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

It gives me great pleasure to write about our home buying experience with Amar. Amar is one of the most hard-working and detail oriented professionals that I have seen. His preparation in listing comparisons and pros and cons of each property was extremely thorough and helpful. This enabled us to make decisions regarding a property in a timely manner with confidence. In addition to hard work, he works very efficiently to close a deal. Amar’s negotiation skills are par excellence and he was able to save us a bunch of money during the property purchase as well as in closing costs. In fact, we have authorised Amar to make an offer at the market value to get our ideal home, Amar was able to close our property deal before the final offer deadline that too 40K below house market value based on the recent sold comparables in that neighbourhood in multiple offers situation. YES. Amar made it possible with his right offer strategy and great interpersonal skills. Amar setup friendly meeting with seller, listing agent, and us to develop relationship/trust and then presented the offer package with right keys and communications. With Amar, you have total peace of mind as he does his job with total thoroughness and integrity. As first time buyers, we were unsure of a lot of things but Amar was able to guide us through the whole process without any hitches or difficulties. Another quality of Amar is that he is very patient and not pushy like some other Realtors®. He never nudged us into purchasing something that we were not sure about. In fact, when we were willing to lower our standards, Amar dissuaded us from considering houses that were not meeting our criteria. In addition to Amar’s considerable professional accomplishments, Amar is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. It is a real delight to interact with him on a personal level. Choosing Amar was our best decision in the house hunting process. In today’s market, when value proposition is everything, Amar is the man to close out deals with great value proposition and quality of the transaction.” Print this entry

Dear Amar and Sri garu, As young first-time home buyers our home buying experience in a market as crazy as the Bay Area was nothing short of a fantasy tale! I think it was just good fortune to be referred to you by our very good friends. We are still in disbelief that you made us land our dream home in the smoothest possible way and in an unbelievable time frame of two weeks. Your thorough guidance about the areas to choose for a home based on our needs was spot on. We are mind-blown by the negotiating skills of AMAR garu since we had the opportunity to witness the entire negotiation process and the execution of the transaction. Your personal involvement in the Appraisal, Loan, Escrow process and Closing helped us novices gain confidence in the entire buying process. It is by no means a simple feat to be accepted in a hot market bidding with multiple offers. With the right guidance and best deal negotiation you not only made it a cake walk for us but also helped us stick to our price point! You have been more than just a Realtor® to us. We found a great mentor, advisor and friend always vouching for our best . We are ever grateful to you and cannot thank you enough for helping us achieve a big milestone in our life! YOU ARE THE BEST. Thanks and regards, Sravya Print this entry

Simply put, Amar is amazing. I am a first time homebuyer and contacted Amar via zillow. He got in touchnwith me and explained to me about the pre-requisites for home buying process. He also connected me to a lender to help me with the pre-approval. I met with Amar after getting my pre-approval and set expectations for the home. After attending a few open houses I came across a home I liked on mlslistings. The open house for the house was over already and offers were starting to come in. Sri and Amar through exceptional effort arranged for a seeing of the home on the same day evening. After a brief deliberation with Amar and Sri,I decided to make an offer for this home. I had heard many horror stories about home buying in Bay Area. I wasn’t really sure if my offer would go through as there were other competing offers with higher bids. Amar followed up diligently on the offer over and over again, explaining the merits of my offer over other offers and convinced the sellers to accept the offer. I couldn’t believe it when he said my offer was accepted. It was one of the happiest days of my life. As soon as the offer was accepted, Amar listed out clearly what needs to happen next to complete the home purchase. He also kept all the stakeholders in sync and followed up to avoid any delays. The whole experience was unbelievably easy. Through diligence of Amar and Team, we were able to complete all requirements even before the escrow closing date. It wouldn’t be an understatement to say that I am homeowner now because of Amar. Thanks Amar! you will be go-to person for even my future home buying needs. Print this entry

Amar and team are really helpful in our home buying process right from the initial consultation to the final closing. We saw the house in market and liked it. We contacted Amar & team; they were very helpful in explaining the process and also explain about the market conditions. They placed our offer and aggressively on top of the status. They worked overnight (we got a call at 12:00midnight!) and made the offer that the seller cannot decline. That is the one aggressive strategy. Also they used some innovative techniques to make the buyer side look genuine and interested. We got our offer accepted. It is 20K less than the highest offer. I believe it is all because of Amar’s strategy. Amar also provided wonderful support once the offer is accepted. He answered our questions and helped us all the way till closing. Also, Amar and team helped us to find the mortgage banker that can process our loan faster since we are about to leave to India on vacation. By some magic, the mortgage banker approved the loan in shortest time and we signed the docs just a day before we leave. Amar also talked to the banker on our behalf . Home buying process was really a stressful experience since we are first time buyers. Amor and team were really helpful in reducing our stress during this process and our thanks to them.

Hello Amar, Thanks a lot for helping us to get out first home! You made our first home buying experience very smooth by spending significant time in background and getting involved in each and every step of process. I appreciate your aggressive negotiation skills, thorough knowledge and effort in preparing attractive offer. I would like to thank you for all the tips after our offer was accepted. It just took 25 days to complete whole process starting from preparing offer to get the keys to my new home. Thanks, Ram Print this entry

Choosing Amar as an Agent was the best decision we made. Selling home made easy , very professional in marketing, incredible assistance in paper work and Escrow process. We never felt pressured into selling the home which is something I have expected a Realtor® to do. More importantly, however, was the fact that he was incredibly pleasant to work with. He was always honest and gave great advice, very patient with us and NEVER condescending. Amar is extremely responsive to any and all questions we had, and we can trust that he always has your best interest in mind. We truly felt that Amar prioritized our needs and desires first and that always came above what was best for us. One example is he genuinely helped us even to refinance. Thanks to Amar for being there with us in the whole process. Amar very flexible, trust worthy and hardworking, and he will always be in your corner supporting. We recommend Amar to everyone who is in process of buying and selling the home.. Print this entry
