I bought my first home using Silicon Valley Lofts and Condos as my agent. Eric Woodward and Tony Sum found my dream home and made the process a LOT simpler than I ever imagined... The process had been daunting for most of my friends who had experienced frustration and disappointment going through the process. Eric and Tony explained all my home ownership questions in layman's terms and truly found me exactly what I was looking for at a price a LOT less than I had expected. Once I made my decision, they prepared all the paperwork with easy "sign here" tabs... They also found me an incredible mortgage rate through Union Bank. The bottom line... These guys know their stuff and they are HONEST. My business savvy but financially cautious father met with Eric and Tony and was VERY impressed with them. I strongly urge someone looking for a home or condo to meet with these guys.

Joey did a great job helping me to find a home in the Santa Teresa area. I found her to be professional and responsive to my emails and phone calls. I was a first time homebuyer, and Joey was great to work with since I had so many questions. I've since referred her to another friend looking to buy a home in the San Jose downtown area. She works hard, and comes highly recommended by me.

We worked with another agent before we found Joey, and could immediately tell the difference. She took us to a few homes to exactly figure out what our needs and priorities were, and would suggest homes which closely matched them. She was very flexible in accommodating our appointments, and very patient in listening to our needs. And most of all, she is extremely knowledgeable and gives you all the relevant information, but always lets us make the call regarding the offer. We had planned a trip during most of the escrow period, and she handled things very smoothly. Have referred her to multiple friends, and would gladly do so in future. Thanks

Joey is fantastic to work with. She is always the professional and has extensive knowledge of the area and process that makes your life easier during what could be a stressful time. She goes above and beyond to meet and exceed your expectations and makes the experience enjoyable along the way.

My husband and I recently worked with Joey to buy our first home in the Rose Garden area of San Jose. Joey is an absolute joy to work with. She worked very hard to find us a house that met our wants and needs, even thought we were a bit picky! Joey was very patient in working with first time home buyers and walked us through everything step by step. She was always there at any time of day via email, phone call, or text message if we needed anything at all. We loved working with Joey and will continue to work with her for all of our real estate needs! I highly recommend her to everyone and have recommended her to friends who have also purchased properties with her.

Joey is very professional and personable. She is an advocate for her clients and is always ready and willing to help in any part of the house buying process. Joey put me in my first home and I absolutely love it. I couldn't have done it without her guidance and I would recommend her in a heart beat.

I made the decision to sell my condo because the time was right and it is a seller’s market. I chose Eric because he came highly recommended by a good friend of mine. There are a few things I really liked about working with Eric. He has a great staff that works with him, (Thanks for everything, Camille) he is really easy to talk to and he will get back to you in a very timely manner when you have a question or concerns. It’s not a day later but within a few hours at most. I would highly recommend Eric and Silicon Valley Loft and Condos to my family and friends

It's not easy to express how wonderful it has been to work with Eric twice in the past 3 years, first helping me find and purchase a home, then 3 years later selling that home. He and his staff truly know how to help you obtain top dollar for your property and fully support you through the entire process. He grew up here and has been in real estate for many years, so he knows all the different areas here like the back of his hand, including the history and pros and cons of different areas, communities, and properties. I know I am an extremely demanding client, and Eric truly listened to and followed up on all of my questions and concerns. He helped me prioritize some fixes and improvements that maximized the sales price and helped obtain multiple offers with minimal contingencies. Then he brought in an incredible network of people that did an amazing job improving and staging my home. In fact I honestly had second thoughts about selling my home after I saw how amazing my it looked once it was staged. Erik nailed the right asking price and advertising strategy to attract multiple strong offers quickly, and helped me pick the right offer. Even when the buyer had issues securing their loan and I started to panic, Erik gave me extremely wise advice that turned out to be very beneficial to the outcome of the sale. Erik always went above and beyond to support me and help me make decisions, both when selling my home and when I was hunting for a house. His deep knowledge and caring demenaor put me at ease and gave me the confidence that I was making the right decisions. Everything Erik does is done in a professional way, with support from his office team, and I am just grateful that I was able to have him be my agent. I'm tough to win over but Eric hit it out of the park twice for me. I recommend him 100%.

for over 7 years, Eric was my property manager and in all this period his performance, response and customer service was always first class. From the most smallest of the tenant's or HOA issues, to the largest and more complexed, Eric was always on top of things. When the time came to sell the property Eric was the listing agent as well and once again, the selling process went smoothly. I recommend Eric and his team as truly first class professionals for your real estate needs.

