Brian was very professional. He set realistic expectations and delivered above and beyond. He worked with amazing speed. He took care of a lot of minor fixes and touch ups even before we knew! He was always available to answer our questions. He was very resourceful in finding people to get stuff done
The whole process was very smooth with very little effort from our side.
We would highly recommend Brian’s services to anyone, especially if they want to worry as little as possible!

Brian represented us with the sale of our home. His counseling regarding preparation of the home for sale as well as knowledge of buyer preferences was invaluable. With current changing market conditions, he worked diligently to achieve a speedy sale and very successful purchase price.

Summary: Great experience with Brian buying a house in the Evergreen area of San Jose, strongly recommend.
The Full Story:
We met Brian at an Open House and, without any commitment from us, he started trying to match our needs with a house. We were impressed with his diligence, attempt to understand us and openness so we went with him as our agent. It took us awhile to find a house so we had a lot of house visits with Brian and some of the things we appreciated included:
- Area Knowledge: In an advantage over the online services, Brian frequently had the tip on homes prepping to sell. In a

We reached out to Block Change because of their stellar reputation, and from our first meeting we knew we were in the right hands. Things could not have gone more smoothly when Brian sold our home for us this past July. He and his team coordinated and scheduled every service necessary to get our home to market. No detail was overlooked. Brian responded quickly to all of our questions, knew exactly the right price to list at, and brought us multiple excellent offers one week later. We were ecstatic. The stress of selling our home while preparing for an out of state move to a home under construction

We worked with Brian in finding our new house. Brian is very knowledgeable, patient and very professional. He gave us very honest feedback on every house we saw. He is highly responsive and knows the nuances of real estate . He is extremely resourceful and responsive. He never forced us into buying a property in rush . We had a great experience working with Brian and I would highly recommend him.

We had the pleasure of working with Brian as a home seller. We interviewed a few agents, but Brian stood out in his experience, knowledge of the area, negotiation skills, and just overall service. Brian responded to all of our calls, texts, questions promptly any time of the day. Block Change has a great team! We lived in our home for over 20 years, and their team helped us get it sale ready within weeks. With multiple offers, Brian managed to get us top dollar and keep the process as stress free as possible. I cannot recommend Brian and Block Change enough...we hope to use them again soon as a

My wife and I own and operate a Real Estate photography company so when it comes to listing our home, we have many options since we know quite a bit of highly qualified and dependable team to help us list our home and to get us the best results. Since our home is located in at the base of the Evergreen Community and we know Brian and Thao of Blockchange is the team we want to list with. From their marketing, distinct community knowledge, clear and quick communication, and transparent over-asking results, these are the reasons why we chose to list with the team. We are very happy with the results

We worked with Brian on the sale of our house and he was very knowledgeable about the area and made recommendations that helped guide us in the right areas. Brian is extremely responsive and very available for any questions at any time (even late nights). He is also very professional and great to work with. Only one area of suggestion was we felt we got the responses of the questions we asked, but sometimes we didn’t know what questions to ask or the process and that could have been better explained.
All in all, Brian/Block change will always be our first choice in real estate matters.

Brian has undoubtedly been the best realtor I have worked with.
I have worked with couple of realtors before and had very bad experiences. Brian's approach is always reasonable and based on the current market. He is always direct with his approach and does not over sell and more importantly does not pressure or push you.
Brian understands the anxiety of a first time home buyer and has been very responsive throughout the entire home buying process. He always attends my calls, replies to messages and get me required information on time. He helped us in the offer process making sure we do not

I would not have gotten the house I wanted without Brian's help.
I called him on a Saturday evening about a house in Cupertino I saw that morning and he responded right away by calling the seller's agent to find it it was about to close that night. With his knowledge of the area and relationship with the local agents he was able to help me get the winning bid and close on the house the following morning. Throughout the inspection process whenever someone needed to be at the house for a inspection or review he was always available to go with the reviewers/inspectors when I was busy at

I have known and worked with Brian for over 4 years when he helped me close on my 1st home. My experience working with Brian was truly wonderful. I must have seen about 50 homes before finally closing and Brian went to see each and every home with me. My search took about a year but Brian didn't get tired. There were times when I was willing to pay more just to get done with my search but Brian always made sure we don't offer anything excessive. Brian understands the market really really well. He is able to provide excellent guidance on what are the upcoming areas. He has great taste

Brian is the best realtor I've had the pleasure of working with. I have now bought 2 houses with him and referred several of my friends. I've never met a person who has the hustle that Brian does -- he does his research on the neighborhood, will relentlessly follow-up and get intel from the sellers agent, and he negotiates hard to give his client the best price & terms possible (even in a bull market).

We are grateful to have the opportunities to work with Thao Dang and Brian Ng Real Estate Group. About ten years ago, they helped us purchase a house in Palo Alto. We decided to go with them because of their experience, their wide knowledge of the real estate markets, their assessments, and their approach to buying houses and the bidding process. We had full confidence in their ability to deliver. And deliver they did, beyond our expectation.
We loved their dedication and hard work so much that when we decided to relocate to the Silver Creek Country Club earlier this year, we called on Thao

We are lucky to find a great agent Brian Ng, who helped us get our dream home in 9 days on Oct 2018. Last fall, the market was getting a bit softener already, but since our house is very disable, that's why it's still very hot with multiple offers, Brian took the deal in a very short period of time, he quickly did a lot of research and help us analyze the nearby market, design the negotiation strategies and funding strategies, most importantly he help us with a great cover letter, which really touched the heart of the owners, we eventually beat the other 4 offers and win our dream home

We used Brian to help us with both finding a new home here in the Evergreen area in San Jose as well as sell the current home that we have. Throughout, the experience could not be better. Brian was extremely patient through the whole experience, showing us different homes that fit our budget and our requirements. He also did great work with helping us get a good price for the home that we lived in. Not only that, he also helped connect me with folks to help with financing my home loan as well! In the end, we had a great experience all around and would highly recommend their services to anyone.

I reached out to Thao Dang because of his reputation as an excellent broker with over 25 years of experience. My wife and I sat with him & Brian to discuss a game plane on how to maximize the sale of our home. The process was seamless, Thao provided an extensive analysis of the current market, assisted with professional staging of our home and lastly provided a high quality brochure. Not only did he sell our home, he helped us find the perfect Condo in Silver Creek Valley Country Club. I would recommend Thao and Brian to any of my family & friends.

Over the past 28 years, I have used the services of Principal, Thao Dang, formerly one of Century 21 top realtors. Thao assisted my wife and I with purchasing and selling several homes. We were very satisfied with each transaction.
During the process of purchasing and selling our homes, I observed Thao utilizing the following attributes (Negotiations, Customer Relations, Customer Services & Punctuality). His fairness and integrity is second to none.
I strongly recommend Thao to anyone who is looking to sell or buy residential or commercial property.

Over the last few years I have experienced a bunch of great experiences with great people across the service industry, be it banks, restaurants, luxury resorts, travel companies etc. Home Buying never strikes you as a place where you can have an exceptional experience. It is always linked with stressful times and hard decisions. My wife and I were really surprised with how Brian changed our perception completely. We only had to point at a house and Brian would have all his homework done, visit the house, read through the disclosures, summarise all the good as well as the bad points for any house
