About

Clients Come First. That has been my philosophy since I started my real estate career back in 2006. I keep a constant communication with my clients, keeping them fully informed throughout the entire buying or selling process. I believe that if you're not left with an amazing experience, I haven't done my job. I don't measure success through achievements or awards, but through the satisfaction of my clients. I understand that buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction: it's a life-changing experience. That's why I dedicated myself in providing exceptional, personalized service for all of my clients. I take great pride in the relationships we build and always work relentlessly on the client's behalf to help them achieve their real estate goals.

My job is to provide information on current market trends, home staging and preparation, extensive experience in projects development, residential construction, relocation, as well as a broad understanding of surrounding areas, their amenities and public and private area schools. Having the experience of handling hundreds of successful sales, I enjoy sharing my opinions with clients on the true value of a property by combining current market conditions with any unrecognized potential the property may have. Often times, it is very helpful to do minor improvements or customization that can maximize the property's value, knowing what and how to spend the money to get the best return of their investments. Excellent marketing and skillful negotiations is the key to sell listings at the shortest time and the best price. Over the years, I am very pround to see clients gaining much bigger financial rewards than the average return on the market by following my advice and investing in the right properties.I believe taking action with great passion leads to happiness and success. The thing I enjoy the most in this business is to create an unparalleled trusted and friendly relationship with clients. The close friendship is the most important factor to achieve the success of my business! I like to listen to your needs and most importantly help you achieve your goals.

What Clients Are Saying

"This is the second time we purchased a property with Rebecca. The process was even smoother than the first time. Rebecca understands the market and she spends time to listen to us and understands our specific need. Her experience and expertise enabled her to make very tailored and clear recommendations that meet our criteria. For the property we eventually purchased, she helped us win the bidding war with two higher bids from other buyers (I got this information from the seller's agent). She was also super helpful in the closing process and shared a lot of great advice for property maintenance, leasing and dealing with tenants. Thanks Rebecca. We are grateful for all your help!"

MingyiXu9 - Zillow

Due to our pleasant first collaboration and the successful purchase of our desired home, we chose Rebecca without hesitation to be the listing agent for this property. Rebecca maintained her usual professionalism. She thoroughly researched the local housing market and provided us with the best possible options. When we expressed our desire for a quick sale, she respected our wishes. The sale of this property was not easy, with multiple offers in the first round, going back on the market, and finally closing at a satisfactory price after some twists and turns. Throughout the process, Rebecca remained calm and patient, skillfully negotiating with multiple agents and accurately understanding the buyers' mindset. We are very grateful to have Rebecca as our agent. She is exceptionally experienced, has accurate market judgment, is particularly skilled in negotiation, efficient in execution, and decisive in action. We have recommended Rebecca to many of our friends, and their feedback aligns perfectly with ours. We will continue to recommend Rebecca to more people.

I will want to retain her service again for my next investment project.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Rebecca in our quest for a single-family home in Newton.

From the beginning, Rebecca's in-depth knowledge of the market was evident. During our preliminary stages of house hunting, where we explored various suburban areas around Boston, Rebecca was a treasure trove of insights. Tailored to our needs, she provided invaluable information that enabled us to make informed decisions. Rebecca holds an exceptionally high standard for properties. Each time we visited a prospective home, she would dissect its pros and cons with an objective lens, always striving to ensure that the property was the right fit for us.

Rebecca is not merely an agent facilitating a transaction; she is a true thought partner. Her dedication to placing our interests at the forefront was evident throughout our collaboration. This commitment was especially highlighted during negotiations where Rebecca showcased her adeptness, zealously advocating for our best interests.

The home-buying journey, inherently filled with ups and downs, was made significantly smoother with Rebecca by our side. She is not only a trusted advisor but also a fervent ally in every phase of the process. For anyone seeking a home in the greater Boston area, we wholeheartedly recommend Rebecca for her professionalism, integrity, and unmatched expertise.

I got this investment property with the help from Rebecca Zeng back in 2021. I felt sorry to provide feedback this late. Never late than nothing. :) I really want other people to also benefit from working with such a professional. Rebecca has been in this area for more than a decade and she is really knowledgeable. She can tailor the need for her clients and negotiate a good deal as much as she can. Based on the budget provided by the clients, she can help you figure out what could work best. Rebecca is a reliable and committed professional. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone knowledgeable, reliable, trustworthy and caring.

zuser20160725122226889 - Zillow

This is my 2nd time working with Rebecca and she never failed to impress me. Aside from being experienced in her field, she’s also very professional. Before this deal she also helped me secure a property with a more than reasonable asking price. Rebecca helped me to negotiate for a price and terms that I would not imagine. Unfortunately the sellers changed their mind since another buyer offered 6% more than the price agreed to sell to us...


