Why we recommend Andy Tse for San Jose

San Jose is a big city with very different price levels. Redfin's figures for the three months to September 2026 put the citywide median sale price at $1,349,357, but the median was $2,474,273 in 95129 on the Cupertino side and $734,284 in downtown 95110. An agent who regularly prices homes at the top of that range, and who also knows the older central neighborhoods, is useful to both buyers and sellers here.

Andy Tse's team lists San Jose, Willow Glen, Campbell, Cupertino, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale and Saratoga among the areas it serves, and his website shows a recent San Jose sale on Lancer Drive in August 2026. His team's scale is the other reason: RealTrends ranks the group among the largest teams in the country by volume. This is our recommendation, not a ranking of every agent in San Jose. Interview more than one agent before you sign anything.

About Andy Tse

Andy Tse's license and broker record

The California Department of Real Estate (DRE) public lookup lists Andrew Chee-Yang Sachio Tse, license 01345580, as a licensed real estate broker. His salesperson license was issued on July 25, 2002 and his broker license on August 10, 2004, and the current license runs to August 9, 2028. The record shows no disciplinary action. He is listed as a broker associate for Intero Real Estate Services Inc (license 01354442), and his main office is at 12988B Saratoga Sunnyvale Road in Saratoga.

Tse Group Real Estate: the team behind Andy Tse

His website describes him as the founder and managing broker of the Tse Group and a Saratoga native. It lists 21 agents on the team and says team members speak more than ten languages, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Japanese, Hindi, Vietnamese, Farsi, Russian, French and Dutch as well as English. Services listed include selling, buying, home valuations, and land and lot splits, including 1031 exchanges.

Areas Andy Tse works around San Jose

Beyond San Jose and Willow Glen, the team's site names Saratoga, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Cupertino, Campbell, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Los Altos, Santa Clara and the Santa Cruz Mountains. He lists San Jose, Cupertino, Los Gatos and Saratoga as his main places. For a San Jose buyer, that means the team also sees the comparable sales just over the city line, which matters in ZIPs such as 95129 and 95130 that border Cupertino and Saratoga.

Andy Tse's record: sales and reviews

Andy Tse's 2025 team production on RealTrends

RealTrends, which verifies agent and team production, lists Tse Group with $763.50 million in volume and 294.1 transaction sides based on 2025 sales data, with an average home price of $2.60 million. That ranks the team third in the United States by volume among large teams and second in California, and first in California by sides. The brokerage shown is Intero Real Estate Services.

Career figures from Andy Tse's own records

The agent's own figures give 23 years in the business, more than 2,700 transactions, more than $5 billion in sales, 600 five-star reviews and an average sale price of 106.21% of the original list price. His website states that the Tse Group has closed more than $5 billion in Bay Area transactions since 2020. We could not confirm the career totals or the 106.21% figure on an independent page, so treat them as the team's own numbers.

What San Jose-area clients say about Andy Tse

A Zillow review from Hilary G. reads in part: "We are incredibly grateful for the care, professionalism, and dedication Sunny and Andy Tse showed while helping sell my parents’ home" and describes it as "a place filled with more than 50 years of memories." A Google review from Umesh B. says: "His strategic approach to pricing generated tremendous interest right away, and we had an offer in just one day."

How Andy Tse works with San Jose buyers and sellers

For sellers, his website and reviews describe a hands-on preparation phase before listing, then pricing aimed at drawing early offers. One reviewer, Lori K., credits the team with helping sell a family home of more than 65 years. Owners selling a long-held San Jose home should plan for the tax side; our capital gains guide and Prop 19 guide cover the tax side.

For buyers, ask him how the team decides which agent handles your search, and how many San Jose purchases the team closed in the past year in your target ZIP. The team's site also covers land and lot splits, relevant if you are weighing an ADU or a split on a large San Jose lot; see our California ADU rules guide.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Best Real Estate Agent in San Jose, CA,

On San Jose's three-month median of $1,349,357, each 1% equals about $13,494. Ask every agent what their fee covers, then compare.

Yes. His website lists buying, selling, home valuations and land and lot splits among the team's services. Most of the reviews we read are from sellers, so if you are buying, ask how many San Jose purchases the team closed in the past year and which team member would run your search day to day.
