We got in touch with Amar through Zillow, and that was the turning point in the house hunt that we were in for some time leading up to it. Amar and the team were very proactive from the get-go. They enthusiastically walked us through the milestones and the expectations for the entire home buying process. Amar did not let the ongoing pandemic situation come in the way of the process. He set up frequent video calls to keep us up on the proceedings and was available for text/call/email at any time of the day. I always felt that the whole team was still on top of things and understood our requirements and preferences. They provided invaluable tips and suggestions regarding the red flags while visiting a house. Their intricate knowledge of the neighborhoods and localities assisted us immensely. Amar and the team have been in this business for quite a long time, and it shows in the network of contacts they have in the Realty business. Once we liked a house, both Amar and Sri would get into action and dig deep into the disclosures and lay out the details in layman’s terms in front of us. They were making it very easy for us to budget for the move-in expenses if any. We ended up buying a house with the first bid that we created with Amar and the team. The house had more than 10 bids, and ours was not the highest bid for the house. But Amar and the team negotiated relentlessly and used their connections with the selling agent to pull it off for us. They ensured that we stayed in the loop throughout the negotiation process and let us make an informed decision. We are pretty sure we would not have won the bid if not for Amar and the team. Later, Amar was personally involved in connecting us with the lender, escrow, home insurance agent, and others at every stage through the closing process. He would follow up with each of the parties individually to ensure that we were on track for the closing date. He would frequently send us the updated tracker of the milestones throughout the process. It was a delight to have an agent who always had our back, which took much load off us. He made the entire home buying experience a walk in the park. Even after we moved into the house, he has been in touch with us, calling us frequently to check if everything was right. Post-move-in, he provided contact with his contractors for some home upgrades we wanted to do. Every communication that Amar has provided us has turned out to be extremely professional. That shows the dedication and hard work that the entire team has put in through the years to build a strong network. We highly recommend Amar and the team to anyone looking to buy a property, be it a first-time buyer or not. It has been a privilege working with Amar and the team. We look forward to our continued relationship in the future. Thanks, Amar, and team. You are the best.Print this entry

It is really a pleasure indeed to write a review for Amar. In simple words, he will see the entire process of buying home an easy and Pleasant one. The unique thing about Amar is his vast experience in negotiating with the Bank people or with the sellers. Amar’s negotiations skills helped me to get a very great price (50K less than the higher offer) in this hot and multiple offers market, that too in South Bay. Over and above this, he got us a good discount from the lender towards closing cost. Amar was there to oversee see personally all aspects of the buying a Home whether it is Loan, Escrow or closing. Amar is simply an outstanding agent with a professional, efficient and, caring team. Moreover an excellent person to work with. He patiently answered all my many questions and continuously ensured that we had all the information we needed. I would strongly recommend Amar to anyone looking for an edge in a competitive housing market. Print this entry

Amar and his wife Sri make a formidable team. During the initial days of visiting open houses and narrowing down the right areas with good school district, Sri was an excellent guide having in-depth conversation about investing in the right locations and advising us on each home thoroughly. Since my husband and I both have hectic work schedules, Sri was able to accommodate calls after hours for any questions/concerns. Her knowledge of the market, areas and insights based on our needs was critical. On one home which we really liked and seemed good at face value, Sri was able to advise us on this not being a good investment in the long term since it might lack appreciation value, this was valuable advice since most Realtors® hesitate to tell the truth and might not stop you from making wrong home buying decisions. The first meeting with Amar convinced us that he is a professional and has the right expertise to guide us through the home buying process in this intensely competitive Bay Area market. We were proven correct when within 2 months of home search. When we moved to the next phase of making an offer on a home of interest, Amar stepped in with his expertise to guide us on the right offer prices while ensuring appreciation and appraisal gaps are well accounted for. Amar and Sri’s guidance helped us be the second highest offer on the table. Amar excellent negotiation skills was able to win us the offer despite the highest offer being 40K more than ours. Amar/Sri collaborated with us on every aspect of the process/strategy and kept us informed throughout on the progress. During the escrow/appraisal process, we were concerned on potential appraisal gaps. Amar and Sri went above and beyond to personally met with the appraiser to ensure the appraiser understands the local market and right value of the home. Our family can highly recommend Amar/Sri based on our experience. We will be happy to work with Amar/Sri if we chose to buy another home ! Print this entry

It’s my first time working with Sri and Amar for buying investment properties. I had the down payment for two properties but was not entirely sure that. I would qualify for two loans if I had to buy the two properties simultaneously. It’s a unique scenario where Sri and Amar made their critical impact. Sri gave thorough guidance about neighborhoods that suited my needs. She explained in detail why specific areas are better than others. When I was bidding, Sri advised me not to go overboard and explained why. It was because Amar had used his extensive connection with the agents networking and reputation. Amar convinced the listing agent that I was the best buyer and made my offer look like an all-cash offer. He was able to negotiate the best deal for me in the face of a higher offer. The second place where Amar made the most crucial difference was in executing both the loan closures. When one of the loan agents had issues with getting the loan closed, Amar spoke to the loan agent, their manager, the underwriter, and their manager. He was able to bring the various parties involved to the table and sign off the loan within a time period he had set. I believe this was the most challenging part of the entire process. Amar personally was on top of it to make sure both the loans closed as planned even when one was faltering and getting delayed. During the critical phase, he was overseeing the loan closure, the escrow process all the way to recording the property. He was on top of every process to ensure all of them ended smoothly with minimum disruption to my activities. Print this entry

We were so lucky to be working with Amar Amarnath. Having worked with other Realtors® in the past, Amar not only guided us through our most recent home purchase but also provided helpful insight and industry know-how. He went above and beyond by accommodating our hectic schedules, responded in a timely manner, and overall was highly professional and attentive. He is very well-connected and has a very professional team and we had such a pleasant and positive overall experience working with Amar. He had many contacts with Insurance officers, Loan Officers who have directly worked with him in the past and are very trust worthy. This helped us in saving a lot of time in shopping around for good deals. While placing offers also, being first time home buyers we were very nervous about few terms in the offers but Amar explained us everything in a very calm and composed way. We use to call him for every small and silly question in the beginning but he handled us in a very professional manner. Amar was on TOP of EVERY activity in the entire process to make sure end goal is accomplished as smooth as possible .His follow ups during the close of escrow were so quick and accurate to get things done on time. Amar has very good communication and negotiation skills so it was easy for us to communicate with the Sellers and Seller’s Agent in a very amicably manner. We absolutely plan to work with him again and would recommend him for home buyers Print this entry

Our home selling experience with Amar was as easy as it can get. Process started with him visiting the house and recommending minor decor changes that were required, he did a phenomenal job right from the beginning with photo shoot, pre-list marketing, aggressive open house showing and showed great negotiation skills from offer to close. He went above and beyond his duty to make sure all aspects were taken care. I would recommend Amar as a selling or a buying agent any day. Print this entry