Selling our home was fast and easy. Eric and his team was amazing. He was always available by phone, email, and text. I would highly recommend his services.

We had a wonderful experience with Eric. He was able to connect us with local contractors in order to have some updates made prior to putting our house on the market and oversaw the work being done. He was very responsive and kept us in the loop throughout the process and we would definitely use him again in the future.

Eric is an expert in downtown San Jose and the surrounding area. He has special expertise in lofts and condos. Eric's business is very brisk and he has up to the minute pricing data. I used Eric for both a purchase and a sale. He gave me excellent advice. Selling in Silicon Valley is a bit easier than buying in this market. The home stager he used made my unit look fabulous! I competed with several other bidders when buying a property, but was able to get it because of Eric's reputation as a reliable agent with reliable clients.

Eric does a very good job of marketing the property but he is perhaps best at getting the right (and highest) price. We had multiple bids and he showed us the best offer.

When we witnessed the amazing and impressive turnout of the open house of our neighbor's townhouse, we knew who we wanted to hire when we wanted to sell ours, and we did! Eric and his entire staff were so professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Eric was so reassuring as we navigated the entire process from getting ready to sell to moving out. Our townhouse sold within the first week with multiple offers. Look no further, Eric Woodward is who you are looking for!

We sold our old house and bought our new house both with Eric. Both me and my husband are impressed with everything he did. Eric is very professional, knowledgable, detailed, organized, and always kept us updated. He is also very friendly. We contacted Eric when we wanted to sell our old house. Before he came over to meet with us for the first time, Eric already did a lot of research on the neighborhood and on the recent real estate activities around the area. He brought over a nice proposal along with all the information he has researched and presented his plan on how he would be selling our house. He was so detailed and organized and always kept us updated through the whole process. He sent us schedules on everything planned so we knew exactly the dates on what was going to happen. Eric took care of everything for us (like cleaning, small fixing, staging etc) to make our house to its best condition before selling. Our house was sold in just a week (with just one weekend of open house) and sold with a very satisfying price. He has good connections with lots of good people too like loan agent, handy man, cleaners etc, that you will need when buying/selling houses. Eric was also very helpful in finding our new house. He gave us good potential houses that matched with our criteria. He responded quickly whenever we wanted to see a house. He was very willing to show you to any house that you want to see, even if the house is far. He would show us the house at the earliest possible time the seller allowed, so you will never miss any house that you are interested in. He has good buying strategies too, so we got accepted for the first offer that we made. Buying and selling a house could be complicated, but Eric has made it a pleasant experience for us. He is really the best agent that I've seen and I highly recommend Eric if you need to buy or sell.

Did several transactions (4 buy, 2 sell & property management). I had nothing else then great experiences working with Eric & his team. He took complexity out of any deal, knows the local market like nobody else and is an honest stand up guy!

I've now used Tony to buy and sell several properties and love working with him. When representing you as a seller he really goes all out with marketing materials, open houses, digital promotion...the works. And as a buyer he's extremely honest and ethical which makes all parties involved feel like it's a win-win. Also, Tony is lawyer which provides you, as his client, with an extra layer of protection at no extra cost - a two-for-one! Bottom line - Tony is a motivated, smart, ethical real estate agent who I highly recommend whether you're looking to buy or sell.

Tony was great to work with!!! This was our first time buying a house, and he was extremely helpful in guiding us through the process. We had a lot of questions and always received answers in a timely matter (if he didn't know he would always work to get them addressed).

My husband and I feel fortunate to have found Joey. One thing that makes Joey stand out above others is her genuine personality. It shows through in all aspect of the very stressful process of home buying/selling. We knew we were in good hands with her as our buying agent to put our best foot forward. She is able to provide excellent guidance throughout the process in helping us weigh out the pros/cons. Both as our selling/buying agent we have seen how dedicated and knowledgeable she is. Great communication. Highly recommend her.

