Amar, Sri, and their team were very helpful in buying our first home. They made the home hunting and buying process super easy for us.
Initially, everything looked so complex and confusing for me as a new home buyer. Amar was very patient in educating us on the current market conditions and what to expect. After understanding our requirements, Sri helped us narrow down the possible search areas and suggested a few sample homes on the market for exploration.
We were in the housing market for 3-4 months. We extended an offer for a couple of houses unsuccessfully. Amar and Sri asked us to be patient. Amar was very diligent in checking the structural aspects of the properties and provided great insights into inspection reports that helped us to make the right choice.
Sri helped us with the final choice of the property. Amar made a compelling offer based on his experience and worked through the details. Once the offer was accepted, he devised an aggressive timeline to close the deal and assemble the task list with ownership. Amar followed up closely till the deal was completed.
We are very thankful to Amar, Sri, and the team for all their help in buying our first home. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in the bay area.

One of my close friends referred me to Amar, which was the best thing to happen in my home-buying process.
From the very start, the entire process was seamless. Amar had an initial connection with me to understand my requirements and budget. After the analysis, he laid out a step-by-step approach to the home-buying process, which was very structured and understandable for any newcomer in the real estate market.
Considering the extensive competition in the bay area real estate market, Amar and his team made the home-buying process much simpler than I thought.
Throughout the entire journey, Amar’s professionalism and dedication were very evident. His extensive knowledge of the bay area market and the network that he had, made the home buying and closing process much more seamless and easier for us as first-time buyers. He made sure that we really liked the home and made us understand the process instead of making a rushed decision in this competitive market. He was friendly and patient and treated us like family.
Once the offer was made, Amar made appropriate negotiations for offer acceptance. After the offer acceptance, he and his team made an action tracker with the milestones and the responsible person, which helped us understand the closing process very easy and refer to it till the end of the closing process.
Amar has a great network of lenders, insurance, and other professionals who were ready to help us in the best possible way, which made our life much easier in the home-buying process.
Overall, I am extremely happy and satisfied with working with Amar and the team in my home-buying process. I highly recommend Amar as Realtor for any home-buying/selling process in this highly complex and competitive bay area market.
THANK YOU, Amar, Sri, and the team, for all your Support and Guidance in my home-buying process.

I am writing this to appreciate you, Sri and your team for your extra ordinary services that you have given to us . As a first time Home Buyers, we were very new to the housing market which I believe one of the most competitive Bay area real estate markets. You people are obviously helped us from very beginning; correcting our credit score to Lending process and to getting the home keys.
We would like to appreciate your sure-fire negotiation skills, communication abilities and the insight regarding the real estate industry. The process happened in such well organized way which was the most turning point for winning the deal and we are highly satisfied. Thank you Amar, Sri and your team for such a lovely experience. We would love to work with you in future and highly recommend your services to everyone.

Amar and Sri are a great asset to anyone getting onto the homeownership journey. We started with our home-buying process by having a detailed conversation with Amar. He explained to us the end-to-end process and clarified the accountable portions of the process. We were mostly held responsible for the home we liked before Sri shared her feedback on the homes.
As buyers, we often look at homes from a different live-ability angle but miss the broader picture. This is where Sri comes in and shares her thoughts. Once we pass Sri's lens, Amar will go over the other aspects. Amar and Sri guided us to make an informed decision towards making an offer. Amar goes above and beyond to get the home you are interested in within your budget. With Sri taking care of the communication aspect, you are always in the loop.
And the day came when we got a call stating the offer was accepted. I can't forget this day, and we were super thrilled. It did not end there. Amar and Sri ensured that we went from offer to closing with a strong team of lenders, home insurance & warranty specialists & escrow officers.
Overall, we had an exceptional home-buying experience with Amar, Sri, and Team, especially in a competitive environment like the Bay Area. I want to end this review by stating, "Amar and Sri are a deadly combination, and you will thank me later for this review."

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for all the hard work and dedication in helping us find our dream home during a tough buyer's market. Your expertise, patience, and commitment to finding the perfect single-family home for us were invaluable, and I cannot thank you enough for your guidance and services.
As you know, the current real estate market in the bay area has been quite challenging for buyers, with limited inventory and fierce competition for available properties. Despite these obstacles, you never gave up on finding the right home for me, and your perseverance and determination ultimately paid off.
Your team's attention to detail and ability to understand our specific needs and preferences were remarkable. You were always available to answer our questions and kept us informed throughout the process. I truly appreciate your time and effort in helping me find our new home.
We are thrilled with our new home and grateful for the support throughout the buying process to ensure we could close in record time, which was one of the key requirements of the seller. Your professionalism and dedication to your clients are admirable, and I will recommend your services to anyone I know looking to buy or sell a home.
Our kids love the new home with a great backyard for playing and fun!

Amar and Sri,
Working with Amar and Sri was an absolute pleasure. Despite hearing that first homes rarely dream homes in the Bay Area, they made our impossible dream a reality through their unwavering dedication to our vision. They made the home-buying process effortless, and Amar even took the time to understand the intricacies of the process and every aspect of our new home and neighborhood, giving us a glimpse into what our life there would be like.
Amar demonstrated exceptional negotiating skills in securing an off-market (coming soon) home in a coveted neighborhood. Despite facing losing the opportunity, Amar and Sri managed to secure the property by getting into a contract by working around the clock. Amar's outstanding teamwork made the closing process smooth and enjoyable, even with the inevitable bumps. In fact, they successfully closed the deal in a remarkable 18 days. Kudos to Amar and his team for their impressive work!
During the nerve-wracking period between making an offer, accepting the contract, and closing the house, Sri provided invaluable support and guidance. Despite the immense pressure and anxiety we experienced during this time, Sri made it her priority to address our concerns and answer any questions we had. Her unwavering availability and responsiveness to our messages and calls supported us throughout the process.
The level of commitment that Amar and Sri demonstrate toward their clients is truly remarkable. We feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to partner with such a fantastic team for the purchase of our first home. I highly recommend "Amar Realtors" for making the dream home a reality

Our Sincere Thanks to Amar, Sri, and the Team.
We have no words to express our gratefulness to Sri and Amar, who helped us find our new single-family home in the desired location.
We never imagined buying a home in this competitive market, but Amar, Sri, and the team helped us to find our new home.
Regarding Amar, he was the one who helped us to make the closing process go smoothly. He was an instrumental and process-orientated person who thoroughly explained the home-buying process, including Disclosures and Reports, and guided us on various strategies. Amar is a great negotiator and gets things done on time without compromise. Once we provided the input to offer the price, Amar and his team did the whole process, and we had nothing to worry about. Within 21 days, we got the keys. We are not pressured to find our Lender, Home Insurance, or Home Warranty. Everything was taken care of by Amar’s team.
Amar and the Team are honest, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We have had an excellent experience working with them.
We highly recommend them to anyone who has any idea about buying a new Home or Selling a Home.

Buying our first home has been an exciting journey, and it was great to be supported by a dedicated and knowledgeable team Amar and Sri.
We didn't expect the amount of teamwork required to achieve this, but we were grateful for everyone's dedicated efforts.
We liked the framework initially suggested by Amar, clearly defining the roles and ownership percentage at the beginning of this process.
The process was very streamlined, and we sent properties we were interested in. Amar and Sri would evaluate the technical and value perspectives of the house and give us their deep-dive insights. This was very useful, especially for first-time home buyers.
The process of looking at houses until submitting offers went like clockwork. We presented homes we were interested in Sri, and she responded with opinions on the house's value based on different conditions. She has a keen eye for details and was able to catch things that we missed. Her feedback was very useful to remember when we looked at the houses. We like how Sri encouraged viewing certain homes outside our initial interests and showed us the value of properties we may need to look into. It was great to get information about the long-term prospects of a property, and it gave us the confidence to proceed to the next steps.
It was only during the first offer that we learned that there was a lot of manual work handled by Amar to prepare and submit the offer. Technical details of the house are always critical, and it was great to know that Amar was going through these details and looking out for us. After a thorough review, he would give a deep dive into all the technical aspects of the house as well as walk us through all the paperwork. Finally, based on our interest and their evaluation, we mutually decided to make an offer. Our offer was accepted before the open house and $49K below the listing price. In addition to all this, Amar has an amazing network of people who ensured that the entire closing process was very smooth.
Overall, it has been an amazing journey, and it was great working with Amar and Sri. We recommend the Amar Realtor team to any of our friends buying a home.

It has been an incredible journey with Amar and Sri. We were referred by one of our family friends, who were also helped by them.
The journey started with Amar taking us through the entire process step by step. The finances, budget, EMI calculations, selection process and eventually closing process. He explained a lot of new aspects we hadn’t thought of, and was patient with our noob questions as well.
Amar takes care of the paperwork, finances and coordination with Escrow, Financer, Home Warranty, and all other parties involved in the process. He’s regular with updates and clear in communication.
Sri on the other hand has sound knowledge of every property, area, pros cons, resale value etc. Her inputs have invaluable in eliminating options most importantly.
The best part was, Amar and Sri were not ‘looking to sell’, rather just guide us through the journey and help us make the educated choice. Also, ours wasn’t the highest bid, yet it was accepted, due to proper strategies by Amar!
They made the process seamless and educative!

We are first-time home buyers in the United States, and the Bay Area is a very challenging place to buy a home. Amar's team helped us navigate through the process in a very smooth manner. We had a clear idea of the locality in which we wanted a home - for everything else; we had Amar and Sri Amar. Their team thoroughly gave detailed technical aspects of each property - details we would have missed otherwise. Amar got us a great offer on a home we liked - and we landed our home with the first offer we made. Amar's team also introduced us to the lenders and other contractors once we had received possession of the home. We liked their professionalism and responsiveness throughout the process. We would give their team a 5/5 and definitely recommend them to home buyers.

With Amar and his team’s help, we closed on our first home. We accomplished our homeownership success in less than 7 weeks from the time we engaged with Amar on our home search, which is something we could have never imagined. Our experience throughout this process has been extremely delightful and filled with learning.
To begin, our needs were based only on the location and budget. Amar and Sri helped us understand the importance of community and the long-term value of any property that interests us.
It was easy to sway into being emotionally drawn into offer competitions. But again, the solid guidance from Amar helped us stick to a clear set of rules which we realize now was the most sensible approach.
We learned all the steps to evaluate a property and develop a suitable offer.
We understood all the details involved in the loan process, and advice from your team at each step was extremely helpful.
Amar negotiation skills left us spellbound. Getting a deal way below the asking price is always a buyer’s delight.
Ultimately, we understand that seasoned Real Estate agents like Amar, Sri, and the team are the most important partners to families in their homeownership journey.

Both Amar and Sri are amazing to work with. Sri's knowledge about community has helped us immensely in deciding which house to go for and which one not to. It was our first home, and we were unaware of many things. Amar Realtor helped us understand each step of buying a home in detail and negotiated the best deal!

Namaskaram,
It’s a pleasure working with Amar, Sri Amar, and Team. Not enough words to express their commitment.
I set out to buy a single-family home in the Bay area with a bare minimum down payment and a low budget. After checking out a few houses, I realized my no’s were unreal. Amar connected me to a great lender who helped me find ways to get updated pre-approvals throughout the process.
I covered almost all avail houses under my budget in San Jose. Sri Amar’s knowledge of areas/properties is impeccable. She always makes sure only the right property is chosen.
I had previously heard Amar is a good negotiator. Witnessed his skills in my case. He negotiated such a great price that whoever I mentioned the cost to was awe-stuck!!! I wish I had the opportunity to see the negotiations.
The process was very smooth. The Team just carried me through various parts of the process without hassles.
I remember talking to Amar on our 1st Zoom call and the picture of Krishna Arjuna (Parthasarathi and Partha) on the battlefield.
Analogy - I was like Partha. I kept looking for properties and completed formalities; that’s pretty much it. But it was Amar, Sri Amar, and the Team who were the charioteer(Parthasarathi) of the entire process to help me reach the destination.
I couldn’t have asked for more from Amar, Sri Amar, and Team.

We cannot say enough about our incredible working experience with Amar and Sri. As first-time home buyers, we had all the doubts in the world. Amar and Sri helped us to become homeowners as our Realtors. With the market uncertainties, we were about to pull out. Still, Sri was always available for us, laid out the bigger picture, and pointed out all the positives. From identifying the house, in terms of locality suitable for kids to home value appreciation, we were well supported and informed. Amar has a well-connected network in the Real Estate industry, which helped in the financing, escrow, etc., and quickly putting together a winning offer in multiple offers situations. Amar spent sufficient time with us and reviewed all the disclosures/reports. We are sharing our home-buying experience as a way for us to profusely thank Amar and Sri for helping us with such a huge step in our lives.

My recent home-selling experience with Amar's services was amazing! He made our condo selling very easy. Amar is very professional in marketing and offered great assistance with paperwork and the Escrow process. He was very patient with us and totally understood our needs. He took care of all the tasks and let us focus on our family. Our Home Photo shoot with professional photographs/Videos/3D Tour was stunning, giving a completely different look to our property. He also provides responsibilities for each step on who does what, good tracking of steps, and explains details very well.
Amar's core strengths are marketing, execution, and negotiation to take home sales to the next level by going above and beyond. We were fortunate to have worked with Amar, and he met our needs for successfully closing this transaction.
Thank you so much, Amar, for your help in selling our Home! We had truly a pleasant experience.

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!

Amar is the best thing that can happen to prospective homebuyers, both first-time as well as investment homebuyers alike. Right from the get go, Amar offers very candid advice on the whole home buying process. This can be especially useful to first time homebuyers as they navigate the complex maze of property ownership. He explains everything in clear and simple terms so that the homebuyers are very clear about what to expect in the coming weeks and months as they progress towards property ownership.
Amar makes it a point to visit all the listed properties along with his clients. He scrutinizes each property with a sharp eye and offers critical advice on the pros and cons of each property. His approach is very methodical. In many cases he will identify points in a property which the prospective buyers have overlooked and will also steer them away from properties that may not be potentially viable options for the homebuyers.
Once the desired property has been identified is when Amar ‘really’ swings into action. His negotiation skills are par none. Additionally he is very creative in putting options on the table which greatly benefits the buyer. His combination of negotiating skills, creativity and patience in the whole process ends up saving the homebuyers a lot (and I mean a lot) of money.
Finally, Amar has a terrific network of professionals working with him. He has some very fine loan agents, property inspectors, appraisers etc who all ‘turn on a dime’ in order to make the deal go through successfully in the shortest possible time. At the end of the process, the homebuyer (now the homeowner) feels very happy and satisfied with the property.
The best part is that Amar takes a personal interest in every transaction and works on it as if it was his own. And with his surefire negotiating skills he saves everyone a lot of cash and stress. I’d recommend Amar over anyone else to represent you for all your real estate transactions. Look no further. Amar has your back!

Sri & Amar are absolutely the people you want on your side if you are in the market to purchase or sell your home, especially if it's your first. As a first-time homebuyer, you are clueless and intimidated by the whole process. Sri and Amar always made us comfortable and taught us so much.
They have a step-by-step process in place where Amar provides guidance over the inspection reports and detailed walkthroughs of the disclosures, and Sri helps you with the hidden aspects of the house, like the neighborhood, future value for the house, and schools. They were upfront about the buying process and have a great understanding of what it took to get into a home in the Bay Area market. What I found most helpful was their ability to dig in to get answers resolved, as well as answer questions as they arose while we were searching. They have an excellent understanding of the current market and their estimates are spot on.
The fact that we ended up buying our house in less than a month since we began our search is a testimony to how effective they are. They were never pushy or imposing when we didn't want to make an offer as high as expected on a few listings and shared effective strategies for placing the right bids on the listings we wanted to make an offer to, which basically landed our current home. What blows my mind is how they were able to secure the house for us when there were better offers on the table.
They are also extremely resourceful and will go way above their duties to work out any issues or problems that might arise during the home transaction as well as provide quick solutions to such issues. We found that there were some broken glasses on the day of closing, which was not there before we had seen the house. They convinced the listing agent to get it fixed from the seller's end.
Sri and Amar are extremely accommodating and professional. They have a great rating for a reason. We will work with them again in the future. 10/10 would recommend.

Hands down, Amar is one of the best real estate agents in Bay Area! We were looking for a home in Los Altos/Palo Alto in crazy market where each home was receiving 5+ offers at minimum. Amar was able to find a beautiful home for us and at extremely good value. Amazingly, he won the deal for $40K less than the highest offer. How did he do it? He put extremely enticing offer to seller almost equivalent to cash offer, but not really a cash offer! Seller accepted our offer over the highest offer. Very few agents are skilled enough to execute the way Amar does. Amar’s amazing execution, negotiation skills, and offer strategy, bar none. He negotiated close to $15K towards the closing costs – saving us almost $55K in addition to finding extremely valuable property which we both agree can be sold for $200K above what we bought for in this market.
He negotiated to make it a win-win situation for us and the seller. He also project managed the entire process super efficiently (for e.g. working with loan agent, keeping seller agent warm, Home warranty, Escrow, Funding, Recording, etc). Our file was complex, but Amar & Yogesh (loan agent) totally nailed it.
Here are some of Amar’s pros for buyers out there. Amar –
– Understands bay area market really well.
– Evaluates each home as if he was looking for his own family
– Does not waste time bidding on properties which do not provide value for his buyers
– Negotiates and puts an extremely compelling offer which is sure to save buyer’s hard-earned dollars
– Guides through the entire process which is really priceless
– Is a nice person by heart!
If you are looking to buy a property without Amar, you are truly missing out an opportunity!

Being a first time home buyer in this market, it was essential for me to understand the various nuances at various steps in the process and you have been the ultimate guide for me all along. From the moment we decided to buy a home just a couple of days before meeting you till the day we got the keys to our current home, the process was so quick that we were living in our new home before we even realized. Everything happened with in 6 weeks of meeting you.
Your expertise in finding us the right home, negotiating the right deal (savings over 40K in price, upgrades, closing cost), and helping us with a great loan program was exceptional.

I started searching for homes in November of 2021 but could not win any offers with other Realtor. I quickly realized that having experienced realtors on your side would make a huge difference. I googled and found Amar listed as one of the top realtors in the Bay Area. I can proudly say that Amar and his team helped me move up and win the offer of $139K below the asking price.
Sri and Amar are very well-detailed, organized realtors and always on top of things. They are always happy to spend extra time to educate their customers in the best of their interests. He also has experienced team members under his umbrella from the title company, home warranty, home insurance, and mortgage lender. I strongly recommend Amar and Team if you want to buy a home in Bay Area.

Our first time Home buying would have been nerve- wracking and confusing, if Sri would not have helped us answer all the very small doubts that we had. Sri was always there for us and guided us throughout the whole process and gave us examples how we can make proper decisions on important items. She always responded to our phone calls and answered them with lots of patience and made us understand everything and made our first time home buying experience a really pleasant one.
Amar’s knowledge is tremendous in negotiating, with the agent and in writing attractive offer that helped us in getting the house we wanted. we were looking to buy our first home for many years now. We started to loose hope in getting our home. Then we met Amar through one of our friends reference. Amar gave us tremendous confidence, and in less than a month we made an offer and bought our first home.
Amar guided us through every step of the way and made our dream come true. I strongly recommend Amar and Sri as they have tremendous knowledge and good negotiating skills. God Bless Amar and Sri.

My family and I would like to thank Amar being such a wonderful Realtor®. He managed to do something many of the other Realtors® could not, he helped us find our dream home. When we first began looking for houses, we were having a very hard time since the housing market was so busy. Most of the Realtors® just seemed to be interested in selling houses as fast as they could manage but Mr. Amarnath took his time to help us find a house with everything we hoped for. With two daughters, one going to the sixth grade and the other going to the ninth grade, we had to pay attention to the schools as well as the home itself. In the end he saved us up to 6k on closing costs and 10K less than the authorized offer price.
Being the first time buyers with lot of things to understand he never let us feel as first time home buyers. Once we liked the house he worked at mercurial speed to make sure we got the house, at same time he made sure that nothing was overlooked. We are really impressed by his knowledge of sellers mindset. we are also really impressed the way he treated us like one of his family members and the in the whole process he acted as though he is buying the house for his own family member

It is with great pleasure that we write to recommend the services of Amar Amarnath Realtor extraordinaire. We were looking for an investment property with positive cash flow, in a great school area, and under the market price.
Amar is simply THE BEST. A true commitment for lifetime is what you get from Amar. He truly is a one-stop Realtor for buyer or seller or for short sale. He made the process very easy and painless for us. He listened to what we wanted and did not pressure us to look beyond the parameters we set. He showed us 40 possible houses and was very patient with us throughout our search over a period of 10 months.
Amar’s experience in short sale process is superior to none, and negotiated a great price for us. The entire process, from the day we started to look, signed a contract with him to be our Realtor to the day we closed on our house was a period of 10 months.
No Realtor will work and provide an excellent service over few weeks and doing this over such a long time speaks volumes about Amar’s commitment towards his clients. He is very kind and great with our toddlers during the whole process.
Amar recommended the very best in the field to aid us, from mortgage guy to house inspector to home insurance and saved lot of money in the process. His advice and guidance through this process was invaluable. His attention to detail, knowledge of the field and no-pressure approach were greatly appreciated.
We can't imagine going through this process with anyone but him. Anybody that buys or sells property in Bay Area and does not use Amar will surely have a less than optimal experience.

Hi Amar, I am very happy that I have chosen you as a realtor for selling my house. You gave me input and shared your insights to make my house ready for listing in the key and critical areas.
Eventually, all our efforts paid off, and we could sell my house at a record price considering the market condition. Also, another thing I liked about you is you have a very focused salesforce in the team. So, from listing to accepting the offer and finally getting the money in the bank went very smoothly for me.
Going back to hiring you as my realtor, I wondered why you were the best when I saw your name and rating from online searching as the best realtor in the valley.
So, after a quick discussion with you, my instincts told me to hire you even though my friends told me to hire someone even cheaper in terms of commission. After all the experience selling my house, I know why online rated you the best realtor in the bay area. You are a genius salesman and very focused on customer benefit. Finally, I rate you ten (10) out of ten (10) as a seller realtor.
Thank you for all your hard and dedicated work in selling my home in San Jose.

Amar is a rare and a very good realtor. He has a very good understanding of the real estate market, fair values and buyer/seller behaviors. This makes him the right person to include in critical real estate transactions like home buying/selling, especially, in times of economic volatility.
We have worked with Amar two times now in the past 5 years. In 2017, he and Sri first helped us buy our first home home. Then, in May 2022, Amar helped us sell that home as well. So, we have worked with Amar and his team very closely and seen them identify, negotiate and execute the deal both as a buyer's agent and seller's agent.
Regardless, of which group he is representing, not only does he sincerely look out for the client's best interest, but he goes over and beyond to understand all stakeholders involved in the transaction and their rationale/interests/motivations. This deeper level of understanding allows him and his team to craft and negotiate the deal in such a way, that everyone is able to work together and arrive at a fair agreement.
Furthermore, from a deal execution perspective, he has a carefully selected team of title agents, insurance agents, staging team and contractors who are very good people and seasoned. He ensures that everyone has a clear understanding of the process and timeline. As first-time home buyers and sellers, this has made our experience, a very good one. My wife and I highly recommend him for your real estate transaction.

We had a great experience working with Amar and his wife, Sri. They explained the process thoroughly and supported us in all the home-buying steps.
Few key things that stood out for Amar and his team were
- Extremely thorough. He would explain clearly all the steps (multiple times).
- Help us understand the fair value without pressuring us to bid higher.
- Provide insights and help us narrow down our search.
- Strong negotiator. They got us a home 5% lower than a previous offer seller rejected
- Strong network of real estate professionals. We had solid recommendation for insurance, security and all other things. Looking forward to contractors now ;)
I would highly recommend Amar and his team for all prospective home buyers.

We would happily and proudly recommend Amar and Sri to anyone in the housing market. They are the best in delivering client-first service in the competitive bay area housing market.
We reached out to Amar about buying a house and were amazed by his knowledge, patience, and systematic approach to home buying. During our first meeting, he explained to us all the steps and responsibilities of various stakeholders throughout the home buying process. He introduced us to Sri for further discussion on neighborhoods and their relative merits etc., based on our budget.
Sri provided immensely valuable feedback on the houses we shortlisted, and she is extremely diligent and quick in giving the input, which made the whole process prompt and thorough. She highlighted several aspects like return-on-investment, neighborhood, and affordability for each house, which helped us further shortlist the homes for the offer process.
Amar diligently explained the seller disclosures and home inspection reports for all the houses we shortlisted. He walked us through various aspects of those reports and how to estimate the impact of the issues listed in the reports on the overall house condition, repair costs, etc. He made this process extremely simple, informative, and confident for us. Both Amar and Sri gave their honest and fair opinion on each house we shortlisted, mentioning both pros and cons. This helped us understand the details that are generally overlooked by first-time homebuyers like us but are quite crucial.
During the offer process, Amar and Sri discussed the fair price, contingencies, etc., and continuously updated us about the discussions with the listing agent. Amar and Sri always have the clients' best interests throughout the process. They tirelessly worked for days preparing the best offer, negotiating with the listing agent, etc. Amar further negotiated and reduced the selling price even after signing the contract, demonstrating their dedication to the client's best interests.
We were extremely comfortable working with Amar and Sri throughout the process. They made all the conversations extremely pleasant and confident. We are forever indebted to them for helping us throughout this process. We cherish this first-time home buying experience with them forever.
Finally, to all the prospective homebuyers, we can confidently say that you will be in safe hands with Amar and Sri. We sincerely recommend you to go with them for all your real estate needs.

Being first time home-buyers and bidding on the first house we were completely clueless about the entire process. Amar, personally sat down with us and took the time to explain the whole process in detail. He was always available to answer any questions. By coming up with the right strategy and following it up with perfect execution, Amar helped us get the best possible deal in today’s hot property market. Amar, even co-ordinated with the loan and escrow officers to ensure that the loan closed on time with no last minute surprises.
Amar was on top of all the activities during the entire process. Thanks Amar for making our home buying experience a pleasurable one!! I will definitely recommend any of my friends to work with Amar in their home buying process.

Amar / Sri, It was pleasure working with you, I tried with other realtor before coming to you . We are just at the edge of losing hope . Just thought of trying with other realtor, by chance we met you. In our first meeting itself you gave us confidence & we believed in you. You just made the deal success with ease in the very first bid. Your strategy & your team’s close follow-up’s, hard work was the key to the successful closure of this deal . We were very happy when you were able to convince seller in coming down the price which saved us 15K. I definitely rate you on 5/5 with no second though. I already referred you to almost every one whom I know who is in market looking for a home. A Big THANK YOU to E=MC2

Home search and buying process in bay area can be very overwhelming, even more so if you are a first time home buyer!! We happened to be exactly in that boat when we started out to find our first home. We were clueless about locations, technical aspects of home that we need to consider when we began the search, we ended up Wasting a lot of our time just going to every open house that was listed on Redfin and Zillow. That is when we understood that we need a strong realtor to get a house in our budget in this crazy market.
In the search for a realtor, we came across Amar’s profile on internet and contacted him immediately after we saw a ton of positive feedback about his connections and work etiquette. Here I can’t emphasize enough on “who you work with matters”. From the very first call, Amar was crystal clear on the responsibilities, buying process and tasks we need to execute on to get us a new home.
Amar then introduced us to Sri (who we cant thank enough – she has amazing neighborhood knowledge) and set up clear resposnsibilites for each of us in the whole home search process.
From there on, there was just so much structure in our home search process and it saved us a bunch of time and effort. Sri would help review the houses that are worth looking at and once we both like the house, Amar would then do a deep dive on the technical aspects of the home. Once we 3 are on board with a house, we would go forward in discussing how to put an offer on the house.
The offer strategy and connections one has is very important in closing a house and Amar & Sri are known and respected by all agents. Matter of fact, every agent that we met in open houses knew and spoke very highly of them. With many competing offers, they made all the difference for us and helped us to get our first home !!
If you are in the market looking for a house. Look no further as Amar & Sri will help you pick the best house and also make sure you actually get it!!!

Our experience as first-time home buyers with Amar & Sri.
We recently bought our first single-family home after waiting a long time and seeing friends and families keep buying their dream homes. It would not have been possible without Amar & Sri.
Amar started with the basic questions about our goal and the type of homes and lifestyle. By the end of the call, we had our perfectly curated step-by-step process and each individual's responsibility in this teamwork of buying a home.
Our responsibility was to judge the house by living aspect and how it fulfills our dreams of having our own home.
Once we select the homes, Sri's part comes, where she guides us regarding important aspects of the house. Such as the Area/Neighborhood/Schools/community/Rentability, and most importantly, the future growth of the property.
Once we get a green signal from Sri, Amar's part comes, where he takes us through all technical aspects of the house. Such as inspection reports/disclosures/county records/property title/house's history, and other elements to ensure the house does not have any critical issues.
When comes the final part, where we all together discuss the expected selling prices of the house and decide, based on our affordability, if we want to move ahead with the offer. The most important part to note here is that the final decision doesn't involve any pressure, and our decision is pure and simple. And then came the moment of magic where our preemptive offer got accepted, which we still cannot believe.
Amar and Sri's guidance or support doesn't end here. They stay with you till the last moment of closing to ensure everything goes according to the plan and expectations, and they even helped us get the best possible interest rates for the loan.
We are a young couple who have just started our married life and wanted a mature realtor to help us find our dream home, which we found in Amar & Sri.
We recommend Amar & Sri if you want to buy your dream home without any pressure in the bay area's hot market with honest opinions.

First, thanks a ton for helping us own our first home in the US in an extremely competitive bay area. We are incredibly grateful to you.
Since the beginning, Amar set up multiple calls even during these COVID times. He had put in special care and effort to understand the hone owning processes and milestones even before we started the process. He was extremely patient and understanding to answer all our questions and concerns and gave us appropriate guidance.
Sri has been of generous support and was extremely helpful throughout the process as well. Especially for us, since it was the first time we were undertaking a big life decision. She took the time to carefully review all the houses we sent and give feedback on why the property works or doesn't work for our needs and helped us understand home values and factors impacting it. She was available throughout the process at all times. She scheduled visits keeping the COVID situation in mind. She made sure all the necessary precautions were taken at each visit. She was always helpful in guiding us throughout the experience.
Amar is extremely knowledgeable about the technical aspects. Once we finalized the house and wanted to go ahead, he was extremely proactive in offers and negotiations. He made our dream come true even if there was a $35,000 difference in the counter-offer price. The counter offers were quick, and the most efficient part was we didn't raise the price even in counters offers. Amar helped get us inspection reports and took time to schedule a call to explain every page of the report patiently. Even after the offer acceptance, he was always on top of all the processes. Amar was updating us at every single step.
We are extremely happy with Amar and Sri and definitely will share our experience with all our friends. We will surely recommend Amar to anyone thinking about a home purchase because they are incredibly efficient and knowledgeable agents. They are excellent people and very passionate about what they do and love to help people from the bottom of their hearts.
Thank you for everything.

and Sri took a “shared responsibility” approach towards helping us land
our home. He was extremely clear in terms of what makes buyers stand
out amongst competition and helped us put offers together that made
us clear favorites.

Amar,
Thank you very much for all your help with my home purchases. It is wonderful experience working with you. It was awesome to get these properties at the list prices, even in this hot sellers’ market and crazy bidding. You have been very prompt and process oriented. You have proven time and again, clients best interest all the time in actions and results. This helped me in staying on top of things from my side, especially with all my time constraints. Your help with the loan, insurance, current tenants’ agreements, and escrow process made my job very easy. I really appreciate your help in going extra mile in saving me big $$$ in closing costs by negotiating with the lender and the seller agent. With your team, securing the loan and closing the escrow in 3 weeks was great. Truly, you have gone above and beyond with exceptional service to make entire process very easy and pleasant. Overall, I am very happy and super satisfied with your “complete package” help in realizing my real estate dreams.
Thanks,

After talking with several selling agents, we decided to entrust the sale of our San Jose home to Amar and his team. One of the primary factors driving the decision was a great previous home-buying experience with Amar & Sri in 2016.
I want to focus my feedback on 2 aspects - the process and the results.
The Process
This was my first time selling a home. I needed some general guidance about the process. Amar was patient and gracious about answering my questions. His responsiveness is excellent, which helps to reduce anxiety in this high-stakes and high-stress endeavor. He has a tried & tested process document that lists the various steps and owners of these steps - this helps to provide a clear picture of what to expect in the weeks to come. During the escrow closing, he kept us well informed about progress and provided adequate assurance about things being on track while being an efficient conduit of information between the buyers and us.
The only part of the process that lacked clarity was the extent of Amar’s involvement with the contractors that help with home readiness. On the positive side, I was comfortable conveying this to Amar. We were able to proceed constructively following a frank discussion.
The Results
I am very pleased to say that Amar delivered on the stretch goal concerning the sale price. He runs a lean ship with a crew experienced in setting and achieving bold goals.
He generated 8 purchase offers and followed that up with an 18-day escrow closing on the highest offer. The sale price ended up being at the top of the range that Amar had given us in our very first conversation. I do think these results speak volumes about his experience and expertise in reading homes and markets.
In conclusion, my family and I are very glad to have chosen Amar & his team. This was our second home transaction with him, and I know that he will be our go-to person for any of our future endeavors in the Bay Area’s housing market.
We wish him and his team the best of everything, and I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a professional and reliable ally in home buying and selling.

Finding a house in the Bay Area is an arduous task. After bad experiences with a few realtors over several months, who were just trying to sell us any properties, we stumbled upon Amar and Sri. When we met them we were ready to move to Seattle with little to no hopes of finding our dream abode here in the Bay Area.
With strategic guidance from Sri, we were able to laser focus on specific areas in the bay that met our needs.
Sri and Amar are technical experts in their profession. They rejected more properties we shortlisted than they approved due to technical deficiencies. This is what we were looking in our realtor partners and we knew that this terrific couple are not here to “sell”, they are here to guide us through an investment decision that is best for us in the long term in a timely manner!
Within just 24 days of getting introduced to Sri & Amar, we were able to successfully get under contract for a house we absolutely loved. This would not have been possible without Sri’s daily advice and Amar’s gifted negotiation skills!
Guys don’t fall for agents that are here for a transaction with you. Contact Sri & Amar and you’ll quickly find out you are in trusted hands. They will get the job done for you with ease!!!
This is our 4th house in the USA and by far the BEST home buying experience in the most aggressive market!! Thank you Sri & Amar, with gratitude from our family!🙏

Amar and Sri,
We are delighted to pick up the keys to our first home in this country. To win an offer in the Bay Area hot market is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you for orchestrating this home-buying journey for us. This being our first home, you are now the foundation of the memories we will build over the years to come. Thank you for making this happen, and we couldn't be more excited.
To begin with, we had a great experience from the get-go. You walked us over the process, connected us to the relevant parties involved in the journey, and showed us the right way to pursue this goal. Your years of experience and domain expertise were evident throughout the process. We heard about your offer-winning capabilities before making this offer, and we now know what it meant. Come the offer time, and we could witness the craft and diligence of your trade.
We found your approach unique. You took the time to call the seller and explain our offer's aspects and why it stands out. I can imagine this would instantly establish to the seller that we are serious buyers. We won this offer because of the diligent aspects of the offer you put together and how you presented it to the seller. Also, thank you for keeping your clients' best interests throughout the process. We were working with multiple lenders to secure a good interest rate. That meant quite a bit of confusion on the backend with multiple appraisals and lenders coordinating with realtors and escrow. Thank you for handling it swiftly and not letting it affect the buyers during the closing process.
Specifically for Sri – we found your opinions and suggestions extremely valuable. When we spoke, you remembered every tiny aspect of the house, and I always wondered how! Your passion and commitment are unparalleled. When I asked you questions, you not only answered them, but you addressed the source of the question and pointed us to the aspects we would have otherwise missed. So a very heartfelt thank you.
Overall, we are grateful to have crossed paths with you. As we begin to establish our roots, you will always be remembered as the ones that made it happen—our heartfelt gratitude to you and your team.

