Jennie and her team at Zen Coast Homes are amazing. We've worked with another relator before and the comparison was just like night and day.
Jennie helped us both sell and buy. From the beginning I felt like we were in good hands. She is very organized and I really like how responsive she is as I feel like that is a necessary, crucial feature of a good realtor. We made the fixes to our home they recommended to maximize our value and were able to sell our home over asking price. They helped us set things up with getting quotes/bids so we didn't have to worry about it.
Buying our home was also a similar experience and they walked us through every disclosure on the homes we were interested in. It was nerve racking to go through the buying process here with all the competition and crazy Bay Area market but we ended up with a beautiful home. We are happy and very thankful to Jennie and Zen Coast Homes.
As a bonus you can also tell how they put in a lot of thoughtful little details in the process that are so appreciated, such as a watercolor painting of both are old home to remember it by as well as our new home to welcome us, and a welcome basket!
10/10 recommend, you can feel in a state of Zen knowing you're in good hands ! :)Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Jennie played an invaluable role in helping us secure our dream home. Her meticulous attention to detail behind the scenes ensured that every document and process was handled seamlessly, making our home-buying journey smooth and stress-free. Right from the start, she provided us with a comprehensive spreadsheet containing essential information and step-by-step process for the entire home-buying journey. Jennie patiently guided us through each detail, offering valuable tips and advice.
I highly recommend Jennie and Zen Coast Homes!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Shirley! Thank you for the kind words. We're glad to have helped you with buying your home!

Jennie and and her team did a great job with walking us through the home buying process as first time home buyers. From our initial meeting back in October 2023 where we first learned about the initial steps we would have to take, things to look out for during open house walkthroughs, to close of escrow, the process has been seamless.
Through Jennie's strategy and efforts, we were able to get our home within 2 months of moving back to the Bay area. We are so grateful and she was so patient to answering our numerous questions! I highly recommend anyone to contact Jennie for their home buying needs!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Zen Coast Homes. From the moment we started our home search, Samantha and Jennie were incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and responsive. We were super impressed by the detailed worksheet we walked through, and how closely the team paid attention to our specifications. The homes they found were so on point we went into escrow within a week of our first intro meeting.
Samantha guided us through the entire process with ease, ensuring that we understood every detail of the disclosures. Jennie also made multiple intros to their network of professionals --from contractors to plumbers-- to get us move-in ready in no time. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 31698117Oct 31, 2023
This review is LONG overdue - Jennie and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. Jennie and Ashley helped my fiancé and I purchase our first home in San Francisco!! They made the process easy and answered all of our novice questions. We started learning about the home-buying process and within 2 months we were already receiving the keys to our new house!
Ashley was also very nice in helping us look at a home when we were both out with COVID, taking pictures and videos of everything she thought would be helpful before we made our decision. The Zen Coast team doesn't just stop at the end of a sale/deal; Jennie holds wonderful get-togethers for her clients that we truly appreciate being a part of and is always willing to answer questions, even over a year after our home purchase. We can't thank Jennie & her team enough in helping us achieve this milestone and would definitely recommend them in a heart beat!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Christine L.Los Angeles, CA457665Apr 14, 2024
My husband and I were interested in purchasing our first home but we had a lot of questions & didn't really know where to start. We were introduced to Jennie through a family member's friend back in August 2023.
Before our first meeting, she sent over a survey that asked questions about our budgets and areas that we were interested in purchasing. We felt at ease and confident after the first meeting as she provided a lot of valuable information and all of it was clear & organized for us to process and review again in our own time.
Throughout the months, she checked in on us and would send us homes she thought we'd be interested in. She was always there to answer any questions and the entire journey from home searching to closing was smooth because of her support!
I definitely recommend connecting with Jennie from Zen Coast Homes to guide and support you in your next home purchase!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

My husband and I were introduced to Jennie by a friend right before we started thinking about buying our first home. At the beginning of the process, she shared with us a helpful spreadsheet with all the information and checklists that we would need throughout the home buying process, and patiently walked through all of it with us. She gave us lots of helpful tips and advice before we started looking, on everything from single family homes vs. condos to how to get a better interest rate.
Throughout the process, she was highly engaged and regularly checked in even though she was not our primary real estate agent. I was very impressed by her knowledge and experience, and I love how she cares so deeply about each of her clients, making sure that everyone has a personalized and positive experience.

Absolutely fantastic experience with Zen Coast Homes! From the first consultation to the final handshake, their professionalism, attention to detail, and personalized service were truly second to none. The team at Zen Coast Homes exemplifies the best real estate expertise and customer service.
We worked with Jennie Lok and Samantha Quintanilla. Jennie and Sam brought to the table an impressive understanding of the local real estate market and an extraordinary ability to pinpoint exactly what we were looking for. Their insights were spot-on, and they went above and beyond to provide us with comprehensive information about each property we considered.
Samantha is a powerhouse when it came to the process of viewing homes - from scheduling viewings to handling the paperwork. She was meticulous, organized, and always a step ahead. Their coordination was flawless, ensuring that no detail was overlooked. Sam's prompt communication meant we were never left wondering about the next steps or the status of properties we were interested in.
The duo worked seamlessly to ensure that our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Their dedication to our happiness was evident in every interaction. They were not just agents to us, but essential partners in our journey to find a wonderful home.
Even after closing the deal, Jennie and Sam continued to impress us. They provided us with a curated list of local resources to help us settle in and followed up to ensure we were completely satisfied. This level of post-sale service is rare and showed that their commitment to their clients is genuine and lasting.
If you're looking for real estate professionals who will offer you a personalized and caring approach, while still being incredibly efficient and effective, look no further than Zen Coast Homes. Jennie Lok and Samantha Quintanilla are truly the dream team, and we are endlessly grateful for their passion and dedication. We can't recommend them highly enough!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Chip. We're grateful for your trust and we're happy that you consider us as your real estate partners! We hope you're having a great time in your new home.

Jennie and her team are truly the best. We worked with Samantha as our agent but you could feel the strong support of the entire team throughout the whole process. We would ask a question about what something would cost and then receive a detailed report from their office with estimates or suggestions -- it was remarkable service, absolutely phenomenal!
They found my sister a home when another agent couldn't, they sold my landlord's home in a matter of weeks when a neighbor's took 3 months (during the exact same season), and they found my husband and me our dream home with a purchase price well below appraisal! They put us in touch with contractors, helped us with making the house move-in ready, and kept in touch AFTER we closed to ensure we were happy as can be.
Weeks after closing, we got a follow up call from the office to see if we needed anything. And then weeks after that, we got another personal call from Samantha again!
You know you have a champion team when they're continuously holding educational seminars, inviting you to webinars, and throwing movie nights. They care, they progress, they develop, and they deliver.
Thank you Zen Coast team! Here's to each and every one of you; we felt your commitment, hard work, and dedication. Our hearts are filled with so much gratitude, and sincere appreciation. Most of all, every time we pull up to our home, we smile from ear to ear.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
