Ted Chen is a phenomenal real estate agent who I cannot recommend more highly. He is the consummate professional, efficient, flexible, reliable, and very technically sound, well-versed in all the intricacies of real estate in the midst of a fluctuating and changing market. He has also assembled an extremely competent team full of team members who are extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and timely in communication. As an extremely busy healthcare professional, I needed someone I could trust to take care of all the details thoroughly and accommodate my very limited time schedule. Ted made my first real estate purchase manageable, smooth, easy, and mistake-free, unlike other real estate agents I have worked with. In layman terms or in pop culture terms, Ted is a “closer.” I highly endorse Ted for all your real estate needs.

I had the pleasure of working with Ted Chen during my recent home-buying journey, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From our very first meeting, it was clear that he was committed to understanding my needs and finding the perfect home for me. My requirements were quite specific, and finding a house that met them was very challenging.

Ted demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the local market and guided me through every step of the process. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and provided invaluable advice that made a significant difference.

One of Ted's standout qualities is his unwavering trustworthiness. From the very first interaction, it was evident that I could rely on him for honest advice and genuine support. In an industry where transparency can sometimes be lacking, Ted consistently prioritized my best interests.

He took the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of the buying process, ensuring I was well-informed and comfortable with each decision. Whenever I had questions or concerns, Ted was always available and willing to provide thoughtful, straightforward answers—even after I purchased the house! This open line of communication fostered a sense of trust that made me feel confident in every step we took together.

Additionally, Ted demonstrated a strong ethical compass, never pushing me to make decisions I wasn’t ready for or to compromise on my needs. He was patient and understanding, always respecting my budget and preferences, and helping me navigate any challenges with integrity.

In a highly competitive market where emotions often run high, I appreciated how Ted kept my best interests at heart. His honesty and commitment to finding the right home for me were evident throughout the process. I always felt like I had a partner who genuinely cared about my success, making it easy to trust his judgment and guidance.

One of the most remarkable aspects of my experience with Ted was how instrumental he was during the competitive bidding process. He expertly crafted my offer to highlight my strengths as a buyer, ensuring we stood out in a crowded field. Ted was strategic and proactive, analyzing the market and the seller’s needs to create compelling proposals.

Ted negotiated tirelessly on my behalf, advocating for my interests and pushing to secure the best possible terms. His confidence and expertise were reassuring, and thanks to his efforts, we ultimately secured the house that I had set my heart on. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate in such a competitive environment!

Our experience with Ted was phenomenal. As first time home buyers, we were daunted by the Bay Area real estate market, but Ted walked us through every step of the process while providing helpful advice along the way. After touring some homes, my wife and I really fell in love with one- but due to our busy work schedules we couldn't see it at the same time. Ted graciously visited the home with us three different times, working around our schedules without complaint, and helped advise us on the best strategies for our offer. Our offer was accepted and we moved in to a beautiful new home! I highly recommend his services!

Ted helped my parent's sell their home in Tracy and purchase a new home in the Bay Area under a limiting budget due to this market and closing deadlines. Not enough words to express our gratitude with his unrelenting patience and integrity. He wanted what we wanted for us. Integrity seems to be rare in people now days. He is knowledgeable about the real estate market, as well as knowledgeable about seller and buyer needs. This makes him an expert negotiator in bringing together distinct demands for a mutually beneficial situation. He was awesome, kind, and patient, thorough, helpful and made a challenging situation as smooth as possible at times when this market was making it exasperating for us. Thank you Ted for explaining the process and staying positive throughout everything!

Ted kept in touch at a level beyond what I expected, and helped me understand what sort of costs I’d face for houses in different parts of town, as well as for renovations I considered. Ted helped me buy a place in my price range and desired part of town, with less trouble than I expected from the process.

After Ted helped us secure a business for our Bahn Mi & Rolls Factory in Berkeley, we reached out to Ted again to pursue a single family investment property. As always, Ted was responsive to our questions and prompt with our requests. He guided us through each step of the investment decision and gave us solid advice. Ted never pressured us to do what we were not ready or comfortable with. We will continue to expand our business, and we will continue to include Ted as a valuable advisor in our investment purchases.

(Translated by Google) I feel so blessed to have crossed paths with Ted. He is knowledgeable, professional and most importantly trustworthy.
Through this process Ted has become more like family than a salesperson.
His exceptional and competent skills, outstanding experience, customer service and meticulous attention to details, helped me find my dream home.
I really appreciate working with Ted and can't thank him enough.
I will definitely recommend Mr. Ted Chen to all my family, friends and whoever is looking to buy a home.