We worked with Amar and Sri to purchase our first home in San Jose in a tough competitive market. Amar and Sri are very methodical in their approach and explain all the phases of the home buying process very well. We were first-time home buyers and had been in the market for a long time as we could not get good representation from a redfin agent earlier. After taking a break from the home search process, one of our colleagues referred us to Amar. After the first meeting, Amar explained the entire process in detail. He explained how he is different from other agents and provided us with a detailed sharing of each task and responsibility. This was similar to taking up a new project and having mentors guiding you throughout the project.
After a couple of weeks of going through open houses, Sri helped us decide which house makes sense in various aspects, including future value, appraisal, locality/neighborhood, schools, potential expansion options, etc. Sri's guidance was helped us in making the right decisions. Amar is also thorough in reviewing inspection reports and all other documents related to property, walking over each detail with us, and addressing all our questions. Amar and Sri helped us decide on the offer details and helped us make the right decisions at the right time, which allowed us to win the house. We won the first offer that we put with Amar. This was possible because of Amar's negotiations, continuous efforts, and agent networking. We are super excited, and everything is going smoothly. During the closing process, we faced challenges with the sellers. The seller doesn't want to sell the home. The seller feels that his house is worth a lot more and has high buyer demand, and he wants to back off the home sale. Amar went above and beyond to get us all the help and resources from the legal side to honor the signed contract to sell the house to us. In the end, the sellers agreed to sell the home to us and closed on time. It would not be possible without Amar's vast experience dealing with such challenges.
The entire process with Amar and Sri was very smooth and exceeded our expectations. Amar has an excellent team of people working with him. Everyone stayed on top of their responsibility in closing this deal on time. We will recommend Amar and Sri to all my friends interested in buying a house in this competitive bay area housing market. We appreciate all your efforts in winning the best home for us. Thank you so much, Amar and Sri.

We went to Amar with a house in mind which was listed well below market rate. Although the house was fixer upper, we asked Amar to evaluate it potential and if there are any risks. Amar and Sri did a detailed evaluation of the house and provided us a report and walked us through it.
Next we decided to bid for the house, Amar help us won the bid among many potential house bids. Also we were not the highest cash offer but still he was able to get us the house. There were some delays on our loan process but Amar was able to convince the seller agent to keep patience and continue through the process. Amar managed to get our house for us in peak housing market in a good area.
We would strongly recommend Amar for buying/selling needs..

My wife and I were already 5 months into the process of our first home search in the Bay Area. We tirelessly toured every weekend, tried a couple of realtors in the process, and put out around 5 offers within this period. We were outbid, or we lost the bid by marginal amounts. We completely lost trust in this process and our ability to secure a home by Summer 2022. We were even contemplating a move to Seattle to eliminate the cut-throat competition persisting in the Bay Area.
Fortunately, I got to meet my relative, who has been working with Amar & Sri for almost 5 years, has bought multiple properties, and was introduced to Amar. So, with some hesitation, we scheduled a call with Amar to see if they were a good fit for us.
As the proverb says, "first impression is the best impression" our first call with Amar was a fulfilling experience. Amar clearly explained the home search process his team followed, which had well-defined steps, starting from neighborhood zooming until getting the home keys, with accountability assigned to each member, including us, in all of these steps.
Fast-forward to the stage before submitting offers. Once both Sri and I zeroed in on a property, the next step is a walk-through of disclosures with Amar. This is again a deal-breaker when it comes to choosing a realtor. Before submitting offers, there's always this question: "Are we sure there aren't any critical issues with the house ?". This is where Amar's support is very helpful. Amar takes 100% accountability in analyzing the disclosures and reports for the property. He comes back to us with a clear summary of the existing issues and guides us in deciding whether they are worth pursuing or not.
Once we are confident about the technical aspects of the house, we move on to the offer submission step—both Amar & Sri have a good network in the realtor community. In that case, they proceed to the most interesting part, the offer negotiation phase. Amar again takes complete accountability here, and in our 2nd offer, the situation was relatively unique. The property seller was out of the country and couldn't go to the US embassy. The seller agent wasn't completely aware of the additional logistics involved in closing the deal with the seller's signatures. Amar took this to his advantage since he has dealt with a similar situation from the seller & buyer's side multiple times. Even though our offer was one of the top offers, the seller agent was desperately looking for support from buyer agents who could help her close the deal without any issues. Amar quickly started helping out the seller agent by putting her in touch with a reliable escrow officer since her attempts to get support from her escrow contacts were in vain. The key was to shift the listing agent's focus from best price to successfully overcoming logistical challenges. Since we were not aware of these conversations between Amar and listing agents, Sri made sure that she regularly updated us on the status of the negotiation process and what was happening.
Sri mentioned that we have a good chance of getting the offer accepted if the seller doesn't go for a counter offer. It was a nail-biting moment for both of us since we have never come this close to the offer stage with our previous attempts. I got an email from Amar, and I was in complete shock. At last, we saw the golden words "Congrats, we are in contract !!!". Amar successfully convinced the seller agent to choose our offer, even though he mentioned it as "one of the most arduous negotiations in recent times."
This is the moment both of us have been waiting for the past 6 months, and it wouldn't have been possible without the unparalleled skill and support from Amar & Sri.
Our home search process in the bay area is that having the right realtor is an important aspect of the process, and having Amar & Sri as your realtor is the most important. I am looking forward to working with Amar & Sri for our future real estate investments.

My home buying Journey: I had briefly worked with a couple of other agents who claimed to get me the best home for the cheapest price and was unsuccessful.
One of my friends told me that choosing the right agent is very important and referred Amar to me. The next day I found myself on a Zoom call with Amar, who diligently explained the details of the home buying process. The agents I worked with had not given me such detailed information even after meeting them a couple of times.
The first step is to identify the houses on the market that you like. Then Amar and Sri will do a technical and value analysis on the house. They guide you on whether it is a good idea to pursue the house or not. Suppose they suggest that a certain home is not a good fit, and you decide to pursue it anyway. In that case, they will decline to be your agents for that house because they know you will end up unhappy with the purchase later, and they always want to see their clients happy.
We decided to make an offer after our due diligence. However, my budget was still falling short of the competition in the hot market, and we went ahead and made an offer. Unfortunately, the seller's highest bid was about $30k more than mine. I was on the verge of quitting the home buying idea. The next day, Amar called me and told me that our offer was accepted! I was happy for sure, but I was filled with the questions: How did this happen? Why did the seller choose a lower offer? The answer to all that was Amar and Sri. They had worked with the listing Agent multiple times in the past. Amar showcased his confidence in closing the Relocation deal than those who made higher offers. The RELOCATION COMPANY transaction is completely different from the RE-SALE transaction in many ways. This saved me another $30k.
All that was good, except there was a risk of an appraisal gap. The appraisal came in, and there was a gap of $30k. What Amar did for my case blew my mind! Amar negotiated with the sellers to reduce the purchase price by the amount equivalent to the appraisal gap!!! I was not just ecstatic but was again filled with the same questions: How? Why? Is this even possible? When I asked Amar over the phone, he said, "My friend, working hard for you is my job. You relax and enjoy the benefits." God works in mysterious ways, and he worked through Amar for me. This saved me another $30k. This was no less than a miracle. Surprisingly, I have not met Amar/Sri or anyone from their team in person, yet they have executed a miracle!

Amar and Sri did a wonderful job in making our dream come true. Our home buying journey was hurdled. With every step of the way, with every difficulty we faced, Amar was there to help us out.
Sri's exceptional knowledge of neighborhoods in the bay area and the market history played a key role in helping us make an informed decision as this was our first time buying a house.
When we decided on the house that we wanted, we did not have a lot of room to make bids over the asking price. Amar skillfully handled the offer negotiations and we got into contract on a Sunday night at 11:30. Amar and Sri are completely committed to their clients and work tirelessly towards their benefit! I am glad to have partnered with such a team for our first home.

We were clueless on the entire home buying process in the beginning, wandering in different directions with different thoughts. You not only helped us understand what we really wanted as our home but also made us realize our potential of buying a property in the bay area.. Your good reputation in the market along with your passion and dedication for work is truly commendable. It's really extraordinary that the way you executed the perfect plan by following up on every details to close the deal in 18 days without much friction. We appreciate your entire team who works closely and swiftly to win a deal. We are truly humbled to have you as our agent. I specially thank Sri for dedicating lot of time for us and being available all the time to answer our queries and concerns. You guys would be a perfect choice for young couples like us to win a dream house. Thank you once again 😊

We were Referred to Amar and Sri by a co-worker, Praveen. We highly recommend Amar and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. It has been a privilege working with Amar and the team.
We are first time buyer and not sure whether we should buy a house or not mainly because of the high price of bay area real state and the COVID situation. I talked to Sri. She understood my requirements and helped us choose the right neighborhood, school, commute, safety, and future appreciation. Sri gave us honest updates about the house. Amar walked through all disclosures and patient with me with all first-time buyer questions.
We made an offer on the home we are interested. Even our bidding is not the highest, but Amar used his negotiation capability and worked the whole night to win the offer in our favor. The Amar team (Lender, Escrow, Insurance) even it is COVID situation whole execution from getting the offer to Recording, the Entire process was very smooth. Amar has been involved actively, monitoring all steps and continuously updating me. His entire team is very professional and supportive. I highly recommend Amar's team's services for the home buying process. We are delighted with the whole experience, and I strongly recommend Amar & Sri.

We are happy to come across Amar and Sri, one of the best realtors in the bay area. We want to thank them for all the hard work they have put in. They made us owner of a single-family house which is difficult in the bay area. They explained the step-by-step process of getting a home, which was very clear and gave us the confidence to choose and make the right decision. Making a preemptive offer in our budget and getting that accepted was challenging in this competitive market. Still, it happened only because of Amar and his flawless execution. Amar and Team have been in contact at each stage of the process and explained what was happening behind them—from getting a good pre-approval letter to closing the loan. The backend team also made the process smooth and fast, which made us complete the loan process in less than three weeks. The guidance from Amar and Sri from beginning to end had made us understand what to look at while purchasing a property. Amar and Sri look at the property from a different perspective and analyze them differently. Sri gives us an honest opinion on the property. Their go-ahead was very important for us, and it gave us the confidence to put an offer. The complete process was smooth, and it made us very comfortable.
We would be happy to refer to any of our friends in the home-buying or selling process.

Our experience with Amar and Sri has been super amazing. Their work style is highly efficient and impressive, and they take care of all your needs and requirements.
When we got in touch with them, we were first-time home buyers, and they guided us through the whole process. They have put a step-by-step process in place that helps you focus at one level, not worrying about the future steps, as they are always there taking care of those for you. They have a great professional network and a very well-structured team, and their whole intention is to get the best deal for you.
Before meeting them, we went to random open houses, not understanding what to do. In our first call, they focused on understanding our requirements and budget. They helped us choose the best locations for our house search and suggested the best investment options. Sri discussed the pros and cons of each property that we liked, which helped us make a better decision. We finalized our dream home at a very prime location in one week of connecting with Amar. Amar's negotiation skills are top-notch. Although we weren't the highest bidder, he still got the deal for us. It's highly impressive. It's not an easy task for any Realtor to win the first offer in the Bay Area housing market within the week of home search.
Our buying experience was extremely smooth and seamless because of their hard work and constant guidance throughout the process. We would highly recommend Amar and the team to all future home buyers.

First and the foremost, I would like thank Amar from the bottom of my heart for helping us with our Home buying experience. My wife and I moved to the Bay area in California a few years ago. Since then, we have been renting apartments at different places. Quite recently, we realized it would be nice to have a spacious home of our own, that way we can start creating memories. We started to explore for the perfect Realtor® who will suit our requirements. Through my wife’s family, we got introduced to Amar.
The first time we met Amar, He outlined the House buying process and understood our requirements well. Amar make our dream come true in less than a week. The very next day following the day we met him, we started receiving emails from Sri (Amar’s wife) and Amar regarding the listings in the neighborhood we had requested for. My wife and I short listed and with the help of Sri, we checked the first home of our interest. Meanwhile, Amar and Sri suggested we get the pre-approval for our loan from the Bank. We did accordingly. With the pre-approval we were all set to look for our perfect home. As this was our very first home visit, we had yen number of questions. Sri and Amar patiently answered all our queries and cleared our doubts.
Amar and Sri gave us lot of valuable suggestions and advised us to proceed with this property and put an offer on the house. Further, Amar also suggested we place an offer for 10k lesser than the listed price. We did accordingly and that was the night of Thursday. Kudos to Amar and Sri’s excellent negotiation skills! They were able to impeccably sense the pulse of the seller and we got our offer accepted on the morning of Saturday with no counter offer. It was a joyous moment for all of us and we couldn’t thank Amar enough. We proceeded with the inspection on the house and it took about a couple of days for that to get done.
Amar promptly sent us the inspection reports and set up a conference call with us to explain us each line mentioned in the report with great detail. I don’t know if other Realtors® take so much trouble and go to this extent of sitting down with you and baby you with so much care. Once we discussed the report and the expenses that followed, we came to understand that there were some immediate expenses that needed to be taken care of it. My wife and I were in dilemma if we had enough funds to bear the immediate expenses on the house. He calmly listened to our concerns and believe it or not, the next day we heard the news from Sri that Amar had negotiated with the seller and made them agree to pay for the initial expenses on the house. My wife and I were speechless on hearing this news.
Amar never ceases to amaze us! We thanked him profusely for his absolutely selfless and dedicated effort. We are the proud home owners. Thanks to Amar and his team for walking us through our home buying experience in California and making our dreams come true.

Amar and Sri are indeed a top-notch realtor team. They helped me get a new property in the 95130 zip code. They brought me an excellent opportunity to buy a home in the 95130 zip code. Unfortunately, I did not have enough money for the down payment to buy a new property. However, Sri and Amar gave me an idea of how I could still buy the property. Amar connected me to a loan agent who worked with me to get cash out refi of one of my existing properties, which I used to buy this new property. The new property was a probate sale, and hence it was a lot more bureaucratic. Amar handled it seamlessly. At the same time, he pushed the loan agent to complete my loans, the cash-out refi, and the loan to buy the new property and get me the property in record time, given that it is a probate sale. Amar’s execution is flawless, and his ability to manage complex and tricky situations is unmatched in the Real Estate business. In this case, Amar oversaw an estate sale, managed the attorneys, pushed two different loans simultaneously. My friends who have purchased properties through Amar will also vouch for handling such complex situations with ease.
I would heartily recommend Amar and Sri for your real estate needs..

We worked with Amar and Sri to secure a great house in San Jose. Amar and Sri were great mentors and resources for helping us find our dream home! Their expertise, knowledge, and execution were impressive, and we were grateful to have them on our team.
We were first-time homebuyers trying to make sense of the Bay Area housing market when our cousin referred us to Amar and Sri. After the referral email, Amar immediately got in touch. He scheduled a call with us to walk us through the process of homebuying. Amar encouraged us to get the preapproval letter. He put us in touch with a great Credit Union to start our process. Once we had the preapproval, Amar had another very informative session with us. He clearly explained the distribution of tasks and responsibilities of each of us. This call showed us a great process and helped clarify all our doubts.
Sri talked to us about the localities in our budget the pros and cons of each area of San Jose. How we could narrow down our search and find a great house - both in terms of value and livability. This was a crucial step in helping us search for great properties and saved a lot of time. It was clear that both their experiences in this field were considerable and very valuable. Their process of doing due diligence on the structural aspects of a house and the value aspect was great and gave us a comprehensive view of the home we wanted. We were informed of all information regarding the home. We bid on a home and got our offer accepted on the first bid without the counter offer. Amar made this magic happen with his Agent networking and reputation. Once the offer got accepted, their entire team was super helpful in completing all the required steps.
Our home buying process was completed without any hiccups. Amar and Sri played a big part in the smooth execution. We are grateful to them for all the help! We would recommend availing the expertise of Amar and Sri in your home buying journey!

We had an incredible experience selling our home so quickly on such short notice. Though we were out of state, we did not have to worry about anything. Everything was taken care of, from staging to minor fixes to closing. The home presentation, excellent marketing, and traffic to the open house and offer negotiations are beyond words. Our neighbors mentioned that they could not go for an open house because of the huge number of people who came to see the home. Also, bypassing Amar's buyer to generate an aggressive selling price without compromise shows Amar's integrity in his task. Thanks for working towards generating an outstanding offer and working in our best interest. Overall the experience was smooth and recommended to anyone(buyer/seller) who wants a seamless experience.

If you are a new/sophisticated investor looking to build your real estate portfolio over the next few years, Amar and Sri are the Best realtors to partner with. Bay Area RE market is very unique from the rest of the US and the time window and neighborhood pockets to invest for appreciation constantly keeps changing. Amar and Sri have the best pulse and insights on the market and are able to purchase investment properties consistently for me that have appreciated quickly leading to significant equity build-up. This has enabled me to recycle capital - cash-out/HELOC from appreciated property to fund the downpayment of the next property purchase. By this strategy over the last few years, I've been able to build a strong financial foundation for my family through a solid real estate portfolio. With every new purchase, the DTIs and loan qualifications add downward pressure on the purchasing power and Amar/Sri are able to skillfully navigate the challenges to find properties that fit the budget, negotiate creatively to win in an ever-competitive Bay Area market and guide all along till we close and take ownership. From my personal experience, I highly recommend Amar and Sri as trustable partners to investors looking to buy one or more investment properties in the Bay Area.

We are extremely grateful to Amar and his team for helping us find our dream home. We were new to this entire home buying process. We got in touch with Amar and his team based on our friend's recommendation. They have patiently guided us throughout the process. Amar and Sri are very organized with their execution plan, always guiding us in every step. Amar is very professional and has wide knowledge in the real estate area. Whenever we liked a property, Amar and Sri helped us know its true worth and what the neighborhood looked like and helped us make the right decision. Amar and his team made the entire process smooth – from the pre-approval stage until the closing. Amar's excellent negotiation skills helped us secure the house in Bay Area despite many competitive offers. We are very thankful to them and would happily recommend others work with an amazing team.

We were looking to buy our home and soon found out that we were in a very competitive market. We worked with another realtor before coming to Amar. We tried bidding for few homes but were unsuccessful. After going through frustration for a few months, we reached out to Amar.
Amar was very warm and professional at the same time and scheduled a video call session with us to understand our needs. He came with a proper presentation about the process and a detailed understanding of every step. One of the things that I was impressed with right away was that Amar clarified our responsibility and his responsibility. He well defined how both parties should collaborate to achieve the optimum results. Amar also gave us various examples of advising his clients and outstanding results.
After that, we worked with Sri Amar to find the home. Sri was amazing in providing us inputs related to our needs, like how kid-friendly a particular neighborhood is and the pros and cons of school. She showed us a perfect home for our needs and was very instrumental in us deciding to buy the house. Her feedback about the neighborhood, the property's value, and how she explained planning for the future helped us immensely in making the right decision. The house is perfect for us, and we are enjoying living here. We must thank Amar and Sri for bringing us this opportunity, impressing upon us about the advantages, and being very patient while we decided.
I also would like to say that Sri guided us during the loan approval process by tracking progress and guiding us every step. She spent a lot of time with us to give us detailed information about interest rates and pick the right product for our needs. The rest of the execution was smooth, with Amar at the helm working with escrow, insurance, and lenders.
Suppose you are looking to buy your dream home. In that case, I would very highly recommend you reach out to Amar for a professional and, at the same time, very personal approach to your home buying experience. I also recommend listening to their advice from a very experienced and honest place.

Sri and Amar are incredible. “The Best” at what they do based on our home buying experience. Sri is knowledgeable, honest, and an amazing human being. She gave us insights that we would not have found anywhere else. She walked us through all the pros and cons of each property. All she wanted was for us to make the best-informed decision. She was available for us 24x7.
Amar and Sri stayed on top of everything and made sure that the buying process was as smooth as possible. It sounds unbelievable, but we got the house just because of Amar’s negotiation skills and his brilliant strategy.
Last but not least, we started our journey with Amar and Sri as our realtors, but we ended up with lifelong friends and mentors. We wholeheartedly recommend Amar and Sri.

With no down payment, tough loan qualification and low inventory in a hot housing market, we were looking to buy a Bay Area investment property within our budget with great appreciation potential in a short time before interest rates went up. The bar was too high and Amar/Sri still made it happen for us in a breeze. Working with their strong team, as a first step, we were able to recycle capital to fund the down payment and get underwritten pre-approval with tight DTIs to be well positioned with financial certainty for the new purchase. In a hot housing market where fixer uppers were bid up in open market with cash offers, Sri/Amar were able to keep our focus on one right property that just came on market and strategically get our offer accepted through arduous negotiations within 24 hours. So high was our confidence in Sri and Amar, that we got into contract before even seeing the property. The entire process from offer acceptance all the way to funding and recording was so smooth. If you have an intent to buy a home but need help/guidance to figure out everything else, our experience is proof that Sri/Amar will come up with the perfect custom recipe to make it a reality for you in a short time. Good luck!

In my 13 years of home-buying, Amar is the only person I would really consider as a true Realtor®. After going through my experience, I do not have any doubt that he delivers the best results to his clients whether you are buying or selling homes. Amar is very knowledgeable and really enjoys being in the Realty business and brings about the best qualities. A few big things that he brings to his clients are:
a) His network for Lending
b) His relationship strategy with agents from the other side.
c) His negotiation skills
d) He takes care of all the needs along the way
e) He explains the whole process and maintains profiles and provides a lot of information and steps.
All in all, you have to experience your home buying with Amar to understand what I mean.

We being first-time homebuyers, had an excellent home buying experience working with Amar and Sri. First, they helped us understand the home buying process and the great value of owning a home in the Bay area, then helped get a good mortgage from a trusted lender. After selecting our dream house, Amar walked through detailed disclosures/reports to ensure no red flags. Amar helped prepare the offer and convinced the seller agent to work with us without a counteroffer. Later Amar and Sri oversaw a smooth closure even though our closure had to happen within 25 days.
It would’ve been impossible for us to get that kind of home without Amar and Sri’s support.
We’ll look forward to working with you in the future.

We are so happy to write this review for Amar and Sri! We contacted Amar when we decided to buy the house, and we met in his office. Right away, we knew that he is the best realtor we have spoken to. He was very thorough in his process and explained to us all our options. We started seeing houses regularly, and Sri helped us understand the pros/cons of each of the houses. Finally, within four weeks of our house search, we put an offer which got accepted! Not just that, he negotiated $48k below the listing price through his exceptional skills. I had never heard of a single-family house going below the listing price in the bay area. Still, Amar made it happen so that we don’t go beyond our budget. He also provided extraordinary support during the closing process. We were first-time home buyers, so everything was new for us, so he gave us a step-by-step guide on what needs to be done.
I don’t think we could have had a better experience anywhere else. Amar and Sri are genuinely the most honest and best realtors I have seen.
Thank you, Amar and Sri, for the WOW experience in our buying process. I hope to work with you again in buying or selling more houses

As a first-time homebuyer, I was overwhelmed by the entire home buying process. I reached out to Amar looking at the online reviews, and he being one of the top realtors in the bay area, I felt he would work in our interest and help us as we did not know the basics of the process. This decision has panned out well for us. After the initial conversation with Amar, we were introduced to Sri, who took us over the entire process and had hand-held and taken us to the end line. We were a novice w.r.t to what to look when buying a home, and we trusted Amar and Sri would help us make the right decisions along the way. Sri was always ready to talk and explain to us about every step and the background negotiations between Amar and Seller Agent. Sri understood the first-time buyer anxiety well and sometimes took more than an hour to explain why we took the right step. The knowledge and passion she has to help her clients are impressive. Amar was very good at looking at the disclosures and explaining each issue with the home. Amar helped negotiate 40k worth of savings for us. I suggest that anyone looking for a home go with Amar and Sri and trust that you are in excellent hands.

It was an amazing experience working with Amar to sell our house. Before listing our home, Amar visited and prepared us to get the home ready for sale. He went into detail about the entire selling process and guidance in every aspect of a home selling for top max dollars. Our home presented the best possible way with Amar's marketing strategy. He was diligent in conducting the open houses and follow-up, generating multiple offers and $238K negotiated above the listing price. We had a tight deadline for selling the home. My husband had to visit India due to a family emergency during this period. Thanks to Amar for making the entire selling process stress-free and closing the house on time!!

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

Buying our first home took lot of time. Finally frustrated gave up and bought a new construction home few years back. The whole process (search, bid, fail, repeat) and putting deposit for new construction and waiting for it to complete took 18+ months. I wanted to work with Amar for my first purchase but didn’t happen for some reason. Fast forward few years later, got opportunity to connect with Amar & Sri. Both of them offer very different perspectives and it gives you a really good idea on what to look for. I really like some of the conversations I have had with Sri. They have really good contacts. None of the lenders came close to the rate provided by Amar’s contact. In this crazy market, Amar & Sri were able to get us the home we liked. Still surprised to see how they made it happen. So, I believe if the time is right and if you work with right people, magic happens. I recommend others to work with Amar and Sri.

Amar and his team are the best things that can happen to home buyers. Being first-time buyers, we had no idea about the process. Sri and Amar guided us in every step, be it vetting the property or explaining the true value of a property and not letting us get carried away by upgrades on the house. They do not subscribe to a one solution fits all approach. Sri took the time to understand our family and our needs. This helped her point out details that we overlooked and regretted later. They helped us make a rational decision while buying the property. Amar’s negotiation skills and strategies helped us secure the house despite tough competition.
Once the offer was accepted, Amar and his team of experts ensured the rest of the process went without any hiccups.

I purchased my home few years back with Amar.
I had a pleasant home buying experience with Amar as my agent. I had been looking at homes to buy for several months before I met Amar. After I met Amar, I became a home owner within a short few weeks. With real-estate websites giving all the information needed it might seem an agent is not absolutely needed. But in a challenging market it is very important to have someone like Amar as your real estate agent.
Main advantages when having Amar as your agent:
Amar brings in a team to take care of entire real estate transaction. You get a hassle free buying experience.
Amar is extremely committed. If he thinks that a property is suitable for his client, he will try his very best to get it while staying within the client’s comfort level.
Amar reputation for guaranteed results gives an extra edge when offers are close and works as a close team.
Amar being very proactive and focused execution gives a huge advantage in current challenging market environment.
Amar believes on establishing long term relationship with his clients. He is not someone who just vanishes after finishing the transaction. He really cares about his clients and wants to get the best deal that is suitable for them.
Amar will definitely help with his treasure trove of knowledge in real estate.

Buying a home can be a long painful process or it can be a pleasant experience. It all depends on who your real estate agent is. We had a great home buying experience and we attribute that to Amar.
We hired Amar as our agent in August 2011 and he never failed us. He collected our input and showed houses that suited our requirements. Amar gathered complete information on each house he showed and provided his honest input whether to go with or not. He never forced us to give a quick offer and always asked us to think twice, thrice before presenting an offer.
Once we found the house that we like, Amar used his keen negotiation skills and got us the house at a lower price than many competing offers. During the entire closing process he is on his heels and been in constant contact with the sellers agent, loan agent and pushed all of them to get to the closing quickly and smoothly.
Amar also have extensive contacts with loan agents, contractors and insurance agents and he used them effectively at every stage of our home buying process. With his negotiation tactics Amar saved quite a bit of time and money on various repair works we have done to our new house.
I have never seen an agent who does so much extra service to make their clients home buying experience happy and comfortable. I am very happy to use his services again and recommend him highly to anyone.

There is ALL CASH offer at $K and willing to go much HIGHER and 10 days CLOSING. But Our offer is 10K less and loan offer with 10% down. It’s one of the most COMPLEX and CHALLENGED offer for Amar. We lost all our hopes on this home, we don't know how Amar work with them, it’s very complex situation, how he convinced them. After 3 to 4 days later, he gave us a congratulation email "your offer got accepted". Still we cannot believe he work out this Home. It’s miracle. Because of Amar we got this home In Bay area. Buying a home in Bay area is our whole family dream. Because of Amar it got fulfilled. Thanks is a SMALL WORD. He spend lot of time on our transaction. we never forget this help. Really Appreciated your time and help.
We really appreciate your help in going extra mile in saving me big $$$$$ in closing costs by negotiating with the lender and the seller agent. His tie-ups and constant checking with mortgage lender helped us keep the loan processing on track with a closing in 30 days!
He was honest to me as to what was going on. Kept me updated on what was happening from beginning to the end of closing. Amar went above and beyond to help us find the right house. We HIGHLY recommend Amar to any buyer/seller. This sale of the property feels like a miracle for our family.

Amar helped us to buy a property in Bay Area which was one of the hottest markets in the world. We provided our requirements, and he had found the best that out in the market with reasonable price and negotiated with the seller to get it secure as quickly as possible.
Amar has a group of people with wide knowledge in real estate area to execute the tasks with perfection and jet speed.
I am very much satisfied with our purchase of our house with very short time and highly recumbent to anyone.

We purchased our first home with Amar & Sri had an awesome experience end to end. After being unsuccessful with a few other realtors, we got Amar's referral through a common friend and in the first two interactions we felt that we made a good step and felt positive vibes about our first home becoming a reality in the tough bay area market. To understand the impact, we were in the housing market for 18+ months and after our first interaction with Amar, our offer got accepted in 20 days. That’s the speed at which Amar works for his clients as every moving day in the hot bay area market is tough for the buyers. Amar & Sri are very knowledgeable about Bay Area neighborhoods, real estate trends, investment locations and they have wealth of experience in both selling and buying homes. Amar is extremely well connected with realtors and he has a lot of respect in the real estate community which is the key reason for us to be successful in the market. Amar & Sri has changed our thinking about home buying and made us rethink from the scratch and devised a strategy after understanding our needs. If we can give our requirements, expectations clearly to Amar & Sri, as a client we just followed their lead and results were evident. A good buyer agent is not someone who not just gets the home a client needs but who stops buyers from making mistakes. Amar & Sri certainly has this as a top quality and he protects his buyers from making mistakes. A mistake in a house purchase will become very costly and takes multiple years to recover from. Amar protects his clients from making these kinds of costly mistakes. Here are my top reasons why I strongly recommend Amar: (1) Amar & Sri are empathetic to their clients. They put clients' interests first and protect the clients from making bad choices. Everyone says this but after seeing multiple agents and being in the home search for 18 months, I can confidently say Amar & Sri follow this 100% to the letter and spirit. (2) Amar’s connections and respect in the real estate community. It’s not just the $ value that helps to be successful. The behind the scenes connections between agents matter a lot. This is a key reason why we were not successful before but successful with Amar. (3) Amar has an amazing team be it mortgage lender, home insurance, escrow etc… Even the support team goes beyond their role and helps the clients. After working with them, I realized why Amar only works with THE BEST of the BEST. Amar & Sri - Thank you is a small word to say for what you had done for our family. We are very grateful to have you as our mentor, guide, and support system and fulfilling our wish to be a homeowner in the tough bay area market. Thank you!!!!

We never really had any idea about the steps or terms in purchasing a home. I was a bit reluctant to meet a Realtor® initially but my wife wants us to understand the process to better prepare for the buying process.
We contacted Amar in Feb 2019, he patiently explained to us the whole process of home buying all the ABC’s. He sent us the action items he will take from his side and what steps we have to take from ours. Amar took his time to explain each and every question we asked. He advised us on area and the kind of home would be better for our young and growing family and what qualities we have to see in a house. He used to send the home details he thinks might best fit us. After we take a tour of the homes and share our experience, he would provide valuable suggestions on how the home will fit our needs in the future and any potential issues with the home after going through the disclosures.
In less than a month we zeroed on a couple of homes and his team swung into action to get the required documentation to get the offer ready and going. Even though there is a good amount of competition for the home, he was able to get the seller accept our price. He was able to negotiate a fair price for the home and his team (especially Sri Amar) was in touch with us the whole process.
They were on top of each step and prompt to get the required information and documentation. Amar and Sri made the whole home buying process as easy as possible for us. I highly recommend Amar and his team to anyone looking for home in Bay area. We are more confident after meeting him about buying the home. Thanks a bunch Amar, Sri and his team!!!

Amar and Sri, As first time home buyers, we had questions about the home buying process, the right location, the financials, etc., Amar patiently answered all our questions in our first introduction call, and it has been quite an exciting journey ever since. Sri compliments Amar’s technical experience by bringing her knowledge about the location, neighborhood, value to money, home ROI, and the list goes on. There is no sugar coating of the truth, but just hard facts and real statistics are what you get from Amar and Sri. The actual data is what makes them stand apart from the rest of the realtors. When we initially expressed our interest in the home to Amar and Sri, they did their best to do a background check on the property, investigate any misgivings, and give us the green light. Then, together, we pursued the home one step at a time. Considering how strenuous and stressful the process is, talking to Amar and Sri was more like a therapy session that put our minds at ease during the entire process and made the whole experience as seamless as possible. Lastly, we cannot be thankful enough to this entire fantastic team who helped us every step of the way and made our dream a reality.

Nobody knows the Bay Area better than Amar and Sri..! We had a dream, and you helped us bring it to fruition. At the outset, we were very skeptical of the Bay area market for obvious reasons. We did not believe any agent could help us fetch a deal or make a difference. Finally, a friend convinced us to take the initial step of talking to Amar. The rest is history! Right from the very beginning, Amar & the team did a thorough job of explaining the process and stood right by it till the end with consistent follow-ups. There were so many questions and inhibitions, obviously, as first-time home-buyers, that we had – and we were curious about so many things on so many levels. All our answers were swiftly and patiently answered by the duo (Amar and Sri). It goes to say that you are a hallmark of excellent professional agents. Also, not to mention how simple they made the process for us from start to finish and patiently got us many options before we zeroed in on our home. We have found that Amar & Sri keep their client's best interests at heart. We can always trust that they are on top of every detail, big and small, bringing great peace of mind in any real estate transaction. We could not have asked for a better team..! I have to say that Amar and Sri are by far the BEST realtors we could ever have worked. Their Outstanding attributes are professionalism, personality, attention to detail, responsiveness, proper guidance, and ability to close the deal. With the help of Amar & Sri, we closed the off-market deal in an excellent neighborhood with great schools at our price without competition. It's a virtually difficult task, especially in Bay Area, but it's only possible through Amar & Sri. If you are buying or selling a home, do yourselves a favor and hire Amar and Team!!

We are happy to come across Amar and Sri, one of the best realtors in the bay area. We want to thank them for all the hard work they have put in. They made us owner of a single-family house which is difficult in the bay area. They explained the step-by-step process of getting a home, which was very clear and gave us the confidence to choose and make the right decision. Making a preemptive offer in our budget and getting that accepted was challenging in this competitive market. Still, it happened only because of Amar and his flawless execution. Amar and Team have been in contact at each stage of the process and explained what was happening behind them—from getting a good pre-approval letter to closing the loan. The backend team also made the process smooth and fast, which made us complete the loan process in less than three weeks. The guidance from Amar and Sri from beginning to end had made us understand what to look at while purchasing a property. Amar and Sri look at the property from a different perspective and analyze them differently. Sri gives us an honest opinion on the property. Their go-ahead was very important for us, and it gave us the confidence to put an offer. The complete process was smooth, and it made us very comfortable.
We would be happy to refer to any of our friends in the home-buying or selling process.

