Comment: Eva Lin Realty was by far the best realty company to sell my dads house. It was on the market for 2 weeks and there was an offer that we accepted. It was staged incredibly and priced right. Her team is professional and handled every single detail with care. Eva was alway reachable and took every precaution to ensure the home sold.

Comment: Eva and the people on her team just work so well together and it is apparent in the way things are handled through each step of the buying process. It’s been such a pleasant experience from the get go. Eva pays attention to the details which is such a vital skill and it is definitely a trait that her whole team carries. We were paired with Angel, who quickly understood what we were looking for in a home. She advised without being pushy and listened and made sure to guide us down the right path. Buying a home is a highly stressful and emotional process. We appreciated that Eva and her team did not overwhelm us with information on the behind the scenes process. We truly felt that Eva and Angel had our backs and best intentions in mind even when we were not there. We are so grateful that we entrusted Eva and Angel because they helped us get our dream home in one of our dream cities!

Comment: This review is long overdue. Eva Lin and her team helped my family buy our first house last year. I cant imagine having been successful at this endeavor without them. Michelle helped us navigate a confusing situation, dealing with endless communications with the sellers. After our happy purchase, Jan helped us set up everything we needed in order to move in. Accounts, exterminators, you name it. We had a new baby soon after buying the house, and I dont think we would have been able to move in when we did without their help.

Comment: We had been looking for a house for over 1.5 years and had a few different ones we lost out on. At a certain point, my wife and I sort of gave up hope and would joke that well, we probably wont get this one. Then, we met Eva and her wonderful team. I emphasize this because in addition to getting an aggressive and sharp agent, there is an equally valuable staff there to make the process seamless and concierge.We found the house of our dreams, had a bit of a bidding war, and won. We couldnt be more thrilled and unequivocally recommend Eva Lin and her team if you want to secure the house of YOUR dreams!

Comment: Eva and her team are extremely knowledgeable and professional. Preparing to sell a home can be very overwhelming, and she went above and beyond to provide guidance or manage the many decisions that needed to be made. Eva, and each member of her team, are excellent communicators and were quick to respond to any question or issue, large or small. Eva knows the market and was very strategic in every step of the process, resulting in a quick and very profitable sale.

Comment: We decided to sell our house, but we were unsure of where the market stood and when the best time to sell would be. Thankfully, Eva came in and had a great strategy. She assured us that we’d get the number we were looking for and that’s exactly what happened. On top of that, her whole team seemed to inherently understand what we needed without explanation. The entire experience was incredibly well managed and you feel truly taken care of. I can’t tell you how unique, and appreciated that was.

Comment: Eva was lovely to work with during our home sale. She wanted to know what our expectations were around the experience itself, not just the results we wanted in the end–and she delivered on both. She knows the Pasadena market so intimately and can forecast things incredibly well. It’s rare to find someone like Eva, with the ability to be both warm and caring, and at the same time smart, strategic, and efficient.She never got frustrated with our questions, or repeat questions, she was just there for us. It made me feel truly cared for to know Eva was anticipating our needs.When 8 offers came in, she showed us how to navigate them and move forward in a way that was respectful to us, as well as the prospective buyers. And she never made promises we didn’t have the utmost confidence she would keep. Eva is a person of her word.Happy Sellers,Ton & Jim

Comment: Eva Lin and her whole team are incredible! They helped us sell our childhood home, which can sometimes be emotional and overwhelming. They worked closely with us every step of the way, even from a distance, made smart and thoughtful choices, were expert-level knowledgeable about the local market in South Pasadena, listened and understood our wishes, kept us informed and handled everything - large and small, made the home look beautiful, and were readily available and responsive throughout the process. We were confident and extremely satisfied with the results and everyone involved. Thank you, Eva!

Comment: I havent the words to adequately describe the tremendous job that Eva and her staff did to sell our family home. From first contact to closing and beyond, Eva demonstrated how she has earned her status as the top realty agent in the area. She employed insights gleaned from constant monitoring of the housing market and clearly superior business practices to create a preparation and sales plan for our home. Then she executed the plan seamlessly via her excellent team members leaving no detail overlooked. Communications were frequent and always timely. The entire staff was so professional, and committed that our association with them was an absolute pleasure!

Comment: I highly recommend Eva Lin of Lin Realty Group and her team. I recently worked with Eva to sell my house and could not be more pleased. Not only is Eva at the top of the game but she is also so easy to talk to and answered all my silly questions. Eva and her team are incredibly responsive and helpful. They really are a concierge team and took a lot of the headache out of selling our home. Even though Eva has clients of all income sizes, she treats all clients like millionaires with the same great service to all, regardless of listing price. We managed to sell our home quickly and for a competitive price. If you are looking for an agent, it will be worth your time to set up an initial meeting with Eva. Im so glad we did.

Comment: Words don’t exist to describe our family’s gratitude to Michelle Huang and the team at Eva Lin for making our family’s dream of becoming homeowners a reality. Like many young professionals in Los Angeles, we had felt priced out of the market - how were we supposed to compete with offers over half cash? Especially as first-time buyers! We had almost given up hope on buying here until we met Michelle and Eva. Michelle was the perfect agent - she helped manage our anxiety and expectations around the entire process, searched for matching homes on our behalf, responded to our feedback about what we were looking for, and helped us craft competitive offers for each property we were interested that also matched our level of interest. The offer that ultimately became our home happened due to Michelle’s ingenuity and quick thinking - she helped us craft a competitive offer and get it in front of the sellers before anyone else - all on a weekend! Our family owes her an immense debt of gratitude.We would also add that, unlike most real estate agents, this isn’t where the story ends! The professionals at Eva Lin have helped us prepare our new home through the concierge service. The assistance in coordinating painting, handiwork, cleaning, and moving has been phenomenal. Both of us are busy professionals, and having an all-star team help us coordinate has made us even more grateful that we chose Michelle and Eva as our agents.

Comment: We recently had the pleasure of working with Eva Lin, an exceptional real estate agent, and we cannot speak highly enough about her and her team’s professionalism and expertise.When we first met Eva, she confidently promised to find us the perfect home, and we trusted her. Her demeanor suits her well. She seemed to have an innate ability to anticipate what we would like and dislike about a property, saving us a tremendous amount of time and effort. Her intuition quickly guided us to the home that we not only loved aesthetically, but also aligned with our family’s lifestyle and future plans.Eva’s expertise was evident in her insightful guidance and advice, which helped us make informed decisions. We felt empowered and well-informed with her by our side.Beyond her professional skills, Eva was friendly and approachable, making the home buying experience a joy. She was always available to answer our questions and address any concerns promptly. Her genuine enthusiasm for helping us find our family home was palpable, and her positive attitude made the entire process enjoyable.

Comment: I had heard such incredible things about Eva from when she sold my best friends parents’ home in Monterey Park for top dollar, over a million, for a home that all other real estate agents had told them would be impossible to sell for a million. However, I knew she was based in Pasadena with a focus in the local area in LA county and I lived in Irvine. But like the true professional Eva is, when my family friends asked if she would consider helping me find an agent or consider the off chance of taking me on, she responded that she would be more than happy to help sell my parents’ home in Irvine. I couldn’t have been more shocked and thrilled that she was going to come out to see the property and see whether we would be on the same page. I was more than impressed by her vision, attention to detail and her sweet and caring disposition.I was also ecstatic that with her recommendations, her estimated selling range was significantly higher than any of the other agents I had spoken with. My best friend had warned me that selling a family home after your parents have passed away, especially after decades of memories in that home is an emotionally grueling process. One that was made much easier for them because Eva understood this implicitly. But to experience her empathy, tact, and communication that was always based in kindness and trying to help in any way possible, was truly a blessing and something I am forever grateful for. She is incredibly busy with her thriving and successful business and yet when I would feel as though I would be bothering her for calling or texting her too frequently, she never once made me feel that way. She consistently made me feel as though I was her only client, and she was all too ready to solve any issues that arise during the renovation process with a calmness that immediately conveys that all will be made right. Her team, especially Grace and Angel, are equally incredible, kind and impressive.She was beyond diligent in running and assessing all the recent sale numbers, but she also was steadfast in holding onto her utmost confidence in understanding why my parents’ home was so unique to the other homes. She understood that there are factors beyond the numbers on the page and the higher interest rates that were slowing the market down. Thankfully my utmost trust in her vision of how she would market the home and negotiate price was well placed. We got to the target sale price of 1.45 when most were estimating as low as 1.1-1.2 with rising interest rates.Beyond being thrilled with the sale price though, I cannot stress enough that what cannot be replicated is the attention to detail, the constant communication, professionalism, positive energy and kindness during an emotional and stressful undertaking. To do it from another county, in an area she made certain she could just as confidently fulfill her promises, only further proves that Eva can prove herself an expert in any market & if the property is right, sell the property not only above asking price, but well above what other agents will estimate it will sell at. To be clear though, Eva is not in the business of puffing, or over selling on promises she isn’t confident in. There is extensive research & strategy behind everything she communicates. She understands the intangibles that aren’t so obvious and the psychology of buyers, with her finger on the pulse of where the market was, is and where it’s going.From the first meeting to the professionalism of her closing agency, you can count on top notch communication, professionalism & a streamlined process knowing you are in safe hands. I cannot be more thankful or recommend Eva & her incredible team more, especially to those who have a property that you know is worth more than what just the square footage and local sales on paper. If she sees the potential to list more competitively & then negotiate like a rock star, she will confidently let you know and follow through. Thank you Eva. I am forever grateful to you, Grace, Angel & your entire team! I highly recommend Eva to everyone!