I had a great experience working with Tony and his team. Tony was very knowledgeable and very likable. I couldn't be more pleased with the experience of purchasing a home with the help of Tony. I would use him again in a heartbeat!

Tony was on the ball from the get-go. We chose Tony as our Realtor as he had represented the seller when we originally bought our condo and we could not be happier with his services when we decided to sell that property this spring. He was very responsive, and provided excellent advice and marketing support throughout the whole process. Heck, he did such a great job with the photography, virtual tour and brochure that if we weren’t selling, I would have bought it myself! Getting an offer at listing price less than 2 days after listing was fantastic and even after a small adjustment before close, we were very happy with the end result. Shame all those great color brochures were not needed as this went so fast we didn’t even need the open house! I would not hesitate in recommending Tony for any real estate needs in the Bay Area.

Eric was very professional, methodical, amicable and able to successfully sell my unit in San Jose, meeting both my price and timeline requirements. I had previously interviewed a few agents and he was definitely above the rest in terms of knowledge and professionalism. I'd highly recommend working with Eric for any real estate transaction.

I can't recommend Tony and his team enough. They sold my house in record time. I originally contacted Tony because he had started a company called "Silicon Valley Lofts and Condos," their office was 15 blocks from my house, and MLS showed that he had sold hundreds of properties like mine in the vicinity. There's a big difference between selling a house and selling a condo, and I noticed that Tony specialized in working with both first-time homebuyers and investors. I thought he would be uniquely knowledgeable about the market in my area, and diligent and patient with me. My building was more than 50% tenant-occupancy so I knew that would be difficult to maneuver, AND I was moving out of the area and had a lot of questions. He didn't disappoint. Tony assured me that he could sell my condo after visiting the unit for the first time, and I was really struck by his confidence. He answered all my questions and understood that I still had doubts. Then, just weeks before we listed, he saw that my neighbor with an identical unit in the same building listed for way below the price I had decided on. Tony and I discussed this issue many times, and the effect it would have on my listing. He made some calls to my neighbor's agent to better understand what their strategy was, which was to prompt a bidding war and entertain lots of bids. Tony actually advised me to wait to list my place (!!), and helped me as I brought in a short-term tenant so I lost no income in the process. Tony called as soon as my neighbor's place sold (it took them two months). When my tenant moved out, Tony had everything lined up ready to go: his team went there several times to clean, do repairs, take photos, inspections, everything. I didn't lift a finger, other than to read through and electronically sign digital versions of my end of the escrow papers. When sending me paperwork to sign, Tony and the escrow officer would outline: Here are some known pitfalls, be careful answering #4, make sure to list this and this in question 11. They even suggested verbiage for how to the difficult questions. Even still, I missed a few items on the first pass, and they patiently sent just those pages back to me to review again, explained why I needed to complete those questions a particular way. From what I could see remotely, the crew was OUTSTANDING! They did very minimal staging and just a few hundred dollars' worth of cleaning and repairs. My HOA never complained about noises or doors being left open. The photos of my place were so beautiful that I cried when he first sent them to me! Throughout the process, Tony and his assistant narrated for me: Tomorrow we will be doing X, the following day, we'll do Y, we'll send you copies of everything. Sometimes messages would come at midnight on a weekend; I knew that Tony was exhausted from doing multiple open houses, but he always found time to call or message to keep me in the loop. He was always cheerful and reassuring whenever I was anxious. His messages wold start off: Hey, I know you're far away so you're probably wondering what's going on. Or: Nothing to worry about, but Z happened today, and we took care of it in this way. Tony's interpersonal skills could land him a job as a therapist! He openly invited me to be involved and micromanage if I wanted to, but I didn't. I was sure I was in good hands the whole time. We had a full, all-cash offer just 48 hours after posting. Tony negotiated to remove all contingencies, escrow closed in seven days (!!), and I received the cash proceeds in my bank account within two weeks. Tony sold my place for much more than my neighbor's identical unit in the same building, in less than a quarter of the time. There were a few sticking points (my tenant had left furniture in the unit, and there was a confusion with my HOA) nothing to do with the realty company. But Tony continued to follow through with all of that after escrow closed and the sale was complete. He went above and beyond to make sure I was fully satisfied. And I was, with no regrets. I couldn't have asked for a more sensitive and knowledgeable realtor. For me, he was a perfect match.

