MANI BHARATHI PANDIAN | Staff Engineer at Qualcomm May 29, 2018, Mani Bharathi was a client of Amar -- May 2018

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 ManiPrint this entry

Amar was a superb agent, providing us with tremendous service through his expertise and support in successfully buying our dream home. We were in a hot area and the house had a lot of interest, so we weren’t sure whether we would be able to get it. Amar helped define a winning strategy, then executed against it while still making sure that all of the details were covered. He provided the best possible negotiation, saving on closing costs and including lots of personal property. His personal investment in our success was obvious, as he went out of his way to connect with the seller and the seller’s agent, communicated with us after hours many times, and supported us throughout the closing process with his time and coordination with his network of experts getting us through the loan approval, closing, and escrow details. His personal touch was a huge relief and made the process as stress-free as possible. We were able to get a tremendous amount of things done quickly and he had perfect execution during the whirlwind of activities. Print this entry

Srini Koushik | President and CEO at NTT Innovation Institute Inc. July 25, 2013, Srini was Amar’s client -- Jul 2013

Over the past 25 years we have purchased several properties around the country and have worked with several professional agents that provided good service. Recently we purchased a home in the most competitive market in the country – the bay area. However, this was the best and most seamless experience for us. The main reason for this was Amar Amarnath our Realtor®. Amar provided the most comprehensive service we have ever seen. It includes: • Advicing us about the Bay Area, its school systems, the commute and neighborhoods • Showing us a very good selection of houses and educating us about the choices and pros and cons of the choices • Helping us put together a good offer and driving the best deal for us through effective negotiations without entering into a bidding war • Personally staying involved in ALL areas (Appraisal, Loan, Escrow process, insurance, and closing) • Co-ordinating efforts with WFC and Escrow to ensure loan closing In my opinion, Amar is the most professional, capable, intelligent and hard working agent we have ever known. More importantly he is a decent and kind human being who is easy to like and get along with and one who operates with the highest level of honesty, integrity and trust. We are planning to refer Amar to all of our friends and we plan to stay connected to him as a friend for a lifetime and would work with him every time we have a real estate transactions.

Manojh Ananthakrishnan | Software Engineer August 15, 2020, Manojh was a client of Amar -- Aug 2020

Amar’s thorough analysis of the real estate market and an in-depth understanding of the buyer’s expectations makes him uniquely positioned to navigate tough real estate markets. He is professional and systematic in laying down his role and his expectations from his clients. We had the first-hand experience of this when we approached him for our single-family home needs. Once we finalized the home we wanted and the price we wanted to pay, Amar was able to negotiate a highly satisfying deal for us well below the listing price, keeping us informed us at every step during the negotiations. With an able partner in Sri Amar, we highly recommend Amar and the team as a buyer’s agent for your home buying needs. Print this entry

NIDHI RAMAMURTHY | Quick Wins Business Analyst July 27, 2011, Nidhi was Amar’s client -- Jul 2011

I wanted to take this time to thank Amar for the enormous support and expertise he provided us. Raman and I are not first time home buyers for either a primary or investment home and have dealt with multiple house purchases and Realtors® during the last decade. Normally and understandably this can be a very difficult and often nervous time for a lot of people but our experience was absolutely positive. Right from the beginning, Amar provided us with a wealth of information about the neighborhood that immediately showed great investment potential. He used his great people/negotiation skills to secure the property for us at below asking price when there were multiple offers on the table. His tie-ups and constant checking with mortgage broker helped us keep the loan processing on track with a closing in 21 days! Even in situations where he did not have a prior working relationship with people (for example, he worked with new people in the Title Company), he was able to use his great negotiation skills to influence the situation in our favor. Also, in the process he forges new relationships that will help his clients further. Print this entry
