Sridhar Narasimham | Engineering Manager at Maximum Integrated May 20, 2015, Sridhar was Amar’s client -- May 2015

I contacted Amar based on the positive reviews that I read online. In a competitive seller¹s market, it is very important to have an efficient Realtor® who can represent you well & can get the job done. Amar & team got on the job right away. He has a great team and I got pre-approved at lightning speed. Amar & Sri worked with us and counseled us on our house requirements, the factors to consider and the locations we should consider. With that help we identified our target homes that we wanted to place an offer on. Amar put together a very good offer package and we got accepted, though we were not the highest offer. Our first offer was accepted at $20K less than the highest offer. We witnessed entire Amar offer presentation with seller and listing agent. We didn¹t even get a chance to make an 2nd offer out to our second target. Amar was able to negotiate many small components of the house closing that added up to a BIG SUM over $7K. His team was also excellent and the financing portion etc. closed in a record time. His support team is robust to survive any hiccups during the entire process. What continues to impress me about Amar is that he stayed engaged in the whole Home buying process and closed the HOME for us in a RECORD TIME. I higly recommend Amar.Print this entry

We were first time home buyers and we came to know about Amar & Sri from a close friend. Our home buying experience was a breeze just because Amar and Sri put their heart and soul in this whole process. From wanting to own a home to owning a home took just three weeks. On one Sun morning we met Amar and explained our requirements and limitations in buying a home. Being an expert Realtor® Amar quickly understood our requirements and guided us by providing valuable feedback on type of house we should target for our budget, areas we should target considering future market appreciation etc. On Mon evening we talked to Sri in detail. Sri with extensive knowledge in Bay Area neighborhood explained areas good for raising a family, areas with great neighborhood and good houses in market. On Wed Sri guided us to a house, this house met all our requirements, and the neighborhood was impressive. We quickly expressed our interest in this house to Sri. On Thu Amar took charge and guided in the bidding process. There were 11 bids for the house already. Being an expert strategist, Amar helped us bid 5% less than the least offer and negotiated to make this deal happen. So as a buyer we realized that a good buyer’s agent was not someone who can bid highest and win, but someone who can bid least, negotiate and win. On Fri, it was Diwali eve and we couldn’t be any happier, we had entered into contract with the Seller. On Diwali my friends told us that we were lucky in getting a good house for a lesser price. For an outsider it was luck since they did not see us work hard, but as an insider we attribute our good luck to Amar’s & Sri’s hard work. Without Amar’s homework on quality of construction, Sri’s understanding of our requirements and guidance to right home, neighborhood & area, and most of all Amar’s negotiation skills in bidding phase, we could not have owned this home. Next the loan processing had to be completed in just two weeks. Suited for our financial and closure situation, Amar guided us to the best lender for Escrow and Bank Loan process. The whole process of Legal and Bank work was executed by Amar, Sri and Team in a quick, effective and smooth fashion. By the end of three weeks, we had the keys to our new home and we were proud owners. I think we got lucky to work with Amar and Sri. Amar and Sri were not only our buying agent but also our mentors and friends in this whole process. Looking forward to getting guidance from and working with Amar & Sri. Vijay Kumar Print this entry

Jasvinder Singh | Sr. Technical Consultant April 28, 2014, Jasvinder was Amar’s client -- Apr 2014

In today’s crazy market where all houses are going above listing price, it is really tough to get a home of your choice. In such a tough market, it is crucial to have right agent with good contacts. Amar is super-agent. He knows and understands his buyers and their needs very well. We were first time home buyers and were looking for a house in Fremont for over a year and then we met Amar. We had a wonderful experience working with Amar. He put together a very nice well written offer that seller was not able to overlook and our offer was selected without any counter offer, even though our offer was not the highest one. Once our offer was accepted, Amar made sure that he was involved in all processes i.e. appraisal, Loan, Escrow process and made sure that we had all necessary documents in place for closing. Amar worked very closely with the loan officers to make sure that the whole loan process is smooth and easy. He even suggested us with various Loan options. He had very professional and efficient team and always stayed on top of all things. More importantly, he was very proactive and responded back to every email and phone message. He worked really hard and was able to recover few thousand from seller and lender towards our closing cost. He was very instrumental in convincing seller to leave refrigerator, washer and dryer (worth 4k) as a departing gift. We really liked his strategy towards the whole process, he never left anything to chance and he always had solution to all our issues. Amar’s professional and efficient handling of all aspects of the home buying process made it possible for us to buy a house in the Bay Area. I’d definitely recommend Amar’s services to anyone looking to buying a home in the Bay Area. I hope you will be able to help lot many other first time home buyers in future with your kind and helpful attitude. Thanks and Regards, Jasvinder Singh Print this entry

“Wow! Don’t know how else to put it. Sri & Amar just nailed it. Myself & my wife were getting ready for a 1+ year house hunt process but Sri & Amar nailed it in less that a week – Wow. This is my first home and I knew its going to be difficult from day one as you’re not sure which is the right one for us espcecially with the kind of budget that you’ve. Believe me, Sri & Amar are just great with any type of budget. The best part of it is they become part of your family than just Realtors®. Coz what I’ve heard is most of the Realtors® just work like Realtors® but these guys work along with you as if they’re hunting for a house. Seriously not boasting off here coz my intention was to get a condo with whatever budget I’ve, but Sri & Amar wont just let you settle for that. Like I told you they consider you as their family and think about our furture as well and make sure WE INVEST PROPERLY. They got me a single family home appraised at 750K got us for 685K with the budget I had. They wanted to make sure that I buy a home than just a condo for which the appreciation is much less. That’s when I realized these guys are not like any other Realtors® out there who are running around to make some extra bucks. I would seriously recommed Sri & Amar to everyone out there. Here are some of the key highlights which made this a seamless experience for a first time home buyer – 1. THE BEST DEAL by ALL possible means – paid much lesser than the listing price – yup! you read that correctly. I paid much lesser than the listing price as these guys know whats the right price for a particluar home. They wont let you fall into that crazy bidding process. 2. PERFECT EXECUTION of the process 3. Winning HOME with RIGHT STRATEGY 4. PERSONALLY involved in ALL areas ( Escrow process, closing & more) 5. CO-ORDINATION with Escrow to ensure closing 6. COLLABORATION in informed decision making 7. Entire PROCESS GUIDANCE throughout Home BUYING PROCESS 8. Staying on TOP of EVERY activity in the entire process to make sure end goal is accomplished as smooth as possible. So in less than a month I’m moving into my dream home tomorrow. I still cant believe this is happening. Once again thanks a lot Sri & Amar – Jean, Rahul & Ethan. Print this entry

