WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I am a homeowner as of September 2020. Buying a home in COVID-19 was a big shot with all businesses shut and many restrictions, the team facilitated the process and had nothing but customer care and satisfaction delivered to the highest level. I’d recommend the team to you if you are purchasing properties in the SF bay area. I am looking forward to doing further business in the future with this absolutel...

— Sara J.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Stressed about selling your house while trying to live in it and go about your daily life? I was too! The Hanna group was amazing at supporting us through the process. Never did we feel pressured at any point along the process. We agreed in advance on the time frame that each step in the process would take. The team was in constant communication with us and very understanding if I had questions or concer...

— Anna L.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We heard about Zaid through a friend of ours. On the first visit, we got more information about home buying than anything we had read/heard before. As first-time home buyers, we had a lot of questions about the home-buying process. Zaid guided us through it and helped us more than we expected. Given the covid situation, there were no open houses. Zaid made us feel comfortable to ask him any time to visit...

— Ganesh K.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Zaid and his team are amazing! We recently bought a new home with Zaid’s help and the process went very smoothly. He helped link us to a lender (who was awesome), was honest about homes that we looked at, and ensures that everyone follows through on their part. He also helped to sell our old house within two weeks, which was wonderful given the market. I honestly don’t think we would’ve been successful i...

— Liz C.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Here we go again! After helping us buy our lovely home in 2018, Zaid did it again and sold it for us at an unbeatable price. If you’re looking to buy or sell a property in the Bay Area, stop here and talk to Zaid. I suggest that you meet with him, listen to his insight, then decide. His excellent knowledge of real estate, his solid customer service skills, and his extensive experience is priceless! Don’t...

— Saffar M.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

My experience with Zaid and his team was nothing short of amazing! I immediately felt at ease after my first conversation with Zaid as he answered all of my elementary questions and was so patient and kind. I couldn’t believe how seamless the process was despite the minor complications his team uncovered regarding my Mom’s trust documentation. And even then, Zaid’s team took the lead and laid out the st...

— Samantha S.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I have had 5 transactions using Zaid with Real Estate 38. I am more than pleased with the overall experience. If you are looking for fast sales at a great price Zaid and his team are at the top of the list.

— Mark W.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

My husband and I bought our first townhome with Zaid a couple of years ago and when we decided to move, we looked no further than Zaid and his group. We were both sellers and buyers during the pandemic, which was extremely stressful but Zaid and his team made the whole process very smooth for us.

— Aki N.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Zaid helped me and my wife purchase a home that truly made our hearts sing. It’s stressful to buy during COVID-19, but Zaid made it easy. His communication was stellar with fast responses and weekly check-ins. Our initial set of showings fell through due to properties going pending the day before, and Zaid put together a completely new schedule in just a few hours. Zaid is honest and transparent, never a...

— Justin N.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Zaid and his team are simply awesome. This is the 2nd time I worked with him and his team for buying and selling my home and they were just amazing! Zaid, Sushanta, Nedda, Teresa, and Amanda are simply superb and they know what they’re doing. They made all the transactions so easy and simple!

— Sima D.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Zaid did a great job. He was kind, professional, humble, personable, smart, and a strong negotiator. I appreciated that he was very responsive to our emails and calls and very thorough. He made what can often seem like a daunting task (selling a home) easy and pain-free. We got a great price in this market, thanks to Zaid’s expert input and guidance.

— Dawn F.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

My husband and I were first-time home buyers, and what a ride it was! We found Zaid through Redfin and had our introductory call on a Saturday. That evening, we found a must-see listing on Redfin, and, going only off of our positive initial impression, we told Zaid we’d like to engage him asap and whether he could help us see the house the next morning. Zaid responded right away and took time out of his ...

— Jessica C.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Zaid and his team are nothing short of exceptional! My wife and I originally contacted Zaid’s team through Yelp after being referred to them by one of our good friends (who also had many good things to say and purchased their home through Zaid’s team). Being 1st-time homebuyers, we really had no idea what we needed to do or exactly how to go about it. Zaid got right back to us within the hour and we set ...

— Steven L.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We just purchased our 2nd home in the bay area and boy, it was such a night and day experience for us (we worked with a different real estate agent previously). If we can give the Hanna Group 10 stars, we would. Zaid was The numbers guy and had a solid grasp on the market trends, he talked to us about good vs. bad investments, fixer-upper vs. new construction, and he never once hesitated to let us know h...

