    Highly recommended.

  • Wei Min helped me purchase two Manhattan condos. His knowledge of the market is amazing, he is very organized, has great attention to detail and SAVED ME tens of thousands of dollars with his negotiation skills. Wei Min is a pro at what he does, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

  • When we finally decided to make a purchase in NYC, the first challenge was finding an agent that would have our interest in mind rather than a quick sale. We chose Weimin based on his excellent reviews and his interesting background. We were immediately impressed with his professionalism and knowledge of the real estate market. He took great care to understand our idea of the perfect apartment in the city, but also encouraged us to consider other options he felt we would love as well. We are so glad he did not limit the scope of the search to our original request because he found the perfect apartment for us outside of our original limits and negotiated an excellent price and concession agreement. We couldn’t believe how seamless the process was to complete our purchase. Weimin remained on top of all aspects of the search and purchase process with meticulous follow through.

  • Weimin helped with a property search in NYC. Great to work with and extremely knowledgeable. Very accommodating, adept at all aspects of the transaction. Weimin also has contacts for closing the deal and renovation experts. As an out of town client it was reassuring to have a true professional as our property broker.

  • Wei Min Tan has been an excellent real estate broker who has helped me with multiple deals — I’d highly recommend him. Whether you are buying your home or an investment property — he is an informed and trusted advisor and always goes above and beyond.

  • As a couple from California, we needed someone to guide us through the mess that is New York real estate, and WeiMin is the guy. After a few online meetings, Weimin gave us a whirlwind tour around NY in one day, noting the history and tendencies of many markets and many buildings (how does he remember them all??). Got a great meal at Fogo de Chao in between and even a refresher steam and sauna at his gym afterwards before flying back to San Fran. Found our unit and started the craziness that is a New York real estate purchase process. We Californians are used to click-click-click – here’s the keys to your house. But New York is the opposite of that (custom contracts, lawyer reviews, etc), so thank goodness for Weimin. Don’t forget to ask him about how he started writing for Jim Cramer, how he got on that TV show, why AI says he’s the best real estate agent in Manhattan, his insane yoga routines, and how to be fitter than a 20 year old. Great experience, great knowledge, can’t go wrong, give him a ring.

  • My wife and I met with a lot of agents before deciding to work with Wei Min. We chose him because he would actually discuss the pros and cons of owning real estate as an investment class. Furthermore, as we looked at property, he’d provide his opinion on how each property would hold up in terms of livability and in its future appeal to the market.

    In the end, we closed on our new place with Wei Min and couldn’t be happier. If it’s not obvious, I highly recommend Wei Min to any of our friends and that you should try working with him to see if his style fits yours.

  • Being a broker for more than 40 years, I have yet to meet a real estate broker with more integrity or professionalism than Wei Min. He has always been extremely courteous, knowledgeable. I was dealing with a very emotional situation with my son moving out of our home for the first time. Wei Min’s easy going caring way made the move that much easier for me. He not only was there at the beginning, he is always there whenever a problem occurs ex: repairs… and follow-up, not just a fast commission. I fully endorse Wei Min as a professional.

    Larry L Adler

  • We had the pleasure of working with Wei Min on the recent acquisition of my rental property, and we couldn’t be more impressed with his exceptional service. From start to finish, Wei Min demonstrated a level of responsiveness that exceeded my expectations. He was always available to answer my questions and concerns, and his prompt communication made the entire process seamless.  One of the things that really stood out to us was Wei Min’s expertise and knowledge in sourcing the properties that suit our needs. His guidance and suggestions were invaluable, and he helped us make informed decisions every step of the way.

  • Weimin managed to zero in on a selection of properties that met our criteria after just a short series of correspondences. He handled the entire negotiation and transaction professionally and efficiently. We are thoroughly pleased with our purchase.

    Jimmy

  • Weimin is definitely the most competent, professional, and personable real estate broker I have ever had the pleasure of working with to find a new home. He takes careful consideration of your preferences and balances it with his own expertise and opinion of the most valuable sites in the area. I had a wonderful experience with Weimin, and would definitely recommend him as a broker.

    Maymay Liu

  • Wei Min is pure pleasure to work with and guides you throughout the process patiently and with genuine care. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, responsive and provides the right advice at the right time, not to mention a nice person.

    Amir Eyal

  • As an overseas investor who has little knowledge about Manhattan real estate, Wei Min provided excellence guidance and display absolute professionalism through the deal. His in depth knowledge in Manhattan condo is the most valuable for investor. He walked us through the whole process until the property is leased out. It has been a pleasure working with him and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an apartment in Manhattan.

    L Loh

  • I found it quite a rewarding and interesting experience to work with Wei Min in buying the first condo in Manhattan for my family. First, he impressed me with his in depth knowledge of Manhattan properties and his strategic mindset. His advice were objective and made a lot sense when we compared the pros & cons and values for various condos. Second, I truly believe he knew what my family wanted even before I realized that myself. My husband and I ended up buying a unit in the building he showed us on the first day.

    Carol Pan

  • Meeting Weimin has truly been a stroke of good fortune for us. He is not only highly experienced and knowledgeable in the real estate market and property management — a true expert in his field — but also a person of great honesty, integrity, and sincerity.

    Throughout our journey, Weimin has always given us thoughtful, professional, and trustworthy advice, while genuinely looking after our best interests. Over time, he has become much more than a real estate professional to us — he is a trusted adviser, a mentor, and a good friend.

    ADT

  • I was looking to purchase a property in NYC and I feel so lucky that I got to know Wei Min Tan. Knowing nothing about real estate investment in the US, I needed a reliable and knowledgeable broker, and Wei Min Tan definitely meets that criteria. He explained every little detail to me during face to face meetings, through emails and phone calls. He even had translated handouts for my family to evaluate and compare. He is a broker who cares about his clients and he listened to my needs very well.
