We were very delighted to have Catherine as our agent. Under her guidance, we were able to make this sale a very smooth one. Since this is our first trust sale, we had to depend on her knowledge, professional experience and sound advice through the entire process.
With Catherine’s descriptive writeup of our property, we were able to attract and obtain several great offers within the first week. We were pleasantly surprised.
Catherine was very helpful at all times, made great suggestions, provided valuable informations and clarifications at every phase of the transaction. She was also very personal and responsive.
Catherine was especially great at calming our anxiety down during the loan phase. She convinced us things will be fine when it went beyond the extended escrow period.
Thanks to Catherine, we were able to sell our house within a very short period and at a much higher than asking price especially under such economic uncertainties with record high interest rate. Also, thanks to Catherine, we even got to learn quite a bit about what a trust sale is.
We highly recommend Catherine to anyone who wants a professional on their team. We know we are in capable hands with her on our team. She is definitely a pro in her field.

As a first time homebuyer, I was so extremely grateful to have Michelle Hsu as my realtor. First of all, she spent so much of her time trying to find houses that fit my particular criteria. I’m a picky guy, and not once did she give me the feeling that I was being a bother, or being too unrealistic with my demands. For almost a year, we searched for the perfect house, until we finally found one in La Habra that ticked (mostly) all the boxes.

During the purchasing process, she used her excellent negotiation skills to get the seller to agree to an aggressive price reduction of about 3%. Furthermore, she was able to get the seller to agree to additional concessions during the inspection process. This was partly due to the fact that the home inspector she works with (Ralph) is extremely thorough and leaves no stone unturned. Because of this, she was able to turn some of the weaknesses we found with the house into bargaining chips. Throughout the entire process, Michelle was so detailed/invested in getting me the best deal/result that it made me feel almost as though she was purchasing my home for herself! As a first time homebuyer, I had a ton of questions but she always got back to me quickly and also came up with a lot of creative solutions/suggestions, highlighting her deep expertise and vast knowledge of the industry.

I truly have no complaints - because of Michelle, the entire process went as smoothly as could be. After having her as my buying agent, I’ll rest easy knowing that I can be confident in having the best agent on my side going into any future real estate transactions. With Michelle, you are in good hands!

We’ve worked with Philip Chang and his team on the sale of my parent’s commercial property and home, and it was a good experience for both sales. Phil is extremely knowledgeable and attentive his clients. He’s trustworthy and made both of the experiences smooth for us. The team answered all of our questions and made sure we crossed all of the T’s and dotted all of the I’s. Highly dependable and attentive.

Michelle and her team are very knowledgeable and professional. She is patient, kind and very reliable. She went above and beyond to help us find our home and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend Michelle for your purchase and sell.

Wendy is extremely knowledgeable, but she is also very supportive and understanding. Going through a divorce and the process of selling our first house, me and my ex had no idea what to do or who to call. Wendy is in SGV, but she was familiar with our area and ever since we first met, was super professional. Obviously with everything going on, I wasn't as responsive as I should have been, but she never rushed us once and was always polite to everyone.

At times of negotiating, she always told us what the buyer wanted and their remarks, but being new to selling we had no idea what was a good point or way to work it out. She was super helpful and made suggestions on what to look at big picture wise to of course not lose the buyer, but also make sure we don't leave money on the table as well! When all was said and done, I literally didn't have to do much and she handled everything. She knew I had a ton on my plate and told me to just focus on packing and clearing the house out.

Whether you are a buyer or a seller, and whether it's your first purchase or it's your 15th, I recommend Wendy and everyone at Mann realty. I will be looking forward to using them again when I rebuild and purchase a new home.

We worked with Phillip Chang. We found him to be completely
professional and knowledgeable in the real estate field.He helped
us navigate the complicated issues involving the real estate market. We would highly recommend him to any anybody looking for a real estate agent

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Catherine Chen to purchase our first home. Catherine played an instrumental role in assisting us in the homebuying process. My wife and I are first time homebuyers and although had some familiarity in the area, we did not know much about the process itself. Catherine immediately helped us feel at ease from the first meeting, where she came prepared with several listings on short notice and arranged for visits the same weekend. She was attentive, communicative, and responsive during the entire process and made herself available from start to finish. We really appreciated her attention to detail, in one instance, she had printed a copy of a contract in advance of a review and had gone through it beforehand to let us know of any unusual disclosures included. We felt confident with her guidance and would not hesitate to recommend her to a friend, colleague, or family member. The outcome was a home my wife and I were very happy with, met our needs perfectly, and matched 'us'.

