Sindhu Tatimatla | Business Strategy, Planning and Analysis September 8, 2020, Sindhu was a client of Amar -- Sep 2020

We used Amar and the team to sell our home in. We received top-notch service from the get-go, and finally, our home sold for $100K over asking in a softening market due to COVID-19. These are outstanding results. Amar’s experience and strategy came to bear when our home inspection report showed significant areas of concern with our home. Amar worked with the buyers and us to ensure that the issues were fixed without affecting the sales price. To top that, the buyers and we were delighted with the outcome. We don’t know how he did it, but all we can say is that we were simply bowled over. Amar is an expert in two-sided negotiations. He ensures that the most competitive results are achieved for his clients in a way that leaves everybody involved very satisfied. Amar has an expert support team for home staging, inspections, and escrow. We felt like we received white-glove service throughout, and we could not be happier with the results Amar achieved for us.Print this entry

Amar handled the entire rental transaction in a very professional way. Starting with an initial home inspection, he guided us through what needs to be done to make the home even more desirable. On the marketing front he did a phenomenal job of composing a virtual tour of the property (which was actually going beyond the call of duty for a rental property) and posted it on multiple web sites to grab “eyes” from potential clients. One such client was from out of state; and working with him, Amar closed the deal at a record pace. The property was rented within a week and it involved several phone calls, emails, sharing of relevant documents and performing the needed background checks. Outcome was an excellent experience all around in terms of saving costs, renting earlier than what the client had planned, and closing the deal quickly. My wife and I are very happy to endorse Amar Amarnath as an excellent real-estate professional. Thank you. Nagendra & Padma Print this entry

This is probably going to be similar to some of the other reviews. However we cannot help saying Amar is really really the best. He has an excellent relationship with the Bank and sellers agents. Because of Amar we got: — An excellent rate. — We found our home, in an area we wanted — We were not even the highest bidder, but Amar and his team’s reputation to get things done on time, and his negotiation skills got us our home. — We needed the proceeds from our previous home in a different location, to invest into our current home and the funds were on the same day as the closing date. Amar got the bank to approve and fund our loan for the house in Bay Area in a matter of hours. — He is involved in every aspect and makes it a really smooth process. In the South Bay Area where there are multiple bids, and over the top cash offers the relationships and reputation of the agent makes a difference in whether you get your home. You cannot go wrong with Amar! Print this entry

The Extra Mile: That’s how we’d sum our experience with Amar. As a first time home buyer with a demanding job, purchasing a home seemed like a daunting task. We were amazed how Amar mastered knowing our needs in detail, and immediately found options that were perfect for us, both personally and financially. Within a month, we managed to make an offer, close, and move in to our first home. We’ve been thrilled with our choice ever since. Amar started with us from ground zero that is from getting pre-approval, introducing most sought out neighborhood in Menlo Park, showing the best schools in California, detailed information about the neighborhood like safety, what the neighborhood means for the kids. Amar connected me to loan officer, Jazzy singh, in his team, who was nothing short of stellar in assisting me in the loan process starting from pre-approval to closing the loan despite big obstacles with my specific situation, Amar and Jazzy worked hand in hand to resolve all the issues on time under stressful circumstances. Starting from making an offer, Amar thought through the whole thing very carefully, in spite of the property being in most sought out neighborhood and multiple offers on property for beyond the list price, he got the property $50k less than the list price, he got us the inspection with no cost done, went through the inspection reports and educated how it can be taken care, if it is not for his education and getting 80% discount ($8000) on the termite, we might have lost the property thinking the cost of fixing is enormous. Amar went an extra mile to not only to get the $50K less on the list price under multiple offer situation, but he negotiated to pay a few thousand dollars by the seller, he saved thousands of dollars at the every step of closing the escrow. He worked with loan officer to get $7000 credit. Above that he lined up other things for me like getting the termite done with mere $2500, where the same would’ve coasted $10,500, and also getting other inspections done without me physically there. He not only saved thousands of dollars in the whole transaction but also time, that way I was able to take care of personal life and yet got the best deal of the life. Amar is enthusiastic, energetic, powerful person, with exceptional negotiating expertise, excellent knowledge about the real-estate, and he has huge network of people, which is required to get the steal of a deal, it is like buying a house from Costco or whatever is you favorite whole-seller. Amar is one stop shop for home buying and owning and I will recommend him for anyone. Thank you so much Amar Print this entry

