Real Reviews
Bharat Ravikumar | Hardware Design Engineer | Apple
To start, Amar is one of the most organized individuals I have encountered. From the outset, he provides a detailed, step-by-step overview of the process, ensuring all parties involved are clear about what is expected of them and what they can trust their realtors to handle. He also provides timely updates as you progress, which is vital in keeping track of the N number of things that need to happen.
Sri has an immense understanding of Bay Area neighborhoods — school districts, walkability, future development plans, and the hidden pros and cons of each area. Insight that a non-specialist could probably never have, unless they invest the time and effort to know the area and keep tabs on what’s happening at the local government and developmental level. Whenever I liked a property, Sri would patiently walk me through what she loved about it and what potential red flags she saw. What I liked the most was her brutal honesty. There might be places that we end up liking for whatever reason, but Sri would not mince words in letting you know that it is not worth pursuing and will back it up with solid reasoning. Many times, this helped me weigh properties against one another because I was constantly in a flux of liking multiple properties with close offer deadlines, and prioritizing was a task in and of itself.
Once I zeroed in on a property that I really liked and wanted to proceed, Amar then dove into the technical aspects, complementing her perfectly. He has a keen eye for identifying structural issues, the quality of construction, documentation cleanliness, and cross-verifying permits with the city, among other things. He reviews all of this thoroughly with the buyer, sometimes even late into the night when a time-critical offer is needed. In one case, Amar literally worked with me until midnight, reviewing all this, and then went on to work on offer details through the night, which was a whole dynamic of its own. Having decided to put in an offer on a place and worked with Amar and Sri on the price point, Amar secured my second offer, even in a market as competitive as the Bay Area.
Beyond this, Amar took things mostly on autopilot, making it seamless for the buyer. He coordinated everything behind the scenes, and what followed looked like a well-oiled machine: He connected me quickly to lenders, insurers, and inspectors, using his network, tracked each step — from paperwork, to inspections, to escrow — and proactively flagged anything that could be a snag, handling all the surprises, keeping us informed, and minimizing stress.
In short, Sri and Amar are great realtors. Their unique combination of empathy, integrity, and dedication transformed what could have been a stressful and overwhelming experience into one that felt genuinely supportive. I’d recommend Amar and Sri to anyone who wants a realtor who will protect their interests and look out for them whilst making what could be the biggest purchase of their lives.

From the very beginning, Amar and Sri were not only professional but also incredibly friendly and patient. Their knowledge of the market was incredibly helpful, and they took the time to understand what we were looking for in a home, both the house itself and the kind of lifestyle we wanted. It felt like we were working with people who genuinely cared about finding the right home for us, not just closing a deal.
What really stood out was how Amar and Sri respected our budget. They never once tried to push us toward properties outside our price range and always gave us clear, honest feedback. They weren’t afraid to say ‘no’ to a property if it wasn’t right for us, and that helped us stay focused on what we wanted.
I highly recommend Amar and Sri to anyone seeking a reliable, honest, and caring agent. I’d sincerely like to thank Amar and Sri for their dedication and hard work in helping us find our dream home. Their expertise, patience, and genuine care throughout the entire process made all the difference.
We had a wonderful experience working with Amar and Sri on buying our home in the Bay Area. Since we had recently moved here, Sri was the first to help us by thoroughly evaluating the neighborhood—considering factors such as family-friendliness, school ratings, safety, and property appreciation trends. Amar then carefully walked us through every detail of the inspection reports and documents, always keeping an eye out for any red flags. Amar even went the extra mile by connecting us with previous residents of the community, which gave us valuable insights and helped address our questions.
Amar is also an excellent negotiator—our very first offer was accepted, which speaks volumes about his expertise. Behind the scenes, he leveraged his strong agent network. He worked seamlessly with the lender, escrow officer, insurance, and warranty company to keep everything on track. He also shared a clear milestones checklist and kept us regularly updated, making the entire process transparent and stress-free.
