Yi Chen works real estate out of Keller Williams' Braintree office, focused on Quincy, Braintree and the South Shore — and on Boston's Chinese-American community in particular. A recent review describes him laying out three different selling strategies for a Braintree property, then guiding the sellers through a light renovation before listing it; that pattern of staying hands-on through the whole transaction, not just the showing, runs through his history. The volume here is real: 72 Google reviews since 2021, every one five stars, and his Massachusetts real estate broker license is active. First-time buyers are a recurring theme — in a 2022 review, one buyer said he walked them through mortgage financing, weighed the pros and cons of every property they looked at, and later helped with renovation repairs after closing. Investors show up too: a 2025 review describes him spending months sourcing an investment property in Quincy for a buyer new to that category. Several reviews describe him winning competitive situations. In a 2023 review, a buyer said he drove out to meet the seller in person and sign an offer before a rival cash bid could land, on what the reviewer called a rehab property; a 2021 review credits a "strategic" approach with landing a property that had drawn multiple offers. More than one reviewer also mentions that his fluency in Chinese mattered directly — in reviews from early 2025, buyers describe him translating financing and closing details for parents who don't speak English. He also turns up after the sale closes: a 2025 review says he set up utility accounts and filed a residential tax exemption for a buyer once the deal was done, and another describes him still handling a rental a year after finding the property. Nothing here points to a complaint or licensing problem — the main thing worth confirming before calling is which service fits, since his reviews describe him buying, selling, sourcing investments and managing rentals alike.
Yi helped us list and sell our property in Braintree from start to finish. When we first met, he laid out three different selling strategies and walked us through the trade-offs of each. We chose the light-renovation approach, and Yi guided us through the entire renovation as well as the full selling process. The transaction was smooth, and we ended up getting the price we wanted. Highly recommend!
I’m looking to purchase a property in Quincy and had a consultation with Yi. He has been very helpful with the process and explained everything clearly. Highly recommend!
I was referred to Yi Chen by a friend in Quincy who bought a home with his help. Yi was professional, responsive, and very helpful throughout the entire home buying process. He kept us updated at every step, and what really stood out was his follow-up after closing—he checked in to make sure everything was going smoothly.
Great experience ! Great communication, very efficient. Made the communication between landlord and tenant go smooth. Yi is the man you need to get the job done !
I’ve known Yi for many years, and it’s truly amazing to see his journey — from starting with his tax practice to growing massively in real estate. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication are unbelievable. Yi always goes above and beyond for his clients. Highly recommended!