Phillip Chang has represented us in two transactions on the sell and buy side. He masterfully guided us through the sale of a home in 2020 during the worst of the uncertainty of the market during the first months of Covid. Then he helped us navigate the low inventory real estate market that has existed over the last two years in LA. We have been looking since 2021 with a tight budget. Phillip always kept his head and advised against jumping into the feeding frenzy bidding wars. His sound advice paid off big when we found the perfect home for the right price. He really knows the market, He is the consummate professional, savvy about how, when, and how much to bid. We found him to be super responsive and personable. We cannot recommend him more highly. We would trust him implicitly to represent us in any future transaction.

As first time buyers, my husband and I are so grateful to have chosen Jonathan Hua as our realtor. He is very knowledgeable and always answered all our questions. He made sure we understood every step of the way and was very efficient with everything from open houses, documents and negotiations. His communication with us through the process was excellent. He went above and beyond to help buy our first home. We highly recommend Jonathan and will be recommending him to our friends and family.

I had to say when I first met John I was not sure what to think - he cooly represented that he could sell our family home in Montebello and secure a new home for us in the competitive Brightwood area of Monterey Park. I had my doubts because the city shutdowns and induced by Covid were underway and I figured it would would be difficult for John to attract buyers for our home in such a challenging climate. Those doubts quickly evaporated after our home listed, as a parade of prospective buyers flocked to our home for five days straight thanks to John's aggressive marketing approach. To my family's collective shock, we received an offer above asking price within 48 hours and multiple offers thereafter. John and his partner Philip Chang ran the open-house smoothly, limiting the number of buyers inside the house to two at a time while providing everyone with masks, shoe covers, and hand sanitizer. John's attention to detail and social distancing rules made my family and our guests feel super comfortable and safe. While the initial offer was attractive and a major relief, John insisted that we not settle, and sure enough a higher offer (which we accepted) was presented two days following the original offer. John was always accessible via text or call during the pre- and post- offer process to address my family's concerns. He even had the foresight to include a leaseback option with the purchase agreement since he anticipated our family would need a place to stay during the gap between closing and moving into our new home. In representing us during our home purchase, John single-mindedly focused on the neighborhood where we wanted to live. When a prospective home emerged, John effectively appeased the demands of an indecisive seller who kept waffling on sell price and insisting on difficult conditions John had to strain himself to meet. Ultimately, we ended up coming to terms and paying a little bit more than anticipated, but it was all worth it since John was able to get us higher than expected proceeds from the sale of our previous home and our new home is where we wish to reside for the long haul. John truly knows his craft and is an agent on which you can rely if you are looking for a home in the San Gabriel Valley, or anywhere in LA County for that matter. Highly recommended!

Catherine Is a professional realtor and I was delighted to work with her. Catherine is very knowledgeable, very informative and most importantly listen and understand what client wants. She was very open to the questions we had regarding home selling process and direct with her answers. I would highly recommend Catherine to anyone who is interested in purchasing or selling a home because she always looks what’s best for her clients.

John, Jonathan and his team did a fantastic job selling my property. From the first sit down I had with John, it was clear he was in tune with the market and the Monterey Park area. I felt confident and trusted his ability to get our property sold. There was an issue with my buyer creating constant delays on their part which was creating an enormous amount of pressure for myself. I'm sure I drove Jonathan up the wall with my constant questions and concerns, but true to excellent customer service he handled all my concerns with care and quick responsiveness. Johnathan did an excellent job of keeping me in the loop at all times and I never felt I was in the dark. When things were not moving as quickly as we had hoped for on the sellers part John came in to get the deal done. All in all, I would highly recommend John and his team to handle any future property transactions that I will have in the future and would happily recommend them to any family and friends. And a special thanks to Jonathan for managing the process from start to finish. Excellent service with a focus on client experience.

