James is a very experienced and professional realtor in the San Diego area.

He helped us purchased our new home and sold the old one with a creative solution and smooth transaction even in this crazy housing market this year. He and his team offered fabulous A-Z service from home buying & selling, mortgage financing to property management. We highly recommend James Yan to be your realtor when you are seeking to own, rent or sell a home in the SD area.

Shirley & David, Home Seller & Buyer in 2021

We first met James 4yrs ago and was impressed by his professionalism and his warm and respectful interaction even when we pulled out of buying a house at that point of time.

Fast forward to 2021 when we stopped at an open house rather unexpectedly and giving him a call at 3pm asking if he could represent us. He not only sent the offer documentation the same night, assisted us with finding mortgage dealers to completing the purchase in 30 days. He is quick to respond to your questions over email/text/call even on weekends. He has an excellent network of contacts to share for inspections, repair, remodelling, mortgages etc. I would highly recommend availing his service.

James has been a fantastic Realtor and we cannot recommend him enough!

My wife and I started our home search in the beginning of 2021 right at the start of the booming housing market. Though James provided continuous and accurate recommendations, my wife and I did not truly understand the crazy market that we were entering. With numerous failed offers, we started to understand the true market pricing and the strategy we would need to buy our home. James was extremely patient through the process and continued to encourage us even when things seemed impossible. As soon as we found an interesting house, James would immediately establish contact with the sellers agents to book us an appointment (which usually filled up the same day). Finally, after many months of trying to purchase a home we found the right one. James went the extra mile to personally talk to and convince the seller's agent to give us the opportunity to purchase the home. My wife and I are convinced that if it had not been for this extra effort, we would not have had our offer accepted. We finally had an accepted offer. Little did we know, that was just half the battle. James provided us a ton of support and recommendations to help us expedite on our 21 day closing. To add to James's great capabilities as a Realtor , James is also mortgage broker. Prior to our accepted offer, we already had financing in place, but James was able to help us find an even better rate for our loan. Not only was he able to get us the best rate, he was able to push it through to closing in expedited time frame we needed. This is a very long review of our experience with James, but I am sure I am forgetting a lot of other very positive experiences we had with him. We couldn't be happier to have worked with James and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

"Our townhouse purchase with James could not have gone any smoother! Documents were sent to us in a timely manner and James did a great job explaining any questions we had along the way. Our escrow period happened to overlap with a vacation to Hawaii and James made sure we were able to meet with a notary in Hawaii so that our purchase wasn't delayed. We ended up closing one week earlier than expected! James also acted as our mortgage broker which made it convenient as he was our one-stop-shop for everything we needed with our purchase. I would highly recommend James if you are in the market to buy a house."

His knowledge of the local market, attention to detail, and expertise throughout the entire process made everything feel seamless and stress-free.

"James is outstanding and is an expert with many neighborhoods in SD! Despite the two last homes we closed on being outside of his normal areas, he went above and beyond and gave very strong offers with the buying agents. James will not try to oversell and will give his honest opinion on a home with pros and cons and will even try to talk you out of a home you might like if he sees potential issues with it (e.g. noise, layout, etc). We'll continue to use James for our home buying needs as our family grows and our needs change!"