Comment: Eva, Angel and the team are phenomenal! They stuck with us while we searched high and low for our perfect home—and gave fantastic insights into various areas we were looking in all the while honing in on our preferences. Their attention to detail, great communication skills (with us, our family, and other realtors!!), local expertise, and professionalism made our home searching and buying process incredibly seamless (and it is not typically so!!). Their concierge service is also freaking amazing (shout out to that awesome team), they set up, coordinated, and gathered the reports from our inspectors, helped us with local recommendations, and literally did so much more. We count our lucky stars we went with Eva + Angel!!

Comment: When the time came to sell our house in Pasadena, we met with several realtors. Eva won our confidence because of her genuine warmth and passion along with her impressive track record. Her concierge approach also stood out for us. Once the papers were signed, Eva and her team handled everything on our behalf. They coordinated repairs, touch-ups, and beautification with great efficiency. This was a tremendous help and allowed us to move to our new house in Idaho much sooner than expected since we didnt need to be involved with any of the prep for the sale. Our 100-year-old character home in Bungalow Heaven was transformed by Evas team and we didnt have to lift a finger! The sale was not straightforward as the market was rapidly cooling and buyers were very tentative, but Eva never relented. She was always there for us pushing to secure the price we wanted. Her guidance and support made all the difference in our experience and our strong outcome. We had very high expectations of Eva and her service, but she managed to exceed them! HIGHLY recommend!

Eva herself is very detailed and focused, and available every time we called. She guided us through the sale, but gave us the space to make the decisions that were best for our situation.

Comment: Eva and her team at Lin Realty did a great job selling our mom’s house for us. Eva’s process is spot on and led us to a great result. She knew the market and how to prepare the house for sale. The house sold above our asking price despite the rising interest rate environment and the approaching holidays. The whole process including refurbishment, listing, staging etc. including escrow, was all completed within about 60 days. Wow!Eva’s team is fantastic! Excellent attention to detail and highly service oriented even to the point helping maintain the property while it was empty. Her other vendors, staging, landscaping etc. got the house looking great in a short time with Eva’s guidance. Thank you, Eva and Team!

She ensured that we were taken care of during all steps of the home buying process. And after successfully closing on a house, her team didnt stop there. From finding us movers, checking in on appointments around the house while we were out of town and helping even unpack and move-in. She is professional, thorough, and her team is unmatched. Highly highly recommend.

Comment: Working with Eva and her team made all the difference for us.What we appreciated most were Evas and Angels insightful emails and rapid responses that guided us away from houses that seemed great at first glance but would have been bad investments or required nightmare renovations.It meant a lot to us that Eva freely shared the negative aspects of the houses we were evaluating, and it was very clear that she is NOT trying to just close the deal (i.e. not like A always B be C closing!).Eva provided data-driven price predictions that helped us to make sense of pricing in this market with the fake listing prices. This was incredibly helpful.We appreciated the concierge service Evas team provided, but even more so, we appreciated the invaluable and intangible benefit of having Eva lend us her expert insights into different neighborhoods and the intricacies of real estate (we didnt even know what an easement was until Eva said it isnt great for resale).Finally, when we first started looking at houses we thought we knew exactly what we wanted, but as time went on we changed all of our criteria. Eva adapted to our changing needs seamlessly.Eva and her team exceeded all expectations!

Comment: I was in the situation of having to clear out my fathers house in South Pasadena which had unfortunately been neglected for over 15 years from outside the state. I was definitely overwhelmed and stressed to think of everything that would need to be accomplished. Given that the market was rapidly cooling and interest rates rising, I knew that I need to act quickly to get the house prepared for putting on the market. I interviewed several realtors based on years of experience and houses sold, but what made the final choice for me was a feeling of professionalism, compassion and organization as well as the expected knowledge of the market and experience in dealing with all the technical and legal issues that would inevitably come up. Eva and her staff were able to help me sort, pack-up, get many different vendors for services (they were very careful to always offer me several choices) and general advice on how their work went from previous work done for them, as well as lending me a hand with calling charities, dropping things off at Goodwill, etc. I frequently got pictures and video updating me on the status of the work. The house turned around from a sad, neglected place to a beautiful home and sold quickly at a higher than asking price. All in all, a smooth process and throughout it all Eva was always accessible, knowledgable and a reassuring support for me. I can highly recommend her company if you are either a buyer or seller in the Pasadena area.

Comment: We interviewed 3 brokers/agents and finally settled with Eva and her team at Lin Realty Group to list our beloved home in San Marino. With their help and guidance, we transformed a live-in condition home to a showroom home within a couple of weeks and had it ready for listing. After a few weeks of immaculate level of services, Eva and her diligent, effective, and beyond professional team pulled it through with an offer my wife and I were very happy with--200k over asking and 2 months of stay while the other house is getting remodeled and cleaned up. Needless to say, the escrow pulled through smoothly in just and amazing14 days. I closed escrows several times before with my other real estates and businesses but nothing like this ever happened--AMAZING... If youre in a market for a new or different agent/broker, look no further, this is your team. Im a fan for life.

We were impressed by her professional approach and understanding of our emotional attached to our home. She had a keen awareness of the market and, along with her able team helped in every aspect of the process. Eva is personable, approachable, and could not have been more helpful. Eva is in a class of her own. We highly recommend her.

Comment: Our home buying experience totally changed once we started working with Eva Lin. Previously, we had been working with a different agent…but we weren’t getting anywhere. That’s when we decided to reach out to Eva. She’s warm, enthusiastic, and one heck of a real estate agent! Her approach was completely different than what we had come to expect as “normal.” Eva was uber-strategic in her approach to writing offers and negotiating. The proof is in the pudding, as they say… With Eva’s guidance, we bought a house we LOVE and we weren’t even the highest offer! On top of that, Eva and her team really went over the top with their customer service. We are so grateful for this team and we are beyond happy that we found Eva!

Comment: Sometimes the stars align so you meet just the right person at just the right time. Eva Lin was that person for me. After 40 years, the time had come for me to sell my house in Pasadena’s Lower Arroyo Seco neighborhood and purchase a smaller, more manageable condo nearby. Upon meeting with Eva to discuss my plans, I felt a strong sense of connection and comfort. I could tell that her motivation went far deeper than just closing a sale (or even two sales, as my situation required). Selling and buying at the same time was tricky, but Eva always knew just what to do. Her team helped me in ways I’ve never heard of from other realtors. Simply put, working with Eva has been a blessing. I’ve been cared for with thoughtfulness and warmth throughout this whole process. I can’t imagine having anybody else as my realtor.

Comment: Lin Realty Group is AMAZING! There are many important decisions that go into selling your home and the best decision my husband and I made was choosing Lin Realty Group to sell our Pasadena home. From day one, Eva and her team (shout-out to Angel, Grace, and Alyssa), made sure that every step of the way was stress-free and absolutely perfect. I have very high standards, and I could not think of one way that they could have been better to us. I’ve never felt more taken care of - not during my wedding, not even during the birth of my children! Eva and her team think of every detail and their white glove service never stops working for you. They are experts in the market, and they know exactly what buyers want. After a few small tweaks and modest improvements to our property, we were able to sell our home for 15 percent above what we were expecting. We had tried to sell this property previously and had failed. Eva made sure we had a great buyer who could perform, and she safe-guarded us throughout the sale, always making sure that our best interests were her first priority. Eva and her team are beyond patient, incredibly generous, and always available when we needed them. If you have the opportunity to work with Eva Lin and her team, consider yourself lucky. I could search the entire world over and never find a better realty team than Lin Realty Group. They are THAT good!

They really watch out for you and tell you the straight scoop to protect your interests and get you your dream house. If you want the best agent in the Pasadena/San Marino and surrounding areas agent the Lin Realty Group is it. Truly white-glove service that will save you time and money. You will be more than satisfied; as we were.

Comment: I highly recommend Eva Lin for your Realtor and Broker needs. She was the Agent for our parent’s home of 63 years. A large unique Pasadena property with a century old house.She provided us with the resources to highlight the location’s full potential. Her marketing was exceptional with the creation of a digital tour that captured the property’s light and space.My siblings and myself were first time home sellers with the emotional baggage of this being our childhood home. Eva took the time to answer all of our questions and kept us directed towards a sale.Eva is well known for her success in selling high end turn key estates with our sale, she can add properties that are considered diamonds in the rough!

Comment: When we decided to sell our home, we looked into all different ways possible, including FSBO, iBuying, selling to relatives, and listing by an agent. After all the research and interviewing five local agents, including a realtor friend of ours, we decided to go with Eva. It was a pretty tough decision, but we believed Eva would be most likely to deliver the result we wanted. Eva and her team provided excellent service; they were always there whenever we had questions or needed anything, especially after we relocated to a different city. Without going into too much detail, Eva fought for us using her negotiation skill and strategy during the selling process. Even in a seller’s market, it’s still very stressful when selling our home because it’s our biggest asset. We truly felt that Eva put our interests first. We highly recommend Eva Lin to anybody looking for an outstanding real estate agent with great knowledge and experience in the Pasadena area.

