Thank you, Amar & Sri, for helping us get our dream home. When we first contacted Amar in May, we were clueless about the home buying process. Without his help and guidelines, we could not have reached this milestone. We were doubtful if it was the right decision to buy a house amidst the pandemic and Shelter-in-place. After talking to Amar about our concerns and expectations, he gave us a clear picture of the process. He explained all the steps and how he and Sri will be involved in each step. He connected us to a lender who could close the sale in 21 days. We realized this is important for sellers to close the house in as little time as possible. Sri helped us find our perfect home. She guided us to find a home that fit our current need and will also be a good investment for the future. We realized that there is much more to a home than newly remodeled cabinets and kitchen. It is all about LOCATION! There were many evenings when we talked for hours about different properties. She gave us clear insight into why some properties are not right for us. Finally, we found a property with everything that we looked for, and Sri gave us the green flag. Amar explained the disclosures of the house very well to us. He presented a clean offer to the seller and negotiated a good deal for us by working around the clock. We got the house with new furniture all at list price, which was 30K less than what the seller expected. Even after moving into the house, Amar and Sri continued to help us to sort out everything. We are grateful to have known them, and we appreciate all their efforts in helping us land in a beautiful home.Print this entry

As a first-time homebuyer in Bay Area, the whole process of buying a house, bidding can be very overwhelming and stressful. But with the help of Amar, Sri and his team, it couldn’t have been easier and quicker. When we began our home-search, from Yelp we found that many buyers in Bay Area are in similar condition greatly helped by Amar and his team. We met Amar at his Palo Alto office where he explained the entire process, his custom search engine for homes and also answered the questions we have about bidding and closing on home, how to consider property valuation. Amar also introduced us to his wife Sri who works with him and also to his lender (Risha), who was quick enough to get us a pre-approval letter. They have amazing modus operandi where home buying is divided into tasks and executed meticulously. We never though that we will end-up being homeowners so quickly. Amar worked really hard to get our offer accepted. Amar got all the paperwork ready to put in an offer for the house by making an informed decision on the offer price. He worked till midnight for negotiating with seller agent and got our offer accepted. Ever after offer got accepted, Amar and Sri worked with loan officer, insurance team to make sure we will close in short span of 21 days. Thank you, Amar and Sri, for being so cooperative, kind and humble to us in the whole process and making us the proud owner of our first home in Bay Print this entry

SRIYA RAJAGOPALAN | Software Engineer November 27, 2018, Sriya was a client of Amar -- Nov 2018

My husband and I were always a little bit concerned as to how we could complete a real estate transaction without ever meeting the agent(s). However, we are now convinced that, with Amar and Sri, it is possible. 1. Selection of home: In retrospect, we really liked touring houses on our own and discovering what we truly wanted for our first home. We also appreciate Sri’s timely advice to get us first-home buyers on the right track. 2. The bidding process: We had a dry-run when we bid on a house for the first time in 2017. So, this time when we won our bid, the process was absolutely clear. We also appreciate Amar’s aggressive bidding in getting us a great deal. He truly pulled a rabbit out of the hat. 3. Lender recommendation: We were glad that Amar introduced us to Nicole from GuaranteedRate. She was great to work with and clarified all our queries regarding the loan. Thank you for helping us get our first home in this competitive Bay Area market! Print this entry

Just awesome! Enthusiastic, friendly, expert, go-getter, responsive, passionate, and a clear vision – the first few words that come to my mind as I’m writing my review for Amar. For a first time home buyer and someone that worries about things even when there is nothing to worry about, my mind was always at ease working with Amar. Any questions I had were answered in a matter of minutes. I got my dream home in just one month’s time after I started working with Amar. Honestly, in the One month working with Amar to find the perfect place for me I never waited any longer than 5 minutes for a response to an email or a phone call, it’s bizarre really! No where do you find that level of clients service these days. You literally feel like you are the only person he is working with to help find a home. If you use Amar and his team you will not be disappointed, actually, you will likely feel more at ease knowing that he is working for you. The whole team has a level of professionalism that is unparalleled. Amar’s logo E = MC² is a true representation of Amar’s service. Amar’s key strengths are developing relationships with agents, sure-fire negotiations, and right guidance throughout the home buying process which is priceless. In our collaboration process by going beyond call of duty Amar saved us over 14K PLUS 9K below List price instead of over bidding. Amar staying on TOP of EVERY activity in the entire process to make sure end goal is accomplished as smooth as possible. I can say one word that says everything about Amar’s service !! Excellente !!!

