REAL Brokerage, Amanda Vang, Realtor

Avirup Mullick a month ago

As first-time buyers, we found Amanda through a Gemini search — no referral, no prior connection — and struck gold. From our very first tours she listened to our reactions before sharing her own, which made us comfortable being completely candid. She evaluates every home through a buyer's critical eye — never downplaying problems — and will genuinely recommend against a house: she talked us out of a brand-new home we loved simply because it sat on a busy avenue, and steered us away from school-adjacent streets for the same livability reasons. That's when we knew she was truly on our side. Her hustle matched her honesty: she toured 15–20 homes with us in about a month, was always responsive to our questions, and sent disclosure packages the moment we asked. Her Bay Area knowledge is exceptional — she can instantly tell you what any neighborhood commands and what the right price point is. She taught us to judge homes on what can't be changed — location, lot, foundation — since everything else is fixable, and set our budget ceilings neighborhood by neighborhood with future resale in mind. When frustration made us want to pause and wait for prices to drop, she gave us the honest mecha

We met Amanda at an open house and were impressed by how proactive and communicative she was the days after we met. Her responsiveness and drive were what we were looking for in an agent. Amanda really took the time to listen and understand our preferences. Every week, she curated a thoughtful lineup of homes that perfectly reflected our ongoing feedback. We prefer to process our thoughts after touring rather than on the spot, so her tracking spreadsheet was a perfect for us. It gave us the space to debrief and document our thoughts at our own pace. Our first weekend of tours was a great calibration to understand the different home layouts and areas, and by the second weekend, we found a home we absolutely loved. We submitted an offer as a 'test run' just to learn the paperwork with zero expectations—and it was accepted the next day! The whole thing felt like a whirlwind, but Amanda guided us through it effortlessly. In less than two months, we met her, toured for two weekends, put in one offer, and closed. We trusted her from day one because she was always honest and quick to point out potential issues with a home. If you want a smooth, organized, and transparent home-buying exper

Working with Amanda was the best decision I made during my home search. After a frustrating experience with another agent who became unresponsive and connected me with a pushy lender, I asked friends for recommendations. Amanda reached out that same evening on a Friday to discuss my needs. Within days, I received curated listings with honest insights about HOA situations, building compliance issues, and financing considerations. Amanda proactively educated me about SB326 regulations and their impact on condo financing—critical information I wouldn't have known to ask about. She also identified first-time buyer programs with down payment assistance that made my purchase possible. The process moved remarkably fast. We wrote an offer and had an accepted counteroffer within 24 hours. Throughout inspections, Amanda advocated firmly for necessary repairs and stood by my interests. What sets Amanda apart is her communication style—she genuinely listens to your priorities before offering guidance. She's available when you need her, whether that's early morning or evening, because she's truly invested in getting you the right outcome. Thanks to Amanda's expertise and dedication, I'm now a h

We met Amanda a year ago at an open house in San Jose and immediately felt a strong connection with her. When we later began looking to buy a home, we were under a tight timeline because the condo we were living in was being sold. Amanda was organized, thoughtful, and attentive from the beginning. She created a detailed Google spreadsheet to better understand our needs, likes, and dislikes, and she took the time to truly listen. On our first tour, we found two homes we liked, but we did not get either one. Even so, Amanda helped us stay focused and navigate the ups and downs of the Bay Area market. When we finally found the right home, she worked closely with the lenders and helped us close in less than 18 days. As first-time homebuyers, we especially valued how clearly she explained the process and guided us through every step. I would absolutely recommend Amanda and her team to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Bay Area.

I was referred to Amanda by a mutual friend, and this was my very first time selling a home. I didn’t know what to expect, and to be honest, I was a little hesitant in the beginning about some of the repairs and staging Amanda recommended. The costs surprised me at first, but that was only because I had no idea how much goes into preparing a property to sell. Amanda was very patient with me, explained why each step mattered, and guided me through the entire process. Looking back, I’m so glad I trusted her expertise. The repair and staging company she works with did an absolutely fantastic job. The transformation was incredible, and the results were even better than I could have imagined—my property didn’t even make it to the open market. Amanda listed it on the MLS, and I received two offers above the price we originally discussed. Another thing that really stood out is how much Amanda went above and beyond, especially since I had already moved out of state to Nevada. The entire process was handled virtually, and she made it feel seamless. There were several times she personally went to check on the unit for me, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she truly had everything