Amar and Sri truly make a great team, combining deep market expertise with a thoughtful, family-focused approach. Their guidance gave us confidence from the very beginning, especially knowing they had already helped someone close to us successfully navigate the home-buying process. We are truly grateful for their dedication and highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bay Area.

Purchasing a home can be a significant challenge, but working with Amar and Sri made the process straightforward and seamless. From our very first meeting, they took the time to truly listen—not just to our wish list, but also to our concerns, priorities, and deal-breakers. It was clear that they were not just trying to sell us any house; Amar and Sri were deeply involved in helping us find the perfect place to call home. Throughout the search, they demonstrated an exceptional understanding of the local market. They pointed out details about neighborhoods, school districts, and future resale value that we would never have considered otherwise. They had an incredible eye for both the potential and the possible pitfalls for all the houses we toured/wanted to tour. What impressed us most was their prompt communication. They were always available to answer all our questions (small or big) and made sure we toured all houses that were a perfect fit for us. At the offer stage, their strategy was spot on—securing a fair price while also addressing important issues before closing.
They went beyond their call of duty in countless ways:
Constantly coordinating with our mortgage broker to keep the financing process on track to ensure a timely closing. Amar also went out of his way to get the best rates for us through the lender. Providing us with constant updates on the closing process and timelines. Providing trusted vendor recommendations for post-move-in improvements. Checking in regularly, even after we had the keys in hand, to make sure we were settling in well.
Thanks to their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care, we didn’t just buy a house; we found the ideal home for our lifestyle and future. We are grateful for their guidance, patience, and honesty, and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering buying or selling a home!
Praveena Sivaprakasam | Senior Technical Leader, QA | Cisco
First of all, I would like to thank Amar and Sri for making the home-buying process seamless. Although it is a short period, the connection we have with Amar and the team for our new home is immeasurable. He is always prompt in responding to any basic or silly query we might have. From the search to closing the sale, he was on a round-the-clock call and worked nonstop, as this house had very tight competition; we secured the home solely because of Amar and his team. Huge Thanks from my son, as he was thrilled to own this beautiful one-of-a-kind home.
I recommend referring to Amar Realtor for your home-buying journey. You will be in good hands, and he will secure the home for you.
Mini Rawat | Senior ASIC Design Engineer | NVIDIA
First of all, we’d like to thank you and Sri for your utmost professionalism and competency that helped us close our home.
While we have been working with other realtors, the reason we chose you for our current property is (a) your strong recommendation by word-of-mouth from friends and family, (b) your utmost rigor and structured way in executing the deal, (c) your timely updates, and (d) your expert market awareness.
The previous realtor that we worked with, who was good and hardworking, did not seem to have the necessary competitiveness to close homes in this current market. Your due diligence in sharing the disclosures, painstakingly going through the disclosure documents page-by-page with us, showing a walkthrough of every aspect of the property, representing our interests to the client in a timely manner, following all procedures, and generating correct documentation despite the speed of execution, etc., all helped us close the deal.
In the previous case, we found that numerous errors cost us both time and effort and in the end not winning the home — e.g. the realtor forgot to check a few critical sections in the offer package (which led to us losing the deal despite being top offer), not following the seller listing agent’s instructions on where to send the offer package to (resulting in offer not even being considered).
Due to the above reasons, we felt it was best to go with you, and, of course, you delivered the results we desired.
Also, Amar/Sri, to the best of our knowledge, we have never signed any Buyer-Broker agreement for exclusivity with any realtor.
Thanks, Mini

I just wanted to take a few minutes to share my home-buying experience, especially with Amar and Sri, who made the whole journey smooth and stress-free.
I loved how Amar and Sri worked as a true team. Sri was all about the details—she dove deep into location analytics, ROI, schools, neighborhood vibes, and even safety scores. Every time we looked at a home, she had data and insights ready that helped us feel confident about the long-term value.