KISHORE MOKADA | Staff Engineer at Nimble Storage July 27, 2011, Kishore was Amar’s client -- Jul 2011

The Extra Mile: That’s how we’d sum our experience with Amar. As a first time home buyer with a demanding job, purchasing a home seemed like a daunting task. We were amazed how Amar mastered knowing our needs in detail, and immediately found options that were perfect for us, both personally and financially. Within a month, we managed to make an offer, close, and move in to our first home. We’ve been thrilled with our choice ever since. Amar started with us from ground zero that is from getting pre-approval, introducing most sought out neighborhood in Menlo Park, showing the best schools in California, detailed information about the neighborhood like safety, what the neighborhood means for the kids. Amar connected me to loan officer, Jazzy singh, in his team, who was nothing short of stellar in assisting me in the loan process starting from pre-approval to closing the loan despite big obstacles with my specific situation, Amar and Jazzy worked hand in hand to resolve all the issues on time under stressful circumstances. Starting from making an offer, Amar thought through the whole thing very carefully, in spite of the property being in most sought out neighborhood and multiple offers on property for beyond the list price, he got the property $50k less than the list price, he got us the inspection with no cost done, went through the inspection reports and educated how it can be taken care, if it is not for his education and getting 80% discount ($8000) on the termite, we might have lost the property thinking the cost of fixing is enormous. Amar went an extra mile to not only to get the $50K less on the list price under multiple offer situation, but he negotiated to pay a few thousand dollars by the seller, he saved thousands of dollars at the every step of closing the escrow. He worked with loan officer to get $7000 credit. Above that he lined up other things for me like getting the termite done with mere $2500, where the same would’ve coasted $10,500, and also getting other inspections done without me physically there. He not only saved thousands of dollars in the whole transaction but also time, that way I was able to take care of personal life and yet got the best deal of the life. Amar is enthusiastic, energetic, powerful person, with exceptional negotiating expertise, excellent knowledge about the real-estate, and he has huge network of people, which is required to get the steal of a deal, it is like buying a house from Costco or whatever is you favorite whole-seller. Amar is one stop shop for home buying and owning and I will recommend him for anyone. Thank you so much Amar Print this entry

Saurabh Deulgaonkar | Manufacturing Mechanical Engineer at Fitbit September 7, 2019, Saurabh was a client of Amar -- Sep 2019

A big and sincere thank you to Amar, Sri and team! We met Amar in his office back in May and he gave us a very detailed overview of the entire process. His knowledge about the market is extremely good and accurate! Since we were first time home buyers, we had very little knowledge how an offer is made but Amar with his exceptional negotiation, put in the right strategy to win us our home. Since it was our first experience, we had many questions. Sri answered all the questions properly with patience. Amar and his team are very professional and created a project plan during the execution phase. His team for other processes like Loan, Insurance, Home warranty etc. is excellent and professionals and helped close the deal in three weeks! Kudos to his entire team! From creating a strategy to end of closing, Amar and Sri were personally involved in each and every step from answering our questions to following up on the stake holders in home buying process. Their guidance was really helpful as not once we were skeptical about any decision that we took. They were always available any time of the day, whether after office hours or during weekends. The most important thing about buying a home, is that you have to be comfortable in making a decision and thanks to Amar and Sri, we were very comfortable in going ahead with our decision. This is exactly what a first-time home buyer looks for and Amar and his team are the best in making sure that the buyer is comfortable. Thank you, Amar, Sri and Team, for helping us secure our dream home! I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to buy a home. -Tanvi and Saurabh Print this entry

Uthra Natarajan | Sr Software QA Engineer March 11, 2013, Uthra was Amar’s client -- Mar 2013

Amar is one of the most genuine person we have met and he has deep knowledge in real estate business. He helped us get our first home for which there we 40+ bidders and multiple cash offers , and convinced the sellers to pick us. He guided us throughout the process from pre approval to getting the loan and helped to make informed decision. His ability to understand the customer’s unique requirements and then trying to match a house that satisfies most is simply amazing. He also helped us save a lot of money in the closing cost and got us the best rates ever. Overall a very satisfying experience. I would recommend Amar to anyone who is thinking of buying a home in Bay area. Print this entry

Surendra Chakkirala | Staff Engineer at Qualcomm October 7, 2014, Surendra was Amar’s client -- Oct 2014

Amar and his team did an excellent job in getting us the home we liked. It was a multiple offer situation and Amar negotiated best deal at 5K lower than highest offer.Amar with his contacts and negotiation saved us couple more thousands during closing. Amar has a strong team that worked closely and round the clock. This helped winning the property in hot market. Amar was on top of all processes and guided us through the steps very well and kept us well informed all the time. He co-ordinated with the bank and the title company and ensured loan closing happened seamlessly. I would highly recommend Amar and his team to anyone Home buying/selling. Print this entry
