Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make. My goal is to help you make that decision with confidence by providing honest guidance, strong negotiation, and the experience to navigate every step of the process.
For more than 18 years, I've helped buyers, sellers, investors, and families throughout the San Francisco East Bay achieve their real estate goals. As a lifelong East Bay resident and REALTOR® with eXp Realty of California, Inc., I bring extensive local market knowledge, strategic insight, and a client-first approach to every transaction. My philosophy is simple: Helping people make great decisions.
Before beginning my real estate career, I spent nearly 15 years building, operating, and successfully selling my own businesses in the Bay Area. That entrepreneurial background taught me the value of hard work, creative problem-solving, and skilled negotiation—qualities that continue to benefit my clients today.
I believe every client deserves personalized service because every real estate journey is unique. Whether you're purchasing your first home, downsizing, investing, relocating, or selling a longtime family property, I'm committed to making the process as smooth, informed, and successful as possible.
"Elizabeth did a wonderful job helping me purchase my first home. She listens well; as we visited the properties, we talked about the positives and negatives, and that helps her get a clear picture of my ideal home. When she saw my future home, she knew it was for me, and her jubilance came across clear when she told me about it. I’m still smiling as I remember that phone call. Elizabeth worked extremely fast in preparing the offer and presenting it to the sellers. If it weren’t for her pro-activeness, we would have lost the property as other offers came in after the sellers accepted mine. In this competitive market, I learned to appreciate Elizabeth’s advice and experience. She genuinely has her client’s best interest at heart and is passionate about her profession."

"From the moment I met Elizabeth Lee, I had the feeling I did not need to worry about my real estate transaction if she was involved. Her participation had a lot to do with my wanting to work with her clients. Not only is she efficient and knowledgeable, she has the one quality I value the most. She is a great, thorough communicator. This was very reassuring during the stressful period when my house was first in escrow. She goes the extra mile. She comes up with a calendar, and then she assists in every step toward a successful and enjoyable close. I highly recommend her."

"I feel so fortunate to have found such a caring, professional, and determined partner to assist me in the home buying process. Not only did Elizabeth assist me in finding the perfect home to fit my needs but she made sure (through her extensive research and due diligence) that my offer was in the right place. From the get go, I felt well represented and safe in any type of situation. Elizabeth Lee is not just a Realtor, she is a phenomenal person and friend. I would (and will) definitely be utilizing her real estate expertise in the future and encourage anyone in need of professional real estate services to put their trust in her. She is simply the best!"

"As an architect, I have strong opinions regarding architecture/space. When we met Elizabeth Lee, I quickly had a good feeling that she would put in the effort to understand what we were looking for. She explained the process upfront. She listened and didn’t hesitate to give her feedback. Elizabeth has years of experience selling and buying houses that knowledge was very helpful, good communication and social skills are her strength, she makes the process look easy and smooth. As soon as we found the house we liked, she went on the mission to get it for us; she submitted the offer package on the same day by midnight. Once she got the deal secured, she explained the next steps, keeping in touch with us several times a day. We’re very thankful to have had her as our agent and are very excited to begin the next chapter of our life in our new house. "
Nicolas and Sandrine
"We knew we could always depend on her to give us accurate and complete information, as well as keep trying until it worked. Elizabeth Lee is very level-headed, has great composure against the unknowns and is comfortable with challenges. Her great sense of humor paired with her dedication make her a pleasure to work with."
Basak and Andy Adams
"I work for an international corporation, and I have relocated homes every 3 years. As I was conducting my home search from another country, Elizabeth Lee provided sound guidance and great support throughout the entire process. She is extremely friendly, very knowledgeable about the Tri-Valley area, and always available to communicate. What differentiates Elizabeth from other Realtors is her over-and above customer service mentality. Even though she manages numerous clients concurrently, I feel that she always puts emphasis on addressing every question or concern that I raise. She masterfully fielded inquiries about school districts, developer build quality, neighborhood demographics, market trends, and even traffic patterns."
Allan Chang
"In selling a home in today’s real estate market, it not only takes a Realtor who has the smarts and experience to do the routine things properly, it takes one that understands people. Our Realtor, Elizabeth Lee, who gave us 150% of that kind of expertise was able find us a buyer in two weeks and worked tirelessly to ensure that the closing was completed on time. She helped stage our home for sale, plan moving strategies, hire
consultants, and even helped us move our belonging. She was a miracle worker for us and we love her."
Jeff Aoki and Sandy Wong
"I am writing to express my pleasure with real estate agent Elizabeth Lee who represented me in my recent purchase of a single-family home in Castro Valley.
Elizabeth was the first Realtor to respond to my inquiries for my search and was extremely adept in finding the right home for me. She has great attention to detail, has incredible knowledge of the East Bay homes and schools and history of sales in the area. She was consistently positive while expertly guiding me through the entire process, from searching for houses to making the offer and closing the deal. I credit Elizabeth Lee with a smooth, stress-free home-buying experience.
I have never had such a pleasurable experience. Elizabeth Lee is savvy, personable, kind, super friendly and approachable at all times of day and knows the market inside and out.
To reiterate, I am very thrilled to have worked with Elizabeth and recommend her to everyone."