Comment: Eva and her entire team was phenomenal to work with! It took her one weekend of open house to sell our old house. Then, she helped us buy our dream house in a couple of months. Eva is extremely knowledgeable and very professional. She knows the area and the market very well. Because she listened to our needs, she was able to accurately price our old house and was able to find the house that suited us perfectly. She guided us through the selling and buying process and coordinated everything seamlessly. She is responsive and very efficient at problem solving. She made herself available whenever we needed her and communicated with us regularly whenever there were new developments. She also connected us with skilled professionals when it was necessary. Eva is a pleasure to work with because she is dependable, honest, trustworthy, a seasoned negotiator, and always has a very positive attitude. She, Angel, and her whole concierge team was A+++. We really loved working with her!

Comment: Eva has been our “family realtor”. More than that, she’s become a friend. First, she helped us buy a new house that better met our needs, then she helped us sell a house that we had outgrown. Most recently, she helped us sell my mother-in-law’s home, which held deep sentimental value for both my mother-in-law and my wife. Simply put, we LOVE Eva. She’s genuine, enthusiastic, and she always takes the time to listen. We were reminded just how special she is during this recent sale. Eva was keenly in-tune with the emotions involved. She patiently walked us through each step with great care. This made us feel comfortable and confident. It was so much easier for my mother-in-law to say goodbye to her home of 35+ years because of the smooth and empathetic guidance Eva provided. She’s a wonderful realtor, but first and foremost, she’s a wonderful person. We never expected to form a friendship with our realtor, but when somebody clearly cares about you and your family so much, it’s inevitable.thanks

Comment: Eva was not only the best realtor we could have asked for, but also one of the most helpful and compassionate people our family has met. She helped sell our house last month, but the circumstances motivating our move made it exceptionally stressful for our family, and we were not the easiest clients because of it. She was there every step of the way in every sense, and we could not have done it without her.Eva is incredibly detail-oriented, efficient, and responsive, and she was able to anticipate and address anything that came up with care and thoughtfulness. She also has an incredible team who helped manage everything in the same manner.We cannot recommend Eva and her group highly enough, and we thank her for all her hard work, kindness, and effort.

Comment: Without having experienced it, we never could have imagined such a warm, helpful, and smooth experience during our home sale. At first, we were nervous about going through this process. We have a young daughter and very demanding careers--the last thing we wanted was to have a stressful sale that took our attention away from what we truly care about. Thankfully, Eva Lin represented us as our listing agent in Pasadena and we were impressed beyond words. She is NOT your typical realtor. She listens, she cares, and she has tremendous expertise. She also knew exactly what we should do to get the result we were looking for. Her confidence and enthusiasm allowed us to rest easy, especially as she delivered on every single promise she made to us. We were equally impressed with Eva’s support team. They took so much off our plate including things that we never would have expected (like facilitating every aspect of the preparation of the sale after we moved out, clearing out our garage, packing boxes, booking and coordinating contractors, etc.). It’s clear that Eva’s entire organization is designed for creating a world-class client experience. We feel SO fortunate to have found Eva!

Comment: I wish we could give our wonderful realtor, Eva Lin, even more than 5 stars! Not only did she do an amazing job helping with the sale of our home in the Caltech neighborhood, she and her team expertly took care of the entire process while we were hundreds of miles away in Northern California!When the time came to sell, we knew we needed a top Pasadena agent with exceptional resources. As research scientists at Caltech and the parents of two boys, my wife and I wanted an agent who could “run the show” for us because we already have plenty on our plate…and that’s precisely what Eva did. She coordinated all manner of repairs and beautification and kept us updated at every step. By the time she and her team were done with the prep work, our house had been transformed and looked amazing. This kind of high-level assistance was exactly what we were hoping for. When Eva put the house up for sale, it sold quickly and at a fantastic price. Thank you, Eva! You absolutely knocked it out of the park!

Comment: We entered the market as first time home buyers in the midst of the pandemic, a very strong sellers market. We had South Pasadena or San Marino in mind with a price range we were comfortable with. After speaking with a few realtors online, the chances seemed slim, they all suggested that we start looking elsewhere or raise our price range.I stumbled onto Lin Realty Groups website online randomly, and I figured it couldnt hurt to set up a call. Her welcome presentation blew us away and she gave us the confidence that we would be able to find our dream home in those neighborhoods within our price range.The entire process took about 6 months. We started off house hunting remotely on the East Coast and eventually became in-person about half way through. They were always responsive about setting up open houses, and always did their homework on the condition of the home. When we became anxious about not being able to find a home (houses were getting 30+ offers), but they assured us wed be able to find it.When we did find our home, Evas team really held our hand through it all. They helped us set up all the inspections within the very short contingency period. Special shout out to Angel, who answered my million questions about the process, inspection findings, and helped us with the negotiation.And it doesnt stop there, Evas team kept in touch after the deal closed! They helped us set up the gas, water, etc as well as figured out the tax situation for us. They also dropped off presents at the end :).I would definitely recommend Eva and her team!

Comment: Eva Lin and her team did a stellar job selling my home in Pasadena’s Upper Linda Vista neighborhood. She was very thorough and very knowledgeable and she had her incredible team assist us throughout the entire process. She also didn’t pressure us although we got multiple offers during the first week.I’ve worked with several realtors over the years. While those experiences were fine, my experience with Eva was special. She cared deeply about me as her client, she worked incredibly hard, she was very passionate and methodical in her approach and thus she delivered an excellent outcome! I will not hesitate to recommend her to my friends and family.

Comment: Our first experience with Eva Lin group and journey started with friendly Conversation / Discussion regarding our expectations and services Eva team could provide, so all was about us and our goals not signing contract and starting process, starting from first statement Eva made we felt care and having control of process, we asked for couple of days to make decision and when we asked for contract she sent it immediately but with no pressure, after that, advises and suggestions took us through process, her team and harmony in their actions and responses fulfilled Evas prediction of smooth and fast sale, all promises made real and delivered.Property sale is stressful, did we fell that No, were we informed for each step Yes, did we receive care Yes, did goals achieved Yes.We are grateful for service we received and care delivered.

Comment: Eva and her team are absolutely wonderful to work with. Its like having a friend on the inside that is working for you. As first time sellers, my husband and I interviewed 8 agents who all showed very strong backgrounds and impressive expertise. At the end, we chose Eva because she immediately understood our concerns about selling a townhouse that involves complicated HOA situations and she was exceptionally knowledgeable about our neighborhood. Her confidence in listing our property at a competitive price definitely made us feel we were in good hands. Long story short, we found a committed buyer within 5 days at a price thats 7.8% higher than asking. It only took 3 weeks to close the escrow and it was much smoother than we had imagined. Along this journey, we experienced zero headaches; everything was taken care of with the highest standards and the most thoughtful approaches. Also Id love to mention that, we caught a cold in the middle of the selling process and Evas concierge team sent us a gift basket filled with cold-easing goodies. We were really touched by her kindness. We have and will continue to recommend her to all of our family and friends.

Comment: I had a great experience working with Eva. She was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and attentive throughout both the selling and purchasing processes. If it weren’t for her, I would have overlooked a critical red flag on a house I was about to purchase because the sellers did not disclose the information – she and her team were able to obtain important documents by directly going to the city and actually spent time reviewing them. She has an excellent team supporting her. All members of her team are very professional, friendly and moreover, take their jobs seriously while also having fun. I really felt like I was getting the white-glove treatment working with her and the team. I would highly recommend Eva to my friends and family.

Comment: What could have been an impersonal and tedious process turned out to be one of the most thoughtful, intentional, and intuitive customer service experiences of my life. I’ve been so impressed by my real estate agent, Eva Lin.Of course, Eva demonstrated all the competencies you’d expect from a top realtor. She’s a proven expert in her field and well established here in Pasadena. That’s why I hired her to sell my home, which she did with great success. What I found to be noteworthy about Eva was her approach. She doesn’t operate on the surface level. Rather, she asks meaningful questions and truly seeks to understand. Her motivations went far beyond closing a sale. At the core, she sought to help me gracefully and even joyfully close an important chapter of my life.This all became clear as Eva tailored the entire experience to meet my needs. She put her assistants in motion so I could focus my attention elsewhere while they handled all manner of details on my behalf. She even took the time to notice my unique preferences and tastes, which she interwove into the process through various personalized celebratory gifts. These thoughtful gestures were completely unexpected and delightful. Eva and her team were consistently empathetic, intuitive, proactive, and responsive.I never thought selling a home could be a special experience, but here we are. Eva has set a new high bar.

Comment: We interviewed a few real estate agents before deciding on who would list our home in Pasadena for sale. By the time Eva arrived, we already had someone in mind. She changed that. For starters, she had an entirely different idea about the starting price for our home and was able to support her position effectively. It was also clear in that first meeting that Eva’s marketing approach was comprehensive. We discussed it overnight and selected Eva in the morning. We never had a reason to second-guess that decision.Photography was arranged quickly and they were very professional; and it showed in the fabulous results. Eva also made arrangements to address a City of Pasadena requirement that we were unaware of.Our listing was posted more quickly than we thought possible and we were astounded, and a little flustered, when we had multiple offers within two days of listing. Eva handled the negotiations calmly and masterfully to get us to a sale. We have done other transactions over the years and this was the smoothest and least stressful sale we’ve ever done. Her team were great to work with and they were always on top of things.We recommend Eva Lin and her team highly and without reservation.