On the other hand, Amar handled all the financial aspects—technical details of the home, negotiations, mortgage, insurance, closing timelines, paperwork—you name it, anything in the home-buying process. He always had great recommendations, whether for a lender with the best rates. It felt like Amar and the team had a solution for everything.
One thing that stood out was how much they cared even after accepting the offer. It never felt like a one-and-done transaction. They checked in, answered questions after closing, and genuinely built a relationship that feels like we’re part of a community, not just clients.
I’m super happy with the home we ended up with and even more grateful that Amar and Sri guided us through it. I recommend anyone looking to Buy a home in the Bay Area.
Ajinkya Padwad | RealityKit SDET | Apple 
We were overwhelmed with the process when we started our Home-Buying Journey with open houses. One of our friends recommended Amar and Sri as top realtors. We have received the best service since day one. They put us at ease and held our hands throughout the journey.
Amar prepared a comprehensive step-by-step layout of milestones, which helped clarify the roadmap. We would find new houses weekly and share our thoughts with Sri for her review. Sri was always available and guided us when we chose the Neighborhood. She also helped focus on the right aspects. Amar and Sri also connected us with lenders and guided us through the mortgage loan process.
Once we finalized the house to put an offer on, Amar went through all the disclosures in depth. He presented all the foundational and structural aspects, showcasing his expertise. His excellent negotiations ultimately helped secure the house of our dreams. After that, escrow took a few weeks to close, and even after closing, Amar and Sri helped guide us through the next steps.
Overall, the seemingly overwhelming process of buying a house was made much easier with the trusted expertise of Amar and Sri, and we will forever be grateful!
Ketki Gawande | Sr.Software Engineer | Amazon
We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Amar and Sri during our home-buying journey. Amar is an exceptional realtor who goes beyond just handling the transaction—he provides a thorough, technical breakdown of each property, explaining the pros and cons in great detail. His in-depth knowledge of a home’s structure, condition, and long-term value instills confidence and helps make informed decisions.
The greatest advantage of working with Amar and Sri is that they understand the emotional side of home buying and bring sharp insights into a property’s appreciation potential and unique aspects. Sri is incredibly supportive, helping to talk through concerns, evaluate key factors, and build confidence in decision-making. Her ability to highlight a home’s long-term value and strengths ensures that buyers feel secure and well-informed when putting in an offer. What truly sets Amar and Sri apart is their ability to win in competitive situations. We were in a multiple-offer scenario, and thanks to their expertise, negotiation skills, and strategic approach, they won the very first home we put an offer on! Knowing we had such a strong and capable team advocating for us was an incredible feeling.
Amar also provided invaluable assistance in finding a lender, resulting in approximately $10k in savings on closing costs. We closed in record time, making the entire process really stress-free. One of the standout features of working with Amar is his well-organized step-by-step buying process. He clearly outlines the responsibilities of both the buyers and the realtor, ensuring everyone is on the same page and knows what to expect at each stage.
Amar and Sri possess an impressive knowledge of all the zip codes and neighborhoods, offering detailed insights into each area’s pros and cons. They are transparent about properties they wouldn’t recommend, providing honest feedback that helps us avoid potential pitfalls.
This team makes home buying a successful, enjoyable, and confident experience!

Home Buying experience
We worked with Amar and Sri twice to buy our home. Initially, we bought a starter home and recently purchased an upgraded one. Both times were joyful and smooth. Even our smallest needs and wishes were taken care of at each property he brought us to show. Amar provided guidance on what was important and how to read the reports, which was brilliant. He always had our best interests in mind, and we are grateful to have found him as our realtor.
Amar is extremely knowledgeable about the technical aspects. Once we finalized the house and decided to go ahead, he was extremely proactive in making offers and negotiating. He made our dream come true, even if there was a $35,000 difference in the counteroffer price. The counteroffers were quick, and the most efficient part was that we didn’t raise the price in any of them. Amar helped us obtain inspection reports and took the time to patiently schedule a call to explain every page of each report. 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 we will definitely 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.