Tony was a wonderful agent. From our initial consultation until our final papers were signed he was knowledgeable, friendly, easy going, and a pleasure to work with. He kept my wife and I in the loop for every detail, and our condo sold for well in excess of our asking price within 2 days. The hardest part of working with Tony was figuring out which great offer was the best. He's a good guy - trustworthy, and knowledgable. I'd work with him again.

Tony steered us (sellers) through a series of very challenging issues, including repeated buyers' delays in closing. He was reasonable, firm, solution-oriented, and represented us well. We also appreciated his thorough familiarity with condos in our area, his knowledge of law, and deep experience with our building and the downtown San Jose market.

Eric is a fantastic realtor! I've worked with 6 realtors purchasing and selling homes and by far, Eric is the best. I was very impressed by his knowledge of the neighborhood and sales but it is really his approach and team that made the experience unusual and extremely successful. I sold my place recently and was shocked at the offers I received - many of which were quite high due to Eric's work. I know this because I had only owned the property for one year and price differential for the unit was significant for the area. His approach is extremely easy and efficient. I also was going through breast cancer treatment during the same time and was limited in what I could do to move out. Eric's team made this part super easy for me as well - hiring and managing people to move my things. Thank you so much!!

Tony is honest and diligent and easy to work with. He worked hard to get us the best deal possible on a beautiful house, and his team and recommendations made the entire process relatively painless and quick.

We didn't give Tony much notice that we were in the market, but he immediately jumped in and helped us navigate our first home purchase. Tony provided us with the answers to all our questions and also answered questions we didn't know we should be asking, giving us confidence that we had the information we needed to make big decisions. Tony's attention to detail, knowledge and negotiation skills are first rate, which is not surprising given his background as a practicing attorney. He skillfully negotiated with the other side, getting us a deal we were very happy with. The whole process was smooth. From finding top-notch professionals to help us (mortgage broker, inspectors, escrow agent, etc.), to giving us the benefit of his experience with regard to the condition of the property, to guiding us through the purchase process, Tony was there every step of the way. I can't imagine having a better home-buying experience, and Tony was a huge part of that.

Tony Sum helped my ex and I to sell our condo in axis and he did a fantastic job considering the sensitive situation as we were going threw our final stages of our divorce. Tony made me feel very comfortable during the sale of the condo that I then asked him to help me find a new home for a new beginning! Tony took care of everything from explaining and attending every part of the process to insure I understood everything knowing that my ex used to take care of those things for me. I am very happy with my new home and I couldn’t have done it without him! So, yes! yes! yes! I would highly recommend Tony Sum to all my friends, family and anyone who is looking for an honest, kind, understanding and professional Realstate agent!

I came to know Tony as we were moving and wanted to rent our apartment. Since many folks in our condo used Silicon Valley Lofts as property managers, we decided to talk to them. Tony came by to talk to us and he came across as very professional and knowledgeable. Since I was selling my townhouse, I went with them as well. At all times, he explained the process clearly and transparently. He laid out the various scenarios for the things like staging, paint, upgrading appliances, etc. and how they potentially impact the offers. As my wife and I were out of the country during the sale, he even took care of moving out my tenants and prepping the home for sale. Tony is also a smart negotiator (extremely important skill to have for an agent) and the final offer I accepted way exceeded my expectations. Bottom-line, Tony is an honest, knowledgeable and smart agent for anyone looking to get the best deal possible whether you're looking to buy or sell.

We have known Tony Sum for several years and, knowing that he was an expert in the Downtown market, he was our clear choice when it came time for us to sell our condo. He did an excellent job guiding us through the transaction process, always keeping us informed and making sure that we knew exactly what to expect. Tony made the entire selling process smooth and painless. We are very happy with the entire experience and the results of working with Tony. For anyone who is looking to buy or sell real estate, we stronly recommend Tony!

It was our first time buying a home, and Tony's expertise and experience have made it easy and smooth. He has integrity and honesty and your best interests at heart, which can be rare to find especially in the real estate market. Tony has been knowledgable and patient with our questions and great to work with.

