Inland Empire Realtor – Li Li Hwang

Excellent agent. She is sincere in following up and negotiating with the sellers agent. She knows here stuff. Would recommend her anytime.

As all of the other five-​star reviews attest to, Li Li is top notch. My wife and I had been searching for a home for the better part of a year and were wary of the market turbulence that we’d seen (i.e., the local market had appreciated rapidly the past year and prices appeared to have leveled out and I was certain that we were in a bubble that would burst within the month, while my wife disagreed and thought that we needed to buy now because prices would continue to climb). We brought Li Li aboard and with her decades of experience she was able to tell us that homes in our target area were likely to continue to appreciate, which was really what I needed to hear to be able to commit to a purchase. (At this point, it would appear that Li Li was 100% correct.)
She was also able to find us several homes that were just our style and in our price range: Spanish old-​world exterior, updated /​modern interiors. When we ended up bidding on the first one, she warned that even though the property was likely overpriced, that our offer was still too low given the hot market, but she wasn’t pushy about anything and went through the trouble of preparing all of our papers to submit the formal and slightly lowball offer. (She made the preparation of the offer package completely painless.) Again, she was right, and the seller asked us to submit a higher offer before they would counter. In the meantime, she walked us through another even better property that had appeared on the market – a true dream home – and she was able to communicate with the buyer’s agent to gauge the level of interest (high) and number of offers coming in (many), and helped us to put together a strong offer package, working with our loan officer to emphasize the strength of our loan approval and setting an appropriate starting bid.
She established a good rapport with the seller’s agent and through several rounds of negotiations, we came out on the top of a field of numerous offerors. Since we were first-​time homebuyers, Li Li also walked us through the escrow, titling, inspection, etc. processes and explained how everything worked and what the purpose of each step was and made all of that seem like a breeze. I called her at off hours and on weekends at several points in the process with questions, and she always took the time to get me quick responses. What’s more, when the city inspectors decided to be sticklers about the adjustment of a front yard feature of the home that my wife liked, and when it appeared that this adjustment might cause the whole deal to fall through, Li Li was able to negotiate several credits and bonuses with the seller that appeased my wife and that were acceptable to the sellers.
I am happily typing this review from the living room of my new home, and without exaggeration, I can say that I would probably still be stuck out there searching aimlessly without Li Li’s combination of experience, hard work, patience (mostly with me and my never-​ending stream of questions), and negotiation /​people skills.

I would like to strongly recommend Li Li Hwang as one of the best choices when selecting the real estate agent. As a foreign buyer looking for a property in a not-​so-​familiar-​place, Li Li always provides her local knowledge and experience to help me make realistic choice, and the result turns out that the property she recommends to me is exactly what I truly need. During the purchasing process, Li Li presents her high level of patience to keep things running smoothly, and she always stand in my shoes to plan and explain next step. When negotiating with the seller, Li Li proves her calm and rational negotiation skills to hammer out the agreement. I truly appreciate Li Li helps me to find my dream home and her continuous care. For me, Li Li is not only a reliable agent but also a sincere friend in my life.

A year ago, I was in the market for a home, and Li Li helped me find a home in my price range in Chino Hills! Not only was she able to reduce the cost to 10% below what I expected to pay, but she was professional at negotiating terms and handled all the paperwork. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family!
