Testimonials about Dorothy

“We had a busy schedule, but Dorothy was able to accommodate us at nearly any time. She is an excellent researcher and always provided a wealth of additional comps and information about every house we expressed interest in. When we were finally ready to make an offer on a house, she was able to help us through a very competitive bid to win the contract and close on the house.

This is the 5th house I've bought and have worked with many realtors for both buying and selling. Dorothy is by far the best I've worked with. She is knowledgeable, efficient, detail oriented, thorough, and kind. She listens and adapts to what you need and makes sure you get it.” –John P.

“Having read many stories about how hard it can be to buy a place in bay area, I prepared for a tough battle. However, I was lucky enough to meet Dorothy. She guided me hand by hand throughout my buying process. She is professional, knowledgeable, proactive, responsive and warm hearted. With her help, I won on the very first offer I ever put. As a first time buyer, this was way beyond my expectation. Dorothy is very compassionate. She always thinks from my stand point. She's really concerned about what I'm concerned about. This makes me feel that she's not just an agent but someone who is part of my family. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.” –Lei Z.

“First is to help us set up right market expectation. We were experiencing frustration in house hunting for a while, partially due to the gap between our pricing model and the (crazy) bay area market. She encouraged us and mentally prepared us during our first meeting. She is very knowledgeable about the south bay area, and is very good at finding right comparative properties and performing market analysis. We felt much more comfortable after discussing with her. It turned out that we finally got our dream house, I can’t image this being accomplished without her!

We were so much impressed by her superior communication skills. She proactively connected with the listing agent and our loan agent to make sure everything was secured. And kept us involved throughout the bidding process. She always makes her available to us from early morning to evening, all our questions were taken care of in a timely manner. Many clients of Dorothy highlighted her willingness and effort to go the extra miles, which I would definitely agree with. Her service does not end with the completion of deal. She is continuously providing us great suggestion on remodeling, landscaping, and giving referrals. All these are extremely helpful.” –Y. Xu

“We worked with Dorothy Liu to purchase our home in Los Altos Hills, California. Dorothy was a tenacious advocate for us throughout the buying process. We retained Dorothy after finding a home that was perfect for us but priced too high. Dorothy advised us on how to approach the offer and negotiated for us over the course of weeks to ultimately close the deal over $500K under the original asking price. Despite the deal almost falling apart numerous times, Dorothy’s commitment and dedication made it happen. We are very thankful for her work!” – S.W. & S.W.

“Dorothy made the process extremely easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don’t. On the night before we made the offer, she stayed up for 2 hours explaining each portion of the paperwork to me. She even spoke with our mortgage consultant and directly managed the handoff of paperwork from him. When our offer was accepted we were blown away. Her hard work and knowledge of what it takes to buy a home really paid off. I will be recommending Dorothy Liu to everyone I know. She is a true professional and a genuinely nice person. The process of buying a new home is not easy, but there won’t be anyone so dedicated to making it better than Dorothy Liu.” – Apoorva D.

“Dorothy is a very knowledgeable and responsible agent. Actually she is the best agent I have ever worked together. I would highly recommend her to others.” –A. Young

“Dorothy was extremely detail oriented in assisting me with my home purchase. I really didn't know what was involved with buying a house but she walked me through it step by step, pointing out the things we needed to look for and what we should be careful of. By the time it came to making the purchase, I had a lot of confidence that I understood the issues that the house had. She helped me put together a well calculated offer based on the prices of homes in the area. After the offer was accepted she continued to be very detail oriented spotting extra fees that were being mistakenly applied by the title company and helping to negotiate fair compensation for a few things that a build inspection revealed.

Throughout the entire process her communication was excellent with frequent calls and emails to me and with the other parties. She also gave a lot of good tips for a first time home owner to make what I expected to be a big overwhelming step in life into a fairly simple transaction. “ –Ian C.

“We were incredibly lucky to have Dorothy Liu represent us as a buying agent when searching for a new home in the peninsula. Dorothy is experienced, professional, and anticipates bottlenecks during the transaction process to ensure everything goes smoothly. With her assistance, we were able to move into our home three days before an already aggressive close date.

Additionally, Dorothy handled the changing parameters of our home search with patience. She guided us through the options at each price range, helped us settle on acceptable property specifications, and then searched with us to find suitable properties. Moreover, Dorothy put up with many late-night emails and phone calls to answer every question we had. We were pleased with the level of service and would seek out Dorothy for subsequent real estate transactions. Likewise, we would recommend her to other potential homebuyers.” –Tim J.

“Dorothy helped us buy a home in Los Gatos. In the red hot bay area real estate market, it would not have been possible if it weren't for Dorothy's help. She is the best real estate agent we have worked with. She is not only hard working, very knowledgeable about the area and the buying/selling processes, she absolutely has our best interest in mind. She went out of her way to help us so many times before and after we bought. She just cared so much about our purchase and wanted to make sure we did everything right and got the right outcomes. Thank you so much Dorothy for doing all you did for us.” –Jean W.

Throughout the long and arduous search for our dream home, Dorothy took us on tours, showed us homes, ran comps, market analysis, helped research schools and neighborhoods… the list goes on.

Dorothy always goes the extra mile, she was always available to take our calls and answer our questions. She took care of every little detail throughout the entire process.

My wife and I were astounded by the amount of effort that Dorothy put into our transaction both professionally and personally. She is a very energetic person and applied that energy and then some to our situation. She took us on tours, gathered our input and searched for just the right neighborhood, house design, price we were looking for. And within just a couple of weeks, she found just the right home for us at a more than reasonable price. We would unconditionally recommend Dorothy with the highest commendation.” -Mike & Linda W.

“Dorothy guided us through the entire process, from searching for houses and developing strategies for placing offers, to making the offer and closing the deal. Despite the competitive market in the Lynbrook area before the summer, we successfully purchased our home within two months from the start. We credit Dorothy with a smooth, pleasurable home-buying experience.

In addition to her professional knowledge, Dorothy is a pleasant and helpful person to work with. She did everything possible in order to accommodate our needs and was extremely responsive to our questions and needs. Particularly remarkable were those long meetings where we stayed up until midnight discussing the market, and reviewing and going over the paperwork.

Dorothy is savvy, personable, and professional. We highly recommend Dorothy Liu and will undoubtedly use her services again in the future.” -Daniel & Daisy L.

“We appreciated your patience, guidance and good spirits throughout our long search. While we were frustrated and sick of looking, you were steady and encouraging, though never pushy. I am sure you thought we were a bit crazy but you were even kind enough to not tell us!

Today I meet so few people that are in business and that worry about taking good care of their clients. You are one that does for sure. Someday we will be ready to get another house, or maybe to sell this one, and when we do I know we will definitely look you up. You can be our Realtor for Life.” -Bill & Nancy K.
