Crystal is a very experienced, thoughtful and resourceful agent. The homebuying process was stressful, but we were glad that we had Crystal to help us navigate the market and the process. She has particularly great expertise in the parts of San Francisco that we were interested in, and also has great connections with other agents. We highly recommend her and look forward to working with her in the future.

Crystal is very professional, experienced and well-connected in the Mission Bay Neighborhood. We worked with her when we wanted to rent out our unit and she handled the whole process very professionally and was able to get us tenants in 2 weeks. My husband and I are really happy with her services.

She was very patient to answer all our questions, even if it was late at night. In particular, Crystal coordinated all the communication with different tenants and was friendly. Without hesitation, I would refer Crystal to my friends in the future and if possible, I would like to work with her again.

My girlfriend and I met Crystal when trying to find a place to live in SF, having just moved from Chicago. Crystal was managing a rental property for one of her clients and made the choice extremely easy! Not only did she keep everyone organized, but she went above and beyond to make sure the process was smooth. When the client didn’t have online payment options available, Crystal made it happen. She even gave us tips and tricks about our new rental property in how to properly maintain it like new! Would definitely recommend working with Crystal if you have the chance.
— steve tzeng
Crystal is a hard working, professional and extremely helpful real estate agent. As a first time homeowner turned landlord, she went above and beyond to help me to rent my apartment and took care of every step of the rental process. She is very knowledgeable and was responsive and attentive to all of my questions/concerns. I highly recommend Crystal!
— alycia hatashima
Crystal helped me buy a condo in SF. She was very professional and knowledgable about the area. And she could always help me get some info about the building from residents she knows, which was indeed super useful. I would definitely recommend her for buying a home in SF.
— alexander zhou
Crystal was exceptional in every way! Her work ethic is impressive and I really appreciated her transparency in all our dealings. She went above and beyond my expectations and handled every step of the process so masterfully. She is incredibly responsive, assertive, professional but equally personable, warm, and fun. I am so grateful I worked who is so knowledgeable of all aspects of real estate and proactive in taking care of all the details. Crystal made this such a rewarding experience; I didn’t think buying a home could be so painless and smooth until we worked together. I am excited to work with her again in the future!
— S. Lin
Crystal was very knowledgeable about both the area and the process. She and her team were very responsive and fast-working. She also had lots of advice and information to provide.
— Zuser
I have been extremely impressed with Crystal. She is extremely knowledgeable about real estate in San Francisco, especially the Mission Bay and South Beach areas. She is extremely responsive and guides her clients to ensure they make the best decisions for them. She is on top of the details and is willing to do whatever but it takes to help her clients. She always got back to me quickly no matter what time of the day or night. She is incredibly hard-working, which is what you want when you are making this very important purchase. She also has built great relationships with developers and others in the business which can be extremely advantageous to get you in early and fast with new opportunities. I highly recommend Crystal for any and all real estate needs.
— nancy j abraham
Kent and Crystal are the best! I had an amazing experience working with them for my first ever home purchase. They are very knowledgable about the area (Mission Bay) where I was interested in buying a home. Crystal has actually been living in many Mission Bay buildings in the past. And they’ve helped many other buyers buy a place in this area. They are also very responsive. They are always there for me when I have questions. During closing, I was out of the country for one week. However, the process couldn’t be smoother. Bonus point is that Kent speaks Mandarin and he’s super chill. They both exceeded all my expectations. I would love to refer them to my friends for home purchases!
— Zhiyao Wang
If you’re looking for a realtor, look no further. We had an amazing experience working with Crystal and her team for our recent home purchase. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, she is incredibly hard working, super responsive (at all times of the day/night), and always on top of anything that comes up. In addition, she is able to move fast, which is what you need in today’s competitive housing market.

