I bought my first home with Anna Ow back in 2001 and she made the process so incredibly simple, I swore I would use her again in the future. Since 2001, I have run into Anna numerous times at open homes and we always had a fantastic rapport.
Unfortunately, I did not use Anna to purchase my townhome in Redwood Shores in 2005, but when I made a decision to sell the property in 2015, I did not hesitate for a moment in reaching out to Anna for her advice and expertise.
My intention was to sell the property quickly and Anna was at my home within hours of receiving my call. She discussed the process and advised me what I needed to do to make the property as marketable as possible. I took her advice without question and had the property ready to stage within days following her specific directions and her timeline. Anna handled all of the appointments with respect to inspections, which allowed me to focus on my busy days and not worry for a moment about selling my home.
The property hit the market, had an incredible turnout for the open houses and Anna received 7 offers on my home within 1 week!! Unbelievable!! Even more incredible was the fact that with her expertise and negotiating skills, she was able to secure a sales price WELL IN EXCESS of the asking price and far more than what her original expectation was. Once the offer was accepted, Anna made sure that the buyers were following their stated timeline and the closing took place without any issues whatsoever.
This was a completely seamless transaction with no stress at all on my part. Selling a home can be a complex procedure if you don’t have an agent who is knowledgeable, experienced and who will go the extra mile for their clients. Look no further than Anna Ow.

Anna Ow is the best agent you can trust to purchase your new home. We are first-time buyers, and we went from zero to home in 12 days. On our very first offer, we beat an all-cash buyer!
Within 12 hours of meeting Anna, she had already connected us with an excellent lending agent who prepared a pre-approval letter. She was extremely efficient at communicating with us, notified us quickly if a new property went on the market, and used electronic document-signing so we wouldn't have to take time off work and drive all over the place. Her experience gives her insight into the market that no other agent can match. She is very thorough and knows exactly what needs to be done to get the home you want.

We recently sold our home with Anna Ow as our listing agent. We are extremely happy with both the process and results.
We interviewed several possible listing agents, and we chose Anna based on a combination of her focus on and track record in the area where we lived as well as her professional demeanor. We lived in a somewhat older home and neighborhood, and early on, she had us face some hard realities in terms of certain changes which needed to be made for the home to appeal to potential buyers and market conditions. We initially emotionally resisted some of those changes, but then more rationally realized we should listen to and trust a professional. About listing price and strategy, again we decided to go with what she was suggesting.
The team of people she has put together to do minor changes/ repairs/ upgrades, painting and granite work, as well as staging, photography, and virtual tours were outstanding. We had over 120 parties come to see the house. There were multiple offers, all over the listing price. In the end, the house was sold in just over a week. And along the way, Anna was very supportive in working through all the necessary inspection, escrow/title company, etc. paperwork.
As a side note, we were in a situation of purchasing our next home in another state contingent on the closing of our current home. Anna was again very helpful in coordinating with our buying agent. The fact that our house sold within a week and then closed within two weeks- well in advance of the contingency date- certainly made that go smoothly and ameliorated a whole lot of potential stress and nail-biting.
Given our experience with Anna, we can whole-heartedly recommend her both as a consummate real estate professional, and as an person who was able and willing to understand, talk with, and help us through an extremely challenging time. In the end, we are two very appreciative and satisfied clients.

Anna was our listing agent for a condo that will be closing in 1 week. We hired her because of how well-known she is in Redwood Shores. I see her listings all the time, and we see her at open houses (she runs them herself and doesn't delegate to other agents).
WE LOVED WORKING WITH HER. She is very detail-oriented and very organized. We provided strong vendor recommendations (i.e. cleaners, power washers, stagers) who we all enjoyed working with. She thought about every detail during the transaction from beginning to end. We received constant updates (in a good way), and we never felt that anything was going to be missed. She's just REALLY on top of her work.
I am honestly surprised to see any low remarks with other reviews, as there is nothing that I can think of in terms of how Anna could have served us better. I've worked with many agents in the past (bought 3 homes, sold 2), and Anna is by far the best one we've worked with. I recommend her with with flying colors beyond any shadow of doubt. Oh, and by the way, she was able to sell our home for almost 10% above our asking price.
Anna was such a pleasure to work with. She's professional, personable, attentive and knowledgable. She really went above and beyond with our listing and I believe got us the best possible price. I would highly recommend her and would work with her again in a heartbeat.

