        Spencer is meticulous, thoughtful, organized, driven, and committed to the local community. Check out his series of interviews with local businesses or one of the meetups he organizes on a regular basis if you don't believe me!

        • Spencer helped me buy a home

            Spencer knows a lot about the real estate market. He regularly attends seminars and presentations about market trends and real estate in general; which he doesn't hesitate to relay whatever information he has learned to others. Spencer has been extremely helpful in my search for a home and one of the best things about him is his communication, he always gets back to me quickly no matter how minor my questions or comments are!---Ryan W.

          • Spencer showed me homes

              I've known Spencer for quite some time. If you want someone who is detail-oriented, cares about clients, and organized, no look no further. I would definitely refer Spencer to anyone that I know who may need real estate services. Definitely trust worthy! -Andrew T.

            • Spencer helped me buy a home

                Spencer is a meticulous, honest, and friendly agent. We were able to see how he worked from initial contact to closing. At first we were hesitant to enter the market, but even then, he was professional, responsive, and hard-working. He took the time to understand what we were looking for and was able to point us to houses that would fit within our criteria and realistic budget. He was able to facilitate every step of the way and was always ready to answer any questions we had despite our erratic schedules. He strives for transparency and is not afraid to be frank and bring out potential issues in a home or home pricing. His attention to detail and review of records highlighted several issues with some listings that we would not have even imagined. Furthermore, he helped us to fully understand how varies aspects would play into any bid we made on a house. It's obvious he cares about his clients, takes the time to understand their needs, understands the local community, and has a wealth of professional contacts that help with each step of the home buying process. He is impressively responsive to whatever questions we had, even beyond the scope of purchasing a house. Spencer has definitely earned our trust and gratitude!(Phil H.)

              • Spencer helped me buy a home

                  I was referred to Spencer as I was looking to move to San Jose. I emailed him and within minutes he called and texted me to set up a meet and greet via zoom. I did not know what to expect since its my first time looking for a home. Right when we hopped on the call, he was friendly and did a quick introduction. After that, he started to ask me questions about what I wanted to look for in a place. When I said didn't know, he actually clarifies his questions with examples to help me understand what I really want in a place. The first day was an aggressive day, we went to 6 different places to look. Out of the 6, I liked 2 of them and he provided more information about the properties. When I wanted to check a property again the next day, he said sure and met me there...then a couple of days later when my friend wanted to check out the property, he was there. Spencer works all hours of the night! I would get email updates from him late at night when we were in escrow just to ensure everything is going smooth. I would recommend using him if you need help buying a place. Thanks again Spencer!-An H

                • Spencer helped me buy a home

                    Spencer helped us get our first house! He diligently sent us potential houses that may be suitable for us and patiently went to each and every house we wanted to see (during these trying and difficult times). He discussed with us the pros and cons of the potential houses we visited. Very clear communication lines! He replied to our queries within minutes (even late at night). We got our keys yesterday and cannot wait to build memories in our new home. In one way or another, Spencer was able to make our dream come true. Thank you Spencer; for being with us every single step of the way!-Juan Gabriel A.

                  • Spencer helped me buy a home

                      Spencer helped us recently with a home purchase in Belmont, CA. We were in the market for a nice family home we could raise our daughter in. Spencer was great to work with through the entire process. He was knowledgable on the current market conditions and guided us through a rollercoaster of emotions that come with home buying. He was also very patient with during the highs and lows. Overall Spencer was great to work with as he provided great advise and gave us detailed insight on every potential home. He was also very accessible via phone/text.- David C.

                    • Spencer helped me buy a home

                        Let me start by saying that I usually don't write reviews but I was so pleased with Spencer's service that I felt obliged to. I'm truly lucky to have gotten in touch with Spencer as a real estate agent by chance. I was in talks with two other agents but in the end I chose Spencer. He helped me from start to finish with buying my very first home here in the bay area. He was able to explain the entire process, what to expect, things to look out for, and answer all my questions honestly from the moment we met. He did due diligence in finding and comparing various places I was interested in, assisted in coming up with a fair price through his research and experience, and arranged tours of the place with ease and proper requirements (considering the COVID situation). One of the things I appreciate most is his punctuality - being very responsive and able to get everything together super quick and in time for when I needed it, not to mention the ability to organize and communicate everything effectively. He was truly understanding in meeting my needs and was very thoughtful throughout the entire process. I'd recommend him to my closest friends and family and personally could not be more pleased with my experience with him.(L.C)

                      • I had pleasure to have Spencer navigating me through my journey of purchasing a new home in Milpitas as primary residence. Spencer provided me amazing advisory service and tailored a timeline for me including selling my investment property to fund my new primary residence. The journey went smoothly in every aspect. Spencer is very good at running comparative analysis, for most of the properties I am interested in, he was able to provide a detailed excel spreadsheet with recent data and accurately estimate the final price (+/-$20k). Aside from his great technical knowledge in real estate, Spencer is also very responsive regardless of types of my questions during my home purchasing journey, he was able to answer and escalate my questions as well as proactively provide me with several options at anytime. During the escrow closure process, Spencer was able to project track every single detail of open items and provide constantly reminders to me, this resulted the completion of escrow process without any unexpected surprises. Spencer is a hard working, knowledgeable individual whom excels in bay area's real estate market. If you would like to buy or sell in bay area, don't hesitate reaching out to Spencer!

