We were looking for a home for my parents and wanted them nearby. Duke took the time to meet with us and personally walk us through his listings, going above and beyond every step of the way. It was clear he genuinely cares about his clients and always has their best interests at heart. We found an amazing home that my parents absolutely love, just minutes from our place in Great Park to their new home in Portola Springs. Equity Partners are the real deal. You won’t be disappointed!

We had the best experience working with Duke Nguyen. He was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond what a traditional agent would do. We ended up with our dream home in a fantastic neighborhood for my family while keeping us within our budget. Highly recommend and will work with him again in the future.

We are so happy with Duke and his team for helping us find a new home and for selling our previous place. He listen to our lists of must haves and found our dream house for our family. I highly recommend him and his team. They definitely went the extra mile which is appreciated.

Duke was amazing to work with even though he was the listing agent for our real estate deal. We've been looking for our "forever" home off-and-on for the past 9 years until we found a home in our dream neighborhood that was within the top of our budget. However, we were very skeptical because we've been eyeing this home for past 3 month and noticed a huge price drop. That was our cue to jump in and pounce. I greeted Duke just like any open house visit, however, I immediately came gunning with the big question.... "what's the deal with the big price drop? Are there any dead bodies in here?" LOL. He understood the dark humor and was very honest and forthcoming and explained that there was an buyer at the higher price, but at the last minute, the finances for the buyer fell through, then the house sat for 3 months. Duke explained he even thought the original listing price was a bit too high, but after much deliberation with the owner, decided to re-list at a lower price. Duke gave me a very detailed guided tour, explained all of the EXTENSIVE renovations the original owner put into the 60-year-old home (new plumbing throughout, new main line plumbing, new flooring, foundation repairs, etc.), provided me a detailed list of renovations, copies of receipts, inspections, permits, etc. I explained to Duke that the house is at the very top limit of our budget, Duke told me that if we make a "serious" offer, he would convince the seller to give us a credit to buy down the interest rate. I also explained that our agent isn't very good at customer service, but we only use him because he gives us a large kick-back of his commission. Duke suggested we use "his" guy to represent us, obviously our kick-back would be less, but he'd provide us much much better customer service. Duke explained "his" guy (Stephen Jeong at Keller Williams) is a "super real estate nerd" and would provide us the best customer service. At first, I was skeptical about "seller/buyer" agents working in "cahoots" with each other may not have my best interests in mind. However, Duke laid out the numbers (I'm a CPA and Duke was a former CPA, so he "knows" I want to see the "numbers") of how if we went with him and Stephen, how'd they'd be able to get a greater combined net "benefit" on both the buyer side + seller side than any simple commission kick-back. We took a leap of faith and went with Duke and Stephen. Long story short, Duke and Stephen were the DREAM TEAM. Duke convinced the seller to give us a credit to buy down our rate, he was ON TOP of scheduling inspections and providing status updates on repairs, if we were not satisfied with a repair, Duke had the repair guys make multiple trips until we were completely satisfied, he provided us all of the contacts of the current pool/landscaping/handyman team that have already been servicing the prior home owner so that there would not be any hiccups in service, we were in constant contact every day during escrow. Duke and Stephen were available to answer 1,000+ real estate questions from my wife. Stephen was also clutch, he provided us valuable insight on our plans on building out an ADU and renting out our current condo. With this dynamic duo, we were able to close escrow in only 21 days! After closing, Stephen helped on renting out our current condo, he walked us through our home and pointed out everything that needs touch up and repairs to get the home "renter ready." After spending about 2 weeks touching up our condo, Stephen brought in a professional photographer then listed our condo for rent and was immediately bombarded with potential renters! Even a few week AFTER CLOSING, Duke and Stephen have STILL been available to help us out with little issues here and there on our new home by providing us contact info for their recommended contractors. Duke even found us cheaper movers! At the end of the day, Duke and Stephen treated us like family and are forever grateful for the service they provided.

We had a great experience working with Duke! He was super detail-oriented during the walkthrough and made sure we didn’t miss anything important. He was also really patient with our questions and explained everything clearly, which made the process a lot less overwhelming. He stayed responsive and kept everything moving smoothly the whole time. Overall, very professional and easy to work with—we felt confident having him guide us. Highly recommend Duke if you’re looking for a reliable and thorough realtor!
