Mitch Wong – Intero Real Estate

Coming up 1.5 yrs in our home & still very grateful for Mitch’s help. I wanted to revisit the review I gave Mitch back then (see below) & I still feel the same. Mitch is a great guy!
My husband and I are recent transplants back to the Bay Area. We knew that homes in the region would be expensive but didn’t quite understand the competitiveness of the market & challenge of buying a dream home in SF. We quickly learn that you don’t always get to choose the home you want but having an experience RE gives you a better chance.
We worked with a few duds before someone referred us to Mitch. Unlike some of the other agents we worked with who only cared about making the commission, Mitch showed interest in wanting to get to know us. He never pushed us to bid on a house but was readily available to assist us when we were ready to make that offer. We bid on a total of 3 homes with Mitch & through his guidance landed in the top 3 offers with option to rebid each time. In my opinion this accuracy is a win considering you are going up against 15 – 18 other offers. (That may sound ridiculous to some people, but anyone who recently purchased a home knows those numbers are not exaggerated.)
What made this stressful situation easier was Mitch’s accountability to his clients. I’ve always been able to either catch him when I call or get a quick call back from him — even late in the evening. He does an excellent job in building rapport & checking in with seller agent & kept us up to date on latest status so we had the best chance at offer. He will offer you the best advice but also confident enough to go back to Seller agent to make a request that would do right by you.
And he has bend over backward for us — i.e. met us for last minute showings. Our house closed the day before Thanksgiving & he still made sure that he track down the key for us even thou he was scheduled to travel with his family. Very friendly, honest & genuine guy. We appreciate the opportunity to work with someone with integrity. I wasn’t an easy client (vocal, neurotic, demanding), but Mitch’s calm manner makes it easy & enjoyable to work with him. But most importantly, he got us the end result — a home.

We have known Mitch for 3 years and he has recently helped us to purchase our second home in San Mateo. Mitch provides exceptionally customer services and valuable knowledge of home purchase and rental property. We are very happy and grateful to have him as our agent. During difficult and stressful times of submitting offers and in the middle of escrow, Mitch repeatedly reassured us everything would be okay when we were down and felt hopeless. What makes him an exceptionally agent is his clear, friendly, and humorous communication skills. We have learned so much from him on real estate investing and are looking forward to working with him in the future for more property purchase.

My wife and I have known Mitch for more than 3 years. We have met and used many real estate agents for our real estate transactions, and Mitch is the best one we have ever dealt with. He is very honest, knowledgeable, efficient and capable. He is a real performer. Three years ago he help us buy our main residence at the price we wanted to pay. He was able to convince the seller to take our offer when somebody else had offered more. And recently he helped us sell our house for a lot more than our asking price. He knows the market very well and he managed the whole selling process very efficiently. His timing was perfect and his attention to details is impeccable. We are very happy and satisfied with his service. And we highly recommend him to anybody who needs a real estate agent.

I have lived in Los Angeles area for more than 36 years, working as an engineer. Late 2014 while planning for my retirement, my wife and I decided to move to Bay area where my two kids are living. At first we searched houses from the RE internet, but soon we found the internet information could mislead us and it would be very risky. Many of the houses looking good at the internet were found much different actually. The internet information talks only good things, but didn’t say anything bad. We met Mitch in an open house for a property we found at the internet. When I talked to him about my concerns on the house, he listened to me and frankly admitted the problems of the house rather than pushing me. Since then, we worked with him for finding a house. Any houses we found good in the internet, we asked his review, and he backed to us with valuable comments. As we still live in LA area, 400 miles away from Bay area, we could go to Bay area only during the weekend, but he arranged all the houses we could like to look at. We failed five offers mainly due to our budget constraint. We were disappointed at the failure of each offer, but he was very patient and encouraged us to restart. In October, 2015, Mitch sent us the information on a house at Santa Clara, and we excited at the house. We offered the house as he advised, and we got the house. Mitch was very reliable, friendly, frank, knowledgeable about Bay area RE, and provided right information and evaluation all the time. We trusted him 100% and he helped us to look at a house in a right angle. His broad knowledge on remodeling really helped us. We gave him five stars and recommend him. I already asked him to find a house for my son who has been looking for a house for years.

