    • Ava , again thanks so much for all your help , you certainly carried the load of the work in getting this closed, thanks. Amazing , we came to San Fran to see what was available and to get a feel for a future potential purchase and then three weeks later we own a place. Your very good because you don't push but honestly share and helped point us in the right direction but didn't tell us what to do, plus thru out the closing process we could not have made it without you , without a doubt after buying 45 homes you are the best

    • We have been a client of Ava's over the past 7 years. She located and represented us in our first residence purchase in San Francisco. Ava again represented us as sellers with the successful sale of our property in February 2020. She is a true professional in the real estate industry with a thorough knowledge of the market, persistent determination in representing us in the best possible manner and an honest and realistic approach in negotiations that leads to a successful outcome. We can't recommend Ava Chang highly enough as both a buyer and seller advocate and real estate professional.

    • As an experienced real estate investor, I have worked with many Realtors throughout the years. I've worked with excellent ones, as well as many poor ones. Having worked with Ava Chang over the past two years, I have only the highest regard for her as a dedicated, motivated and determined Realtor. She is someone I have gone back to repeatedly, whether it be to buy or sell properties. The reason I choose to work repeatedly with Ava is that she continually demonstrates qualities that are so rare today. She is hard-working, goes beyond the call of duty to get the job done, and has only the best interest of her clients. She is ethical and I trust her advice and opinions whole-heartedly. I have only the highest recommendation for Ava Minh Chang as my Realtor of choice. Less

    • Ava gets it done! Prior to my experience, I had not worked with Ava. I needed an agent to buy a house and my friend recommended that I give her a try. I had tried other agents but wasn't successful in closing on a house. So, I thought I'd try yet another agent. Ava is very personable yet professional. I was pleasantly surprised by Ava's aggressiveness in searching for potential houses. After our initial conversation about what I was looking for, she immediately set up a meeting to see houses. The first houses we saw were dead on in terms of what I wanted. So, she really listened and "got it." She sent me listings of houses and when I was interested in seeing a house, we'd go see a few. When we would see a house, she knew everything about it. (That's a lot of work learning the history of a lot of houses.) I thought I was her only client but learned that she had several other clients she was helping at the time. I was surprised because I felt like I was her only client. That says a lot about how much attention she devotes to each client. Her relentless search resulted in a house for which I wanted to make an offer. She provided me with comps so I could figure out what I wanted to offer. We then discussed it and she formulated a strategy. It was a smart strategy -- in that it addressed my needs and comfort level. Well, I got the house. She was great in getting answers to all my questions about the house and made closing a very smooth and effortless process. And, she compiled a thick binder with all the info and documents on the purchase. She took care of everything which was great for me, because I was so busy at the time. If you want someone to help you find and actually help you buy a house, then go with Ava. She'll get it done for you in a timely and nearly effortless manner.

    • Ava was absolutely delightful to work with on the sale of my family property. She is a total professional and fought hard to get my family the best sales price possible. She was very diligent and was on top of every detail, fact and negotiation for the deal from start to finish. she also provided the service of finding the replacement properties for the 1031 exchange that fit within the budget. My family is very happy with her work on the sale and the purchases we have completed.

    • Thanks to Ava, we're happily writing this review from our new home! She negotiated hard on our behalf and worked around the clock to communicate an overseas seller. Given this was our first home buying experience, she was also warm and accommodating, letting us tour the home many times to test every appliance and take photos of every nook and cranny. Thanks to her expertise, she gained our trust and we'll know who to call if our family and friends are ever back on the market.

    • I recently purchased a condo in mission bay with Ava as my agent. All I can say is that the experience was beyond amazing for a tumultuous SF market. Ava took me to look at 20+ places, all tailored to my exact needs. She was very professional, patient, and guided me to make the appropriate decisions in the final close. Additionally, she gave me guidance during the closing and escrow process. Her 6+ years of SF real estate experience makes her a very skilled real estate agent. I'm very lucky to have worked with Ava!

    • Ava has helped us with several property transactions in the past couple of years. She truly goes above and beyond whether she is selling your home or helping find a new, perfect place. She is kind, generous, and completely selfless. We could not have asked for a better real estate agent!

    • Ava Chang is has been a pleasure to work with. She has been nothing but professional and it is her one on one customer service that makes her unique. She knows the market and trends and I am confident that I am in good hands. Ava is always accessible and will bend over backwards to give you the best service that she can. She is the first real estate agent that I have worked with that truly has my best interest at heart. I would highly recommend her services

    • Ava helped us buy/sell 2 different homes in the past couple of years. The process was completely seamless with her assistance and attention to detail. She is incredibly knowledgable of the market and truly goes above and beyond for who she is working for. We could not have asked for anyone better!

    • As first time home buyers, we were obviously very nervous beginning the process. Ava did a spectacular job of guiding us through the entire process, from open houses all the way up to closing. She has a keen sense for the whole city of San Francisco, and was able to provide valuable insight about each neighborhood where we were looking. She went over countless disclosures and documents for us and was never more than a phone call or email away when we had questions of any kind. She approaches her job with a sense of honesty and a level of effort and service that is rare in any field. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and is willing to be a staunch advocate for them when it comes to negotiations. For anyone who is looking for help navigating the murky waters of San Francisco real estate, we cannot recommend her enough!

    • I am a first time home buyer and was very nervous to buy my own place in this market. Ava was amazing!!!! She was an accountant in her first career and has a nack for numbers and was able to teach me about mortgage rates, property value, and investments. She was so wonderful and was always available to answer my questions and be an advocate for me to negotiate with the seller and facilitate my loan with the mortgage broker. Ava got me everything I wanted!!!! She loves her job, was so easy and fun to work with and has incredible taste in property. I trust her completely and would highly recommend her to all my friends. I'm definitely going to get Ava's help when I decide to sell and purchase my next home.

      - Kimberly A. - Yelp
    • Ava was spectacular with helping us with our purchase. You can tell she knows her homes and the market. She predicted many of the selling prices for the properties we were interested in and telling it to you straight on what you need to offer to close the deal. Through each disclosure review, she guides you through the documents and identifies the key issues a buyer should focus on. I highly recommend Ava!

    • I don't know how to thank Ava enough...I was struggling with figuring out if I should continue just renting in San Francisco or finally buy, even with the rising costs of the city. Minh Ava is insightful and has offered me wonderful advice on my best options with regards to properties in various districts. She knows San Francisco very well and has informed me on the pros/cons of certain neighborhoods.Additionally, with SF real estate being so complex, it's easy to get completely lost in all the whole process and be unaware of terms (like what's the difference between a condo and TIC), and she has explained everything without making me feel incompetent.Her honesty has helped me feel reassured that I've made good decisions in regards to where I want to reside. I'm so glad I got to work with her! Thank you so much!!
