Pei Lin and her dedicated team made selling our property seem effortless. Our
house had been on the market with another realtor for several months with no
results. We contacted Pei Lin knowing she was an enterprising realtor with an
impeccable reputation for hard work, honesty and integrity within the local real
estate sales community.
Pei Lin immediately recommended a few things we should do prior to listing the
house with her that would possibly facilitate the sale and/or lessen the chance for
“deal breaking” issues to arise after a purchase offer had been accepted. For
example, she strongly urged us to acquire our own home inspection, something
we had asked our prior realtor about but it was dismissed as not necessary. She
suggested we do this so we would have our own independent assessment of the
condition of our house and thus be aware upfront of any potential repair issues
that may be discovered by the lending institutions home inspection. This would
allow us to take corrective action on any repair item discovered and significantly
raise the chance of a successful closing.
Although perhaps not typical for every real estate transaction she is involved
with, in our case, Pei Lin obtained a purchase offer within the first week of listing
our house. The Pei Lin team continued marketing the house very aggressively
during the period from Purchase Offer to final closing, nothing was assumed and
the hard work continued as if a Purchase Offer had not been accepted. High
quality photographs were taken and assembled in both distinctive hard copy
marketing material and on her elegant website.
Pei Lin and her hard working team followed and assisted on the myriad of issues
that must be addressed when selling a property. We truly enjoyed working with
Pei Lin and she would be the only contact we would make if we ever need the
services of a realtor in the future.

We would like to thank Pei Lin and her team for the exceptional service they provided us with the recent selling of our home. Every call or email to Pei Lin was returned with an answer within a day, but often within the hour. Innovative marketing ideas helped to get our home the exposure it needed to sell quickly and for a higher price than we expected. Not only was our home listed many places on the web, the virtual video tour provided a visual reminder for those looking at homes. The brochures for potential buyers were complete with the advised pre-list inspection(excellent idea). Pictures throughout the house were printed on the brochure for the potential buyer to remember your house long after they leave. Negotiating the deal, Pei Lin had some great ideas for closing the deal. We followed the advice of the Pei Lin team and staged our home. I truly believe all of this made a difference. We sold our home quickly, no contingencies and for a great price. This is the person you want on your side, when it comes to selling your house.
-- Carol and Ron Pearson
Two buyers found in a week and seamless closure with top notch
professionalism every step of the way. Having moved numerous times on
active duty and owned four homes I've never had a better experience,
especially considering that the Pei Lin Team handled everything while
I was out of state!

Pei Lin is a wonderful real estate agent with specialized knowledge of the market surrounding Syracuse University. When I was looking for a home within walking distance of SU, she found one for me and was a great negotiator on price. Several years later when I sold the home, I knew that Pei Lin would be a great choice. She sold the house quickly and at a profit. I would give her a strong recommendation.

The Pei Lin Team.... The Dream Team
Selling a home can be a very emotional and overwhelming... however Pei Lin immediately put us at ease. We found her to be very professional, efficient, energetic, and caring.
Pei Lin has a great marketing theory... getting information... which included a website, wonderful photos of every room in our home... as well as a home movie to many NYS realtors...and anyone checking the website. Needless to say, only 11 days after the Keller Williams For Sale sign went up in front of our house, we were presented with an offer. Everyone on the Pei Lin Team was a joy to work with. Actually the Pei Lin team made our dream come true.... which was to sell our home as soon as possible. We have recommended Pei Lin and her team to several of our friends and relatives!!

Our business relationship and real estate history with Pei Lin is a long one: she has successfully sold 4 houses for us, purchased one from her, and looking to purchase a second one soon. Pei Lin is highly skilled in taking care of her client’s needs when they are looking to sell their home quickly and at the right price. An example of this reflects on a current real estate transaction we are in with Pei Lin. We listened to all of her suggestions about preparing our home to sell, and she showed us how to interpret our house inspection report. Without this information we would not have known what we needed to repair and replace, to improve our chances for a speedy sale. Her suggestions for cosmetic change also helped us prepare our house for a quick sale. Our home sold to one of the first lookers. In a very few hours our home moved from “for sale” to “offer pending.” Clients of Pei Lin’s also get to “tap into her expertise” when purchasing the right home for the right price. Our experience has been that Pei Lin works until she knows exactly what we are looking for and need in a home, and doesn’t stop working until that goal is met. The best way we can describe Pei Lin is “an experienced realtor with a razor-sharp perception of her client’s needs, and has a gift for fostering relationships.”
One way Pei Lin accomplishes this is that she is up-to-date on all the current trends of real estate. Pei Lin maintains close relationships and offers tips and ideas to all her clients through a monthly newsletter. Every month clients can expect to continue to “tap into her expertise” on issues such as energy efficiency, summer lawn care tips, and even delicious holiday recipes. I especially learned a lot about good lawn care from Pei Lin. Tips on “leaching” (which I knew nothing about) taught me what leaching was, and the application to follow to regain nutrients that are lost during the summer months. All in all, I am happy I found Pei Lin. I have someone I can depend on for all my real estate needs; someone who keeps me up on homeowner trends, and a friend that I can depend on.