Buying a home is not always easy but having Crystal by our sides is what made it a great experience. She was so easy to work with and I would recommend Crystal to any of our friends and family looking to buy a home.
— pam huang
Crystal helped me find a tenant for one of our units. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area and very helpful throughout the process. Every time I had a question, she was able to answer in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent in this sometimes overwhelming market!
— euenfan
My husband and I had the opportunity to work with Crystal recently and had an exceptional experience. I would highly recommend her — she is resourceful, gave us the inside scoop on places we were considering and is very knowledgeable about which residential area was best for us given out unique needs. She is incredibly responsive and it was clear to us that she will go the extra mile at all times.
— pavan dhillon
We just purchased our first home in San Francisco with the assistance of this amazing professional Crystal. She was always responsive and patient even on weekends and late evenings. No matter how many questions we asked and no matter the time. She instructed me in the negotiation phase and saved me thousands of dollars, I am so happy I followed everything she said. Crystal has also become an amazing friend. I am so happy we met her!
— truonganly
Crystal is an amazing realtor, she made relocating and finding an apartment in as challenging a market as SF, the easiest housing experience I have ever had. As noted by many other reviews, she is incredibly responsive (usually within a few minutes of any email), well-connected within the Mission Bay community, and on top of her game on all aspects of the rental process. She clearly looks out for her clients, helping me initiate discussions with the owner on potential upgrades to the unit, and was direct and transparent on the tradeoffs between a few apartment communities in the Mission Bay area. Overall, she went way beyond what I expected for a simple transaction, and has set a high bar for future realtor interactions. With her high-touch approach and efficiency in executing, I will definitely reach out to work with her again when I’m buying.
— Yanif Ahmad
Crystal helped my husband, our son Lee and I find our first home in San Francisco. She worked with us for at least four months prior to putting money down on a new build condo. But it didn’t stop there, she continued to keep us updated on our building’s process, things we should be thinking about as we prepare to purchase our first home, etc. She did this all while being a great friend and genuinely fun to be around. Home buying can be a stressful process, but Crystal was on top of every question we asked. If she didn’t have the answer in a day we were shocked, she was incredibly responsive. Knowing how many clients she services she made it look easy. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy (or sell though we don’t yet have experience doing that!)
— Lauren Mathias
I rented an apartment from Crystal and was extremely impressed by her dedication and competence. Crystal knew the building and unit inside and out, helped me process my application and sign the lease in a matter of days, and even stayed in touch with me throughout the move-in process to help me take care of logistics with the building and get introduced to the building community! Highly recommend.
— Patrick Elyas
Crystal is a driven, hard-working, and quick-thinking agent. We met Crystal at an open house. She was one of the few agents who made us feel less like a client and more like a friend/collaborator. Crystal is well-connected in Mission Bay; she knew a lot of agents in the area and was able to bounce us a few off-market listings. She knew the selling agent who we ended up buying the property from, and that helped a lot during the bidding process as the selling agent felt comfortable working with Crystal. She also has a network of inspectors and contractors and they were able to perform inspections and repairs for us on short notice.

Crystal was also super responsive. Whether it was questions about the buying process, or status updates during bidding, she would always make sure we were well informed and understood our options. In the end, Crystal gave extra effort to make sure our home was in good shape, and ready for move-in. We enjoyed working with Crystal and are thankful for all her help!
— Wayne Tang
Crystal was so incredibly helpful throughout my rental search process and continues to be so responsive and proactive even after I’ve moved into my unit. She was available to help with questions by email, text, and phone, anytime I needed her and it was so invaluable to have that resource. Crystal is personable, friendly, proactive, and knowledgable about the properties she represents. You can tell she has a passion for what she does and it shows in her work. Thanks again Crystal! I am so excited to settle into my new home.
— Jennica Smith
Crystal was immensely helpful in my search for, and purchase of, a condo in San Francisco. I met her serendipitously at an open house when I first began looking at homes. I was feeling quite lost and overwhelmed at the time, but Crystal was immediately helpful in distilling what I was looking for in a home by asking poignant questions. She also demonstrated a deep understanding of the market by explaining the various neighborhoods and their offerings. As someone who had never purchased (or even shopped for) a home, Crystal’s insights and guidance were invaluable.
Crystal is consistent and prompt in providing updates and listings, many of which are not publicly listed, which is very helpful in a competitive market such as San Francisco’s. She was great in connecting with sellers’ agents to arrange viewings and tours of buildings. She is also very responsive (even when on vacation in another country!) to questions.

Once I found a home I loved, Crystal was very helpful in guiding me through the process of getting through contract. She was effective at communicating and negotiating with the seller’s agent and coordinating my financing with the bank. Crystal helped make what appeared to be a complex and harrowing process very easy to navigate.

Crystal is also great at solving problems and surmounting challenges that arise during the process. One of the great values that Crystal brings is her connections with various people, who can assist with various issues that arise in the home-buying process, including loan agents at banks, CPAs, and real estate lawyers. Crystal’s introductions made the process that much easier and seamless.