Aasha Kumari | Senior Site Reliability Engineer | Google
Amar,
As we started thinking about making our biggest purchase yet, a close family friend highly recommended you. You immediately made an effort to meet with us, spending nearly three hours walking us through the entire process, sharing insights about neighborhoods, and providing an in-depth look at the Bay Area market. We were genuinely impressed by the depth of your knowledge and commitment from the beginning.
Coming from Los Angeles and new to the Bay Area housing market, we didn’t want to restrict ourselves and were open to exploring what other real estate agents had to offer. We carefully chose someone who understood our finances, style, background, and future investment goals. After thorough due diligence, we decided to work with you because your skill set and experience match our Real estate objectives.
Throughout our search, you went above and beyond—working day and night—to find a home that truly suited us. Your understanding of our likes and dislikes and your refusal to pressure us into a property until you were confident it matched our needs demonstrated your dedication. In this competitive seller’s market, while other agents repeatedly pushed us to stretch our budget, you helped us focus on properties within our financial and comfort range.
As we progressed, you carefully crafted three offers with us, showing remarkable effort and precision in the negotiation process. Witnessing the thoroughness and attention to detail in each offer was another key factor in our decision to trust you with this major financial purchase.
In contrast, our experience with other agents, including a Redfin representative, felt very different. The limited Bay Area market knowledge and the transactional approach some of them took made it clear that they focused more on a quick sale than on truly understanding our long-term needs and investment goals. Your approach, centered on our preferences and comfort, reinforced our confidence that we were making the right decision with you.
Thank you for your unwavering dedication, professionalism, and genuine care in helping us make such an important financial and personal decision as buying our dream home. Your service has been invaluable to us.
Vijai Mohan | Software Engineer | Meta
We have bought two homes in Menlo Park through Amar. Amar and his team are very knowledgeable and transparent, and they provided us with valuable advice from scouting through closing. In both cases, we had competing offers but did not have to go above our budget to get the place. The best thing about his team is that they always look after your interests, ensure you have enough upside, and advise you to walk away otherwise.
When our closing was delayed due to the seller’s fault, Amar negotiated with the seller and secured a rent-free two-month lease on the property. Several such small things like these take the stress out of us, especially when moving to a new city. Overall, we had a wonderful time working with Amar and will use him for any other property we plan to buy.
Shubhangi Alande | Senior Software Engineer | ASML 
Mohit and I (Shubhangi ) have always dreamed of owning our first home. However, as with most firsts, it was dreadful not knowing the detailed process, where to start, what to expect, who is involved, who to trust to represent our interests, and a million other open questions that kept us from taking the first step in the home-buying process.
Since our first call with Amar, he has been very easy to talk to and professional. During the first few conversations, Amar laid out a clear plan for each of our responsibilities, assigning important roles to all of us. This plan helped us navigate the intimidating process and provided a clear picture of what to expect.
Amar’s experience, commitment to his clients’ dreams, negotiation skills, and contacts at every step were a lethal combination on our side, making the process seamless and resulting in favorable closing terms. He was available day/night whenever we had questions, and his communication about completed, ongoing, and upcoming tasks kept us informed at all times, which was crucial in easing our minds as first-time buyers.
I would strongly recommend having Amar, Sri, and their team on your side during your home-buying journey, where the trust of knowing there is someone representing your best interests is crucial.
Deepshika Gilbile | Scientist | BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc
As first-time homebuyers, my husband and I are happy to share that we had a great experience working with Sri and Amar. They both have their own unique areas of expertise and were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain every step, answered all our questions, and made us feel confident in our decisions. Their expertise and dedication ensured that we found the perfect home for us. We’re so grateful for their guidance and support. We highly recommend Sri and Amar to anyone seeking a professional and caring real estate agent.
