Hiep Nguyen – Intero Real Estate

I honestly trust Hiep with the entire home-​buying process. I have no experience with buying my own home and in this challenging bay area market I would only trust Hiep with the process. I’ve know Hiep for more then 15 years (through my colleague, wife of Hiep). I needed to buy a condo for a family member given the crazy rental market currently. Hiep guided me through the entire process including helping me with updates/​repairs that needed to be done on the condo. He acted like the general contractor and had his subcontractors work on my new place. I wouldn’t have known where to begin if it wasn’t for Hiep. I’m a busy doctor and didn’t have much time. Whenever I would try to research something on the internet in regards to which condo to buy, should I buy a condo, repairs, etc, it just confused me more. It was so much easier to have Hiep just answer all my questions and guide me easily through the process. I wholeheartedly trust his judgment from figuring out how much to bid for, what type of loan to get, what type and how much repairs to do on the house, etc. And all the paper work was so easy since it was all docu-​signed through email. I thought Hiep was treating me as a VIP but he actually does all of this for all of his clients!
Don’t get confused with any other real estate agent on the peninsula, choose Hiep Nguyen to guide you through this process!

We had an excellent working experience w/​Hiep Nguyen as our real estate agent, and would highly recommend him. When we were looking, it was clearly a seller’s market and it was typical to have 7 – 15 offers for a given home and it would sell for 15%-20% above asking. We believe we benefited from the following strengths: trust in Hiep, his strength in negotiation, and personal relationship w/​many of the listing agents. It’s difficult to trust someone initially, but over time, it was clear that Hiep had our best interest in mind. He didn’t always tell us what we wanted to hear, but he shared what we «needed» to hear.
Negotiation is so important in this environment, and Hiep knew how to write/​negotiate a contract to get our offer accepted over the other offers.
Relationship w/​listing agents is of utmost importance and often overlooked by buyers. In many of the open houses that we went to, the listing agents knew Hiep and in the end, it was an important factor in getting us the home
We are very excited w/​our home and thankful for Hiep’s help. Happy to recommend him and answer any questions that you may have.

We had the pleasure of working with Hiep for our recent home purchase. Being in the SF Bay area, we had to deal with a tough market with high real estate prices, multiple offer scenario and low inventory. Hiep was able to work creatively to find us a probate sale (aside from conventional MLS listing), which enabled us to get the home w/​less competition.
Hiep worked with us to understand our needs and wishes… more specifically, the school and location needs, and also our budget and flexibility. He tirelessly worked with us to provide multiple options, carefully detailing the pros and cons of each option with respect to our needs and wants.
Once we found our dream home, Hiep worked closely with the selling agent and my financial agent to ensure that the closure process was smooth and timely.
Hiep is very easy to work with and very responsive. He understands the bay area market and its dynamics very well. I have already recommended Hiep to my friends and will recommend him to anyone who is looking for a house in the bay area.

You could not ask for a better realtor, hands down! Hiep is an honest, thorough, professional, personable, realtor, with a keen business sense. His diligence, reponsiveness, and attention to detail resulted in a seamless process, from the pre-​planning to the sale. He truly goes the extra mile for his clients, which included beautiful aerial photos and videos, on top of the photos of our home. Thanks to Hiep’s hard work our home sold in 1 day! This is unheard of in our remote area, homes are usually on the market for months. Even after the sale of our home, Hiep continued to help us, including finding movers, etc. I strongly recommend Hiep Nguyen, you will not find a better realtor, hands down.

Hiep exceeded our expectations on all fronts. During the sale of our previous home his
diligence, attention to detail and business acumen resulted in a terrific result that was beyond the top end of what we envisioned possible. Hiep has a bonafide ability to play a variety of roles and leverage multiple talents and strengths — he is part strategic
advisor, home visionary and quality consultant. He also leaves no stone unturned in providing exceptional service to his clients. He has an innate ability to focus, truly listens and gets to know his clients. While it is fairly common to describe Hiep as «patient and understanding» I believe what distinguishes him from other real estate professionals is his ability to understand what his clients are searching for and execute flawlessly. In buying our new home, Hiep was able to locate a great property in Menlo Park and worked with us tirelessly in answering questions and providing recommendations on architects, contractors and other service providers even after the close of escrow. He is a consummate professional and we would strongly recommend him to anyone selling and/​or buying a home.

I met Hiep 4 years ago (in 2010) and immediately felt he was an honest person that I could work well with. He mentioned he was a realtor, so I told him that my wife and I had thought of purchasing a duplex in San Jose as an investment. I was skeptical when Hiep told me: «Do you realize you can purchase a 4-​plex for roughly the price of a duplex?», but he proved to be right.
We started looking at 4-​plex listings together right away, then found & purchased our first apartment complex in early 2011. The first 4-​plex we purchased met all our basic criteria (price, location, condition, proximity, and cash-​flow potential) thanks to Hiep’s invaluable research. We recently completed our 3^rd property purchase with Hiep’s assistance, and it has been a genuine pleasure working with him on each one of the property acquisitions.
Hiep is much more than just a real estate agent. His knowledge of the South Bay Area real estate and rental market is truly top notch, but it’s his research and negotiation skills, along with his willingness to provide advice along the way that really sets him apart from other agents. Each time we submitted an offer on a property we honestly felt we understood the local market and had a competitive bid for the property, without overpaying.
Hiep’s unique skills as a price negotiator are very effective. He often sees 2 moves ahead of other competing agents by detecting clues on price and terms from seller before submitting a winning bid. I feel that Hiep is the Sherlock Holmes of real estate agents!
If you want to find the right property at the right price, I recommend using Hiep Nguyen!