And with my latest purchase, my offer was accepted despite having 8 offers and 3 of them are higher than mine. Our offer was accepted because of how professional Rebecca dealt with the listing agent. It’s worthy to point out that the price she negotiated for me is the comparable lowest for the available properties on the market! The appraisal report indicated that the property is 2% higher in value than my purchase price, and 3% cheaper than the sold price of another unit in the same condominium complex. She has multiple clients and some of them are far more capable to afford higher value properties than myself. Yet, she treats me no different than her higher value clients. She applied the same level of quality time, experience, strategic skills, and efforts regardless of the value of the properties and serviced her clients indifferently.

I had been looking to buy since March 2023 and for nine months Rebecca spent her time and effort educating me on my choices and options. For each offer that I had made she always negotiated to get the best possible deal for me. This is the second time Twice she helped me with very satisfied end results for my two investment properties. She has always facilitated communication among all the parties and made closing timely and smoothly. She also never afraid to fights to protect our best interest! Rebecca Zeng will always be my go-to with anything about real estate. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help from a professional and exceptional real estate agent.

Lewanna Li - Zillow

Rebecca is an extraordinary agent; THE BEST ONE we have worked for so far. We would like to reflect on 3 key aspects that we saw for fact that she brought to us.

1. Rebecca’s customer interest-focusing philosophy and attitude warrant her seeking the best interest for us: Rebecca is very savvy and fast in understanding what we wanted: a transfer from a condo to a single family, which is, for a better quality of life during the limited life journey of us with our young kids. She is very observative during our discussion process, and knew how to balance the decision-making discussion with her factual insights about the potential properties, and know when and how deep her opinion should voice that will not only help us to get the best deal, but also have a balanced input from both husband and wife.  

Another example: after we had agreed on the best property to put our offer, Rebecca mentioned the strategies and risks of cutting the sales price. I as husband was pessimistic and expressed that I do not have expectation for price cut, though my wife did have her expectation.

 

Rebecca set her goal beyond our expectations. She treated our purchase just as she herself being wise to purchase a house of her own. We accepted her strategy, and she eventually did fulfill the big price cut she expected. She is an extremely experienced coach that knows what to ask and when to ask, and most of her judgment of each step and situation proves to be accurate.

Also, Rebecca worked on our best interest by providing us with options of top-rated inspector, mortgage companies, and law officer, as stated in detailed numbers below. 

2. Rebecca’s capability is demonstrated by over-achieving customers’ expectations:

After negotiation had begun, the listing agent sensed the strength of Rebecca, so she asked a super experienced agent to work together to deal with Rebecca. To get our best interest, Rebecca was combating with two experienced agents individually have 16+ years of experience dince they were representing the seller's best interst as well. Nevertheless, Rebecca was still able to achieve OUR goal of sale price and major P&S conditions. She helped us to get >7.4% price cut, which is 100K price cut, which saved us huge amount of money. Compared to our previous purchase, we only got <4% price cut, and that was in 2018. It is quite unusual to get such big price cut in Newton market at the time. Also, because of her vast resources, she helped us to connect with a VP of a mortgage bank that got us an incredibly low interest rate of 4.375% 10 yr ARM amid the roaring interest rate during the 2022 Sep to Oct period (average interest 6% to 7%). These numbers made us greatly confident to recommend Rebecca as THE top-ranked agent to our friends.

3. Rebecca is a source of premium resources across the vast areas related to my home and real estate. After we purchased the house, we needed to renovate and do work on the house. Rebecca has been serving as experienced counsel that knows the people in the field, e.g., general contractors, floors, painting, plumbing, etc. She can evaluate the people we pick, because she has been a star veteran in the field. And again, she continued to provide her vetted and proven top contractors that saved our time and money that do splendid work.

In summary, our experience told us that Rebecca put the best interest for her customers- in the philosophy, attitude, and capability; with her, customers will get good things that beyond their expectations; and selecting her means linking to a vast resource for home property related projects.

Great experience and smooth transaction!
We just started our looking in Boston, had some ideas about Back Bay and Seaport district but not sure where to go or what to get. Rebecca showed us a couple of places, identified our needs fast through good communication.
She helped us find this condo in Back Bay that we loved it very much. It’s a great buying experience. Rebecca coordinated this transaction from beginning to end. She knows her area well, very professional, stays on her clients side, highly recommended!

