Jevin Chao was our listing agent when we sold our house, and we are very impressed with his work and efficiency, so we worked with him again when we bought our new home. He made a smart, feasible and logical schedule for our listing campaign and provided very thorough and precise information on vendor reports every week. He cared about our rights and interests in every negotiation no matter with buyers or other agents. We can see Jevin has a passion for his work and he is a super-intelligent guy. He replied to all questions we asked and answered our call even at 6 am early morning. He is a responsible, stable and positive property agent. We believe Jevin will have a fantastic achievement in this industry with no doubt.

An agent who is always professional and willing to help. I came across Jevin while attending a view under his listing. Jevin struck me as super efficient, friendly, honest and professional. I can tell that he's so passionate about his job and so genuine about all advice he gives. I started to rely on Jevin as my purchaser agent for my ongoing hunt in 2021. He is the one who always arrived on time and earlier than me. He prepares well before attending all view appointments. Every question I asked got answered. Jevin is not the first real estate agent that I used but is the best one I can trust - as a professional I know how hard it is to gain that kind of trust and confidence. I will definitely get in touch with him in the first place should I consider selling. I wish Jevin keeps his professionalism and passion - definitely recommend him to be your agent.

Jev and Matt have a great knowledge about the recent market. Our property was on the market for more than 8 months. Lost hope that it will get sold. We were just about to put our property off market . Our financial advisor then referred Jev and Matt's name, we thought to give this two wonderful guys a chance to sell our property. The day our property went on market, we received an offer on our property . Everything went smoothly until property was sold. Jev and Matt is truly amazing. Thank you so much once again.
This is my second time I have acquired Jevin's services to help me find our next house and not surprisingly, he did not disappoint. He has done an excellent job with exceptional communication between me him, and his partner Matthew. Although it is my first time getting acquainted with Matt, he was also a delightful person to work with and I am one of the few fortunate clients out there being represented by these land agents. Both have provided me with an accurate appraisal and managed to sell my house within the timeframe of only seven weeks. Selling/ purchasing a house is never easy, almost stressful on a daily basis. Both Jevin and Matt are aware of that and has been very accommodating from start to finish. Another big thank you for that. Overall, I will vouch Jevin and Matt or even perhaps other Bayleys in NorthWest branch over Harcourts.
