Lydia Chen has an incredible amount of knowledge about the Monmouth County real estate market. Her experience goes far beyond simply showing homes and negotiating a price.
She understands construction, renovations, structural and mechanical issues, inspections, permits, maintenance, and the true cost and practicality of improving a home. She notices things that most buyers would easily miss and helps you understand not only what a house offers today, but also what it may need in the years ahead.
Lydia is also extremely ethical and takes real pride in helping her clients make the right decision. She is honest, practical, and never makes you feel pressured. She considers everything that matters, including the condition of the home, the neighborhood, schools, commute, renovation potential, future expenses, resale value, and the budget that makes sense for your life.
What makes Lydia truly special is that she does not treat buying a home as just another transaction. She takes the time to understand your family, your current needs, and your future plans. She explains the advantages and disadvantages clearly, prepares you for what to expect, and helps you feel confident about every decision.
Words cannot fully express how much I appreciate her knowledge, honesty, patience, and genuine care. She is the kind of person you hope to have beside you when making one of the most important decisions of your life.
Words cannot express how grateful we are to Lydia in helping us sell our home. She was very attentive, always took our calls promptly, and helped us to get multiple above asking offers. She also went above and beyond in getting our house ready prior to listing and offering assistance all the way till the close date. She is kind, easy to work with, very professional, and extremely trustworthy. We always felt we were in the best hands with her, and we would recommend her services to anyone!
Choosing Lydia is the best decision we made when we try to find our dream home, she is always very patient, kind, honest, and has extremely professional knowledge of every detail that you need to know. You can trust her not only as a real estate agent but as a good old friend who always stays by your side and helps you made good decisions.
We closed on our new home in Dec 2020 and this review is overdue. Years ago Lydia helped our friends find their home in the same area we just bought our house at and Lydia came highly recommended from friends. We are very happy with Lydia. She is efficient, knowledgeable, a pleasure to work with, an amazing agent, professional and helpful. She was very patient with us. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again in the future! Thank you Lydia for the time, effort, input and professionalism in helping us get this home.

Lydia is very professional and helpful!She did a good job to know our need,and found all houses matching our need,and spent a lot of time taking us to tour in houses and giving us so many great suggestions. Finally,due to Lydia‘s good reputation and hard work,we family found and bought our dreaming house. So appreciate her effort!
Lydia is very knowledgeable about not only the house but also the surrounding area.
She is very patience and considerate. As first time home buyers, we learnt a lot from her and she is always there to help.
Highly recommended.
Just FYI: as a director to the UBS Financial Services, I have performed hundreds of interviews. When the time came, my wife Tatyana and I planned to interview a number of real-estate agents. Lydia Chen was the first in the list...
And, it was the final interview as we both agreed that we liked Lydia very much for her professionalism, attitude (I loved it!), knowledge, and 100% transparency.
We are proud now of ourselves - our first impression was absolutely correct! There was no moment when we had any doubt about what, how, and why Lydia was doing. She walked us through a complicated business of selling the house in such a professional, timely, polite, friendly, sometimes funny, and always efficient and effective way, that I am telling you: if you need to to do the same, call Lydia now, and your house would be most likely sold out in no time, no efforts, and in your bets interests, - if you trust her on 100% and follow her perfect and always positive assessments and advises. Thank you Lydia for one of the best experiences in our life!
Lydia is very persistent and has great negotiation skills. She pays attentions to details. We sold our house through her and bought a house through her as well. Small details:
- We scheduled to see a house but there was a snow storm. She didn't cancel the showing and arrived on time.
- When we were selling our house, attorney review didn't go through at the beginning but she got the buyer back again and we sold the house to that buyer.
- When she showed us houses to buy, she always provided some information we didn't know of.
- She never pushes us to make an offer. On the contrary, she listed all the things she had concerns and let us think through.
We'll definitely recommend her to anyone we know who will sell/buy a house.