Mitch helped us with a couple transactions and we are very happy with his responsiveness and execution. Our buyer backed out last minute and Mitch was able to find another buyer within the same day! He helps take care of many small details which makes selling and buying a breeze with him.

Mitch was great. He helped me find a property that is perfect for me in an area I hadn’t been thinking about. He was excellent in helping assess market conditions and determining the price it would take to get the house, and he was on top of details at each step of the way to make sure the sale went through. I’m a real estate developer so I’ve worked with quite a few realtors. I found Mitch to be honest and straightforward every step of the way, and he delivered on what he promised: attributes I really value in a field where many are searching for deals at any cost.

As first time homebuyers, my wife and I were a little apprehensive about the entire process of buying a home. We met Mitch through a friend, and he was incredibly helpful. He led us through the process and was very patient about explaining things to us. He was also very realistic about the Bay Area real estate situation too. Initially we were a little bit cautious because he would advise us that our (initial lower) bids might not be very competitive… but after seeing what houses were going for, we realized that his advice and suggestions were spot-​on. Mitch knows the market inside and out, and he has a very good feel for what will be a competitive offer. Most importantly though, in a place where people are dealing with large amounts of money, Mitch is a person you can trust.
Some highlights — in addition to giving advice on the entire process, Mitch also led us through home walkthroughs while pointing out things that we should look for. He pointed out other useful tidbits like school district and surrounding areas. As we went to open houses with him, his interactions with other agents showed that he is well-​respected in the real estate community. He also made himself very available for us. He’d meet with us on the weekends, in the evenings, and is very accessible by phone/​text/​email.
Oh — and Mitch did help us buy a home in South San Francisco! We haven’t moved in yet since it’s very recent, but we are very happy with the purchase so far!

Mitch sold my condo quickly and for a very good price (significantly over asking). I was out of town for the majority of the transaction and Mitch was able to provide vendors (staging, carpet cleaning, etc.) and facilitate all seller points of the transaction so that I did not have to be present at any point.

Mitch is by far one of the most seasoned and professional realtors I have ever worked with. As a first-​time homebuyer in the Bay Area I really appreciated Mitch’s intimate knowledge of San Francisco and Peninsula neighborhoods in narrowing my search for a place to plant roots for the next few years. His relationships with other realtors made it possible to locate off-​market properties and his negotiating prowess made the offer process shorter than I expected in this crazy aggressive market. While waiting, his calm demeanor and accessibility made what should have been a stressful transaction surprisingly stress free. I have already referred friends to Mitch and they are in contract. Thanks Mitch for helping me with the first of many properties!

Arrived home from work to find an unsolicited flyer from Mitch littering my doorway. Is sending junk mail no longer effective, or was this to avoid paying postage?
Even more unbelievable (and what prompted me to write this review) is that the fact that the flyer lists my home’s address and recent sales price, along with others, clearly misrepresenting the fact that Mitch was at all involved. In fact, it’s not clear he has sold ANY of the homes on the flyer.
There are some brilliant realtors in Burlingame/​San Mateo. There’s no need to pick one who resorts to spam and misrepresentation.

We met Mitch at an open house and immediately liked him for his laid back personality. Sometimes real estate agents can be a little intense, but Mitch was friendly and accommodating. He was very responsive to emails and texts, even those sent at odd hours. The first offer we made with Mitch got accepted. He seems to have good relationships with other agents too, which is very helpful in a competitive market.

Want to live on the peninsula where the market is highly competitive and there could be many offers for one home? Then Mitch Wong is the realtor for you. He is knowledgeable about real estate in the Bay area and has the expertise and initiative to secure the property you desire. We also like him for his honesty and patience. He makes every attempt to find a property that is right for his clients and one that they will be happy in. We are happy with him and highly recommend him.