Pei Lin helped Mike buy our Syracuse home in June 2000, so when we were ready to sell in 2006, we knew we wanted to work with her. Pei Lin builds relationships with her clients and works tirelessly. When she recommended that we stage our home to increase the asking price, we trusted her judgment, with excellent results. Our home received two offers after only one day on the market, and sold at the full asking price of $145,000! We can’t recommend Pei Lin and her team highly enough.

Dear Pei Lin,
I tried to call you today to offer my thanks for services above and beyond....
Both of us very much appreciate all the work you've done, and your friendship is important to us as well.

Hi Pei Lin,
Just wanted to thank you and your team for the sale of our house on Crystalwood. Thanks to you and your team, the closing was successfully completed today and we don't have to shovel that driveway or pay duplicate utility and tax bills anymore! As we told Kelly, we hope to have a BBQ/Pool party this summer for all those who helped in the selling and purchasing of our home and we sincerely hope you and your team will attend. You can count on us to recommend your realty services to anyone we know might be looking to buy or sell a home. Once again:
THANK YOU!

Pei Lin helped me buy my house and she helped me sell it. To put it mildly, buying and selling a home can be a trying experience. Pei Lin made the process clear and walked me through each step. When I bought my home she listened to what it was that I was looking for, and only showed me homes that I was interested in. And at the time I had to sell my home, I was living 400 miles away. She took care of details that I would never have been able to handle and marketed my house like it was her own.
Pei Lin's team was also a wonderful asset for a person who was doing all this for the first time. They were always available to answer questions and were very conscientious in assiting me. I never missed a deadline, my paperwork was always complete and they knew every detail of the laws and regulations I had to follow. They helped me with the ins and outs of financing and proved to be a great source of knowledge when assessing the physical characteristics of the homes I looked at. My experience with them was nothing but enjoyable. I highly recommend Pei Lin Huang and her team for anyone buying or selling a home.
-- M. Maguire
Performance is always judged by the outcome - "Good Job" to everyone on Pei Lin's Team! I wish I had a couple more houses for you to sell - you would surely be my choice again. Thanks.
-- M. McKenney
You all are an incredibly professional team. You kept me calm and focused. Gave me great advice & recommended great people. Thank you for making the incredible job of selling & buying a house go off without a hitch.
-- L. Grande
At this time, I would like to express my thanks to you for all of your hard work and assistance. I do not believe that we would have had a successful resolution of any of the various problems, or of the sale itself, if we had not had your participation and understanding.

Pei Lin Huang has helped me buy two houses and sell one; I am pleased to have the opportunity to point out three things that make working with her a unique experience.
First, Pei Lin is scrupulously honest. She will not break a confidence, underplay or overplay a property to manipulate a buyer, or make promises she cannot keep. She has always kept my best interests in mind and helped me articulate what my needs were. I would trust her with any complicated and difficult ethical issue that might come up in a real estate deal, and they do come up. Buying a house has been my single largest and most risky monetary commitment, and working with Pei Lin has meant that I have been able to spend zero time worrying about the motives and integrity of my realtor.
Secondly, Pei Lin is extremely organized. This means she is on top of the houses as they come on the market, making full use of the technology available. She also keeps tabs on the houses I am looking at, what my financial needs are, how my goals change (for instance, I am starting to look in the country for a house now, and she will not let that fact slip). I could tell you horror stories of realtors who have forgotten their client’s e-mails, ignored the fact that a house is no longer “active” (that is, there is an offer pending), or not known where to turn for more information. Pei Lin knows housing inspectors, other real estate agents, financial wizards; she knows everyone in the business and treats them with respect. She is plugged in to the entire scene, keeps on top of changes, returns phone calls, and answers e-mail with alacrity. It’s impressive and very effective when one is looking for a house or trying to sell one.
Finally, Pei Lin knows Syracuse and vicinity. She knows the neighborhoods as they wax and wane in price and knows how to market a house to its full value. I think she is the best real estate agent in the business for the Syracuse University area in particular, but she has helped me find houses as far south as Tully, NY. She works very long hours staying on top of the region’s changing real estate scene.
One last word. Pei Lin is a joy to work with. She makes it clear what integrity, humility and professionalism can (and should) mean in the competitive process of buying and selling houses. I can’t recommend her highly enough. I am sure she is a model for others in her profession and I am absolutely confident that her integrity and hard work will make her a success for years to come.

We would especially like to congratulate and thank you and your team for making the house sale a very positive experience. We appreciated your knowledge and the way that your team worked so well together. I always felt that, regardless of who I reached by phone, she or he was "on top of the situation."
It's very clear that you (personally) have wonderful human relations skills that instill confidence in your clients and make a potentially stressful experience a very manageable on. I would be very pleased to recommend you and Pei Lin Team to potential clients.
-- J. Bowering
We were wonderfully served and cared for. Our agent went far beyond the "call of duty".
-- P. & S. Jewell
(We) wanted to express our gratitude for the time, effort, and expertise that you and your team put forth to help make our dream of a second home become a reality.
We appreciate the long hours, the weekends and the last minute strategizing on both ends of the sell/buy process.