Devashish Sharma | Senior Product Manager | KLA
There is a lot to say about Amar and Sri, but let me start with this: This was our second house purchase, and we have worked with several realtors, but have never met anyone who can even remotely compare to what Amar and Sri bring to the table.
I am here to highlight a few key aspects of our home-buying journey with Amar and Sri.
Sri, with her several decades of experience and in-depth knowledge of the Bay Area market and neighborhoods, provides a holistic view of any property. She is very transparent in highlighting the negatives/lowlights of any property that a buyer must know. She gives honest feedback, even if a property meets your requirements. Amar did the due diligence, thoroughly reviewed the home inspection reports, and conducted an in-depth analysis of key aspects of the inspection report with the home buyers. They spent close to four hours reviewing the inspection reports with us and patiently answered all our questions.
Offer preparation: This is where Amar takes his own sweet time, which is the most important part of the process. Most Bay Area realtors lack this. Amar’s strategy for offer preparation is unique. Working with Amar, I realized the offer is not just about the dollar amount – he studies the case very closely, spends numerous hours understanding the seller’s and agent’s mindset, and highlights other aspects of the offer extremely well.
Negotiation: The Bay Area market is highly competitive, and when it comes to the offer price, ‘more is less.’ Amar’s biggest strengths are his negotiation skills and the strategy he uses to win offers, even with lower-priced bids than others.
Sri’s constant communication and updates throughout the process are extremely important for maintaining calmness and alleviating any anxiety that may arise.
Amar has a fantastic team to follow up on closure activities, such as loans, insurance, and warranties. I shopped around for rates at four different banks. Still, no one could beat the loan offer, which is the homeowner’s insurance offer/coverage provided by Amar’s contacts. The lender recommended by Amar closed my loan in 12 days.
Amar and Sri have strong networks and excellent working relationships with nearly all realtors in the Bay Area. The home-buying process can be quite stressful, but with Amar and Sri, you can rest assured that you have the best partners and that they have your best interests.
I would highly recommend Amar and Sri to all prospective homebuyers.
Ashwini Ravi | Senior Product Manager
Amar & Sri,

Amar possesses extraordinary negotiation skills, particularly when negotiating a contract without overspending. Amar has been responsible for resolving any unforeseen circumstances that may arise throughout the process.
Sri’s guidance has made our home-searching journey a breeze. Their ability to align our needs with the appropriate criteria, along with their detailed explanations supported by valid reasons, has been invaluable.
Amar and Sri have a very solid process, following a step-by-step protocol, which made it a very easy and straightforward experience for us. They provided us with many useful tips that helped us beyond what a typical realtor relationship offers.

Amar and Sri were fantastic realtors to work with for our recent home purchase. We moved to the Bay Area from Texas, and we were new to the area, with hardly any understanding of the market. Amar and Sri were incredibly responsive and worked tirelessly to help us find the perfect, great-value home in just a few weeks.

Prakash Ramadass | Entrepreneur| Investor | Dhyan Networks and Technologies
We have been working with Amar and Sri for over a decade. Besides the trust factor, I appreciate their unique ability to find great investment properties due to their strong local market knowledge.
It was the first weekend and our first offer since we decided to buy an investment property.
Amar and Sri, understanding our time constraints, responded quickly and were truly committed to helping us meet our goals. We had our first call on Friday, and Sri shared a few open houses to visit over the weekend. After viewing a few properties, we decided to submit an offer the next day. Amar & Sri worked very hard for the next few days to negotiate the best possible deal. At some point during the negotiation process, we were told that we were competing with many offers. While we thought the deal was gone, Amar did his true magic and yet again proved why he is so good at what he does – he closed the deal, helping us buy the property for less than expected.
I highly recommend Amar & Sri’s real estate service if you plan to buy or sell property in the Bay Area. They have truly become one of our closest friends and our trusted partners.
