Agent Directory
San Francisco, California

Buying or selling a San Francisco home is a family decision for many Chinese-speaking households. Parents may want the disclosures explained in Cantonese. A grandparent may be most at ease in Mandarin. The adult children often handle the English paperwork. This directory lists agents and advisors who say, on their own public profiles, that they work in Cantonese, Mandarin or both.

How We Built This Directory

We started with a list of San Francisco agents who serve Chinese-speaking clients, then opened each agent's public pages. An agent stayed on the list when three things held up.

🗣️

Language on the Record

The agent's site, brokerage page or MLS profile names Cantonese, Mandarin or both. Agents whose profiles don't list a language weren't included.

📍

San Francisco Work

Each agent lists San Francisco, or the nearby Peninsula cities many San Francisco families move between, as part of their market.

Cantonese or Mandarin? Match the Agent to Your Family

Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin) is one of three threshold languages under San Francisco's Language Access Ordinance. A language earns that status once the city counts 10,000 residents with limited English proficiency who speak it, per the City's language diversity data. In practice, that means many households here hold real estate talks in more than one language. Before you pick an agent, decide who in the family will sign, who will ask questions, and which language each person prefers. Then confirm the agent can speak and read that language, not just greet you in it.

Before You Call: A Short Checklist

  • Ask which language the agent will use for disclosures, inspections and offers.
  • Ask for three recent sales near your street, with addresses.
  • Ask who on the team handles your file day to day.
  • Ask how they'll keep relatives in another city or country up to date.
  • Read reviews on more than one site, since an agent's reviews are often split across Zillow, Yelp and Google.

Questions About This Directory

Can an agent work with my parents in Cantonese while I handle the English paperwork?

Yes. Several agents here work in both languages. Samantha Huang, for one, often works with families where the parents speak Cantonese or Mandarin and the adult children speak English.