Amar, Sri and their staff were top notch and a pleasure to work with in purchasing our first home. Strategic, professional, and accommodating. We are glad that our offer was accepted in a competitive market. Amar’s sharp skill set helped us navigate through negotiations to influence seller to choose our offer.
Amar and Sri has been on top of things and helped us in every step of home buying experience. I also found them to be very knowledgeable of the area and able to bring back good advice and information about the properties. Their extensive experience really helped ease our stress during the hunt. Starting from first meeting till date both were proactive and responded to all queries promptly. Amar introduced us to reliable mortgage broker who helped us secure our loan in efficient manner. Amar helped us through the whole process and after purchase formalities. We are impressed with results.
Thank you Amar, Sri and team for guiding us in the right direction.
If you are looking for a Realtor® that has the knowledge base and ability to get the house you like in a smooth manner then Amar's team is the way to go!

We purchased our first home with Amar & Sri and had a fantastic experience. Amar very clearly breaks down the role of each person in the home buying process. It makes the whole process very efficient and stress-free. Sri helped us qualitatively analyze the home, location, and neighborhood and gave excellent insights into the prospective homes. Amar did the deep dive and provided the structural and technical analysis of the homes we liked.
Amar and Sri both make a perfect combination and played a significant role in narrowing down our home. Amar & Sri are always available via phone and email and promptly respond to all queries. We were also introduced to a lender with very competitive rates and down payment options. Amar’s negotiation skills helped us avoid a bidding war and helped us win with a competitive offer. Our overall experience, from selecting the home to closing the home, was very smooth with no issues. I highly recommend Amar & Sri to anyone buying a home. We’ll indeed be working with them for our next home.

The effort and tireless follow up they do for their clients is unbelievable. It was a streamlined process and so transparent in all the steps happening in the backend as well. They did a commendable job, Kudos to their team. We strongly feel that our home dream came true only because of Amar and Sri. They both were there every time to answer all our doubts. More than being their client, we enjoyed their humble nature and friendly approach. They treated every single client with great respect and care, no matter if the client had bigger budget or lower budget. Would definitely say, they both hard to find personalities. Would love to recommend every single friend of ours to their service. I wish them all success in their future endeavour as well. Thank You Amar and Sri!

1. Perfect execution
2. Wining the home with RIGHT & BEST Strategy ( we were able to seal the offer with a lot of competition)
3. He involved in the process personally from the beginning; once I said to him I want this home and Liked it very much
4. Overall, he lists down the steps to buy houses how much his(agent) responsibility and our (buyers) responsibility everything is methodically is organized.

We recently bought our first single family home in bay area and it wouldn't have been possible without Sri and Amar's help and guidance. Amar has a very thorough step by step process with clear expectations and goals defined. We really liked their systematic approach for each and every step. Our responsibility was to judge the houses on living aspect and whether everything inside were checking all the boxes in our wishlist. From there Sri and Amar made sure all the other aspects were covered. Sri worked on making sure of making us aware about the area and getting us value for money. Amar then goes through all the inspection reports and make sures that all the technical aspects of the house are covered. Buying a house with Sri and Amar is a one stop process. Other than making sure about your liking for the home, you have got pretty much everything covered from mortgage to home insurance to home warranty and Escrow closing. Being totally new to the housing market, we couldn't believe that we got the house in our first offer itself. Another great thing about Sri and Amar is their quick responses. Buying a house in bay area means you are going to spend a lot and after putting that much money on the table, it's possible to get nervous about lot of things. In our case, it was too many times to count and every single time we felt that way, we either called Sri or mailed Amar and not once did they mind our queries. Both of them always very patiently explained things and made sure that we as buyers were always protected.
Overall it was an A+ experience with Sri and Amar.

We reached out to Amar (from a friend's referral) after unsuccessful attempts to get home due to outbidding while working with another agent. After reaching Amar, he played out a plan of execution and perfect strategy. He is a one-stop solution for the house buying process. Once we selected the home, which meets our preferences and priorities, Amar helped us understand the home's value, finalizing the price to bid.
Amar's negotiation skills and agent networking helped get the home for us. Amar's team helped us smoothly and quickly processed things to reach the closing milestone in time. It doesn't end there. Amar and the team will help you with the things post buying the home too.
I would recommend Amar and his team if you want to close the deal quickly in this hot market.

Off the bat, my wife & I were very impressed how quickly Amar reached out to us after a friend of ours made the initial introduction. We loved Amar & Sri’s energy and drive to find & buy a home that met our requirements. Very quickly, their experience showed! Sri helped us with all the property-related questions and Amar with the sale-related questions. Once we found a home we all liked, they worked with us to close the deal. After the sale, the appraisal came in $73k more than what we bought the home for! A Team Effort! That is what you get working with Amar & Sri. A great team!

As first-time home buyers, there's excitement as well as nervousness. There are expectations, but there is the reality of the Bay Area real estate market. We entered the market with a dream house in our eyes and a ton of questions. Amar and Sri helped us navigate the path to our dream house. They answered our numerous questions on day one and continued walking right beside us on our journey. Every client's journey is unique, but being the experts in managing their clients, Amar and Sri know precisely how to achieve their end goal. Due to the market's competitive nature and the task's difficulty, there were unexpected highs and lows in the process. Due to the depth of knowledge Amar & Sri possess and sensitivity towards their clients, we were able to see the positives in light of the lows and genuinely enjoy the highs. Undoubtedly an immense delight was seeing our dream house and finally getting it. It's excellent value property.
Sri's tremendous knowledge of neighborhoods and her timely advice, Amar's winning strategies and attention to detail, and their agility as a team are the recipe to guaranteed victory. Thank you, Sri and Amar, for supporting us through this ride, one we will forever remember!

Thanks to Amar and Sri, we can proudly call ourselves owners of our first investment property in the highly competitive Bay Area. The total time from meeting Amar on a Zoom call, not knowing where to start the search process to a smooth closing and having keys in hand was a total breeze. Right from the first conversation, Amar is very personable, and he spends the time listening to you and your needs. Not only does he clarify all the questions we have on things to consider for an investment property, but he also uses his depth of real estate experience to coach and guide us in our thinking on attributes to look for in an investment property. Once he understood our needs, he introduced us to fabulous team of lenders, who wasted no time in getting a thorough pre-approval of our loan. As part of the next process, Sri comes along to guide us with her extensive knowledge on real estate ranging from areas to consider and what to look for and not for in a home. With every phone call and prompt communication, she shares enough information on the homes we identify, but what we appreciated the most was that Sri would never overwhelm us with information. She always kept us focused on our task. Amar and Sri are so well respected by other realtors. It was apparent whenever we went to an open house. The seller agent would take us seriously when we mentioned that they are our agents. After a quick swift efficient search thanks to Sri, once ready to put in offer, Amar jumped back in and worked his magic to make our offer get signed next day - all of this within 16 hours of us seeing the home. Amar then looped in his army of amazing folks, from the lender to insurance agent to title company to warranty. They worked diligently to get our home closed successfully in 20 days. Amar and Sri were in constant touch with us all the time through this process via email, but they were just a phone call away in case we needed. To net it out, we could not have done our first investment in real estate without Amar and Sri. Having worked with other realtors in the past, we are confident that we could not have done it this fast without anyone else. We hope to have multiple successful ventures with them in future.

It was an amazing home selling experience with Amar and the team. Before we did talk
to Amar, we were distressed due to a failed attempt to sell the house and were anxious to sell the home. Our situation is virtually a difficult task for any Realtor because the home is in the market for a long time before and price reduction in the history in the online portals.
From the beginning to end was flawless, and the perfect deal was done in just three days of being in the market. Amar took the time to explain the execution strategy and executed entire home selling process smoothly. Amar's fantastic marketing and execution are beyond our expectations.
I know it was so hard behind the scenes but, you made it so simple for us. It was an eye-opener for me to learn that we need the right Realtor who can help irrespective of market conditions, location, and house quality.
I would refer any of my friends in the market to buy or sell with a five-star rating.
Thank you very much and appreciate all the help selling our home.

We would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to Amar, Sri, and his team for helping us buy our perfect home. We were super impressed by the whole process - very structured & methodical with well-defined roles and responsibilities. Sri is very knowledgeable in recommending the neighborhoods/schools / potential values. Amar is well connected with lenders to secure pre-approvals and has the right strategy to negotiate the deal. On top of it, Amar follows through personally on each step through the process to ensure smooth execution and support after closing the contract.
In our case, Sri helped us lock in the neighborhood, and she walked us through the key aspects to look for when selecting a home considering our family needs/likings. Sri worked behind the scenes to get the first showing on the house as soon as it hit the market. Once we all agreed that this was the right fit, Amar started a pre-emptive offer & negotiation to help secure the deal. Given the highly competitive market with each house getting multiple bids well over the asking price, it took several rounds of negotiation to win -- not an easy task. This is a key moment, and Amar's experience, network/reputation with lenders & peers, and strong negotiation skills helped secure the contract. We won the contract amongst multiple competing offers (and ours was not the highest), with high open interest in this particular house. Amar ensured that the entire process was executed smoothly, working with lenders, seller agents, escrow, home warranty, insurance, and we closed on time. I highly recommend this team for all your home buying needs. They are real experts in their field & truly dedicated to providing best service for their clients.

We were first time home buyers looking to buy a house in the red hot seller’s market of mid 2021. Based on our friend’s recommendation, we got in touch with Amar and Sri. From then on they patiently and deftly guided us through the process with their detailed execution plan.
We conveyed our Open house favorites to Sri who vetted them and gave a very clear picture of the pros and cons for each property. Once we found a house we liked, Amar started with the offer process. Amar was able to win the house for us with the right strategy and negotiated a very good deal for us.
Both Amar and Sri has been personally involved in all areas of the Offer process and the following Closing process. Amar connected us to his network of great professionals for Mortgage loan,Insurance, Warranty etc which reduced the closing time significantly. It has all been smooth sailing thanks to Amar, Sri and Narayan

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

It was a wonderful experience buying a home after choosing Amar & his team as our Realtors. The thing that sets them apart is that they have a clear notion of who is responsible for each step in the home buying and closing process.
Amar & Sri have a wealth of information about the locality that saves you time and effort by eliminating shortlisted homes. Under normal circumstances, the whole process behaves like a well-oiled assembly line. At each station, the personnel responsible for that station take good care of the requirements. Because they have a wealth of experience, they can also dissect the inspection reports, fair value of the house, etc., and choose a suitable location/home. We highly recommend Amar & the team for your Real Estate needs.

My name is Charan Theja, and I am a client of Amar.
When we say the name Amar he is not just a Realtor, he is someone who guides us in the whole home buying process as a friend and as a well-wisher.
As a first-time homebuyer, I was so clueless about where to start and how to start. Amar guided me in this whole process, just like a teacher to a kindergarten kid. He explains all the steps in the process in a straightforward way which makes you feel you are an expert in the home buying process.
I met Amar over a Zoom call, and the way he explains things is phenomenal. My wife and I had so many questions that Amar answered one by one with so much patience.
When I went to see my home, Amar reached the place 30 minutes early, and he had inspected the home in and out and the neighborhood. Amar explained what the home has gone through over the years and what we might have to do as an add-on later. Amar also shared how much will be re-modeling costs in detail, giving us a clear view of our future expenses and a clear idea of where to start and where to end in the bidding process.
One thing I like most about Amar is “Team Work.”
Amar and his Sri make sure that we have the right expectations regarding the property and neighborhood. They help you decide whether the home is suitable for your needs or not. They stop us from making the wrong decisions. I am a live example of experience. Amar and Sri have stopped me from overbidding for a home. I have to mention this here. Even though I was ready to bid more for the home, Amar stopped me from over-bidding.
The Great news is I got the same house for the number I bid with Amar’s expertise.
Amar’s team goes very far to get you your dream home. I recommend Amar to my friends for any real estate needs.

Amar and Sri’s deep knowledge of the neighborhood and expertise helped me shortlist a few houses in the area of my choice. When the offer time came, Amar and Sri kept me informed of the current market conditions and offer dynamics to make an informed decision in making an offer.

Amar and Sri came highly recommended from our friends who had just bought a house and I am glad we decided to work with them. Me and my wife both strongly believe that they made the impossible happen for us.
Amar and Sri got our dream home for us. The entire process was seamless and smoothly executed. Right from the very first meeting we could sense that they had our best interest in mind and were genuinely interested in helping us get the right home. Amar and Sri helped formulate a winning strategy and guided us through all the steps including what to look for in a prospective home & neighborhood, what to avoid, how to approach the seller’s agents etc. A fact we appreciated was that they advised against any house/neighborhood that was not right or safe. After we liked a house they had an indepth discussion with us to make sure we are interested in the property for the right reasons.
Once the ground work was done, they helped us come up with a winning bid and negotiated the best possible deal. We could reach out to Amar or Sri anytime to discuss anything throughout the process including but not limited to shortlisting and reviewing properties, deciding a winning bid, reviewing disclosures, navigating the escrow process, getting a loan and eventually closing on the deal.
We have already recommended them to all our friends and look forward to working with them if we decide to buy another property.

Our HOME Buying experience was excellent and stress free with Amar, Sri and Team. It is not easy in the current market to get a single family home in Bay Area. I was very skeptical and almost lost hope, and early 2017 I put myself out of market. There came along my new to be home in market, both me and my wife liked the layout and we called Amar and Sri to proceed on it. Amar and team wrote an excellent offer though quoted less than competition, the offer terms were lucrative. All credit goes to “Amar”.
Amar has strong negotiation skills and persuaded listing agent to accept our offer less than the competition offers. On decision day, Amar called me and congratulated me, “Our offer got accepted”.
Amar has excellent field connections, he introduced me to a lender who offered a competitive rate for 10% down, and the entire process was seamless. Being a new home Buyer, I was little panicking but Amar and team total made it seamless by doing all the heavy weight lifting for me. I was kept appraised on all the process. Amar is very efficient, and he stays top of the core process, and really makes the right move at right time.
I strongly recommend Amar and Team, if you are looking to Buy or Sell HOME.

Amar and Sri helped us with our first home buying process. We started about a month ago and were pretty naive in the process. Amar and Sri guided us in a clear step by step manner. They helped define clear, achievable goals based on our priorities for the house, with which we were able to narrow down on an area. Sri provided us invaluable insights about neighborhoods and community. We searched homes online and went for open houses only for the properties which Sri recommended. We did not waste time and effort in looking at homes that did not fit our criteria.
After selecting the property, Amar helped us with the offer by working together with us. In a hot seller's market, he helped us in getting the best possible deal. Post offer acceptance, he gets involved in all areas like loan closing, insurance, warranty, escrow - to ensure that everything goes smoothly and on time. Amar's and Sri's help doesn't stop there. They provide guidance and help post-closing as well - something crucial for first-time homebuyers like us. We are immensely thankful to Amar and Sri for their support. They made the process simple and less stressful. Having a good realtor like Amar and his team really makes a difference.

We were looking for an ideal home for over 2 years . We met Amar through one of our family friends and since then our home hunt approach completely changed. There are several great things which I have seen and experienced in working with Amar. - He has been very focused on sending us only listings which have been very relevant to us. - He has an excellent network with builders and other realtors which helped in getting information before hand. - His deep relationships and credibility with builders and lenders have helped us in getting deep discounts, free upgrades as well as very competitive rates. - He has been a ONE STOP shop for us right from house hunt to finish (Lender, Home insurance, Home warranty and others). - He has helped us not just as a realtor but also helped us in making the right decisions by presenting clear facts, when we were undecided at times. - He gave us ample time to make thoughtful decisions and never hurried or pressurized us into making quick decisions. - His negotiation skills, guidance, and his team bar none. - He is available ALL the time over the phone or email or personnel meetings. - He stay on top of every process to give THE BEST home buying experience.

I want to thank Amar and Sri for making the home purchase dream come true for us. As first-time home buyers, Amar and Sri guided us with every step of the process and made us feel informed and comfortable with all the decisions.
We got in touch with Amar through a friend. In our first meeting, Amar walked us through the entire home buying process and answered all our queries.
Sri’s knowledge about the Bay area neighborhoods is unmatched. The ROI for a property and guidance on what things to look for in the house as a buyer helped us narrow down the search. Sri swiftly followed up with new information on a property we share, which is a big plus in this time-sensitive and highly competitive market. She also provided her honest opinion about the property.
Collaborating with Amar for a detailed walkthrough of house disclosures helped us make an informed decision.
Winning the offer for our house was exceptional. Amar was able to negotiate a deal against all odds and win us our dream home. Even though our offer was not accepted on the first attempt, Amar’s negotiation skills and persistence in talking with the listing agent helped us reconsider our offer. It was unbelievable to know that our offer got picked even though it was not the highest. It was great to have Amar and his team on our side.
After our offer was accepted, Amar had the whole process streamlined. He was personally involved in getting us through the escrow, insurance, loan, and closing process. Amar and Sri were on top of every activity and ensured all stakeholders completed the tasks on time.
We feel fortunate and happy to have worked with Amar and Sri for our first home purchase. We strongly recommend Amar and Sri to anyone looking for a house in the Bay area.

We chose Amar and Sri to buy an investment property as they had previously helped us with the purchase of our primary home. We expressed our interest in purchasing a property, and within 3 weeks we signed a deal. Sri led the way by going through the things we should look for in an investment property as well as the zip codes. Sri's insights were extremely valuable as we were unfamiliar with the area . She provided feedback on whether a property was worth pursuing, as well as pros and cons, for each one that I sent her way. She also made sure that we stayed within our budget. It was overwhelming at first because we didn't have any clear requirements on what we wanted, and the market was crazy post vaccine. Sri's valuable inputs helped us in pinning the house quickly. Amar's extensive knowledge, negotiation skill, and realtor network helped us secure a good deal. We got the keys in 25 days, just like the last time.
We are very happy with our purchase.Having a great realtor is the key to buying a house in the hot sellers' market. I highly recommend Amar and Sri!

Great Thanks to Amar, Sri, and the Team
We have no words to express our gratitude to Sri and Amar, who helped us find our new home. We never imagined buying a home in this competitive market. Sri helped find us our new home. She helped us in every step and made us feel very comfortable in finding the best home. She cares about what’s best for us and feels like they are part of our family.
Regarding Amar, he was the one who helped us to make the closing process go smoothly. We just gave our offer price. That’s it. Amar and his team did the whole process, and we have nothing to worry about. Within 25 days, we got the keys. We have no pressure in finding our lender, or Home Insurance, or Home Warranty. Everything was taken care of by Amar’s team.
On the whole, both of them are honest, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly people. We have an excellent experience working with them. We highly recommend them to anyone who has any idea about buying a new home.

I want to thank Amar and Sri for their efforts in helping us get the perfect home in a pleasant and right neighborhood with great schools. I want to share my wonderful experience working with Amar, Sri, and Amar's team. We are first-time buyers. Amar helped us to win the first offer with the best deal. It was pleasant talking to Amar when we met the first time. He explained the process very clearly and the steps involved, and Amar and Team executed the perfect execution. Amar is a great negotiator. He went above and beyond negotiating with all stakeholders to get the best deal for us. He has developed the best strategy dynamically based on the situation on the offer day and made our dreams come true.
Amar has come up with different stages and timelines in the entire process. He flawlessly executed all the steps way before the timelines we have put upfront. Amar is involved in all the stages starting from loan pre-approval and underwriting, escrow, insurance, warranty, and closing. Sri has always been there, guiding us throughout the entire process, explaining all the aspects, and suggesting what is best for us. Amar connected to the team to get the loan approval, who promptly responded and provided the best interest rate in the market and excellent additional benefits with Amar's influence. Amar helped to get the best insurance quotes and made us close the deal with less closing costs.
Amar and Sri are always available to guide us throughout the process and make the home buying process very smooth. I would highly recommend contacting Amar for a great home buying experience with the best deal.

Our recent home selling experience was smooth and flawless due to Amar’s services and high-notch professionalism. Moving out of state, especially during these COVID times, Amar’s guidance and attitude to go the extra mile, starting from preparing the house to closure, was commendable.
His timely and valuable suggestions on the upgrades and references to many great resources helped simplify the house preparation part.
Once the house is prepared and handed over to Amar, we are entirely off hands and don’t have to deal with any unknowns. Amar’s attention to the details during staging and advanced technologies in creating 3D view photos, floor plans, and other required documentation upfront helped provide more confidence to the buyers.
Most importantly, the offer was accepted and closed as planned with over $110K more than the listed price. Considering the last sale of a property in the neighborhood at a much lower value, the price we got is a giant leap forward. All this was possible only because of Amar’s extraordinary marketing efforts and networking. I highly recommend Amar for all your real estate needs.

We have been looking for a new home in the bay area for around 2 years with no success. We decided to partner with Amar and Sri, since we had seen some of their past listings in our area.
It has been a great experience working with Sri and Amar, they have helped us through all aspects of the home buying process (e.g, mortgage, market analysis, closing process etc.) and helped us find a lovely home in Milpitas off the market.
It is not easy to get an off-market home in the bay area, given a crazy market, so we were very excited when they were able to negotiate a great deal for us.
We had a very challenging situation with the seller, and this is where having great realtor matters.
Sri and Amar kept us informed all along and managed the situation very effectively.
I wish I could have partnered with them sooner for my home buying needs.

We were so fortunate to have found Sri and Amar as our Realtor. They helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. Amar and Sri were patient as we looked at homes over several months and cautioned us about making unreasonable offers when we fell too quickly for any home that came our way.
In short, they were always on our side, working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Sri was that she was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than closing a deal. We would strongly recommend Amar and Sri to anyone.
Amar is a great negotiator. When we thought that this is a seller's market and it would be impossible to purchase during these crazy times, he called us and said, Congratulations, guys! We did it! Once again, I will always recommend Sri and Amar to anyone interested in investing in real estate!

We decided to work with Amar after looking at his great reviews on Zillow.
He exceeded all our expectations. We were proud homeowners within a
month of our house search. As first-time home buyers, we had a lot of
questions about the process, location, and price. Amar and Sri patiently
answered all our questions. In the first meeting itself, Amar came up with a
clear plan on handling the entire home buying process. He helped us
understand that there are many aspects of the house that we need to look
at other than appearance.
In this market of multiple offers, getting the offer accepted is one of the
most challenging things. Sri helped us in getting quick appointments to tour the
houses that we were interested in. When we informed Sri that we liked one
of the houses, Amar went through all the inspection reports and
disclosures to ensure no red flags and massive repair costs
after buying the house. They provided their honest opinion on every
property that we selected. Now comes the most challenging part of how much
to offer for the home. Sri helped us a lot to suggest a price that will
improve our chances of getting the offer accepted and ensure that it’s within our budget.
With multiple offers on the house, including cash offers, the seller was
planning to go for counteroffers which could have raised the price of the
house even higher. At one point, we already lost hope. But Amar was able
to convince the seller’s agent that our offer was one of the best, and it was
accepted. I don’t have words to thank Amar for his hard work and effort.
Amar and Sri had been very friendly, responsive, and handheld us
throughout the home buying process. We made the right decision to work with Amar and Sri.

Dear Amar and Sri Amar,
We are incredibly thankful to you both for your extraordinary efforts in winning our house in a very tough competition. We realized that to win an offer needs deep knowledge in the market, connections, the right strategy, negotiation skills, and you are at the top in all of those aspects. Within two months, we could win the house, and that’s just my second offer. We should highlight that Sri Amar helps explain and clarify all our doubts in the process. Right from winning the offer, you executed the plan quickly, and we never felt stressed anywhere in the process. Our strong recommendation to any of our friends is that, if you are serious about buying a house, don’t waste time. Just go to Amar. He will win your dream home for you.

My family and I would like to thank Amar being such a wonderful Realtor®. He managed to do something many of the other Realtors® could not, he helped us find our dream home. When we first began looking for houses, we were having a very hard time since the housing market was so busy. Most of the Realtors® just seemed to be interested in selling houses as fast as they could manage but Mr. Amarnath took his time to help us find a house with everything we hoped for. With two daughters, one going to the sixth grade and the other going to the ninth grade, we had to pay attention to the schools as well as the home itself. In the end he saved us up to 6k on closing costs and 10K less than the authorized offer price.
Being the first time buyers with lot of things to understand he never let us feel as first time home buyers. Once we liked the house he worked at mercurial speed to make sure we got the house, at same time he made sure that nothing was overlooked. We are really impressed by his knowledge of sellers mindset. we are also really impressed the way he treated us like one of his family members and the in the whole process he acted as though he is buying the house for his own family members

When me and my wife started to consider buying a new home, Amar’s name came up as a highly recommended agent through multiple friends. In our first meeting, Amar went through all the steps of home-buying process and explained different parameters which we need to look at when analyzing any home.
Whenever we were interested in any house, Amar’s wife Sri was extremely thorough in finding out all the pros and cons of that house in a quick time. If not for Sri, we may have ended up bidding for a house which was attractive from outside but had certain health hazard issues. When we decided to bid on the house that we are currently living in, Amar made sure to get the house within our price limit and did not ask us to raise the price during the bidding process.
Also, the entire process from bidding to escrow and closing was completely smooth and there were no delays at any point from Amar’s side. He always tried to keep all the parties involved on their toes and prevented us from any stress. Overall, I would recommend everyone to consider Amar for an honest and smooth home-home-buying experience.

We were first time home buyers and we came to know about Amar & Sri from a close friend. Our home buying experience was a breeze just because Amar and Sri put their heart and soul in this whole process. From wanting to own a home to owning a home took just three weeks. On one Sun morning we met Amar and explained our requirements and limitations in buying a home. Being an expert realtor Amar quickly understood our requirements and guided us by providing valuable feedback on type of house we should target for our budget, areas we should target considering future market appreciation etc. On Mon evening we talked to Sri in detail. Sri with extensive knowledge in Bay Area neighborhood explained areas good for raising a family, areas with great neighborhood and good houses in market. On Wed Sri guided us to a house, this house met all our requirements, and the neighborhood was impressive. We quickly expressed our interest in this house to Sri. On Thu Amar took charge and guided in the bidding process. There were 11 bids for the house already. Being an expert strategist, Amar helped us bid 5% less than the least offer and negotiated to make this deal happen. So as a buyer we realized that a good buyer’s agent was not someone who can bid highest and win, but someone who can bid least, negotiate and win. On Fri, it was Diwali eve and we couldn’t be any happier, we had entered into contract with the Seller. On Diwali my friends told us that we were lucky in getting a good house for a lesser price. For an outsider it was luck since they did not see us work hard, but as an insider we attribute our good luck to Amar’s & Sri’s hard work. Without Amar’s homework on quality of construction, Sri’s understanding of our requirements and guidance to right home, neighborhood & area, and most of all Amar’s negotiation skills in bidding phase, we could not have owned this home. Next the loan processing had to be completed in just two weeks. Suited for our financial and closure situation, Amar guided us to the best lender for Escrow and Bank Loan process. The whole process of Legal and Bank work was executed by Amar, Sri and Team in a quick, effective and smooth fashion. By the end of three weeks, we had the keys to our new home and we were proud owners. I think we got lucky to work with Amar and Sri. Amar and Sri were not only our buying agent but also our mentors and friends in this whole process. Looking forward to getting guidance from and working with Amar & Sri. Vijay Kumar

Wow!!! Amar and Sri are the best realtors. I am a first time home buyer in the bay area with minimal knowledge about the real estate market. I started off very vaguely with budget being the priority. First virtual meeting with Amar itself was very comfortable, he explained each step in detail, listened to what I needed, gave me pointers to what and how to decide about a property. Within a week we were able to get an awesome property in a good area, good neighborhood, good schools and all this within our budget. Amar and Sri were very active in closing every step on time and with absolute transparency. Amar and Sri are a great team who are honest and true professionals with a personal touch.

We were fortunate to find Amar and Sri for our home buying process. We were first time home buyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. As my wife was pregnant, we were in a desperate need to find a home to welcome our daughter and start a new life with her. It was such a crucial time for both of us but the entire process of home buying was priceless.
We came to know about Amar from online reviews. We first had a one on one session with Amar (highly recommended) where he explained the entire home buying process to us. Sri was very much involved with the initial shortlisting and gave us reasons for choosing a property vs not choosing it. She gave several insights which we otherwise would have struggled to get. This included critical viewpoints of some houses which we shortlisted.
After identifying our dream home within the first month, Amar and Sri put an aggressive offer to the seller on our behalf at a price we were very comfortable with. It was Seller’s first open house, they had many offers and weren't entertaining anyone until they met the price they wanted. But Amar had the perfect strategy planned out to win. Amar and his team literally worked day and night to win us the offer by convincing the seller.
Amar and Sri were personally involved in all areas like Escrow process, loan and to closing the deal. Their guidance was really helpful as not once we were skeptical about any decision that we took. They were always available any time of the day, whether after office hours or during weekends. I remember receiving emails at 4 am in morning with highly informative process updates.
Thank you Amar, Sri and the team for helping us secure our dream home and start a new phase of our life with our daughter. I would highly recommend you to anyone I come across who is in need of a buying agent for their home. Once again, thanks a lot for all your efforts, we are proud owners of our dream home now.

Amar and Sri were true and trusted partners and advisers in our
successful home-buying experience. They have great insights on
the bay area real estate market and helped really narrow our
search to meet our specific home-buying objectives. Both Sri
and Amar are extremely systematic in their approach to helping
their clients by providing clear accountability at each stage of
the home-buying process. Sri provided deep insights into the
value of specific homes and correlated it to various aspects such
as neighborhood, schools, location, scope of appreciation,
rentability and helped provide a convincing and objective
comparison between the various options that fit our specific
criteria. Once we identified the home, Amar worked diligently
with us, even taking time outside office hours, to go over in great
detail the disclosures and ensuring that there were no red flags
on any of the technical (foundation, structure etc.) or the legal
aspects of the home and also helped us estimate any repairs
needed in the short term. When it comes to putting together a
winning offer and negotiation, Amar demonstrated his
excellence as one of the best in the industry! He was able to
negotiate a convincing offer and help us magically win the home
amidst an extremely competitive situation with multiple offers.
Beyond the buying process, Amar and Sri also work with an
expert group of professionals that we could leverage for various
associated needs like home insurance, warranty, property
management etc. They go above and beyond in clarifying every

Amar and Sri helped us get our very first home and boy that was a great experience! They helped us get past the "first time home buying expectations" of everything being new and shiny to actually looking at the potential and real estate value of a house when we were house hunting. Amar was very patient with us and helped us to fully consider all similar options available.
Once we decided to put an offer on this house, Amar and Sri helped us come to a price point which would give us the best chance of acceptance. Amar followed up with the seller agent all along after the offer was submitted. The sellers had some doubts about our financial situation given we had put the best offer possible and had not provided proof of additional funds to cover a situation like a low appraisal. Amar talked the seller’s agent through their doubts and assured them ours was the best and clean offer. Our offer was accepted in the first go! No counter offer, nothing! Amar has quite the negotiation skills!
Well, as the sellers had feared, the appraisal from Bank Of America came in lower by about 40K. Additionally over the same weekend the interest rates on housing loans went up, putting us in a tough spot. If we decided to go with another appraisal with another bank, that would mean getting a higher rate of interest. We did decide to go with Wells Fargo. Our agent was Yogesh Rane, who by the way was amazing as well. He got us an appraisal and loan approval within 4 days! The appraisal came in at 5K above the selling price and we were relieved. Amar used this situation to re-negotiate the price with the sellers, all in the background and brought the selling price down by 20K! Bringing the price down in this hot seller's market in the bay area is a feat only Amar could have pulled off. By the time we closed, we had already made 25K equity on the house!
While the mortgage application was being processed, Amar was in constant communication and kept all the parties in the loop. Amar coordinated the whole process of escrow and closing.
My wife and I had an amazing buying experience. We would love to work with Amar again if we are back in the market in the future.

We want to thank Amar for all his help these past few months. His hard work helped us find our dream home, and we couldn't be more grateful or excited about this next step in our journey. He is like our family now and his team is some of the most professional yet warm and friendly people we have met. Amar always pleasantly surprised us with how he went above and beyond our expectations every step of the way in our home purchase process - from advising on the pros and cons of homes, locations and neighborhoods to mitigating any concerns of the loan/title company to guiding us with the closing processes/steps. It felt like a one-stop shop for the entire home buying journey which made our lives really easy and the process enjoyable. The transparent communication and constant availability to answer all our questions any time of the day is something very rare to find. He is the best and we couldn't have gotten our dream home without his expertise, guidance and support.

We would like to express our gratitude for all the service Amar and Sri put together in our home buying journey. We were overwhelmed to know that our offer was getting picked for the first time. The effort and tireless follow up they do for their clients is unbelievable. It was a streamlined process and so transparent in all the steps happening in the backend as well. They did a commendable job; kudos to their team. We strongly feel that our home dream came true only because of Amar and Sri. They both were there every time to answer all our doubts. More than being their client, we enjoyed their humble nature and friendly approach. They treated every client with great respect and care, no matter if they had a bigger budget or a lower budget. I would say they both hard to find personalities. I would love to recommend every single friend of ours to their service. I wish them all success in their future endeavor as well. Thank You, Amar and Sri!

We got to know about Amar from one of our friends when we lost hopes in our house search. As first-time home buyers, we had several questions about the process, location, price, and many questions. I feel like we do not know the crucial things to look for in a house rather than the appearance. Amar and Sri answered all the questions we had, put up a clear plan on how we tackle the home buying process and executed it very well. They provided their honest opinion on every property that we selected. It helped us a lot in making an informed decision to write an offer. Amar goes out of his way to get us the best possible deal, and our case is a sheer example. Even though our offer was not accepted initially, Amar was very diligent in following up with Listing Agent. Amar acted quickly and accepted our offer as the first contract dissolved even though we were not the highest bidders. Amar and Sri had been extremely nice, responsive, and handheld us throughout the home buying process. We are pleased to make the right choice to work with Amar and Sri..

Amar and Sri are rockstars! This is the TEAM to go to if you aspire to have the best home. Where do I start? Well, let me start from the beginning. This is our second home. We did buy our first home with Amar's guidance. So we are aware of the home buying process, which can be stressful. Amar did go through the process before starting, and I understood a digital transformation and framework that I did not see during my first home purchase. This impressed me since being the best REALTOR in the country. Amar continually works on improving the process to make it seamless for his clients.
We were not in a rush as we have a home to live in and wanted to find the right next home. This is where my favorite support pillar comes in – Sri. She is just amazing. I can vouch that she is here for your best interest, and she doesn't care if she loses a deal. Sri always advises on the house based on your family needs – First-time buyer? Do you have kids? Are you looking for an investment or something you want to call home? Do you need a backyard? Will the house appreciate it? She will give her best opinion and looks out for you as if you are her family. That is what stands out. I was surprised when Amar asked about our opinion on a property. Sri replied before saying it is not the ideal property and continuing looking. That moved me. You can pick up your phone and chat with her as you would with your family. All you get is honesty.
Now we found our ideal home, and then comes the master negotiator – Amar. He won us the deal when people were willing to pay way more. This sometimes looks unreal but trust me – THIS IS TRUE. He presents your value in both financial and emotional terms – That is what closes deals. You either pay a lot more and buy or pay just the right and complement other intangibles that Amar brings and win. You decide!
Now, after we won the deal, Amar, as always, signs up for fast closure. We wanted to close this in 25 days, given Christmas, New year holidays and the ongoing pandemic. Nothing Stops AMAR and his team. He has the best team to get everything in place. We did have few challenges in closing on time – I won't go into details – but Amar assured me not to worry. He said that this is his family's deal and he would close it on time. And guess what, he did. I told him I would want to close it on 01/8 as it is an auspicious day. He made sure that we had the notary come in on the day for our signature, and he recorded it the same day and gave us the key. This is unprecedented given the pandemic.
I want to reiterate that I will always BUY or SELL only with Amar, and I recommend you all to do the same. I always say that Amar is a sponge – He absorbs all the pressure and makes sure you enjoy the home buying process. I enjoy working with this GREAT team!

