As a rule, I generally do not submit recommendations for the vendors I work with.  This is because I perform extensive research before engaging with a vendor and, as such, have high expectations for the engagement.  The vendor would have to blow my socks off to merit a recommendation.  Alan and Nancy Chan at Synergi Properties warrant such a recommendation. After 7 years my wife and I decided to replace our primary residence in Orinda with one in Lafayette.  We wanted a backyard and a single story with a nice, manageable garden.  To be clear, my wife and I have sold multiple homes over the years, but this was different. When we met Alan and Nancy, they immediately felt like part of our family – guiding us through the process of preparing our family and our home for the challenges that lay ahead. They did it all – not only the stuff I expected like helping us decide on a reasonable price for the home we were selling, but also the things I did not expect like performing the staging of the property themselves rather than contracting with a 3rd party.  They rolled in one Saturday morning, and, by the end of the day, we had a showcase home that was more than ready to impress the market. We had a great offer by the end of our Open House, and Alan worked hard to negotiate with the prospective buyers to maximize that offer.  Now the clock was running, and Alan and Nancy had to balance their time between completing the sales process on the Orinda home and finding a new home.  If not, we would be homeless in 30 days! In retrospect, they must have cloned themselves because they were always there when we needed them.  They helped us find several prospective lenders to secure funding – which ensured our offers were as attractive as possible.  They also negotiated for some extra time in the old house, helped us find a mover, took us on many, many tours of homes that met our criteria, all while completing the sales process on the Orinda home. It felt like each visit to a potential new home was zeroing in on the perfect home for us – all the while keeping us calm and reassuring us that everything would be alright.  Finally, we found what we were looking for and Alan and Nancy switched into overdrive! Alan and Nancy negotiated with the Seller and, before we knew it, our offer was accepted!  They worked with the Seller and an extensive list of vendors they had built up over the years to make sure a 60-year-old house was in its best condition before we even moved in. To make a very long story short, we are in the new house and Alan and Nancy are still with us – helping with a myriad of things that clearly are outside the scope of what I had expected. If you need an agent that will go that extra mile and make you feel like your deal is the only one they’re focused on, Alan and Nancy from Synergi Properties are the people you’re looking for!

Alan and Nancy Chan of Synergi Properties are the ultimate dynamic duo and working with them was incredibly pleasant and seamless. Their work style is not only professional, but also warm and relaxed. They helped us sell our first rental property and the whole experience was smooth and stress free. Since this was our first sell, we had a lot of questions, but Alan and Nancy were extremely patient, responsive and thorough and they took the time to sit with us and explain the 1031 exchange process. They walked us through the process, updated us daily, and always provided valuable advice. We felt completely comfortable under their guidance. Not once did we feel pressured or stressed. They are knowledgeable, transparent, honest and their attention to detail is unmatched. They helped coordinate renovations and repairs (new flooring, paint, sink replacement etc), staged our home beautifully, and within a week our home was sold at a much higher price than expected! We highly recommend Alan and Nancy for any real estate needs because they really go above and beyond. They have a sincere, genuine passion for their work and it clearly shows. They are simply the best in the business. Thank you Alan and Nancy for your all your guidance and advice. You two are truly masters of your craft and we look forward to working together again 🙂

Alan and Nancy Chan are a husband-and-wife duo that helped me and my wife get our house on the market and quickly sell. Alan as a broker was experienced and confident, showcasing his in-depth knowledge of real estate. The whole operation went seamlessly and efficiently with his careful guidance. Nancy set up our home for staging and is responsible for all of the interior design elements. She has a keen eye for beauty, function, and trends, and her stylistic finesse is evident in what became a higher value and major selling point for our home. As a team, the two are a formidable partnership to reckon with. They are self-sufficient and take charge while keeping you informed and considered the whole way through. They left us with minimal amounts of work, and more importantly, absolutely no stress throughout this process—which was perfect for busy people like my wife and I. I cannot recommend Synergi enough. In all of our years in real estate, I’ve never had such an accommodating, efficient, and meticulously skillful team—a true pleasure to work with. Thank you, Nancy and Alan!

Alan and Nancy were referred to me by friends and I couldn't be more pleased with them as agents and look forward to working with them again. They definitely complement each other in all things real estate and were the most responsive, organized and efficient agents I have ever worked with. They showed up to my house to do initial walkthrough before listing and ended up rolling up their sleeves and helped me hang pictures and move furniture and do final staging so we could quickly list and sell. And that we did - they showed up on Monday, listing went live Thursday night, offers due Wednesday at 5 pm and we were in escrow by 9 pm. They were trustworthy, committed and offered sound advice that made the end to end process seamless and comfortable. They also represented me on the purchase of my new home and it was a positive experience as well. I'd give five stars to each of them as individuals so extra bonus when you have them both working on your side!!