In sum, Crystal and her team made my home-buying process very easy to navigate for a first-time buyer like myself. Her knowledge, responsiveness, network, and problem-solving attitude set her apart from others. She is very personable, friendly, and invested in her clients. I’m happy to write this review for her and would definitely work with her again!
— jmnchen
Crystal made the whole home renting process extremely efficient and convenient. She was extremely responsive with all my questions and went above and beyond to ensure that my needs were fulfilled.

She was clearly very knowledgeable about the unit, the complex, surrounding neighborhood and the industry in general, and was crystal clear in her communication about requirements and deadlines. I really appreciated how she not only ensured that the process ran smoothly for both the tenant and owner, but also went the extra mile. For example, she was thoughtful in making suggestions about specific appliances, furniture and other useful items to purchase. Needless to say, she has her clients’ interests at heart. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend working with her.
— Anthea Wong
Crystal helped us rent our condo unit in One Mission Bay. The process was very smooth and she helped us in every way, including coordinating showings, photographs, and supervising specific tasks inside the apartment. Being a resident of the complex herself, she gave useful tips about appliances and the installation process. I will recommend her to anyone wishing to use real estate services in SF.
— tndiwakar
Crystal was a terrific partner throughout the purchase process. She got us a special appointment to see the property, since we were going out of town. She kept us up-to-date throughout the process — checking in with the developer and pushing for answers. She was truly our advocate. When we had some challenges with scheduling closing, she jumped in and coordinated everything. She was there for our walk-through, helped manage all the touch-up work, and then even helped coordinate our move. We have purchased many homes and truly have never had a more involved, passionate, and supportive partner than Crystal.
— Mark Pitchford
We were fortunate to have Crystal as our agent. She is super responsive, resourceful, and has profound knowledge in the field. With her help, we were able to successfully find a place that we love.

We highly appreciate her super responsiveness. She was always able to answer our questions in a short time period. Communicating with her was always super easy and pleasant.

Crystal also has a deep knowledge in the field and is well connected. Furthermore, she spent time to patiently educate us. Throughout the whole process, we were super confident that we were in good hands.
— sshaoking
Crystal was a pleasure to work with and helped me close / purchase the first home I made an offer on! She was incredibly responsive and made herself readily available to meet with me or chat on the phone. Being a first time home buyer, this was important as I had questions upon questions. Crystal knows the ins and outs of the buying and selling process and was invaluable throughout the year we worked together. I highly recommend Crystal.
— amanda mcd
Crystal is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is an amazing person who really cares about finding you the perfect home. She was so patient, down to earth, honest, and always took care of everything. She is extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhood, every intricate aspect of the process, and overall made it incredibly easy and comfortable for me as a first time homebuyer who didn’t really know what to expect. She is very passionate and meticulous about her job, taking down all the details, numbers, measurements, etc for each of the places we looked at. She is responsive throughout and is incredibly on top of things at all times, I don’t know how she does it. Overall, just a wonderful experience working with Crystal. I look forward to her being my agent again in the future, and will be referring my friends to her as well.
— iluvhermione
Crystal is super responsive, resourceful and knowledgeable. In addition, her personable and driven nature helps her get the best and latest information/deals. Through Crystal’s ability to foster relationships, she was able to get me into the first day of a Phase 1 project when I was only scheduled for an appointment on the third day. Throughout the closing process, I always had confidence I was in good hands. Crystal was always able to provide a solid answer in exceedingly fast turnaround times.
— wglowkum
If you’re looking for someone honest, dedicated, and assertive, I highly recommend Crystal. I was fortunate to have been referred to her through a friend. As a first time homebuyer, you need someone savvy and intelligent by your side EVERY step of the way. She was thorough and patient with all the questions I had, and helped me feel extremely confident during all the phases of my first home purchase. She made my process as efficient as possible even though we were on quite the rollercoaster with new development, various loans, etc. She was always on point and notified the second anything was needed to move forward or even to keep me updated. I am so happy with my condo and ecstatic that she is my neighbor, and she will definitely be a long-time friend.
— Zuser
As a first-time homebuyer, I could not have asked for a better home-buying experience. From the get-go, Crystal took the time to understand my needs and was patient with showing me one property after another. She was also extremely responsive and never left me hanging with a question. Crystal also has impeccable negotiation skills, which is crucial in such a hot market as San Francisco. We successfully beat seven offers (including two all cash buyers) - something I didn’t think was even possible. Above all, Crystal genuinely cares about her clients and treats them like family. Even after closing escrow, Crystal still follows up with me to make sure everything is going smoothly with my renovations and move-in. I am so thankful that we have developed a strong friendship that will stand the test of time.
— Cindy Lam
Highly recommend Crystal for real estate service and assistance in San Francisco. I don’t have too much experience with real estate agents but certainly won’t be searching for another. Her knowledge of the local real estate market is vast and helpful. Crystal is extremely professional and her communications are swift and informative!
— Zuser
Because of Crystal, we were able to procure the perfect apartment. It was the best place we saw and she made it happen for us. She got the apartment cleaned, painted and had new carpets and a microwave installed in less than 2 weeks — plus getting the current owners to move out their belongings. She answered texts/emails promptly and kept us aware of what was happening. Crystal even contacted us post move-in to make sure were happy. Great service!
— Zuser
Crystal made our dream come true. She went out of her way to show us the rental before it was even ready for showing. We love it at this location. She made the entire process so easy. I would highly recommend her for all your real estate needs.
— Eric Petsinger