Tony Sum is a most outstanding realtor to work with. As my listing agent, he helped me with suggestions and direction on how to achieve the best possible result from my house sale. He is extremely pleasant and knowledgeable, and his marketing skills are the reason my house sold so quickly and brought a great sale price. He was very detailed and accurate with the listing and knew what to highlight. He ensured my listing was on all the real estate websites. The professional pictures featured in the booklet that was given to people viewing the house were beautiful. Tony used a professional staging company and they did an amazing job and I know that also helped sell my house. Most importantly, Tony's marketing and negotiating skills are phenomenal and I couldn't be happier with the entire process and outcome.

To preface, we have purchased, owned, rented, and sold many properties. Tony helped us list and sell our most recent home. He was extremely knowledgable and accommodating. From prior to listing through closing, Tony was with us EVERY step of the way, giving advice and encouragement. At no point throughout was there any doubt that he was very experienced and trustworthy. We have recommended him to a dozen people already, reflecting the confidence that was instilled by him. To summarize, Tony is easily the best realtor we have ever worked with.

I cannot speak highly of enough of our experience working with Tony to sell our condo. Specifically, I feel Tony’s expertise ensured that: • We got the best price for our condo • In the shortest amount of time • With the least amount of effort on our part These were enabled by: • His knowledge of our market. The condo market in downtown San Jose is a pretty niche market, different from the rest of the Bay Area. I feel that Tony’s knowledge of this market helped ensure we got the best price for our condo • His knowledge of our condo and association ensured that the process went quickly, with minimal effort from us to navigate the sales process with the HOA • His access to service providers who dealt with our “delayed maintenance” allowed us to resolve these issues quickly and with minimal effort on our part • His skills working with the buyers and their agents allowed us to get the best price with a very short negotiation timeline. This was critical to us due to upcoming overseas travel Tony exceed our expectations and we were extremely pleased with the process and results. We would definitely use Tony again and highly recommend him.

I worked with Tony on the sale of my 2 bedroom flat at Plant 51 in San Jose. He was absolutely excellent--extremely knowledgeable, very diligent on marketing my condo and managing details through the escrow, a great communicator, and super easy to work with. We had three other condos virtually identical to mine come on the market just after we listed. Tony managed to land an all cash offer on my unit at top dollar while the other three units remained unsold at the time of my close several weeks later. I believe Tony's expertise was instrumental in our success. We priced my unit perfectly, we set the unit up to show well, and Tony did a great job with the open houses and generating interest in the unit. His counsel on reviewing offers was invaluable. I also appreciate that Tony is a lawyer, so was able to provide solid advice on the contractual matters related to the sale. Bottomline, I would work with Tony again in a heart beat, and highly recommend him.

We recently sold our 2500+ square foot condo in downtown San Jose, CA. This was a challenge--we had only THIRTY DAYS to obtain a solid offer from a cash buyer with no contingencies—or we would lose the dream house we were trying to purchase. We also knew timing was difficult--we were 6-8 weeks early for the downtown property market. We chose Tony Sum of Silicon Valley Lofts & Condos for several reasons: • Knowledge of the San Jose real estate market—particularly condos • Expertise in business, marketing and real estate • A very talented, solid, high performance team in the office • A deep list of great contractors who were available when needed—painters, cleaners, repairmen, movers, etc • Direct and honest communication with advice and guidance • Great team player—he worked for us AND with us Tony delivered on everything we hoped for: • Pointers given on a walk-thru for editing and staging; • Showings started within THREE days of signing; • Inspections, photo & video shoots, brochures within SEVEN DAYS • Open houses each weekend, plus a Brokers’ open & multiple showings starting Day 10 • Most important and amazing: the qualified, no contingency buyer contract was signed in 31 days @ $1,220,000.00. We highly recommend Tony Sum and Silicon Valley Lofts & Condos for anyone who is planning to list their property for sale. You will definitely be in good hands throughout the entire process. We will always be grateful for Tony’s incredible efforts.

I met Tony when I was buying my condo in 2009 so when it was time to sell it, I automatically signed up with him again. Tony (and the SV Lofts & Condos) team did a fantastic job of getting my condo sold in just under one month.

