Five-star reviews from our clients.

  • Won a competitive Issaquah–Sammamish purchase

    We worked with Cindy to purchase our home in the East side, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The Issaquah and Sammamish market can be very competitive, especially in desirable neighborhoods like this one. Cindy came prepared with detailed comps, clear pricing guidance, and a thoughtful offer strategy that helped us stay competitive without overpaying. Her advice on structure, timing, and contingencies made a real difference. Throughout the process, she was incredibly responsive and detail-oriented. During inspection and negotiations, she walked us through every step, explained our options clearly, and made sure we felt confident in our decisions. She coordinated seamlessly with escrow and the lender to keep everything on track toward closing. What stood out most was her calm, steady approach. Buying a home can be emotional, but Cindy balanced strategy with reassurance. We always felt she was advocating for us and protecting our interests. If you’re buying anywhere on the Eastside, Cindy is absolutely someone you want representing you. Highly recommend.

  • A clear pricing plan for a South Seattle sale

    Cindy did an excellent job selling our home in South Seattle. From the very beginning, she provided a clear pricing strategy based on recent comps and local buyer activity, and helped us prioritize a few simple improvements that made the house show beautifully. She handled everything seamlessly — professional photos, listing setup, showing coordination, and buyer follow-ups. We had strong interest right away, and Cindy kept us updated throughout the process so we always knew where things stood. What really impressed us was her negotiation and problem-solving. She navigated inspection requests thoughtfully, protected our bottom line, and kept the transaction moving forward without unnecessary stress. Her communication was prompt and transparent, and we always felt she had our best interests in mind. Selling can be overwhelming, but Cindy made it feel organized and manageable. If you’re selling in Federal Way or anywhere in South King County, we highly recommend Cindy — professional, strategic, and results-driven.

  • A strong Mercer Island offer, without overreaching

    We worked with Cindy to purchase our home on Mercer Island, and the experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Cindy came prepared with detailed market data, recent comps, and a clear strategy before we even wrote the offer. In a competitive Mercer Island market, her guidance on pricing, contingencies, and timing helped us submit a strong offer without overreaching. She was incredibly responsive throughout escrow, proactive during inspections, and caught several details that could have easily been overlooked. Cindy also coordinated closely with the lender and escrow to keep everything on track, which made the entire process feel smooth and well-managed. What we appreciated most was her honesty and calm approach—no pressure, just thoughtful advice backed by experience. She truly treated this purchase as if it were her own. If you’re buying on Mercer Island or anywhere on the Eastside, Cindy is someone you absolutely want in your corner. Highly recommend.

  • Bought with her, then sold with her three years later

    Cindy helped us to purchase this home 3 years before, and this year we choose Cindy to sell our home again was one of the best decisions we made. Her trustworthy and candid advice on pricing and home preparation made a significant difference. Cindy advocated tirelessly on our behalf, handling complex negotiations with skill and confidence, which resulted in us achieving the highest sale price on our block. Her integrity and dedication throughout the transaction earned our utmost trust and gratitude.

  • A fast Bellevue sale at a great price

    When we decided to sell our Bellevue home, we wanted an agent who could not only help us price the property correctly but also make sure we marketed it to the right audience. After meeting with several agents, we chose Cindy, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. We were blown away by the speed at which our home sold. She helped us navigate the offers and worked tirelessly to ensure the process went smoothly. Her negotiation skills were exceptional, and she was able to get us a great price. Cindy’s professionalism and expertise were invaluable, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home.

Hi, I'm Cindy, founder of Olaie, a real estate broker and a feng shui consultant. I provide comprehensive real estate services for both buyers and sellers. For clients who value feng shui, I also evaluate a property through a professional feng shui perspective and incorporate those considerations into the overall real estate strategy.

Feng shui has its roots in Eastern philosophy. Traditionally, it holds that the environment in which we live can influence a family's health, prosperity, and even the fortunes of future generations. That is why, in Chinese culture, a truly exceptional property is often described not simply as a luxury home, but as a feng shui treasure land, a place believed to possess especially favorable energy.

Feng shui has also found practical applications in Western real estate and development. In the mid-1990s, when Donald Trump redeveloped the Trump International Hotel and Tower in New York, he reportedly consulted a feng shui expert. According to published accounts, the building's main entrance was reoriented toward Central Park based on that advice, with Central Park viewed as New York's Green Dragon, a symbol of protective and auspicious energy in traditional feng shui. The metal globe in front of the building was also reportedly positioned to help counteract the turbulent energy created by traffic flowing through Columbus Circle.

For sellers, I handle pricing strategy, property presentation, marketing, and negotiations. I can also recommend thoughtful adjustments to furniture placement, interior layout, and outdoor spaces, based on the home itself and your budget. When prospective buyers have feng shui concerns, such as the home's orientation, the direction of the entry, or the placement of bedrooms, I can explain those features clearly and credibly.

For buyers, I help compare properties, evaluate pricing, location, and condition, develop an offer strategy, and manage negotiations through closing. If feng shui is important to you, we can take the analysis further by looking at the home's orientation and layout, identifying which concerns may be improved through furniture placement or design adjustments, and which involve structural issues or costly renovations. These are questions worth understanding before you make an offer, not after.

Whether or not you personally believe in feng shui, Olaie provides complete, professional real estate representation. If you are considering buying or selling a home, I would be happy to help. Olaie: real estate expertise, with an understanding of feng shui.

Feng shui, read four ways.

Every home we show you gets a reading.

How we read a home ›

01 · The property's report

A reading of the home itself.

Land and surroundings, facing and build period, and the rooms you describe, checked against 60+ classical rules. Your first address's report is sent by email.

02 · Your household

Does the home fit the people in it?

Optional household birth-data match*: each person's Kua number (本命卦), and BaZi (八字) with a full birth date, read against the home. In every plan.

03 · AI master

Ask the reading anything.

Master Chen, an AI feng shui guide*, explains each finding and its remedies in plain language in every plan.

04 · Your broker, in person

Walked through by a broker who is also a feng shui consultant.

On Max plan, your broker, who is also a feng shui consultant, gives an in-person reading at the showing, checks the report's inputs and suggests changes outside and in; a wrong input gives a wrong finding, so we read it together.

Buying or selling, we read the home first.

We offer tiered pricing for every buyer. A reading for every home you tour.