Crystal is a gorgeous agent in the SF area. She is quite impressive on local knowledge and always responsive. She gave good advice about the neighborhood, unit condition and other valuable information.
— Zhengzhe Zhu
Crystal is smart, pleasant, and listens carefully to the buyer’s needs. Her local knowledge is first class. She is familiar with the process of purchasing a property, as well as navigating existing tenant and financial/mortgage issues. Her responsiveness is instant, and perfect, always there to address an issue or update in the process. Her negotiation skills are excellent and fair, and the final result from our experience is that Crystal represented us very well.
— michael lebby
Crystal and her colleague Ina helped us purchase a condominium in the South Beach neighborhood of San Francisco and our experience was amazing. They are very familiar with a variety of neighborhoods in San Francisco (we looked around). They were patient and honest about the benefits and challenges with various properties — very high integrity.

Also, they are literally the most responsive people in the world. Texts would be returned within a few minutes (and usually seconds) at any time of day or night. We could ask any question we wanted — whether it regarded the property, the financing, the HOA, cleaners, handymen, or even just general other needs. This was especially helpful as our primary home is on the East Coast and we couldn’t be in San Francisco much during the closing period. We would recommend them both in an instant.
— Zuser
Through a colleague of mine I was able to get in contact with Crystal and start my search. My girlfriend and I were won over pretty quickly as she has a great personality and was very responsive. Mostly though, I got the strong sense that she was working to get us something we’d be happy with for the best price. She was super responsive and patient with talking us through the entire process. The times she said we’d probably get out-bid, we did. However, in the end she talked us down a bit and we were able to get a great price on our new home. Overall I felt Crystal was not only a great negotiator, but treated us like a friend and made sure we were getting the best possible place for us.
— csolo
Crystal was amazing. I was very happy to have her on my side in the difficult San Francisco market, and would definitely recommend her and work with her again. The best thing about the experience for me was her help in creating a competitive offer at a reasonable price. This was my third home purchase. With other agents in the past, I’ve felt like the only way to make an offer competitive was to offer too much money. Crystal helped me make other aspects of the offer strong.
— Zuser
Crystal helped me nail down my dream home in Mission Bay, with the lowest possible price to beat all other competitors. She was so knowledgeable about the building and all the details of recent sales around the area, such as floor number, room direction, ceiling height and date of purchase. She gave me sufficient yet easy instructions on how to prepare good terms for an attractive offer. With all these in hand, it was no doubt the victory was ours.

Crystal was also good at helping ramp up on home hunting for first-time buyers like me. As a newcomer to San Francisco, I knew nothing about SoMA, Mission or Potrero Hill, but after a few lessons with Crystal, I became more ‘local’ than some friends of mine who have lived in the city for years. She will learn your preference, try to help you narrow down areas of interest and analyze the pros and cons of each home. The professional expertise of Crystal is A+.

