Mike Bui – EQ1 Real Estate

Mike just sold our Condo in South San Jose, and it was an amazingly effortless and seamless process. This is the third time around that Mike has been our agent and every single time has been an absolute delight.
My wife and I bought our first home with Mike four years ago. It was 2012 and the housing market was still in the recovery phase, so there was a lot uncertainty in our minds. We had no idea what to expect when buying a home for the very first time especially when the housing market was in turmoil with foreclosures and short-​sales. Mike spent a ton of time with us, patiently explaining the steps involved in buying a home, things to look out for when touring a home, the terms of the offer etc. He accompanied us to countless open-​houses and finally got us our dream first home after battling stiff competition and all cash offers.
The best part about working with Mike is that he developed a genuine friendship with us. He has unbelievable positive energy and a warm uplifting demeanor which was crucial in keeping us calm and positive during the ups and downs of buying a home. However, Mike’s most important quality is his trustworthiness. He was very transparent and upfront right from the start — so we never ever felt blindsided.
The housing market has been crazy the past few years and things often moved at lightening pace when we were trying to buy a home. It was amazing how Mike was so responsive and accessible at all times. He would respond immediately to my texts, emails and frantic calls at any hour of the day or week.
This year, four years after buying our first home, we were ready to buy our second home. I called up Mike and it felt like no time had gone by — we picked up exactly where we had left off. However, the market was quite different this time around. Mike helped us beat 17 (that’s right, 17) competing offers to get us our dream home again.
Right after that, he helped us sell our first home and it was a pleasure to work with him as a seller. Mike took care of every single detail. He used cutting-​edge marketing techniques including social media campaigns, professional photography and immersive videos to generate interest. His staging was very modern, chic and luxurious — much higher quality that what you usually see. He had a great team of people supporting this process and all this effort paid off handsomely as he sold our condo for the highest price in the building!
Buying or selling a home is quite a daunting process — we’ve been lucky to have Mike guide the way for us.

We just bought a house with the great help from Mike Bui. Mike is very professional and he is on top of everything. He explained in detail for each important item in the process, listed all important dates and things should happen on each date, arranged everything, helped negotiating, addressed every concern, and even offered help after closing. He is super prompt on getting back to any questions/​requests that we had. I feel lucky to have found Mike.