Tongan: I asked Ted, a salesman from Faitotonu, to help me.
This is a very clear discussion, but there is no truth about buying and selling.
He pointed out, perhaps trying to avoid, my position.
Ted always made me feel comfortable when I asked about my need for help looking at the book.
My money was saved, this is a lonely job.
I am very grateful to Ted, his help, his communication, his ability to win, I got more than 7 people in Neo-Nongo. It's more important than me.
I want to tell my family, friends, and all of Tonga, that Ted will help me a lot in my school buying needs.

Great job 👍

Ted Chen from the Alux Group is one of a kind. He is not only a realtor whom is seeking only for $$$ but whom is a man with integrity who cares for the peace of mind of the seller. I can say this because he did it for us. He has this fire and commitment to exceed your expectation. The best attributes is that he is very attentive to what you want and helps you get it done. No one is perfect, our situation was a nightmare with so many obstacles for a sale- but a fighter never gives up.

Ted Chen also does commercial lease and real estate. Could he be lucky? Lucky or not he was able to find a solid buyer for my Salsa Picante Fremont in less than 5 days of listing.

Today marks a day of well deserve achievement. Thank you Ted!

We would like to thank Ted for helping us buy our new home. Ted worked with our schedules and preferences throughout our home-buying journey. Always punctual, professional, and responsive. With COVID restrictions in place, he was prompt with the additional paperwork and scheduling that went along with it.
Ted also suggested a few off-market listings within his network that matched our budget and requirements.
Often he would provide some insights on how much it would cost us to get something fixed or re-done for a home and this would be helpful for us in determining our offer prices.
I am happy to have worked with him and would be glad to recommend him to others.

It was a delight having Ted as our agent as he guided us through the entire selling process with tremendous insights and great advice. I firmly believe that Ted's diligence, experience, and professionalism is one of the key factors that led our house to be sold $302K over asking price.

We trusted Ted in the entire process as he provided thoughtful recommendations from re-modeling to pricing strategy. I highly recommend Ted. I hope you get a chance to talk to him or work with him as you embark on your journey to buy or sell a property, which is one of the most important tasks/decisions of our lifetime.

We're SO glad we got to work with Ted and his team for our home purchase! Being first-time home buyers, there were a lot of things we didn't know. Ted was always so patient and prompt in responding to us. He made sure we were aware of all our options and had our best interests in mind. We loved how he was transparent and never made us feel pressured into any decisions. Ted also gives the best referrals! We knew we were in great hands. Will definitely be referring our friends and family to Ted in the future!

In a fast-paced, extremely competitive Bay Area real estate market and especially for first home buyers, choosing a right agent is a key. We are lucky and thankful to work with Ted on our home buying journey. He's every aggressive, dedicated and always available when we need help, 24 hours a day 7 days a week, literally. Thank you again Ted for helping us to own our first piece of real estate market in the Bay. Looking forward to work with you in the future. Will definitely recommend your expertise to our friends in need.

Ted was an incredible guide to my wife and I as we navigated the purchase of our first home. He knows the process of buying a house inside and out, and was more than happy to help us at each step of the process. His advice helped us make a winning offer, and he remained diligent throughout the closing process to ensure we stayed on track.

Ted is awesome, the best realtor I've worked with. Very professional, courteous, and extremely timely. Communication is a big deal, especially in a fast paced market, and Ted was always on top of his game. Doesn't try to "sell" you a home, instead he partners with you to find the right home for you and yours. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone looking to purchase property in the Bay Area.

We worked with Ted Chen to purchase our home in California. Ted was incredibly helpful not only in finding us houses that suited our needs/wishes, but also in guiding us through the process and taking care of the many details in purchasing a home. He was always available (thanks for your flexibility and understanding!) and courteous, professional and efficient. He also provided good insight into the features of the homes we viewed and was concerned about our satisfaction with the home, not just making a sale. He was able to secure our home with a good price and great terms. In addition, he assisted with financing through his network of professionals. Talk about above and beyond! In summary, Ted is a fine example of the kind of realty professional you WANT to work with...you will not be disappointed. We will certainly work with Ted for our future needs and we HIGHLY recommend him WITHOUT RESERVATION. Thanks for all you have done for us, Ted!

Ted was quick, responsive and was able to multitask. All these were 3 very important things when it comes to making the right initial offer. The fact that we only offered once goes to show communication was very efficient. He was also helpful in providing advice and contacts about other support services that you need when buying a home. With all agents you need to be upfront about your expectations and that applies here as well. Overall i would recommend Ted and wouldn't hesitate to reuse him when needed.

Ted is the best realtor among all of the realtors we have worked with in the past. Ted was very professional and was very responsive. We had some challenges with our loan application due to tightened lender requirements, and Ted was able to get help for us through his network and we were eventually approved for the loan. Ted was never pushy asking us to submit an offer, and never pushed us to bid more than what we were comfortable with. We are definitely going to work with Ted for our future transactions and will recommend Ted to all our friends.