Thanks a ton, Amar and Sri, for helping us to get our dream home. We sincerely appreciate taking care of things like family, starting from guiding us to the right home till we move in. It is our pleasure to share our home buying experience.
We started looking for houses through online portals, and that is how we came across Amar's profile in Zillow. After finding reviews on multiple online platforms about Amar, we decided to choose him as our Realtor. We contacted Amar in October 2020, through a phone call. Amar promptly replied to our call and set up a meeting the same day. He explained to us in detail about the home buying process. We were impressed in the first call itself, seeing how thorough he is and how he laid out his plans. We knew that we had chosen the right person.
Sri explained to us in detail about the market and how we should select the homes. She had an excellent understanding of the location and knew the value of homes in that particular area. She also explained to us how the value changes over the years. Sri helped us in narrowing our search. Sri made us realize that we shouldn't just look at the home's interior, but it is equally important to look at other aspects of the home.
Once we found our dream home, Amar was at the forefront, making a strong case for our offer, whereas Sri was working with us and walking us through everything that we needed to know. Given the number of offers that home had, we weren't expecting to win the bid. But to our surprise, Amar called us and informed us that our offer was accepted. The Seller accepted our offer. It's all because of Amar's strong persuasive skills and internal connections with sellers.
Amar has a great team, starting with the lender who gave us the home's best mortgage rate. The insurance agent, the home warranty agent, the escrow agent, etc., all of them were quick to jump in and help us. Amar's team helped us close the deal within 3 weeks, even during the pandemic and holiday season in November. Overall it took less than 1.5 months for the entire process. Amar was keen on following up with everyone involved in the whole process. He frequently updated us on the status. His management skills were commendable.
Overall the whole process was very smooth. Amar and Sri executed the plans perfectly and were personally involved in every activity. They involved us in every step, and the entire process was very transparent to us. They were readily available whenever we called them. We would highly recommend Amar and Sri for all your home buying process, especially for first time home buyers.

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!

When I inquired in my network for a realtor, whom I can count upon for buying a dream home, few names came up; among all, Amar and Sri stood out on the list. Soon after, I met Amar in person and was amazed by his background as a techie, in-depth knowledge of the local market, genuine care for their clients, willingness to go the extra mile to help first-time buyers like us. Amar and Sri have been very instrumental in looking at the property from various angles (value proposition, neighborhood, school district, and what not) and steering us towards winning our dream home through the right strategy, best negotiation by all possible means, flawless execution, and personally involved in every step of the process(Escrow, Mortgage, Home Insurance/Warranty, Closing, Referrals for remodeling contractors/Re-Keying and the list goes on and on) from scheduling the tour of the property to scheduling the house warming ceremony. It was a one-stop solution for all Real Estate needs, and I am glad I was in the right hands. Honestly, I couldn't thank Amar and Sri enough for going the extra mile to make this entire process so pleasant and seamless. One of the best decisions I made to work with you. You exceeded all our expectations. I firmly believe this collaboration will last long. We would highly recommend Amar, Sri & his entire team searching for the right home per your need, collaboration in making an informed decision, proper deal negotiation, flawless execution, and seamless experience throughout. Thank you, Amar and Sri, You are the BEST in the valley!

Awesome, what an experience ... better than a roller coaster ride. I was little hesitant to sell my property during this pandemic and as well with respect to other homes selling less than expected but only because of my realtor Amar who was able to spearhead this project by able to sell my property at a better price and not less which was a great relief to me. I strongly suggest potential seller/buyer to talk to Amar to get a glimpse of how knowledgable and fast he is.

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.

Amar was recommended to us by a friend. We were already in the market looking for a house (put in offers for a couple of houses without success) before we switched to Amar/Sri. We put in an offer and got accepted all within 2 days from when we got introduced to them. We would not have got our house without the diligence and effort of Amar/Sri. Right from the start, we knew that we are dealing with consummate professionals. Amar and Sri are very methodical and have clearly well-defined roles and expectations. The whole process was a well-executed project with milestones/deadlines etc. The icing on the cake was us getting the house despite not being the highest $ bid. Fo buying a house in the hot bay area market, we needed an edge over other offers, Amar/Sri gave us that edge.

Amar can get the job done and can close the deal of any type and any size. I would highly recommend Amar and the team to anyone looking to buy a property in the bay area.

4th real estate transaction with Amar and Sri team, but it's my first time I've partnered with a close friend to buy this property for investment purposes. Given this partnership arrangement, I want everything to go well right from the start. It was an easy decision for me to go with Amar and Sri again because I trust them and their unique ability to find exceptional properties, coupled with proven execution skills.
I convinced my friend that we should go with Amar. I set up an intro meeting just three months back. I requested Amar to help us find a great investment property, given our new partnership. As an investor, you need a trusted partner. Amar's attention to detail, knowledge of the local market quickly impressed my friend. We decided to go with Amar to maximize the returns in a short time.
Amar and Sri reached out to us a few weeks back following our initial conversation. They shared with us about this investment property that would meet all our needs and told us that they would buy this property themselves and asked if we are interested in it. As soon as I heard about their interest, we quickly put an offer within 24 hours of our conversation. The next day Amar did his magic and closed the deal, which helped us to buy this property $100K LESS than the market value in the best neighborhood of Milpitas!
It is hard to find someone like AMAR and SRI who genuinely care about his client's needs and protect your interest in every way possible. Amar's advice and guidance through this process were invaluable. We can't wait to do another transaction through this partnership.

It is with great pleasure and honor that we write this recommendation for Amar Amaranth, THE Realtor and share our unique buying experience with AMAR extraordinary standard of “Excellency in Service” that truly defines “E=MC2” Service. AMAR is ONE STOP Shop for your real estate needs. Period! I’m NOT a first time home buyer and have had worked with many agents in the past. Trust me and you look no further. Bottom line summary for you- AMAR got us a deal on the first day we MET in Person, AMAR saved us over 75K with fire sure negotiation , MANAGED to close the deal BEFORE open House in a most competitive and highly desired Mission San Jose District. Have you worked with Realtor who stayed up until 1AM for a client needs and work around the clock next day to close the deal?. Sounds unbelievable right? BUT it’s true…
Let me start with this first- AMAR is truly a “GODSEND” for us. We were emotionally drained out in the first 2 weeks of trying to buy a home in challenging market with aggressive buyers. I reached out Amar in desperate personal situation having only 3 weeks left to buy a home. On My first phone call with Amar, I started with do you accept this challenge? 3 weeks only, Mission San Jose neighbourhood only, Fixed budget range. Can you work with me?. He said Yes and I told him “you don’t have to explain who you are and I have done my homework researching on you – saying that I’ve literally spent over 2 hours reading all your client feedbacks. If there is ANYONE that can do this job, it has to be YOU. And He PROVED it that I was right in mere 5 days. From that first phone call and three days later I personally met Amar first time in person and the next following day he managed to close a deal AND saved US over 75K which is something not everyone can do.
It is hard to find someone like AMAR who genuinely care about his client needs and protect your interest in every way possible. Amar recommendations were very best in the field, from insurance to inspection, warranty that saved lot of money in the process. His advice and guidance through this process was invaluable. His attention to detail, knowledge of the market and “Relax… We will guide you THE ENTIRE PROCESS “approach was something unique that we have experienced with.
Amar is simply THE BEST. A true commitment for lifetime is what you get from Amar. No Realtor will work and provide an excellent service and continue to support your needs in the way that Amar did because sometimes even via email, phone call just the communication itself, we felt that he was working just for us AND thinking that he is doing this for over such a long time speaks volumes about Amar’s commitment towards his clients. We can’t imagine going through this process with anyone but him. I have no doubt in my mind, if you buy or sell property in Bay Area and not using AMAR then you are missing something for sure.

We were recommended to Amar by a co-worker. My co-worker's actual words were, "If you are looking for a home, Amar is the guy! He will make sure you will get the best home". That feedback held true. We brought our first home with the help of Amar and the team. It took us literally one weekend of showing, and two days later, we had won our first bid ever. Amar is extraordinarily detail-oriented. He has a step-by-step process charted out, which he will explain+share with you after the first time you meet. It was beneficial for us as we were first time home buyers. It helped us understand the different milestones in the process we were going to cover. He also helped us finalize our zip code. We had five different towns we were interested in, and they all were in different county's. Amar's real estate investor experience is precious here. He gave great insights, which led us into nailing down to only two towns. Before meeting Amar, this same elimination process was very tough, confusing, and even bad choices, I feel, from an investment perspective. From there, Sri guides with the pan out view of how great these homes you narrowed are, and which ones you should place bets on, also which ones you should let go. Sri is in constant touch during this process. For us, we were lucky. We spoke to Amar Thursday, Friday we sent a list of our top 5 homes. Sat/Sunday, we viewed 3 of our top 5, and Wednesday, we bid and won the bid. If you reside in the Bay Area, you must know how challenging the home buying process is. It's expensive and very competitive bidding wars. We did not have the strongest bid. But by Amar's magic, we won the bid. Amar and Sri are a great team - very aggressive, dedicated, focused, and passionate real estate agents. He gives his best and gets the home you love. You can rely on Sri and Amar. Amar also lines up the Escrow and other technical details like home loan and insurance after winning the bid. They are the best deal you will get. We learned that doing the homework of scouting it for ourselves and realized the best value is what Amar had lined up. Lastly, we brought our home during the lockdown. Sri informed us of all the protocols to follow to make it safe. All in all, it was a smooth home buying sailing process.

We want to thank Amar and Sri for providing exceptional support and help in getting our new home. Being a first-time home buyer, it's very challenging to understand all the market dynamics, especially in the pandemic situation surrounded by a high/ hot seller's market in the Bay area.
We got in touch with Amar through a referral from one of our friends who had a very positive home buying experience dealing with Amar. In the beginning, Amar explained to us all the steps of home buying in great detail. Also, he identified responsibilities for all of us during every step of the process. He expedited processes of loan pre-approval by introducing us to a loan officer from Wells Fargo.
Meanwhile, we had a detailed discussion with Sri about our preferences, budget, and choices. I must say – Sri has in & out in-depth knowledge of every South Bay neighborhood as she would explain us advantages (like appreciation, school ratings, diversity) and disadvantages (like creek related issues, nearby transformer lines, big parking garages, bad shops around, commercial properties in the area) of a neighborhood by just listening to the address. She was very patient and easy to talk throughout all the discussions and meticulous in ensuring all of her clients are safe while arranging home visits during COVID time. We liked her extra efforts to know the client's needs and building that close relationship.
We started the process in the beginning of August; we visited 4 houses (of course, browsed and drove through hundreds) and decided to put our first offer in the last week of August. Amar went the extra mile in locking an excellent deal for us by negotiating very hard and making a great offer for the seller. We were surprised that our offer got picked though there was an all-cash offer on the table. This was all because of Amar's dedication, enthusiasm, and a solid understanding of market dynamics based on his vast experience as a Realtor. He was transparent throughout the process and put all the effort into making sure we are getting a great deal in terms of money and the quality of the house. Once the offer is accepted, Amar made the next steps easy. He worked with the loan officer, escrow officer, selling agent, appraisal officer, and insurance agent. Amar works with an exceptional team - I took quotes for loans and insurance from 3 4 different banks/ companies. However, nothing could beat what was offered by Amar's team!! That was solidifying our belief that we are working with the right set of people. Throughout all the steps, Amar followed up with the respective people to make sure everything is on track and kept updating us.
We are done with all the steps and are proud owners of a beautiful house in total 7 weeks, and that's all possible because of Amar & Sri!! We would highly recommend their services as they made the entire process smooth, transparent, fast, and (little) stress-free.

We want others to know the beautiful experience we had buying our home with Amar and his amazing team. They helped us buy our home on our terms.
We were shopping around, not very serious when we started but we never felt pressured to buy or bid at a specific price. We also got good advice on the price point we should bid to get home.
The house was a fallout of escrow at $1080000 and the appraisal at $1080000. The same house Amar negotiated for $1040000 when the listing of the house was $1048000. Amar managed to get the property below listing price. However, they had multiple offers and craziness happening in the current real estate market.
Sri, on the other hand, helped us understand the Bay Area market, neighborhoods, things to consider before looking into the property. She is very knowledgeable about all the areas in the bay. Any listing we were interested in, she immediately knew the property along with its pros and cons. She was very accurate with each property that came to the market and knew exactly what we were looking for. She was there in every step, and calmly explained every question we had related to the property.
Amar is a retired engineer. He had everything documented in an excel sheet with things to take care of when buying a property. It had to do what, like the lender's responsibilities, insurance details, our responsibility, and things Amar and Sri had to do after the offer was accepted. Including selecting the best home insurance and other things.
Buying a new home is a daunting process, and they made us feel comfortable, made the whole process seamless. Amar and Sri are very responsive and prompt. We would highly recommend them as a realtor.

We firstly want to thank Amar, Sri, and Team for providing exceptional support and help in getting our new home. We have been thinking about an upgrade from our current home and had lots of questions and confusion before we started. We got Amar's contact from some previous conversations when we bought our first home four years ago. When we were looking for an upgrade, Amar came first to mind.
Listing current home:
We first set up an introductory call with Amar; given the COVID situation, we had a zoom call. Amar clearly explained the whole process of listing and buying a new home. Once we signed the listing contract, Amar sent out a detailed execution list with many steps to happen for the execution. Given it's a new experience for us, these execution steps were incredibly useful. Amar always emailed us about the progress on each step. After listing the house, we got offers without any contingencies within ten days and above the listing price. Overall it was a smooth process for us as a seller. Amar did most of the heavy lifting negotiating and bringing all involved parties and taking it to the finish line.
Buying a new home:
Once we had our listing sorted out, Amar introduced us to Sri, to help us find our next home. Sri has so many insights on the bay area and helped us choose the right neighborhood to look for, given our emphasis on schools and safety. Finally, after a very insightful conversion with Sri, we decided on the neighborhoods, and we went on our way to look for homes that we liked around the area. Once we sent out around ten listings that were to our liking, and then Sri went on to research those listings and filtered out the bad apples, which we were not aware of. Sri emphasized the long-term value of the home and took us on the right path to find our perfect home. Once we found the home we liked, then came the offer part. Before we put down the offer, Amar went over the disclosures and other paperwork and cleared out everything was good before proceeding further. The house we saw had multiple offers, and the way Amar and the team worked blew our mind. They are masters in negotiating, out of 5 other strong offers, they negotiated with the other listing agent. They helped us put a very good offer. And at midnight in the night (yes they work hard) after an anxious evening, we got a phone call from Sri and Amar, letting us know the good news that our offer was accepted. They made it look easy, but clearly, they went above and beyond to make sure we are doing the right thing.
Amar also helped us with his excellent team to get us the highly exceptional team starting from Financing, Home warranty, insurance, and others. End of the day, we feel great that we went with Amar and the team. Thanks again.

* First-time buyer * COVID pandemic * Competitive environment * When we first decided to purchase a house, we did not know what it involves to own a home. When we talked to Amar for the first time (for almost more than one hour), he explained the entire process starting from house search to having a key in our hand. He listened to every question and answered thoroughly. That was the first sign of having such a reliable and knowledgeable person as our agent. After that, we started looking for listings we were interested in. We always received the first-hand opinion from Sri Amar whether to even look at that property. Given the COVID situation, it was very timely help, and her suggestions helped us narrow down our search. When we decided our house and put an offer, Amar and the team excelled in all possible ways to get our offer accepted (though it was not the highest bid offer). One suggestion from Amar was to write a personal letter to the seller, and that did magic. After our offer got accepted (with the tightest deadline of 21 days with the COVID situation), the entire execution of the plan by Amar and the team was phenomenal. Amar provided contact with a housing loan agent, home insurance agent, home warranty agent who all are dependable. We do not need to step out of our house to look for anything. The entire collaboration and execution were so powerful that we have a key to our house on day 20. Even after closing the deal, Amar and Sri provided valuable suggestions. As per Amar, this is just the beginning of our new relationship. We are impressed with the way Amar and his teamwork and provide a personal touch. We will highly recommend him for any real estate requirement.

I wanted to buy a property in Fremont. Amar explained to me regarding the home buying process and all of our roles and responsibilities.
I started to shortlist the homes I liked, and Sri helped set up the in-house visit timing with the seller's broker. In a couple of weeks, I was able to finalize a home and updated Amar and Sri.
Amar then worked very hard during the contract process by placing me at the right spot, which allowed me to get the home. At this stage, the one crucial point is that even as I was willing to pay more for the house, Amar got me the home at a lesser price, which is incredible. It clearly shows his confidence in the field he is in, which is excellent.
I went with a bank which gave me pre-approval. However, due to the COVID situation, they could not approve my loan. At this point, I thought that I would lose this new home. However, Amar got me extra days from the seller's end, and at this point, I went with a different bank for the loan.
Amar did not lose hope, and he was under tremendous pressure for all sides. However, irrespective of being under pressure, he tried to handle everyone with compassion and calm nature. A few times, he even pushes people hard to make things happen on time.
Finally, I got my new home only because Amar and I and my family are always grateful for Amar Sri. Whoever is in the market now for home buying, I would strongly recommend Amar and team. He is a one-stop-shop and will go to heaven and earth to make it happen.
The service Amar is doing is incredible, and I wish him all the best and no way why no one can beat him, and he is the top realtor in our bay area.

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 market that is softening due to COVID-19. These are simply outstanding results. Amar’s experience and strategy really came to bear when our home inspection report showed that there were significant areas of concern with our home. Amar worked with us and the buyers to ensure that the issues were fixed without any effect on the sales price. To top that both we and the buyers were very satisfied with the outcome. How he did it we don’t know but all we can say is that we were simple bowled over. Amar is an expert in two-sided negotiations and 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 more happy with the results Amar achieved for us.

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 to do date on the proceedings, and he was available for text/call/email pretty much 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, 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 made with Amar and the team. The house had more than 10 offers, and ours was not the highest offer for the home. 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 a lot of 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 contact 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 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!.

I had a pleasant home buying experience with Amar as my agent. I had been looking at homes to buy for several months before I met Amar. After I met Amar, I became a home owner within a short few weeks. With real-estate websites giving all the information needed it might seem an agent is not absolutely needed. But in a challenging market it is very important to have someone like Amar as your real estate agent.
Main advantages when having Amar as your agent:
Amar brings in a team to take care of entire real estate transaction. You get a hassle free buying experience.
Amar is extremely committed. If he thinks that a property is suitable for his client, he will try his very best to get it while staying within the client’s comfort level.
Amar reputation for guaranteed results gives an extra edge when offers are close and works as a close team.
Amar being very proactive and focused execution gives a huge advantage in current challenging market environment.
Amar believes on establishing long term relationship with his clients. He is not someone who just vanishes after finishing the transaction. He really cares about his clients and wants to get the best deal that is suitable for them.
Amar will definitely help with his treasure trove of knowledge in real estate.

Amar and Sri are amazing professionals who truly care about what your requirements are and propose the listings which they really think of value. They are not shy in letting you know that the listing you might have like need not be of good value in the future.
Amar had did lot of research for our house purchase and also had worked on through the overall documentation needed for us to get approved by Bank Of America within 2 weeks! He was able to get us the perfect bid at a great purchase price!
Sri is really helpful in making sure we have received all the information + property related stuff.
They followup regularly to see how you are feeling overall in the new house and happy to help if needed!
Definitely recommend them to our family and friends!

My wife and I had the pleasure of being introduced to Amar in Feb 2020 by an acquaintance of ours who had previously worked with him. Even before the first discussion, we got a really good feeling regarding his expertise by glancing at the numerous glowing recommendations on LinkedIn. During our first meeting, Amar took the time to patiently explain the home buying process and the current housing market situation. The key process steps and responsible stakeholders were defined early on! As first time home buyers with a young infant, this was invaluable for us and helped us save valuable time. Then we were put in touch with Sri Amar, who has a wealth of information regarding locality and background information. While we had to put a brief pause in our house search due to COVID-19, Amar and Sri were super understanding and emphasized that safety was first. They helped us to focus on the right area, which met most of our criteria. As we restarted the process in June, they were responsive and provided a lot of guidance. We did many drive-around (due to Covid-19). Sri Amar provided almost instant feedback on the choices homes we were interested in. She guided us in aspects that we did not even think about – like avoiding busy areas because we had a young one! The offer process itself was a unique experience. We were able to get a private viewing of our future house 10 hours before offers were due! With a lot of timely discussions with Amar and Sri, we were able to pull all of the info needed to get a good offer in! The fact that our offer was accepted when there were better/cash offers on the table is a testament to Amar's negotiation skills (total of 13 offers). He fought for us so passionately when even we had given up hope, exhibiting his professionalism at the highest level. Even Amar remarked that this was one of his toughest negotiations in recent times, and he came out on top! (It was a Relocation transaction and very challenging in many ways). When we saw the email at around midnight congratulating us on our offer being accepted, we could hardly believe it! Our future home awaited us, where we would see our son grow up! If all of this was not enough, Amar's most reliable trick was saved for last. His amazing network of crucial people for the closing process is mind-boggling! He was able to introduce us to the right Mortgage Agent, Insurance Agent, etc. Amar personally oversaw the process and ensured all of the points of contact reacted accordingly so that we could close on time! He and his team also ensured that we were kept in the loop for all decisions, really ensuring that we worked together. Even after closing, he continued to support us with key contacts for the locksmith, utility changeover, security, etc. In the end, it worked out for us that we were able to work with Amar! I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to buy (or sell), as they get the job done! We will certainly be returning to Amar for our future needs.

We started looking to buy a new home last September, and the first step was to search for a good or rather best realtor in the bay area. Looking for an excellent, aggressive realtor as we did not have a pleasant experience with our prior realtor when we bought our previous home.
I spoke to Amar, and we instantly connected. Amar has in-depth experience in every aspect of home buying. As soon as I started the conversation, we were able to discuss many things as he would understand buyer's requirements very quickly. He would make strong recommendations on how we should proceed. Also, Amar was very proactive in suggesting how we should rent our previous home and was very helpful in understanding the rental market. These suggestions are unbiased in any manner. I still remember our first meeting with Amar. We discuss many things which would take several meetings with any other realtor ( in my opinion and experience).
Once we decided on the budget and location with Amar's inputs, the formal and professional process started from Amar's team, which first started with Sri Amar. Sri Amar is immensely down to earth and understands every aspect of home buying, just like Amar. Sri Amar makes sure to filter the homes based on our preference. There were instances where I would ask Sri Amar if a particular home is worth visiting. Sri Amar would make sure to get into the details and see if the house is worth visiting. She said NO to many such homes before we found our home.
Sri/ Amar had to make the offer to our current home very aggressively during holiday times (December). We are traveling internationally. Sri/ Amar ensured to work very closely with the sellers and us, negotiate it very aggressively, and get us a good deal.
After winning the offer, the next steps executed an optimal way until we got the keys to our new home.
I must say Sri and Amar are great at what they do and are very professional with a personal touch to everything they do :) :)
It was a great pleasure working with Sri and Amar. If anyone wants seamless home buying experience - now you know whom to go to :) Sri and Amar realtors. Thank you, Sri and Amar.

Amar and Sri helped us buy our first home. We were lucky to have their guidance and expertise. They stayed on top of every activity throughout the process, ensuring that we successfully get the house of our dreams.
Amar is a great negotiator. Because of his negotiation skills, our offer was accepted even though it was not the best offer for the seller. Amar used the right strategy focusing on our strengths, and as a result, we were able to win the house. Both Amar and Sri were easily accessible, and just an email/call/text away. Being first time home buyers, we needed much help, and they always kept us informed and helped us make the right decisions.
There are many complicated steps in the process: loan approval, home insurance, home warranty, escrow, and closing. They were personally involved in every step. They helped us get the best possible service. With their help, we were able to get a low-interest rate from a well-known lender. They even helped us get the best possible insurance and warranty policy. The escrow process also went super smoothly.
They worked tirelessly in the background for our success, ensuring that we do not have to worry about anything. In my opinion, it was a perfect execution, and I would highly recommend Amar and Sri.

Amar & Sri are a great team. They are the best realtor if you are serious at housing market in the competitive bay area. We have worked with them multiple times now and every single time they beat their own performance!
Sri is very knowledgable about the housing neighborhood and always comes up with great locations. She has spent a number of years in the prime market and has a great knack at suggesting locations.
Amar is very professional and through with the whole home buying and selling process. He takes the stress and anxiety in this process, especially in such a hot bay area market. His negotiations are unbelievable. He has always got us the deal, and that too at a price favorable to us.
Amar & Sri are family to us and we would keep going to them for any advice and help with our home needs. We strongly recommend to anyone who is looking to find their home and make their dreams come true.

Thank you, Amar & Sri, for helping us get our dream home. When we first contacted Amar in May, we were clueless about the home buying process. Without his help and guidelines, we could not have reached this milestone.
We were doubtful if it was the right decision to buy a house amidst the pandemic and Shelter-in-place. After talking to Amar about our concerns and expectations, he gave us a clear picture of the process. He explained all the steps and how he and Sri will be involved in each step. He connected us to a lender who could close the sale in 21 days. We realized this is important for sellers to close the house in as little time as possible.
Sri helped us find our perfect home. She guided us to find a home that fit our current need and will also be a good investment for the future. We realized that there is much more to a home than newly remodeled cabinets and kitchen. It is all about LOCATION! There were many evenings when we talked for hours about different properties. She gave us clear insight into why some properties are not right for us.
Finally, we found a property with everything that we looked for, and Sri gave us the green flag. Amar explained the disclosures of the house very well to us. He presented a clean offer to the seller and negotiated a good deal for us by working around the clock. We got the house with new furniture all at list price, which was 30K less than what the seller expected.
Even after moving into the house, Amar and Sri continued to help us to sort out everything. We are grateful to have known them, and we appreciate all their efforts in helping us land in a beautiful home.

I have received Amar's contact from one of my friend, and I have scheduled some time and met him in his office. We had a detailed discussion, patiently clarified all my queries, and explained how the bay area market is.
Amar has started sharing me house listing based on various requirements starting from schools, locality, house models, etc.
On every step, Amar/Sri was answering all my queries very patiently. If it were someone else, they would have run away. Amar also helped me in connecting with the right lender who has good domain understanding.
Amar and Sri are always available to clarify any questions, and they have been sincere in each step. Amar had very strategic thinking and knew how to negotiate the detail. This was my first house in the bay area, and the market here is very competitive. Amar and Sri have helped in crafting the best proposition that would keep other competitors far behind.
All in all, Amar & team is a One-Stop solution for any home buyers.

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 had 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 were 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 the 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. Amar and team 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 to anyone without hesitation.

My name is Manohar; I never thought I could have my dream home in the Bay area with a 5% down payment with good neighborhood & schools. Then my friend introduced me to Amar & Sri.
Amar walked me through his 5 steps process; I was very much impressed with the process. After a few weeks, we liked a home in a great neighborhood & Schools; I had no hopes that the seller would accept my offer as there were higher offers with a 20% down payment. Then I received a message from Amar & Sri saying that the seller has accepted my offer.
Amar & Sri had done superb negotiation with an excellent strategy to get our offer accepted. Our whole family is very much thankful to Amar & Sri.
We want to give 5 stars Rating to Amar & Sri work in the below areas:
1. THE BEST DEAL Negotiation by ALL possible means
2. PERFECT EXECUTION of the process
3. Winning HOME with RIGHT STRATEGY
4. PERSONALLY involvement in ALL areas of home BUYING
5. COLLABORATION in informed decision making
6. PROCESS GUIDANCE throughout Home BUYING PROCESS
7. Staying on TOP of EVERY activity in the whole process to make sure

8. FOLLOW UP after we moved into a new home to check if we need any

Amar has been very clear in the process of home buying. In our first meeting itself, he explained every step in detail. We loved his work ethic, where we established that Sri, Amar, and we all need to agree to go ahead with the offer. Amar and Sri were always available to have a word and answer any questions that we have. They made sure we completely understand and are satisfied with the answers. We were impressed by Sri’s knowledge of the neighborhoods and the investment perspective she gave us. She poured her heart to make sure we were buying the right home for the best price. It gave us so much confidence in our decision to buy home. We were stunned by Amar’s negotiation skills, and because of it, we were able to beat the cash offer and win our dream home. Amar has an excellent team. Everyone stayed on top of their responsibility in closing this deal on time. I will recommend Amar and Sri to all my friends interested in buying a house as they will be in safe hands. We sincerely appreciate all your efforts in winning the best deal and home for us. Thank you so much, Amar and Sri.

We cannot express how thrilled we are of having Amar and Sri by our side in this fantastic journey of buying our first home. Being the first generation in the US, we were clueless about the essential steps to consider before entering the market. We are glad that we met Amar during one of the open houses. After meeting Amar and going through various stages, we felt completely relaxed knowing that there will be an expert who can provide us with the right guidance. Sri has guided us various times in helping us make the correct decision in choosing the right home in a prime location where home value is appreciated. Amar has helped us in going through the disclosure documents and explained to us thoroughly. There were many higher offers than ours, and we completely lost hope, but Amar has negotiated well and helped us win the home of our dream. Amar and his team were always available to answer any questions. They were a great help throughout the home buying process, including getting the pre-approval to getting the house key. Buying a home is a big decision, and going through the entire process could be tedious. However, Amar has made the whole process very smooth. We felt like we had a family member by our side in this journey rather than a realtor. We will recommend Amar and Sri to everyone.

We met Amar in his Palo Alto office for the initial consultation on a Friday afternoon and got enrolled to the website portal. In our initial consultation Amar read our mind and knew what exactly we were looking for our next home.
Sri and Amar are incredibly amazing at what they do. For each property that we were interested in, Sri gave us insights that we would not have found anywhere else. She walked us through all the pros and cons for each property we were sincerely thinking of bidding. All they wanted for us to make a best informed decision. They both made themselves available 24x7.
Amar was personally involved in all the areas right from the beginning till we were finally settled in our new home. He stayed on the top of everything and made sure the buying process was as smooth as possible. It sounds unbelievable but within 2 weeks we bid on the house and with his sharp strategy we got the house too. His coordination with the banker was incredible which made sure that we not only got our offer accepted but also the loan process was smooth.
Last but not the least we started our journey with Amar and Sri as our realtors but we ended up with life long friends. We wholeheartedly recommended Amar and Sri Amar.

I never felt Amar is an outside person trying to offer you something. My first time home buying experience cannot be more pleasure than this…..
Amar trained me in all the tools required to take informed decisions right from day 1. He took time to drop by my office during lunch on very 1st week I talked to him. He spent time to understand what I am looking for and gave valuable suggestions on how to begin the hunt.Every listing that I send, Amar has responded what are the pros, cons and suggested actions.
In just 2 months we found the right property, Amar flung into action. Seller had multiple competitive offers on the table. With Amar’s sure-fire Negotiation skills bid 3% less than other offers and still managed to win the deal with his creativity. Winning such a deal is incredible and astonishing in multiple offers situation. Above all, Amar got the deal way below what I authorised him to make an offer price. This itself saved me 30K.Most of the Realtors simply don’t care saving buyers such a huge money when buyer himself authorizes to make offer price. Amar handles the whole transaction as his own transaction and always keeping client interest in heart.
Amar efforts doesn’t stop there…. I was out of town while closing the deal. Amar by himself took care of home inspection, termite inspection, mortgage consultant, escrow, repairing, etc at the best possible deal. In this process, Amar actions not only saved me over 5K but also time and efforts. After closing the deal, Amar followed up to make sure everything was looking good and offered help to resolve any problems with the property.
Amar’s constant and proactive efforts and guidance throughout the process is amazing experience and joyful journey.
In short, Amar is a reflection of you who guides to take informed decisions. It was a pleasure experience Amar. I would recommend Amar to anyone who is looking for a dream Home.

Home buying is one of the big financial decisions and can be overwhelming especially for first time home buyers like us. Amar and his wonderful team made us at ease right from the time we stepped into his office to get started on the home buying journey.
Client First:
For Amar client always comes first. We initially had a lot of questions that Amar and Sri helped answer with utmost patience and explained the entire process. They gave us valuable information which helped us narrow down on the neighborhood and to create a checklist on features that we would like in potential homes we were looking at. What I liked most was giving us space to make the choices at our own convenience and not making us feel pressurized to make an offer. They were always available for a phone call at any time of day. Speaking to Amar you can tell how experienced he is in the home buying process and effort he puts to meet each of his client’s needs.
The Art of Negotiation:
Bay area is one of the most competitive real estate markets and requires a very dynamic real estate agent for deal negotiation. Amar fits the bill perfectly going far and beyond to help negotiate a deal for his client. He puts his complete effort to devise a unique strategy to approach each bidding process, talking to seller agent to understand the needs of the seller and how best he can put forward an offer that will be a winning one. He never pushes the client to put in offer more than what they feel comfortable with and informs the client of all the details to help the client make an informed decision before making a offer. Once the offer has been put forward, he works with the seller agent to make sure any questions of the seller are addressed and providing them a guarantee that they will close the contract in agreed upon terms.
Excellent Process:
He follows a well-defined process that he has developed over years. He has an excellent team that work with him closely to close the contract in very timely manner. He always remains on top of things keeping the client informed throughout the entire process and executes it to perfection. He is also willing to accept feedback in his process, and he is continuously trying to improve.
Amar was referred to us by one of our friends and we are happy that we decided to go with Amar as our realtor. Our entire home buying experience was a very pleasant one and less stressful than I imagined to be. I would highly recommend Amar as realtor for anyone looking for a real estate agent to buy/sell a home.

Sri and Amar were a pleasure to work with! They never left any questions unanswered and always responded promptly and their collaboration skills are excellent. Sri offered great advice, answered every question and helped me make informed decisions. We had great conversations too! I know they are so well informed about each and every area and we can find that from the very first minute you talk to them. They execute the process so perfectly and always seem to know the right strategy. They personally were involved in all areas like escrow, loan and closing. When I had some doubts regarding the offer, my husband would always say, “If Amar has got into negotiation, he will win it for sure.” That’s exactly what happened. Amar negotiated the best deal by all possible means and bought us a beautiful home surrounded with fruit trees!. We most definitely will suggest Amar & Sri to anyone we know who is selling or wanting to purchase a home because they both are experts in the field of Real Estate. We were lucky to have you as our Realtors!

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!

We
came to know of Amar from a few references and online reviews. We first had a 1:1 session with Amar when he explained the whole home buying process. Sri was very much involved with the initial shortlisting and gave us reasons for choosing a property vs not
choosing it. She gave several insights which we otherwise would have struggled to get. This included critical viewpoints of some houses which we shortlisted. After identifying our dream home within the first month, Amar and Sri put an offer on our behalf.
The seller had many offers and wasn’t entertaining anyone until they met the price they wanted. However, Amar was able to get information from the seller on what they wanted. It’s critical information to make informed decision. The seller were a bit adamant
on the price they wanted but Amar was able to negotiate to a level which was a win-win for both sides. After our offer was accepted, Amar and his team helped to close the deal within the stipulated time we had put in the contract. When I had to travel abroad,
he worked with my wife to ensure things weren’t left on the wayside and make progress and close the house on time.
Overall it was a great experience working with Amar and Sri and we recommend them to aspiring first-time home-buyers.