Last but not least, Crystal is much more than just a real estate agent. She will use her network to help you find the best mortgage loaner and superb contractors. Working with Crystal means you’re guaranteed an awesome deal with a delightful experience. I’ll definitely refer my friends to her and work with her for my next dream home.
— Tony Ma
Crystal did an amazing job and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy and/or sell real estate in California. I recently just sold my place in San Francisco and the process was made easier thanks to Crystal’s knowledge and expertise as a real estate agent. Crystal showed great dedication and motivation throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for someone with expert knowledge of the housing market with a strong work ethic then my friend Crystal is the agent to hire. Thank you Crystal to you and your Climb team.
— mutrod
Crystal is nothing short of incredible. I contacted her because I was interested in viewing one of the apartments her company had listed on the internet. I thought I was beginning a process of learning about the market. However the third apartment she showed me (not one I had viewed online) was more than perfect. Within 12 hours of my initial viewing I had a signed agreement with the seller. Crystal was very professional, thorough, responsive, generous, kind and fun throughout the 10 day close! I was in great hands with attention to all the necessary details.
Crystal is now preparing my apartment for the rental market and I anticipate the same energy, enthusiasm and professionalism. Crystal is a gem.
— Docbarbaras
Working with Crystal helped me better understand the local buying process, negotiate for credits, and keep frequent contact with the sales agents. Communicating with her was easy and she kept — at all times — a pleasant demeanor. I recommend getting Crystal involved in your next real estate transaction.
— xplw
I have never met someone as responsive as Crystal. Whenever I needed anything, she was always a text away. We just bought a place recently in One Mission Bay with Crystal’s help. She was always on top of things and handled the communication effectively between me and the seller. For this purchase, she was instrumental in helping us outbid our competitors, and lock down the place that we wanted. I am very appreciative of her help, and would highly recommend her.
— bowenhusky
My husband and I started looking for an agent when we saw a listing for an apartment we really liked. We contacted Crystal based on the reviews she had, and we are really grateful for everything Crystal did for us. She is a highly motivated and driven lady, who knows San Francisco really well (we bought in Mission Bay, and she definitely knew this area by heart). She gave us very valuable advice and was beyond available. We got the first place we visited, and that’s definitely thanks to Crystal!
— sarah bentouati
[Update] This is an updated review for Crystal:

Crystal is a very responsive individual who can help you with any issue throughout the process from the beginning to the end of your home purchase. I am a busy professional, but with her help, I didn’t need to worry about the time to figure out the 3rd party contacts since she is well connected. She is very professional and friendly in working with me throughout the whole process for my apartment hunt. I was looking for a condo apartment in a new construction unit in San Francisco. She kept me updated with the build progress the entire time. She responded to my questions immediately every time through emails or text messages. She has a deep knowledge of Bay Area real estate and is also well connected. I would definitely work with her again in the future.
— Benjamin Peng
Crystal was simply the best! She knows the area inside and out, is extremely responsive, and went above and beyond to help us make the right choice for our new home. We felt like she was as excited about it as we were. She is also supported by a great team. I would recommend Crystal to anyone who is looking for a home in SF, we are very thankful for her. Thanks Crystal!
— mklimek
Crystal is very knowledgeable and patient. She genuinely loves to help people and it shows. She answered all our numerous questions without hesitation, even though knowing we were not ready to commit. She makes extreme efforts to become available when needed. I would highly recommend seeking her help with all your real estate needs!
— Zuser
Crystal was essential to my successful purchase of a ~$1.6M 2 bed / 2 bath condo in the Madrone building. What makes working with her so special? Crystal’s deep transaction experience: Crystal has an encyclopedic knowledge of San Francisco’s District 9, which includes Mission Bay, SOMA, and South Beach. From her experience with other clients, she was able to discuss all the pros and cons of the homes and buildings in the area, along with relevant comparable transactions.

Crystal is a true partner: When I was working with Crystal, she was clearly looking out for my interests, instead of pushing me to buy a home. She made me aware of non-obvious issues with different buildings and homes, and once I had found a home that I wanted to buy, she put together the winning bid strategy for a competitive process. Crystal put herself in my shoes and acted like a true partner, not some disconnected third party representative.

Crystal’s deep network of contacts: Crystal has deep relationships across all parts of the real estate value chain – other agents, builder representatives, lenders – that gives her unfair competitive advantage in identifying opportunities. In my specific case, this was my second condo purchase in the Madrone, and I wish I had worked with her during my first purchase. Even though I had already been a Madrone homeowner, she knew much more than I did about what was available in the building and identified another Madone condo that was going to be listed well before it hit the market. Crystal moved quickly and provided me with the competitive advantage of being the first potential buyer to view my home.

Crystal’s execution ability: Crystal has a drive to win. When it became clear that I had found the home I wanted, Crystal went above and beyond the call of duty to get it for me. In my competitive process, Crystal got us in early and sold the seller on why I should be the winning buyer. She clearly laid out everything I needed to do make this a successful process and I could depend on her to push me when needed, which was incredibly helpful given all my busy schedule. Even more, she wasn’t content to settle for “just good enough” – through her “no fear of asking” negotiating style, she was able to get concessions from the seller that I didn’t think to ask for. It is also notable that when my offer was accepted, and I decided to use the use the same Wells Fargo preferred lender that I had used for my previous Madrone purchase, I directly saw how she could use her deep understanding of the lending process to drive the lender to noticeably better execution than in my first experience.