SAMARPITA SARKAR | Senior Research Associate July 20, 2020, SAMARPITA was a client of Amar -- Jul 2020

My husband and I had a great experience working with Amar and Sri. We were looking for our 1st home in the Bay area. Being a first time home buyer, we were extra cautious looking for a Realtor® who could help us in our journey to find our dream home. That’s when we came across Amar and Sri. We just contacted them through Zillow and immediately we got the confirmation of our first e-meet. Amar’s first email started with a line, “HOMEOWNERSHIP is the partnership and commitment between the Realtor® and Buyer.” This resonated with us a lot. That’s when we realized we have picked the right people to work with. Amar walked us through the entire home buying process step by step. He put together an extremely organized strategy with his Real Estate partner Sri. He was thorough with the entire process starting from market research until closing. He emphasized on TEAMWORK and ensured everyone’s contribution was on time to close on our dream home. Sri would discuss every house we came across in the market and point out the pros and cons of them. She was always so cheerful yet very technical. She patiently worked with us to choose the right home in terms of its value. She went deep into knowing what exactly we are looking for and intersected with her vision of what we should be looking for, in terms of value of a property, its locality and other technical aspects. Amar and Sri did a wonderful job explaining the initial disclosure and eventually helping us put together a good offer. He did a fantastic job negotiating with the seller thereby keeping everyone happy. They were personally involved in all areas viz. Escrow process, Loan, and closing. It was sheer teamwork and their experience that helped us to finish the entire process from finding the right home until close within 22-23days. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Sri and Amar and we would highly recommend them. Print this entry

Rajavelu Balaji | Network Engineer October 31, 2011, Rajavelu was Amar’s client -- Oct 2011

I was introduced to Amar by a good friend of mine. After meeting with Amar, I understood that I was not just hiring a Realtor®. I understood that by hiring Amar, I hired a well seasoned, experienced person who commits to his clients. Amar first presented a road map for the whole process and guided me at each stage very patiently. Always he was relaxed and pleasant to deal with. In the process I have asked him several questions and he kindly answered them in detail. He treated the whole process like project and he finished tasks by the time agreed with seller, which gave great confidence about him. Amar understands his client’s need and taste and finds a house to match them. Also he responds to every email/call very quickly. At several stages, when seller or seller agent disagreed, I thought I may not get this house, but he never paused for a moment. He just workaround and finished the deal. At every stage he made sure that everyone in our family was happy about the house. Amar never pushed me on anything; he explained things and stood aside until I make decision. When seller and his agent said that they will not pay anything toward closing cost, he went and negotiated and got nearly 3K in credit from them. When shopping around for loan he introduces best loan officers who directly work in big banks and I got the best interest rate. He always stands by client side even if the situation comes to staining his business relationship with his associates. Amar also understood that I have a full time job and scheduled all the meetings as per my calendar. Also he helped to expedite and complete property inspection at short notice at no extra cost. He kept calling and checking even a month after closing the sale about any issues in the house. Looking back, I didn’t have to do much work to get the house. Amar took care of most of the work. One cannot go wrong by working with Amar. At the end, I not only got a good house, but also a good friend, Amar Print this entry

My home buying experience with Amar was exceptional! I had the opportunity to work with Amar and Sri and their excellent team. I honestly thought that I would get approved for the loan. After relentless efforts of providing documents after documents, I was in awe of not getting the loan approved. I was sad and annoyed, and then comes the rescue time for me when I came across Amar information through Zillow. Right from my first connection with Amar, I knew in my heart that my dream of buying a home would come true. Within days of working with Amar and his team, I was approved for my loan, and thereby, my house hunting journey started. Sri made an exceptional effort in letting us know of the good schools and the area that will be best for my kids in the long run and me. I was able to secure a house within a month and a half of working with Amar, and that too during covid. There are so many steps into the home buying process. Amar and his team made an extraordinary effort to negotiate and win the house. They also made sure that the price is right, which I came to know after my house appraisal. Amar made sure that we achieved our key milestones during the home buying process, and the experience was smooth. I am so grateful to Amar and the team. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to buy a house in the bay area! Print this entry
