"I highly recommend John Chang‘s services. He recently represented my wife and I in the sale of our Brooklyn home. I am a lawyer myself and I can honestly say he was integral to the process. There were some complications to the deal and John was able to walk both us and the buyers through the process. It’s possible the deal wouldn’t have closed without John’s help. John has many years of experience and is willing and was able to explain the process to us through all the steps. I would definitely use John Chang’s services again in the future."

"I used John Chang’s services to purchase an apartment. John is a pleasure to deal with. He made what was seemingly a daunting process much more manageable. John is well experienced with many aspects of the buying process and had an answer for every question we came across from the bank mortgage process to the closing. You definitely feel he has your back. He even puts in extra time after work hours to make sure the deal goes through. At closing, the bank had a discrepancy with the payout amount and just decided to glaze over it, but not John. He took the time to figure out what was missing even though the closing was finished. His rate is very reasonable and I high recommend his services for purchasing an apartment in nyc!"
