About Me

With a decade of real estate industry experience and having helped hundreds of happy home owners buy, sell, and rent - Real Estate Agent Kent Chen primarily focuses on the San Francisco Bay Area marketplace. From new construction to single family homes, lofts to multi-family residences, Kent Chen is the agent you want to represent you.

Living in San Francisco, one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, I am able to accommodate to each of my clients' unique needs due to my diverse background. I am a multi-linguist with the ability to speak, write, and understand Cantonese, Mandarin, and English. These language skills are an integral part of my success in real estate, where I meet clients from all walks of life and from different parts of the world. My main goal is to be able to connect deeper with my clients in order to really understand what they are looking for from their lifestyles, backgrounds to their future goals and needs. More importantly I will discuss strategies with you to help you get that home and so you can understand the entire process. I also love to listen to feedback, so we can work together through the various challenges. My favorite part of being a real estate agent is being able to help my clients find that home to start a family, investment property, or for those first-time homebuyers, their first home to be able to call their own. I look forward to helping you, and please reach out if you have any questions!

  • 100% Kent ... Many of the other clients here have mentioned his knowledge of the market, patience, dedication to his clients, and work ethic. We couldn't agree more with those sentiments. (As first-time home buyers, we almost couldn't believe that he also read a 459-page (!) disclosure on a property and then answered our many questions with alacrity and insight - we knew we were in excellent hands!)

    To join in with other client reviews that have commented on his strategic mind: this is where we thought he really shined! It was one thing to see properties with him and review disclosures and home inspections, but when we asked him 'how do we get this house?' he already had a strategy for us. It was well-informed by his experience as both a buyer's and seller's agent, thorough research, and attention to our financials. Although the SF market is so competitive (as you know), his strategy was designed to get us the winning offer at the best price. It was fun to discuss and then put his strategy into play - and it worked!

    After landing the deal, we talked to friends in and out of the Bay Area about their home-buying experience. It was surprising to hear of the varying levels of attention and expertise our friends received from their realtors and it just made us appreciate Kent even more!

  • My parents and I had the fortune to be introduced to Kent through a friend. He did a wonderful job as our realtor and helped us find a home that my parents loved! Kent readily shared his extensive knowledge about real estate in the aggressive SF Bay Area market, and, most importantly, was available whenever we had a question or wanted to see a house. He gave honest advice and feedback regarding every listing we were interested in and made sure we were aware of any potential downsides to the property in the short and long term. Kent's ability to speak Chinese was also invaluable when it came to assuring that my parents understood the whole real estate process. I would highly recommend Kent to others seeking an honest and reliable realtor.

  • Kent was the best real estate to help us buy our first home. We started our home buying journey remote (both my fiancé and I had COVID at the time), and Kent was so accommodating with setting up time to walk us through the process and even visiting homes on our behalf and FaceTiming us in! He was quick to understand our preferences and was honest in his evaluations of different options - he knows the SF neighborhoods super well. He also discussed negotiation tactics with us, and it was clear he understood the best ways to navigate each situation / seller’s agent.

    One of the most stand-out things about Kent is that he really has the interests of his buyers in mind. Even though he represents a specific brokerage, we always felt he was on our side, even if the seller’s agent was also from the same brokerage.

    We would not hesitate to work with Kent again for our future Bay Area real estate needs.

  • Kent was fantastic in guiding us through the process of buying a home in the Sunset neighborhood in San Francisco.

    We were pretty particular in our requirements especially in terms of neighborhood and Kent was really insightful into what was going on in the market.

    Kent was tireless both in terms of responding to texts, emails, calls, and taking us out to see places in addition to being incredibly positive and encouraging.

  • Kent’s responsiveness, energy and dedication is felt from first contact. Kent helped us navigate the extremely choppy waters that is SF real estate during these unprecedented times. His optimism and consistency ultimately helped us close on our first home. He was there every step of the way, was extremely helpful in getting the info and quotes needed to make thoughtful decisions about what we were willing to do. After close, our relationship has continued with his helping us in this transition to home ownership. We cannot recommend Kent enough!