Comment: Eva Lin and the Lin Realty team just helped us purchase a house. Long story short, the experience was wonderful. We were actually working with a different agent before we found Eva and things were not going well. Frankly, it felt like our first agent just didn’t care all that much about our hopes and needs as first-time home buyers. We decided to find a new agent after making 4 offers in one month and getting nowhere with them. Working with Eva and her team was so different. We felt empowered and truly cared for. Eva’s strategic approach to the offer process really impressed us and the 2nd time we made an offer with her, it was accepted! The client service Eva’s team provided was unlike anything we could have expected. They took so many things off our plate and were super responsive any time we needed them. We’re loving our new house and loving our amazing real estate team who did such a great job helping us get here. Eva Lin and team are something special!

Comment: Lin Realty Group – Eva Lin and her amazing crew – once again exceeded my expectations. Lin Realty Group’s expertise in the San Gabriel Valley market, incredible knowledge of the home selling practice, professionalism, confidence, and extremely friendly customer service first shined through when we sold our first home in Pasadena. It was a no-brainer that my family would demand Eva’s services when we decided to purchase a South Pasadena home two years later.Eva guided us through the home-buying process with such prowess that it always made us feel very comfortable trusting her advice, while in fact always placing the decisions in our hands. She is very attentive and surrounds herself with a talented and friendly team to assist with all of the various tasks. My wife and I could not be happier with the love we have received from everyone at Lin Realty Group.

Comment: It seems that we picked quite a challenging time AND place to buy a house for our growing family. It’s no secret that EVERYBODY is trying to buy a house right now. We knew that going in. What we didn’t know was that so many families had their hearts set on South Pasadena (just like we did). We saw some pretty crazy stuff during our home search in South Pas (all-cash offers at 50% over the asking price?!)We started out with a different realtor that we were connected to through Zillow, but after shifting our focus to South Pasadena we knew that we would need expert help. Eva was recommended by a colleague and without Eva we would have been lost. Of course, we got outbid on some of the houses we were interested in, but Eva prepared us for this. She set expectations, gathered as much info as possible about the sellers/competing offers/etc., and always made sure we put our best foot forward. If the sellers picked a different offer, we were fine with that because we felt extremely well educated on the house/neighborhood and we just weren’t comfortable bidding that high.After a few tries, we found the perfect house for us and our little ones. Eva put together a game plan and our offer (one of the dozens) was accepted! We knew that Eva is a top agent in the Pasadena / South Pasadena area, but it turns out that her reputation preceded her and actually helped us win the house! The realtor who was representing the seller said he held Eva in very high regard due to her great reputation for professionalism and problem-solving, so he recommended that his client accept our offer!That problem-solving came in handy because during the escrow process, problems came up! If Eva was not diligent in following up with us on the important items that we needed to pay attention to, we would have bought the house without proper insurance coverage. We would have lost the house if not for Eva’s amazing negotiation tactics and proactiveness. Ultimately, we were able to close escrow and we are overjoyed to own a home in our favorite city in the world. Thanks to Eva, we got a very good value on the house without having to compromise.Working with Eva was great all around! She and her team sent us and our kids special treats and gifts out of the blue (I almost cried when they received the Berenstein Bears Moving Day book, which was timed perfectly for helping my 3 year old process his emotions about the move), we could always reach Eva when we needed her, and we had the support of not just Eva but her whole team. They all have big hearts and we think the world of them.

Comment: We went into the process of selecting a relator expecting to use the same realtors we have used in the past (2 different ones), but Eva just blew us away with her thoughtful approach and homework. It wasnt easy going with her instead of our prior realtors, but Eva understood one thing they did not--your home is your most expensive asset, and it requires a professional approach that may not fit other homes. Eva convinced us to stage the house and make some modest repairs, and it made all the difference in the world. We had dozens of showings in the first week, and had offers in hand even before the listing was active.Selling a home is a stressful process, but Eva and her team did a fantastic job taking care of us. Shes worth every penny in commissions, and her full team (including Angel) really gave us white-glove, concierge service. We were very happy with our decision and would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you, Eva!

Comment: I’m writing this review from my new house that Eva and her team helped me purchase! In this market especially, I feel incredibly lucky to have found Eva & Angel to help me through the home buying process. They were attentive and not too pushy even when they knew they were right. For instance, on the second home I put an offer on, I wasn’t comfortable putting in an offer at their suggested price, but that would have ended up being the winning offer! I learned quickly to trust their judgement and that they definitely know what they’re talking about.When another house I went into escrow on came back with a terrible home inspection, there was no hesitation on their part to tell me to pull out of that purchase. In total, my house search took about 5 months since I started working with Eva’s team, and I can say that I love the home I’m sitting in now!Shoutout also to Aida, who did a lot of my showings, and Vincent, who also did a lot of the showings and even now is finding someone to repair my vintage stove for me! And Grace for setting up my utilities and making sure I have nothing to worry about except packing up boxes and actually moving them.I will definitely recommend Lin Realty to any one of my friends looking for a house in the LA area. They were such a joy to work with and took care of the small details so I didn’t have to worry about anything!

Comment: My wife and I had a hard time selling our beautiful house last fall, even during a strong sellers market. We considered doing an expensive renovation, but fortunately we called Eva first. In our very first meeting with Eva, she pointed out the missteps we had made in preparing and marketing our house for sale. Impressively, she came up with a lot of great ideas for improving the appeal of our home right on the spot!We signed up with Eva and were very pleased with how she and her team handled every aspect of the home selling process. She gave us great advice regarding pricing strategy given the market and how similar houses were selling. Meanwhile, her team totally transformed our house in only a week with expert painting, staging, and repairs. The results were outstanding. Our house looked like a totally different house on the inside.Once we went back on to the market, we booked many more showings than the first time around and ended up receiving 15 offers, including some that far exceeded our expectations. Evas skills at evaluating the strength of these offers and her negotiating strategies also really impressed us. Our house sold in six days for a price per square foot that set a new record in our neighborhood by a large margin.We believe that Evas knowledge, experience, and passion for every aspect of the house selling process really made the difference for us. We enjoyed working with her and her team and we would recommend doing so to anyone who requires the highest level of expertise and professionalism when selling their home.

Comment: Eva and her team did a remarkable job helping my wife and I buy our first home. From the beginning, she did lots to teach us about the process, including the search, purchase, mortgage, and much more.During the initial interviews, Eva blew all other agents we talked to away with a remarkably through and personalized presentation, answering many questions we had yet to even ask. From there, the entire team operated with a level of professionalism and knowledge that was very impressive. Communication was answered attentively and all thoughts and opinions were thoroughly explained. Doing this during the COVID pandemic made it even more impressive.Throughout the home searching process, there was never any pressure (implied or otherwise) from Eva or her team, despite a 3-month adventure. As analytical and motivated people ourselves, my wife and I would often scour the internet, find different listings, and present them to Eva. We could leverage her expertise to select which options would fit her insightful understanding of what we were looking at and what wed be able to afford. Id often ask questions like How much will this go for, will it be competitive, is it worth it, or how will the resale be; things I couldnt determine for myself. For every property, shed have these answers ready, and would be right almost every single time.Upon finding our eventual home, she was able to guide us through the negotiations, contingences, and purchase painlessly. She skillfully acquitted herself in all aspects of the sale, and when it required additional help, Angel and the rest of her team did great work. A few months later, reflecting on the lengthy journey to our new home, it is remarkable how well this current home fit our needs, wants, wishes, and even budget.We would recommend Eva, Angle, and Eva Lin Realty Group to anyone in the North-East LA and Pasadena area, looking to make the process of buying a home as efficient, effective, valuable and painless as possible. Thanks a lot.

Comment: A big thank you to Eva Lin, Realtor-extraordinaire! She made selling our house so painless, we couldn’t believe it. After looking at the house, she came up with an action plan. Painting, repairs, staging, etc. Her team coordinated everything and kept us updated on the quick progress. She even had lily plants and flowers placed in the pond! Her attention to detail was amazing. The house sold for 15% over what we listed it for. Truly unbelievable! We’ve been tracking the neighboring sales and never thought we’d be able to get that kind of price. Choosing Eva as our real estate agent was the best decision we could have made!

Comment: Eva was wonderfully supportive and effective in helping me sell not just one but two homes in Pasadena. After researching and interviewing numerous popular Pasadena realtors, Eva was the clear choice thanks to her track record of success, supporting team, and her overall sincerity. Because I don’t live in Los Angeles, I worried that selling the homes would require my constant attention and oversight. The opposite turned out to be the case. Eva and her staff coordinated everything and kept me updated. I was so happy and relieved when Eva sold both homes in less than 10 days for significantly more money than I had hoped for. She is a true expert and an absolute go-getter with a big heart. I can’t say enough good things about my experience with her!

Comment: Eva is without a doubt the best realtor! My husband and I had been living in San Francisco and seriously looking for a house in the Pasadena area for over 8 months when the pandemic hit. Soon after, we had our first baby and it became imperative to find a home. Between being 1st time home buyers and being out of the area, in a global pandemic, we had no idea what we were doing. The realtor that we were using at the time was just not cutting it. We were frustrated and discouraged - until we found Eva! She was the selling agent of a house that we loved and lost with our old realtor. After doing a bit of research, I was incredibly impressed with Eva’s ingenuity and informative online videos, and I contacted her soon thereafter. She is incredibly knowledgeable, strategic, and was aggressive on our behalf while still being very personable, caring, supportive and patient. She tailored the home buying experience to our very specific needs. In addition, her entire team is hardworking and a group of genuinely great people that work seamlessly together. Truth be told, we did not meet Eva in person until our home inspection, but when we did, she already felt like an old friend from all the phone calls, late night texts, emails, video tours and meetings. We are now settled and very happy in our home and neighborhood, and Eva and her team continue to support us with any questions we may have. We are forever grateful to have found Eva and the opportunity to work with her. There is no doubt that she will be our realtor and friend for life.