I could never have imagined that selling a property would be so easy. Tony and his team were excellent from start to finish. Their advice and guidance along the way was invaluable, and they went above and beyond in helping me find movers at short notice. The property was staged beautifully, the marketing materials were outstanding and they were creative in how they showcased the property e.g. twilight cocktail reception to show the property with the city lights as backdrop. As a result of their expertise, my property sold very quickly and for a great price. I would highly recommend Silicon Valley Lofts & Condos, and in particular Tony, to anyone who is thinking of selling.

You can’t go wrong with Tony Sum in your corner. He sold our downtown condo in three weeks and handled all aspects of the sale: prep, showings, negotiations, and escrow process. It was such a boon to have a competent, honest and hard working sales person representing us!

My husband Mike and I came to Eric with a challenge...sell our condo in two weeks. We risked losing a home that we had an offer on if we couldn't sell our current condo in downtown San Jose. Eric gladly accepted the challenge and immediately made us feel at ease knowing we had made the right decision in choosing him and his company. Eric's knowledge of the downtown SJ market and of the types of buyers that consider living there was spot on. He and his marketing guru, Lucia, knew exactly how to market to this type of buyer. Due to the Covid era that we were selling in, we weren't able to have open houses. This meant that potential buyers needed to be vetted before seeing our home, we had many interested parties before contracting with our eventual buyer with a full asking-price offer. We were very happy with Eric and team's ability to market and then sell our home. We highly recommend Eric and team to anyone considering selling their home. You will be WELL taken care of!

My sister and brother-in-law had such a great experience working with Joey during their search and subsequent purchase of a home; she was the obvious choice when I was in need of a realtor. She lived up to the hype and with her guidance and expertise I found the perfect place for my daughter and me in this highly competitive market. She really listened to our specific wants and needs and did not make me feel pressured to make an offer or decision on anything I was not sure about. She answered all my questions in a timely manner and was in constant communication with me, the lender, and listing agents to make the whole process go as smoothly and as stress-free as possible. I feel fortunate to have had her in my corner and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Joey is the best of the best! We had a tricky checklist of what we were looking for. Joey was so patient with us and showed us many houses over several months. When we finally found the right house, she went above and beyond! We got the house that is just right for us and we are so happy. Joey is wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.

We have the pleasure of working with Tony on at least 3 occasions in both buying and selling homes. He is hard-working, detail-oriented, and most of all trustworthy. He makes every and all transactions a positive experience. I'd recommend him without any hesitation

If you want the very best in the business, Tony Sum is your man! He's hard-working, knowledgeable, extremely responsive, and always in control of a high-stakes situation. I couldn't be more grateful for his help buying my first home. When I was browsing properties, he patiently talked me through the pros and cons of each one we visited. I never felt rushed to make an offer; he truly wanted to find me the perfect place to hang my hat. His insight and local knowledge was invaluable throughout the whole process. He helped me understand each property as a home and as an investment; expertly assessed how they might appreciate / depreciate over time; and ultimately made sure I was making a wise, well-informed decision for my future. Once I finally found a property I wanted to buy, Tony was there every step of the way to expertly advise my decisions and skillfully negotiate on my behalf. The day after I made my initial offer, a competing buyer delivered an enticing 3-hour ultimatum to the seller. If I had any other realtor, I wouldn't have even found out until after the property was sold — but Tony immediately reached out so that we could actuate quickly and deliver a well-considered counter-offer. Tony Sum has your back like no one else!

I have worked with Tony Sum on several occasion. He is very thorough and consistent. I can always count on him to look out for our best interests in every transaction. Highly recommend him, his team and associates!

Tony guided us through the challenge of selling our family’s 70-year-old home. Within less than six weeks he gave our old homestead a facelift with fresh paint, new lighting and upgraded flooring; listed it; held Open Houses and successfully sold it. He supported us at every step and was always available for explanation of procedures and clarification to our questions. Selling our childhood home was an emotional occasion, but Tony handled it (and us) with both empathy and professionalism.

I had the pleasure of working twice with Eric, once as the buyer and once as the seller. In a world of so many agents, Eric sets himself apart with local market knowledge and expertise of a process that can be very stressful at times. As well, he was available 7 days/wk to provide advise and answer questions based on his many years of experience. What might be the best compliment...he came highly recommended from other real estate professionals.