As first time home buyers we were not clear about the entire home buying process. Amar explained us about all the steps and initiated our pre-approval. No one believed we put our first offer within a month (Oct 10th) of our home search. Amar and his assistant Maria efficiently assisted us on getting through this offer though there were multiple competing offers. He with his excellent contacts expedite all the process which involved loan process, inspection, appraisal, and insurance. We closed escrow and got our dream home key exactly within 2 months (Nov 10th) of meeting Amar. Its all still like a dream….
Overall Amar has a very talented team and he makes you feel comfortable in the entire home buying process.

* Amar’s lenders work very professionally and extremely collaboratively to make the close of escrow so quick beating market norms. This gives upper edge to buyer’s offer.
* Amar prepared offer for our home on very late Sunday night after we came back from visiting an open house.
* Amar has written unique offer terms with right strategy to WIN our offer at very attractive price before other offer IN.
* Amar adopted negotiation technique that suites our buying situation. His acumen in adapting negotiation skills are commendable.

We picked a home that we liked after looking at different properties and you got us the keys to the house in less than 30 days (including pre-approval, negotiation ~ 31 competing offers, appraisal, closing etc.).
We knew we picked the right set of folks to work with on our first call itself. Your follow ups with the seller, their realtor, banks and escrow in a 31 offer scenario is outstanding. You made that happen with flawless execution with first offer. It is very likely other 31 offers were from more experienced buyers, we being in the market for the first time *without an all cash offer* and winning the contract on a $5K less than our upper bound with seller contributing towards closing costs, speaks volumes about the hard work you and your team put in.
Your network of working with banks and other related parties makes the home buying experience much more smoother than one could imagine in the hot bay area real estate market.
We look forward to working with you on many more real estate needs to come.

When we started our house hunting, we enquired our friends and they recommended Amar as go to person. They had purchased their house recently with Amar’s help and they had only good things to say about him. It made my decision simple.
As a first home buyer we had lots of questions and apprehensions but Amar & Sri helped us at every step guiding and helping us in choosing right homes and bidding for it. They are very professional but at the same time make it a personal experience.
Every house that we bid Amar made very serious and diligent effort and it made differentiation when finally we landed at our dream home. Kudos to them in seeing the deal go through. They made our home buying experience much simpler and smooth. But it didn’t ended just there, they helped us in our loan process and successfully closing the escrow without any hiccups. I will highly recommend their services to my friends.
Thanks Amar & Sri.

We closed on our home in bay area and I have to say that it would have been impossible without Amar and Sri. We literally put an offer on a house in just two weeks and then closed within a month. People take years to find and buy a house in bay area.
In our case Amar was able to put an offer on the house even before it came on market and that helped us skip the bidding war. He was also able to get the price down by 15K which is unheard of in bay area. All credit goes to his negation skills and offer strategy.
Both Amar and Sri understood our needs and budget in just one meeting. They are on top of everything and we never ever had to send any kind of follow-up emails. He also helped us with mortgage lenders and pre-approval process.
So if anyone want to buy a house in bay area then Amar is the best realtor you can ever get!

We would highly recommend Amar as Real Estate Consultant to anyone desiring to buy, or sell a home in the Bay Area and would highly recommend Amar as a consultant to anyone interested in learning more about their Real Estate options – investment, short sale, foreclosures properties.
Amar has broad and deep Real Estate knowledge and very strong negotiating skills. He can navigate any Real Estate situation fairly for all parties. Amar is very pleasant, professional, and easy to work.
It was clear from our first meeting that he was a good listener, intent on finding the home we envisioned, and had an incredible amount of experience and local knowledge. Amar has an intimate understanding of different neighbourhoods, schools, and local issues as well as the current market conditions. During our search he was very flexible with meeting and viewing times as well.
Once we found the right property, his expertise was invaluable in negotiating the contract and closing escrow. As our Agent, Amar helped us to buy our current home in a competitive multiple offer situations.
As first time home buyers, we were learning as we go and Amar was a terrific guide, answering all of our questions and steering us away from potential problems. Our buying experience could not have been better”

Overall it’s been a very pleasant experience with Amar in buying our first home. I appreciate the time Amar spent coming to the show the property more than one time and over phone explaining all the issues related to the real estate transaction. For a first time buyer like me, lot of things were new.
Amar was very prompt in responding and kept me posted regularly about the progress of the short sale and the closing of the escrow. I am impressed the way Amar handled the situation with the seller agent when the appraisal value came short of the offer price. Amar is very optimistic, knowledgeable in the local real estate market, friendly, easily approachable, patient and work towards the best interests of his clients.
Amar is willing to spend lot of time with your clients to understand the needs and the individual situation. Amar also was in regular touch with the bank agent to make sure that loan process was going smoothly and made sure that I got good deal on the loan also.
Overall, I am satisfied about the buying experience with Amar as agent and I strongly recommended him to my friends.
Thank you very much Amar for all your help, guidance and support through the entire process of buying our first home.

In my 13 years of home-buying, Amar is the only person I would really consider as a true Realtor. After going through my experience, I do not have any doubt that he delivers the best results to his clients whether you are buying or selling homes. Amar is very knowledgeable and really enjoys being in the Realty business and brings about the best qualities. A few big thiings that he brings to his clients are:
a) His network for Lending
b) His relationship strategy with agents from the other side.
c) His negotiation skills
d) He takes care of all the needs along the way
e) He explains the whole process and maintains profiles and provides a lot of information and steps.
All in all, you have to experience your home buying with Amar to understand what I mean.

Amar is one of the most patient and customer oriented realtor we have come across, with his association we ended up buying an excellent property at a best deal. I recommend Amar to anyone for their realestate needs.
Our Experience – Amar was knowledgeable on both the real estate industry and the neighborhoods of our interest. We visited several homes every weekend for months, but with our specific needs and tight budget, it wasn’t easy finding the right property. There were a few homes matching our needs but he pointed out hidden problems that we were unaware – most realtors would have pressured us to buy at any sign of interest. Amar was incredibly quick on the turnaround time, and was always proactive. His professionalism and relentless determination in making the deal happen keeping his clients best interests at every stage of the process (and resolving unforeseen hurdles) was greatly appreciable.
Amar, your passion, thoughts and actions demonstrates inclination in taking care of your clients needs first. We are proud to have you part of the team and cannot thank enough for your help. We commend you for all your efforts in buying our new home and look forward for your continued association for future needs and best wishes for expanding your portfolio of services. Thank you Amar.

Buying an investment property with partnership is not an easy decision. It requires sound thinking on the location, price and prospect of the property.
Amar helped me to take this decision, supported from the beginning. Made good deal with the builder using his strategy, knowledge and closed within a short period. His persistence follow-up with builder and between the partners is very admirable from bottom of my heart.
Amar made dream come true.

I wanted to take this time to thank Amar for the enormous support and expertise he provided us. We 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.
Thanks

Amar and Sri helped us in getting our first home and made Home buying a memorable experience. Amar asked us to meet him in the office to find out what our preferences are and from then he has guided us, and very responsive in every step of the process from Pricing to Loan to Escrow to Closing. Amar also saved money in home price and closing cost due to Amar's tremendous knowledge and negotiation.
Our first time Home buying would have been nerve- wracking and confusing, if Sri would not have helped us answer all the very small doubts that we had. Sri was always there for us and guided us throughout the whole process and gave us examples how we can make proper decisions on important items. She always responded to our phone calls and answered them with lots of patience and made us understand everything and made our first time home buying experience a really pleasant one.
Amar's knowledge is tremendous in negotiating, with the agent and in writing attractive offer that helped us in getting the house we wanted. we were looking to buy our first home for many years now. We started to loose hope in getting our home. Then we met Amar through one of our friends reference. Amar gave us tremendous confidence, and in less than a month we made an offer and bought our first home.
Amar guided us through every step of the way and made our dream come true. I strongly recommend Amar and Sri as they have tremendous knowledge and good negotiating skills. God Bless Amar and Sri.

"I never felt Amar is an outside person trying to offer you something. My first time home buying experience cannot be more pleasure than this.....
Amar trained me in all the tools required to take informed decisions right from day 1. He took time to drop by my office during lunch on very 1st week I talked to him. He spent time to understand what I am looking for and gave valuable suggestions on how to begin the hunt.Every listing that I send, Amar has responded what are the pros, cons and suggested actions.
In just 2 months we found the right property, Amar flung into action. Seller had multiple competitive offers on the table. With Amar's sure-fire Negotiation skills bid 3% less than other offers and still managed to win the deal with his creativity. Winning such a deal is incredible and astonishing in multiple offers situation. Above all, Amar got the deal way below what I authorised him to make an offer price. This itself saved me 30K.Most of the Realtors simply don't care saving buyers such a huge money when buyer himself authorizes to make offer price. Amar handles the whole transaction as his own transaction and always keeping client interest in heart.
Amar efforts doesn't stop there.... I was out of town while closing the deal. Amar by himself took care of home inspection, termite inspection, mortgage consultant, escrow, repairing, etc at the best possible deal. In this process, Amar actions not only saved me over 5K but also time and efforts. After closing the deal, Amar followed up to make sure everything was looking good and offered help to resolve any problems with the property.
Amar's constant and proactive efforts and guidance throughout the process is amazing experience and joyful journey.
In short, Amar is a reflection of you who guides to take informed decisions. It was a pleasure experience Amar. I would recommend Amar to anyone who is looking for a dream Home.
Thanks

"In my opinion, Amar is the best real estate agent in Bay Area. When we started looking to buy a home, Amar was very instrumental in deciding the area. He has good knowledge of the good residential areas around Bay Area. He is very friendly, understands our needs carefully. We are very particular about the direction and vasthu of the home. Amar was always available to see every house and provide his honest opinion about each home. Because of his vast experience and deep interest in real estate, Amar is able to provide the best feedback; he is very patient and gives great attention to buyer's needs. Amar treats it as buying his own home. Amar documents each home we considered; which greatly helped us in making final decision.
When we finally decided to make an offer, Amar presented the offer in a very unique and most effective way (Amar's patented style of presenting an offer) to win the offer in multiple offer situation (over 20 offers). He not only won the offer even though it was not the highest offer, also saved us very good amount of money in the whole process.
Most importantly, there was more competing offer to seller from listing agent's office. With Amar's unique approach and proven strategy, we were able to win our offer in virtually impossible situation. I have personally experienced Amar's spellbinding offer presentation and creativity with sellers and listing agent. In today's' market, Amar makes a BIG difference in winning deals with clients interest in heart.
Amar followed up with the seller agent very proactively in a professional way. He has best network of Loan Agents and Escrow Agents, hence we were able to close the escrow in record time. The loan Agent Yogesh has always been available, very responsive and got me the best possible rate due to Amar's relationship and closed the loan in a very short period of time. Amar also has the best network of home improvement contractors, plumbers, pet control contractors. Amar communicates each Key Mile Stones (KMS) in home buying process steps in detail. The entire home buying process from acceptance of the offer to closing of escrow is very pleasant and smooth and exceeded all my expectations.
Thank you very much Amar. I highly recommend Amar as a Real Estate agent for right guidance (extremely critical), peace of mind transaction (very important), and value proposition (tangible results)."

My Home Buying Experience Since I made contact with Amar Amarnath
Hi Amar, It is with gratitude that I say Thank You for your efforts that enabled me to buy a home in this highly competitive market.
I want to go over from the days of my first contact with Amar that happened only three months ago. Since then our interaction has been nothing but pleasant during our combined efforts in our home buying experience. We toured homes together and in that process Amar explained to us several bits of pros and cons in each property educating us and giving his honest opinion about the homes and whether it is worth to proceed or not. Frankly, we learnt several bits of information of what to look for in a potential home.
Amar is always available to clarify and explain various aspects of home buying process and available to tour homes at the first available opportunity. He utilizes his enormous experience in real estate business and transfers that knowledge to help his clients and goes out of way in doing so. I can attest to that with my own experience where Amar helped me get a great deal while negotiating in a very competitive environment with multiple and handsome offers from the competitors.
Amar's reputation in the real estate business, methodical approach and analysis, highest standards of ethics, professional way of handling the negotiations, and ability to convince the seller's agents are phenomenal. More importantly, the personal touch he brings to negotiating table makes him what I call Amazing Amar. No wonder he is one of the most popular and trustworthy Realtors around. He also brings in positive surprises along the way.
Amar has wonderful team that makes home buying process quite comfortable and importantly also enjoyable, closes the deal in record short times. He takes a very proactive care to ensure the process is moving smoothly by going above and beyond. Amar involves in loan pre-approval process, coordination and engagement with bank and escrow process, appraisal, loan process, and closing process by staying on top of the entire home buying process.
Amar is good at heart and puts his efforts as it his own home buying process and that is a very important aspect as far I am concerned where in you build trust. He saved us lot of money in the process. In a nutshell, we have benefitted a great deal by approaching Amar Amarnath for our home purchase. I strongly advise potential home buyers to utilize his professional experience to benefit.
Thanks,

Dr. Chandra Sekhar Durisety Director, Field Applications Engineering at Thin Film Electronics Dear Amar and Sri, It has been a fantastic experience from the day we met you. I would say the key learning during my home buying experience was trust: Trust in your knowledge, providing proper guidance and keeping the promise. At the end, we are just ecstatic with the results. We have been quite skeptical from our past experiences over 8 months with other Realtors. Once we understood Amar's capabilities, and the support from the financial institution, we had tremendous confidence that we will be making our HOME run. We are the proof that we did reach our goal in our 2nd offer within a month. The fact that there was no counter offer, clearly shows the strategy planning and deal negotiation capabilities with Seller’s agent, combined with balancing the expectations of the buyer (my wife and I). The biggest surprise was the appraisal. In current time (mid-2016), the bids are usually substantially higher. I was pleasantly surprised to know that my appraisal was considerably higher than my bid, which shows the diligent hard-work and excellent deal negotiation capabilities from Amar and his team. I understand the true challenge lies after winning the bid, which is co-ordinating all the players (Loan officer, home warranty, insurance, Escrow officer and buyer of course) and bringing them to sync, for a timely and smooth closure. There are a slew of unknown parameters that could go against the smooth flow, but thinking through the process, proper planning could help make this journey as pleasant as it can be for everyone. I would say it has been an awesome experience from start to finish. For everyone, please note that this is an extremely team effort. July 30, 2016, Dr. Chandra Sekhar was Amar Realtor's client

Umesh Chandwani Senior Engineer - Data Our home buying experience with Amar was excellent and here is why, Initial Meeting Within a few days of us contacting him, Amar came by our house to discuss what we were looking for with respect to buying a house. He spent a lot of time with us to understand what we were looking for in a house (budget, location, size, etc.). He also gave us a professional perspective on various different aspects such as financial requirements and the importance of a good school district. These helped us narrow down our search and save us time. House Hunting – Visiting Non-Open Houses Amar was very proactive in showing us properties that were on the market but not open for viewing. Once Amar even came down to Sunnyvale between 8 and 9 pm to show us a property that only had realtor access. Home Buying Strategy Since we are first time buyers and new to the real estate market we relied quite heavily on Amar on how we should proceed. We bid on a property which is not on the market but there were issues such as extended renter occupancy period because of which the deals did not go through. There were some other properties we were interested that had below average schools but Amar encouraged us to stay focused on good schools and location (within budget). In hindsight, we are glad we did that. There was a property we were very keen on but were not sure it would fit our budget given that there was so much over bidding going on. We talked to Amar about it and he moved quite swiftly. Amar setup a lunch appointment with the listing agent and developed a good relationship before even making offer. He was able to get valuable information and helped make our bid the winning bid with the right strategy. In the process, Amar also ensured that the sellers paid their fair share of the fees (home warranty, title insurance, other fees..etc.). He rebuffed any attempt on their part to get some rent-back and ensured that appliances were included as a part of the sale. Amar extremely good at negotiations and execution of tasks by staying on top of every task in the home buying process. Escrow and Beyond Amar was there with us throughout the escrow process (even during signing), coordinating between the Escrow Company, seller’s agent and our lending institution. He ensured that everything moved along at an even clip. Summary Amar is completely committed to his clients goals and goes above and beyond call of duty to make things happen, thank you Amar for everything.

Martin (KaFai) Lau Product Architect / Software Developer / Web Performance Specialist / Cloud Services I had been looking for an excellent buyer agent for a while. I am very particular because I have heard very stressful buying experience from my friends and families. I had been asking reference from others and carefully heard the process that they had gone through. Finally, I decided to go with Amar to represent me and I am so glad that I made an excellent choice. Amar is very patient with the buyer and always help the buyers to fully consider all other similar options in the market before making an offer. When we decided to make an offer, Amar followed up with the seller agent proactively in a very professional way. Amar able to win the deal in hot market in multiple offers situation at list price with his proven strategy and attitude in Mission San Jose district. The whole offer and counter offer process was very transparent to us. My wife and I clearly know the whole process. Because Amar did a lot of research and background work, the decision that I had to make is pretty straight forward which is very important to me considering my day time job is already very demanding. Amar is so hands-on and followed up every single detail from Loan, Inspection, Escrow…etc. It really removed tons of stress from us. More importantly, considering the seller had moved out of the country, the closing process was quite challenging from time to time due to remote communication. Amar shielded all of the seller side challenges from me. In the hot market like the current one, it could be quite stressful on the buyer side for any possible bump during the close while the deposit is locked in the escrow. However, my wife and I were quite comfortable because Amar had successfully worked with the seller during the offer process and we are very confident that Amar can handle the close professionally. The closing process is so smooth and Amar saved over 5K towards closing. My wife and I had a great buying experience. We are happy and proud to share the facts with my family and friends. We love to work with Amar again if we are back in the market later. April 10, 2013, Martin (KaFai) was Amar Realtor's client

Ajay Khandelwal Manager, Discovery Analytics at Netflix From the day we chose Amar as our Realtor it was smooth sailing. I have heard so many horror stories about home buying process, and was very concerned about it. The day we decided to choose Amar and started the journey, all those worries were alleviated. We were a first time Homebuyer and were looking for a house in Fremont for some time and then we met Amar. We had a wonderful experience working with Amar. He put together a very nice well-documented offer that seller was not able to overlook. Our offer was selected, even though our offer was not the highest one. He has great knowledge about the market and individual areas. He made sure that we don’t overpay anything than what we need to get the house. He also negotiated with seller’s agent on lots of finer points to get the best deal for us in every aspect. After the offer was accepted, his experienced closing team took over. Every detail got taken care of. He was involved behind the scenes working with the loan officer as well as escrow smoothing everything over and making sure it was all on schedule. He worked with the financial organization to get us some rebate and save us money during the loan and closing process. Amar has an excellent team (finance, home warranty, insurance etc.). Everyone on his team is a superstar. All of them are so approachable and patient. I am sure, I have asked same questions multiple times (sign of a first time home buyer), and every time Amar and his team has explained it to me in same detail with same enthusiasm. There was never a sign of frustration. Amar himself has those qualities in abundance and the same is true for his team. Thank you so much Amar for all your hard work and dedication throughout the process and we are extremely happy with your service. I’d gladly recommend Amar to any of my friends, colleagues, and relatives and will definitely engage him for any future Home Buying/Selling. June 23, 2014, Ajay was Amar Realtor's client

Radhakrishna N BI Business Analyst & Architect at Cisco It was a great pleasure working with Amar, Sri and his team, I can't say enough of how great experience it was! Amar was extremely professional, Buying a single family house in the bay area in a rising economy is not easy. There is ALL CASH offer at $K and willing to go much HIGHER and 10 days CLOSING.

His tie-ups and constant checking with mortgage lender helped us keep the loan processing on track with a closing in 30 days! He was honest to me as to what was going on. Kept me updated on what was happening from beginning to the end of closing. Amar went above and beyond to help us find the right house. We HIGHLY recommend Amar to any buyer/seller.

Samhita Pidaparti Salesforce Consultant at Google Amar was our Relator for our new Home purchase and current home sale, and I can say that he did a terrific job at both. He was very instrumental in bringing down the listing price for the new home, and having the seller contribute more towards the closing costs. In regards to our Home sale, I only have two words for him – Perfection Personified. We were a contingent buyer for the new home, and had a tight window to sell our current home. Looking back in time, I do not think that anybody else could have done this better than Amar. Amar was very prompt and efficient at all phases of the sale – laying out a workable strategy to sell the home, having a 3D photo shoot done for the home, putting up our house in the market, rigorous advertising, and deep dive negotiations on the offers. Amar paid great attention to all the miniscule details, and that certainly paid off. We got an offer that far exceeded our expectations and calculations. We moved into our new house being content and happy. ALL thanks to Amar for making it possible for us.

Sudhakara Reddy BI Architect 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. May 23, 2015, Sudhakara was Amar Realtor's client

Ipsita Kar Operations Business Analyst at Oracle Financing Division After my Home buying experience with Amar last month, I just can say, Amar is THE BEST Realtor in the Bay area. Amar, as a Realtor always go above and beyond to provide the exceptional service and great value for his clients . In this current market, it is really tough to deal with the seller’s agent as they are getting multiple offers. However, we are able to find our dream home last month because of Amar’s hard work and amazing execution. I would like to share my home buying experience with Amar. Amar provided us the best service anyone ever expect from a Realtor. · Amar showed us a really nice Home in our preferred zip code. Once we all on-board and offered our comfortable amount for that house, he immediately started working on it. Amar almost gave all his valuable time in negotiating the deal with the seller’s agent. In that process, he established a good rapport with the seller agent and understood the seller motivations and situations for selling home. Amar put together offer package and worked closely with listing agent to WIN the deal before offer deadline without competition and price bidding war. As results, we got very good deal. He is extremely good at analysing the situation, winning the deal with right strategy, and perfect execution. Amar personally involved in all the areas of our home buying process(Appraisal, Loan, Inspections, Escrow, Insurance, and closing). He has great team of people to make home buying process absolutely stress free. Amar co-ordinated with the WF lender who did our pre-approval and loan closing providing us a really good interest rate.On the top of everything, Amar helped us to recover $9,857 towards closing. The entire home buying process starting from the beginning to end went so smooth with peace of mind because of Amar’s hard work, dedication and capability. We are 2nd time Home buyers and lot of real estate knowledge, Amar and team makes a BIG diffidence in journey of Home buying process. Thank you so much Amar for all your contributions in our Home buying process. August 22, 2013, Ipsita was Amar Realtor's client

Ayesha Ahmed Product Owner at Apple 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!!!!l July 23, 2014, Ayesha was Amar Realtor's client

Venkatesan Packirisamy Senior computer architect at NVIDIA I had a pleasant home buying experience with Amar as my agent. I had been looking at homes to buy for several months before I met Amar. After I met Amar, I became a home owner within a short few weeks. With real-estate websites giving all the information needed it might seem an agent is not absolutely needed. But in a challenging market it is very important to have someone like Amar as your real estate agent. Main advantages when having Amar as your agent: Amar brings in a team to take care of entire real estate transaction. You get a hassle free buying experience. Amar is extremely committed. If he thinks that a property is suitable for his client, he will try his very best to get it while staying within the client’s comfort level. Amar reputation for guaranteed results gives an extra edge when offers are close and works as a close team. Amar being very proactive and focused execution gives a huge advantage in current challenging market environment. Amar believes on establishing long term relationship with his clients. He is not someone who just vanishes after finishing the transaction. He really cares about his clients and wants to get the best deal that is suitable for them. Amar will definitely help with his treasure trove of knowledge in real estate. December 28, 2012, Venkatesan was Amar Realtor's client

Rajasekar Dhanasekaran New Employee at Google 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.

Sony Mohapatra Sr. Software Development Engineer at Apple I don’t know if I should say it was destiny or luck to have met Amar who helped us fulfil our dream of buying a house in the bay area in this high market in just 3 weeks time. We had been searching for houses for a long time until we met Amar 3 weeks back. This was the house we could call “home”. If not for Amar we wouldn’t have been able to get this house. Amar is hands down the best agent around. This was our first bid with him and he got us our “home”. He was more than an agent to us. He understood exactly what we wanted and he gave his 200% to get us this house. He is very professional with a personal touch and that’s what makes him different from other agents. He goes out of his way to get the best deal possible. His continuous involvement in all areas, guidance and personal attention is definitely a huge plus. Amar saved us a lot of money and was able to recover a large amount from the lender/seller. After the offer was accepted the closing was so smooth. We closed in 11 days which was an aggressive deadline to meet. In spite of which we were completely stress free and did not have to be thinking about loan, appraisal, escrow etc. Amar and his team handled the whole process working long hours getting things done. This is a huge advantage since being first time buyers without proper guidance, we would be stressed all the time. With Amar that stress was far from reach. Amar is on top of things with perfect execution in multiple offer situations. With Amar you can blindly trust him on the whole process. With his experience and previous track record of winning offers one can easily get what they want. Amar is the most genuine person who gives his frank opinion on the property and appropriate guidance to new home buyers. I would definitely recommend Amar to any buyer who wants to realise their dream of owning their dream house. Amar will make it happen! April 23, 2013, Sony was Amar Realtor's client

Satyanarayana Vutukury Web Systems Engineer at Wells Fargo We were very fortunate to have Amar as our Agent during our Home search. We were first time home buyers and were new to the whole process. Amar was very knowledgeable and explained everything to us very patiently. We were looking for a long time and couldn’t find anything that we liked, but Amar has been in constant touch with us via emails and phone throughout. He informed us immediately whenever a home was listed for sale that met our requirements and budget. Amar would setup tours of the houses at times that were convenient for us. He was very punctual too. Whenever we decided to checkout a house, he would be already there waiting for us. He showed us many houses with patience and explained the pros and cons of various options in a house. Amar also got us in touch with lenders to understand the loan process better. This process was very helpful to us as we were putting less than 20% down and still wanted to get a conventional loan without PMI. Last but not least he also helped us a great deal in getting a huge credit towards the closing costs. Once again we were very fortunate to find Mr. Amarnath and would highly recommend him as a Realtor. I promise Amar would make your home buying experience a very pleasant one.

Kishan Singh Director, Macys.com & Bloomingdales.com We can describe our experience with Amar in single word “Superb!” This was our first home-buying experience and we have been looking for a good home for almost 6 months before we met Amar. The earlier agent could not close the deal even after putting multiple offers above the asking price and it was becoming a frustrating experience for us. Since day one, Amar was very engaged in every step of the process. He quickly understood our requirements around good school district, location of the home, price point, and big one was to be with vastu compliant for certain aspects. He engaged our whole family including our kids to understand everyone’s requirements and individual’s expectations from new home. One think we like about Amar is that he always puts himself in buyer’s shoes and evaluates like he is buying his own home. We found our dream home within a short span of time and that too within our price point. His patented style of putting winning offer, meticulous negotiation skills, and pro-active approach helped us closing the deal in this crazy seller’s market. He didn’t only help us getting the home but was personally involved in ALL areas including Appraisal, Inspection, Load processing, Escrow, and Closing processes. He uses his project management skills to develop a very well thought strategy and execution plan. He always stayed on top of everything, sometime a step ahead, to make sure that we move to our new home on time (before school opens). He took care of many items while we were away in India. We never bothered about anything other than signing the papers as we knew that Amar will take care of everything He also took extra time to follow up with us to make sure that we have settled well in new home. Amar’s key strengths are developing relationships with seller’s agents, negotiation skills, and his extensive knowledge about market are priceless. Getting a home at the best possible price was quite tough in this competitive market and Amar has exceeded our expectations doing that for us. Amar’s logo E = MC² is a true representation of his service and he delivers 110% to justify it! We are very happy with our decision to choose Amar to represent us in our home buying process and we would certainly recommend him to anyone and everyone. A Very Big Thanks Amar…..

Amit Joshi Engineer & Entrepreneur Amar came highly recommended and played a pivotal part in getting us our very first home in the highly competitive Los Altos/Palo Alto/Menlo Park area. What’s unique about Amar is that he puts in so much effort, like he’d do for his own home! Amar operates a bit differently - first you share requirements, then you do your own research and look at houses. For the ones you like, he does the same independently. After comparing notes if you decide to move forward then the real machinery kicks in. In this competitive market a number of factors are at work rather than just a number in the offer letter. Amar works behind the scenes paying attention to every detail to figure out what’s important to the seller. Then he works with you, the sellers agent and mortgage brokers to put together an offer as a complete package. Often this package looks competitive with cash offers, guaranteeing peace of mind to seller, and this is the key difference. Once your offer gets accepted (with Amar, there’s a good chance that it will happen sooner than later) then execution till the finish line is as smooth as it can be. I was dreading the closing process and the paperwork, however, it really turned out to be a breeze. In fact, we not only got a pretty decent interest rate we but also managed to get a discount that covered entire mortgage related closing costs and then some. I would strongly recommend Amar to anyone looking for an edge in a competitive housing market. February 22, 2015, Amit was Amar Realtor's client

Ravi Renduchintala ThermoFisher Scientific My Home Buying Experience Since I made contact with Amar Amarnath Hi Amar, It is with gratitude that I say Thank You for your efforts that enabled me to buy a home in this highly competitive market. I want to go over from the days of my first contact with Amar that happened only three months ago in January 2013. Since then our interaction has been nothing but pleasant during our combined efforts in our home buying experience. We toured homes together and in that process Amar explained to us several bits of pros and cons in each property educating us and giving his honest opinion about the homes and whether it is worth to proceed or not. Frankly, we learnt several bits of information of what to look for in a potential home. Amar is always available to clarify and explain various aspects of home buying process and available to tour homes at the first available opportunity. He utilizes his enormous experience in real estate business and transfers that knowledge to help his clients and goes out of way in doing so. I can attest to that with my own experience where Amar helped me get a great deal while negotiating in a very competitive environment with multiple and handsome offers from the competitors. Amar’s reputation in the real estate business, methodical approach and analysis, highest standards of ethics, professional way of handling the negotiations, and ability to convince the seller’s agents are phenomenal. More importantly, the personal touch he brings to negotiating table makes him what I call Amazing Amar. No wonder he is one of the most popular and trustworthy Realtors around. He also brings in positive surprises along the way. Amar has wonderful team that makes home buying process quite comfortable and importantly also enjoyable, closes the deal in record short times. He takes a very proactive care to ensure the process is moving smoothly by going above and beyond. Amar involves in loan pre-approval process, coordination and engagement with bank and escrow process, appraisal, loan process, and closing process by staying on top of the entire home buying process. Amar is good at heart and puts his efforts as it his own home buying process and that is a very important aspect as far I am concerned where in you build trust. He saved us lot of money in the process. In a nutshell, we have benefitted a great deal by approaching Amar Amarnath for our home purchase.

He managed to do something many of the other realtors could not, he helped us find our dream home. When we first began looking for houses, we were having a very hard time since the housing market was so busy. Most of the realtors just seemed to be interested in selling houses as fast as they could manage but Mr. Amarnath took his time to help us find a house with everything we hoped for. With two daughters, one going to the sixth grade and the other going to the ninth grade, we had to pay attention to the schools as well as the home itself. In the end he saved us up to 6k on closing costs and 10K less than the authorized offer price. Being the first time buyers with lot of things to understand he never let us feel as first time home buyers. Once we liked the house he worked at mercurial speed to make sure we got the house, at same time he made sure that nothing was overlooked. We are really impressed by his knowledge of sellers mindset. we are also really impressed the way he treated us like one of his family members and the in the whole process he acted as though he is buying the house for his own family members.

shridhara K. GPS/Embedded/DSP engineer Recently, when we started looking for homes to buy, we found it is necessary to get the help of a good real estate agent. we looked at the profiles of a number of real estate agents in zillow and also consulted recent home buyers. We even contacted some of them and started receiving lists of homes for sale in south bay area. Apart from the listed price, location and some other details which are already available in various web sites, we could not get any real help. That is when we saw Mr. Amarnath's profile. The large number of homes he sold in the past year and good reviews in various web sites impressed us. We immediately contacted him and the positive approach in his conversation confirmed his superior ability. Further, he started highlighting the advantage and drawbacks of the homes previously selected by us. As per his advice, we have to remove some houses from my favorite list. Later, we realized he is absolutely correct as those houses are not finding buyers even today since they had some hidden problems which only an expert Realtor knows. We think this quality of Amarnath makes him stand apart from other Realtor. Things started rolling fast when Amar and his team entered our home search. He and his team was always happy and ready to show houses for us. Simultaneously, Amar arranged for loan approval at a low rate of interest. Actually, we got many loan offers but this was the lowest rate. Amar's team worked during weekend and late nights to get a quick loan approval. Finally, when decided on our dream home, Amar took no time to visit and make an appraisal of the home and submitted the bid immediately. There was many bidders and some of the bids exceeding ours by as much as 50K. But Amar took no chance and directly talked with the sellers agent and the seller and highlighted superior nature of our offer. Amar convinced them how our offer as whole package better than a mere highest bid. He also brought in his broker into the picture to highlight our case. These are only some of the several strategies used by Amar as a part of his superior execution style which finally enabled us to own our dream home with a lower bid !. Winning the bid under multiple offers is not the only area Amar excelled. Afterwords, he guided us on all aspects of the next steps in the process such as escrow and deal closing without any last minute surprises. We realized later that the seller paid many of our fees because of the tactful negotiation by Amar. Meanwhile, his team was able to get us a home insurance at super low premium. We never expected the signing and closing of the escrow will be so smooth and hassle free. All this is because of Amar's dynamic leadership and staying on the top of every activity that a home buying process involves.We could have purchased our dream home long ago, if we met Amar earlier. We appreciate his and his teams ability to help others and so wish them success in all his future endeavors. - Shridhara and Mala October 7, 2014, shridhara was Amar Realtor's client

Nidhi Ramamurthy Sales Decision Support at Apple 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. July 27, 2011, Nidhi was Amar Realtor's client

Krishna Mallina Senior Technology Leader When I first approached Amar, he came across as conservative on pricing our home. He explained his credentials and clientele to me and was very open and honest about what to expect in the entire process. I was a little skeptic in selecting him as my realtor but, when I checked one of his referrals, they had nothing but positive things to say of him. He personally visited the property and came back with revised pricing based on the condition of the property that is more in line with our expectations! My concerns were alleviated and I have signed Amar to be my realtor in helping us sell our first home. He personally visited the property, took initiative in working with tough renters and maintained composure throughout the process. He was very professional throughout and his marketing skills are very commendable. He was able to procure interest on the property even before the property got listed to the public. Amar was able to procure multiple offers and negotiated potential offer to maximum price point which is well above our expectations. My home sold for highest price ever sold in the complex for the record price. We were very happy with Amar’s services and the escrow company he has engaged to help us.

We were first time home buyers and were looking for a house in Fremont for over a year and then we met Amar. We had a wonderful experience working with Amar. He put together a very nice well written offer that seller was not able to overlook and our offer was selected without any counter offer, even though our offer was not the highest one. Once our offer was accepted, Amar made sure that he was involved in all processes i.e. appraisal, Loan, Escrow process and made sure that we had all necessary documents in place for closing. Amar worked very closely with the loan officers to make sure that the whole loan process is smooth and easy. He even suggested us with various Loan options. He had very professional and efficient team and always stayed on top of all things. More importantly, he was very proactive and responded back to every email and phone message. He worked really hard and was able to recover few thousand from seller and lender towards our closing cost. He was very instrumental in convincing seller to leave refrigerator, washer and dryer (worth 4k) as a departing gift. We really liked his strategy towards the whole process, he never left anything to chance and he always had solution to all our issues. Amar’s professional and efficient handling of all aspects of the home buying process made it possible for us to buy a house in the Bay Area. I'd definitely recommend Amar's services to anyone looking to buying a home in the Bay Area. I hope you will be able to help lot many other first time home buyers in future with your kind and helpful attitude.

