You definitely want Julie on your side when purchasing your home. She is knowledgeable, extremely responsive, and always has your back during the process. I just closed today on my new home and it couldn't have gone any smoother thanks to Julie. She even spent time helping me plan out the remodel I hope to do on the home. I highly recommend Julie as your agent.

This was my 6th home purchase/sell, and the ABSOLUTELY WORST experience I have ever had. Julie and her team did NOT listen to anything I said I needed/wanted in a home/offer, gossiped with different sellers agents to artificially increase offers, constantly changed her “advice” after speaking with members of her team (I.e., which shows that she is completely inexperienced and inept at making a decision on her own), and did not assist when I needed follow-up due to an issue with home that was not disclosed by seller. Overall, Julie was bossy, invaded my privacy, and went behind my back in speaking with lenders when I asked to stay out of my affairs. I would not recommend Julie and team to anyone.

Agent Response:
We appreciate the feedback shared by this customer. We regret that this real estate purchase process was not a more comfortable and enjoyable experience for her. Due to the complex nature of real estate we were faced with some challenges that required me and my managing broker to change our strategy to keep the customer's best interests a priority. Moving forward, we will do a better job of communicating and educating our customers when unexpected issues arise. I truly do hope this customer enjoys her new home.2021 (4 Homes)
Julie was incredibly helpful and patient for us as first time buyers. Throughout COVID, she took us to dozens of showings, quickly understanding what we really wanted and needed (even before we did!). We appreciated her honest advice and feedback. As someone who also works in a client advisory role, I really appreciated how Julie was confident in her advice but never put undo pressure on us. I highly recommend her!
I'm so glad I found Julie! She was very knowledgeable and she made sure I understood the different steps in the process. As a first-time home buyer, I found her expertise to be crucial to my decision-making. I viewed about a dozen properties with her, and she pointed out things that I wouldn't have noticed or thought about. She's really there to support you and your needs/vision and I really can't speak highly enough of her!
Julie was fabulous. Great attention to detail. She gave me a lot of valuable insights and opinions about the process and the houses we looked out. She was very responsive to my texts and scheduling time for us to see houses.

My home buying experience with Julie was almost unbelievably smooth and positive. Julie is personable, friendly, responsive, fast, efficient, knowledgeable, accommodating, and just so pleasant to interact with! Everything went super smoothly in my home search and buying process, and Julie's proactive communication, clear explanations, and thoughtful follow up made everything delightful along the way. I wouldn't hesitate a second to work with Julie again in the future, and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

I'll ask him again to help me in the future.
Ultimately we got a great home, although working with Kenny was not so great. We were first time buyers and felt like he didn’t really explain the next stages as we were going through the process. He also wrote the offer up with only 8 days to close and no contingencies without asking us if either of those were ok! Luckily I noticed the no contingencies clause and asked him to change it as we wanted an independent inspection, but I didn’t notice the 8 days clause. This barely gave us enough time to get the inspections we wanted done (and have since found termites in a huge tree stump that touches the house) or get our money together. It was extremely stressful. I wish he had asked us what we wanted the offer to look like before sending it to us for signing. I also feel like we overpaid... Show More

Kenny was absolutely invaluable in assisting and supporting the main sales effort of the lead realtor, Jennifer Ouk. He handled very important details of liasoning with the remodel contractor, Julio. He discreetly aided Ms. Ouk in matters of stage-ing, even fluffing pillows on one occasion. Thank you so much, Kenny!
Kenny made the home buying experience smooth as butter. He literally treated me as a family member, providing advice throughout the whole process. His attention to details during the inspection process of the property like he was buying it for himself throughout, telling us what to expect and to look for that might be concerning. Highly Recommend using Kenny in the next purchase.

We decided to buy some property, and we were on a fairly accelerated timeline because of our then-living situation. After interviews with multiple agents, we decided to move forward with Kenny and Michaela because of their in-depth knowledge of the East Bay and their extensive experience. However, in addition to that knowledge and experience, we were so very impressed and grateful for their client care and responsiveness. They were always super quick to respond to our questions and requests and even helped us clear out some furniture that we did not want to keep. We would recommend Kenny and Michaela for anyone looking for a great team.
Highly recommend!

Thank you to Kenny and his team. I had a hard time with another agent selling my property. Kenny was able to get the job done quickly and very professionally.
Very professional and supportive, he's support from California to Las Vegas our retirement home was more than we expected. His attention to details are second to none. Thank you Kenny Truong for being there for us.

The best thing about Kenny is that he has used his experience make the process efficient and lucrative for selling houses. He invests in the advertising/marketing aspects of the sale (e.g. visibility on all websites, professional photos, floor plans, etc) which translates into a faster sale for possibly more than another realtor. I was extremely satisfied with this. We sold our house within a week for more that I would have expected. He also gave good advice on what we should focus on in home improvements before it went on the market. The only word of caution that I have is that he doesn't 'hold your hand' as much as another dealer. He's very responsive to any requests, but the personal touch is lighter than other realtors. For me, this was a perfect match (I didn't want much of that)... Show More

It was easy to work with Kenny: I picked up houses and he would let me know if they worth visiting. He understood what I wanted very fast, so we did not waste each other’s time.

