Gary Lo – Coldwell Banker

The service Gary Lo provides values your time, and money, as if it were his own. I loved my experience with Gary. Gary was diligent and provided impeccable customer service. He provided feedback and resolved discrepancies. He is well positioned to make an immediate positive impression. Gary’s skills, experience, and reputation for excellence will greatly enhance your needs and standards.

Let me preface this review by saying that I am a long time Unilocal user, and that my experience with Mr. Gary Lo compelled me to write my first Unilocal review! My fiancée and I were first time home buyers and we were introduced to Gary through word of mouth.
It would be very lengthy to describe all of the details Gary did to get us into our first home, so I’ll provide some highlights:
Like many other home buyers, we decided to purchase instead of rent because each month, we felt like our money was going towards nothing. We expressed our interest to Gary in person, he said to give him some time and not to worry. So, we waited.
About two weeks pass and Gary presented a few potential homes for us to check out. All of the correspondence was through email, phone calls, and text which I appreciated due to my busy work schedule. He stated all the pro’s and con’s of each property and I felt he was completely transparent with his advice. Looking back at my entire first time experience, I realize that I was in a vulnerable position. I could have easily been duped into buying something that didn’t fit what I wanted.
Instead, Gary was patient and willing to answer all my questions ranging from market trends, which neighborhoods to consider, past history of the potential properties, which lenders we should work with, and even what questions to ask the lenders. At one point, I felt like I was being annoying with all the questions, but without fail, Gary answered everything to his best abilities in a timely manner. A+ service for that!
And now onto the exciting part of the home buying process– putting an offer on the house we wanted. Throughout the entire experience, this is where Gary excelled. My fiancée and I decided on a property and Gary put a plan in place to get us the best price with the best terms. He was in constant contact with us and the seller’s agent and when all the dust cleared, we were able to purchase our first house below the asking price, even with other competing offers!
After shopping around with different lenders, we ultimately went with the one Gary recommended and we couldn’t be happier. It was a smooth and fast process to get approved.
A week after moving into our new house, we met up with Gary for happy hour to express how happy and grateful we were for his help. We laughed, had a few rounds of beer, and reflected about our first home buying experience. He made sure everything was going as planned and made sure our move-​in was easy.
The take-​away from this review is to tell everyone who is considering a real estate agent, that Gary Lo is your guy. He’s easy to talk to, responsive, patient, and most importantly, hard working. THANKS GARY!

Gary Lo is absolutely THE BEST! He is hardworking, determined, and is a one-​of-​a kind realtor in SF. He is an expert in the growing housing market and knows how to do his job very well. He is full of knowledge, experience, and at the same time very personable and easy to get along with. He is your best option if you are looking for a realtor in the SF area! :)

Gary was a very excellent real estate agent to work with. I first worked with Gary when my family was looking to buy our second house in San Francisco. Gary was very helpful in helping us find something that fit our budget (we know how expensive sf is.) We searched for a couple of months and ended up bidding a foreclosed home in the Oceanview neighborhood. Although we won the bid, the real estate agent working for the bank wasn’t very responsive to us and ignored our phone calls. I believe they felt our bid was too low and wanted to auction the house again (shady), but Gary did not give up. He religiously called the other real estate agent until we could get a hold of him. He helped us sort all the mess and was in the whole entire process till the end. He definitely went above and beyond want a typical real estate agent should. Also, I’m not sure if he normally does this for his clients, but he also helped us rent our house out. In the beginning I was completely clueless on how to rent out property, so we asked Gary if he could help us out. When I started renting the house myself, Gary would still be nice enough to answer all my annoying questions. Even today, I’d still randomly email him about random housing laws and he would still answer me.
The only negative thing I’d have to say about Gary is that there were a couple of times when he was not very responsive. It took a couple of days for him return my voicemails, but he did return them nonetheless. Any who, I would definitely go to Gary if I was looking to buy another house in sf (too bad real estate prices are rising like cray cray.) He might be young, but he is definitely a hard worker and may be more or just as knowledgable as other real estate agents in this area. Thanks Gary for all your help. We love our new home!
