Meet Xia
When growing up in China, Xia Zhao’s passion for real estate and client care blossomed at a young age through her family’s general contracting business. She spent lots of time watching how her father’s business took excellent care of their customers, and enjoyed browsing floor plans and playing with wood blocks and small tools.
Before becoming a real estate broker in 2016, Xia worked at Microsoft for years as a Program Manager. This prior experience gave her a strong base in communication skills and established best practices in work that help her provide unparalleled client service.
An award-winning broker at her firm John L. Scott Real Estate, Xia provides top-notch service to clients from diverse backgrounds, and is fluent in both Chinese and English. She often helps buyers and sellers in King County and south of Snohomish County, in cities including Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Sammamish, Issaquah, Bothell, Kenmore and Woodinville.
For sellers, Xia leverages John L. Scott marketing tools, including Market Ready, Day One™ and the JLS Listing Launch Process. She also applies her own promotional package for her sellers to maximize exposure and get the home sold at the best price.
Xia works with buyers looking for primary homes and also investment properties. She customizes the searching criteria and negotiation strategies for each buyer, providing a truly customized experience.
Xia is dedicated to transactional excellence for every listing and sale. This means she oversees every detail of the real estate transaction, and is fully committed to her clients before, during and after a sale. The transaction is far from over once an offer has been accepted. Xia monitors inspections, appraisals, title, escrow and loan processes. Her communication and collaboration with all parties involved with the transaction ensures a smooth and timely closing.
Continual professional development is important to Xia, who sharpens her professional skills through classes and obtaining designations such as MCNE®, Certified Luxury Home Specialist®, and more.
When she’s not working, Xia can be found reading, cooking, singing in the Kirkland-based Carillon Chamber Choir, or spending time with family and friends.
Xia’s family culture is centered around honesty, loyalty, commitment, care and gratitude. She applies these values as her principles that guide her life and how she works with her real estate clients. Xia values and appreciates the opportunity to guide her clients through what’s likely to be one of their most important life events.
Bellevue
Bellevue is the third largest city in the Seattle metro area, and it’s the hub of the Eastside, but it’s close to the Cascade mountains for hiking, mountain biking, and, in the winter, skiing and snowboarding. Locals also take advantage of Lake Washington for boating, kayaking or watching the sun set over Seattle and the Olympics to the west. Bellevue’s thriving downtown offers five-star dining, a world-class art museum, and some of the best shopping in the Northwest. The entrepreneurial spirit of the city and its highly educated work force make it a natural home for tech start-ups as well as global corporations. Our schools are rated among the best in the nation. This means even residents without children enjoy healthy property values. And there is a home here for everyone. Townhouses and condos downtown, luxury waterfront properties on the Lake, and areas with a more neighborhood feel are all available in our robust real estate market.
Reviews
Xia helped me purchase my first investment property. It's a crazy, fast market, and it was less than three weeks from when I first toured the house to closing. She is really dedicated, communicative, and put my interest first. She also offered great market insights and provided rough estimations of ROI for properties I was considering. I really appreciated her knowledge and opinions when making my decision, as it helped me consider things from all angles. I would highly recommend working with her!
I had one of the most technically challenging sales for Xia.
- I am physically remote outside of the country in a different time zone
- My house went through a huge repair and thanks to Xia who recommended me a contractor who was reliable. Xia even helped me to keep tap on the progress of the renovation before I decided firmly that I would sell the house.
- My house had a legal binding with local public service that Xia recommended me an attorney to get that risk gauged.
- My first buying bailed out after a month long extension and Xia was able to immediately get my backup offer in because of her thorough preparation on the deal before.
All I can say is without Xia, I would have a lot of sleepless nights worrying about how things are and what should I do. Even working remotely, Xia was able to help me get a lot of issues solved timely and hassle free. It's not just about getting the documents done, it's a whole 6 months of preparation and hard work. At the end, it's because all the hard work and preparation that I sold my house at ~ 20% above our listed price. I can't say for more how much I thank Xia for selling this house for me.
She is pretty sharp, reliable, and efficient. She has a wide knowledge of anything about buying a suitable home. Especially, if you are the first-time buyer, you will learn everything you need from her in a short time. On top of that, whenever you need, she could provide you a reliable resources in time.