Kenny was awesome to work with! He is the 2nd realtor that I worked with in purchasing my properties. He worked hard helping me find a property that I'll be happy with and ensuring that I was going to be paying a fair price. What stood out for me was that with my work schedule I'm never sure exactly the time I get off or able to leave to see a house but Kenny was okay with me providing his with short notice to view the properties. He did have a preferred lender that he likes to use due to the closing ratio he had with them but was willing to work with the lender I choose even though I changed it up right when we got into contract (my fault on that). But throughout the whole process he was very prompt at getting back to me and ensuring everything went as smoothly as possible! Even if it... Show More

As far as Realtors go, Kenny and his team is the best I've ever seen. I found him on Redfin and we could not be happier with our experience.

Kenny was good - great and persistent. When I was looking for a home (eagerly) he had a lot of patience when I was bidding during a war! I finally found a home that I was in love with and told him "This is IT!" He got it for me. Yes, I overbid, but looking at the home prices now - a year later - it's a bargain! The best thing I loved about Kenny was that he picked me up from the BART station and had a list of homes that was ideal for me and in my price range. There were a couple of hiccups - which I deducted a couple of points from being a Perfect 10, but overall, I think his eagerness will passion for the job will have you sold.

As new Homebuyers, we were looking for an agent who is not only experienced, but someone who also is really up to date with what's going on in the market, is easily accessible, honest, sincere and knows all the tricks of the trade. Kenny sure proved to be all that. He was very accommodating with our schedule and was always quick to respond to my calls, emails or texts. He was there for every Open House we wanted to attend to make sure he personally connects with the Listing Agent, which, what we believe, gave us a bit of an advantage amongst the other bidders, as the Listing Agent vividly remembered us and Kenny from the Open House.

Kenny has to be the hardest working realtor in the East Bay. Witty yet honest, he is an absolute pleasure to work with. We presented a bit of a challenge with our budget, but he still managed to get us the perfect home that met every item requirement on our list- three bedrooms, hardwood floors, original historic windows, vintage Wedgewood stove, etc.
I know... I'm picky. As a first time buyer, I wouldn't settle for anything less and neither will Kenny. I never expected a realtor to work as tirelessly as he did for me. He's AWESOME!!!
He is the hardest working agent that I know. He is on top of the issues asap at any time. His technology knowledge driving the purchase is absolutely on the spot. No margin of errors. Personable, knowledgeable and easy going. He won my business.
My experience with Kenny Truong was a roller coaster. It has had its highs and its lows. He is very accommodating during our house shopping. This is a plus because both my fiancée and I are very busy with our jobs. We visited more than 20 homes in our house search. So in this regard Kenny was very helpful. With respects to the negotiation and close of our recent home, this is where I feel that Kenny is still inexperienced and lacks negotiation skills. Buying a home is very stressful and it did not help that Kenny would not accurately relay our messages to the sellers party. We understand that the housing market is a seller’s market but it doesn’t mean that we should not negotiate and bend over to the demands of the seller. I felt as though Kenny was not looking out for our better... Show More

Kenny is #fastagent and the tag says it all. He is fast with his marketing skills and abilities to work with other Realtors in finding the best possible offer and returns on the sale of our home. That was one of many reasons we chose Kenny . He's advise was top notch and straight forward. We would definitely use Kenny again if we buy or sell real estate properties. We give Kenny a triple A +AAAAAAA++++++ Many thanks Kenny. You are the best!
Kenny was dedicated to finding us the RIGHT home, knew our market, and stuck with us patiently through multiple offers (sadly necessary in today's Oakland market). He clearly loves his job and wants to do right by his clients - all of them! As first time home buyers, he was there to coach us through all our questions, walked us through the process, even knows a lot of about reputations of local contractors and such so has in a way guided us not only to our new home, but into it as well. I would never hesitate to recommend Kenny to a friend or colleague. He has a huge amount of integrity and I think that will serve him extremely well.

Kenny is everything you want in your favorite real estate agent. He is friendly, honest, to-the-point and most importantly (at least to me) very tech savvy. While showing homes, he always gave me his unbiased opinion of what it takes for that home to become livable, and let me make my decision instead of making decisions for me. I appreciate that thoughtfulness. He also has amazing local know-how of the east bay. But to me, what stood out the most is his ability to get relevant information on a home from the various online tools available, and that too very quickly. This made sifting through homes a faster process, and made me find the right property ahead of others. I thought I make the best use of digital tools, but Kenny beat me to it.

Kenny was my brother's realtor in Oakland and helped him buy his first property. He showed my brother many places until he found the perfect place. Tragically, my brother passed away soon after he moved in. ( I'm still broken hearted). Kenny then represented me and sold my brother's property in just a few months.
