Alex and his team orchestrated the sale of our home with surgical precision. This man is low key at the top of his game, but exudes the calm that comes with his decades of experience. No flash, no fuss, just clean and steady handling of every step from listing prep, to open house, to close. Alex in Peninsula real estate is like Neo in the Matrix, he is just a cut above.

When researching real estate agents to sell my dad's house, my plan was to interview at least 3 candidates before making a final decision. But my initial meeting and walk-through with Alex Wang was so successful that I hired him immediately. In hindsight, I am so very happy that I trusted my initial impressions!
Alex is a smart, organized, pragmatic and personable real estate agent who really understands the local market and how to best prep and market a property to make it as desirable as possible. He also has a dedicated team of skilled trades people and designers who can quickly and cost effectively renovate a "dated" looking home to dramatically boost its appeal.
Alex and his team at Rainmaker Real Estate did a truly phenomenal job of transforming my dad's "ugly duckling" home into a gorgeous swan that received 3 offers over asking price within 72 hours of our listing going live! The response was so amazing that we ended up cancelling the open house and accepting a no contingency offer from a highly motivated buyer who fell in love with the house.
Thanks to Alex, the entire process from prepping the house through close of escrow was seamless and easy. After the initial in person meeting, we were able to handle most of our communication through a combination of text, phone, email and Zoom which worked perfectly for me and eliminated the need to make repeated trips from the East Bay to the Peninsula.
I would highly encourage anyone on the Peninsula who is looking to sell their home (especially an older or 'cosmetically challenged' one) to consider working with Alex Wang at Rainmaker Real Estate. Alex is the best!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Alex and his team at Rainmaker Real Estate did an AMAZING job selling my elderly father's home in Palo Alto. They did everything from clearing out all of his unwanted furniture and belongings, made essential repairs, updated and painted the interior and exterior of the house , and spruced up the landscaping. They moved quickly and got the house ready to sell in record time. Most importantly, Alex and his team at Rainmaker were patient and sensitive to my father's needs as he was selling his house that he built and owned for over 45+ years. It was an emotional process for him that the team at Rainmaker's respected with kindness and caring each step of the way.
In the end Alex sold the house in record time for well over asking price!!
We hope to have the opportunity to work with Alex and his team again one day!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Alex has helped me buy and sell multiple properties over the years. Recently he's helped me sell a condo that hasn't had the best market due to rising interest rates and buyers preferring single family homes. It was during this down time where Alex really showed there are levels to this business. When it's a seller's market, every agent looks great. When it's a buyer's market, I'm glad I have the Scott Boras of real estate on my side. Alex not only got me a price above what I was hoping for. Even the buyer was appreciative of the 5 star service Alex provided to make the transaction seamless and meet their needs. It goes without saying, I highly recommend Alex and his team.

I highly recommend Alex Wang as a listing agent to sell a home.
My neighbor moved away and his son used Alex to manage the
repairs and fixup, list and sell the home. In our case we didn't
need much fixup (his strength), but he did an excellent job of
listing in 2 phases. First without going to MLS and with a limited
exposure thru agents he knows, and then the 2nd phase was going
to be with MLS.
To our benefit the first phase of 21 days without MLS he had
2-3 showings, resulting in an offer, a negotiation, and our
sale. That meant we had little fixup to do, no open houses,
and just a few interested persons touring and then offers.
Everything that Alex did was very professional, and he is
very experienced, well known, and well connected in this
valley. So our experience in selling our home was superb
thanks to Alex, and why we can recommend him highly.

I recently was in the unfortunate situation of having a house on the market for four months with virtually no activity. I decided to switch agents, and looked for a realtor in the Bay Area who grokked" high-tech, understood marketing, and that my wife and I felt could move our home quickly. Alex and his counterpart, Owen Halliday, both of Sereno Group Real Estate, quickly rose to the top of the list. We turned them loose, and ended up with multiple offers presented.
Can't recommend Sereno Group enough. Definite thumbs up.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

We would like to recommend Alex Wang and Rainmaker Real Estate to anyone looking for a real estate agent in the South Bay.
We chose Alex for our recent home sale because he has consistently done a fantastic job with our real estate transactions. Most folks looking for a realtor will probably wonder, "Will this realtor get us the best price?" We were extremely happy with his performance, he was able to attract multiple bidders and he was able to secure the appropriate buyer for our home.
Rainmaker has a modern retail office presence on the corner of El Camino and San Antonio in Los Altos. They have a wonderful, professional team working there including Alex, Jeff, and Chris. It was absolutely a team effort getting our last project to completion. We asked Alex & Rainmaker to sell our San Jose home. We live out of town, and the Rainmaker team managed all of the details of the repairs. This included finding vendors, getting bids, and scheduling the work. They gave persuasive business arguments for the entire repair and staging budget, and for each vendor choice.
Besides their results, the team is easy to work with. They answered all of our questions, texts, and emails in a timely manner. They were in close communication for every step of the process from the time we called them through the close of escrow.
We won't hesitate to choose Alex and Rainmaker for our future South Bay real estate needs. We would highly recommend them to our friends and family, and we certainly recommend them to you, generic interweb reader.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - J R.Los Altos, CA01Mar 2, 2023
We hired Alex and his team to help us sell our family home in Los Altos. Alex offered tremendous help in logistics and preparations for the sale. He coordinated the many requirements to make our sale very efficient. In short, we were able to close the sale and escrow within 30 days from signing the contract with Alex. He is always available by phone and text and he guided us through the sales process tremendously well. The effect was a tremendous confidence that we were always in good hands with Alex and his team. I am very thankful that we found him. We chose him due to his high ranking in reviews. I can say that we feel all the positive reviews are well founded and recommend him highly.

I recently bought a house with the help from Alex Wang's team, which reminds me of a quick Yelp review sitting in my "Draft" box for 1.5 years now for the house he helped me sell in 2019.
"I'm 55 years old (in finance) and have a couple of experiences already selling my own houses, before I came across Alex Wang's name online and from neighbor's recommendation. His expertise in strategizing price point and timing definitely helped me save a lot of time researching market trend myself."
In a nutshell, Alex helped me sell my house in 2019 and his team helped me buy a house in 2021. Yes, as a returning client, I'm pretty happy with what Alex and his team delivered so far, and therefore would highly recommend.

Our review is based on the experience that Alex Wang is, simply, the best realtor you can get in the Bay Area. Alex stands apart in his field because he isn't trying to tell you to buy a house you don't really want and he isn't telling you how much you should bid, but he asks the probing questions and provides you with the strategic guidance to help you get the outcome you truly want.
We had a lot of different ideas about what our next move would look like when we started house-hunting, and Alex patiently helped us work through our many different ideas. Alex's calm, thoughtful, and honest demeanor worked well for our family. He speaks intentionally and to add value, which means we really listened and carefully considered his input. His communication method and strategic advice cuts through the noise and he provides what you need to know and when you need to know it, while always respecting your time.
In Bay Area real estate, where the stakes are so high, this is the one area not to cut corners. In our case, we feel very lucky to have found that highly experienced, organized, and straight-talking realtor, and we have no doubt his negotiation skills landed us in our dream home. It wasn't easy. We went up against way too many other bids, went through a round of offers and counter-offers, and with Alex's counsel, came out with the winning bid. We went from having our bid accepted and selling our old house in the area in less than 90 days, thanks to his very competent and professional team who managed every little detail to get the house ready. Our selling experience with Alex was also everything we could have wanted: we sold our old house to a family (which is what we hoped for) and for more than we expected in record time and with no hiccups.
A personal reference is the highest compliment, which is why we are adding a 5-star review and have already referred friends to Alex.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
