was going through tremendous changes professionally and when

Marie is not only an amazing and extremely knowledgeable realtor, but she is also patient as a saint. We recently had to move my elderly father and prepare his home of 40 years for sale. Marie treated him with utmost respect and dignity, walking him through the laborious process with ease.

Marie is one of only a few realtors with expertise in AND around san francisco. She was able to recommend different contractors to help get the house ready for sale (and made sure we looked at others for price comparison as well), and even helped us navigate the very difficult processes of preparing a home

Marie recently helped my husband and I sell our second home. She was current with the requirements of the city and county and keep everyone on both sides of the sale moving forward to meet deadlines for closing. The requests for documentation were complete and she left no room for error with her approach to double checking everything along the way. We would recommend Marie to any of our family or friends to help with their realtor needs.
As already mentioned by other reviews, she is fast with response and professional and passionate about her role in your home-buyer or seller needs.

Working with Marie has been an absolute pleasure. As a first time home-buyer, Marie has utilized her vast knowledge of the real estate market and her experience with all parts of the Bay Area to help us find a good home. She helped us navigate a very complicated process and made everything seamless for us. She was also very accommodating with our schedule and particular needs as out-of-state clients.

I was particularly happy with her fast response times to our questions and inquiries into particular properties. The east coast-west coast time difference was not an issue for Marie as she was

We worked with Marie to help us look for homes to buy. We didn't have the biggest budget, but we felt like she treated us as her most important client. She was always reachable, had terrific advice on the region and how to get the right house with our budget, and helped us see all the options. Marie knows the entire Bay Area region well and helped us tremendously. Very professional and and dedicated--and recommended!

We used Marie as our property manager for a year while we were deciding to relocate. Her professionalism and good humor were always present. She was just what we needed; helpful and flexible in handling all sorts of the strange things that happen when your house is being used by others. When we decided to sell, we had no doubts. Let's call Marie! We no longer lived in the Bay Area so we needed extra help in getting our house ready to sell. Marie took it all in stride and then some. She looked after every detail and was fierce as a bulldog in defending our interests. The maze of contractors

Marie is the best realtor I've worked with and looking forward to using her services again in the future. My partner and i where moved back to the bay area from Australia and she made the home buying process easy and stress free. She worked around our tight schedules and showed us dozens of homes. Her attention to detail was evident the moment we walked through each home. Small imperfections that we overlooked, Marie noticed and pointed out. She's a great people person and asks the right questions to understand what the buyer wants and needs to make the process efficient. I always

I highly recommend Marie's services. She has been extremely thorough and accommodating throughout the process of selling our home. At all points in the process, Marie clearly presents all the options and potential implications, and makes us feel like we are making the most informed decision possible. Having dealt with many agents and brokers in the past, Marie's integrity is truly appreciated.

Marie has extensive knowledge of today's real estate landscape, including trickier transactions, such as short sales. She has gone above and beyond the call of duty for us, and we are truly

Marie is one of those realtors who find their clients largely by word-of-mouth. I have been looking around for houses with Marie on and off during the last 10+ months, and Marie has taken me on about a dozen house-viewing trips. She has always been very honest. As a matter of fact on several occasions she was the one who talked me out of some expensive mistakes. She'd point to the cracks on the driveway and tell you it's NOT what normal foundation settlement should look like. I should point out that's the most expensive house I had considered thus far. She'd also tell you not

In working with Marie, she is very personable and professional. I recommend her with high confidence. I am very happy with all that she has provided me in terms of knowledge and research. Also, her business is quite unique in the way she has everything ala carte so that things can be mixed and matched to best aid us the consumers.