Abhilash Boggavarapu| Staff Software Engineer | Zeiss Medical Technology
Our home-buying experience with Amar and Sri was truly exceptional. As first-time home buyers, we had very little knowledge about the process, but they both made everything feel simple and stress-free. From the very beginning, Amar and Sri
created a clear home purchase roadmap with key milestones for us, covering everything from loan pre-approval to selecting a lender, insurance, warranties, and working with the title company. Amar also prepared us to work as a team, ensuring each step was executed at the right time, keeping the process smooth and on track.
They took the time to educate us on what factors to consider when choosing a home, such as location, community, amenities, schools, and accessibility, which really helped us make informed decisions. Even when the seller presented some challenges, Amar and Sri worked patiently and professionally with the seller’s agent to help us secure our dream home.
By the end of the process, we not only found the perfect home but also gained a deeper understanding of the entire home-buying journey, from assessing a home’s value and quality to reviewing documents and finalizing the transaction. Amar and
Sri was with us every step of the way, ensuring we entered our new home with confidence and happiness.
We are sincerely grateful for all the efforts and support from Amar, Sri, and their team. Their dedication to their clients is evident, and we highly recommend them to anyone seeking a smooth and well-guided home-buying experience.
Sameer Varma Pakalapati | Software Engineer | Cisco
I want to thank the realtor duo of Amar and Sri and recommend their services to everyone in my social circle and beyond who are new to the housing market, like myself. When I started thinking about buying a home, my friends who had used their services to buy their first homes implored me to stop looking for random realtors online and reach out to Amar without hesitation. I’ve been thanking my lucky stars ever since. I was introduced to the whole home-buying process. Amar explained the roles each of us would play in the coming days and created a roadmap tailored to my needs. On the other hand, Sri covered the pros and cons of each neighborhood I was interested in, as well as key things to watch for when searching for homes in the housing market. I felt safe from the beginning, and the prolonged phone calls, which answered every question I had, only reinforced my trust in their process.
It took barely 2 weeks to find my dream home. Although this type of short search is rare, Amar explained why I shouldn’t miss out on this house after reviewing the neighborhood’s advantages and the home’s condition. We discussed the house’s reports in detail and explained why this house was of great value compared to other houses on the market, providing examples. I never felt rushed to make a decision. Amar made a calculated offer that evening, within my budget, to avoid further bidding wars. I still wonder what magic Amar performed behind the scenes to convince the seller to accept my offer, which was nowhere near the house’s true worth, if you ask me. It’s a great-value property in many respects.
Amar and Sri worked tirelessly for 48 hours to close my offer, keeping me updated at every step. Once the offer was closed, the next steps were a breeze thanks to Amar’s methodical approach. He had the best contacts for everything in the home-buying process, such as loans, Insurance, warranties, Escrow, and more.
I can’t praise the duo enough; I highly recommend them for their real estate services to ensure a smooth, satisfying home-buying experience.
Poreddy Vishnu Vardhan | Physical Design Lead | Apple Inc.
As first-time homebuyers, we were on the verge of abandoning our search because of the intense market and our budget constraints. However, Amar’s insightful perspective made us rethink our decision. His ability to reframe our situation and uncover hidden opportunities was truly remarkable.
Sri’s profound knowledge of Bay Area neighborhoods was key to our search. Her keen eye for community dynamics and future potential guided us toward our perfect home. Her expertise ensured that we made an informed decision, one that was perfectly aligned with our lifestyle and long-term goals.
The true magic happened when Amar’s exceptional negotiation skills came into play. Amar masterfully secured our dream home within our budget in a market where bidding wars are the norm. His strategic approach, market insights, and agent networking allowed us to win our dream home. Our home-buying experience was not only successful but also surprisingly smooth and stress-free, providing us with a sense of relief and reassurance.
We are immensely grateful to have had Amar and Sri as our realtors. Their invaluable guidance and expertise were instrumental in our successful home purchase. For anyone looking to navigate the Bay Area’s real estate market, Amar and Sri are, without a doubt, the dream team you need by your side.