Comment: Eva Lin was referred to me when I began preparing to sell my home. I interviewed a few other real estate agents, but Eva’s confidence and track record around Pasadena made her the clear choice. I also sensed that she was exceptionally sincere in her interest to help me. I’m very glad I followed my intuition, because Eva did a spectacular job from start to finish. I was thoroughly impressed by her approach—even the “write up” she created to describe my home was meticulously crafted, inspiring, and unlike anything I had seen before. I received more offers than I can remember and sold the home for FAR more than I had expected. I know this wouldn’t have happened without Eva’s deft guidance. Thank you, Eva, for the truly outstanding, stress-free experience and unbelievable outcome! I couldnt have asked for a better sendoff to Hawaii ;)

Comment: This is the 5th home my husband and I have sold, but the first with Eva Lin as our realtor. Our experience with Eva was nothing less than exceptional! She knew the local real estate market here in San Marino cold. She expedited the process of getting our house ready to sell with her excellent referrals and team. She masterfully negotiated to ensure us the best price and terms of the sale. Whats more, she and her support staff operated with smooth efficiency and went out of their way to take many time- consuming task off of out hands. This concierge-level of service was something we did not expect, but we deeply valued as it allowed us to spend much more time at our beach home rather than constantly driving over to tie up loose ends. Throughout the whole process, Eva was always strategic, effective enthusiastic and intentional. She is a rare find and we would absolutely recommend her to anybody in need of a caring, trustworthy, top-tier real estate agent in San Marino.

Comment: Trying to buy a home in Pasadena was brutally frustrating…until we found Eva Lin :) We worked with different realtors for over a year and we needed a change. Things became urgent when our child was due to arrive in just three short months. Thankfully, that’s when we found Eva and the difference was night and day. Her confidence and expertise put us at ease. We went from stressed to excited and it felt like we had a big competitive edge with Eva on our side. As it turned out, we did. After just 3 weeks with Eva we found the perfect home, submitted our offer, and got it accepted. A lot of other families submitted competing offers, but Eva had a uniquely strategic approach that allowed our offer to win. She didn’t stop there, though. She helped us save tens of thousands of dollars during the escrow process by aggressively negotiating concessions for us that we never would have expected. And her whole staff was incredibly thoughtful. Having made it to the end of this journey, theres no doubt that WHO you work with is critical. Working with Eva was a revelation and we’re happy to recommend hhtful, responsive, and caring too. They went above and beyond for us in more ways than one.er wholeheartedly!

Comment: Eva Lin and her staff were excellent to work with. We were selling our condo during the difficult Covid 19 period. Eva was able to organize her crew to have successful showings of the condo. With the help of placing online photos and a 3D tour of the condo, any prospective buyer was able to see the condo clearly and follow up with an in-person walk through. We were anxious because of the pandemic, but Eva was successful in selling our condo within 4 months, for our asking price.

Comment: Earlier this year, Eva helped our family buy a home. This was our first time buying a home and a big step for us because it meant a happier, brighter life for our children and for us as a family. It also meant we could feel safe and secure growing our family. From the start, we were excited to work with Eva. We could tell that in addition to being at the top of her field, she really cared about us. We quickly discovered that when you go with Eva, you get a whole support team like a family who cared for us and wow-ed us time and again with immediate action and expediency. The level of thoughtfulness and consideration was like nothing we’d seen or heard of before. When we found a house in Sierra Madre, Eva helped us understand all of the pros and cons to a level of incredible detail. We had the confidence to know it was the right one for us and Eva helped us negotiate a great deal below the asking price. The sale completed months ago, but she still checks up on us and surprises us with thoughtfulness. 2020 is a year full of challenges, but our time working with Eva and the Lin Realty Group will be something we always think back on as a wonderful bright spot.

Comment: Looking back on our home sale, it’s hard to imagine getting through it without Eva’s unyielding positivity and support. My husband and I have two young children with full work schedules so organization, prompt communication, ownership, and professionalism are of upmost importance. While we were hoping for a quick and smooth sale, the universe had different plans. Things started out just as we had hoped, though. Eva and her team did a spectacular job preparing our Pasadena Craftsman to hit the market and when it did, there was a ton of interest. We accepted a great offer right away, but a few weeks into the escrow period, the buyer decided to back out. Eva worked hard to help us open escrow with a second buyer, but they eventually backed out too! It was frustrating, it was stressful, it was disappointing…but we never once doubted Eva’s commitment. She and her team doubled and redoubled their efforts. They were in constant communication with us. Eva always kept her finger on the pulse of how we were feeling and what our concerns were. We didn’t feel like we were just another set of clients, but much more like family.We wholeheartedly recommend Eva and are confident that you will see what we experienced—a depth of passion, expertise, and care that instantly instills trust. It was plain as day that her sole concern was helping us get the result we wanted. She was there for us regardless of the challenges that arose, and we will always be grateful to her.Fortunately, third time was the charm and buyer #3 didn’t back out! In our family, Eva Lin holds the title for “Best Pasadena Real Estate Agent” by a long shot!

Comment: Working with Eva, our home sold for $110,000 over the asking price, with 11 offers.Eva is deeply insightful and analytical, which raised my confidence in her. Her marketing and negotiating strategies were far more involved than what we originally had in mind. We wanted to move quickly and not spend too much time on staging and marketing. But Eva came up with a marketing plan and strategy that she felt confident would result in a quick sale. We found Eva’s views of the market to be very realistic and credible, which persuaded us to go with her more ambitious marketing approach; this included staging, professional photography, and a custom video. Eva’s team completed the work in a few days, and throughout it all, she was unfailingly responsive and sensitive to our needs. The speed and value of our sale ended up being beyond what we had expected. Eva’s approach paid off exponentially. Highly recommend.

Comment: My wife and I were ready to take a big step... Buying a home together. This would mean we could take an even bigger step... Starting a family. We were feeling excited, nervous, and hopeful all at once. As we started house shopping, we quickly realized just how crazy the market is in Pasadena and Altadena! Every time a good house hit the market, there were a ton of buyers vying for it. Wed get our hopes up only to end up feeling disappointed. Through it all, Eva was there for us giving great strategic advice, advocating for us, and helping us stay positive. A month ago we found ourselves in the same situation... The perfect house hit the market, and, of course, lots of people were interested. Eva fought tooth and nail for us as she always does, and this time we came out on top! I dont think wed have won this house without Evas strategies and hard work. Whats more, the commitment and compassion of the Lin Realty Group team is something special. The kindness and care theyve shown us during this journey has been deeply appreciated and, frankly, something we didnt expect from our realtor. Without a doubt, Evas guidance changed our lives, and were so excited to start our family in such a wonderful home.Working with Eva and her team is like having a superpower that gives you an unfair advantage in a highly competitive and market. If you are looking for a realtor, whether you are trying to buy your first home or sell your fifth, look no further -- Eva is the best!

Comment: Eva represented us as buyers in the purchase of our home. She was a cheerful and responsive professional throughout the entire process, even when things were a bit tricky with the sellers. We knew we were in good hands and could trust Eva and her team represent our interests with integrity and, dare I say it, joy! From start to finish, Eva and her team brought a positive and upbeat attitude to the process. Were so grateful for her and her team.

Comment: We cant say enough good words about Eva and her team. They certainly went above and beyond any expectations we had - without a doubt we would not have closed on the investment property we were looking at without them. Eva was available at what seemed like all hours for questions which was fantastic since we had a strict time constraint. Also, her team was readily available to help show us any properties that came on the market (and Eva tried to make it to most of the showings to give us her perspective which was really appreciated).We used another company to purchase our first house and we were really left to our own devices but not with Eva. Her whole team did all the leg work for us including tracking down and giving us answers to questions we had about the HOA and recommending contractors for repair estimates and inspections. When we decide to buy a new property we will definitely reach out to Eva and her team!Even after we purchased our property Eva continue to be a great resource - she is always very prompt, professional and provides great information.

Comment: If I could give 10 stars I would!! Eva is absolutely incredible! We probably looked at 100 houses in Pasadena and the surrounding area over a one month period. She met with us evenings, over lunch hours, and on weekends to work around our work schedule. She was always professional and extremely knowledgeable. When we decided on a home, Evas negotiation skills would impress even the most seasoned home buyer! We’ve worked several realtors over the years, and none of them compare to Eva. We can’t recommend her highly enough and were so happy that she helped us find the perfect home to raise our family in! – Kendra and Justin Cook

Comment: Eva and her team did everything in their power to make the difficult process of selling a home go smoothly. Eva was very experienced, worked very hard, gave sound advice and was quick to answer any questions we had. I felt like she always had our back and was able to accommodate any concerns we had. At the end of the day, she was able to sell our house in Pasadenas Upper Linda Vista neighborhood at a price that was higher than what other realtors had recommended us to put it on the market for. Above and beyond that, Eva was always kind and considerate, and even sent me a care package of tea ingredients and cough drops when I told her I was down with a cold. Now, two years later, Eva and her team continue to treat us like friends rather than former clients. I would definitely recommend her.