Rebecca was very patient during the whole time when we searched for our house. The period lasted 3 months and she was both instructive and informative. She not only educated us regarding the market but also pointed out specific properties' pros and cons. We're fortunate to have her by our side!

Han Jiang 405 Main Street

A strong recommendation from a friend led us to choose Rebecca as our buying agent. We decided to buy a home at the end of 2022. Rebecca regularly sent us potential suitable listings, considering our preferences and financial situation. Over two to three months, she patiently accompanied us to view numerous houses. We liked several of them, but due to the overheated market, we frequently had to increase our offers. Unfortunately, even at our maximum offer, we were not successful. Rebecca encouraged us to keep looking, but we decided to pause our search due to the market's intensity. By the end of 2023, we resumed our home-buying plans. Rebecca continued to patiently show us properties. We came across a house that we initially didn't intend to buy because of its high price. However, after it went back on the market and dropped in price twice, we decided to take a look. After the viewing, Rebecca informed us that this was a rare opportunity, as the listing price was significantly below its true value. She strongly recommended that we make an offer at the listing price immediately, rather than wait for the weekend's open house. The next day, Rebecca strategically communicated with the seller's agent, and our offer was quickly accepted. It turned out to be the right decision—many potential buyers attended the weekend open house and planned to make higher offers, but Rebecca's strategy prevented that. We have now been living in the house for five months. It's very comfortable, the neighborhood is great, and our whole family loves it. We owe it all to Rebecca. I've shared this excellent home-buying experience with many friends and have strongly recommended Rebecca to several people looking to buy a home. She is a top-notch agent who genuinely looks out for her clients, does everything possible to reduce our costs, accurately assesses the market, and strategically ensures that rare opportunities are not missed. Rebecca makes the entire transaction incredibly efficient. Thank you again, Rebecca.

Rong Chen - 99 Lake Shore Rd Unit 3, Brighton MA 02135

Rebecca's expertise in the housing market was evident from our first meeting. She provided a detailed analysis of market, helping us understand the best property to buy. We were impressed by her negotiation skills. Her strategy during the negotiation phase was impressive, as she leveraged her market knowledge to our advantage.

Sourav Ghorai - 27 Westboro Rd, Marlborough MA 01752

We have been working with Rebecca for the past 10+ years, buying and selling 4 properties including our primary residence and investment property. To summarize, Rebecca always has our best interest in her mind no matter if we are the buyer or the seller. Her professionalism at work, her skills with negotiation and her dedication to achieve our best interest in these transactions are phenomenal. We really enjoy working with Rebecca and would recommend her to anyone who would like to buy or sell their property.

Yichao Wu & Song Hu - Zillow

Rebecca is a fantastic agent. Rebecca is well experienced in many types of real estate scenarios and negotiations. Rebecca will always try to accommodate us in property showings and explaining different strategies and advice.

Rebecca has integrity, honesty, and genuine moral principles. She is proud to help her clients make a life changing home purchase and wants her clients to be happy. Rebecca ensures that her client’s best interests are at hand and will fight to get what they deserve while also being realistic. Her personality traits in conjunction with her real estate experience made it quite easy for us to trust her as an agent, and also as a friend. I would always value listening to her advice and perspective with her many years of experiences and knowledge.

I am glad to have a real estate agent on our team who understands our needs, understands our personalities, and works hard to maximize the probability of success.

Rebecca is a very experienced agent who provided valuable suggestions to us during this purchase. She is very patient, and she never pushes us to make any purchase, so that we can go to the open house and give an offer based on our pace, which is very important to us. Highly recommend!

Weipent Hu - Zillow

It was great experience to work with Rebecca! I cannot thank her enough for helping me get such a beautiful and cost effective new house in Waltham. She has a lot of knowledge and knows the realstate business in Great Boston very well. I was planning to buy a house with a budget 100% more than the one I purchased. She listened to my need and suggested the one in Waltham. It ended up the perfect option. Rebecca also goes extra length to help her clients. It is such a pleasure to know Rebecca as my realtor and a dearest friend. I would highly highly recommend Rebecca.

Fantastic, highly recommend

Rebecca answered all our questions in a timely manner, she is always able to, and fast in request showing for houses that we are interested in but not able to make it to the open houses. She gave us professional opinions about each house’s pros and cons and her negotiation skill is exceptional. We got the house we want in the highly competitive Lexington area through a low ball offer! Even the seller’s agent complimented her in front of us(“Your agent represented you well”). Rebecca also recommended home inspectors and lawyers which saved us hundreds of dollars compared to our previous closing with another company.