Pallavi MannarMannan Sr Firmware Engineer at Lumasense Technologies Amar is one of the best Realtors out there. When we first met Amar, he explained his approach and value. Amar stood by it the entire time. The very next week we saw a place we liked very much and Amar was happy to take it to the next step. The house we put the offer on, received many offers above ours, and also cash offers. Amar negotiated with seller on why we would be the perfect owners for the place, and sold the sellers on our offer. Amar has a great team who are very helpful as well in every step of the way, making it smooth process. To be honest, because of their efforts this didn’t feel like a first time home purchase at all. It felt so smooth and efficient till the end. The entire process completed within a month. In todays market, it’s not that easy at all to get a Home in such a short time. Amar and his team made it happen for us. The results speaks for itself. April 5, 2014, Pallavi was Amar Realtor's client

Ganeshkumar Bhat Software Program Manager at NAGRA We started working with Amar & Sri from March this year, when we started searching for a place to call HOME. Amar patiently listened to all our needs and answered questions we had in mind. He guided us through all process and has gone above and beyond his call-of-duty duty to accomplish my Home Ownership dream a Realty. Most of the questions I have asked were responded with–in hours by Amar and his team throughout the process. Once we identified the house we liked it, Amar perfectly EXECUTED. Amar worked round the clock to come up with a very clean and enticing offer strategy which resulted in us winning the bid at lesser than listing price in a multiple bid scenario. Amar brilliantly structured the contract in a way that seller pays 5K towards the closing. Amar also personally involved in each and every step of the process from loan to escrow closing and was providing valuable tips throughout the process. He provided me with the status every week on the progress we are making towards escrow closing. We were able to close escrow ahead of time with him being on top of every activity in the entire process to make sure end goal is accomplished as smooth as possible. Amar had a great TEAM in place to help us with documentation, loan, insurance, security. Each one of them is highly capable and thoroughly professional. I am very confident to say that Amar is THE BEST AGENT we could have got for our home search and I am big fan of his end-to-end Execution peacefully.

Prakash Ramadass Experienced Technology Manager. Proven Expertise in Product Management I Strategy I Development I Marketing It is with great pleasure and honor that we write this recommendation for Amar Amaranth, THE Realtor and share our unique buying experience with AMAR extraordinary standard of “Excellency in Service” that truly defines “E=MC2” Service. AMAR is ONE STOP Shop for your real estate needs. Period! I’m NOT a first time home buyer and have had worked with many agents in the past. Trust me and you look no further. Bottom line summary for you- AMAR got us a deal on the first day we MET in Person, AMAR saved us over 75K with fire sure negotiation , MANAGED to close the deal BEFORE open House in a most competitive and highly desired Mission San Jose District. Have you worked with Realtor who stayed up until 1AM for a client needs and work around the clock next day to close the deal?. Sounds unbelievable right? BUT it’s true… Let me start with this first- AMAR is truly a “GODSEND” for us. We were emotionally drained out in the first 2 weeks of trying to buy a home in challenging market with aggressive buyers. I reached out Amar in desperate personal situation having only 3 weeks left to buy a home. On My first phone call with Amar, I started with do you accept this challenge? 3 weeks only, Mission San Jose neighbourhood only, Fixed budget range. Can you work with me?. He said Yes and I told him “you don’t have to explain who you are and I have done my homework researching on you – saying that I’ve literally spent over 2 hours reading all your client feedbacks. If there is ANYONE that can do this job, it has to be YOU. And He PROVED it that I was right in mere 5 days. From that first phone call and three days later I personally met Amar first time in person and the next following day he managed to close a deal AND saved US over 75K which is something not everyone can do. It is hard to find someone like AMAR who genuinely care about his client needs and protect your interest in every way possible. Amar recommendations were very best in the field, from insurance to inspection, warranty that saved lot of money in the process. His advice and guidance through this process was invaluable. His attention to detail, knowledge of the market and “Relax… We will guide you THE ENTIRE PROCESS “approach was something unique that we have experienced with. Amar is simply THE BEST. A true commitment for lifetime is what you get from Amar. No Realtor will work and provide an excellent service and continue to support your needs in the way that Amar did because sometimes even via email, phone call just the communication itself, we felt that he was working just for us AND thinking that he is doing this for over such a long time speaks volumes about Amar’s commitment towards his clients. We can't imagine going through this process with anyone but him. I have no doubt in my mind, if you buy or sell property in Bay Area and not using AMAR then you are missing something for sure.

Peter Howard Senior Vice President at Triple Ring Technologies (TRT) Our experience with Amar and his wife, and their colleagues and teammates was stellar. From the first contact, Amar was there for us, and even more importantly, significantly improved the deal we got on the home, on the mortgage, on the insurance, and on the ancillary services following closing. Some people are born with a sense for negotiation, and Amar is one of them. With his close counseling, we were able to get the home we wanted for $50k less than we were willing to pay, and even more below the bank appraisal range. In addition, he negotiated closing terms that saved us and additional $8k or so in closing costs, and even got the seller to pay for major appliance insurance on top of that.. Amar has formed relationships with key contributors to the home buying process. He is willing and able to make recommendations when you ask for them, but is not pushy about the recommendations he makes. Our experience with his recommendation for mortgage lender was eye-poppingly amazing, saving us weeks in the closing process, and a full 3/8th percent better than any other offer on the 30 year rate, at one of the nation's largest banking institutions. Plus, they subsidized closing costs! His recommendation for insurance agent, representing one of the nation's largest insurance companies, saved us significant cost on the home policy, but also about $800/year on our auto policies. And she has been a pleasure to deal with. I have had the pleasure to work with truly excellent real estate agents on 15 different purchase and sale experiences, but Amar is the most effective of all, by a significant margin. Depending upon your cultural background, Amar may come across as a bit salesy, but don't be put off: he is the real deal. Work with him. You will not regret it.

Shweta Deshpande QA Engineer at Integnology We are so thrilled with our new home in San Jose! Thank you so much to both Sri and Amar for all that you did to help us through this process! Bay area is a tough market for home buyers, especially so for first time home buyers. We needed a realtor who could help us navigate the waters without getting overwhelmed and deal with multiple fronts of price and location, negotiations, state of the house and disclosures, fitting our family’s needs and desires, handling multiple offers in a very competitive environment, that too in a very short closing time. To get the home we want, there are lot of pieces of the puzzle that need to fit together. Effort, luck, persistence and most of all professional skills to make good on opportunities. Amar and Sri have been many pieces of that puzzle! Throughout our long search for our home, they have been patiently answering all our questions, doubts, helping us understand different aspects of home buying, helping us learn what to look for beyond our home checklist that we started with, thinking about real issues of long term ownership, weighing pros and cons. Their experience has been very valuable for the critical time of placing an offer, particularly for setting up a strategy. We had to deal with multiple offers situation, on a nontypical offer deadline schedule, and they helped us put a preemptive offer and still hit the price range without getting overextended, which is a common risk for such preemptive offer situation. Sri and Amar’s team has been very professional in the execution. Despite many moving pieces and uncertainties involved, every step was done on time, every small detail was followed up. They have been particularly good at evaluating disclosures, combing with a fine brush, seeking any problems and risks. Their biggest strength we saw in them was negotiating the best deal, attempting multiple approaches, persisting beyond reasonable efforts to make the deal happen. Once the offer was accepted, they were still involved in all the finer details, keeping close tabs on the escrow closure, collaborating with multiple people, the seller’s agent, title company, home warranty and insurance, keeping the endgoal in sight. At the end of the day, it’s not the ‘cozy worry free home buying experience’, but the real learning experience that we very much appreciate! Thanks again for all the help and assistance, suggestions and guidance. We won't hesitate to recommend you to anyone! To get the home you want in this bay area market, Amar and Sri are the realtors you would want on your side! We wish Sri and Amar continued success, good health, and happiness!

Priya Khisti Full Stack Developer Today we closed on our home in bay area and I have to say that it would have been impossible without Amar and Sri. We literally put an offer on a house in just two weeks and then closed within a month. People take years to find and buy a house in bay area. In our case Amar was able to put an offer on the house even before it came on market and that helped us skip the bidding war. He was also able to get the price down by 15K which is unheard of in bay area. All credit goes to his negation skills and offer strategy. Both Amar and Sri understood our needs and budget in just one meeting. They are on top of everything and we never ever had to send any kind of follow-up emails. He also helped us with mortgage lenders and pre-approval process. So if anyone want to buy a house in bay area then Amar is the best realtor you can ever get!

Shivnath Babu Co-founder/CTO at Unravel Data Systems and Associate Professor at Duke University Amar and his team were simply terrific during the entire home buying process. Starting from our very first meeting with Amar, it was clear to us that Amar would help us like a trusted friend while being extremely professional in dealing with the complex process of buying a house in the crazy Bay Area market. We made a bid on a house together. Well, Amar has the midas touch, and we are now proud owners of this home! This house was hotly contested for. It received no less than 22 offers. I have every reason to believe that, despite ours not being the highest bid, Amar and his team’s attention to detail swung the deal in our favour. Amar’s involvement did not stop there. Amar and his team (thanks, Sri, Stacey, and Narayan!) helped us all the way through the loan process and many other things until we had the keys in hand. I cannot emphasize this enough. Having been through the same process in the past, I can say that Amar has put together an amazing team and also established a professional network that is unparalleled. I later found out that Amar is ranked among the top 3 agents in the nation at Keller Williams Realty. Having known him professionally for over two months now, I can see why. I have had many discussions with Amar and honestly feel that Amar’s knowledge of the Bay Area market has few equals. It is hard to find someone who is more passionate about his work. If Amar agrees to help you with the home buying process, then you will have a smooth ride for sure. April 17, 2016, Shivnath was Amar Realtor's client

Vamsi Mareddy Experienced Infrastructure/Web Engineer Amar is a realtor whom I would highly recommend. I probably spent a total of 5 days spread over 3 months visiting houses with him and 3 of them ended us with making offers. During the first meeting, Amar takes time to understand your requirements and tells you very frankly about the market and what to expect. He then make sure that every home he recommends is something worth for you to ponder about weighing the pros and cons. Once an offer is made, rest assured that it is followed up very closely on it and you are kept abreast of all the news. I can vouch that this alone will help you understand the market and shorten your search period. Amar is very frank about his opinions and where he thinks a house would sell for and he has been very accurate. Once an offer is accepted, he personally makes sure through his relationships that the loan closes soon and you get the best terms possible. Case in point - I had originally agreed on a certain rate with my banker, but Amar later drove down to the banker’s office and made sure we got a further rate reduction. This does show that Amar does care about his clients, tries to get them a house that they want and for the best terms possible. May 2, 2012, Vamsi was Amar Realtor's client

Kalyan Chanda Sr Software Engineer in Test at Omnicell Inc We are first time home buyers and have been looking for a home for a while. As with most home buyers, our selection criteria was good community, school district, proximity to work and price point. Given the competitive housing market, we wanted a great agent who could understand our requirement, area we were looking in and also navigate us through the home buying process. That is when we found Amar. When we met him the first time, we knew he clearly understood our requirement and the housing market. A unique characteristic of Amar is that he envisions himself as the buyer and treats the transaction as if it were his own home. Once we found a house that matched our criteria, Amar wasted absolutely no time in formulating and presenting a winning offer before any bidding wars erupted. Overall, Amar strategy and spellbound negotiation skills got us the house and also saved us money on the closing costs. He also guided us through the closing process to make sure it went as smoothly as possible. Getting a home at the best possible price is quite tough in this competitive market and Amar has exceeded our expectations doing that for us. We are very happy with our decision to choose Amar to represent us in our home buying process and we certainly recommend him without reservations. October 17, 2013, Kalyan was Amar Realtor's client

Sampath Ramasamy Camera Software at Apple 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.

Kunal Sahu Engineering Manager Stressful, frustrating, tough - these are some of the words that usually come to one's mind when one thinks about buying one's first home. We have been hunting our first home for the past 6 months, but with no luck. Multiple offers submitted, few got counters and nothing accepted. We were also waiting for our first kid to arrive this summer. Life was chaotic at best until we bumped into Amar (through one of our friends at LinkedIn). From our very first conversation with Amar, we could feel the difference between him and other agents we have been working with. Amar came across somebody who has in-depth knowledge of the Bay Area real-estate market and knows how to win in pressure situations. He was very very cooperative in understanding our requirements and guiding us through various areas. With multiple set-backs, we had very little hope about buying it in this aggressive market. Amar assured us that he would try his level best and there is nothing to be worried about. He has a calming presence which soothes the buyers and gives them this peace of mind. Couple of days after submitting our offer, to our surprise Amar came back to us with our offer accepted!!! We are the winners of fierce competition (10 offers) and our offer is not the highest offer. Finally, we settled in a nice corner unit in the heart of Sunnyvale. That was the first one we were working with Amar. We loved the home, its lay out and its neighbourhood. Amar worked really hard behind the scenes and added that personal touch in negotiating the deal for us. Besides, he was at the fore front of each and every stage of the home buying and saved lot of money in the process. Staying at top of things, he also made us understand the various aspects of being a home owner. He worked with the loan officer, escrow officer, selling agent, appraisal officer, insurance agent and a whole bunch of people to close the deal in less than 15 days. The speed at which Amar works is truly unbelievable. With him around, one does not need to worry about a thing. Sometimes, I feel that one has 24 hours in a day, but Amar has 30 hours in a day. The amount of stuff he manages to get done is remarkable. One has to meet and work with him to truly understand and experience it. Basically, Amar is a really nice person and lovely to work. He has his heart in this profession and brings the human aspect in the things he does. I can't recommend enough about Amar's contribution in fulfilling our dream of being a home owner. He is a ROCKSTAR! April 24, 2013, Kunal was Amar Realtor's client

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!

Zuzar Nafar Senior Director of Engineering at @WalmartLabs Our Home buying experience with Amar in simple words has been outstanding. Amar truly has a very unique approach to guiding you through the whole process. To start with before he gets into any transactional details, Amar completely eliminates the inherent fear/skepticism/stress that exists when handling real estate, which is particularly important in a high stress market like the bay area. Getting into details, Amar first focused very specific about our needs and area preferences. Once we are clear what we needed, it was a matter of meeting all the requirements and liking a home. Amar made it happen with his proven strategy, human touch, and powerful negotiation strategies. Most importantly, Amar is extremely knowledgeable about pros and cons of real estate. Obvious drawbacks that an amateur would miss he tends to highlight like a true professional. Lastly, Amar has established an eco system of professionals that make the entire process stress free….starting with the offer to mortgage, insurance to post purchase house maintenance.

Srini Koushik Being a Lifelong Learner and loving it 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.

Seetharama Sarma Ayyadevara Director of Engineering, Soha Systems In south bay area, buying a home with good schools and sub 1 million dollars price is not an easy thing. There are, and continue to be more people looking to buy homes in this range since difference between rent and mortgage is negligible. Even though you really liked the house and wanted to buy it -- there good possibility that you would not be able to get the house because of the multiple offers and heavy bidding. Now that market is heating up, it would even be more difficult to get a home. If you really want to get the house and are willing to take some heat, Amar is the realtor for you. When we wrote the offer for our home, there are more than two offers with highier price than what we have offered. But Amar structured the deal in such a way that seller accepted our offer even though our offered price is less than other offers. Then, Amar was constantly in touch with seller's agent and worked hard to get the offer accepted. Amar is highly responsive and is very helpful. He also saved us a quite a bit of money in closing costs. He has a very good working relationship with Nimeesha and Yoghesh, loan agents form wells fargo. This made it extremely easy to get the loan and make the escrow close on time. It took us about two weeks from offer acceptance to getting the keys. It normally takes around 45 days. It is a testment to the hardwork and smarts Amar put to use on our behalf to get the house we can afford in a good school district. With out Amar we would not have gotten our new home.

Balaji Rajavelu Leader in Network Quality Assurance 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. October 29, 2011, Balaji was Amar Realtor's client

He said he would keep that in mind and let us know when he finds the right value property. One fine day, Amar called us on May 4th and told us of the great investment property listed for $630K. We told him that we cannot pay beyond $650K. He came in person to our house on May 5th to let us know that we got the house. We were really surprised because there was no back-and-forth stressful negotiation that usually happens during home buying process. Then Amar gave us the real shock when he told us of the house price. He negotiated the home for $625K even though there were multiple offers up to $650K. I do not know how he did it in this over bidding market. Amar negotiation skills are excellent and very creative. His winning strategy was perfect and it really worked out for us. Amar was personally involved as if he is buying house for himself. He was personally involved in all the areas including appraisal, loan, property inspections, insurance, escrow and closing. The entire team – real estate agent, loan officer, insurance agent, property inspector, and escrow agent came together and we closed the escrow in record 20 days. That was another shocker in this market. We had heard of months to close the escrow. During escrow process, he saved us another $7,272. In total, Amar saved us around $32K.The entire process was so smooth, efficient and fast. We were the owners of the house in 20 days. All this happened because of: 1. Excellent deal negotiation skills in today’s hot market 2. His continuous guidance throughout the home buying experience 3. His personal involvement in all aspects of the home buying 4. His valuable contacts and network of people and team 5. Staying on top of every activity in the entire process until the escrow is closed. We had an excellent experience with Amar as our buying agent. I would highly recommend Amar for home buying and that would save lot of time, money, stress for a prospective home buyer.

Kishore Kumar(Scopus Consulting Group,Inc) CEO / Entrepreneur - Scopus Consulting Group, Inc We are not sure where to begin to share our experience of home buying made so easy and smooth by Mr. Amar. AMAR is one of THE BEST Realtor we have ever worked with. He guided us like a big brother and a good friend explaining all the aspects of home buying in this hot market in the neighborhood of Cupertino and Sunnyvale. Amar saved us enormous amount of dollars (the amount we were willing pay above the listed price) in his collaboration process by going beyond call of duty and $8,000.00 recovery from the lender and seller. With his expert negotiations with seller and building relationship with seller agent, he made it possible for us to purchase the house below the listed price 3 days before the public open house, which we have never thought would be possible in this bidding war with multiple offers. Amar personally involved in all areas like Appraisal, Loan, Escrow and closing process and guided us throughout Home buying process. Staying on top of every activity in the entire process to make sure end goal is accomplished as smooth as possible. Right from the beginning of our home buying, Amar gave us an impression of being more than being just a Realtor and was always available when we needed his guidance answering all our questions and being more practical. He took personal interest and went beyond boundaries to get us loan from the bank. Amar made it an extremely flawless experience - THE BEST we have seen in our experience. Amar did a thorough analysis and best strategy to win the offer. Two Thumbs up and a big hug to you. --Kishore Kumar March 4, 2014, Kishore was Amar Realtor's client

Harinath Subramaniam Senior Director - Managed Cloud Services at Oracle Amar is one of the most patient and customer oriented realtor we have come across, with his association we ended up buying an excellent property at a best deal. I recommend Amar to anyone for their realestate needs. Our Experience - Amar was knowledgeable on both the real estate industry and the neighborhoods of our interest. We visited several homes every weekend for months, but with our specific needs and tight budget, it wasn't easy finding the right property. There were a few homes matching our needs but he pointed out hidden problems that we were unaware - most realtors would have pressured us to buy at any sign of interest. Amar was incredibly quick on the turnaround time, and was always proactive. His professionalism and relentless determination in making the deal happen keeping his clients best interests at every stage of the process (and resolving unforeseen hurdles) was greatly appreciable. Amar, your passion, thoughts and actions demonstrates inclination in taking care of your clients needs first. We are proud to have you part of the team and cannot thank enough for your help. We commend you for all your efforts in buying our new home and look forward for your continued association for future needs and best wishes for expanding your portfolio of services. Thank you Amar.

Sarang Dharmapurikar Principal Engineer at Cisco Amar is very friendly Realtor and has been a great help throughout the home buying process. We looked at many homes in several areas in the bay area. Amar was always available to see every house, many times at very short notices. He provided his honest opinion on each home. His eyes noticed minute details that we have missed/not noticed and guided all the important things buyers should be aware in the home buying process. Amar diligently documented out feedback on every house to find the pattern of likes and dislikes which helped us narrow down our home search. Amar is a great negotiator. With his commendable negotiation skills, Amar able to get the home (Cupertino) 10K below in multiple offers situation and saved us over 16K in the home buying process. With his help we ended up buying a beautiful home with everything that we wanted in it and at a reasonable price. Thanks Amar. I highly recommend Amar anyone for Real Estate needs!

Kishor Voderhobli Software Engineer Amar is the true processional relator who was my front-line and took care of every tasks with keeping dates in sync, which is very important for every seller. I really like the way he works, first meeting he spent time understanding my needs, then help me making the house ready for virtual tour and photoshoot, started internet marketing weeks before the open house, navigating the crowd from every corner of the city to open house, filtering potential buyers from open house visitors, connecting with potential buyers and providing additional details about the house. He personally attended every appointments from begging to escrow closing. Most important part of the home sale is negotiating to get the best price for your house, looking at his results, it clearly shows his strength is negotiation power. Marketing, Execution and Negotiation are Amar's core strengths to take home sale to a next level by going above and beyond. Amar sold our house in 2 days after 1st open house and completed all the papers works in less than 4 weeks, his perfect execution at lighting speed with record price in the neighborhood through extensive on-line marketing is most appreciating. Amar you took care of every task in the process and made it look like very simple to me. Peace of mind during the process saved me time and focus on my family and other important things, because of you I saved time and money and made my coast-to-coast move very easy...A very big Thank you from me and Family!

Sheila Mani Finance Manager In Feb 2014, through a reference from a Mortgage Banker at Wells Fargo (Gezal Nawabi) walked into our lives Amar Amarnath and his teammate, Alicia Sandoval.After the very first conversation we had with Amar over the phone, we sensed that we had made the right choice. To quote Amar’s first words to us “don’t worry, we will put you in your new home by June”. Time was eventually going to tell us how true his words were! Amar and Alicia came to our home on a Sunday. Their approach to the home buying process was so scientific and methodical. They took the time and patience to understand our requirements and with their vast experience, gave us valuable feedback about what we were doing wrong. Within 2 hours they streamlined our search area in the East Bay, which brought the much needed clarity to our home buying process. After several Open House visits, we finally came across a beautiful home in the Irvington school district. We made a very competitive offer. Amar and Alicia displayed their experience and negotiation skills while presenting our offer. Amar worked quickly to channelize all his resources and influence (to the extent of getting the Managing Director of the Brokerage House to send an email on our behalf to win the bid). It was heartening to watch Amar work so selflessly for us.They truly cared about getting us a home and it was not just a Business for them. We lost the home by a miniscule $$. It hurt all of us very badly. Amar and Alicia, who had now become family to us, would call and email us every day to console and give us hope again proving to us that they were more than just Real Estate Agents.They genuinely care for their clients. Amar and Alicia would always say to us “Good things happen to good people and the right home is just around the corner”. In May 2014, a beautiful home came up in the same Irvington community. Amar and Alicia worked relentlessly with so much passion to get us the advantage on this home. They stayed up till 1:00am in the early hours of the morning presenting our case favorably to the Listing agent and the Sellers. It was touching to watch them work so genuinely hard for us. Finally at 1:00am on June 3rd, 2014, we got a message saying we had won the bid after competing against 17 OFFERS which included an all Cash offer. Amar's brilliant negotiation skills won us the home without having to overpay in a highly competitive cut throat bid war. Amar and his team continued to amaze us during the closing process when he told us “now just relax and enjoy,we will take care of everything”. His team took care of everything -Escrow, Insurance, Warranty. We closed Escrow in a record 21 days. All other paperwork and documentation was completed to perfection by this wonderful team. We are overwhelmed and filled with gratitude to Amar and his team. To every person out there looking for a home, this is THE ONLY TEAM you should work with.

Thirumala Reddy Mutchukota Senior Software Engineer at Google I feel very lucky to got to know Amar. When I first contacted him on April 18th 2015, I had no clue about buying a house in US and had no confidence that I can buy a house in the next six months. From there, in exactly two months, i.e by June 19th 2015, the Escrow got closed and now I am a proud owner of a beautiful house in this far far foreign land. I still can't believe that all these happened so fast and I was really able to buy a house in exactly two months. Amar played a big role in it and I will always be thankful for him for that. Here are brief list of items that made all the difference in our home buying experience ... · With the very first phone call, Amar introduced me to the loan officer Yogesh. The conversation with Yogesh cleared lot of doubts about my affordability, loan eligibility, and gave me the much needed clarity on what I am entering into. · When I informed Amar that, I liked a house on May 18th morning, I had no confidence that I will be able get it as the house is little over my budget and there are already higher bids with the seller. But, Amar gave me the confidence to go for it, gathered everything together, prepared the offer the same day, submitted it the same night and even got it accepted the very next day. So, approximately, in just over 24 hours, I went from, “I like this house, but I am not sure that I would be able to get it” to “Yes, I got it” and that's marvelous and unheard of before. · Amar execution speed and negotiation skills are extremely good and I believe those are the ones that makes him one of the most successful and well appreciated realtor. · Amar was able to win the bid even with 10k less than the highest bid. A very big thanks for him for seeing it through and convincing me to take the right step at the right time. · As soon as our offer is accepted, he introduced us to his whole team of people who came forward to help us in closing the deal on time. · Throughout the Escrow time, he was on top of everything and sending me regular updates and assurances that everything is going as per the plan and we closed the deal on on June 19th 2015. · Even after closing the escrow, he is still calling me regularly and giving all the guidance with taking over the house and moving in. In that I just see a very great friend and well-wisher in him. In Summery, Thanks to Amar for everything and God bless him with lot of health, wealth and lot more energy to help lot of other people like me in fulfilling their dreams.

Manasa Rao Addepalli Experienced Strategic planning ,Portfolio management Professional 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.

Daniel Grier-Roddy Operations Lead at Google 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. December 15, 2014, Daniel was Amar Realtor's client

Srinivasa Yedluri Staff Middleware Engineer When I think about Amar and experience with him as buyer, this is what struck my mind -- Great adviser for home buyers. -- Great price negotiator. -- Highly focused. -- Personal involvement in every step in the process. -- Highly skilled in real-estate transactions. Being a first time home buyer, I was off at times on my preferences and priorities. Amar was really helpful in explaining the reality and guiding me in the right direction and also suggesting me great mortgage lender. My transaction was not an easy one, as I have budget constraints and got into market with short preparation, however I have ambition to get good house in good school district. End of the day, Amar and his team have helped me fulfilling my ambition working patiently on all the difficulties in the way and saving me around 20K, in this steep market; without Amar and his team it wouldn't have happened.

Sumith Narayanan Software Engineer It was wonderful meeting Amar and Sri and discuss our need for a home on a Friday, the very next day we were heading to few open houses in one of the locations that we desired. Remember, it was the first open house that we visited and we had no clue about the processes, even though we were browsing quietly over few listings in Zillow and Redfin. We liked one of the houses and called up Sri to discuss on how to express our interest to the sellers. Two days later we again visited the same house, this time with Amar and Sri and went through the details of the house once more. We made sure that it will be good for us a family and then the very next day put up an offer. Amar and Sri called us late in the night to break the good news. So, to pre-approval to offer acceptance, it was just over 2 weeks altogether. We did not have to run around a submit offers and then get dejected multiple times, as is the case in bay area where there are always multiple offers for good homes. Amar Relator has a team of finance, insurance and warranty guys who took us through all the process and we got benefitted because of the team work. If you really want to stress free home buying experience in bay area, Amar is the go to person. Also Amar negotiates rates for you at every process, let it be the bidding Or the closing charges Or better financing. I feel Amar can get you what you want, for the best price, really top-notch !!

Raj Behera Project Manager - Customer Validation Group at SAP Labs Amar is one of very good Realtor in a sense of the current competitive market in bay area. I start with the word that “I recommend Amar to all my friends, colleagues and also new comers”. Let me write few words about him as what I gained from choosing him as my Agent to buy a home. Amar has many valued personal traits such as the “Art of Negotiations” and “Flawless Execution”. That impresses me a lot!! The unique quality of negotiations in Amar brings us high level of confidence & integrity in his ability. He is very competent!! The strength in Amar lies in understanding your requirement in full without neglecting any minor open end questions, Secondly he offers himself throughout the life cycle of home buying exercises such as selection of the right home, selection of the right neighborhood, and selection of other personal criteria such as directions of home and geo central locations. Amar considers as if he is buying for himself and going to stay in the home, he is very thorough in his work and puts forward his experiences insight into the selection procedures. He is always accessible and offers high grade of professional services, displays a pleasant, cheerful disposition. Amar possesses the quality of knowing what has to be done, makes practical suggestions, and effectively writes the contract, offering agreement, and openness for sharing views during the home buying process. Amar has a great network of friends in the Bank, Sellers Agents, Market Analysts, Home improvement service contractors and other affiliated organizations. We are very impressed with his quality service & execution and I truly trust in his words & deeds. I encourage all to take the advantage of Amar’s expertise and be a proud Home owner…Good luck!!

Kumaran Santhanakrishnan Independent Consultant at My company Investment (2012): Amar, Experience working with you is not something new to me, I already enjoyed this when buying my primary home. -You got me an exceptional deal on the house with your extraordinary negotiation. The strategy you choose to make seller accept the deal is fantastic. -Your encouragement and directions gave me strength for me to make this bold move. -Your dedication to save money to your clients is awesome and you go to any extent to achieve it. -Guidance on all aspects (appraisal, loan, escrow, insurance, etc.) is simply superb. -Hats off to your 100% worry free transaction -My advice to whoever in buying/selling real estate, never miss the opportunity of being Amar’s client. There are reasons for his clients come back to him again and again for real estate needs. -You work 100% hard to keep up your motto (“clients for life”). Primary: (2011) Short Sale - A pleasant travel with Amar from beginning to end. It was a pleasure working with Amar. I highly recommend Amar to all our friends and family. We were stunned on how passionate he is on his work. Before meeting Amar, we were looking for house for almost 2+ years and we did not get one that met our expectations. Amar found the house, which met our expectations perfectly in less than a month time frame. He is very honest in providing his feedback on all the properties he showed to us. He is an expert in calculating real value of given property in given area. It was amazing for us on how much granular his data about particular house including upgrades, neighborhood, value, etc. This really helped us in making our decision fast and easy. In fact, he spent more time in the property and it’s neighborhood than us. He provided guidance in all aspect starting from lining up loan agent, inspection, insurance, contractors (if you need one). If you want to save your time and money, I will recommend to go with these people blindly. He has the best contacts in all aspects. -Very patient and prompt in answer any question (I asked many silly questions, sorry Amar) at any point of time. -Take oncoming unexpected problems (eg. loan conditions) in his hand personally, fix them and just inform you at the end. Just as an agent he don’t have to do this. This is like he is taking a first hit on the problem, instead of just passing it on to you. Gives 100% value to your requirements/needs and provide additional information to support them. This has been the best experience we have ever had with any real estate service. At the end I felt, it is not just a transaction – it is transaction filled with life, joy, gift or whatever you name it. If you really want to do a VERY BIG FAVOR/HELP to yourself or your friends/family looking forward to buy/sell property, just line them up with Amar. This is the best gift you can give it to your friends or family. Thanks Amar, for you patience, confidence and never give-up mentality which really helped in getting this house.

Prashanthi Ravanavarapu Product Architect, Financial Health at PayPal Amar and Sri were amazing partners in our home buying search. When we first spoke to them, they took the time to understand our priorities. When we expressed interest in a home that wasn't available they helped us find alternatives. However, when the same home came back into the market, their approach really stood out. They were aggressive in helping us arrive at a decision and getting us the home that would work best for us financially as well as for our life. Throughout their partnership, they have been supportive with different kinds of questions we had and helped us with several aspects of thinking through how to make the new house a home for our young family. We have been in the market for 3 years and had lost a few bids but Amar and Sri's approach has helped us close on the very first offer through them within month of first contact. The results speak for it. They ensured we got the best price and well below listing price. Lastly, our home closing was complicated due to issues beyond our controls. Amar managed the situation very well and helped us close despite all complications.

Lalith Kancharla Engineer at Nest I never felt Amar is an outside person trying to offer you something. My first time home buying experience cannot be more pleasure than this..... Amar trained me in all the tools required to take informed decisions right from day 1. He took time to drop by my office during lunch on very 1st week I talked to him. He spent time to understand what I am looking for and gave valuable suggestions on how to begin the hunt.Every listing that I send, Amar has responded what are the pros, cons and suggested actions. In just 2 months we found the right property, Amar flung into action. Seller had multiple competitive offers on the table. With Amar's sure-fire Negotiation skills bid 3% less than other offers and still managed to win the deal with his creativity. Winning such a deal is incredible and astonishing in multiple offers situation. Above all, Amar got the deal way below what I authorised him to make an offer price. This itself saved me 30K.Most of the Realtors simply don’t care saving buyers such a huge money when buyer himself authorizes to make offer price. Amar handles the whole transaction as his own transaction and always keeping client interest in heart. Amar efforts doesn’t stop there.... I was out of town while closing the deal. Amar by himself took care of home inspection, termite inspection, mortgage consultant, escrow, repairing, etc at the best possible deal. In this process, Amar actions not only saved me over 5K but also time and efforts. After closing the deal, Amar followed up to make sure everything was looking good and offered help to resolve any problems with the property. Amar’s constant and proactive efforts and guidance throughout the process is amazing experience and joyful journey. In short, Amar is a reflection of you who guides to take informed decisions. It was a pleasure experience Amar. I would recommend Amar to anyone who is looking for a dream Home. January 29, 2012, Lalith was Amar Realtor's client

Sridhar Meda Senior Software Engineer Amar is My Realtor for Life. Amar saved us well over $20,000 during my dream home buying process. The way Amar handled the whole buying process by going above and beyond is one of the greatest memory forever. Here is my experience of beautiful journey. I was referred to Amar via another friend who had strongly recommended him as a one stop shop. I was glad to be introduced to Amar as he instilled confidence from the beginning. As the first call of duty was to get preapproved for the loan, Amar put me in touch with Yogesh Rane, a mortgage consultant par excellence. I got a taste of Amar’s networking prowess after talking to Yogesh. After the pre-approval process completion, we have found a house that met all my constraints and that I really liked. Knowing all the constraints Amar pointed out the pros and cons of the house. We also looked at a different house in the same community that met most of the constraints but not all. Here also Amar pointed out the pros and cons, Amar was really honest in giving me the true picture on every home and not give me an answer that fit my needs. I really appreciated Amar for his expert guidance. We discussed both options in front of us and decided whole heartedly to move forward with the first house. Amar was able to engage the Seller’s realtor, explain our enthusiasm for the house. Amar was able to get our offer accepted at a price that was lower than the asking price (even with other interested parties in the race) with his exemplary negotiation skills. During the whole process, there were several times during which we almost thought that the offer would not be accepted or that we would get bumped out by other parties. Amar was on the top of the situation all the times and involved deeply in to transaction to win our offer by all means . With Amar’s creative ideas, we overcome all the road blocks during loan process. We always felt that we were the most important clients to Amar and we always wondered how he was able to pull it off even when handling multiple clients. Amar was in constant communication during entire process. Yogesh was able to get me a record low mortgage rate due to Amar’s partnership. At closing, Amar has saved me a ton of money by being able to retain the high end appliances, getting the seller to pay for various closing services etc. As I write about my home buying experiences sitting in my new Home, I can’t imagine how this would have been possible without Amar and Yogesh. The goals I had laid out to Amar were all fully satisfied and I was able to get a house that satisfied all my conditions. Amar is a wonderful individual personally and professionally and a realtor who can get things done in right way. I first have to thank my friend for referring Amar to me and to Amar and his team for making this happen so smoothly and in such a professional way. As mentioned above, I can’t imagine going to others for my realty needs. Amar and his team are my team for Life. Period. September 1, 2012, Sridhar was Amar Realtor's client

Pranav Mistry Production Ops - Network Engineering / Operations Our Journey with Amar... We recently bought our first home. Which we never thought we could have btw, if it was not for Amar. Hearing others experiences, it sounded like buying a home can be very nerve wrecking and stressful. However, when we started off with Amar, he provided us with a wealth of information about the location/area that had tremedous potential and value proposition. After meeting and understanding Amar's thought processes/professionalism, we knew we made the right choice and were in good hands. He was very pleasant to work with and patiently answered all my questions/concerns and even dumb questions :). Nerve wreck and stress thrown out of the window :)...thanks to Amar !! There are realtors who get their clients good deals and there are realtors like Amar (who understands the clients objectives and goals) whose motive is not only to get their clients a good deal, but get a place that you can call HOME !!..and the constant support through-out the whole process until you get your keys is mind bogling. Realtors don't do that, but Amar DOES !! If one understands what trust and faith means, then that is what we had for Amar. Right from the beginning, Amar's involvement in the whole process was more then just commendable. . He constantly guides their clients from start to finish. With his great negotiating skills, he got us a home below the asking price (arond $54k less) from the builder. Then came the lender, even with some minor hiccups (new lender), he managed to workout a solution which was in the client's favor/benefit. He got us additional credits from the lender that we never expected. We not only landed up getting free upgraded appliances, but we hardly paid anything for closing. Then comes to recording/closing, how many people have recorded/closed/get funding before the closing date?? We did and Amar managed to get that done. 11.11.11 was a remarkable day/date for us (got our keys), because Amar made sure everything was on track. Everyone has a dream home, but surreal is not the right word for our home, because it's beyond our dreams. Amar took care of almost all the work. Every little details were taken care. Now that we are closed, we not only have good a house, but I think we have a new family member.. Amar !!