Comment: We had a fantastic experience working with Eva. We came to the table with a difficult situation and ended up with our dream home. We started to look with Eva in the spring. We were renting at the time and not sure what the future of the house we were living in would be. Eva took us to see as many houses as we wanted. She was always prompt and knowledgeable. It was fun to have her show us the different properties. Late in the summer, it looked like the rental property we were living in would be for sale. Strangely enough, the seller refused to separate the utilities from the adjacent property and the bank didnt want to make the investment. Eva worked hard on negotiations and was always available. While this fiasco was happening, Eva came to us and said she had found the house we had been looking for. She had gotten to know us well and sure enough, this was exactly what we were looking for. Our new three bedroom craftsman in Pasadena had everything wed listed as desirable. It is in great condition, has original fixtures, a large yard, on a bike route, close to a metro stop and walking distance to stores and restaurants. It was, in fact, exactly what we were looking for. She helped us to purchase our home for $40,000 below asking price at a time when other places were in bidding wars. We have already introduced some of our friends who are looking to purchase homes to Eva. She is an expert in her field. She walked us through the many financial, structural, architectural and city planning related issues in a way that was clear and approachable. My family and I cannot thank her enough.

Comment: My wife and I were so excited to relocate to the South Pasadena/San Marino area for work. However, based on what we heard about the local real estate market, we thought purchasing a home would be an epic struggle. Thanks to Eva and her team, it turned out to be surprisingly quick and easy! They even made it fun. Eva quickly proved to be an exceptional real estate agent and somebody that we could rely on 100%. We weren’t very familiar with the South Pasadena/San Marino area, but Eva did an awesome job of explaining the different neighborhoods to us. She made sure that she had a crystal-clear understanding of what we were looking for and had everything lined up for us when we flew into town to look at houses. She promptly found us a house that we LOVED in South Pasadena, and before we knew it, our offer was accepted and we were in escrow! Eva really impressed us during the escrow process when the inspection report came back with some serious findings. She proved to be a wonderful negotiator and advocate for us, making sure that all the findings were addressed by the seller. We’re so thrilled with the whole experience! Even though we bought the house months ago, Eva still checks in on us to see if there’s anything we need as we’re settling in. Eva is an amazing real estate agent and her team provides an incredible level of client service!

Comment: I had reached out to Eva for help with buying a house in Pasadena. This was my first time buying real estate in the US and I didn’t know what to expect from my real estate agent. Now I know I got lucky to find Eva. She found a house that was exactly what I was looking for and she walked me through every step in the purchase process. I always felt comfortable asking her questions. She knew the market extremely well. I continue to rely on her staff as I do improvements on my new home. I know other agents don’t offer this much service. Thank you Eva. I’m happy I can rely on you to help me always.

Comment: My wife and I have been married for a few years now and we’re ready to start a family. Goodbye townhouse and hello traditional house!We’re both long-time residents of Pasadena, so we know how unpredictable the real estate market can be. For us, unpredictable = scary. We were wondering—what if our townhouse doesn’t sell for a good price? What if it takes forever to sell? What if the sale goes poorly and we can’t “move-up” comfortably? The worries began to mount....That all changed when we met Eva. She told us flat out that she believes selling a home shouldn’t be stressful or unpredictable. After our first meeting, my wife and I turned to each other and shared the same feeling -- “Wow. This is really going to happen. We can do this.”Eva laid out a plan and everything moved along perfectly. Her team was unbelievably responsive and caring. The care and attention we received as clients were so far beyond what we expected, its hard to describe. You just have to experience it for yourself :)In only 8 days (WOW!) Eva sold our Pasadena townhouse for $40,000 OVER asking price. Now, thanks to her guidance, we’re happily and peacefully focused on starting our family together. Eva was not just a run of the mill realtor for us. She was and is very special to us.

Comment: I’m a doctor, so I don’t have much time off work. I was concerned about how I’d manage my intense work schedule with all the details of buying a home for the very first time. I knew I wanted real estate in Pasadena, but besides that, I had a lot of questions.I needed an expert, and luckily, Eva appeared right on time! She didn’t jump in and start pushing me to buy a house. She accommodated to my busy schedule, she was very approachable and efficient in communicating with me. She took the time to show me all the different neighborhoods. She explained what made the Pasadena housing market unique, the different styles of homes around town, and the pros and cons of each. I felt empowered to make smart decisions based on the knowledge she shared. I didn’t think I’d feel so confident when buying my first home, but now that Im settled in my cozy new condo, I realize that Eva set me up for success every step of the way! Thank you, Eva! :) You’re the best real estate agent I could have asked for! From start and even until now, I know I can count on her in anything.P.S.Evas team offers a “concierge program” and it’s AMAZING. They help me throughout the whole home-buying process and even after the sale closed. Evas team helped me with utilities, clean-up, contractors, everything I didn’t have time to handle. Whatever I needed; they were there to help.

Comment: Our family just had the most incredible experience buying our new home. With our two little girls growing bigger every day, our Pasadena condo was getting too darn cramped! We were ready to buy a great house in a great school district. Since we heard wonderful things about Eva Lin from an old colleague, and we always see her signs around the neighborhood, we decided to give her a call. JACKPOT!Having Eva as our Realtor was such a delight. From the first meeting all the way to the closing, in both big ways and small, Eva made us feel special, valued, and downright celebrated. This wasnt our first foray into the real estate market and weve worked with other real estate agents in the past. Simply put, Eva and her team operate on a different level. Imagine the difference between staying in a suite at the Ritz-Carlton vs. a room at Motel 6!In addition to Evas unyielding eagerness and positivity, we were thrilled with how knowledgeable she was on the neighborhoods we were interested in (South Pasadena & La Canada) and her strategic/aggressive approach to beating out the competition so we could win the house we wanted. The overall KICK BUTT way she guided us through the whole process, including the help she offered with finding the right lender, was invaluable to us.Now were getting ready to sell our condo, which is something Id normally be less than excited about. Knowing that we have Eva and her team to guide us through this next project, I feel pumped and cant wait to continue enjoying my Ritz-Carlton-esque experience! Eva Lin is the BEST Realtor in Pasadena if you ask us!

Comment: Hi, Its Eva, we just finished with the inspection and everything looks good, you should be all set. I am in labor and headed to the hospital right now - but dont hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Thats Eva, realtor extraordinaire, and yes, this really did happen. We were unable to make it to an inspection but Eva attended on our behalf and afterward went straight to the hospital to give birth, a few days later, we closed on our first home.The real estate market in the San Gabriel Valley is fierce and competitive, with the deck stacked against traditional home buyers, favoring instead investors with all cash offers. We were not one of these investors, and so in this real estate market, we were automatically at a disadvantage. We were however strong candidates for financing and pre-approved to play the game.Together we toured a staggering number of properties and submitted numerous offers, counter offers, and final offers. But at no time did we ever feel pressured - we always felt that Eva had our best interest in mind. When we began to lose hope and settle for something less, Eva would gently guide us and reinvigorate our ambitions. At every meeting, Eva met us with a sincere grin and a can do attitude. She advised us on hidden costs, her professional recommendations, and possibilities - helping us to see each property for what it was and could be.Throughout the process, Eva becomes a good friend. She makes it a priority to learn about you and your family, how you spend your time, and what you find interesting and enjoyable. For special occasions, like birthdays and anniversaries, a special something would inevitably show up on our doorstep, from Eva - usually something personal with a handwritten note. Ultimately, Eva becomes an extension of your family, finding the perfect property to fit your needs and an advocate for you at the negotiating table.This was our first home purchase, which can be difficult to navigate, add to this the challenge of competing with buyers who make it their business to beat out others at seemingly any cost, we were stressed to say the least. For us to have any chance in this market, we needed a trusting and optimistic agent who is tenacious, tough, knowledgeable, and exhibits great finesse - Eva encompasses all of these traits. She professionally and enthusiastically guided us through the process of buying our first home. We count ourselves very fortunate to have worked with Eva and cannot speak more highly of her and her team.

Comment: We felt like we were under a lot of stress when we started house shopping and didnt really know what to expect from the process as we were on a time crunch due to our purchase being made through a 10-31 exchange. What a relief it was when we started to work with Eva. She took such a burden off our shoulders!Understanding our situation, Eva made herself available to us at all times; whether it was to answer a question or to go see a house – and we saw a lot of houses all over Pasadena! Even though we had to operate under a quick timeline to meet the 10-31 exchange deadline, Eva never once compromised the quality of her service. She thoroughly advised us on the pros and cons of each and every property we were interested in so we could make the BEST decision and not just the quickest decision. It was clear that her sole mission was to help us find the best house possible.Not only was Eva amazing in terms of her expertise and professionalism, but she was so much fun to work with too! She was incredibly positive and uplifting, which helped alleviate the stress we were under. We actually found ourselves looking forward to spending our weekends house hunting because we had so much fun doing it! It was like we were spending time with our good friend..not just some real estate agent.Once we found this house, Eva made sure to do everything it took to help us secure it. She compellingly communicated the story of our family, our dreams for the future, and how this house fit into those dreams. Clearly, this made a huge impact since the seller decided to pick us over the many other competitive offers received.Coming into this experience for the very first time, we did not expect to find a real estate agent like Eva. She really helped ease our minds and worries by always being very communicative, transparent, and easy to talk to. It may sound cheesy, but we truly feel that we’ve also made a friend in this process.