We moved from Paso Robles to Morgan Hill. Joey was our realtor in buying our house in Morgan Hill. We found Joey to be the ideal realtor as she displayed vast expertises in her knowledge of real estate. She is polite, easy to get along and very prompt in resolving any difficulty in complex situations. She is dependable, honest and (oh boy!!! ) is she always ON TIME. We feel extremely fortunate to have Joey as our realtor. Thanks to our daughter as well who recommended Joey to us.

Tony has a focus on his clients and services them during and for years after their real estate transaction(s). He is the best. He is excellent in both thee pricing and legal efforts to protect his clients and obtaining the best financial transaction. Tony assists his clients in every step of the process and brings in subject matter experts when needed. He brings value to every aspect of the real estate. He is a subject matter expert with a focus on Santa Clara transactions.

Tony was an amazing partner in selling our condo in Downtown San Jose and buying our first house in Willow Glen. He provides strong insights and clear explanations throughout the entire buying and selling process. He's very thorough, responsive, and analytical. Tony's not just a realtor but a partner in real estate.

Joey is fantastic! She has helped me buy two homes in San Jose and Morgan Hill. She is quick to find homes to look at. she is honest and trustworthy. I recommend her to all of my friends. The buying process was easy with Joey.

I had a great consultation with Tony and was very impressed with his expertise in the local Real Estate market. Upon arrival, he provided me with a high quality marketing package customized for the property I want to sell. It must have took a long time to prepare. He is very knowledgeable about how to detect areas for repair and has a clear direction for how to properly market the home for sale. He also has the connections to help the seller save money on repairs and renovation. He comes across as very easy going, calm and not pushy. I would recommend him to my friends and relatives to help buyers and sellers of real estate.

Eric has been our real estate agent for over 5 years and we cannot recommend him and his team enough. He is uncommonly intelligent, skilled, and reliable. When selling your home they do thorough research, develop a killer marketing plan, provide the optimal amounts of updates/renovation to maximize your home's curb appeal, stage it immaculately, and target marketing precisely to attract the right buyers. And they do all of this in record time (the complete turn-around from moving out, to accepting an offer [15% higher than our asking price] was less than one month)! As a buying agent he has helped us avoid bad investments by always doing thorough research into disclosures and HOA financials and by-laws (when applicable). He always advises buying conservatively to ensure the long-term happiness of his clients (he looks out for our family as his own). We have complete peace of mind whenever we work with Eric. He is the best of the best and we will not hesitate to contact him the moment we plan on buying another home.

Tony is amazing!! I have a high pressure job and my condo is located 50 miles away. I was not able to be a hands-on seller. Tony took the reins and kept me informed every step of the way. Tony took care of the remodeling, minor repairs, paint. He skillful worked with the HOA. He priced my condo at a fair amount and got over asking price after just 2 open house weekends. Tony knows the market. With his expertise, my condo showed beautifully. I highly recommend Tony and his team. He is a joy to work with.

Tony is very thorough and always look out ways to help us get the best price and best negotiation for our properties. I worked with him on several properties and I am always satisfied and impressed with his work. I recommend him highly!!

We went back to Eric and Upswing Realty because we had such an amazing experience with them 15 years ago when purchasing our home. They were EVEN BETTER when selling. From start to finish, Eric was amazing and guided us through the process. At the last minute, the buyers threw a monkey wrench into the process that nearly blew the deal apart. Eric handled it like a Jedi and made sure everything worked out exactly as planned. Cannot recommend him highly enough, and his team was the best ever!

Tony made everything very easy. He handled the updates and repairs without my involvement. Then he listed it and it sold within a week for the asking price.

We were lucky enough to find Eric and decided quickly to use him as our realtor. We were first time Home buyers and the process seemed daunting to say the least. Eric was extremely helpful from day 1. He made us feel relaxed, confident, and kept us educated about every step along the way. It’s clear he’s been doing this work a long time and was able to help us avoid some trouble and also able to give us some good advice along the way. If you’re reading this review in search of a realtor - chose Eric and don’t look back.