After a long, long search, we finally did it! We found the perfect house for us and Catherine helped guide us along the entire way. We started searching for a home back in June. After going to countless open houses and submitting offers after offers only to get out-bidded again and again, Catherine remained patient and encouraged us that it was all part of the experience and the perfect house would soon be ours. She answered every single question and provided us with tons of suggestions and information throughout our entire process. When it came to the end and we finally got our offer accepted on a house, she made sure we were not confused at any step of the purchasing process. I cant thank Catherine enough for everything that she did for us. You wont be disappointed with Catherine and Man Realty!

Losing a loved one is always tough. Having to sell a home through the time consuming probate process from 400 miles away makes it even tougher. I can't thank Jonathan and Philip from Man Realty enough for the amazing job they did in getting our family's home sold.

Jonathan and Philip did it all -- found a reputable company to remove and donate household possessions, got the home professionally cleaned for a very reasonable cost, worked with the HOA to organize all of the traffic, ensured everything was up to code and successfully negotiated a strong offer after two initial buyers pulled out.

I reached out to Man Realty based on the reviews and my experience exceeded my expectations. This company is professional, knows the market and will be great partners for you whether you buy or sell, in probate or not. Thank you for helping our family through this tough time!

Hello,

I wanted to say that it was a pleasure to work with the Mann Realty group. My agent (Jonathan Hua) came as a recommendation and was excellent throughout the whole process. My process was a tough one as my home had permits and such that the city was still in the process of approving. So we were running up against the deadline. However Jonathan and his team helped guide me through the process and helped make calls to the city for a faster approval.

Not only that, but we had many bumps in the road (upset brother for selling the house, lots of repairs…etc.) but the whole time Jonathan and his team worked through each hurdle. Not your typical “lets hurry and sell” mentality, but actually caring about the whole situation. He spent a lot of time working with my mom, meeting her at properties to move into before we sold this one, only to keep getting rejected due to her credit. This was NOT an easy sale for him, but he was patient, thorough, honest and really showed he cared. The whole team I dealt with at Mann Realty was excellent to work with.

Escrow was just as easy (thank you Alina) as the whole process went super smooth (even with my family hiccups).

A BIG thanks to Mann Realty, Jonathan and his team 😊

Annette Diaz (extremely happy client)

John Man and his team helped me sell my mother-in-law's home. The condo was sold in less than a month. He was able to sell the house higher than our asking price. Jonathan and Stephanie was very professional as they walked us through the sale process and worked closely with escrow. They all made the sale process very smooth and answered all our questions in great detail. I would highly recommend John Man Group as a listing agent.

Jonathan, Philip, and the team at Man Realty help me sell a nightmare property. I represented a trust that owned a property located in the San Gabriel Valley which needed to be sold quickly at top dollar. The property had two renters, cracked foundations, a separated sewer line and numerous other problems. Jonathan and team worked tirelessly in helping to sell this property quickly. Through the process the renters made it nearly impossible to show the property, but Jonathan and Phillip assisted in reducing the tension in the situation and convincing the tenants to cooperate with the sale process. In the end top dollar was secured and everyone walked away happy. I wouldn't choose any other relator to represent my interests in the Los Angeles Area

Big, lifechanging events such as buying a first home could be frustrating at times, but Catherine walked us through every step and answered all our questions knowledgeably and patiently. She was everything you could’ve asked for in an agent! She always responded promptly, even when we texted at odd hours, she jumped and made calls to selling agents immediately whenever she sees an opportunity, she would give her professional opinion but made sure that we were always comfortable with the offer, and most importantly, she fought for us like hell in a seller’s market and it finally paid off! We were able to buy a home with confidence through Catherine. And a quick shout out to her intern, Justin, who also helped made this transaction easy and smooth.

If you need an agent that offers great advice on how to sell your home, I would highly recommend John Man.

John and his team are very responsive and hard-working when helping me sell my home. Sometimes we can get him email or message in the really early monring and late night. He put a lot attention for details and communicating with clients effectively, which makes my whole home selling process as smooth as possible.

Overall we are very happy. I give John my highest recommendation.
