*****Clear Lake, TX "I recently bought a beautiful home with Calvin. From credit management, shopping lenders, searching home, negotiating with seller, and closing process, he proactively helped me to have a nice house. He is very kind, considerate and professional as a realtor. Whenever I need help, he directed me for right and cost-effective choice based on my financial condition. I'd like to strongly recommend him for your future home."

*****Friendswood, TX "Calvin is such an extraordinary realtor who can deliver a great result and a joy during a stressful time. Buying and selling house is one of the most difficult challenges that anyone will face but he enabled us to overcome the difficult situation flawlessly and provided the most reasonable guidelines. Also, he is such a friendly guy but some times he becomes a sharp negotiator. Whether you are a buyer or a seller, you will be fully satisfied. With his help and expertise, we were able to sell our home quickly with the best price for free and have been helped to buy the dream house."

*****Rice Military, Houston "What can I say about Calvin? My experience working with Calvin was excellent from beginning to end. As a first time homebuyer, I was skeptical about using the services of an exclusive buyer's agent because I felt like I knew what I wanted in a new home and could figure out the details myself. I challenged Calvin, asking, "Why should I go with you and your services?" "Because I'm the best and I know the home buying process," he said. Then he proceeded to show me the meaning of these words. We looked at no less than 70 properties in the hot summer months, with Calvin keeping track of every property we looked at and my many comments and likes/dislikes. He intuitively honed in on my preferences and pulled new properties for me to look at each week. He handled every step of the process, anticipating every pitfall of the contract, offer, and closing processes, and he was always available to me to answer my questions and make sure I didn't miss any deadlines. I certainly underestimated the amount of tedium involved in the home buying process and was quickly pleased with my decision to go with Calvin's services. He doggedly negotiated contract terms on my behalf delivering an incredible deal on my new home, extracting many concessions from the seller. Even today, 3 months after closing, Calvin is as responsive as ever to my questions. I'm grateful, as I know I am not the easiest guy to work with. Using a buyer's agent like Calvin is truly white-glove service. I can highly recommend using Calvin for your home buying services, especially if you value your time. Respectful, knowledgable, responsive, committed, and with a clean car to boot…go with Calvin, you will not regret it."

*****Katy, TX "I was very fortunate to have Calvin as my realtor. He is without a doubt the best realtor that you can have. I had chances to compare my experience with Calvin to my friends/colleagues' experience s with their realtors and it was clear to me that Calvin beats the competition in terms of every aspect, hands down. He truly cares that you are buying your "dream home." Calvin's services exceeds all expectations. He is accessible around the clock 7 days a week. It's as if he never goes to sleep. He is very responsive and accommodates your schedule (even on very short notices e.g. 30 minutes). Calvin has extensive knowledge about the market and house structures. He walks around and inspects the houses with you as if you he were the one buying the house. He is very talented in negotiations–aggressive but also pragmatic. He was consistently passionate about trying to find the perfect house for me during the two years I was looking for a house. It was a great pleasure to work with him. In short, Calvin Kim is exceptional. If you want a realtor that always gives you his full attention and makes you feel like you are his only client then go with Calvin."

*****Cypress, TX "Having a family member in the real estate industry, I can say with great confidence Calvin is one of the finest agents in the entire country, not just Houston. His expertise and sharp negotiating skills saved this buyer tens of thousands of dollars on a new home loaded with upgrades in one of the area's most desirable communities. Only a buyer's agent like Calvin truly represents the buyer. He does everything you'd expect from a true pro…and even more; enough to fill this entire page many times over. He's a tireless worker who leaves no stone unturned. I thank my lucky stars every day that I found Calvin before relocating to Houston."

*****Spring, TX "Can't say enough great things about Calvin. We are first time home buyers and expecting our first child and Calvin made this process quick and easy. Always open to answer any question we had. He educated us throughout the process and ensured we understood everything that took place. Calvin is patient and knowledgeable. I'm positive we wouldn't have closed as quickly as we did without Calvin. He advocated for us the whole way through. Will definitely choose Calvin in any future real estate transactions."

