Zaid Hanna Group @ Real Estate 38 - San Jose, California

Akash

If you search “best real estate agent in Bay Area” then sure enough you will see Zaid Hanna’s name pop up. To be honest, I am glad his name came up in our search for a real estate agent after almost 4 unsuccessful years in the housing market. He is not like any other “popular” real estate agent that you might come across in your search; Zaid is very informed of the market and of the San Jose neighborhoods. What we especially appreciated about him was his extremely personable and straightforward demeanor. He was always a pleasure to meet and speak with throughout our search and home buying experience. He understood us and our needs immediately and definitely delivered as the perfect agent for us. As first time home buyers, we felt comfortable and confident as he guided us throughout the entire process. And, he didn’t make us feel inferior in any way, in fact he continually empowered us and gave us a competitive edge as we bid for our home. Overall, we highly recommend Zaid as an excellent real estate agent.

I cannot say enough about my experience with Zaid Hanna and the Hanna Group @ Real Estate 38. I met with Zaid and explained that I was trustee and executor and had to sell a house for a deceased relative. He asked me about my preferences and listened carefully to what I had to say. He then showed me a very personalized and detailed review of the market in my area and what we could expect.

I live 300 miles away and left all the details to Zaid and his team, especially Jason. It was a challenging time for me but he made something that could have been difficult quite easy. Zaid and Jason went above and beyond each step of the way and I couldn't be happier with the result. The house sold quickly, for more that we had expected, and escrow closed without a hitch.

If you are looking for a wonderful real estate team, look no further than Zaid and the Hanna Group.

I have had the pleasure to work with Zaid on two sales and one purchase. He makes his job seem easy. He seamlessly walks you through the entire process without any complications.

Every interaction with Zaid makes you feel as though you are his only client. His ongoing communication afterward make you feel as though you have joined into his extended family.

Today we closed on a sale with Zaid and a concurrent purchase in another county with a rural realtor and title company. I cannot express how blinded we were with the incompetence and lack of professional skills. We were spoiled with Zaid and his "A" team. They are the real deal and manuever every step of the process with ease.

Don't hesitate to go with Zaid. You will be amazed.

Zaid Hanna is the Michael Jordan of real estate! Not a single 4-star review—and for good reason. He’s just that good. Finding Zaid was the best decision I’ve ever made, not just in real estate, but in general.

I still laugh thinking about the day I was sitting in the Chavez Market parking lot. Like another client said, five minutes after I reached out, Zaid called me, and the next day he was at my dad’s house, ready to get started. He doesn’t waste time and is all about results.

From the start, Zaid stood out. I interviewed nine realtors, and he was the clear choice. He’s a true professional. He brought in an incredible team of contractors, stagers, admins, and lenders who worked seamlessly to sell my dad’s house. He priced it perfectly, helped us make the right improvements, and sold it in days for $50,000 over asking!

When it came to buying a new home, Zaid went above and beyond again. He took the time to understand exactly what my family needed, speaking with my dad, my wife, and me to ensure everyone felt heard. Even though I already had a lender, Zaid suggested giving his partner Michael at Wells Fargo a shot. That move saved me a lot—Michael got us a rate a full 1% lower than my broker’s and approved a higher loan amount. Thanks to Zaid, we ended up buying a house that was initially overpriced but got it at a significant discount with seller concessions.

What really sets Zaid apart is how he made me feel like I was his only client. He always took my calls, had answers, and never disappeared—morning, noon, or night, he was there. My wife jokes that I found a “bromance” with Zaid, and honestly, she’s not wrong. Zaid, his contractor Sam, and his lender Michael are permanently saved in my phone and on my Christmas card list.

Zaid is the most organized, reliable, and knowledgeable professional I’ve ever worked with, in any industry. He does what he says, delivers exceptional results, and is worth every penny. I’ll miss working with him, but I’ll never forget how he helped us sell one home in just 7 days and close on a new one in 20.

Thank you, Zaid. You’re the best in the business, and I can’t recommend you enough!

Nini, Zaid and the team at RE38 were very helpful in getting us in to a condo in San Jose. They had great follow up and were very responsive with their communications. Highly recommend this team for the South Bay.

We bought our first home with Zaid Hanna group and they made the whole process so easy! Zaid is really good and finding listings which fits your needs and pointing out details which we would not have even thought about as a new home buyer. He would always squeeze us in his schedule whenever we wanted to see any listing and the whole team is always there to answer any questions we had at any point (and still are). We found our house much faster than anticipated all thanks to the Hanna Group!

My husband and I just bought our first home with the help of Zaid Hanna group. We met Michael at an open house, and the short conversation we had there got us realized that we would be able to get a home we want if we work with Michael. And we were not wrong. After talking to Michael, we met with Zaid, and we were very confident that we found a perfect team to work with. Working with Michael was great. We enjoyed every moment and felt reassured having him on our back. We saw so many houses, and Michael would never say no. We were able to get the home we wanted because of his experiences and knowledge. Even after signing the offer, he was always there to talk to the seller's agent and HoA to help us figure things out. He introduced us to some vendors and lenders, and all of them were as amazing as he was! If you're trying to buy a home, especially the first one, I highly recommend that you reach out to Michael and Zaid Hanna group. They're the most caring and hard-working realtors you would work with! Thanks, Michael and the team, for the amazing journey together!

We had a great experience working with Derek Duncan from the Hanna group. We met Derek in an open house. As were looking for a buyer's agent, we spoke with Derek and he understood what we wanted. We then had a chat with Zaid as well to understand the buying process and how the Hanna group works. After that we decided to go with Derek as he understood what we wanted.

Derek was very patient in the whole process. It took us more than one year to buy our house. We were visiting open houses almost every weekend with Derek. Before coming to the open house Derek would research about the house and find out details like ownership, renovations etc. Often Derek would come to the house 15 minutes prior to the meeting time and would tour the house so that he could tell us better when we looked together. As we grew frustrated with the whole process, Derek would encourage us to keep looking. He was kind and gentle to point us that certain houses were not the ones that fit our criteria and we should not bid for them in a frenzy.

Once we bid for a house with contingency as there was no inspection report. After the inspection report we found that we had to spend upwards of 100k to get the house to a state we liked. We decided not to pursue the house despite pressure from the seller's agent. Derek and Zaid were very supportive of this and did not pressure us in any way.

Finally our bid was accepted for a house we liked. The team was super helpful in helping us close. The sent step by step instructions on what to do next. I would highly recommend Derek and the Hanna Group.