Yogendra Srungaram Product Manager Technology and Software Amar ji helped us find our dream home which met our exact requirements.Our requirements are pretty tough :) I know Amar ji for a while. I know him personally. He is a good friend. But when it comes to business he is extremely focused, professional and dedicated.He left no stone un-turned to get us the winning deal. Along with his deep technical knowledge about the housing market, the biggest asset he brings to the table are his unconventional skills. He understands our requirements and also the seller's requirements and bridges those gaps between both the parties. Winning and closing houses are a norm for him.Wishing him the best in helping lots of home buyers like us buy their dream homes, Thanks you once again and all the best.

Ashish Kumar Manager - Professional Services at Fiserv It was a pleasure working with Amar. Before I met Amar, I worked with 2 other agents and they could not get me a deal. In fact with them I never got the feeling that they have the ability to close a deal. With Amar, from the first offer we made, I knew that he’s the person who can get me a house in this tough market. Amar got me win-win deal and then taking care of all closing costs was added bonus. Above all, when I saw house pictures in appraisal report and came to know that he got the house cleaned up for appraisal, I was so deeply touched. Starting from finding a home in this tough market to closing was not possible without your help and dedication Amar. I really appreciate all the hard work that has gone into making this transaction successful. All in all, it was a real pleasure working with Amar. I would recommend Amar any day to anyone for real estate needs. August 9, 2013, Ashish was Amar Realtor's client

Mukesh Jyothi Technical Lead at Blackhawk Network It was indeed a great pleasure to work with such a smart and talented realtor that was Amar. Right from the first moment I talked to him I was convinced that I was dealing with someone who was highly confident and knew in and out of the real estate business. I was a first time homebuyer with absolutely no idea about where to start. Amar guided me through the basics of how to go about buying a home. He wanted to make sure that my expectations were realistic and did not end up making a mistake. Amar introduced me to a lending agent who sat down with me in person to work out my financials. I am very thankful to Amar. Once the financials were in place and I was ready to look for a home, Amar played a role which was very helpful yet not very invasive. Once the property that I liked, I would inform him and he and his team would then do the groundwork and make sure that the home will satisfy my expectations. Amar then prepares a very strategic plan on putting forth an offer that gave me the highest chances of winning the home. Each step of the way from identifying the home, putting the offer, contract process and the financial aspect, Amar and his team were extremely professional and helpful. Amar personally was even able to arrange a discount for me with the lender. In several key areas where I needed advice Amar was quick to point me in the right direction. I don't have any hesitation in recommending Amar to anyone who is thinking of buying a home in the bay area. Amar and his dedicated team of professionals will leave no stone unturned until you are settled in the home of your dreams. September 21, 2014, Mukesh was Amar Realtor's client

Kul Bhushan Senior Program Manager at Cisco Systems One of my friend referred Mr. Amar to me and I’m so glad for that. He helped us in getting our new home and we were so fortunate that he was there to guide and help us on every steps. Amar is very professional, trustworthy and a man of integrity. Throughout the complete transaction he was on the top of things and very prompt and responsive. And most importantly he saved us thousands of dollars which we’re not expecting at all. This deal was like his personal deal and he worked so hard on it to get this house for us in the best value proposition. Amar provided his excellent services as a real estate agent.

Soumendu Chakraborty Technical Lead - Performance & Scalability at Oracle USA Inc. Amar and Sri not only work as a team but also associate themselves with a team of highly experienced professionals from every facet of the real estate business providing a completely seamless home buying experience. This gets reflected in their execution resulting in super-fast closing and and zero last-moment surprises / hitches – something both the buyer (us) and the seller acknowledges as the topmost priority. For that, kudos to Amar and his team. Our first time home buying experience could have been nerve-racking and confusing if it was not for Sri. Her responsiveness and accessibility at every phase of the process was remarkable. She was there to guide us throughout the whole process and always reminded us of the most important items in the checklist and their timelines. She always responded to my phone calls in a timely manner and had the answers I needed. As a buyer, that was invaluable to me. Both Amar & Sri are knowledgeable & are ready to share their information readily. Starting from narrowing down the location to possible minor and major home renovation ideas – always eager to put their knowledge on the table and let us make the decision-making. They realized our predicament as first-time home buyers and were proactive but also very patient. Amar was on-top of each bid we put and Sri always went over the final offer and contract with me every time. That made me feel comfortable during the whole process and helped me concentrate on the big picture. I truly believe that the services provided by the buyer and seller agents in today’s world of hectic schedules, complex laws and competitive real estate markets are of tremendous value and importance. Amar and Sri deserves all the accolades for that and more. I highly recommend them for their competence, professionalism, responsiveness and closing skills. For a job well done, full marks to Amar & Sri. August 5, 2016, Soumendu was Amar Realtor's client

Sujatha Kashyap Away Amar, First of all, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for pulling off a miracle. When I first moved to California a year and a half ago, I spoke to a couple of highly-recommended real estate agents, and they all told me to expect to go through several unsuccessful bids before managing to win a home. It discouraged me at the time. When I decided to look again this year, and found you, I had no reason to believe it would be any different. The market had continued its meteoric rise, and things should only have been harder. Yet, you won me the very first place I set my heart on. And you won it at an unbeatable price, lower than I expected to pay for it, lower than anybody can believe I paid for it. That is a testament to your unparalleled abilities along so many dimensions: - Your negotiating prowess - Your steel determination - Your character that always goes the extra mile to fight for your customer - Your exceptional business acumen - Your expert knowledge of the market, and reading of the bidding situation All of the above would have been impressive even if we had been targeting a regular sale, but this was a probate sale! I expected the process to take months in the best case, but you pulled the whole thing off, from the time I called you till the time I had the keys to my new place in hand, in less than a month. You handled every single detail of the transaction, so all I had to do was show up, point at the place I wanted and the price I could afford, and then show up for some signatures. You were on top of every single detail, from financing to insurance, making sure the closing was done in record time. You saved me over $30K through unbelievably shrewd negotiations – I am convinced NO other human being could possibly have pulled that off. It was far beyond the call of duty, because I had given you full authority to pay the higher price. The fact that you still looked out for my bottomline is why you have a fan for life. Even your “opponent” (the seller’s agent) was filled with admiration. You take real estate brokering to the level of fine art. Thank you, again, for everything you have done for me. You have a customer for life, and I will make sure I send anyone interested in buying real estate in California to you. Because my friends deserve the best!

Moninder Jheeta Sr. Director of Engineering at GoDaddy From the day I emailed Amar to the day the county registered me as the owner of record took only 7 weeks! We found a home that I liked in one weekend of open houses, and he made sure that our first (and only) offer got accepted. I was in a somewhat desperate situation given the extreme sellers market in SF and a short relocation time frame and so was willing to overpay to get a house, but Amar wouldn’t hear of it. Even though I authorized him to go way above the list price, he negotiated as if it was his own money he was spending, and made an offer that was substantially lower than what I authorized. There were at least 10 offers on the home, and the sellers agent had made counters to 5 buyers. Because of the competition, I asked him numerous times during the offer process if our offer was really going to be high enough. But he explained his offer-counteroffer strategy to me, it paid off, and we ended up getting the house for 50K under my max price. Just trust Amar, he will not pay a dime extra than he needs to in order to get the home. After the offer was accepted, his experienced, well-oiled closing team took over. Every detail got taken care of. He was involved behind the scenes working with the loan officer as well as escrow smoothing everything over and making sure it was all on schedule. I just kept sending them whatever documents they wanted, and we were ready to sign the closing documents in 3 weeks. In addition to all this, Amar is responsive on the phone, email, or text, far beyond the call of duty. If there are any questions you might have, as long as he is awake, he is available to talk. So for anybody who might have questions about Amar, I can tell you this – he is the real deal, and will be super committed to getting the job done for you. Shoot him an email, and then relax, because you will have just made the best decision of your real estate search. There is virtually a near certainty that shortly, you will be the owner of exactly the home you want. May 31, 2014, Moninder was Amar Realtor's client

Dharamendra Krishnamurthi Sr Automation Test Engineer at OpenTable I have had the good fortune of working with Amar once, for exactly three weeks between February and March 2013, when we were contemplating purchasing a small home in a location with a good school district. That was when we connected with Amar who came very highly recommended by one of our friends. Just to test the waters, we pointed him to an Ideal home (we knew it was impossible for us to get it within our very limited allocated budget) for which there was 100+ visitors and 50+ bidders, and we also knew that it would close at a much higher rate. We wanted to test the waters and mentioned about this house to Amar. We wanted to see how Amar works, so that we can decide whether to utilize his services in the further searches. Three weeks later, we have the Home!! The Only home that we saw, and thought was impossible to own. Amar did a fantastic job of grabbing victory from the jaws of defeat so to say. He was always prompt with his updates and information, His negotiation skills was good enough to convince the sellers and their agent to choose us, to sell the house to. we were not expecting this to happen at all, but it happened in three weeks, and at a rate that we thought was impossible to achieve. Amar possesses deep knowledge of the real estate business, and works with a creme-de-la-creme of a team that literally move mountains to make Impossible a reality. We have found Amar to be genuine, Extremely hard working, making sure the we were kept updated, and most importantly ensure that he gets the best out of his extended team to make this happen for us, reassuring us all along the process. It was a fantastic experience working with Amar, and I will recommend Amar as the Go to guy if you are looking to buy a home in the bay area. March 10, 2013, Dharamendra was Amar Realtor's client

Hanuma Challa TechLead, SQA at NETSCOUT As a first time home buyer, I was little nervous initially. But Amar explained the whole home buying process very clearly. Amar listens to his client’s inputs and feedback very patiently to understand requirements. Amar took me to multiple areas, showed me different range of houses, and answered all my questions. He gives honest feedback on the houses, real value of the house, pros and cons of the house, and work as a team in making informed decisions. Amar is simply the great Realtor and enjoys his profession. Amar uses his management skills in technology industry to go with a right strategy during the offer process. He dynamically adjusts his plan based on the changes in the process. He makes sure everyone in the family are happy with the house they are buying. Throughout the buying process, he acts like he is buying the house for himself. His negotiation skills are great in closing the transaction at lower price. His loan agents are great in getting lowest rate, and close the transaction on-time. Amar will not miss any opportunity to save extra $$$ for his clients. Amar negotiated the best deal and most favourable terms possible. He negotiated $10K less than the price I told him in multiple offers situation. His negotiation skills are amazing. Amar saved me over $15K in this whole process and saved me lot of time by getting things done without me physically present. Amar guidance in the whole process is priceless. Amar is extremely helpful to me in finding right home with great price. Amar real estate service exceeded my expectations and delivered exceptional results at the highest level.

Lokesh Balcha Software Development Engineer at Yahoo First and the foremost, I would like thank Amar from the bottom of my heart for helping us with our Home buying experience. My wife and I moved to the Bay area in California a few years ago. Since then, we have been renting apartments at different places. Quite recently, we realised it would be nice to have a spacious home of our own, that way we can start creating memories. We started to explore for the perfect Realtor who will suit our requirements. Through my wife’s family, we got introduced to Amar. The first time we met Amar, He outlined the House buying process and understood our requirements well. Amar make our dream come true in less than a week. The very next day following the day we met him, we started receiving emails from Sri (Amar’s wife) and Amar regarding the listings in the neighbourhood we had requested for. My wife and I short listed and with the help of Sri, we checked the first home of our interest. Meanwhile, Amar and Sri suggested we get the pre-approval for our loan from the Bank. We did accordingly. With the pre-approval we were all set to look for our perfect home. As this was our very first home visit, we had yen number of questions. Sri and Amar patiently answered all our queries and cleared our doubts. Amar and Sri gave us lot of valuable suggestions and advised us to proceed with this property and put an offer on the house. Further, Amar also suggested we place an offer for 10k lesser than the listed price. We did accordingly and that was the night of Thursday. Kudos to Amar and Sri’s excellent negotiation skills! They were able to impeccably sense the pulse of the seller and we got our offer accepted on the morning of Saturday with no counter offer. It was a joyous moment for all of us and we couldn’t thank Amar enough. We proceeded with the inspection on the house and it took about a couple of days for that to get done. Amar promptly sent us the inspection reports and set up a conference call with us to explain us each line mentioned in the report with great detail. I don’t know if other Realtors take so much trouble and go to this extent of sitting down with you and baby you with so much care. Once we discussed the report and the expenses that followed, we came to understand that there were some immediate expenses that needed to be taken care of it. My wife and I were in dilemma if we had enough funds to bear the immediate expenses on the house. He calmly listened to our concerns and believe it or not, the next day we heard the news from Sri that Amar had negotiated with the seller and made them agree to pay for the initial expenses on the house. My wife and I were speechless on hearing this news. Amar never ceases to amaze us! We thanked him profusely for his absolutely selfless and dedicated effort. We are the proud home owners. Thanks to Amar and his team for walking us through our home buying experience in California and making our dreams come true. August 22, 2016, Lokesh was Amar Realtor's client

Nagendra Cherukupalli CTO at LinkBee 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 August 1, 2012, Nagendra was Amar Realtor's client

Amit Sangani Engineering Manager at Facebook Hands down, Amar is one of the best real estate agents in Bay Area! We were looking for a home in Los Altos/Palo Alto in crazy market where each home was receiving 5+ offers at minimum. Amar was able to find a beautiful home for us and at extremely good value. Amazingly, he won the deal for $40K less than the highest offer. How did he do it? He put extremely enticing offer to seller almost equivalent to cash offer, but not really a cash offer! Seller accepted our offer over the highest offer. Very few agents are skilled enough to execute the way Amar does. Amar’s amazing execution, negotiation skills, and offer strategy, bar none. He negotiated close to $15K towards the closing costs - saving us almost $55K in addition to finding extremely valuable property which we both agree can be sold for $200K above what we bought for in this market. He negotiated to make it a win-win situation for us and the seller. He also project managed the entire process super efficiently (for e.g. working with loan agent, keeping seller agent warm, Home warranty, Escrow, Funding, Recording, etc). Our file was complex, but Amar & Yogesh (loan agent) totally nailed it. Here are some of Amar's pros for buyers out there. Amar - - Understands bay area market really well. - Evaluates each home as if he was looking for his own family - Does not waste time bidding on properties which do not provide value for his buyers - Negotiates and puts an extremely compelling offer which is sure to save buyer's hard-earned dollars - Guides through the entire process which is really priceless - Is a nice person by heart!

Saiprasad Mishra Staff Engineer@WalmartLabs THANK YOU Amar for being there in EVERY step of my Home buying process. I have no words to express your efforts, dedication, and commitment to fulfil my challenging requirements. Once I met Amar to discuss about my home situation. Right after the discussion, I know he is the person can do the job right. Before meeting Amar, I also talk to couple of agents. I have 24 days to move out of the home and looking in great school district with limited budget. Amar understood our situation and started focusing on us to get single family home in Fremont. Once we all liked the home and everyone on-board, Amar’s through well-connected network, sure-fire negotiation, promptness in action, and right judgment at the right moment, our offer accepted. This happens not through magic, but creative thinking, personnel touch with agents, and strategy. Amar’s credibility, reputation, and Keller Williams Realty (No: 1 company in US) does matters in big picture. YES! Amar closed the home less than $9,950 than list price in multiple offers situation and there are offers higher than the list price. How it’s possible in the crazy market. The way Amar packaged our offer, and presentation of the offer process made a big difference. I met with seller and listing agent in person, both are very tough people to deal. I always wonder how Amar convinced listing agent and seller to convince to go with offer. What I liked about Amar is the value, expertise, and professionalism. The level of depth he personally involves in every stage of the transaction is amazing. Most importantly, execution our offer terms in a professional and timely manner gave me the peace of mind in the process. I am so impressed with negotiations and the right guidance; I have referred 2 people before closing my transaction. Amar on top of loan and escrow process to close in less than 18 days. In the whole process, Amar saved us $28,379. Finding the right home, winning the offer in multiple offers situation below list price, saving lot of money, and closing in less than 24 days itself speak volumes about Amar’s professionalism. Amar have shown me a great example of what professional agent means, and totally changed my impression about agent. From the offer to the last day of moving in, he made me feel everything is taken care. It has been a great experience. If you read all the way down to here, you probably know what I am going to say. Yes, you are right, I highly recommend Amar no matter you are selling or buying a house, because his professionalism and passion will not change.

A D. Engineer 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.

Sean Lie Founder and Chief Hardware Architect at Cerebras Systems Amar, We want to truly thank you for helping us buy our first home. From the moment we first met, you listened and understood our wants and needs. You searched for homes that fit our criteria and steered us away from homes that were not good investments. After we found our home, your connections with other professionals (bankers, inspectors, fumagators, etc.) allowed us to receive quality service and deals at a momments notice. We especially appreciate your determination in helping us save a significant amount of money throughout the home buying process. Your hard work, dedication, organization and aggressive negotiation skills contributed to making this a pleasant experience. Your deligence and efficiency allowed us to close escrow in record time and move into our home much sooner than we thought possible. Thank you for taking this journey with us and for being very professional and going above and beyond. We really appreciate the personal attention you gave us. As first time home buyers, we were a little nervous and anxious. However, you gave us continued support and guidance every step of the way. You answered all of our questions and we learned a lot from you about the home buying process along the way. You truly are the best realtor out there and we will be sure to tell others about our exceptional expereince. It has been a great pleasure working with you! Sincerely, Sean and Jen December 23, 2011, Sean was Amar Realtor's client

Ashish Chaudhary Associate Vice President at EXILANT Technologies Private Limited We would like to thank Amar, Sri and their team for helping us narrow down and secure our home. The incredible speed and ease with which we were taken through the process is nothing short of amazing. Amar gave us complete guidance of the current housing market situation, the things to check for and the areas and homes we should plan to target. This was an important step in our goal of becoming a home-owner. He also set us up with the right people for financing and other logistics that was extremely helpful. In a nutshell, it was a one-stop solution for us! Amar and Sri were very patient in detailing the pros and cons of the shortlisted houses to us, while giving us the right inputs on what to watch out for. Amar, as you have said, you always strive for a partnership and client for life—you have one with us. In you and Sri we know we have great advisors and trusted friends.

Asok Tiyyagura Software Engineer Amar was excellent at guiding us throughout the process and making our first time home buying process a pleasant experience. He is patient and listened to all our needs. He personally visited the property to evaluate its pros and cons and discussed them with us before making the offer and tried to get us the best deal by all possible means. Amar had the right strategy in winning the property for 15K less than the authorized price under multiple offer scenarios. He also negotiated to extend the escrow by moving the closing date further to save $$$ and recovered about 3K from lender/seller to help cover closing costs. Amar was on top of every activity and was personally engaged during each step including appraisal, loan, escrow and closing. Bottom line, with his flawless execution, I felt confident with Amar on our side during this entire process and sincerely appreciate his close collaboration in helping us get our dream Home.

Divakar Karavadi Release Manager at Delta Dental Just awesome! Enthusiastic, friendly, expert, go-getter, responsive, passionate, and a clear vision – the first few words that come to my mind as I’m writing my review for Amar. For a first time home buyer and someone that worries about things even when there is nothing to worry about, my mind was always at ease working with Amar. Any questions I had were answered in a matter of minutes. I got my dream home in just one month's time after I started working with Amar. Honestly, in the One month working with Amar to find the perfect place for me I never waited any longer than 5 minutes for a response to an email or a phone call, it’s bizarre really! No where do you find that level of clients service these days. You literally feel like you are the only person he is working with to help find a home. If you use Amar and his team you will not be disappointed, actually, you will likely feel more at ease knowing that he is working for you. The whole team has a level of professionalism that is unparalleled. Amar’s logo E = MC² is a true representation of Amar's service.

In our collaboration process by going beyond call of duty Amar saved us over 14K PLUS 9K below List price instead of over bidding.

Kishore Mokada Principal Engineer at Nimble Storage 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 July 27, 2011, Kishore was Amar Realtor's client

Srinivas Mikkilineni -- INITIAL MEETING-PRE APPROVAL: I am very excited and happy to share my home buying experience with Amar and his team who saved us $38K and helped us get our home in 23 days from start to finish. We came to know about Amar in a casual conversion at a park from a friend who recently closed his home through Amar. I gave a call to Amar around Noon on a bright sunny Wednesday, he promptly answered the call and obliged to meet the same evening on a short notice. The first meeting lasted for 30 minutes, and I explained him my requirement and he graciously listened my needs. In the first meeting itself I could sense there is something special in this man and got a feeling that I can completely trust Amar. He started work immediately and referred me to Loan Officer (LO) in order to get the Pre-Approval. My financial situation was little tricky and the first LO could not offer me with any loan program. Without wasting time Amar immediately referred me to a second LO and we could secure the pre-approval. FINDING HOME: We started receiving the listings from Amar as we knew approximately how much we qualify. On our first weekend looking for home with Amar, I have visited 5 homes and liked one home which is close to my child’s school. The seller agent put the offer deadline as Wednesday which is quite normal and as expected. Amar started putting together the offer right away and started his MAGIC “Negotiations” with the seller agent. Since I had completely TRUSTED Amar I did not even discuss with Amar about the final offer price and to everybody’s surprise he was able to get our offer accepted by TUESDAY night 8:00 PM (one day before the offer deadline) and 30K less than the list price. Like the icing on the cake to top it off he negotiated with seller to pay 8K towards the closing cost, in all Amar could save me 38K. LOAN PROCESS: Amar’s did not stop there and he started following up with the LO for the next 2 weeks. As I mentioned earlier that Amar has a very capable team, which I was able to experience by the services offered by the LO. The LO is a very nice lady, she went out of way to work two weekends back to back to meet the offer close date of 16 days. OVERALL EXPERIENCE: I am very much honored and blessed to meet and work with Able, Efficient, Sincere and Hardworking team of Amar & Sri to secure my home. I didn’t even take a single day of time off from work during this process; every step in the buying process was meticulously planned by Amar and his associates. I was getting full attention and prompt responses and his team were guiding and pre-empting me of any challenges at every step. Amar’s believes in “Your Servant with Gratitude” and “Clients for Life” is proved one more time. It was a seamless and stress less process because of Amar’s experience and I got a feeling of “BIG BROTHER” holding and guiding me. February 3, 2016, Srinivas was Amar Realtor's client

Purva Jain Senior Software Engineer MDM/DW/BI 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 every thing 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! December 6, 2014, Purva was Amar Realtor's client

Mahesh Machineni Principal Engineer at Cisco In my opinion, Amar is the best real estate agent in Bay Area. When we started looking to buy a home, Amar was very instrumental in deciding the area. He has good knowledge of the good residential areas around Bay Area. He is very friendly, understands our needs carefully. We are very particular about the direction and vasthu of the home. Amar was always available to see every house and provide his honest opinion about each home. Because of his vast experience and deep interest in real estate, Amar is able to provide the best feedback; he is very patient and gives great attention to buyer’s needs. Amar treats it as buying his own home. Amar documents each home we considered; which greatly helped us in making final decision. When we finally decided to make an offer, Amar presented the offer in a very unique and most effective way (Amar’s patented style of presenting an offer) to win the offer in multiple offer situation (over 20 offers). He not only won the offer even though it was not the highest offer, also saved us very good amount of money in the whole process. Most importantly, there was more competing offer to seller from listing agent’s office. With Amar’s unique approach and proven strategy, we were able to win our offer in virtually impossible situation. I have personally experienced Amar’s spellbinding offer presentation and creativity with sellers and listing agent. In today’s’ market, Amar makes a BIG difference in winning deals with clients interest in heart. Amar followed up with the seller agent very proactively in a professional way. He has best network of Loan Agents and Escrow Agents, hence we were able to close the escrow in record time. The loan Agent Yogesh has always been available, very responsive and got me the best possible rate due to Amar’s relationship and closed the loan in a very short period of time. Amar also has the best network of home improvement contractors, plumbers, pet control contractors. Amar communicates each Key Mile Stones (KMS) in home buying process steps in detail. The entire home buying process from acceptance of the offer to closing of escrow is very pleasant and smooth and exceeded all my expectations. Thank you very much Amar. I highly recommend Amar as a Real Estate agent for right guidance (extremely critical), peace of mind transaction (very important), and value proposition (tangible results).

Khyati Kapoor Associate Specialist at UCSF Thanks a lot Amar and Sri for getting us our first home and that too in the Bay Area! We had been in the market for sometime and had worked with quite a few real estate agents but to no avail since we had a limited budget. It was getting frustrating when we were introduced to Amar and his team by a friend. We had given up hope that we would never be able to own a home in such cut-throat market. From the day we were introduced to Amar and his team, it just took us 10 days to get our offer accepted. It was totally unbelievable! It was our first bid in the competitive Mountain View area. Amar and Sri aggressively negotiated it and left no stone unturned to win us this offer and within our affordability. When Sri called us to inform us that we had won the bid, we had to pinch ourselves to actually believe it. All this was possible only because it was Amar who was representing us. We are pretty sure that no other real estate agent could have won us a deal within our constraints. The tremendous effort and confidence with which Amar and Sri drafted out an offer for us and were on top of it all throughout the process from getting it accepted and further until we got the keys, is commendable. Both of them were personally involved in the entire process and that puts Amar and his team in a different league from other real-estate agents. Amar's excellent understanding of the real estate market and his reputation in this industry, all point to the fact that he is an experienced and a thorough professional. We would whole-heartedly recommend Amar and his team as one-stop-shop for anyone's real-estate needs. December 8, 2015, Khyati was Amar Realtor's client

He helped us with financing and also negotiated discounts for closing costs for us. Amar is someone who is diligent, savvy, and trustworthy and this is such rare combination to find in any Realtor in bay area.

Sarabjeet Singh Director of Engineering at Fiserv/Cashedge Amar is an excellent buyer’s agent who treats the whole process as if he is buying the house for himself. He gives sincere advice and listens to the buyer's concerns and addresses them. He has great network of professional who he engages in the process at the right time - mortgage agent, inspectors, builder, etc. Amar and his team of professionals work hard to meet the deadlines and to execute to the agreed upon plan. Amar did some amazing work for us in the offer presentation and review process. There were multiple buyers bidding for the house and our offer was the lowest. Seller's agent was putting lot of pressure on Amar to increase our offer to get a bidding war started. Amar read the seller's agent's situation correctly and did not give in to the pressure. We had almost given up hopes but Amar gave us a surprise by announcing that our offer was accepted. This could not have happened without Amar's honed planning and negotiation skills. Once the offer was accepted, Amar took care of inspections, loan, and all the paperwork. He made it very easy for us. His negotiation skills and standing in the industry saved us lot of money in not just the house price but also in other areas as well. Many agents just disappear after the escrow is closed. Amar has been there to help us in many things even after the escrow closed. His unwavering dedication to buyer's needs is what sets him apart from other agents. Thanks Amar!!

Pawan Singal Principal Engineer at Dell (Force 10 Networks) One word to describe Amar is amazing. We were a first time homebuyers and contacted Amar via one of web portal at around 8:00pm on Sunday evening. To our surprise he was at our door at 8:45pm that on Sunday evening. This moved us and we decided to go with him. We made a offer in 2nd week of relationship and surprise again, we got it, competing against 19 other offers. There were few hicups with appraisal as we got it lower than the bid value. Amar was on top of all these, for him, minor blocks and made sure the deal is done in 21 days. Even though we closed our first home around a year back, he is always in touch and makes effort in his capacity to resolve any problem even after year of closing the deal.

You went out of your way to get us this Home, shows that rather than being in it for the money, you were more interested in our well being, rather than making your own profit – we are eternally grateful to you. Thanks to you, we have moved from a rented accommodation, where the rent kept going higher and higher, to our own dream Home. We absolutely love the Home you made a reality for us, in the beautiful city of Dublin, in a very good school district, with a lot of like minded neighbours, family and friends living around us! Amar negotiated from the Builder and lender over 29K [Upgrades: 10K, Price: 8K, Loan closing: 7K, Appliances: 4K] by going above and beyond and guidance throughout the Home buying process is priceless. I can only stress Amar’s passion, negotiations, and guidance to help clients is hard to match by Realtors.

I remember when we first spoke over the phone giving me the tips and tools to find a desired house. I was totally inclined that you are one who can get me the desired house. The very good thing that I liked about you is you help people without expecting anything from them. This is pure and unconditional service. I wanted to write a story about my home buying experience. Trust me, for me it was a dream-come-true. All my friends and relatives were shocked as within 1 month of my house hunt I got a dream house which I wanted. This happened only because of your Midas-touch. I have seen realtors placing an offer for the house knowing that there will not get it; this is like shooting arrows in thin air. You were not like that, the way I have seen. It was a perfect project executing giving you 110% hard work. I still remember your email early morning at 5:30 AM enquiring about the hazard insurance, flood coverage and suggesting me the option available. For me this is what is called as pure unconditional service. The way I see, I think for me you are a magician with lots of confidence and you bring all the team together and execute a plan with sure shot accuracy. I have not seen any realtor working with the loan officer while placing an offer. Finally I recommend your name to all my friends and family members for your excellent work.

The best thing about Amar is that he is highly responsive and you can reach him almost anytime.

Sunil Gutlapalli A10 Networks We were looking for home in bay area for about a year and we almost gave up and finally we were introduced to Amar through our friends. When we first met Amar, he first listened to all our requirements and provided inputs/suggestions which put us on right track. Amar came with us to see multiple houses and answered all our questions. He always discussed about pros and cons of each house, tried to understand what we wanted and provided honest feedback. Amar wrote offer for our current home, he presented our offer in such a way that our offer was accepted even though there is a higher offer. When we found some termite issues in home inspection, Amar gave us honest opinion to cancel the offer. Surprisingly after a week seller contacted Amar and wanted to renegotiate the offer and fix the termite issue. When I talked to seller he said “You are getting the offer because of Amar, he is the Best Real Estate Agent I have ever seen” (Seller himself is a Real Estate Agent). I was little nervous initially and Amar said relax, I will take care of everything. Amar did take care of everything in the whole process. Amar negotiated with seller and added additional items and saved us lot of money. He made our home buying experience memorable. Amar helped us in each and every stage from pre-approval to Escrow closing. He helped us with last minute appraisal glitch and made his team to rush to close escrow as per plan. Amar even suggested us best option for us in holding of the title, where agents generally don’t care.

He has an amazing team of people working in collaboration be it the best loan agent/insurance agent, and many others. He guided us through the whole process right from pre-approval and was very involved all the way to the closing. He made our home buying experience a breeze. Amar is absolutely passionate about his work and made every sincere effort to get us the best deal possible. He treats each deal as his own and gives it the best shot. A lot of hard work goes in the background which we sometimes are not even aware. Amar makes amazing presentation to the seller covering all aspects. I attended one and I was very impressed. If I am the seller, I would definitely give the buyer a chance just for presentation. The deal just does not stop with the bid. Even for fixing the rate and the closing cost he got us a huge discount which we never even anticipated. At a personal level also he is a very nice person, very patient, very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable in many areas. Amar went above and beyond our expectation.

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.

Pradip Kar Software Developer at Xilinx Inc One fine day, Amar showed us a house in our preferred zip code. The moment we saw the house, we really liked it and desperately wanted it as it was meeting all my specifications and requirements. However, in the next moment, I realized that I am not the only buyer in this market. The house we liked is also liked by many buyers as it is a nice house. All the buyers have to go through the next stressful step which is bidding process. I want to share how amazing is Amar as a Realtor who was able to close the deal within a record time and without entering to the bidding war. In our neighborhood, the single family houses usually sold for at least 100K more than the offered price. Therefore, I came up with my offer price which is 66K more than the list price. However, Amar gave us the pleasant surprise just after 3 days by getting the deal for me just 20K above the list price without entering to the bidding process and before offer deadline. Bank appraised 70K over the list price. Amar able to win the deal 50K less than the Bank appraisal value. It’s THE BEST deal in this market. In my opinion, any other Realtor present my offer price and ask more to get the house but Amar clearly demonstrated in actions clients best interest well above and beyond. As results of his actions, unique approach with listing agent, and proven strategy saved us 46K. Amar was more interested in well-being of my family rather than making his own profit and benefit. In each and every step, he saved my money as if he is buying the home for himself. Once our offer was accepted, Amar gave us guidance throughout Home BUYING PROCESS. It’s great experience. Thank you so much Amar for all your hard work and dedication throughout the process and we are extremely happy with your service. We moved to our dream house and “Thanking You” every day while getting settled in our new house. September 29, 2013, Pradip was Amar Realtor's client

Parikshit Nigam Staff Engineer at Broadcom One of my friend referred Amar & Sri to us and I’m so thankful for that. They helped us in getting our new home and we were so fortunate that they were there to guide and help us on every steps. They helped me in taking the right decisions in each and every step of the home buying process. We got our dream house with Amar's & Sri's help. It is great house and our family loves it. This was all possible because of Amar's and Sri's hardwork. We got the best deal by all possible means. We paid less than the seller’s asking price. They saved us almost $15K through price negotiation and recovery from seller towards closing. They made sure that the property was good and would become an asset to family. They were involved in all the areas right from preapproval, looking at the houses, arranging for disclosures, making an offer, escrow and closing. Because of their personal contacts with lending agents, we even got the best rate for mortgage. He made sure that for 1st time home buyers the process is simple and hassle free. Amar’s and Sri's time management, planning and making the right decision at right time is highly commendable. His knowledge/analysis to find pros and cons for any given house and providing true insight about the house makes them a unique realtor. Their perfect execution made sure that we got the house we wanted at our price. After the offer was accepted he stayed on top of things to make sure that we didn't have issues till closing. It was their diligence, smart strategy, flawless execution & commitment that got us the house. We thank you for your hard work. I would highly recommend Sri & Amar for anyone buying/selling home.

yerram swathi assistant professor at svit Amar Amarnath is an excellent agent and has immense knowledge and experience in the real estate. He is one of the top 5 agents of Keller Williams Realty (Over 100,000 agents) which speaks volumes about the service you can expect from him. Amar understands what it takes in getting the client their dream home by working according to clients requirements, tastes and preferences. He is not just a great agent but a good human being with strong ethical values. Amar has a special knack of presenting the offer in the best possible way and goes an extra mile to get the offer picked up through various methods using his PR skills which I don't think any other agent does. This I say is the most important factor which makes things happen for you even in the Sellers' market. He is very prompt in responding to the calls/emails and is accessible even during the off hours if need be. We personally have talked to him many times after 9 PM as there was a need to discuss some important things before presenting the offer. Amar does a comprehensive study of the houses in the neighborhood sold in the past 3 months and does a thorough comparisons to evaluate the offer price for the home and thus does 'not overprice the home than it is valuation. He emails you the reports and the comparative study of the homes sold so that we also know prevailing market rates which helps you to decide the actual market value of the home and the price to offer. My recommendation to all the home buyers out there is that you will be lucky if Amar agrees to represent you. Trust him completely, relax and enjoy the ride that will be a GREAT home buying experience.Most importantly, the way Amar handled the whole buying process by going above and beyond is one of the greatest memory forever.He was always honest and gave great advice,We got our dream home within a short span of time with the help of AMAR. We can describe our experience with Amar in single word “Superb!” Amar’s logo E = MC² is a true representation of his service. Right House+Right Price+Right Time= AMAR.