                      • My wife and I met Spencer right when we were beginning to get serious about buying a house, and we are so glad we did! Spencer was invaluable at each step in our process. First he took the time to educate us about each step in the process, helped us refine our search criteria, and taught us how to get alerted about properties we would be interested in. At times we would state an assumption and Spencer would patiently and respectfully provide a counter point and give us data to help us become more educated. Spencer is selfless with his time. Any time we needed something he was there. He also brings a high level of data and knowledge to help his clients make the best choices. Whether we were running comps, making strategic offers, or assessing a house, we always felt like we had an edge with Spencer. I would highly recommend Spencer for any real estate needs. He is an expert in this field, intelligent, good with people, and one of the hardest workers I have ever met.

                      • My husband and I just got the keys to our first house thanks to Spencer! Throughout the whole homebuying process, he answered any questions we had, provided comparables for any house we were interested in, and made himself available whenever we needed him. He made the experience straightforward and stress-free. If a house seemed out of our price range, too competitive, or had any red flags, he was honest and let us know. There was never a lack of communication with him. He's very knowledgable about real estate and works really hard at any hour as needed (though we made sure not to bug him too early or late). We definitely recommend him for anyone who needs a real estate agent!

                      • We have nothing but a great experience with Spencer. He was very professional and polite from the very beginning. All our questions were adequately answered, and he never failed to provide relevant advice and information related to our house. Another thing we appreciate was his kind gestures of providing promising companies that can help us with our renovations. We purchased a fixer-upper, and he was very helpful to all our inquiries included "Where can I put our washer and dryer?" If you love data, you will enjoy seeing Spencer's spreadsheet loaded with information that can help you decide your purchase price. I highly recommend him. His professional service made our American dream of owning our first home a reality. This market is competitive, but with his guidance, we managed to get through it. Spencer, we hope you will help more families in the future. May the road rise to meet you. Thank you for all the outstanding work you have done for us.

                      • I had a great experience buying my first condo in the US thanks to Spencer. He was like the friend I needed that knew the ins and outs of real estate, listened to what I was looking for, and kept an eye out for me. I could reach him at any time to get his thoughts on places I was interested in. I mostly went to open houses myself, but when I found one I really liked, Spencer would arrange a private tour to talk about it in person. I decided to make an offer on the second condo that we toured and he guided me through the process. He provided comparables for a price reference and was honest when we discussed how much to bid, giving his thoughts on the competition without being pushy. While the first offer we made was not accepted, I ultimately was able to buy an even better place. I loved the layout and the views when I saw it online, but it was already in contract at that time. About a month later Spencer got wind that it had fallen out of contract and set me up with a virtual tour right away (due to coronavirus). I was going to make an offer for 10k above asking, but he advised me that we could win the bid at asking price. And he was right! Compared to the previous contract price, I got it for 50k less! The closing process was not as smooth as it could have been because of errors in the appraisal and delays in confirming the loan. Spencer helped to get those issues sorted out and in the end we got it done. Overall I'm very happy with how things turned out, and I would gladly recommend Spencer to my friends and family!

                      • Spencer reached out to me over social media. I had been considering selling my condo and appreciated his initiative, so I set up an initial call. When the pandemic hit, I thought it was the right time to sell. Others advised me that trying to sell during a pandemic would be disaster and I should just sit and wait. I'm not risk adverse, so I was happy that Spencer was ready to make the leap with me! Short story...after pivoting to use virtual tools as much as possible, combined with Spencer hustling to accommodate private showings as soon as they became available (which we were well positioned to do since we acted early in the pandemic and now there was an inventory shortage), I received a full-ask offer within a couple of weeks. As I type this, the condo sale closed last week, and I've been investing my profits much to my benefit. To be honest, I haven't worked with many real estate agents as a seller, so I don't have a huge baseline for comparison. Based on my experience, here are the unvarnished pros and cons. Cons: Slightly more self scheduling/coordination for repair, cleaning, etc. than *I* expected. Again, this may be typical and I admit I lack experience with this part. Spencer definitely made the connections, and the actual effort on my part was minimal, so this isn't much of a con. Pros: Here's the good stuff! Spencer takes a more holistic approach both from an economics and social perspective, taking into account various factors affecting the market, and all avenues in making connections. He does his homework, he's aware of trends. He responds at all hours. He's highly motivated. He's tech savvy. He's willing to drive up and down the whole Bay area. He's super nice on top of it! In short, I highly recommend Spencer. I took a chance with him and don't regret it. Go ahead ahead and contact him, or at least check out his YouTube or join one of his virtual Happy Hours. I doubt you will regret it either. Happy house hunting/selling!

                      • My experience with Spencer Hsu as a seller was seamless, start to finish. I responded to Spencer's letter of inquiry for clients looking for a home, and appreciated his approach, professionalism, and candor from the onset. Selling my home of the past 14 years where I raised my son, the ideal hope for me was to work closely with an agent to find a well suited buyer. I got that working with Spencer, we communicated easily and openly related to details, he brought his clients, and within days we were in escrow. There were no hitches or glitches throughout the process, which is the role of an attentive agent; I've learned that having personally been at one end or the other of over 20 real estate transactions the past 30 years. Spencer's commitment to communication and detail are what it takes for a real estate transaction to work well and go smoothly for everyone involved.