Incredible response rate: Crystal’s response rate to emails and texts is inhumanly fast, which is a tremendous comfort during the home buying process. The only way to rival Crystal’s response rate would be to be a Skynet-esque artificial intelligence!
Crystal really stands apart as the Wonder Woman of District 9 real estate. I highly recommend working with her!
— michman
Crystal is a great agent who has a no nonsense kind of attitude. She gets things done and she’s great to work with. Really easy going and willing to do anything for her clients. I’d recommend her to any of my family and friends.
— augustine chiu
Crystal, was instrumental in the successful sale of my condo. She was helpful while I was out of town meeting staging folks, handling logistics, managing the open houses and providing great play by play updates as things happened real-time by phone, text and email. I used Climb to purchase my condo as well, so full circle with the team.
— Paul Lee
Being a first time home buyer, I was nervous, stressed, and overwhelmed by the entire process. Crystal guided me every step of the way, from searching, financing, making an offer, to closing, and eventually purchased my first home.

When I just started looking, I wasn’t exactly sure what I cared most about in a property. She was very patient —agave me places to check out, toured with me, talked to me, and really listened to what I do and don’t like in a place. Her knowledge of SF and the real estate industry also helped greatly in navigating different neighborhoods and different buildings.

Mostly importantly, she takes care of her clients. She is always (I mean ALWAYS) there to answer my questions, address my concerns, and take care of all the details and logistics. I trust her entirely because of her honesty, care, knowledge, and attention to detail. I’m sure the process would not have been as smooth without her.

I’m glad that I chose to work with Crystal. I certainly would work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a new home.
— pinhoramic
It’s been over a year since Crystal moved me into my condo and she still checks in to make sure everything is in tip-top shape and if there’s anything I need to make my place feel more like home. As a first time home buyer in San Francisco, I had no clue where to start. Crystal knew all the right people and held my hand through the entire process. No question was too simple or too complex. Her warm personality made the execution of every task look effortless, giving everyone involved a sense of comfort.

I have and will continue to recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a home in the area. What you will get from Crystal is someone who listens, understands, relates, then finds you the place you’re going to love living in. She is quick, responsive and attentive. She’s a realtor who turned into an even better friend. I’m lucky to have found her and can’t recommend her highly enough.
— jonny jla
Crystal walked me through Mission Bay and knew everything about the area. I believe knowledge is key when purchasing a property. She knew exactly what was going on in the area. She works hard for you! Crystal is responsive and excellent in getting exactly what a client needs. You need to work with Crystal if you want to buy or sell a property.
— Lyman C
I come from a real estate background, so I know what separates an excellent agent from a good agent. Crystal is an excellent agent. I chose to work with her, even with my background, because of her knowledge of the area.

In my experience, Crystal is the most knowledgeable, personable, and responsive agent I’ve ever worked with. Her deep knowledge of the areas of SF, its surroundings, and of the industry provide her and her clients leverage and knowledge to make the best decisions and negotiations.

Her deep relationships with other agents, sellers, and buyers help her new clients get the home they want — for the price that they want. Her communication skills, honestly, flexibility, and interest in helping me with my purchase was much appreciated. I am confident my deal would not have closed with any other agent.
Crystal’s ambitiousness and ability to talk with anyone is not to be understated. She is a rising star who is already at the top. She’s unique and powerful in her work, and in an arena where many think they’re the best, Crystal is actually at the top of the game, takes no transaction for granted, and is the real deal.

There’s not another agent I’d work with or recommend in this city. 10 out of 5 stars.
— markgurman
Had a great experience working with Crystal on finding a new home. She was very knowledgeable and guided me through the entire process from the home search to the offer process to the closing and documentation. She was extremely responsive and made the whole process very easy. Would highly recommend her to anyone who is thinking about purchasing a new home.
— Zuser
Crystal was super helpful and nice. I was totally new to the property purchase field, and she patiently guided and educated me through every single step of the whole process including price, contract, offer strategy, finance, etc. Believe me, you will not be disappointed if you choose Crystal as your agent.
— xuchang chen
We had a wonderful experience working with Michelle and her partner Crystal on helping us with the sale of our condo in Mission Bay. From the initial meeting, they came prepared with a game plan and pre-listing recommendations. It was amazing seeing the vast amount of resources they could conjure up. I thought we were part of a condensed HGTV makeover show. They were able to get our property inspected, painted, cleaned, staged, photographed, virtual 3D toured in a blink of an eye.

