Burt Tsuei - San Mateo County Realtor - Burlingame, California

Daniel &. M. N.

We had the pleasure of working with Burt in purchasing our home! We were impressed by Burt’s in-depth knowledge about Peninsula, specifically the San Mateo neighborhoods. As first time buyers, Burt was very patient in guiding us through the process. It was an educational process, and we learned a lot about home maintenance. During house tours, Burt would point out items of note such as potential asbestos, foundation, drainage, or roofing issues.

Ultimately, we never felt pressured to make any decisions we were not comfortable with. He was responsive whenever we had questions and also gave us space whenever we needed to think things through. In such a hot market with so much money on the line, this balance was invaluable, and he truly was an advocate for us.

Overall, the home we purchased and our experience exceeded our expectations. We could not be more pleased working with Burt.

We were first time home buyers and Burt was recommended to us by a colleague. We were anxious and nervous going into the process of purchasing a new home. Burt was incredibly patient and helpful. He made sure to impart some of his vast trove of information on Bay area real estate to us along the way and it made us more confident in owning a home. He is kind and patient and very very reliable. No matter the time of day when we had questions about owning a home, he made sure to answer our call. He helped us strategize when multiple homes caught our interest and helped us find our perfect home. We cannot thank him enough, and we highly recommend that he be your realtor as well.

Burt was introduced to us by a friend a few years ago. He has been incredibly helpful in finding the house we have in mind in terms of price range, location etc.

Burt is very knowledgable about the real estate market in Bay area and the macro-trends of economy in general. He helps us by analyzing what is the best option given all the constraints and our goals.

He is super easy to work with, pays great attention to details and is always looking after our best interests. One recent instance was that someone made a fraud listing of our house. Burt alerted us about it and went after it to fix it for us. To me, this shows the great professional expertise and care he is providing to his clients. I highly recommend Burt to anyone who is looking for a great agent!

Burt helped us purchase our first home, and the experience was amazing. Burt took great care to understand what we wanted, and had all the knowledge and insight to get it. He is attentive, honest, knowledgeable, and patient. He taught us everything related to home ownership and answered all our random questions along the journey. He is a true expert in the area and a person you can really trust with the biggest purchase of your life.

Burt is a phenomenal agent. I cannot say enough good things about Burt based on our experience working with him to purchase our first house! He is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and thorough. He was a true partner in finding the right home for us and supported us through the entire process (which, in our case, lasted years through the pandemic).

We reached out to Burt after reading all the positive reviews and knew right away after our first meeting that we wanted to work with him. He is not only very experienced and knowledgeable, but also very approachable and easy to talk to. As first-time home buyers and recent transplants to the Bay Area, we had a lot of questions about everything from neighborhoods to construction materials to the closing process/terminology. Burt was patient, responsive, and happy to share his expertise and candid opinions. Despite managing multiple clients, we always felt like a priority for Burt and never felt rushed into decisions. We looked forward to hearing Burt's analysis of the properties we viewed or considered, which helped us to better define what we thought we wanted or needed in a home. And during the loan application and closing, he checked in regularly to make sure we were hitting the necessary milestones, and reached out to various parties on our behalf to help facilitate and expedite the process.

Burt consistently went above-and-beyond, and we are so grateful to have worked with him on purchasing our home!

We were introduced to Burt through a friend who had worked with him on a property in Foster City. We were immediately impressed with his deep understanding of the housing market from various different perspectives.

He is extremely knowledgeable about different regions of the peninsula. He understood the different neighborhoods' history and trends, and was able to provide deep insight from a market value/investment perspective.

He is also very knowledgeable about the properties themselves. He would always doing a very thorough check and patiently going through them with us, pointing out pitfalls and also areas of hidden potential. When we found a charming fixer-upper, he drew on his renovation experience to suggest upgrades that could maximize its value. On some other properties, he was quick to point out cheaper flooring or kitchen upgrades that would need replacing after not too long.

He was always patient and attentive, listening carefully to our needs and tailoring his recommendations accordingly. Although we were browsing for properties online, the listings he showed us were always our favorites. We felt very assured in our time working with Burt.

We did not end up buying a house with him because we decided to look in a different area for family reasons. Nevertheless, I would not hesitate to recommend him. Just during the few months we worked with him, we felt like we had learned so much. I highly recommend Burt for anyone looking for an exceptional real estate experience.

Burt has been a great realtor for our family. He helped our family sell a house in San Mateo. He took time to understand everyone's needs, the property, and the market. He designed a well thought out plan, organized buyers, and sold the house for well over asking price. He is a kind and thoughtful person, and an amazing professional. He knows how to structure a deal and work with complicated sales. Once he laid out the plans he worked confidently and quickly. He created a great experience for our family and delivered amazing results!

Burt helped us purchase our first house in San Mateo. We first met him when we visited an open house where Burt was working as a sell-side agent in the early phase of our house search. We ended up not submitting an offer, but we really liked his clear, logical and persuasive explanation so we asked him if he would be our buy-side agent.

It took us about 20 months to find our ideal house because our house search was suspended due to the pandemic in 2020. During that time, Burt has always been kind, patient and professional. He always gave us advice from multiple angles such as safety, resale value, resident's point of view, financer's point of view and market perspectives. We learned so much about what to look out for, and we deepened our understanding of what we really wanted which was critical to make a fully informed decision.

I understand that Burt takes a limited number of buy-side agent assignments, but if he is able to work with you, you are lucky. We highly recommend him and we will definitely seek his support when we sell our house and/or buy one next time.
