# Yi Chen, Realtor of Keller Williams Realty **Trade:** Real Estate · **Brokerage:** Keller Williams (KW) · **Address:** 29 Commercial St, Braintree, MA 02184, USA · **Phone:** (617) 333-1000 · **Website:** https://yichenrealty.com/?utm_source=gbp&utm_medium=organic · **Languages:** English, Chinese **Rating: 4.5/5** (medium confidence) — from 72 reviews across 3 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 1 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read 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. **Strengths:** - Bidding strategy — helped buyers win multiple-offer situations - Bilingual service — explains real estate steps in Chinese for family - Post-closing support — helps with financing, renovations and rentals after the deal - First-time buyer guidance — walks new buyers through financing and closing ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts real estate broker license verified active _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://occupationallicensingandpermitting.mass.gov/madol/s/license-search-page) — “MA real_estate_broker license 9558611-RE-S verified active” - In a 2023 review, a buyer described him driving to meet a seller in person to lock in an offer before a competing cash bid landed on a rehab property _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUMxdnNEWGJREAE!2m1!1s0x0:0xd4474ea476670882!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIC1vsDXbQ%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Yi Chen is an amazing realtor.
