"Naoko was introduced to me by a trusted friend and as soon as we met I instantly knew why. As a first time home buyer I was new to the process and could not be more grateful for the guidance Naoko provided. She listened to what I was looking for and helped to anticipate my needs throughout process of searching for a home as well as during the contract period. I appreciate that she was timely on all questions and came back to me with thoughtful research to support her point of view. I would recommend Naoko to any buyer that is looking for a realtor who will go the extra mile during the home buying journey."

"We can't even begin to tell you how happy we were with the job Naoko did for us. Naoko is the most dependable and responsible real estate agent we've ever worked with, and it's not even close. She sold our rental property and went through a 1031 exchange and found us an exchange property, and made the process as smooth as possible. We recommend Naoko Amaya to be your real estate agent, and you will not regret it."

"We were first time home buyers and had a very large search radius. Naoko helped us view over 20 houses all over the bay area and she accompanied us to all locations that we were interested in, some of which required more than an hour of driving each way. She also introduced us to new locations that we had not considered before but turned out to be very appealing to us. One thing that we loved about her as our agent was that she was very patient and we never felt pushed to speed our search or make a rash decision. Moreover, Naoko was very prompt in responding to our text messages and she was readily available for phone calls. She took the time to know our interests, priorities and criteria when it comes to buying a home and found us a house that was a perfect match. She was a very polite and joyful person to work with and we are very happy with our home purchase."

"We started looking for a house during the pandemic. Even though Naoko responded quickly, there were a few times the houses became pending before our visit. She was very supportive and her warm personality helped us a lot throughout the process. We had worked with other realtors in the past, but she is the best! Highly recommended!"

"We had a wonderful house hunting and buying experience with Naoko. She was diligent in understanding our needs and gave sound advice when it came to placing a competitive bid on a house that didn't make us feel overextended. Naoko was super responsive to our many requests to view open homes and answered all of our questions no matter how late it was in the day. She guided us thru the entire process and made sure we understood all of the pieces. We highly recommend Naoko to any potential home buyers."

"We're very grateful for Naoko in help in buying our new construction condo, and sell our old place. She sent us a lot of recommendations to get us started, then she arranged visits to several places over a couple of weeks until we found one we loved. She was always available and prompt in scheduling. Once we decided, Naoko negotiate a great price and got the builder to put in extra stuff for us. Unfortunately construction delay dragged on for over a year due to supply shortage in 2021, but Naoko stayed on top of things throughout, contacted the new building on schedule updates, offered help in short term rentals and moving and storage services, and made the wait much easier."

"I highly recommend Naoko! As first-time buyers, we could not have asked for a better experience. From helping us connect with an excellent mortgage broker to closing, Naoko was there to help us every step of the way. When we wanted to tour more homes more aggressively, she brought in an excellent and wonderful associate realtor to help. Together, they organized and attended multiple touring days, accompanying us on every walkthrough and patiently taking notes for us. Naoko is knowledgeable about all aspects of bay area real estate and knew exactly how to position us to be able to get an offer accepted. Even in this crazy market, we were able to have our second offer accepted due to her expertise and ability to negotiate with the sellers agent. In the end, we got a single-family house we love within our budget, which we thought was an impossible task at the outset! Highly highly recommend."

"Naoko is the absolute best! My family would not have our dream home if it weren’t for her. Not only were our transactions extremely complicated (buy new primary residence, sell 2 properties with specific timing involved), but they were also in an extremely competitive neighborhood (Campbell and Los Gatos) and under a volatile environment (while interest rates were jumping up). Naoko was patient as we took our time (~1 year) finding the perfect home. She gave us great advice throughout the experience and helped prep us for the eventual buy and sells under a very tight timeline. She was also very responsive, professional, candid, and pleasant to work with through all the twists and turns. My family couldn’t be happier with how everything worked out and would absolutely recommend her to family and friends, and work with her again for future real estate transactions."

"Naoko helped us to decide on the housing area when we were new and learning about the housing market. She was very helpful and helped us visit more than 40 houses before we made the purchase."

"Naoko did an amazing job helping me and my fiancé purchase our first home. We were initially working with Naoko to look for property in the Bay Area. Naoko is very knowledgeable in the real estate realm and provided us with the guidance and information we needed as first-time home buyers. As someone who's very data-driven, I loved the reports from Naoko regarding the local real estate market insights and trends. After a sudden life change, we ended up having to move to the Sacramento area. We enjoyed working with Naoko so much that we asked if she'd be willing to continue representing us as we were looking to build a new construction home. Naoko agreed and made the drive up to help us navigate the process. With Naoko's representation, we felt more confident when speaking and negotiating with the builders to get the best possible pricing and options. I highly recommend Naoko for any real estate needs, whether it is an existing property or new construction!"

"After bouncing through multiple agents, we closed our first home with Naoko. Naoko was available at all hours, helped us narrow down our offers and guided us through the purchase process. She was helpful and understanding, quick to respond and helped negotiate our terms with the seller after a sticky mortgage situation. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who is in the market."

"Naoko is a wonderful realtor! We bought our first home, and as first-time home buyers, we had many questions and a lot of anxiety. Naoko was always available to us whenever we had any concerns and was able to settle a lot of our anxiety, she set us up with a great lender, she helped us with negotiating our offer, and she even was able to give us contacts of businesses that she had experiences with to help us with renovations! Naoko is such a great resource for anything home-related. She is an excellent networker and really has fantastic interpersonal skills. Her relationships with her clients really mean a lot to her, and she really cares. I cannot say enough positive things about Naoko. Thank you so much for everything and for being available even more than a year after we bought our home!"

"I was trying to find a property before the interest rates went up, and the market was just crazy. Naoko was able to find an unlisted property that met our criteria and negotiate with the seller to accept our offer. I would recommend Naoko as she works with us rather than other agents who suggest higher offers."