Besides their professionalism and attention to detail, they were so down to earth and always made us feel that they had our best interest at heart. We felt that their expertise, their knowledge of the area and their experience in the industry really helped us set realistic expectations from start to finish. We were always provided with feedback and information in a timely manner and never had to second guess anything. Whether you’re buying or selling in this crazy market, we would definitely recommend Michelle and Crystal.
— chuckie c
Crystal went above and beyond in every way imaginable to help my fiancée and me find the perfect condo in SF. I had worked with Crystal a couple years prior when I was single, and mildly interested in buying a house. We made an offer back then on a place I liked, and were heavily outbid. I decided to stop looking for the time being, as I just wasn’t motivated to buy a place as a bachelor. Crystal was completely supportive of that, and I always felt like she was working in my best interest.

Now fast forward to getting engaged, and wanting to find the perfect place to start our lives together. Crystal quickly lined up a bunch of places for us to see that matched what we were looking for. We fell in love with The Harrison building, and Crystal then worked her magic to get our deal done before the Christmas holiday break.

Since that time, she has been incredibly helpful on every single aspect of the process including helping us lock down a mortgage, coordinate multiple visits / walkthroughs / etc. with the building, find a number of pieces of furniture that we loved from the demo model, and countless other logistics and details.

Crystal has been insanely responsive throughout the process, including nights and weekends. She will do whatever it takes for her clients, and will always go the extra mile to make sure everything is just perfect.
I highly recommend Crystal. She’s as professional, focused, and as talented as it gets in the business.

Crystal recently helped me buy a home in Daly City, CA. My mortgage borrower recommended her to me. This was my first time buying a home, and her expertise and advice was invaluable. She did a great job of finding out what I wanted and set up a customized search for me. She was very patient even after losing a couple of houses initially. And she is super responsive by email, text, phone calls, etc.

The best is the post-sale service she provides. We had an incident which caused some damage to our new cabinets right after we moved in. She spent months with us to negotiate with the seller to get replacements. And after getting replacements, she also helped contact a contractor to install them. I can’t imagine how I would’ve been able to fix that without her help. I would definitely recommend her to people, especially first home buyers like me.

Crystal is the best! My wife and I met Crystal at an open house right as we were beginning our housing search. At the time, we were in the process of meeting with several realtors that were recommended to us. Crystal’s patience and willingness to listen to what we were looking for in a condo made her really stand out next to the other realtors we were considering. My wife and I decided that working with Crystal was a no brainer. Throughout the process Crystal was amazingly responsive and always reachable. Additionally, her knowledge of the neighborhoods we were considering was outstanding. Five star experience. I have already recommended her to a few of my colleagues.

Crystal was extremely helpful throughout my home purchase process. I was a first time home buyer / mortgage borrower. Crystal was extremely patient and really good at explaining all the clauses to me. She was always reachable which is very important during a stressful home purchase process. We had some issues with the mortgage application and Crystal really stepped up, pushed things through and made it happen. The most important thing is she cares about you as a friend, instead of just wanting to complete a transaction. She’s great and super helpful. I’ve already recommended her to a few of my friends!

Crystal & Michelle were critical in helping us buy our dream apartment and sell our first apartment under high pressure. The buying was very well handled by Crystal and team, who ensured we were front-of-line in securing our ideal home, and helped grease the wheels of the closing process. On the selling side, they were determined, creative and willing to do whatever it took to find and close a great buyer, despite a dramatic slowdown in the SF apartment market. We couldn’t be happier in our new home, and we have Crystal and team to thank.

Crystal Injo did a fantastic job in helping us find and purchase a condo in the city. She was thoughtful and informative as well as extremely quick to respond to emails and texts. We highly recommend working with Crystal to buy or sell your home/condo.

Crystal is just wonderful to work with. She is honest, caring, knowledgeable, and truly invests herself fully in her client(s). Having done many deals with Crystal in the last 3 years and seeing her service and expertise first hand, the best thing I can say about her is that I would recommend Crystal to any of my personal friends and family. There is a reason she stays in contact with many of her past clients as friends, it really goes to show how much Crystal really cares.

