Client Testimonials
“I recently completed the sale of a multi-tenant property with the help of Eric Chen and his team at CBRE, Investment Properties/Multifamily. I could not have been more pleased with the ease of the transaction and their professionalism. Eric Chen met with me personally and walked me through the expectations of the transaction. After meeting with Eric, I fully understood the market pro's and con's before deciding to list my property. Once the property was listed, Eric and his team marketed the property aggressively, setting up a visitation date with multiple buyers. We closed within 30 days on a full cash offer at our asking price. If you are a seller or buyer of Multi-Family Properties in Southern California, I would highly encourage you to utilize the expertise of Eric Chen and his team at CBRE. You will not be disappointed!”
Chris MacArthur,
“Eric Chen and his team at CBRE provided a very high level of service. With the utmost professionalism, he quickly found a qualified buyer for our apt complex and helped close the transaction as promised. We would not hesitate to use Eric and his team again.”
Chris Kwasizur,
"It is a pleasure to write this recommendation for Eric Chen with CBRE, since I have worked with him for the past 5 years. From start to finish, Eric has consistently demonstrated loyalty to his clients as well as trust worthy information which reflects his experience in the industry and his attention to detail. Additionally, he possesses an infectious “can do” attitude and a genuine importance to earn a long term relationship with his clients. With that said, I highly recommend Eric to be your CRE Broker!"
Marco Arcadia, Vice President - Relationship Manager
Community Bank
"Eric is a highly motivated individual that I have closed several exchanges with in the last 12 months. His work ethic is second to none. He is quickly becoming one of the largest producing agents in his market. If you are selling an investment property in the San Gabriel Valley he should be at the top of your list."
Greg Burns, Senior Vice President
Investment Property Exchange Service, Inc.
“We were very pleased that you were able to get the price that we were hoping for when other brokers told us that they felt we might be reaching for a price that was unachievable. Your lending connections made the financing process flow smoothly and you’re getting the appraiser comfortable with the value even when there were very few comparables available. Your positive attitude as well as your professionalism has been greatly appreciated. Your attention to detail and follow through made this extremely easy on our end."
Dean Washle, Managing Director
Newmark Grubb Knight Frank
“Eric is amazing. He stepped in to handle the marketing and sale of an apartment building in Covina that was the subject of litigation. He was able to handle the opposing parties who co-owned the property with grace and patience. He sold the property quickly and at a great price. His professionalism is beyond compare. I highly recommend him.”
Tom P. Davis, Principal
Davis Law
“We encountered several unforeseen issues during the closing process, which normally would have jeopardized the entire transaction. However, even under pressure, Eric manifested exceptional professionalism, problem solving skills, tenacity, and most importantly, strong sense of responsibility to serve his client that enabled us to successfully close the deal in the end. He is a first rate real estate agent, and as his client and his friend, I enthusiastically recommend his services to anyone.”
Yuseke Takahashi,
"My wife and I have known Eric for many years. He has guided us through multiple transactions, both as sellers and buyers. We have found him to be scrupulously honest, patient, always accessible, cheerful and very smart. He even follows our progress after we’ve made a purchase! I have interacted with dozens of realtors over the years but to say Eric is one in a million is an understatement."
Phil Reeves,
“Their team quickly identified the most appropriate buyer and managed the transaction to a timely and successful closing. The team demonstrated professionalism throughout the process from initial property analysis and presentation through execution of the sale. Their transparent communication style also made the process easy for CT and its partners."
J. C. “Watty” Watson, Chief Executive Officer
CT Realty
“Thank you for assisting us for this sale. The handling of this sale from marketing to closing, seamless! You will be the go to person for our real estate needs in the future. Thanks again for your help. It’s professional all the way!”
Herbert and Shirley Chan,
“Your team's service is the best I ever had in all of my real estate transactions. This is a clear indication of what kind of a leader Eric Chen is, outstanding."
Santigual Filemon,
"We approached Eric Chen to assist us in selling an asset located in a tertiary market after working with 3 other retail specialist brokers that had failed to achieve the price that our investors required. Eric and his team quickly put together a detailed, targeted, strategic plan that leveraged their deep client base and experience in handling CMBS loan assumptions to deliver the price we needed in a short amount of time. His team was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Bottom line: Eric and his team deliver results and I would not hesitate to use them again for future deals."
David N Fong, Esquire
"We are very pleased to have closed escrow on a sale with Eric and want to thank you for effectively marketing the property and managing the transaction from start to finish. We appreciate your high level of professionalism and personal service with this deal and are looking forward to the next one."

Jason Mak, President
Fairview Ventures
"I highly recommend Eric Chen and his team at CBRE to anyone looking to buy or sell multifamily housing. I just closed my 3rd transaction with Eric and team, and I am confident that there will be many, many more to come. Eric’s team is highly knowledgeable, very organized, and incredibly responsive. They guided me through my first deal with ease and were able to explain and solve any and all issues that came up along the way. His team is very proactive about giving updates and making sure that the entire process is transparent and smooth. I have enjoyed working with the team and look forward to working with them even more in the future."
Grant Lin, Managing Director
NLZ Capital, LLC
"Your strategy for selling the apartments was excellent and I can’t say enough about how I appreciated your expertise with commercial real estate and understanding the buyers for that market. An all cash sale with no contingencies and a quick close at 10k over list – we couldn’t have asked for more! I will definitely recommend you to others. All the best to you!”
