Tuan D Tran

Tuan is very knowledgable in his business. His approach to deal with clients is very professional. We connected with him for renting our house and he was very thorough with the process and made the entire experience very smooth. I highly recommend working with Tuan!

Tuan’s motto is «Your Comfort Is My Success!», and that is what you get. He navigates you through the process in a professional and comfortable way.

My wife and I are first time home buyers. Even with our diligence in doing research on our own and being on top of everything we think we possibly could, we weren’t prepared. We weren’t prepared for all the paperwork; inspection report, the offer process, escrow process, home warranty insurance, and the wait for escrow to close. Tuan Tran of Tran, Rullamas & Associates made our buying process stress free. The experience was simply amazing. From the first moment I made the call to Tuan to the day we closed, he was our home buying partner. He never left our side, took our calls, even on weekends to answer even our silliest questions. Even after we got the keys, he provided contact information for locksmith, house cleaner, gardener, and cable/​internet contact.
One of the most important things out of all of this is that Tuan scheduled webex calls with us to go over the inspection and disclosure reports. Partnership!
There are a lot of agents that can help you buy a house. But if you are looking for a partner who has a passion for what he is doing and enjoys sharing his knowledge, I highly recommend Tuan Tran. There is no doubt when we buy again it would be with Tuan.

I interacted with Tuan for a rental property, though i did not rent from him, my experience of the interaction with him was truly amazing. He is a great person to work with and he gave me a lot of good suggestions and guided me in a very nice way.
highly recommend and will go back to him for more help.

Tuan really deserves the 5 star ratings that he gets from almost everyone here on Unilocal and we feel very lucky that we found him through his excellent ratings.
We got in touch with him over the summer as we began looking around the market — simply to explore what’s out there and to get familiar with the different areas and price ranges. Tuan was very accommodating and available for as much or as little as we needed him. He gave us several very valuable tips during our first conversation and set realistic expectations.
As we got more serious about looking at places, he became more engaged too and visited a few houses with us — generally even before the first open house of the listing. He was also very personable and straight-​forward with us and definitely saved us from a couple of disasters. For example, we looked at a large condo with a price that was too good to be true. He took the time to thoroughly examine the HOA documents with us and it turned out that the HOA was severely underfunded and we would’ve had to pay a *lot* of extra money over the following years as almost everything was due for replacement. In another case, for a house where the price again seemed like a pretty good deal, he pointed out all the issues with the house and told us why it’s still overpriced and why we probably shouldn’t go with it which were all very valid.
Finally, when we found a place that we really loved and didn’t have any caveats, he went the extra mile to find out the price of a comparable condo where the escrow hasn’t even closed yet and put together a reasonable offer even before the open house. What’s more, he reached out to the seller’s agent and helped put the seller’s agent on our side too to maximize our chances of the seller actually accepting our offer.
He was also very helpful while we closed the escrow and tried to answer all our questions (as first time home-​buyers, we had a lot of them) and made sure that we were happy with our choices and that we sign the papers with full confidence.
I highly recommend Tuan to anyone who is looking for a realtor in the area and wants honest opinions and doesn’t mind actually having fun in the process. Thanks to him, we now wake up every morning in a home that we love.

I met Tuan through my sister and loved how easygoing and personable he is. We originally wanted to sell our house over a year ago but with a toddler and dogs we weren’t sure how we could even keep our place clean and presentable for prospective buyers. We waited for a whole year and ended up moving into my parents’ so we can start the process. Tuan met us over a year ago and was kind enough to come back out to meet us again cuz we were forrealz this time around.
He gave us lots of advice and was so good at keeping us on our toes throughout the process. He went wayyyyy above and beyond his duties as an agent to help us get our house sold. Our house sold in 6 days, closed in 30 days. We couldn’t be happier! He made sure to keep the buyers n their agent on their toes so things would go smoothly. We cannot ask for a better agent and now he’s tasked with finding us a house.
Tuan is def the best. Look no further!