For example, our latest clients were first time homeowners that were generally brand new to the entire process. Crystal did a wonderful job of leading her clients calmly through everything from choosing the home, making multiple offers, and entering contract. 25 days later, we have a few very happy and informed homeowners. Crystal even helped with numerous ideas on proper furniture placement. She is a real joy to work with and I would recommend to anyone looking for guidance in our San Francisco Bay Area market.

Crystal’s knowledge and familiarity with the area we were interested in was invaluable! We had no previous familiarity with the process, and Crystal walked us through it step by step, as well as handled all relevant aspects of the process and made sure we’d meet our deadlines. Our home seeking process was quite intense, and Crystal was extremely responsive throughout the day, always available to answer questions, schedule appointments, and fully support us as buyers. She is the kind of person who gets things done. We really felt we were in good hands! Take the time to meet Crystal, you’ll not only find a great agent, but also a wonderful, caring, honest friend.

Crystal has all the skills you would want in a real estate agent — sharp, very knowledgeable about the SF/Bay Area real estate market and purchase process, excellent customer service (i.e. lightning speed response time, thorough follow up), great negotiation skills, tech-savvy, etc. Plus she is so nice and personable, never pushy. Crystal worked tirelessly to help me buy the home of my dreams and I will always be appreciative of all her and her team’s efforts. I highly recommend Crystal. She will get the job done.

Bought a condo home in 2015 in Mission Bay, San Francisco, CA. You need someone like Crystal on your side when buying a condo in SF’s crazy market. We didn’t grow up in the US, so we were unfamiliar with the way the system and process works here. Crystal guided us, step by step throughout the process, with patience and confidence, including pointing us to the right vendors for us while providing various options.

Her response time is incredible, she’s always on! For example, when we needed to get an offer out at 11:30pm, she got it done with no fuss. It took us 6 months of intensive searching because we were very focused on an area and requirements, but Crystal kept the fire going the entire time.We liked the fact that it was a trust based relationship, and it comes to show that she knows she can prove herself during the process.I would highly recommend using Crystal, especially if you’re the busy type that prefers communicating through texts/emails and have long days, but still want to find your dream home. Highly likely to recommend!

Think of Crystal and her team as an extra set of eyes and as an ancillary member on your team, someone who looks out for you and works in your best interest. Crystal did an amazing job walking me through my home purchase. I cannot thank her enough for all of the hard work that she put in to help me close. She always worked through nights and weekends to ensure that everything went smoothly. Crystal is very responsible and always reachable. I will definitely come back to Crystal for all of my future real estate needs, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a serious real estate professional.

Crystal has been nothing but helpful in the process of purchasing a condo in San Francisco. She’s very knowledgeable of new homes in the city and she found me exactly what I was looking for. She fought for me on several points where we had room for negotiation. She’s also much more responsive than pretty much anybody I know, always replying to my text messages very quickly even at odd hours. I would definitely recommend her to others looking for homes in the Bay Area.

Crystal is the best. Buying a home is very stressful and there are a lot of details, rules and regulations that will confuse you. Thankfully, Crystal has the knowledge, and is always easy to reach. Every email or text was immediately replied to and every phone call was answered or returned within the hour. She is also great at building a relationship with the seller’s agent. This not only makes the sellers more comfortable to do business with you, but also could give insight on what kind of deal the seller’s are looking for. In fact, if she had not done this, we would not have gotten our dream house since the sellers had already accepted an offer when we first saw it! Luckily that deal did not work out and our offer was accepted almost immediately.

Crystal also really cares. After the deal was done, she helped us figure out how to fix up the house and find the best prices. When our son was born, she visited and still remains our friend to this day.

Buying a house is an exciting, but scary process and as a first time home buyer, Crystal made the process almost effortless. She is very personable, knowledgeable, and always ready to answer my concerns even if after hours. She easily went above and beyond my expectations for a realtor, from driving around trying to put together a last minute offer to really listening to what I wanted out of a house (even though at times, I didn’t even know). I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a home.

We appreciated Crystal’s knowledge, experience and ability to understand the dynamic San Jose housing market in the downtown area and find good potential buyers for our townhouse. She was responsive and very helpful for the entire process with excellent communication skills and understanding of seller and buyer perspectives. She arranged and managed repairs, painting, and staging. Also arranged for excellent pictures of the high quality results. She took good care of our home throughout the sale process. Highly recommend Crystal!
