We are proud of our 3 board members for attending the 2026 AREAA Policy Summit in Washington DC. Thank you to our President Francis, Vice President Eric and Board Director Justin for representing AREAA SV as they advocated AREAAβs 3 Point Policy
1. Language Access
2. Housing Supply
3. Maintaining Access to Homeownership for AANHPI
They worked with our chapters across the state and nation, particularly with our @areaa_sf_pen and @areaageb in speaking with our local representatives.
We look forward to continuing to support homeownership and generational wealth building opportunities for our AANHPI communities locally and nationally.

πΈ Our AREAASV Spring Mixer was one for the books!
π₯ We brought together 50 real estate professionals at VBAR inside the @hotelvalenciasj at @santanarow for an evening of networking, connection, community, and meaningful conversations. We were thrilled to have several attendees officially join @areaasv during the mixer! π
π Thank you to everyone who came out, supported the event, and helped make the night such a success. Weβre excited to continue growing the real estate community as a team!

Great time last night, power networking at the @areaasv Spring Mixer. Special shout out to my Divas who traveled all the way up from San Benito County for the occasion @realtor_brendalopez@realtormarbellavillarreal and team! Next stop @nhorasantaclara Casino Night on May 14th! Letβs grow together.
Your network is your net worth, but itβs more about quality than quantity.
Itβs not about exploiting contacts for favorsβitβs about creating genuine relationships where you support each other.
For example, if you need a contractor, a friend in your network is more likely to help because youβve invested in the relationship over time.
Networking is really just relationship-building with mutual benefit, not a one-way street.

Getting into real estate isnβt about luck, itβs about effort and strategy.
This conversation breaks down why slow markets are actually a great time to start, why closings matter more than leads, and how Airbnb can create real cash flow.
If youβve ever wondered how people juggle a full-time job, real estate, and short-term rentals, this episode gives real context, real stories, and zero fluff.

π I'm the @areaasv 2025 Member of the Year!
The other day I had lunch with my dear friend @mrjacklin of First American Title. He said to me, "This is a big deal. You were selected out of 500+ members."
As an Asian investor and entrepreneur, I joined @areaasv looking for community and what I found was so much more. Brilliant, warm, hard-working and smart-working people who welcome everyone with open arms. I've had the privilege of working alongside @phoenix.chiang on events and community building. This award belongs as much to her and the AREAA community as it does to me.
Huge shoutout to every @areaasv member and award recipient. We all make this association what it is.
For those who don't know, I'm a real estate investor and property manager; investing has transformed my life for the best.
Whether you're looking to buy, sell, or just figure out where to start, my DMs are open.
I'm multilingual (English, Vietnamese, Japanese) and I specialize in Bay Area & Sacramento areas. π‘
