Meet the team! The team consists of Ping ("Ping" happens to be my first name too), Me, Myself and I, a 4 person crew. OK. It's just me for now.

Here I want to quote something I read the other day:

"In the Real Estate business we believe that the smaller, the better! By being a small company we are compact efficient and streamlined with a hands-on business philosophy, providing old fashioned services with the latest technology. We give you 100% of our time, attention and expertise. With a big real estate company, it is not the company that you hire, it is the individual agent."

At PING Real Estate, you hire the whole company.

I try not to outsell myself (don't blame at me if I did try. After all I'm only human.) but if the following means anything to you, that might answer your questions why you should choose me.

Top 10 Reasons I'm the REALTOR® for You!

1. Accountability and Trustworthiness - I place accountability/trustworthiness as the #1 quality for a real estate agent. All right, experience, marketing, communication skills, personality, blah blah blah (I-love-me quotient), are all important criteria in selecting a real estate agent for your buying or selling needs. I fit those criteria, so do many more other agents.  I admit there are a lot of other agents who have way more years in the industry, place more ads, master the English language better, and are more personable than I. But few of them are as accountable. Having sold real estate for over 5 years, I contribute the secret of my success to just that: "accountability/trustworthiness". No matter when it comes to the relationship with my customers, clients, and peers, or the day-to-day business end, you can count on me for my words and actions. Your home might be the single most valuable investment you'll ever make. Don't you want it to be handled by the agent who is the most accountable /trustworthy? 

2. Proven Track Records - Formally the #1 agent at John L Scott Shelton office, now Broker/Owner of my own real estate office, I have the experience and proven record of successfully bringing buyers and sellers together.  No.1 selling and listing agent during my years working at John L Scott. In year 2006 and 2007, I made 50 some sale and gross commission of $250,000 each year. After opening PING Real Estate, with the slower real estate market since last year, I have still made impressive listing and sales volumes. Over 90% of my business comes from referrals and repeated clients.

3. Creative Marketing.  In today's market, most of the buyers search and find their properties online. I built PING Real Estate website from scratch, and I design and control all aspects of my website. By using analytic tracking program, I monitor the visitors traffic trend to my website everyday and target my online marketing accordingly. I utilize all the newest internet media including Craigslist, Zillow, Facebook, Blogger, YouTube etc to campaign my company and your listings. I also recently obtained several real estate domain names to promote my web presence in search engines. Being the owner/broker of my own real estate company, I have total control of marketing your property.  

4. Quick response and Personal Service Every Single Time - Whenever you call, your phone calls won't go to a switchboard, or be answered by a secretary, or be shuffled to any agent who happens to be doing floor time at that particular time of the day. Your phone calls won't go to voice mail (unless my phone is out of phone range or on another line, in which case leave a message, you will surely hear back from me right away or within 24 hours).  You get my personal professional service every single time you contact any of my numbers.  Equipped with all modern electronic technologies, I can access emails and listings from anywhere, anytime. I answer your phone calls and emails even when I  travel on the road.  I have a toll-free number that's connected to my cell phone. Sellers: as your seller's agent, that's also how you listings will be serviced. Buyers: as your buyer's agent, that's how you will be treated.

5. I'm one of the most driven agents in this business - Having always worked in large corporations (click here to view my work history) in all my previous life, I apply the competitiveness and work ethics working in a corporate world to anything I choose to do.  I am NOT one of those agents who would settle for just taking a listing, putting up a sign and then waiting for the phones to ring.   After all, if you don't give 100% in what you do, why bother.

6. Full-time real estate agent, nights, weekends and holidays.  If that's what business requires, that's how I work. My office is open from Monday to Saturday but I also work on weekends, nights and holidays by appointments- anything less and you'd be short changed.

7. Connections and resources - I'll use my connections and resources to work through your bumps and get you the best deal possible. Even after a transaction goes pending sale, there are many things behind the scene an agent needs to do to bring a sale to close. I'm one of the people who live and breathe real estate.  Real estate is my personal and family business. I have been a home buyer, a seller myself and worked with developers and builders.  I have the knowledge of the neighborhoods, market conditions, zoning regulations and local economy, and I know how frustrated the buying and selling process can be.  So it's my turn to help you this time around.

8. Straight-forward Approach. I'm a straight shooter.  I won't tell you what you like to hear.  I will lay out things as they are.  I don't play those real estate games and I don't have any used-car sales skills. No FALSE promises, just REAL results.

9. I'm a licensed loan originator. You know financing is often a major part in a real estate transaction. It can make or break a deal. Being a licensed loan originator, I work closely with a reputable local lending group. I have the inside education, knowledge and experience about real estate financing/refinancing. I can guide you through the complexity of getting a loan for your home before and during a transaction. You are not obligated to use me to handle your mortgage if you choose me as your REALTOR®. As a matter of fact, I'd prefer not to but being a licensed loan originator allows me access to the ins and outs of the complex mortgage world and assist you successfully obtain the loan by working closely with the loan officer of your choice.  It's a no-brainer your listing or purchase will greatly benefit from my combined knowledge and connections as a licensed loan originator and a licensed realtor. 

10. As a standard business practice, I'll try to preview homes before I show them to you, keeping you aware of market conditions as they evolve.
