Why Los Altos sellers and buyers hire Alex Wang
Los Altos is home. I live here with my kids, serve on the Los Altos Educational Foundation board and the Los Altos History Museum board, and run Rainmaker Real Estate from our Peninsula HQ on San Antonio Road.
That local grounding matters when you’re pricing a listing, reading buyer demand on a specific street, or deciding how hard to push in a multiple-offer situation. I’ve been in Silicon Valley real estate since 2002, founded Rainmaker, and work in English or Mandarin (中文) — whichever you’re more comfortable with.

— Amy | Los AltosHow I work with Los Altos clients
For sellers
Pricing strategy built for this market, prep and staging guidance (including trusted vendors when a home needs a lift), marketing that goes beyond the portals, and negotiation aimed at the highest net with less stress. My obsession is simple: get you the absolute highest selling price possible, with no headache and no upfront costs for you.
For buyers
Off-market awareness, clear guidance in competitive offers, and patient coaching — especially if you’re buying in tech and want a digital-friendly process. Negotiation is a core skill: UC Berkeley Cognitive Science background, Stanford GSB Influence & Negotiation Strategies, and decades of Bay Area deals.
