When me and my wife decided to buy a home in one of the most aggressive and expensive markets in all of California, Amar was a godsend. Me and my wife decided to go with Amar after reading reviews online and met him at his office in Palo Alto where he explained to us the details of the home buying and ownership process.
The same day we were introduced through email to Amar’s wife Sri Amar who would be the first to approve of the house after considering various functional aspects like location, neighborhood, layout, natural light, configuration, desirability, functionality and usability before we decided collectively as a team to go ahead with making an offer. Both Amar and Sri Amar were on top of everything, from forward visionary thinking to listening and communicating. They knew the property worth that we were interested in purchasing and they made sure that everything in their power was done to make the buying process successful.
Amar was tactfully aggressive with being one of the first offers when we finally settled on the home that we ultimately bought, and was able to connect with the selling agent and negotiate the finer details, price, and manage the process. Throughout the process, he and his wife kept us in the loop and made sure that we knew every step as it happened. We are more than happy with the price we paid, and are already seeing similar properties in our neighborhood selling for more; a sure sign that Amar helped to negotiate a very aggressive deal on a very aggressive timeline.The process of buying a home in this highly competitive real estate market was very daunting to us, but it made a huge difference to have someone who was so decisive, perceptive and competent on our side.
I firmly believe that we wouldn’t have been possible without Amar’s aggressive and tactful handling of the offer dynamics. We feel relieved that the house we loved at first sight is finally truly ours.Print this entry

Amar was my seller’s agent for my Mountain View condo. I currently live in Texas, so this was a remote sale. Amar is an incredibly talented and motivated professional – by leagues the best agent I have ever worked with. Thanks to his exceptional marketing, zeal and talent, he sold my condo for the record high price in my neighborhood, 181K over list price during the off-season!
From the moment I called him till the successful closing, he took care of every detail with the highest degree of excellence. He was personally involved in every aspect of the sale, from staging to marketing to appraisal to escrow process – everything was executed flawlessly and on-time.
Especially as a remote seller, I greatly appreciated how worry-free the whole experience was for me. I know my home sale was in the best hands possible, and Amar exceeded every expectation I could have ever had in selling my home.

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.
With Amar, you will have peace of mind and he makes best memorable home buying experience for you.

Hi Amar/Sri,
Following is my feedback on the home buying experience we had with you and your team.
We started off on the home buying journey with you almost 1 1/2 years back. We had gone
through 4-5 properties related offer presentations where couple of them we did not get
selected and couple of them we got them and rejected them on contingency basis. During
all this time you had been available whenever we called you and asked about any of the
properties.
Finally beginning of this month(May 1 st 2018) we closed with a successful one.
During this long home buying journey we had with you, we observed the following:
1. You are very diligent in your home analysis with respect to the ROI, Costs, growth
potential, suitability to our needs etc. Really appreciate your insight and knowledge
about all things related to home buying.
2. You are very knowledgeable about the scenarios which would fit my family’s
personal needs.
E.g. In one scenario we had a home that was well below and within our budget (price
wise). You had analysed the growth prospects for my family and gave your feedback
on what are the pros and cons of choosing that property, which allowed us to make
our decision in an informed way.
3. You had given us great advice on which conditions we should be wary of and which
we should be able to mitigate and which we should be able to address.
4. You had good external and internal team setup which basically allowed us to close
the property on time.
5. You had been on top of things that were necessary for closing the property.
6. You had given us your external business contacts for working with different aspects
of owning a home and managing it.
Overall it has been a great home buying experience. It was (and is) great feeling, working
with you and your extended team ( especially Stacey Huang).

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.

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.

Working with you (Amar Realtors®) was a great experience for us. Within a month after started working with Amar we found our dream house.
We had worked with 2 other bay area Realtors® before and the experience was bad. Due to our personal reasons we were in a hurry to buy a house and had almost lost hope after a long search. But once we met Amar, he and his wife Sri made this happen for us so quick which seems like a miracle!
The significant difference that we noticed with Amar and others is that Amar’s home buying process along with his negotiation skills and ideas in making an offer stronger makes him unique.
At our first visit with Amar , he discussed home buying process, our requirements, budget and helped us set up right expectations with his frank opinion. We found this helpful esp. when buying home for the first time.
Additionally, the home buying process what Amar Realtors® follow is quite impressive where as a team Sri and Amar looked at various functional and technical aspects of the house and provided their insight. This again helped us in capturing some aspects that went unnoticed.
There are a lot of factors which gave us satisfaction working with Amar and have summarized below :
First of all his ideas in making a strong offer is impactful.
He followed up closely with the selling agent and negotiated very well to win the bid with multiple counter offer situation.
With his excellent negotiation skills, he negotiated 10K$ less than the offered price after the offer was accepted in Willows of Willow Glen San Jose.
The team’s active involvement and coordination through out the process-escrow, loan, closing process was quick and very efficient. Good collaboration.
As an experienced Realtor® Amar’s foresight is excellent .He gives heads up and immediately suggests work around in tough situations.
His encouragement and guidance in making offers irrespective of whether we make a winning offer or a lower priced one gave us good understanding of bidding process.
Overall , me and my husband are very thankful to Amar Realtors® in executing a plan to find a house as per our requirements.We will definitely continue to work with Amar in future and recommend to all our friends