Tuan is an epitome of professionalism and great work ethics. We are a first time home buyers and we could not have hoped for a much smoother experience than this. We met Tuan in April after reading all the stellar reviews on Unilocal and in just around 2 months we closed the escrow in June.
In our first meeting, Tuan provided us an overview of the entire home buying process. He was very patient in understanding our requirements and provided us valuable feedback. After that we had gone to a few open houses together and finally we decided upon a home where he was also representing the sellers. He was always transparent to both the parties and made sure that the interests of both the parties were addressed. Towards the end, there were some unexpected delays in the loan approval process but he went the extra mile and did the hard work to make sure that transaction goes through despite the issues. Even after the transaction was complete, he helped us with our move in process to make it as painless as possible.
Tuan is a great realtor. He is extremely meticulous in his approach and his attention to detail is astonishing. He is a very ethical person who takes the interests of his clients very seriously. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy/​sell a home.

I never wrote a review on Unilocal before, but I have to do it this time for Tuan because he is the best realtor in the bay area. Buying a home was never an easy process but with Tuan’s help, I actually enjoyed it. I was a first time home buyer started the process in March. During our first meeting, I already learned a lot about the real estate world from Tuan. Tuan walked me through every single step and made the process as smooth as possible. Tuan introduced me to a few loan officers, inspectors, and contractors, and they are the best people out there. Tuan was always available whenever I needed him. With Tuan’s help, I was able to find my dream home in two months and closed within 14 days. I can not thank Tuan enough for everything he has done. If you are looking to buy or sell a house, I strongly recommend you to talk to Tuan first, and I am sure you won’t regret.

If you are looking for a good Realtor, Tuan is the one!
We were first time home buyers and started the process with another Realtor back in mid December 2014. About a month later after going through the process of looking at houses and putting offer on 1 house, it was clear that it was not going to work so we looked for another Realtor and decided to reach out to Tuan.
Within a little more than a month from switching Realtors and working with Tuan, we had submitted 4 offers and got into contract end of February. We closed escrow end of March and now we are proud first time homeowners! Yay!
Tuan not only explained every single step of the process and answered all of our questions but he also helped us set strategies to make our offer more competitive. We learned so much in our first meeting with Tuan than in the whole month that we worked with the previous Realtor and that says a lot about his expertise and ability to work well with buyers!
Here are some of the things we loved about working with Tuan:
* He was accommodating to our schedule
* He showed us houses that we wanted to see and would get us in before open houses when possible
* He answered our call no matter what time of the day
* He followed up constantly and keep us in the loop
* He explained each of the Comparative Market Analysis for the properties we were interested in
* He listened to our concerns and addressed it every single time
Just a little note, out of the 4 offers we put in with Tuan, the last 2 of them he was out on vacation and he was still very much available and we went through the process as normal even though he was many miles away! We got into contract the week he returned from vacation and we got very busy with the rest of the process. :)
All in all he went above and beyond for us and exceeded our expectations.
We trust him and we knew that he worked in our best interest every step of the way. Highly recommend his services!

Just the facts. We had this initial conversation over the phone:
Me: «[…] I’m interested in buying a house that’s a good investment, if possible»
Him: «Ha ha ha. WELL if you wanted to make a good investment, why didn’t you buy a house 2 – 3 years ago???»
DAMN! Thanks for pointing that out! WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF THAT FIRST! I’m going to go out and buy a house 2 – 3 years ago right now! Score for useless, condescending, candid comments!
After asking some further questions (such as my budget, which is small) he asked me to send him my contact information, which I did. It’s been a week; no response. Pretty rude.

As first time home buyers in the Bay area, we were not entirely familiar with the nuances of the housing market. We found Tuan through Unilocal reviews and I must say he is the best realtor I have ever worked with. After working with him, I now realize that all of the previous realtors I have used to buy and sell my house were not really looking out for my best interests.
Tuan is one of the most informed realtors and will give you an honest evaluation of the property you are interested in. His property analysis is very thorough and gives you a very clear picture of the market and comparables. Though his estimates are usually conservative, I sincerely believe that he was looking out for our best interests and trying to ensure that we were not overpaying for the property. He is also extremely patient and at no point did I feel pressured to close a deal. On the contrary, we were the ones who were more aggressive. Tuan was also very efficient in following up with the seller’s agents and keeping us informed throughout the entire process.
I would also like to take this opportunity to heap praise on the contractor that Tuan recommended for our home remodeling, Dong Nguyen. Dong is very efficient, thorough and very knowledgeable about every aspect of home remodeling. He is also very reasonable and I would use him again in a heartbeat.
I would recommend Tuan and Dong without hesitation.