*****Pearland, TX "My wife and I first stopped by Perry Homes and spoke with a sales rep interested to purchase a new inventory home. We were considering to sign the contract but didn't feel that our questions were answered 100%. One of our fellow church member who purchased a new build recommended his realtor. We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Calvin. We've explained to Calvin that we really loved the Perry Home at the location close to 288. We met him at the sales office the following weekend. Calvin started educating us about the surrounding area. Train tracks near by, landfill on the other side of the neighborhood (many complaints about odor by existing home owners and ongoing class action lawsuit), many chemical plants near by, and on and on and on. We had no idea. So we looked at other homes with Calvin within his recommendations, and found 1 within our budget and 1 that we fell in love with that was out of our budget. Calvin later said that he saw the look on our faces when we were touring the house we fell in love with. Calvin told us he will speak with the builder to see about bringing the price down. I don't know what he did, but they brought the price down after it has already been reduced. Later, I found out that Calvin even gave up his 1% bonus during negotiation. Calvin not only negotiated the price of the house, but he also negotiated with the lender bringing down 1/4 of a percent interest rate and discounts in lender fees and contribution toward our closing costs from lender. From beginning until closing, Calvin looked after us. If you are looking to buying a house, you must have Calvin represent you! I highly recommend him!"

*****Houston TX "Calvin was awesome. He reminded me of key steps and concerns at each milestone. He provided me access to lots of helpful tools as I evaluated the properties and gave me a heads up on a few areas of concern that I was not aware of as I am new to the area. This was a desirable listing that attracted multiple offers and Calvin was very detailed in helping us modify our offer and win out. He thought of every little detail and it worked. He also helped me track the entire process carefully from A to Z - much appreciated! I would highly recommend Calvin Kim to anyone! He was very, very involved and I learned a lot throughout the purchase process."

This is long overdue, but Calvin has been nothing but excellent from the moment we contacted him. And he continued to help us out even after we closed on the house.

A few words to describe Calvin would be responsive, reliable, and friendly.

We purchased our house earlier this year in a hot seller’s market where all buyers were trying to purchase with very few homes available on the market. The houses that caught our attention would sell as early as the next day with multiple offers and sold way over asking price. He helped us navigate this craziness and came up with multiple contract provisions to make our offer more attractive, while protecting the most critical rights as homebuyers.

Since it was our first home purchase, we didn’t know the process or the market. There was one house that came out during a weekday, so we asked Calvin if we could meet to see it over the weekend. Then, Calvin went above and beyond to show us the house on the same day. Only because of this, did we find out that there was already an eager buyer, and Calvin helped us put an offer together that same night. We ended up losing, but looking back now, the house wasn’t for us. But if Calvin didn’t show it to us that night, we would have never had a chance, and we might be wondering whether we missed out on our dream house.

One of the many things that we absolutely appreciated was Calvin’s quick responses. Calvin was available after late workdays or early in the morning. Whether it’s an email, text, or phone call, he was available. After we dealt with many wedding vendors with late responses and unprofessionalism, Calvin felt like a competent breath of fresh air. We hope Calvin doesn’t always have to deal with picky clients like us, but Calvin was available at all times (which was extremely helpful because my husband and I have crazy work schedules) and put our minds at ease.

As first home buyers in a seller’s market, we had our fair share of heartaches and frustrations throughout the process. But Calvin guided us with professionalism and practical advice, and also with empathy to help us get over our broken hearts after losses to wealthy competitors. He was never pushy, but gave us all the information we needed to make a decision right for us.

Calvin continued to help even after we closed on our house. He walked us through the tax exemptions, protesting the appraisals, and helped us connect us with the right people since we needed to furnish our new home.
The housing market is entirely different now from the beginning of the year. But whether it’s a seller’s market or a buyer’s market, you’ll be glad to have Calvin on your team.

Calvin is one of the finest realtors who prioritizes your needs over other things and pays great attention to your likes and dislikes. The amount of effort and time he put into walking me through the process is unbelievable. He made the house buying process so easy, especially when I was buying my first house and helped me understand what was happening every step of the way. Amongst many things, one thing anyone who has ever worked with Calvin would agree is that he is utmost honest and immensely patient with seemingly endless questions. If we ever need to sell our current home, we know exactly who to call when the time comes.

If you do not want to go wrong with your house, simply go with Calvin as your realtor!!

Most honest person I have ever come across. His sincerity, professionalism and knowledge of the market is unparalleled. As a first-time homeowner, I was charting into an unknown territory, but Calvin made it so easy for me to go through the whole process. I am extremely happy with my first home. Calvin goes above and beyond to help you out at each step.
His research is thorough and has saved me from making wrong decision a couple of times. He is so involved with you in the entire process that before you can even say it, he understands what you like or dislike. It doesn’t end at just showing the houses, but Calvin makes it a point to connect you to the right person and will help you make the right decision.

He is more of a friend than our agent!!! I couldn’t be happier and will definitely recommend him to everyone I know!!!

Calvin was great to work with. Communication was on point throughout the whole process. I would definitely love the opportunity to work together again in the near future!
