When we inherited 2 properties from our father, we were presented with the task of renovating and selling the properties. We were all somewhat inexperienced and felt overwhelmed by the task. We considered selling the properties ‘as is’, but decided to do some research and that is how we found Amar. Amar had sold a property at one of the complexes concerned at a very surprising selling price. He also had a long list of tremendous reviews. From the very beginning, Amar was clear in his communication. He had a great deal of knowledge about what buyers in Silicon Valley are looking for. He coordinated referrals with contractors and gave us building supply sources. He was detailed and quick to respond to every question and concern. When it was time to list the property, he clearly understood the best strategy to draw multiple interested buyers. He was very skillful in his negotiation and kept us well informed throughout the process. In addition, he refused to represent the buyer, as he doesn’t want a conflict of interest to the seller, even though that would increase his personal commission. Amar, through hard work and determination, achieved a record price for our property, with reliable buyers, which was 171,000 over asking price!! He negotiated and executed a quick and painless escrow process, which ended in an early and successful close of escrow. We count ourselves lucky to have found Amar and give him the highest recommendation.Print this entry

One of our achievements in the process of buying our first real estate in the US was to select Amar and Sri. We decided Amar without any reference, so there was an initial hesitation to connect, but we took a leap of trust and talked to Amar. We developed trust in Amar over time by observing his ability to get our work done. We are delighted to see the results that Amar delivered to us. After the initial call with Amar, he took our problem as his problem, and that is one great thing we liked in this whole process. Amar has a predefined set of steps to follow in the home buying process, and we followed it and got the desired results. Amar himself brings in all the other players in the process like a loan officer, escrow, insurance, and warranty. I highly recommend getting the help of Amar in the home buying process. Amar remains very committed in the process and he drives it forward end to end and provides us the required results. Amar’s experience is the following: The first step of Amar is to get underwriting approval for the loan, so he connected us to a well-reputed loan officer after our initial few calls. The loan officer got the job done for us in a few weeks. Immediately after we got underwriting approval of our loan, we connected back to Amar. Amar and Sri provided their feedback on various house options that we selected on the portal provided to us by Amar. The experience of Amar and Sri helped us to reject different options and accept a few. This is where we saved a lot of time in selecting the right house for us. Within the first week of our loan approval, we, as a team, chose a home that we all liked.We visited the house on Saturday. Amar and Sri started bidding for the house on Sunday and by Sunday night, our bid was accepted. During the bidding process, Amar and Sri remained very active, since there were multiple offers present. Amar always negotiated with the seller team to make our case. In the end, we even overtook all-cash offers, thanks to constant negotiations and reassurance by Amar to the seller party. This last phase is a critical phase to get a house in a competitive market, and we could feel the expertise of Amar and Sri in this phase. It is very natural to have many questions during the whole process. This is where we found Sri extremely useful to us. Sri engaged with us over the phone many times to answer all our queries. She was very approachable during the whole process, which we appreciate a lot. House purchasing is a very big process, and we couldn’t have done it without the help of Amar and Sri. We will always remain thankful for their help in getting this house for us. Print this entry

Having been in Rotary for the past 34+ years, I know most of the Real Estate Agents and Brokers in Fremont including top agent. However in reviewing Amar Amarnath performance and execution of selling homes in my neighborhood I chose to use Amar as our agent for selling our property. Amar knows the right strategy to extensively market the home to sell at a higher price. I could have gone with some of those I have known for years. However I am not certain they could have accomplished what Amar was able to achieve. Example: The sale of another Home 3 doors from us that was listed for $859K and sold for $910K by Amar Amarnath. The home in my opinion should have sold for $810K as they had done nothing in upgrades to the property including kitchen and bathrooms. The carpet was from the time it was originally built in 1988 and they had not done any painting or refinishing of the cabinets. I have mentioned to Amar that I would have discounted it by $50,000 as it needed a lot of work. The entire home selling process from the beginning to the end was perfectly executed by Amar and team flawlessly. Amar personally involves himself and deliver absolutely the best results for his clients. Amar doesn’t not represent both buyer and seller for the same transaction. This clearly shows his level of standards and ethics in Real Estate business. His constant guidance in whole process is priceless. I certainly recommend him for you to work with. Hopefully this is beneficial for you. Print this entry

One of my friend referred Amar & Sri to us and I’m so thankful for that. They helped us in getting our new home and we were so fortunate that they were there to guide and help us on every steps. They helped me in taking the right decisions in each and every step of the home buying process. We got our dream house with Amar’s & Sri’s help. It is great house and our family loves it. This was all possible because of Amar’s and Sri’s hardwork. We got the best deal by all possible means. We paid less than the seller’s asking price. They saved us almost $15K through price negotiation and recovery from seller towards closing. They made sure that the property was good and would become an asset to family. They were involved in all the areas right from preapproval, looking at the houses, arranging for disclosures, making an offer, escrow and closing. Because of their personal contacts with lending agents, we even got the best rate for mortgage. He made sure that for 1st time home buyers the process is simple and hassle free. Amar’s and Sri’s time management, planning and making the right decision at right time is highly commendable. His knowledge/analysis to find pros and cons for any given house and providing true insight about the house makes them a unique Realtor®. Their perfect execution made sure that we got the house we wanted at our price. After the offer was accepted he stayed on top of things to make sure that we didn’t have issues till closing. It was their diligence, smart strategy, flawless execution & commitment that got us the house. We thank you for your hard work. I would highly recommend Sri & Amar for anyone buying/selling home.