— Trinh T.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Working with Zaid Hanna was nothing short of a 5-star experience! After interviewing several agents, we hired Zaid to help us sell our home in Willow Glen and help us find a new one. We met with Zaid at our home and he spent hours answering all of our questions and providing us with objective data regarding the number of homes he sells, provided us with information on comps in our area, and how long thei...

— Aileen D.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We started the process of buying our first home without any prior knowledge or experience with real estate and home buying. We interviewed a few different real estate agents before deciding on Zaid’s Hanna group. In his introductory presentation, Zaid gave us a lot of confidence by walking us through the home buying process, sharing facts, explaining his reasoning by backing it up with data, and also ans...

— Parth B.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We purchased our house with the help of Zaid and Andrew. They were incredibly helpful and responsive from the beginning of this complex process and guided us through it. They helped us get a feel for the market, scheduled private open houses, provided good comps, and made the process very smooth. We were lucky to have found the house we liked and I thank Zaid and Andrew to help us close the deal.

— Sabina S.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Zaid and Andrew were absolutely the best! We were buying our first home, and hence, had very limited knowledge/experience. The initial presentation was super detailed and data-focused. The subsequent open houses, viewing appointments, offering drafting processes, etc. were seamless. Special shoutout to Andrew who was extremely quick to respond to all our queries, and patient throughout the process.

— Bhavika B.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Just two months ago, at the very start of our first home-buying journey, I found The Hanna Group on Yelp and loved the rave reviews about Zaid and his team. I sent a message and heard back from Zaid directly within about 20 minutes. Zaid set up an introductory call with me that afternoon. We had our buyers consult with him the very next day, and he paired us with our amazing agent Andrew Mirza. Literall...

— Christina R.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We first met Andrew Mirza (our Realtor®) and Zaid Hanna over Zoom at the height of the pandemic. In the midst of a very hot market, Andrew helped us buy our dream home in 3 short months – very rare because all my other friends buying homes spent 3x more time than that! Because of Andrew’s resourcefulness, we somehow came upon an amazing opportunity with an off-market property (not yet on MLS). Within 12 ...

— Abhilasha S.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

My fiance and I were looking to buy our first home this summer. Met with Zaid and Andrew virtually for 30 minutes and it all just felt right. Zaid and Andrew’s approach to this whole process made our decision to choose them so easy. The bottom line: they just wanted us happy in a home that we loved, backed by their years of experience and data-driven decisions. Andrew was amazing and took us on tours of...

— Bryan G.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Zaid, Andrew, and the rest of the team were excellent. They were professional, prompt, and had a real knowledge of the real-estate business. They helped us lock in a good price, referred us to great lenders, and provided fantastic notes on the disclosure documents. If you are a first-time buyer, they have a great introduction meeting they give that is really helpful. They go over the process and what to...

— Kyle R.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We were looking for a decent single-family house with a good school district. We got the opportunity to work with Andrew and he quickly took up the whole charge and was so passionate to show us houses one after another. On days I was tired of seeing more than 3 houses but he was all charged up to show more! What I noticed is, if you see a house with Andrew, he gives you a complete picture of the neighbor...

— Aditi S.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Michael was patient as Firetruck. I felt like we dragged him through San Jose, Boulder Creek, Sacramento, then back down into the Gilroy, San Martin Area. Overall possibly looked at about 40 ish houses together. Feels like there were more houses we checked out. When we first started, the market was pretty lukewarm. Then it got hot pretty quickly. The estimate of homes was a little off for our first offe...

— Josh & Selina

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I met Michael in San Jose. He was selling a nice 2 bedrooms apartment. He was very kind and resourceful. Our personalities had very good chemistry and that day, I decided that I was going to work with him. He is not only an excellent agent, but he has been an amazing mentor. He is fast and helped me to buy a house, I never thought that I was going to do it, but Michael made it easy for me, so we made it ...

— Raul V.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We met Michael at an open house for a property we were considering. We were immediately impressed by his warmth, professionalism attention to detail, and deep knowledge of the local market. We decided against that particular property but kept Michael in mind, and later called to see if he would be our buyer’s agent for a different property. He remembered us immediately and jumped right into our somewhat ...

— Allen H.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Michael was full of knowledge. He always went above and beyond to make sure we fully understood what was to come and answered every single one of our crazy questions.

— Joaquin D.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

The guidance that we received from A to Z was not expected and couldn’t have been more helpful to move through this buying process. Not only was I blown away by their knowledge and professionalism but had contact referrals for just everything. (lenders, home insurance, contractors, etc.) Any question that we asked them, they promptly responded. The professionalism between the team was very noticeable and...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Nini Tsai and the whole Hanna Group team were so amazing to work with in purchasing our first home!