Comment: Working long hours in Downtown LA and living in OC was becoming too much to handle for me. It was time to find somewhere closer to the office to plant my roots and Pasadena seemed the perfect place. I was looking for an agent who knew the area and I came across Eva Lin. What a find! I’m so happy I had Eva and her team help me buy my new home. The last thing I needed was added stress or bad advice. Thankfully, Eva was a HUGE help! Her guidance and insights were invaluable, she connected me with an incredible mortgage lender who gave me a serious leg up on the competition, and when we found the right home, she helped me beat out 5 other offers (including 2 that were all cash!) Having the right real estate agent on your side makes all the difference in the world.

Comment: Eva Lin helped me to find a perfect house in Pasadena in wonderful San Rafael hills neighborhood. I was previously working with several local realtors and I’m very glad that I found Eva. From the day one was a pleasure to work with. She is confident and knowledgeable professional. She swiftly tackles the issues, she is always on top of things and goes above and beyond expectations. She makes you feel very comfortable, knowing that you have someone with your best interests in mind.We were able to negotiate the best price and also had a seller to make some extra repairs.I am very happy with my place but if I ever will be selling this house I will contact Eva Lin without reservations. I believe that she is hands down, the best real estate agent in Pasadena .Thank you Eva!Dr Alex Alsoufiev

Comment: My wife and I are law enforcement professionals in Los Angeles and Pasadena, respectively. Our jobs are stressful, so having a peaceful, relaxing place to call home is very important to us. We feel so blessed that we found Eva Lin because we know she respects and appreciates us as people, not just as another set of “clients.” We know she always wants the best for us. Through not just her words but also her actions, year after year, she has continually demonstrated the highest level of integrity, competence, and heartfelt thoughtfulness. Eva has been our realtor for five years now, but shes become so much more than just a real estate agent to our family. After having her help with a home lease, a home sale, and a home purchase theres no doubt that we can fully rely on her to give us her all and to always do right by us.

Comment: If I could give this agency a ZERO I would! As her client, she failed to provide me with competent service and did not disclose material facts that would have altered my decision in a purchase of a property she had the pleasure of taking to escrow a few times before; failed to disclose WHY the property fell out of ESCROW; provided me with disclosures AFTER I signed Escrow document and did NOT go over the documents with me- here a first time home buyer, a single parent and she just took her commission and ran with it! Definitely dont be the BUYER; if you are a SELLER she will make sure items are not disclosed; hence all the good reviews from Sellers. She can SELL thats for sure by hiding material fact!!!

Comment: Check her license and credentials with the Pasadena real estate board for non-disclosure and ethics charges. She not only lost, she came back and tried to fight it again and lost again. She went through three escrows with the property owner and didn’t share any of her knowledge. Didn’t disclose key facts that her and her pals at Seright Escrow hid. They Just wanted the property to close and she took all 5% home! Check out the California real estate board as well as Pasadena real estate board To see the charges. This woman is not a good representative for her clients like she claims to be. She has knowingly violated ethics codes and regulations to get paid and move on to the next rather then representing both sides she only Helped the seller and duped her buyers.

Comment: Eva Lin and her whole team helped our family in a very special way. When my wife and I decided to move our family from Pasadena to Westchester, NY, we knew we had a ton of work ahead of us. Selling our house was on top of the “BIG, STRESSFUL, SCARY PROJECTS LIST.” Thanks to Eva, though, the home sale was the easiest part of our cross-country move! She took so much weight off our shoulders and helped us in ways we didn’t even expect. One small example of her team’s thoughtfulness that jumps to mind: We mentioned to Eva that we planned to make a special trip to Burbank to purchase a new rug from Ikea so our living room would “show” better. Eva immediately volunteered to have one of her team members pick up the rug, deliver it to us, and install it for us! This kind of thoughtfulness was weaved all throughout our experience. Her guidance was very insightful and strategic. We received multiple offers and a great price on our home. Now we tell all our old friends back in Pasadena that if they need an amazing Realtor, Eva Lin is the best of best!

Comment: Lin Realty has provided an experience beyond anything I expected. Eva and her team have been amazing in helping my family find a home. As a first time homebuyer I had a lot of questions as well as a lot to learn about the entire process and Eva was there every step of the way.Eva and her team have really made the home buying process clear and easy. They have always been responsive to any questions or concerns in a quick manner. Also Evas insight and advice on properties as well as their worth has been invaluable and spot on. But its not just her that made the process great, Carolyn and the rest of the Lin Realty team have all been helpful in adding more flexibility to viewing and inspection schedules. Their recommendations for service providers have been great, providing thorough inspections and reports at reasonable prices.I thought that after we purchased our home we were finished but Eva and her team are still available to us helping us settle in and find reputable workers for minor upgrades necessary to the place.I completely recommend Lin Realty and the commitment they have to their clients.

Comment: Eva Lin helped us sell our Pasadena (Madison Heights) home and we are beyond satisfied with our experience. She was such a pleasure to work with. We met with several Pasadena real estate agents, but Eva gave us the sense of confidence and trust that we were hoping to find. Having bought and sold several properties before, this is the first time my husband and I felt that we were dealing with a real estate agent who was on our side and who went above and beyond our expectations. In addition to knowing the Pasadena area in depth, she delivered a great price and experience for us, as she promised. From A to Z, marketing to escrow to closing, she was on top of it. In our eyes, Eva Lin in the best Pasadena realtor to go to when selling a home! Thank you Eva and team!

But everyone on Evas team was amazing and made the entire process so smooth and painless. They were responsive, made great recommendations and didnt make you feel dumb when you asked basic questions. Even after 5 months since my wife and I closed on our new home, the team still keeps in touch and makes you feel appreciated. Id highly recommend Lin Realty Group!!

Comment: Without a doubt, we truly got lucky finding a realtor like Eva and a team like Lin Realty. We are so grateful and appreciative for the support we received.“Going above and beyond” is an understatement when it comes to our experience and this was not an ordinary home-buying experience. They are professional, reliable, responsive, consistent, trustworthy, and they genuinely care about their clients. They made us feel like we were their only clients they had and we knew that was far from the truth. Purchasing our home was not the only support we received as Lin Realty assisted us in setting up the moving process, finding companies to prepare the home for move-in day, and being available at the home when we couldn’t. It is very clear that Eva and her team have a passion for what they do and they have created an amazing empire. We have definitely been spoiled and we will continue a lifelong home-buying/selling relationship with them.A million times THANK YOU!

Comment: Going into the home buying process for the first time, my husband and I didn’t quite know what to expect. We were hopeful, a bit nervous, and very excited because buying a home meant we could finally start a family of our own. One thing we knew is that we needed to find the right person to help us on our journey.For us, the “right” person would be somebody patient and knowledgeable (since we were doing this for the first time), aggressive and proactive (since Pasadena is so competitive), and also fun and caring (since we’d probably be spending a lot of time together touring houses and talking strategy).In an endless sea of real estate agents, we didn’t know who to trust. We’re so glad we found Eva because she was the perfect fit for us. She patiently walked us through the many steps it takes to buy a home, she passionately strategized with us and negotiated on our behalf, she sincerely commiserated with us when roadblocks presented themselves, and she joyfully celebrated with us when we reached new milestones bringing us closer to our dream.Now our dream has come true – we’re the proud new owners of a charming Pasadena craftsman home. Thanks to Eva, the journey was as amazing as the destination.

Comment: My home is now officially sold and I’m beyond happy with how everything turned out! I can easily look back and say, “Thank goodness I picked Eva to be my realtor!!”A new job opportunity in Irvine meant I needed to sell my house in Pasadena. My online research of Pasadena real estate agents led me to call Eva Lin and from the very start I could tell she was the real deal. Her approach was super consultative, which I loved because she really dug deep to understand both my goals and concerns. She gave me straight answers and had a very clear plan of action that was well thought out.One of my favorite parts of having Eva as my realtor was how she and her staff would always go over and above the call of duty. For instance, we discovered that there was a permitting issue with some electrical work done in my converted shed. This was a big problem because it was holding up the sale. I was already living in my new home in Irvine, so the last thing I wanted to do was commute back to Pasadena multiple times to deal with the city, contractors, inspectors, etc. Even though I didn’t expect it, Eva’s Director of Client Care, Carolyn, jumped at the opportunity to take on the project. She coordinated with everybody, saw to it that the shed was brought up to code, got the sign off from the city inspector, and I didn’t need to make a single trip back to Pasadena! I was thrilled!Another one of my favorite parts of working with Eva was being able to rely on her negotiation skill. She did an outstanding job in negotiating the highest sales price for my home, which was incredibly important to me.I have the deepest gratitude for the help Eva provided to me and the way she and her team went the extra mile time and time again. I wouldn’t work with anybody else!TL/DR – Eva and her team helped me in numerous ways I didn’t even expect. They took all the stress off my shoulders, sold my Pasadena house for over the asking price, and were beyond helpful every step of the way. I never knew that a realtor could provide such a high level of service!

Comment: When we decided to sell our family home of 40 years we made the very lucky choice of EVA LIN to be our realtor. Eva was smart, she had the statistics to backup her position and she had a personal style that appealed to us. We knew that selling our home was not just an economic decision, it was also an emotional process.As it turned out 2 weeks after we put the house on the market my husband got sick. To make a long story short, Eva carried us through this time. She supported us through a move and she directed us to key decision points and with reason and statistics and a solid background in real estate sales she sold our home. We are happy to have been associated with Eva Lin and her group.