Venkatesh Seetharam Principal SI/EMI Engineer at Avago Technologies We started our home search in March 2013. We worked with 3 different realtors and submitted offers to at least 10 houses with no luck. Disheartened with the market and the incompetence of our realtors we totally gave up home search. In August 2014 when one of our dear friends narrated the story of their home buying we were thrilled to hear that such realtors do actually exist. He recommended Amar strongly and said if we were to buy a house, Amar must be our realtor. Coming from our friend who had a great recent experience with home-buying, we approached Amar in March 2015 when we restarted our home search. We were to realize how true our friend’s words were when we bought our home. We truly believe that we would not have bought our home, if Amar was not our realtor. From the very first conversation, we realized that Amar was a different realtor than the ones we had worked with. His knowledge of the market and his approach to home buying was different. There was couple of houses that we were interested in and Amar rightly pointed out that those were not right for us. At that moment, we were certain that we were working with the right realtor. When we wrote the offer for our home, we knew that we would not be the highest bidder. Amar knew that as well but worked his magic to win the home for us. Amar was such a difference maker: he clearly understood the dynamics of the deal and changed it to a scenario where if the sellers were to accept any offer, it would be ours. We still cannot believe that Amar was able to do this in Fremont where multiple offers are the norm for every listed house. Amar’s acumen of what clinches a deal is exceptional and was one of the main reasons that helped us get the home of our dreams. The fact that we got a highly desired home in an extremely competitive market (in Fremont) in spite of not being the highest bidder goes to show Amar’s competence. Amar’s contribution to our home buying did not stop after the offer was accepted. He worked with the lender and escrow agents and made sure that the escrow closed on time. Amar went over and beyond his role as a realtor and advised us very skillfully all along and helped us make the right decision at each stage. Amar has certainly become our realtor for our lifetime.

Suresh Koti Release Engineering Manager at PayPal It’s truly amazing and could not believe that we own a house now. We would say without Amar this could have happen at all. As a first time home buyer, we have zero knowledge in terms of house purchase. Amar made it so easy for us. Before we know what the next step and process is, the keys are in my hand. It is with his encouragement and moral support that we have decided to buy a house. The help Amar extended was more of the brotherhood rather than the professional help. The way Amar ensured and negotiated this whole deal right from submitting the offer to get the offer accepted, we have no words to express. To win a deal and compete against multiple higher offers is not easy, especially with 7K lower counter offer price. But persistent negotiation and great communication prevailed. This is true professional skills of Amar. Amar is great subject matter expert in Real Estate. The way Amar took the efforts to go and meet the lender making sure the loan is approved and funds released in time not only that making sure we get the maximum credit is awesome. Amar saved us over $18K in home buying process in competitive market. Amar’s guidance and support is priceless. I could definitely say not everyone will be going above and beyond exceptional service PLUS saving LOT of money for the home buyer. I really understand how much Amar fought for this home and time he spent on this (more than his personal property). The stress Amar took and asking us not to take any stress is something only a person with good heart can say it. I am really happy that I could able to meet a person like him in my life.

Karthikeyan Subramanian Programmer analyst at ZL Technologies Inc. Being first time home buyers with very little clue about the dynamics of the market and the various steps involved, it was imperative that we work with a knowledgeable real estate professional who could provide an honest and objective view of the market and also guide us in a professional manner through the various stages.We found all this and much more with Amar and his team. Right from day one, he took time to understand what we were looking for and listened patiently to everything we had to say. Once we found a property that we liked, Amar and his team went into overdrive and put together a comprehensive offer within our specified budget . Since it was a very competitive bid with 30+ offers and we were nowhere near the higher offer prices, we normally would have been hesitant to even make the offer. But Amar's strategy was spelt out so clearly to us that we trusted him completely and his words proved right when our offer was indeed accepted over multiple higher ones. This happened because of Amar's proactive interaction with sellers as well as involvement of the rest of Amar's extended team including the lenders. Both Amar and Sri always communicated with us about any updates and kept us in the loop throughout Not only did Amar recover a significant amount from the seller towards closing but he also proactively negotiated a huge price drop post contract! This was without us even asking him to try it.That was the icing on the cake. At the end of the day what worked for us was Amar and Sri's relentless drive and energy as they moved the process along with minimal stress to us. If it weren't for that my family would not be relaxing in our new home today. I'd recommend Amar, Sri and team in a jiffy. Nobody knows the bay area market as well as them. Thank you team!

Asheesh Asthana Senior Product Manager We were a first-home-buyers– not very aware of the “good value” home areas. Home Search : Your approach was very meticulous and time efficient. You first wanted to know our choices. This was done by showing few “different” configurations one evening ( 5 different houses). This was the first very important steps to align what we wanted and what to expect within our budgets. I was really impressed by the fact that it was not just a discussion on a phone – but actually visiting house much before the scheduled OpenHouse. Your experience about what to look in a house was also very critical – tells us how passionate you are about homes, well you understand this industry and your keen eye on details. Within a week we liked a place and called you – from that point on-wards you were on the top of it. You has your own ways to do an independent evaluation of the home that we like. Putting an offer : This is one area where no one can beat you – you are the best, leaving no stone un-turned. All throughout the process we got a feeling that “You are our man”. You very diligent, calculative and realistic about how to go about making an offer that would secure us the deal. Always kept us informed. Most importantly, as a first time buyers, we were very anxious – but all this time you were very confident that we will get it –You had created a complete offer. Winning the offer: It was unbelievable to us that we won the offer. You were always confident that we will make it as we had a very nice complete offer. We were able to get the offer, despite the fact there where many better offers.. Facts speak for themselves, if we look at the amount we put in the offer and the Appraiser’s report – we have just paid One Dollar extra. Closing the offer: Amar, you are not yet another agent – You are a leader of a fantastic Team. Your execution is flawless. You can move things fast, you can make things happen. We were on the edge , but you were the soothing figure – always confident that we will meet all the terms and conditions of the offer. Your Loan Officers, your insurance agents, your back office people – all were phenomenal. They have worked long late hour on weekday and weekdays – that tells how much dedicated this team is to work for their customers. Hats Off to this team –an example I would love to quote at my work place. Final Move : The final move has been smooth as ever. We got access to the home 24 hours in advance. This was very helpful in our move. You are always accessible if we need any help. Overall, I would call Amar and his team – Great understanding of the real estate market and industry. Very Intelligent Sale pitch – the seller cannot deny his offer. Awesome execution – a very professional & hardworking team. November 4, 2015, Asheesh was Amar Realtor's client

Asif Islam Software Engineer at Google We’re first time home buyer, and Amar & Sri made the whole process very smooth for us. I've heard from my friends that they had to bid many times before wining their dream house. When we first visited the house, we were not very sure whether we’ll be able to get it as it was our first time bidding. To our surprise, we won the bid and not only that, he made the best deal and saved us around 20K from the highest offer. With his proven strategies, negotiation skills, and high reputation, he made it possible to win the deal in less than the higher offer in multiple offers situation. As a first time home buyer, we didn’t know a lot of the details, and were a bit nervous about buying a property in this market. He helped us making an informed decision. Amar provided guidance and collaboration throughout the entire home buying process. He was involved in all areas: appraisal, loan, escrow and closing. The whole process went very smoothly and now we’re the proud owner of a house in 3 weeks. Amar & Sri, we’re grateful to have you as our Realtors.

Amit Kotwal Senior Software Engineer at Google Amar is an outstanding agent with a truly professional, efficient and, above all, caring team. I think Amar's approach is unique because he brings an entire package and team to the task, including mortgage and insurance. Amar was involved in every stage, from negotiating with the seller's agent, working with the lender, to closing the deal. He got us a great price, a good discount from the lender, and brought us to close of escrow in just 19 days. With our short escrow, we were panicking whenever we had any hiccups in the process. Amar calmly guided us through the process and soothed our panic. He also patiently answered all our many questions and continuously ensured that we had all the information we needed.

Sanjeev Tanugula Senior Director of Engineering at SEPHORA Buying a home; that quintessential American dream! That dream became a reality for us, thanks to Amar and his perseverance and hustle. As everybody knows/realizes buying a home is a difficult process; buying a home in bay area is even more of a gargantuan task. We started on our journey of finding our dream home a year ago and quickly realized that the term “dream home” is a relative term. Out of the 3 to 4 key drivers that guide your selection process i.e. cost, location, schools and size/type, you do have to compromise on one or more elements to find your home. When we first met Amar garu, being first time home buyers in US, we were all over the place. He helped us wade through those waters and arrive at a combination that led us to shortlist a few good homes. Once we shortlisted the homes we would like to pursue, what followed was purely his magic or as we say in sport talk, “Hustle” to make it happen. He would simply ask us if we are 100% into placing an offer for a home and if we are in, he would move heaven and earth to make it happen. I don’t know how many couples in bay area can claim this, but our success rate is 100% i.e. we made only offer and got that home. Once we saw the home we loved it. However it was listed at a price beyond my pre-approval limit. Once Amar garu realized that this home checked all our requirements - great location, single family with a nice backyard and decent schools he went about setting us up with different financing options to get me past the pre-approval hurdle. In this hot bay area housing market, he managed to get us the home for almost $100k less than a competing buyer. Throughout the process, Amar was not just our real estate agent but also an advisor, friend and a guide, who had our best interests at heart. Thanks to his fantastic relationship management skills, the post-offer-acceptance phase was smooth and issue-free. In Amar, we not only found a great real estate agent, but a good friend and advisor, who works tirelessly to find you the right property, a place that you will call HOME. Thanks Amar garu!! In summary: “For a first time home buyer like us, Amar garu was god sent. His great knowledge of the market, combined with his persistence and hard work to find the right fit for you, can be a great help in that exciting roller coaster ride. Most important thing that stands out with Amar garu is if you like a home and ask him to make it happen, he will go work on it tirelessly and doesn’t rest until it is done. Even when faced with obstacles in the loan process he will go find alternatives and line them up quickly so that you do not loose the house that you want to call “HOME”.

Sindhu Tatimatla Senior Manager, Acquisition Marketing Analytics at Symantec I am sitting down to review our home buying experience with Amar and I am completely at a loss for words. I do not know where to begin. I could just say Amar is THE BEST REALTOR you will ever find and rest my case there. However, here is my feeble attempt at the review, as I already know that words cannot do justice. My husband and I started looking for homes with Amar in July 2012, when the real estate market was extremely competitive. The inventory was low and the good homes were going for $30K - $100K over the asking price. It was tough enough to find a home you liked, forget finding the very good school district you were looking for and forget finding a seller who would accept the modest offer you wanted to make. It was in this environment, that too in less than two months that Amar closed on our IDEAL home. He won the property before the offer deadline at $35K below the amount we had authorized him to quote in the offer. In addition, Amar negotiated over $8K towards closing costs from the seller and the lender. He basically hit our deal way out of the park for a HUGE home run!. “How did he do it?” I have wondered. While I am still figuring out all the specifics of his magic, I believe it was a mix of extreme diligence, highly intelligent strategy, flawless execution, commitment, and the good luck that only smiles on people who are great human beings. Amar was personally involved in every step of our home purchase process – right from getting our preapproval to visiting all the potential homes with us to engaging with our lender and closing escrow. Amar saved my husband and me from buying homes that would have been an less than optimal investment. He gave every home we “liked” thorough consideration and worked way past midnight for us on many occasions. It was only after thorough research that he advised us one way or another. Amar has stringent standards on the homes he will purchase for his clients as he has their best interest in mind at all times. My recommendation to all the home buyers out there is that you will be lucky if Amar agrees to represent you. Trust him completely, relax and enjoy the ride that will be a GREAT home buying experience. October 4, 2012, Sindhu was Amar Realtor's client

Tushar Mahale Member of Technical Staff at ThoughtSpot Let me start by saying this - there cannot be a better Realtor than Amar. Period. When we decided to buy our first home, we started looking for a realtor who could guide us in the right direction and help us make our dream a reality. Amar had very good and a lot of positive reviews, so we decided to contact him. And that sure was the best decision we took. Sri is a gem of a person. She was very proactive and always informed us about any good listings whenever they came up. She’d always try to understand our changing requirements focusing even on finer details, to ensure that she’s able to find the perfect fit for us. We could ask any question to her and she’d always answer all our questions patiently and in detail, no matter how small/silly they seem. Being a first time home buyer, this helped us a lot in narrowing down our exact requirements and take into accounts aspects that we had never thought of. I think this is very critical especially for a first time home buyer. One of the best qualities of Amar and Sri is they are not pushy. I still remember the discussion I had when I informed them that we wanted to back out of a contract. They were amazingly supportive and never ever tried to convince us to continue with the contract or to reconsider our decision. That is I think one of the most important quality every realtor should have and I am very glad I was working with people who are masters at such things. They patiently understood our concerns. The call was over in a few minutes and we were out of contract smoothly. Even after losing the deal and the time they had spent on the contract, there was not a single ounce of drop in the enthusiasm Amar and Sri showed showing/suggesting next properties. That is how professional they are. And then there was the home that we had been waiting for all these months. We hadn’t even bothered to go to the open house because it was way above our budget. But one fine evening we got a call from Sri and informed that Amar wanted us to have a look at the house. We got ready in half an hour and were on our way to the house. When we first saw the house, we couldn’t believe we could afford it and were even thinking that this could be a waste of time. But Amar suggested us to make an offer and we decided to give it a try. And it was not in vain. Out of his amazing arsenal of realtor skills, Amar unleashed his all mighty negotiation powers and brokered a deal that I still sometimes have to ask myself if is indeed a reality or not. We purchased the house at 63K less than the listing price in the hot market of Milpitas with good schools. Amar and Sri were involved in every step of the process, kept all the parties involved on the same page. Amar has teamed up with professionals who are BEST in their business and they guided us smoothly throughout the entire process which otherwise could be overwhelming for the first time buyers.

Roshan Shaik Engineering Leader, Software Architect and Developer It is with great pleasure that we write to recommend the services of Amar Amarnath Realtor extraordinaire. We were looking for an investment property with positive cash flow, in a great school area, and under the market price. Amar is simply THE BEST. A true commitment for lifetime is what you get from Amar. He truly is a one-stop Realtor for buyer or seller or for short sale. He made the process very easy and painless for us. He listened to what we wanted and did not pressure us to look beyond the parameters we set. He showed us 40 possible houses and was very patient with us throughout our search over a period of 10 months. Amar’s experience in short sale process is superior to none, and negotiated a great price for us. The entire process, from the day we started to look, signed a contract with him to be our Realtor to the day we closed on our house was a period of 10 months. No Realtor will work and provide an excellent service over few weeks and doing this over such a long time speaks volumes about Amar’s commitment towards his clients. He is very kind and great with our toddlers during the whole process. Amar recommended the very best in the field to aid us, from mortgage guy to house inspector to home insurance and saved lot of money in the process. His advice and guidance through this process was invaluable. His attention to detail, knowledge of the field and no-pressure approach were greatly appreciated. We can't imagine going through this process with anyone but him. Anybody that buys or sells property in Bay Area and does not use Amar will surely have a less than optimal experience.

Sathish Kumar Software Engineer QA at Cisco Systems This was our First Home Buying Experience. Initially, We are not sure where/How to start. We came to know about Amar through the Zillow and were looking and reading about his reviews on his website and decided go with Amar (This was our First Realtor too). Later, We mailed him about for enquiring about a property/pre-approval process. He responded back the next day morning and clearly explained about the home buying process. After getting our pre-approval process done, Amar came to our house for explaining/clarifying our doubts/questions/house requirements we had in mind. In the process of searching our houses, Amar and Team had helped us on whenever needed day/night to view the property at our own convenience. Once we liked the property, Amar started the signed procedures as promptly and followed up the Seller’s realtor on negotiating the deals and offer. He is very good in following up with the lenders about the Buyer’s Loaning info/other information. After signing the offer, and our offer got selected inspite of other High Bid Offers. Amars Team Followed up daily with the lender in getting the Loan Approval/status of the loan at every step on time without any delays. He was working with the Escrow Officer in getting documents signed to close the purchase agreement on time. Overall it was very Excellent experience for us working with Amar and his Team for their Dedication on Home Buying Experience Completlng the Entire Process Smoothly with the Winning Strategy.

Buying a home is not like buying a car, where you go to showroom, select the model, negotiate the rate and drive home. Home buying is much more complicated and laborous, however, you made it so easy that it was like buying a car. Here are some of the points, I would like to highlight: In our first converstation over email, you introduced me to loan officer. That itself was a big milestone towards home buying. Your help there was really great. Sri understood our home requirements. She asked all right questions to find best matches and she did it. All of the properties she shared with us were meeting our expectation. Within 2 weeks (unbelievable), we were able to find our dream home. I have heard people spent months and months to find the right home. Once we finalized on the property, you were really fast in preparing an offer, which sellers could not resist with your exceptional negotiation skills. The offer was accepted even before due date. You helped in getting it closed within 2 weeks smoothly, which is awesome. Because of both of you, now we are proud owners of a great property. Thanks again and wishing you best of luck. Keep doing good things and help people find their dream home. Best Regards, Bhuplesh & Shilpa May 11, 2015, Bhuplesh was Amar Realtor's client

Aravindh Baktha Director of Architecture at NVIDIA I was relocating to Bay Area from Oregon and employed the services of Amar to buy a house in the Bay Area. I had about a month time to relocate to the Bay Area and didn't have high expectations of buying a home in this short period of time. I worked with Amar remotely to short list homes we were interested in and then visited the Bay Area over a weekend to tour homes. Amar did a great job coordinating the tour and showing us houses in all the neighborhoods of interest. Amar sought to understand our needs and made sure we only saw houses that met our constraints. He gave us his assessment of the homes we saw but never pressured us in to making an offer. When we were ready to make an offer he made sure we truly satisfied before he wrote up the offer. During this process Amar was more like a friend to us than a real estate agent. Amar has a unconventional yet effective negotiating style. He his determined to get his client the best deal in all aspects on the home buying transaction. From negotiating the purchase price to getting the best deal in lending and closing costs and in working with the seller to complete issues identified during inspection, Amar's commitment was unquestionable. Amar was engaged is all aspects of the buying process and ensured and that everything went smoothly through closing and beyond. Amar would follow up well after we'd moved in to our house to make sure things were going well. Again, Amar was more like a friend than a real estate agent. Amar efficient handling of all aspects of the home buying process made it possible for me to buy a house in the Bay Area in less than a month. This was way beyond my expectation. I'd strongly recommend Amar's services to anyone looking to buying a home in the Bay Area. January 5, 2014, Aravindh was Amar Realtor's client

shashikant kale Intel Corporation Amar is a best asset to prospective home-buyers. Buying a house is really a complex process for first time buyer, as we are not aware of whole house buying process. But luckily we are having Amar (best in market) in our side and made this buying a House experience a very easy task. Amar handled the entire situation in timely manner without stressing us out. His way of working is highly excellent and remarkable. Amar has lots of experience in real estate and he has years of IT experience which made him unique for understanding our requirement and execute the plan to fulfill all the requirements beyond our expectation. Amar has unique quality to foresight all the challenges and try to find out possible work around by making right decision at right time. With his excellent Negotiation skill, He managed to win the bid 4% less than other 3 counter-offers. Amar saved me $32000 in this whole process (Price negotiation, Recovery from Seller towards closing, home inspection, termite inspection, mortgage consultant).He personally handled all areas (Appraisal, Inspections, Loan, Escrow process) and made my buying process an easy task. Amar's time management, planning and making the right decision at right time is highly commendable. His knowledge/analysis to find pros and cons for any given house and providing true insight about the house makes him a unique realtor. Could not believe that it was just 3 weeks back when we started looking for a house and now we are a proud owner of one. The whole credit goes to Amar and his team. Finally, Amar has an excellent network of professionals working with him. He has Top notch loan agents, property inspectors and appraisers and as a great TEAM, they closed the deal successfully in the shortest possible time. (Less than 3 weeks) Amar,truly justify his motto E=MC2, excellence in service and meeting client goal, client for lifetime.

Sashi Kondareddy Technology Leader - Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) ecosystem We were first time home buyers – and very ignorant of the home buying process and all forms of negotiation. When we ‘started’ out to buy a home, we thought it might take a few months to get the home we wanted. And then we met Amar, through a referral. We met him at a coffee house on a Saturday. He set us up with the right people for financing and other logistics. We made an offer which was accepted the next Friday, closed in a little over 2 weeks and picked up the keys. The whole thing took less than 30 pleasant days instead of the 3-6 stressful months we thought it might take. The incredible speed and ease with which Amar and his team guided us through the process is amazing. They provided guidance throughout the entire home buying process: from finding our dream home, making and winning the offer, closing the deal, and post-close move-in guidance. He stayed on TOP of EVERY activity in the entire process to make sure our home buying process was as smooth as possible. His knowledge of the real estate industry and a keen eye for details is outstanding which was very helpful to us in several phases of our home buying process. And he went way above and beyond what I’d normally expect from an agent. Here are highlights of his outstanding service during various phases of our home buying process: Home Search: He took our overall preferences and requirements for a home at a short coffee shop meetup and showed our dream house in a few days. His expert knowledge of what to look for in a house was extremely confidence boosting and helped us make an informed decision. Making/Winning an offer: This was an area where we were ignorant and he is a master. His expert knowledge and clever strategies helped us win the deal in a multiple-offer situation in spite of higher offers from others. (Since we liked the home very much, and we knew there were other offers, I was thinking we needed make an offer at least 10K higher than the asking price; Amar, instead made an offer 10K less than the asking price and leveraged other factors in our favour to win the deal). Closing the offer: Amar was a lot more than an agent/realtor as we winded down towards the Close. He and his team were constantly and efficiently coordinating with the loan officers, insurance agents and the seller’s agents and was giving us daily status updates with the task in progress and the pending tasks. (And whenever we had a doubt, even during off-hours or weekends, we would shoot off an email, thinking we will get a reply the next weekday morning; Instead we always got replies soon after our requests.) As I said earlier, he went way above and beyond what I’d normally expect from a real estate agent. In addition to getting our house at 10K less than the asking price, he saved us close to 10K in closing costs by passing on the costs to the seller/lender.

Naveen Bachkethi Software QA Engineering Mgr & Automation Architect at Intel I started my home search around 9 months ago and today after a long struggle and putting around 10 offers finally I own a house. This journey could have been much smoother and fun if I would have met Amarrath at the starting of it. Nine months ago when I started the house search with my first agent (Not Amar), it looked like driving an uphill without any driving experience. Experience with my first agent was a nightmare, there was a very little information that my first agent would have about the properties that I would like to see, no grip or very little grip on the market, no team, just standalone. I put continuously 9 unsuccessful offers with him but never got any of them and things went beyond the limit when in a house we put 700K and the house was finally sold in 685K but we did not the house and the comments about my old agent from the listing agent was “where did you got this agent”, That point I understood the importance of real estate agent. It’s not the highest bid you put in market, it’s not highest credit score, but it is the strong real estate agent that gets you the deal, and with my experience I can tell that Amar is THE ONE, who can get you anything you like. My journey started with Amar after getting introduced through one of my friend and he told lot of good things about Amar, but with my experience with my previous agent was not that comfortable, so did not wanted to jump so did a lot of study on looking at Amar’s LinkedIn profile which was having lot of +ve reviews, so decided to go with him, today sitting in my new house, I feel very fortunate that I met Amar. The 1st offer that was put through AMAR was readily accepted and within 2 weeks AMAR closed the deal, it gave me an extreme piece of mind and a respect and a tremendous confidence for the man (AMAR) and his team. I referred one of my friends to AMAR and there also Amar proved that he is the best, there also his first offer was accepted. Amar has connections, respect in market and a team which will get you the house with best price. He has a team starting from loan officer to the closing escrow connections which makes your transaction flawless. I can say a lot about Amar’s capabilities but here is a list which tells how he helped me: 1. The Best deal negotiation by ALL possible means 2. Perfect execution of the process. 3. Winning property in hot market with right strategy. 4. Personally involved in ALL areas (Appraisal, Loan, Escrow process, and closing) 5. Co-ordination and engagement with WFC and Escrow to ensure loan closing 6. Collaboration in informed decision making 7. Entire process guidance throughout Home BUYING PROCESS. 8. Staying on TOP of EVERY activity in the entire process to make sure end goal is accomplished as smooth as possible. I strongly recommend Amar for any real estate needs.

Ajith Sagarwala Manager at Apple As first-time home buyers in the bay area, we were really not sure what to expect about the buying process, but Amar made it easy. Within few weeks of meeting him, we found a property that was perfect for us - a property that already had received multiple offers including cash offers. I wasn't sure we had a chance, but Amar told me not to worry. We talked through our strategy and he spent that night working up a winning offer he submitted the next morning. Amar is responsive, professional, caring, smart, and has forged great relationships in the industry. He went above and beyond the call of duty to help us. Amar has incredible knowledge of the local market and has an amazing ability to deal with agents from initial offer to closing. Even if the market was very competitive, he helped us make offers that were in our budget but still competitive. Our experience with Amar - while professional - was also very personal, we got to learn about Amar, his family and likewise he got to know us. Words CANNOT describe how superb Amar is - as a professional realtor that deliver top-notch world class service! He was almost always available & took great care in all the paperwork and negotiation and was a great advocate for us. I highly recommend calling Amar if you're looking for someone to help guide you through the process, address your concerns, and help you seal the deal in this very competitive housing market. I’d give Amar a Billion stars if it were Possible---I can't imagine buying this house without Amar. We had a beautiful experience buying our first home with him,.

Balakumar Rajendran Graphics Hardware Engineer at Intel Corporation Amar truly is an excellent Realtor, but more than that he is an excellent person to work with. Without him, we wouldn’t have been able to say that we are happy home owners now. Being first time home buyers and especially in a market like bay area, we were quite not sure how and where to get started. It is at that point we met Amar. Amar and his team from the beginning have been with us at each and every step. We began searching for houses and we told what we liked and what we didn’t and he was able to clearly understand our needs and show us the houses to our likes. Once we decided on the house we had to put the offer for it. This is where Amar’s expertise came into the picture. He negotiated so much with the seller agent back and forth in ways that I would have never imagined. His strategy worked brilliantly and win the offer. Amar didn’t just stop there. He went on to talk with the lender during the escrow process and he was able to get us so much credit that really helped us with paying ZERO closing costs. This was a BIG thing and once again without Amar this wouldn’t have been possible. He also talked with the seller agent and managed to get us as much credit as possible. In short, Amar is the BEST REALTOR in Bay area. I would strongly recommend Amar and his team to anyone who is looking to find their beautiful house. I can guarantee that he and his team will work tirelessly and proactively at each and every step of the process. January 27, 2015, Balakumar was Amar Realtor's client

Sridhar Narasimhan Senior Manager at Maxim Integrated I contacted Amar based on the positive reviews that I read online. In a competitive seller¹s market, it is very important to have an efficient realtor who can represent you well & can get the job done. Amar & team got on the job right away. He has a great team and I got pre-approved at lightning speed. Amar & Sri worked with us and counseled us on our house requirements, the factors to consider and the locations we should consider. With that help we identified our target homes that we wanted to place an offer on. Amar put together a very good offer package and we got accepted, though we were not the highest offer. Our first offer was accepted at $20K less than the highest offer. We witnessed entire Amar offer presentation with seller and listing agent. We didn¹t even get a chance to make an 2nd offer out to our second target. Amar was able to negotiate many small components of the house closing that added up to a BIG SUM over $7K. His team was also excellent and the financing portion etc. closed in a record time. His support team is robust to survive any hiccups during the entire process. What continues to impress me about Amar is that he stayed engaged in the whole Home buying process and closed the HOME for us in a RECORD TIME. I higly recommend Amar.

smitha idikuda Software Engineer at VYOMI Solutions We connected with Amar through a friend and some of our other church friends had provided very positive feedback. The commonality in all the feedback was that Amar was best at what he does, very reliable, and trustworthy. Our first meeting with Amar was mere exploratory but it turned out to be very valuable. Amar was knowledgeable about the real estate market and presented several data points that helped us with our decision making. We were relocating to East coast and decided to rent out our home after a short stint of putting the house for sale. We were convinced after first meeting that Amar was exceptional and would do the best. We requested him to takeover and initiate the process. Within two days, he setup open house, collected applications, analyzed the profiles and in a short order (less than a week) picked the best tenants. During this time, he provided a detailed plan on the next steps, kept us in loop on all the activities and made us his top priority. He is extremely good in filtering the right applicants. In summary, Amar is the best with creative thinking. Since then, Amar was always available for any questions and has been thoroughly professional. He has been in constant touch with the tenants to ensure a smooth and pleasant stay. We are very happy with Amar's exceptional real estate service and would highly recommend Amar to anyone else that is looking for an excellent real estate agent. We bet that Amar would exceed all expectations. -Prashanth & Smitha August 3, 2012, smitha was Amar Realtor's client

It was really pleasure working with you, Sri and your amazing team. In this competitive bidding war, I still can’t believe that getting offer accepted for the first home we worked together, that too around the list price. It was an amazing and incredible speed and ease with which we were taken through the process. I still remember that it just took 12 hours from the time Sri showed us the house till we write an offer which includes getting pre-qualification letter. I strongly believe that your aggressive negotiation skills, thorough knowledge and strategy in writing attractive offer helped us to get the house we want. I’m glad and thanks to my friend Krishna V who referred you. Once again thank you for being one stop shop for us and providing your valuable suggestions and guidance throughout the process.

Sri Gudavalli Database Analyst & App Engineer at Wells Fargo Now a day’s, many Listing agents to do double sides (both buyer and seller side) and don’t even submit higher offers because of their own vested interest in the transaction. It’s virtually impossible to do the justice and right representation when listing agent representing both seller and buyer. Lawyer representing both sides. It’s obviously compromise of ethics on buyer side or seller side or both sides. Think about it. I can’t imagine any other agent other than Amar for selling my home because of his highest standard of ethics and right guidance in actions and practice. Amar honestly represents the client’s best interest above all clearly shows in end results. Summary of my Home Selling experience with Amar: · Entire process guidance throughout Home SELLING PROCESS. · Extensive Marketing for maximum exposure. · The Best deal negotiation by ALL possible means. · Perfect execution to sell RECORD price of same Sq.ft Home in the neighborhood. · Personally involved in ALL areas (Listing preparation, Appraisal, Loan, Escrow process, and closing). · Co-ordination and engagement with Bank and Escrow to ensure loan closing on time and smoothly. · Staying on TOP of EVERY activity in the entire process to make sure end goal is accomplished as smooth as possible.

Subbarao Arumilli Principal Engineer at Cisco Systems Buying a home can be a long painful process or it can be a pleasant experience. It all depends on who your real estate agent is. We had a great home buying experience and we attribute that to Amar. We hired Amar as our agent in August 2011 and he never failed us. He collected our input and showed houses that suited our requirements. Amar gathered complete information on each house he showed and provided his honest input whether to go with or not. He never forced us to give a quick offer and always asked us to think twice, thrice before presenting an offer. Once we found the house that we like, Amar used his keen negotiation skills and got us the house at a lower price than many competing offers. During the entire closing process he is on his heels and been in constant contact with the sellers agent, loan agent and pushed all of them to get to the closing quickly and smoothly. Amar also have extensive contacts with loan agents, contractors and insurance agents and he used them effectively at every stage of our home buying process. With his negotiation tactics Amar saved quite a bit of time and money on various repair works we have done to our new house. I have never seen an agent who does so much extra service to make their clients home buying experience happy and comfortable. I am very happy to use his services again and recommend him highly to anyone. subbarao arumilli October 31, 2011, Subbarao was Amar Realtor's client

Rahul Varghese Principal UX Designer at Cognizant Technology Solutions “Wow! Don’t know how else to put it. Sri & Amar just nailed it. Myself & my wife were getting ready for a 1+ year house hunt process but Sri & Amar nailed it in less that a week - Wow. This is my first home and I knew its going to be difficult from day one as you’re not sure which is the right one for us espcecially with the kind of budget that you’ve. Believe me, Sri & Amar are just great with any type of budget. The best part of it is they become part of your family than just realtors. Coz what I’ve heard is most of the realtors just work like realtors but these guys work along with you as if they’re hunting for a house. Seriously not boasting off here coz my intention was to get a condo with whatever budget I’ve, but Sri & Amar wont just let you settle for that. like I told you they consider you as their family and think about our furture as well and make sure WE INVEST PROPERLY. They got me a single family home appraised at 750K got us for 685K with the budget I had. They wanted to make sure that I buy a home than just a condo for which the appreciation is much less. That’s when I realized these guys are not like any other realtors out there who are running around to make some extra bucks. I would seriously recommed Sri & Amar to everyone out there. Here are some of the key highlights which made this a seamless experience for a first time home buyer – 1. THE BEST DEAL by ALL possible means – paid much lesser than the listing price – yup! you read that correctly. I paid much lesser than the listing price as these guys know whats the right price for a particluar home. They wont let you fall into that crazy bidding process. 2. PERFECT EXECUTION of the process 3. Winning HOME with RIGHT STRATEGY 4. PERSONALLY involved in ALL areas ( Escrow process, closing & more) 5. CO-ORDINATION with Escrow to ensure closing 6. COLLABORATION in informed decision making 7. Entire PROCESS GUIDANCE throughout Home BUYING PROCESS 8. Staying on TOP of EVERY activity in the entire process to make sure end goal is accomplished as smooth as possible. So in less than a month I’m moving into my dream home tomorrow. I still cant believe this is happening. Once again thanks a lot Sri & Amar - Jean, Rahul & Ethan. July 24, 2016, Rahul was Amar Realtor's client
