My wife and I had the pleasure of being introduced to Amar in Feb 2020 by an acquaintance of ours who had previously worked with him. Even before the first discussion, we got a really good feeling regarding his expertise by glancing at the numerous glowing recommendations on LinkedIn. During our first meeting, Amar took the time to patiently explain the home buying process and the current housing market situation. The key process steps and responsible stakeholders were defined early on! As first time home buyers with a young infant, this was invaluable for us and helped us save valuable time. Then we were put in touch with Sri Amar, who has a wealth of information regarding locality and background information. While we had to put a brief pause in our house search due to COVID-19, Amar and Sri were super understanding and emphasized that safety was first. They helped us to focus on the right area, which met most of our criteria. As we restarted the process in June, they were responsive and provided a lot of guidance. We did many drive-around (due to Covid-19). Sri Amar provided almost instant feedback on the choices homes we were interested in. She guided us in aspects that we did not even think about – like avoiding busy areas because we had a young one! The offer process itself was a unique experience. We were able to get a private viewing of our future house 10 hours before offers were due! With a lot of timely discussions with Amar and Sri, we were able to pull all of the info needed to get a good offer in! The fact that our offer was accepted when there were better/cash offers on the table is a testament to Amar’s negotiation skills (total of 13 offers). He fought for us so passionately when even we had given up hope, exhibiting his professionalism at the highest level. Even Amar remarked that this was one of his toughest negotiations in recent times, and he came out on top! (It was a Relocation transaction and very challenging in many ways). When we saw the email at around midnight congratulating us on our offer being accepted, we could hardly believe it! Our future home awaited us, where we would see our son grow up! If all of this was not enough, Amar’s most reliable trick was saved for last. His amazing network of crucial people for the closing process is mind-boggling! He was able to introduce us to the right Mortgage Agent, Insurance Agent, etc. Amar personally oversaw the process and ensured all of the points of contact reacted accordingly so that we could close on time! He and his team also ensured that we were kept in the loop for all decisions, really ensuring that we worked together. Even after closing, he continued to support us with key contacts for the locksmith, utility changeover, security, etc. In the end, it worked out for us that we were able to work with Amar! I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to buy (or sell), as they get the job done! We will certainly be returning to Amar for our future need.Print this entry

Laxmi Pati | VP, DATA AND BUSINESS ANALYSIS MAY 27, 2020, LAXMI WAS A CLIENT OF AMAR -- May 2020

We started looking to buy a new home last September, and the first step was to search for a good or rather best Realtor® in the bay area. Looking for an excellent, aggressive Realtor® as we did not have a pleasant experience with our prior Realtor® when we bought our previous home. I spoke to Amar, and we instantly connected. Amar has in-depth experience in every aspect of home buying. As soon as I started the conversation, we were able to discuss many things as he would understand buyer’s requirements very quickly. He would make strong recommendations on how we should proceed. Also, Amar was very proactive in suggesting how we should rent our previous home and was very helpful in understanding the rental market. These suggestions are unbiased in any manner. I still remember our first meeting with Amar. We discuss many things which would take several meetings with any other Realtor® ( in my opinion and experience). Once we decided on the budget and location with Amar’s inputs, the formal and professional process started from Amar’s team, which first started with Sri Amar. Sri Amar is immensely down to earth and understands every aspect of home buying, just like Amar. Sri Amar makes sure to filter the homes based on our preference. There were instances where I would ask Sri Amar if a particular home is worth visiting. Sri Amar would make sure to get into the details and see if the house is worth visiting. She said NO to many such homes before we found our home. Sri/ Amar had to make the offer to our current home very aggressively during holiday times (December). We are traveling internationally. Sri/ Amar ensured to work very closely with the sellers and us, negotiate it very aggressively, and get us a good deal. After winning the offer, the next steps executed an optimal way until we got the keys to our new home. I must say Sri and Amar are great at what they do and are very professional with a personal touch to everything they do 🙂 🙂 It was a great pleasure working with Sri and Amar. If anyone wants seamless home buying experience – now you know whom to go to 🙂 Sri and Amar Realtors®. Thank you, Sri and Amar. Print this entry

Alok Aggarwal | MEMBER OF TECHNICAL STAFF AT LACEWORK APRIL 12, 2020, ALOK WAS A CLIENT OF AMAR -- Apr 2020

After six months of fruitless home search and many unaccepted offers with another agent, we came across Amar. Amar noted our requirements and gave us a clear picture of the market. He shared home buying process and encouraged us to stick to the process. Amar clarified our doubts about property selection and busted some of the myths. We were looking in Milpitas and we found ourselves in a very aggressive market in the first quarter of the calendar year 2020. But Amar and Sri know the market very well. They have a great network in Milpitas area. Amar helped us win the deal amongst many offers. A few were even higher than ours. Amar used his top negotiation skills to make sure we get the deal. After offer acceptance, Amar and Sri guided us through the closing process. They have a strong network of connections ranging from lenders to insurance providers to contractors. Amar led the whole process and drove his team to complete the closing, keeping us closely involved throughout. Amar made sure he stayed on top of the process. After closing, Amar and Sri continue to help us with their contacts so that the house move-in goes smoothly. The contacts they suggest offer very competitive prices. We are very happy with the deal we got. We strongly recommend Amar and Sri for people’s real estate needs. Print this entry

