Amar and Sri have been thoroughly professional in guiding us through the home buying experience. May it be the idea of writing a letter to the seller (which I learnt later proved to be one of the unique points of our offer), or guiding me in what a good offer price would be, or suggesting a lender who would adhere to the 21 day closing contract. Amar was instrumental in orchestrating the entire Escrow, loan and closing process with stringent timelines. He referred me to lender for the loan and they were able to beat interest rates offered by other lenders. Amar put in a lot of effort during the offer negotiation phase. His negotiation skills came to the forefront when he prevented the seller from going into the phase of presenting counter offers. His reviews on yelp and LinkedIn tell you the truth about him and how he goes about getting what his clients need. Amar has always been reachable and promptly responds to all phone calls and emails. This built a great amount of confidence in us that we are in good hands during the home buying experience. We are a family of four and this is our first home buying experience. It certainly relieved us that Amar and Sri are working for us and we can go about our daily routing without losing sanity thinking about the home buying process. His proactive point of execution and status update emails meant we need not spend time calling someone to know in what stage of the process we are in. Sri has, from the beginning, been giving us honest updates about the house, locality and surroundings of the house. She has always been approachable and been more than a friend in letting us know the process updates and also appraising us about the next steps that would come. Both of them have gone out of their way to recommend us ways and means to improve the home in a cost-effective way. This relationship with Amar and Sri will definitely continue for our future home buying process and I would recommend Amar to anyone who talks to me about a Realtor®.Print this entry

We got referred to Amar through a friend who had an enjoyable buying experience a couple of years ago. Ours was a complicated scenario as we wanted to sell our current home and then find a new one to buy. So, we needed a rent back and also had to find a home that meets our needs within this time frame. To say that Amar did a great job with both selling and buying will be an understatement. He helped us sell the home during the holiday/COVID times and got our dream home in the first attempt. I have worked with different Realtors® before, but Amar & Sri handle things differently. Few things that stand out are: 1) Before you start the process, expectations are set on what everybody’s role is. So, there are no surprises. 2) Once you like a home, they will not leave any stone unturned until you get your offer accepted. 3) Amar’s attention to detail – a few minor tweaks made to our offer helped us win the offer during the last minute. 4) Amar has a great team working for you and supporting you through the whole buying and selling process. We are so happy to have worked with Amar and strongly recommend Amar and team for your housing needs. Thanks Print this entry

I was introduced to Amar by one of my very good collegue and friend. I was looking to buy but didn’t know anything about the real estate market or how to go about buying a house. After our intial conversations, I met with Amar and he asked me if I can trust him and I said yes. Looking back, I realized that trust is such an important part of this whole process and having the right person that is guiding you thru it is extremely critical. Honestly, Amar made the whole homebuying process too easy. He told me through out the process to not worry and to keep faith. I kept asking him if things were ok and he kept saying ‘ Don’t worry.. the house is yours! ‘. He went up and beyond what he said he would do and I’m truly appreciative and grateful for that. The whole team working with him are solid rockstars who really care about Amar and his clients. I feel so blessed to have met him and get his help in acquiring the house of my dreams. No one believes that I was able to purchase a house so quickly and with so much ease. THANK YOU AMAR!!!! Print this entry

Negotiation skills, strategy and excellent support team is what differentiates Amar and team. Finding home is 50-50% work between buyers and an agent. When you work with Amar, he provides the value in getting the deal done smoothly and effectively. Though Sri and Amar can help and guide about finding the right house, deciding the area, researching the local market etc… it is more of buyers choice. We liked one house and told Amar and Sri that we were interested. Amar did an excellent job advising us on home condition, value, local housing market, and overall area. Sri and Amar also pointed us in the right direction to find other relative information. Once we finalized that we want to put an offer for the house, he took over the process. Sri kept us in loop through out the process, during this time I witnessed how right strategy, negotiation skills and process works the wonder. Amar was clear and calm during the process and ultimately finalized the house for us. From the time we liked the house and told Amar and Sri about it, it baraly took a day to put an offer and within 2 days offer was accepted. Amar and team’s support continued to be there even after loan process was over. Whole loan process was smooth and fast. Here is where I saw how much difference it makes to have an excellent support team. When you work with Amar, you actually work with experianced team of professionals, where each member has a specific role and they execute on it without any flaws. We got the house in very first offer. Ours was not the highest offer. During negotiation phase, at one point, I was willing to increase offer by 20k but Amar advised against it and followed his strategy to win the house for us. It is rare to get house in first offer in current market. Individual experience will be different but I can tell that when you work with Amar, at right time, with right strategy, sooner or later he will get you in the house of your liking. Amar is a sincere, professional and trustworthy Realtor®. He is in this occupation because that is what he likes to do. He takes pride in the deals he makes and does the transactions as his own.

We were new home-buyers and expected to purchase in a few months. Process had been pretty swift and we were able to close-out the deal close to two months of time. Amar had been prompt in responding and assisting. The interactive property search website was easy to browse and had better details than other websites in the internet. Request to view property were timely. e-document signing process during bidding & contracts was organized and had been a BIG time-saver. It is better that buyer does some home-work and be prompt in making various decisions. In spite of that we did some self-study, there were times we might have been getting off-track. Amar and his team were prompt to keep us on the right track based on their extensive bay-area real-estate experience and prevailing market-demands. Besides home-buying, escrow signing process, Amar’s team also recommends competitive bank loans, home insurance and home-warranty at the right time.If needed, any recommendation could also be provided for the property-repairs. Overall discussion process has been prompt, clear, direct, friendly and polite. Not only above-state reasons, Amar also offers genuine advice to buyers for building long-term real-estate portfolio. I highly recommend potential buyers to choose Amar’s team for real-estate services. Print this entry

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 Mani Print this entry

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.

What a pleasure was to work with Amar and his team! Amar is a superb agent, providing us with excellent service .He is very responsive, timely, and professional. Quick and efficient, Amar was involved in every stage of this journey. We were looking in a very competitive area and the house had a lot of interest, so we weren’t sure whether we would be able to get it. He helped us close the deal among many potential interests. He got us a great price, a good discount from the lender, and brought us, incredibly smooth, to close of escrow in just 2 weeks. I want to thank the team for all their hard work in helping to locate the perfect house in Los Gatos. With all your help we were able to find the perfect property for us. Print this entry
