This is a review of a different sorts because it's from the POV of a potential renter. I met Micheal as a matter of fate while in Foster City, having a coffee on the bay. I was casually looking in the area for housing, due to relocation for work. I walked passed a home with a sign for lease. Micheal immediately answered and had me stop by. He was so accommodating with the late notice and very knowledgeable. Let me explore the home, gave details on its background, and answered questions about the area. The residency was staged so eloquently. It was light, airy, and felt like you were already

Absolutely the best real estate company I have worked with. Not only does Michael and Tina help you with your real estate transaction, they go above and beyond that. The way Tina staged our home for our open house, it completely transformed our house and we were able to sell it just within a few days.

Upon my first meeting with Tina Lam and Michael Cheng of Archer Homes, it was obvious that they were both extremely knowledgeable about the Silicon Valley real estate market. I learned so much in that initial coffee chat we had and knew immediately that I wanted to partner with them to sell my home. Based on my very positive experience, I recommend them highly if you are considering buying or selling your home. Their knowledgeable and experience on the market as well as the home selling and buying process is UNPARALLELED. I was particularly impressed by Tina and Michael's ability to cater

I knew that I'd need to find an agent who I could trust, was easy to work with, and would have my best interest in mind. I sent out a couple emails to agents in the area and was surprised at how long it took to get a response (one took over a week, the other didn't respond). Then I found Archers Homes and got a response the very next day. After a short conversation, Tina scheduled visits to a number of apartments in

When we first began our realtor search, we had two requirements. First, we wanted someone who would truly have our best interest at heart. Second, we wanted someone with the knowledge to help us make a good financial decision, because we were looking for a balance between a home and an investment. We chose Michael Cheng and Tim Lam because we thought they were the perfect combination of what we were looking for and after our 6+ month search, feel they definitely delivered. Tina really cared about what we wanted and was not happy unless we were happy. Michael has a MBA and specializes in investments