Comment: I was referred to Eva Lin by a close friend whom Eva had previously assisted with both a home sale and a home purchase. Once my family and I began working with Eva, I quickly understood why my friend was so passionate in his advice that we should hire her. She and her assistants were all incredibly genuine, eager, and proactive. Her insights into the different homes we were considering were invaluable. If we ever needed anything, Eva was extremely quick to respond. If we wanted to see a home and she wasn’t available, one of her team members would make sure to accommodate us. When we completed our purchase, her team coordinated with their trusted contractors to help us prepare the home for our move-in. Everything was so easy and pleasant. Now I will be the one who is paying forward the sage advice I received from my friend by passionately referring Eva and her team to others 😊

Comment: Do yourself a favor. Call Eva Lin. We did. And it was like Newton’s Third Law. For every action, there was an equal and opposite reaction. Every new challenge that popped up, Eva was there to handle it alongside us.Working with Eva was an exceptional experience for me and my family. She helped us sell our Lower Arroyo home in Pasadena and helped us purchase a new home nearby. Over the months we spent working together, we always felt we were in the hands of somebody who was both extremely skilled in her profession and extremely caring. It’s this unique blend of qualities that makes Eva the best of the best!She was always there for us when we needed her—extremely quick to respond and eager to help us. She and her team put in a tremendous amount of work making sure our home was ready to go on the market and gave it 210%. Example: the photography that was done on our home looked fine. Eva felt they could be improved upon, so she paid for a different photographer to immediately re-shoot the entire house!That’s just one small example. The biggest things are often the smallest things. Bottom line, we made fewer calls, we spent less time researching, we did less legwork and wrote fewer emails. And every step of the way we were aware of how difficult the process COULD HAVE BEEN.There’s the cake, here’s the cherry on top it all off, she did everything while she was 9 months pregnant! She called us on the day we were closing and apologized for not being able to hand us the keys in person. She was calling from the hospital, just hours after delivering her beautiful newborn baby! At this point you’re probably picking up the phone to call Eva, but you also don’t want to miss the rest of this review. Don’t worry, calling her is the better use of your time. I use run-on sentences whereas she will run on and on to get you into your new home or sell your current property.It felt wonderful knowing that we had a real estate agent who we could trust and who was eager to go the extra mile for us as a matter of principle. Now that we’ve worked with Eva, we can’t imagine anyone doing a better job.

Comment: We highly recommend this real estate agency. My experience with their agents and staff was enjoyable. They are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly and they do a lot service that other agents didn’t do. I look forward and welcome any future business together.

Comment: Having Eva and her team help us with our home purchase was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. After meeting Eva at one of her Pasadena open houses I decided to visit her in her office. I explained that I was searching for a move-in condition home in a lovely neighborhood where my husband and I could continue raising our three children. From there, our search together began. I think that in order to be a great real estate agent you have to be a great listener, and Eva certainly was that! She quickly helped us find a home that we absolutely adore (and now live in!). Everything was so quick, easy, and smooth because Eva and her team were always on top of their game and they really cared about helping us find the right home. Now that I think of it, I first met with Eva in early February, we were in escrow about two weeks later, and then we moved into our new home at the start of April! I can’t say enough about how caring, responsive, and effective Eva and her team are! If you’re looking for an exceptional realtor in the Pasadena area, you’ve found her!

Comment: Eva and her team handled everything we needed in a professional and courteous manner. From the day we first talked until the day Eva called and confirmed that the escrow had closed everything was seamless.In the beginning Eva made recommendations to make the home more appealing. She even had referrals for the various trades when our contractors failed to complete the job on time.When we hit the market Eva held the open house. She called me that night and said we had an offer, but that there were others coming in as well. All told we had 8 offers the first week we were on the market. Eva presented the offers in a manner that allowed us to compare them, side by side, on a spreadsheet. Eva then recommended a counter offer strategy that resulted in a sale that was $100,000 over our list price. In addition, we were able to close escrow in only 10 days. If you need a broker in the Pasadena area, I recommend Eva and her team for a job well done. You wont be disappointed.

They truly care about their clients’ hopes, dreams, and needs. What a breath of fresh air in an industry where most just see you as a walking commission check!

Comment: My husband and I spent many years living in student housing during our long graduate school programs. We dreamed of the day when we were out of school and able to buy an actual home of our own. That day finally came and we started looking for condos and townhouses in Pasadena, but we quickly became dismayed. The real estate market was crazy and so frustrating! All of the places we liked seemed to have 10 other people just like us putting in offers and driving the prices up to amounts that we just weren’t comfortable with. We decided to take a break for a few months and then try again.On the second try the market was still crazy, but we were determined! The market was pretty much as we had left it, but luckily Eva was great at helping us maintain our optimism. She was such a wonderful realtor to have helping us and found it incredibly beneficial having her input on all the pros/cons of the different places we were looking at. She brought up so many good points that we hadn’t considered and was very clearly looking out for us.We are so happy in our new condo and we’re so glad we had such a capable real estate agent guiding us because we certainly wouldn’t have ended up with our dream home if not for Eva. Based on previous experiences getting outbid by other buyers on very similar properties, we didn’t think it was worth the effort to pursue this one. Eva encouraged us to at least let her try and sure enough, she made it happen for us! Eva is a wonder!

Comment: What a treat it was having Eva guide our family on our quest to buy a home in the Arcadia school district. With so much on the line both financially and emotionally, we were really hoping to find a great real estate agent who truly cared about our family’s needs. We were also looking for somebody who was highly experienced with the home buying process and could give us an edge against all the other home buyers we were bidding against. Eva and her team absolutely fit the bill.With Eva’s help we beat out multiple offers to win a house that is perfect for us. Beyond that, she managed to have the seller pay for ALL of the repairs we requested. The whole process from our initial meeting to the close of escrow was so smooth. She was always there when we called or texted her, she anticipated potential problems, and she made us feel so cared for all along the way.Eva is an amazing real estate agent and her whole team is so passionate, effective, and a joy to work with. We can’t recommend her highly enough if you’re looking for somebody to help you find a home in the Pasadena or Arcadia area!

Comment: Before Eva, I was working with another agent to find an investment property in Pasadena. I wasn’t getting the results I wanted, possibly because my first agent wasn’t local and didn’t seem to know the area very well. I was losing patience as my offers were getting rejected, one after another! So, I reached out to Eva and she began to help me. She knew the area inside and out, and she quickly understood exactly the type of property I was hoping to find. It was important to me that I complete the purchase before year end, which put a bit of pressure on the situation. Eva worked diligently and tirelessly to meet my deadline! She found a property that I loved, made sure my offer was accepted, and everything seemed to be going great, but then I hit a HUGE snag—the lender I had previously chosen was unable to fund my loan! I almost lost my deposit because of this! Luckily, I had Eva on my side. She was right on top of it, and already had a back-up lender lined up because she suspected I might run into this issue with my first lender. She was also able to get an extension from the seller, saved my deposit, and saved my entire deal! I was so thrilled that Eva helped me secure the property before my deadline—this meant I got to enjoy a long, stress-free vacation outside of the US. I’m so glad I found Eva! She is best of the best!!!

Comment: Our top priority with selling our home was getting the highest price possible. Eva Lin promised us that she was the right agent to bring us top dollar, and she absolutely delivered. She sold our house for $180,000 over the asking price and it only took her about a week to get us in escrow. We were completely blown away by how effective, knowledgeable, and professional she and her team are.We loved that Eva has an entire team of assistants, contractors, and vendors who did a great job sprucing up, staging, and preparing our home to look its best before going on the market. Eva explained that this would generate the most buyer interest and lead to the highest sales price, and she was right. She smoothly coordinated the entire preparation and listing process without a snag. Working with Eva was just so easy. We’ve worked with good real estate agents in the past, but Eva is on a different level—she is a great real estate agent.Whenever we needed her, Eva was there. She made herself extremely accessible, always returning our calls within minutes and patiently answering our questions.Her knowledge of the market, pricing strategy, and marketing techniques were all extremely impressive. At the end of the day, the result speaks for itself. We know we received absolute top dollar for our home, and the process couldn’t have been smoother.It is important to have someone like Eva who is so hands-on and attentive to your needs while selling your home. We would definitely recommend others to use Eva and her team. It has been an unbelievable experience!

Comment: My wife and I hired Eva and her team to sell our Pasadena home and we are so pleased with the entire experience. First and foremost, we were thrilled with the price Eva was able to sell the home for and how quickly she was able to close the deal. We met with her a few months before we were ready to go on the market, and she diligently began helping us prepare and set a timeline. She took the time to really find out what was important to us and she genuinely listened to all of our thoughts, concerns, and questions. Thanks to the prep work and planning she helped us with ahead of time, the house sold for $40,000 over asking within 3 days of being listed and we actually had the money in the bank within 2 weeks! We didn’t even know such a thing was possible!Eva was there for us every step of the way and she orchestrated the entire process flawlessly. She did an incredible job managing all of the players involved—the city, the stager, various fix-it people, etc. Without fail, she knew everything that needed to be known and did everything that needed to be done. On top of everything else, it was a completely pleasurable experience working with her. We can’t recommend Eva highly enough and wouldn’t recommend anybody but her!

Comment: We were unsure about selling our previous house until we met Eva. She was the only realtor who truly heard us. Selling your home is an inherently stressful process, but Eva’s unwavering support made all the difference. From the thoughtful gifts her team dropped off, to the professional polish of our home’s Look Book, to the comfort of knowing that she’d always be honest with us, her whole approach put us at ease. No matter your vision, Eva shares it and fights tirelessly to meet your needs. Simply put, we were blown away.