Tuan is the best professional to have in your corner when purchasing a property. He will give you the truth about the property good or bad and go above and beyond to make sure its what you want and check the condition. He has good connections on the finance side and recommended a few different financial institutions to work with and you can decide what works best for you…
I could not be happier with the service I received from Tuan, He was positive and worked with me as we looked for a home that would fit my needs and i am happy to say i am in my new home for the holidays thanks to Tuan…

Having used Tran to sell our San Jose House, we contacted him for the sale of our Fremont house in 2014. Tran once again handled everything, and we ended up selling our home in three days. Through the entire prep, staging and escrow process, Tran kept us thoroughly informed. I would recommend Tran without hesitation.

I cannot thank Tuan enough for all that he has done, and all that he is continuing to do for me and my family even after we’ve gotten our keys!
I met Tuan at the beginning of June 2014 to discuss the purchase of my first home. I had no idea what I was doing, or even what I really wanted. My first meeting with Tuan he came prepared to give me a complete and thorough overview of the whole house hunting and buying process, and what I can expect from him as my realtor. I was so impressed I did not hesitate to ask him right then to represent me. Our search was long, and Tuan was very patient.
Tuan was strategic and prepared for every step of the way. He recommended multiple lenders and made personal calls to ensure I was well taken care of. He also made sure I was financially set before I looked at houses to make sure I was not wasting time.
He never pressured us despite the fact that it wasn’t until September when I finally found a few homes worth looking into. Tuan’s expertise was very obvious when I walked through the potential homes with him. He was very observant, and noticed everything about the house down to the smallest details and pointed it out to us. His research of the home was very thorough. He made sure I knew everything about the house and the current market in the area I was buying so that I can make an informed decision.
I went into contract mid September. I’ve always been told it would be a very stressful process, but with Tuan’s guidance it seemed like a cakewalk. The sellers we dealt with were extremely difficult, but Tuan always made sure to resolve any issues quickly before updating me so that I didn’t stress out. He always had a solution. Despite knowing how high I was willing to offer, Tuan really fought for us during negotiations and made sure I paid the best price. I’m so grateful that at the end of the day Tuan always had my best interest at heart and not how big his cut was going to be. I ended up paying roughly $ 50K below asking price!
We closed early October, and Tuan has been nothing but helpful and available even after I got my keys. He even met up with my carpet installer for me to help get an estimate while I was at work because I needed the carpet changed right away but was not available until the week after. Even as I’m writing this review he is working to get me the best bid for a home fumigation. Once you’re a client of Tuan’s he will always be there for you.
Throughout the whole process Tuan was always available and quick to respond to my msgs, emails, and phonecalls. He was busy with other clients, but never made me feel like I was any less important. His commitment surpassed what I expected, and he definitely earned my trust and loyalty as a customer for life!

Tuan was very helpful with selling our first home. We have never gone through the process of selling and so we had several questions about procedure and strategy to get the best outcome. He was very thorough with his explanations and ultimately, we were thrilled with the result.
Tuan delivered the «full service» of project managing renovations, coordinating with contractors and related parties, and rolling up his sleeves to do whatever he can to help. He was extremely responsive and a pleasure to work with. Keep up the good work.

Simply awesome. Goes beyond the call of duty. Picked up my mom from the airport and took her to view houses. Dealt with my mother-​in-​law, who can be critical and difficult. Helped us find and purchase a house in San Carlos (we beat out an all cash offer)

I cannot say enough about how amazing, truly dedicated, and highly professional Realtor Tuan Tran is. I have been working with Tuan for over 10 years and he has helped me sell 2 homes and purchase one, and we are continuing our search for a new home with his help. I trust Tuan with my real estate purchases/​selling because of his insights and knowledge in his field of business. He is thoughtful when planning your sell or purchase, provides all the information you need or maybe have not thought you would need, and comes with a plan of action in ordered to not waste any time. However, he still leaves it up to you to decide when you are ready to take action and will be there right by your side to guide you through what is needed to sell or buy your home.
His willingness to go above and beyond to prove his motto «Your comfort is my success,» rings true. Hiring Tuan as my Realtor had been a blessing and there is no one else I would trust more than Tuan when buying or selling my home.

