Angela Guo – Red Tree Real Estate

My husband and I were in the market to look to buy our first house.
First, I’m not an easy customer, I’m very particular (my husband, not so much).
Second, my husband and I know what we want want, we do our research, we are realistic, we are reasonable and we need someone to help us to reach that goal.
Third, we are very loyal, we use one realtor at a time and Angela is the third realtor that we used. And she is the kind of realtor where this market is lacking: Provocativeness.
Needless to say… I fired the first 2 realtors because:
1) They just setup an MLS account and do nothing else. No follow-​up. Nada.
2) Unresponsive to e-​mail/​phone calls/​text message.
3) We’re not a priority. Because we were younger, we were at the bottom of their «customer list» —- my previous realtor will push off my appointment on seeing a house because her other clients want to see it first. Excuse me???
Setting up MLS account, having basic respect, being on time and opening doors are expected from ANY realtors. A given.
It seems to me majority of the realtors expect their clients to find what they like on their own, open a door for them, then volia, getting their 2−3% commission. I’m not saying all realtors are like that… but that’s the very reason why I fired the first 2.
If I can find the property on my own, I don’t need a realtor, all I need is an inspector and a lawyer.
Analogy —– Everybody can bid on eBay, I don’t need to hire someone to bid on an item for me.
As a buyer, I need a realtor to help me find what I need, check with me to see what I want, refine on my search, work for my best interest — being proactive. Yes, it’s a lot of work… but it pays off. And Angela did not only that… but above and beyond.
She actually helped my husband and I found our very first home in an area that we weren’t even looking. Not only that, Angela is very very honest. She could’ve talked me and my husband into buying any decent house on the market and collect her commission, but she didn’t. She actually put our interests first, commission second.
Angela did such an excellent job, I actually refer her to all my friends and family. She even helped my other «very particular» friend found her apartment in midst of Backbay.
If you are looking for a responsive and proactive realtor — I highly recommend Angela.

If there is a such thing as hell in the form of a real estate market, it is Boston. The housing situation here is a complete nightmare, and most of the 21 897 216 738 904 319 721 472 realtors running around the city lack common sense and common decency. I am incredibly happy to report that Angela Guo from Red Tree is not one of these incompetent realtors. I was referred to Angela by a friend who had a great experience with her, and am incredibly glad she did. Angela asked me what I was looking for and sent me all the postings she could find that fit my criteria. I was looking for something very specific, and it was kind of hard to find listings for that, but she kept looking and would send me anything she thought might work for me as soon as she found them. She was incredibly courteous and responsive, writing me back very quickly whenever I had any questions. The best part of working with her was how proactive she was. She was very thorough in searching for apartments that she thought would suit me, and very good about sending me any follow up information and helping me schedule viewings. Also, she speaks Mandarin fluently so this is a huge plus!
I highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for an apartment in this hell-​hole that is the Boston real estate market! She will make this experience relatively pain free!!!

Getting to work with Angela as a first time home buyer was an absolute dream come true. I was so lucky to have been referred to her during my search. Angela truly listens to what you are looking for in an apartment and she’s so knowledgeable about the Boston real estate market. Working with her to find the apartment I have now was a lot of fun! Being a first time home buyer and being very inexperienced with the process Angela was able to help me ask the right questions while looking at various apartments and brought up a lot of things to consider.
Angela was always very responsive in her communication — emails, texts, phone calls, — I was always able to reach her whenever I had questions which made the process so much easier and stress-​free. She’s always so personable and really makes you feel at ease with everything.
I’m so happy to be able to move into an amazing apartment, and I couldn’t have made it happen without all of Angela’s hard work and dedication to her clients. She is definitely someone I would refer to anyone looking to buy/​rent a place in Boston!
