Hi, I’m Sally Mao,
a dedicated RE/MAX real estate agent based in Southern California.
Before becoming a Realtor, my life took two very different paths. I worked as a technical specialist for a Global Fortune 500 company, where I developed a strong analytical mindset and a data-driven approach to decision-making. At the same time, my studies at the China Academy of Art and California State University nurtured my appreciation for design, aesthetics, and the way spaces shape everyday living.
These two experiences naturally came together and shaped who I am today — a real estate advisor who combines logical analysis with a genuine understanding of lifestyle and home design.
What do I specialize in?
I specialize in buying and selling residential real estate throughout Southern California, with expertise in new construction, resale homes, sought-after school districts, and investment properties.
For buyers, I help clients identify the right opportunities, evaluate properties, negotiate effectively, and navigate the transaction from offer to closing.
For sellers, I provide a strategic approach to pricing, positioning, presentation, marketing, and negotiation — designed to maximize exposure and achieve the best possible outcome.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, I combine market knowledge, analytical thinking, and a strong eye for design to provide personalized guidance and help my clients move forward with confidence.
Why work with me?
I’m not just your Realtor — I’m also a mother of three, so I understand what a home means to a family and the importance of making smart real estate decisions for the future.
Before becoming a Realtor, I built my career in the technology industry, developing a strong analytical mindset and attention to detail. Today, I bring that same strategic approach to every transaction, helping clients make informed decisions with confidence.
I’m proud to have been recognized among the Top 100 Realtors® in California and honored with the RE/MAX Chairman’s Club Award. With expertise in negotiation, strategic marketing, and property presentation, I help clients maximize value whether they are buying, selling, or investing.
My goal is simple: to provide thoughtful guidance, strong representation, and a seamless experience from start to finish.