When I enquired in my network for a Realtor®, whom I can count upon for buying a dream home, few names came up; among all, Amar and Sri stood out on the list. Soon after, I met Amar in person and was amazed by his background as a techie, in-depth knowledge of the local market, genuine care for their clients, willingness to go the extra mile to help first-time buyers like us. Amar and Sri have been very instrumental in looking at the property from various angles (value proposition, neighborhood, school district, and what not) and steering us towards winning our dream home through the right strategy, best negotiation by all possible means, flawless execution, and personally involved in every step of the process(Escrow, Mortgage, Home Insurance/Warranty, Closing, Referrals for remodeling contractors/Re-Keying and the list goes on and on) from scheduling the tour of the property to scheduling the house warming ceremony. It was a one-stop solution for all Real Estate needs, and I am glad I was in the right hands. Honestly, I couldn’t thank Amar and Sri enough for going the extra mile to make this entire process so pleasant and seamless. One of the best decisions I made to work with you. You exceeded all our expectations. I firmly believe this collaboration will last long. We would highly recommend Amar, Sri & his entire team searching for the right home per your need, collaboration in making an informed decision, proper deal negotiation, flawless execution, and seamless experience throughout. Thank you, Amar and Sri! You are the BEST in the valley! Print this entry

John Barrington | Senior Director eCommerce Sales May 21, 2012, John was Amar’s client -- May 2012

Its Sunday May 20th, 2012 and I am sitting in my new house. What is remarkable about this is that I first set eyes on this house 21 days ago. Without Amar, there is no chance I would be sitting here watching the soup and writing this recommendation. He was simply incredible in his analysis of the value of the property, winning the house against 12 bidders, helping with the loan, insurance and simply being a great partner through every step of the process. Not only was he incredibly supportive but Amar then went that step further and saved us over 30K. 20K was during the offer stage where throught Amar’s negotiating skills, we saved 20K and had our offer accpeted even though it was not the highest and the second was in retrieving 5K from the seller and 5K from the lending bank. Above all else through, Amar is a really nice guy we actually had a lot of fun in closing the deal in 15 days. I would recommend him to anyone! Thanks, JB Print this entry

Vikas Das | Software Developer Engineer at Apple October 25, 2020, Vikas was a client of Amar -- Oct 2020

We were recommended to Amar and Sri by a co-worker, Praveen. We highly recommend Amar and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. It has been a privilege working with Amar and the team. We are a first-time buyer and not sure whether we should buy house or not mainly because of high price bay area real state and COVID situation. I talked to Sri. She understood my requirements and helped us to choose the right neighborhood in terms of school, commute, safetly, and future investimate. Sri gave us honest updates about the house, which I am interested, neighbors and surroundings of the house. She guided me in terms of the offer, max price I should be bidding, pros and cons of property, and future values. Even our bidding is not highest, but Amar used his negotiation capability and worked the whole night to win the offer in our favor. Amar walked through all disclosures and patient with me with all first-time buyer question. Best part of Amar team(Lender, Escrow, Insurance) is; even it is COVID situation whole execution from getting the offer to Recording Entire process was very smooth. Amar has been involved actively, monitoring all steps, and constantly updating me. His entire team is very professional and supportive. I highly recommend Amar’s team’s services for home buying process. We are very satisfied with the whole experience, and I strongly recommend. Print this entry

It was a great pleasure working with Amar, Sri and his team on our first home and we would like to THANK YOU for all the work you have done. From giving you a call for the first time to getting keys in hand, 60 days flat which includes a 3 week christmas break. We picked a home that we liked after looking at different properties and you got us the keys to the house in less than 30 days (including pre-approval, negotiation ~ 31 competing offers, appraisal, closing etc.). We knew we picked the right set of folks to work with on our first call itself. Your follow ups with the seller, their Realtor®, banks and escrow in a 31 offer scenario is outstanding. You made that happen with flawless execution with first offer. It is very likely other 31 offers were from more experienced buyers, we being in the market for the first time *without an all cash offer* and winning the contract on a $5K less than our upper bound with seller contributing towards closing costs, speaks volumes about the hard work you and your team put in. Your network of working with banks and other related parties makes the home buying experience much more smoother than one could imagine in the hot bay area real estate market. We look forward to working with you on many more real estate needs to come. Print this entry

Ram Elango | Manager, Data Engineering at Talend (IT) September 8, 2020, Ram was a client of Amar -- Sep 2020

I wanted to buy a property in Fremont. Amar explained to me regarding the home buying process and all of our roles and responsibilities. I started to shortlist the homes I liked, and Sri helped set up the in-house visit timing with the seller’s broker. In a couple of weeks, I was able to finalize a home and updated Amar and Sri. Amar then worked very hard during the contract process by placing me at the right spot, which allowed me to get the home. At this stage, the one crucial point is that even as I was willing to pay more for the house, Amar got me the home at a lesser price, which is incredible. It clearly shows his confidence in the field he is in, which is excellent. I went with a bank which gave me pre-approval. However, due to the COVID situation, they could not approve my loan. At this point, I thought that I would lose this new home. However, Amar got me extra days from the seller’s end, and at this point, I went with a different bank for the loan. Amar did not lose hope, and he was under tremendous pressure for all sides. However, irrespective of being under pressure, he tried to handle everyone with compassion and calm nature. A few times, he even pushes people hard to make things happen on time. Finally, I got my new home only because Amar and I and my family are always grateful for Amar Sri. Whoever is in the market now for home buying, I would strongly recommend Amar and team. He is a one-stop-shop and will go to heaven and earth to make it happen. The service Amar is doing is incredible, and I wish him all the best and no way why no one can beat him, and he is the top Realtor® in our bay area. Print this entry