As a first time home buyer, Mitch was pivotal in helping us find a place that we’re happy with. He was referred to me by a college friend, and we’re extremely grateful to Mitch for taking the time to find us a great place in Burlingame.
His experience with property in the bay area, and the peninsula especially, was a big help in landing a place in a seller’s market.
He also has a group of quality people we’ve used to repaint and clean our new apartment.

Mitch is great. He helped us sell our house and find a condo in the Peninsula. He is very knowledgeable about the area and a good negotiator as well. He was also very patient with our questions and requests; even with those that came up after the sales were completed.

I’ve worked with Mitch on several sales and purchases the last few years and he has always been very responsive, dilligent, and most importantly, put my priorities/​needs before the transaction! He takes a personal and familial approach in dealing with his clients. He understands that long term/​lasting relationships are key factors in building a business and he has done that with every single transaction I have had with him. I highly recommend him to any family or individual looking for a good realtor. We all know that not all realtors have your best interest in mind when dealing with them.

Our family relocated from NJ to Silicon Valley at the year end of 2013. We were home owners in NJ but market there was far slower compared to Bay Area. Mitch is knowledgeable, resourceful and patient. Being an extremely effective communicator, he helped us to quickly get a grasp of the heated market and presented our offer well in each bidding war. With Mitch’s assistance we found our dream home and eventually got it. I highly recommend Mitch to anyone who wants to compete in this sellers’ market, especially those who seek for a Realtor they can fully trust. Buying a house in San Francisco Bay Area is less scary with Mitch holding your hand.

Mitch is a fantastic agent who helped us find a wonderful new home. He’s extremely knowledgeable, super responsive, patient, courteous, and a terrific negotiator, among other qualities.
Mitch develops meaningful relationships with other agents, which are very useful when it comes to negotiating the sale terms, getting other agents to consider your offer when there are multiple offers, and help get you priority as a backup offer in case the first offer «falls through.»
That was what happened to us. We were not the highest bidder. But when the highest bidder’s deal with the seller fell through, Mitch’s relationship with the seller’s agent got us «first in line» for a chance to buy the house. We love our new home!

Mitch is the best realtor I know, period. He represented us as a buyer in the crazy market that is the Bay Area, and managed to get us the house we wanted on the very first shot. When we first met Mitch, he was a sellers agent at an open house that we went to. Out of numerous open homes, he was the only agent that didn’t just assume that we were either too young, or not serious based on appearances. I knew immediately we wanted Mitch to represent us.
Mitch went the extra-​mile (and more) for us. There were 15 other offers on the table and Mitch was the ONLY agent that made a in-​person presentation to the sellers agent. He was there for us every step of the way, and listened to our needs carefully and guided us through the process with an expert touch.
Most of all, Mitch is a great guy who is just a pleasure to work with. He is super-​responsive and knowledgeable about all aspects of real estate (and the Pennisula in general). I would not hesitate to recommend him, or to represent us as a buyer or as a seller.
Thanks Mitch!

Knowledgeable, Honest, and very Patient.
Mitch was wonderful to work with as a first time home buyer in the bay area.

We purchased our 3^rd home last year and we had worked with multiple realtors to help us find the perfect ones and we chose Mitch Wong to be our guy. After talking to him for the first time we felt strongly about using him as our agent. We are SO HAPPY we found such an awesome agent that had helped us through all. He’s very professional, knows his stuff, quick about getting back to you, not a pushy guy, a good negotiator, trust worthy, and honest. We will continue to use Mitch Wong as our agent (as long as he’s still in the business).
We had also referred him to our family and friends and all of them used him as well. They all had some bad experiences with other agents they had tried to work with. They also told us that they love working with Mitch. That made us felt good too… :)
Thank you so much Mitch for all you’ve done for us. We will contact you for our next purchase or sell! We LOVE our new home!!!
