Why Choose to Work With Deborah?

Born and raised in China by my mother who was a teacher and my father who was an Army officer, I have always set the bar high in my professional and personal life. Having grown up with younger siblings, my caring nature and desire to help others came shining through. Whether I'm spending time with my family, or reading a good book before bed or jump-starting my day at the gym in the morning, I embrace life and my motivating personality is hard to miss.

I have been very successful selling in the Bay Area real estate markets, and have built quite a reputation with my ability to provide the most up-to-date industry information and get results in a short time frame. I have helped clients who buy and sell in the east and south bay area communities including Fremont, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Danville, San Jose, Cupertino and other cities. I keep clients informed of the latest trends and market conditions so I can guide them in making the right choices. Many of my buyer, seller, and relocation clients were referred to me by happy past clients.

A long time resident in the San Francisco East Bay Area since 1992 and Fremont resident since 1996, I have a unique perspective and approach to life - it's almost as if life is an experience to be embraced. I know property value intimately, and am very familiar with local schools, recreation, shopping, transportation, and other information of interest to a home owner.

My previous work in environmental consulting and marketing gives me an edge when it comes to helping you buy or sell real estate. A former marketing manager, I take my marketing plans to a new level with innovative ideas that help maximize clients' return on their investment. Utilizing my knowledge in marketing and finance, stemming from an MBA, I view each transaction from a business perspective. My finance background shines in helping both buyers and sellers explore different investment options. Taking care of my client's needs takes priority.

My clients rely on me for preparing their homes for sale before they are put on the market. I truly care about my clients and know that their success depends on the important information I present regarding their home sale or purchase. And I am committed to my listings showing at their best and being strategically priced. That's why I listen carefully and am committed to going above and beyond to research and organize information in a concise manner that my clients can easily understand.

Happy Past Clients Speak Out ---

"Deborah helped us to both sell our Union City townhouse and buy our new house. Throughout the process we appreciated Deborah's professionalism and prompt availability. Because of her attention to detail we were able to sell our townhouse in 3 days - from the day of our first meeting to the day we accepted the offer. She knew how to market our property to stand out from the rest, from suggesting a staging consultant, taking the right pictures, to highlighting the best features of the property, which were critical in getting a quick sale even in a down market. Deborah also showed tremendous patience in the 3 years it took us to buy our new house. Throughout the period she was promptly available to show us homes and answer our questions. Because of Deborah, our experience in real estate was smooth, productive and enjoyable."

"Dear Deborah, How are you? We are very happy about our Fremont Ardenwood house that was just recently sold. It seems to us it is a dream finally came true. And we would like to share our experience with you in the past months while you were helping us to get our house ready for the market. We remember the first time we met you in our house, the way you propose to us was so professional that make us to choose you as our Realtor right then. We had a bad experience in the past, and we believe this is why the house was not sold a few years ago. Last time, we feel very stressed because the agent was very difficult to contact. He never called back and never updated us with any progress. We were never told about staging the house, cutting the tree in the front, etc. And we did it this time with your advise, and it DOES make our house look a lot more appealing. Now we understand the keys to sell a house is to find a good Realtor. We will recommend you to our friends and relatives if they need a Realtor in the future. Thank you very much, and hope you enjoy your trip!"

"Deborah Dai is a very professional, knowledgeable and reliable agent in handling the real estate transaction. I found her credential from the Internet while I was searching for an agent to sell my property located in Merced, in Central Valley. She willingly provided information that I needed to make decision for selling my property even before I signed the contract with her. Since she is very resourceful in marketing the property at the right time and right price, I was able to get multiple offers in less than two weeks.

Though she was on vacation during the sale process, she managed to handle the process without any unncessary delay. She listened and acknowleged my concerns and offered advice based on her personal experience. Her sincerity and friendliness still keep me in touch with her though I don't have any more business related function with her.

I've always recommended Deborah to anyone who is looking for a house or planning to sell a property either in Bay Aea or in Central Valley. Well done, Deborah!"

" Dear Deborah:

It has been a number of months since you sold my Aunt Gertrude's home in Mission San Jose area, Fremont, CA. Now that I am close to finalizing the distribution of her estate, I wanted to thank you for the professional way you handled this sale.

From the very start of the process, you showed a special interest in the property, and gave me an honest opinion of both the positive and negative attributes of the home. Although my cousin had successfully dealt with another agent in the same area, the presentation you prepared far exceeded the one given to me by this person.

I was impressed at how quickly you pointed out the exact location of each of those comparable homes so I could drive by and evaluate them. As the various inspections were performed, problems with the roof and some mildew damage surfaced. You were so helpful in finding competent sub-contractors that quickly fixed the problems.

I enjoyed working with you. If I can be of any help in recommending you to anyone, please have them call me. Thank you again.

Sincerely,"

~Lenard E, Green Valley, CA

"... Deborah listed and sold our Union City home in record time. She has incredible knowledge of ‘presentation' and gave us some wonderful, yet simple, ideas on how to make a home attractive to buyers. It was great to watch peoples' reactions to our home; even old friends were amazed at the difference.

Deborah did not just rely on the multiple listing and open houses to get exposure for our home. She has an incredible network in place for personally informing and following up with other realtors about the homes she is marketing. And that proved to be the most effective way to get our home sold. We would strongly recommending her service to our friends..."

~Jerry & Betty S, Oroville, CA

" ...The moment I decided to sell my home in Fremont, my first priority was to make the transaction as quick as possible. With Deborah Dai as my agent, I sold my home in three weeks - obviously she really knows how to sell fast especially in the bay area market. She was always avialable for any clarifications and her commitment to selling our home quickly was evident from the first day we met. She made the process of sellingour first home completely easy and painless. We would recommend her services to anyone selling or buying a home."

~Jayanth P, Newark, CA

" Dear Deborah:

I just want to send you a thank you note regarding our business relationship in the sale of our home. Your expertise in the area of real estate really helped us sell our Union City, CA home quickly and at a price beyond our expectation. Again, thanks so much for your help.

Sincerely,"

"To Whom It May Have Concern:

Ms. Deborah Dai recently sold our house in Newark, CA, which was in a gated community of 50 homes. Although two other homes were on the market at the time our home was listed and another home was listed shortly after ours, our home was the first to sell. The terms were beneficial to us, and we were very happy with Ms. Dai's work to sell the home.

Ms. Dai got maximum exposure for our house by immediately listing it on Multiple Listing Service and scheduling multiple open houses. She did not hesitate to cooperate closely with other brokers, within and outside her office. We felt that during the time our house was on the market it was being seen by many buyers.

Throughout the process, Ms. Dai was proactive in resolving problems and communicating with us. We were already living more than an hour away from the property, and she scheduled and attended several home maintenance and inspection appointments at very short notice. We had many questions about the process, and every time we phoned her we were able to speak with her very quickly.

Again, we were very happy with the service we received, and we highly recommend Ms. Dai for any real estate transactions."

"Deborah:

Just a note to let you know how thankful I am that I selected you to sell my house in Fremont, CA. As an absentee owner, it was important to me that my sales person was available to oversee the property and to answer any questions I may have had.

Your professional attitude and willingness to go out of your way to help me was greatly appreciated and helped to sell my property fast. Good luck to you in the future.

Sincerely,"