I worked with Eric at Upswing recently to sell my house in San Jose. Eric and his team helped me to give a quick face lift to my family's 40+ year old home. He was extremely responsive and kept in touch with me for every step of the process. My home came out beautifully and his team showed it quickly and I was fortunate enough for it to sell quickly- a major challenge in this market. I would absolutely use Upswing again and recommend his service to friends.

I had the pleasure of working with Eric when we sold our condo in Foster City. He and his staff took care of all the details in getting the unit ready for listing and in the sale. He kept me informed at all times. His knowledge and expertise are top notch. I would highly recommend him.

Eric was great to work with, especially for a first time buyer. He helped every step of the way for showing many options, finding a place to buy, going through the paperwork and disclosures, negotiation, financing, and closing. He made the whole thing very easy. I would definitely recommend him to others looking to buy in the San Jose area.

Joey always goes above and beyond for her clients. She helped us purchase and sell our home. She has knowledge, experience, and is quick answer questions or ease concerns. I’d recommend her for anyone in need of a great realtor! Thanks Joey!

Eric went above and beyond what is expected from a realtor. He and his staff helped us get through the difficult process of selling my parents home after their passing. He took care of arranging all inspections and cleanings for us and was very thoughtful in planning the showings and open houses around our needs. He made a stressful situation much easier. He was wonderful to work with. Thank you Eric.

Eric sold our condo in about 5 days just this last November - it was unbelievably quick in this housing market! His recommendations, personnel support and negotiation skills were outstanding. He is the real estate professional to be working with if you are buying or selling today. Highly, highly recommend Woody!

Tony sold two downtown San Jose condos for me in a very difficult market. Through professional marketing, open houses that he himself held, and superior negotiating, Tony got me top dollar. Extra parking and storage units which needed to be sold separately, added to the challenge and he brought those in at top dollar as well. Tony is a real estate broker and a real estate attorney with superior organizational skills. He has top notch contacts to fill any need in getting properties market ready and he is willing to supervise their work. Throughout the process, Tony responded immediately to any questions I had and was respectful of my time and my needs. I knew Tony's reputation when I hired him, and he surpassed my expectations.

Tony helped navigate the negotiations of my transaction. He showed up every time I wanted to see the unit again. He is knowledgable about the building and the neighborhood. I ended up paying a very reasonable price. Tony was very patient with my co-buyers questions and suggestions as well. He worked well with my agent, and made sure the unit was ready (staging was removed), so I could move in on time. I would recommend Tony to anyone who wants a smart, friendly agent.

Eric Woody Woodward was a true professional when we were selling my my grandmother's house. He was knowledgeable with the San Mateo area and was very helpful in explaining the current market conditions. I would not hesitate with working with him in any future sales. Great job Woody.

Eric and the team did an amazing job with the sale of my condo. Their knowledge of the Ryland Mews community and the downtown SJ condo culture was extremely helpful to me as I had never sold a property before. Eric walked me through each step, provided through competitive market analysis and suggested ways to drive the market to my property. We were able to get an off-market offer of my condo for full off-market asking price with an 18 day close!! Highly recommend Eric and the Upswing team if you have property to sell in downtown SJ or anywhere in San Jose!

Eric and his team did a great job selling our condo in downtown San Jose. They made everything easy and the transaction went very smoothly. They communicated clearly and regularly. We could not have asked for more.

I worked with Eric's firm Upswing for a few years, they provided property management services while I rented out my San Jose condo, and recently Eric helped me sell the condo. He has great knowledge of the market, and was creative in helping me get the most we could for my home even though the buying environment was very challenging. He and his sister Kathleen run an ethical business and provide great customer service to their clients.

Tony is professional every step of the way. The selling process of our penthouse condo was smooth and successful. I would continue using his expertise on real estate transactions and recommend him to anyone in need of a professional to guide them through the real estate process.

Woody knows the market well and is very responsive. He uses a curated cadre of professionals to help clean up and prep for pictures, video and showings. He helped us find and purchase our home 15 years ago, and now he's helped us sell it. Very friendly and outgoing personality. Meticulous in detail and openly communicative. Outstanding realtor.

Honestly, Tony did a better job than we expected anyone to do. Always in touch…at any time. Tony handled two sales for us and the results and entire process were smooth and quick with a better outcome than anticipated. Definitely would recommend Tony to anyone!