We have been using Tuan for many years and have been very fortunate to have him as our agent. To date, we have bought one house and sold two through him. This number will be growing as he’s helping us search for our next house.
Our most recent transaction with Tuan was to sell our last house. He could not have made the entire process any easier for us. He came to our house and gave us suggestions on what we should do as far as prepping the house for sell that he believed would attract more buyers and to get top dollar. He was not pushy on any of his recommendations and made it clear that it was only his professional opinion. We decided to do as he suggested and asked him for recommendations of service providers, he gave us a list of names, contacted them, negotiated pricing and got quotes for us. All we had to do was agree and he did the rest! Fortunately for us, we listened… We were given multiple offers on the first day we accepted offers. We made 50k over what we initially believed we could get. Thank you Tuan!
Every time we have used him, he has made the process stress free. He is very hands on and always checking in to give us the latest updates and explain what the next steps are and what to expect. Seeing how he interacts with the other agents, I can see that he truly cares about us and is looking out for our best interest.
I have recommended him to everyone and have family who left their agents to work with Tuan. He has helped all three of my siblings and my uncle buy their homes from as far north as Mountain House all the way down to Socal and all have been very happy with his services. Destination is not an issue with Tuan. He has also helped countless friends of mine in buying and selling. If you’re reading this review, stop now and give him a call!

Where do I possibly start. Maybe by saying that Tuan is THE best in the biz! Honestly, I can’t possibly think of anything more we could have asked of him. Let me start from the top…
From the moment we were introduced to Tuan, he was nothing but the most patient, informative, and caring individual my wife and I have ever had the pleasure of working with. We are first time home buyers and though rather daunting, Tuan made the entire process seem like a cinch! We had questions? He had informative, extremely detailed answers. He would consistently go above and beyond.
The first home we had looked at, Tuan gave us an entire run down of what to look out for — things that we never would have known about or thought to look for. He taught us about different types of roofs, floors, cement in the driveway, grass vs turf, etc etc etc! The list goes on and on. The thing is, he didn’t have to do any of this for us… but he did. He educated us to the point where, moving forward, we would know every tiny little detail of what to watch out for.
Finally, once we had settled on the home that we wanted, he patiently worked with us throughout the entire process. Everything from placing a winning bid, to his excellent connections at multiple lenders (who he then challenged to get us the best rate!), to tying out items with the previous owner, to going over all of the closing documentation with us. Tuan was there with us every step of the way. He made the ENTIRE home buying process a breeze. The amount of care and attention he gave to us is unrivaled. Always available through text, email and phone — extremely responsive. Just look at the other raving reviews… they’re all extremely accurate. His motto is «Your comfort is my success.» I can tell you he succeeded in spades.
Through it all, my wife and I. we don’t think of Tuan as just our agent. he became our trusted friend. He changed our lives! We couldn’t be happier and we owe it all to Tuan.
Honestly, if you’re looking for the most comfortable, informative, accurate, and overall BEST home buying experience, look no further. You’ve already found him. His name is Tuan D. Tran of TRArealty.

We were very blessed to have been referred to Tuan from a friend. Tuan took the time to really work with us to find our perfect home! As first time buyers, we were new to the whole process and very nervous about everything. We had many questions and Tuan stood by our side the whole way to make sure everything was easy as possible for us. He took the time to be readily available at all times to accommodate us the entire way.
It took us 3 months to find our home and we couldn’t imagine the process being any smoother. Tuan was more like a friend than an agent. He was our advocate and made sure we received the best services. He never pushed or persuaded us in any way and let us make our decisions while giving us facts and information on each home telling us his honest opinions. Tuan pointed out flaws in homes that we were not able to see with our own eyes, he pointed out cracks in the foundation and warned us about heavy traffic areas. We appreciated all of his tips and information since we are still new to San Jose.
Even now that we are settled into our home, Tuan is still helpful with suggestions and referrals for all our home needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Tuan to anyone looking to buy a home.
