Our Experience
Bringing knowledge into action.
We will assist you through every step of your real estate journey.
Ky is an exceptional professional! He knew the market and appropriately priced the property for an expedient response. From start to finish, the sales transaction completed in 15 days. In the past six months, he represented our family and friends in the buying/selling process with great success and satisfaction by all. It was obvious that his goal was to serve . . . and with that heart, his service was impeccable. He us not only our REALTOR, he is part of our family.
Ky is simply the BEST! It is a privilege to nominate him for this prestigious award that distinguishes him as a role model for the real estate industry and rewards him for his excellent work.
Ky was actively involved every step of the transaction. He worked to ensure the transactions was smooth. Worked with the buyer’s realtor and escrow agents to facilitate outstanding tasks did not delay the close. He was professional and an ideal agent.
As first time sellers, we were both hesitant and excited. Ky took the time to explain the selling process and really listened to what we hoped to achieve through the sale of our house. What sets him apart is his compassion and dedication to helping people like us achieve our goals as sellers. With our best interests in mind, he provided us with honest advice from his years of experience, as well as practical and realistic advice about what we could expect. We truly believe that Ky’s incredible work ethic and attention to detail combined with his persistence and determination, allowed us to have a successful transaction. We achieved what we initially set out to do and then some, as we closed above the asking price. Ky is a phenomenal agent and more than we could have hoped for. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy and/or sell.
Ky provided us with exceptional service from beginning to end. When we contacted him about our interest in selling our home, he was more than willing to spend time and communicate with us the steps of the process. He came to our home to discuss the details and how to prepare for the open house. Ky made sure to reassure us every step in the process of the decisions to be made and that it was completely in our hands. He did not push us through the process, instead he provided guidance and time for us to make our decisions. It was a smooth transaction and without his support and expertise, it would have been impossible for us to have had a successful sale of our home. We are extremely happy and satisfied clients of Ky Lao and Five Star Realty.