SRINIVAS GANTASALA | Consultant at Tech-NetInc July 29, 2017, Srinivas was a client of Amar -- Jul 2017

Amar and Sri helped us in getting our first home and made Home buying a memorable experience. Amar asked us to meet him in the office to find out what our preferences are and from then he has guided us, and very responsive in every step of the process from Pricing to Loan to Escrow to Closing. Amar also saved money in home price and closing cost due to Amar’s tremendous knowledge and negotiation. Our first time Home buying would have been nerve- wracking and confusing, if Sri would not have helped us answer all the very small doubts that we had. Sri was always there for us and guided us throughout the whole process and gave us examples how we can make proper decisions on important items. She always responded to our phone calls and answered them with lots of patience and made us understand everything and made our first time home buying experience a really pleasant one. Amar’s knowledge is tremendous in negotiating, with the agent and in writing attractive offer that helped us in getting the house we wanted. we were looking to buy our first home for many years now. We started to loose hope in getting our home. Then we met Amar through one of our friends reference. Amar gave us tremendous confidence, and in less than a month we made an offer and bought our first home. Amar guided us through every step of the way and made our dream come true. I strongly recommend Amar and Sri as they have tremendous knowledge and good negotiating skills. God Bless Amar and Sri. Print this entry

Hi Amar/Sri, Following is my feedback on the home buying experience we had with you and your team. We started off on the home buying journey with you almost 1 1/2 years back. We had gone through 4-5 properties related offer presentations where couple of them we did not get selected and couple of them we got them and rejected them on contingency basis. During all this time you had been available whenever we called you and asked about any of the properties. Finally beginning of this month(May 1 st 2018) we closed with a successful one. During this long home buying journey we had with you, we observed the following: 1. You are very diligent in your home analysis with respect to the ROI, Costs, growth potential, suitability to our needs etc. Really appreciate your insight and knowledge about all things related to home buying. 2. You are very knowledgeable about the scenarios which would fit my family’s personal needs. E.g. In one scenario we had a home that was well below and within our budget (price wise). You had analysed the growth prospects for my family and gave your feedback on what are the pros and cons of choosing that property, which allowed us to make our decision in an informed way. 3. You had given us great advice on which conditions we should be wary of and which we should be able to mitigate and which we should be able to address. 4. You had good external and internal team setup which basically allowed us to close the property on time. 5. You had been on top of things that were necessary for closing the property. 6. You had given us your external business contacts for working with different aspects of owning a home and managing it. Overall it has been a great home buying experience. It was (and is) great feeling, working with you and your extended team ( especially Stacey Huang). Print this entry

Amar and Sri are rockstars! This is the TEAM to go to if you aspire to have the best home. Where do I start? Well, let me start from the beginning. This is our second home. We did buy our first home with Amar’s guidance. So we are aware of the home buying process, which can be stressful. Amar did go through the process before starting, and I understood a digital transformation and framework that I did not see during my first home purchase. This impressed me since being the best REALTOR® in the country. Amar continually works on improving the process to make it seamless for his clients. We were not in a rush as we have a home to live in and wanted to find the right next home. This is where my favorite support pillar comes in – Sri. She is just amazing. I can vouch that she is here for your best interest, and she doesn’t care if she loses a deal. Sri always advises on the house based on your family needs – First-time buyer? Do you have kids? Are you looking for an investment or something you want to call home? Do you need a backyard? Will the house appreciate it? She will give her best opinion and looks out for you as if you are her family. That is what stands out. I was surprised when Amar asked about our opinion on a property. Sri replied before saying it is not the ideal property and continuing looking. That moved me. You can pick up your phone and chat with her as you would with your family. All you get is honesty. Now we found our ideal home, and then comes the master negotiator – Amar. He won us the deal when people were willing to pay way more. This sometimes looks unreal but trust me – THIS IS TRUE. He presents your value in both financial and emotional terms – That is what closes deals. You either pay a lot more and buy or pay just the right and complement other intangibles that Amar brings and win. You decide! Now, after we won the deal, Amar, as always, signs up for fast closure. We wanted to close this in 25 days, given Christmas, New year holidays and the ongoing pandemic. Nothing Stops AMAR and his team. He has the best team to get everything in place. We did have few challenges in closing on time – I won’t go into details – but Amar assured me not to worry. He said that this is his family’s deal and he would close it on time. And guess what, he did. I told him I would want to close it on 01/8 as it is an auspicious day. He made sure that we had the notary come in on the day for our signature, and he recorded it the same day and gave us the key. This is unprecedented given the pandemic. I want to reiterate that I will always BUY or SELL only with Amar, and I recommend you all to do the same. I always say that Amar is a sponge – He absorbs all the pressure and makes sure you enjoy the home buying process. I enjoy working with this GREAT team! Print this entry

Our home buy was only possible due to Amar’s diligence, network with banking/Realtors®/related services & keen market sense!! Cupertino is a competitive realty market & kudos to him in making it happen end to end! – from putting together creative offer package with the right price (not just max $, & less than our max budget), negotiating with the listing agents to understand sellers interests (late night on one instance), to helping with bank loan (you personally helped get us $2K credit), closing, home warranty… etc. Speaking for my wife & I – we love working with you & we know we can approach you anytime… To us, you are a great friend, beyond just a Realtor®. Our experience with you has been excellent & we would recommend you to anyone in a heartbeat!!! Print this entry