It was a pleasure working with Amar and Sri for our first home purchase. They made the entire home buying experience a smooth and memorable one for us. In our first meeting, Amar stressed on team work which includes us, the buyers as well. At the end, it was the complete team work that won us the home. Amar’s team is a “one stop” shop for home buying. Everyone in the team (Amar/Sri – Realtors®, Narayan – admin, Nicole and team – home loan and Millie – Escrow) played their role to perfection and their professionalism is of the highest quality. Each member is highly experienced, collaborative, resourceful, and always alert. Whenever a challenging situation presented itself, they knew the corrective course of action and quickly implemented it. They all went above and beyond call of duty to take us to the finish line on-time. We highly recommend Amar/Sri and their team to anyone who like us are serious about winning competitive bids and close the sale on-time. Amar’s excellent negotiation skill and Sri’s straight to-the-point advises deserve a special mention. Sri was in constant touch throughout the home search process. Sri educated us on what the target list price should be, which localities we should aim for and made sure we were putting our time and effort on property where our chances of winning was realistic. Sri and Amar reached out to us at key junctures, patiently explained the pros and cons, and readily shared their point of view: all of which greatly helped us with the decision making. Amar won us a very competitive bid without multiple counter offers and successfully negotiated to have the seller pay a major portion of the closing cost – a perfect deal for us. Few days later the bank appraisal came in and the home was valued above the sale price – a true testament to Amar’s extraordinary negotiation skills. Post the offer acceptance, the team worked very hard to close the sale on time. Personally, we felt it was a huge advantage to work with a close-knit team as they collaborated among themselves to get majority of the work done. This allowed us to give all our time and attention to our son who at the time of purchase was barely a month old. A big thanks to Amar, Sri and team for all their help and care. We will be Amar/Sri’s client for lifetime! Oviya and Mani Print this entry

I connected with Amar through a friend who had provided a very positive feedback. Knowing how tough it is to get a house of one’s liking in Bay Area, I think, we are few of those fortunate people who got their first offer accepted. We walked into our new home in just under a month after meeting Amar, which for me is a big deal as home buying experience in Bay Area can be very frustrating. Our home buying experience was excellent and stress free with Amar, Sri and Team. Amar and his team are very experienced and professional. He was involved in all the areas of the home buying experience starting from loan pre-approval, home evaluation, offer negotiation, appraisal, loan, escrow and closing, and collaborated diligently and actively with all the participating parties resulting in a smooth and fast closing. I will definitely recommend Amar to all Home buyers for a smooth Home buying experience and I would like to personally thank Amar and his team for making my home buying experience so smooth and memorable.

Hi Amar, Please accept our sincere thanks for helping us sell our property at such short notice. We wanted to sell our house for some time. However, We were nervous about putting our house on sale during COVID situation. However, you made the process seamless for us, starting from getting the house on the market within 1 week, making sure the house is marketed superbly, generating offers/counters, and closing deals within 2 weeks. On top of that, you helped get the closing done a week sooner than planned. With your help, all tasks completed on or before time, we are glad we picked you as our selling agent. Appreciate your hard work and sincerity for the job well done. Best Regards Amit Print this entry

Thanks a ton, Amar and Sri, for helping us to get our dream home. We sincerely appreciate taking care of things like family, starting from guiding us to the right home till we move in. It is our pleasure to share our home buying experience. We started looking for houses through online portals, and that is how we came across Amar’s profile in Zillow. After finding reviews on multiple online platforms about Amar, we decided to choose him as our Realtor®. We contacted Amar in October 2020, through a phone call. Amar promptly replied to our call and set up a meeting the same day. He explained to us in detail about the home buying process. We were impressed in the first call itself, seeing how thorough he is and how he laid out his plans. We knew that we had chosen the right person. Sri explained to us in detail about the market and how we should select the homes. She had an excellent understanding of the location and knew the value of homes in that particular area. She also explained to us how the value changes over the years. Sri helped us in narrowing our search. Sri made us realize that we shouldn’t just look at the home’s interior, but it is equally important to look at other aspects of the home.Once we found our dream home, Amar was at the forefront, making a strong case for our offer, whereas Sri was working with us and walking us through everything that we needed to know. Given the number of offers that home had, we weren’t expecting to win the bid. But to our surprise, Amar called us and informed us that our offer was accepted. The Seller accepted our offer. It’s all because of Amar’s strong persuasive skills and internal connections with sellers. Amar has a great team, starting with the lender who gave us the home’s best mortgage rate. The insurance agent, the home warranty agent, the escrow agent, etc., all of them were quick to jump in and help us. Amar’s team helped us close the deal within 3 weeks, even during the pandemic and holiday season in November. Overall it took less than 1.5 months for the entire process. Amar was keen on following up with everyone involved in the whole process. He frequently updated us on the status. His management skills were commendable. Overall the whole process was very smooth. Amar and Sri executed the plans perfectly and were personally involved in every activity. They involved us in every step, and the entire process was very transparent to us. They were readily available whenever we called them. We would highly recommend Amar and Sri for all your home buying process, especially for first time home buyers. Print this entry