We just closed on our condo in Redwood Shores. It was an amazing / whirlwind experience. After being priced out of several other properties, we figured it was time to have a realtor do the work for us and engaged Anna for assistance.
She leveraged her extensive contacts to find what we needed and within our price range. When something did come along (was on a Sunday afternoon, 3:45 PM), I simply sent her an email to help me pull disclosures on Monday. Within an hour, she had already met up with the seller's agent, worked out a very, very reasonable pre-emptive offer. A half hour after that, the wife and I had the disclosures in hand, reviewing, signing, initialing forms. We wrote the official offer by 9 PM and by 11 PM, we had it ratified, condo was ours!
In todays seller's market, the buyer is at a disadvantage unless they have some help. I can say with certainty that without Anna, we would still be looking today, over-bidding by hundreds of thousands over asking. When you look for a realtor, not only does he/she need to work hard and know the market, but must be well-connected to others in the business. Anna knows the Shores inside-out and most if not all of the realtors that work the area. Thanks for everything Anna!!!

Anna helped us buy our home 17 years ago. She was amazing and went above and beyond to find us a home that my architect husband would like. So when we decided to downsize, we asked Anna to help us sell our home. It was literally 2 months and 4 days from the day we signed the agent contract to close of escrow. In that 2 months, Anna was in constant communication with us. She answered emails, texts, phone calls very promptly. She has a great eye for detail and an amazing sense of design. She helped us showcase our house without changing the character and personality of our home. After just one weekend of open house, we received 14 offers, all without contingencies and all at least 13.6% above asking. We sold our home at 20% above asking. Anna was personable and professional and worked hard to find us a good home 17 years ago. That trait has not changed at all 17 years later. She cared for our feelings and she understood what our home meant to us and our children. We highly recommend Anna to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their home. You will have the best, and the most caring, personable, trustworthy and attention to detail professional realtor.

Anna did a great job in helping us all along the way. She was "on it" from go and had people lined up waiting to help us prep our place for sale, including handymen, stagers, cleaning folks, and inspectors. She understands that timing is everything and was constantly in touch with what was coming up for sale and how we were going to stack up against the competition. She's direct, frank and not afraid to tell you the good and the bad about your situation, which I appreciated. I told Anna my dream selling price and she got it for me...and I knew she wouldn't be satisfied until she got it. If you are looking to buy or sell in Redwood Shores, I don't think you can do much better than Anna.

Need a realtor on the peninsula? Redwood Shores in particular? Anna Ow is the right choice. We have bought and sold houses through Anna in RWS. She has been professional, friendly, and great at getting deals done.
As a seller, one of the best things about the transaction was that Anna had people lined up ready to buy a house in our area even before we listed. That helped us sell the place in less than a week.
As a buyer, Anna made sure the transaction for the house we wanted went smoothly. She handled a few little hiccups for us and again got the deal done in near-re cord time.
Finally, I should add that when it came to looking around for houses, Anna has been great in the past about finding properties that met our criteria, including ones that were not yet on the market.
I recommend Anna without reservation. Give her a call.

If you need a real estate agent, particularly in Redwood Shores, then look no further than Anna Ow. I've worked with a number of real estate agents in the last 12-15 years and Anna is the best! In our most recent move, Anna scoured Redwood Shores for the size of home for which we were looking and found us a GREAT deal! She helped to list our old house, aided in our working through a rent back and tight move window and just generally took care of everything we needed on both sides of the transaction. Over and above the usual real estate agent activities, Anna is a great marketeer of your property. She does all of the usual things in listing your property (top notch at that!) and contacts parties with whom she has come across in recent months to see if they would be interested in her new listings.
Anna made everything EASY! Thank you Anna!

Anna is the consummate real estate agent - efficient, considerate, professional and as an added bonus, a very nice person. My son worked with her previously, and our recent experience with her was everything we hoped for and more. Anna was very diligent throughout the entire process from search to offer to close - she oversaw every step of the transaction and made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. I wholeheartedly recommend her - she gets the job done!!!

Our experience with Anna Ow is when she represented the seller for a beautiful waterfront home in Redwood Shores. It was a no-nonsense transaction that resulted in closure in under a week. Our agent had a good experience working with Anna as well. Anna has many contacts in the real estate industry, and that worked to our benefit when it came to getting the transaction done quickly and smoothly. Her suggestions were very helpful. 5 stars.

Anna sold our home in Redwood Shores and helped us purchased our new home in Hillsborough. The entire process was extremely smooth. Anna was able to show our home and brought in multiple offers in one weekend. She was very efficient and understand the market very well. Before Anna, we had other agent in Redwood Shores. But by far our experience with Anna was far superior.

Anna Ow is the queen of the Shores! Not only is she the local expert but she's also the top producing agent in that area as well. If you are considering buying or selling a home in Redwood Shores, or anywhere in the peninsula, look no further! She has over 15 years of experience in real estate and is a top 1% producing agent. I've worked with her on a number of transactions and witnessed her professionalism in action. She sold a home in 3 days, over asking price with multiple offers! She knows exactly what needs to be done to sell your home in top dollar. She puts her clients' interest first & follows through with them through out the transaction. She also has great work ethics with her peers.
