Selling a Home in the Stanford Circle
Selling a significant home is not about maximum exposure. It's about reaching the right buyers.
I am Fang Yuan, a bilingual real estate advisor with Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty in Los Altos. I help homeowners in Palo Alto, Atherton, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Menlo Park, Woodside, and Portola Valley sell with a clear plan and full personal attention.
Moving on from a longtime home
The garden is more work than it used to be, and the house is bigger than you need. A decision this big deserves an unhurried plan: when to sell, what to prepare, and where you will go next.
Selling a parent's home through a trust
Often one sibling becomes the trustee, sometimes from another state or another country. I work alongside your trust attorney and CPA, take care of the house on the ground, and keep every family member informed in writing, in English or Chinese.

The Two-Market Listing Method
Every home I list is presented to two markets at the same time:
- English-speaking buyers, through the Sotheby's International Realty global network
- Chinese-speaking buyers, through my agent network and 小红书 (RED) and 微信公众号 (WeChat), with your home's story written fresh in Chinese
How I work with you
1. Listen first. Your family, your timing, and what matters most.
2. Take the weight off. I plan the preparation and line up trusted people.
3. Tell your home's story twice. In English, and written fresh in Chinese.
4. Reach both markets. The global network and Chinese-speaking buyers.
5. Guide it home. Clear updates and calm, careful negotiation.
Let's talk
Curious what your home is worth? Start with a home value estimate. Questions about taxes or the trust belong with your CPA and attorney, and I am glad to work alongside them.
Call or text (650) 547-1368, email f.yuan@ggsir.com, or send me a message. A first conversation is quiet, private, and without pressure.