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Amar and Sri for their exceptional assistance in helping us purchase our dream home.
Amar demonstrated remarkable thoroughness in addressing the home’s technical details. His strategic partnerships with banks, home insurance, home warranty providers, and other essential services resulted in significant discounts, saving us considerable time and effort in research. These partnerships proved invaluable, offering us the best deals available.
Remarkably, the home we purchased was our first offer. We never imagined that we would secure our first bid, especially given the competitive nature of the Bay Area market. Our friends shared horror stories about the challenges in their home-buying journeys. We avoided such difficulties thanks to Amar’s expertise in negotiating favorable deals for the clients. Amar also provided invaluable guidance on setting up our new home.
Sri played a crucial role in helping us understand the home’s livability and guiding us through the neighborhoods to consider. As first-time homebuyers, we had numerous questions, and Sri was always just a phone call away, patiently addressing our concerns. She consistently explained each step of the process. Sri’s deep understanding of first-time buyer anxiety and her dedication to ensuring we made the right decisions provided us with a sense of security. Her knowledge and passion for helping clients are truly remarkable.
Overall, having both Amar and Sri working together, each with their unique skill sets and handling different aspects of the deal, felt like having two realtors for the price of one. Their combined efforts made our home-buying experience truly exceptional, and we are deeply appreciative of their work.

I want to start by expressing my gratitude to Sri and Amar. Their efforts, focus, and dedication to getting us our dream home have been outstanding.
For context, my wife and I started searching for a home in March 2024. We were particularly concerned about the house due to our infants, and the directions were also important to us (Vastu). We viewed over 100 houses and submitted two offers. All of our offers were outbid, which left us in despair. At one point, we had to stop our search as it became increasingly difficult to manage the kids while visiting houses and reviewing disclosures.
On May 19th, I found Amar’s contact and contacted him. We restarted our search from the weekend of May 25th, as we were getting desperate. On June 1st, we found a house we really liked and reached out to Sri and Amar to put in an offer. Within a few hours, they had researched and prepared all the necessary information. They called to inform us that the house looked good on both the exterior and the interior. Amar reviewed all the disclosures and reports with us before making an offer. Amar guided us through its important elements. This was the first offer we made to Amar and Sri.
Amar and Sri told us that we had to submit an overnight preemptive offer to secure the house and requested that we make ourselves available. They started with the listing price and gave us the option to go up to $25k above the asking price, but no more. In the Bay Area market, asking $100-200k above is the norm. Amar’s advice, which went against the market norm, instilled a deep sense of trust and confidence in their expertise. We decided to go by their decision and went only $25k above the asking price.
Amar and Sri worked on our case overnight and sent out an offer. The next day (June 2nd), Amar did his magic and got us to the house before 1 p.m. (before the open house). Only God knows how many calls and negotiations they had to make our dream a reality, but we got the house without bidding. We were able to close within 18 days.
Amar and Sri have truly worked for us without thinking about what’s in it for them; they worked for our best interest, and it is rare to find such human beings. We will always be grateful for their dedication and selflessness in helping us find our dream home. My wife and I are deeply appreciative of their efforts and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a home purchase.

Thank you, Amar and Sri, for helping us achieve our dream of owning a home. Still, I recall that it was a highly competitive market, and we were first-time homebuyers with numerous questions and doubts. Amar and the team’s clear and straightforward explanations throughout the home-buying process, from pre-approval to final closing, were very helpful.
Amar has a great team, where each member completes their part at a high velocity. The seller did not initially select our offer. We were in third place after counteroffers because we hesitated to go beyond a certain price. After we lost the offer, we were about to move on to our next home hunt. However, Amar was actively seeking the opportunity even after we last accepted the offer. Amar immediately acts when the seller has a situation that requires putting the home back on the market, as the buyer has backed off. That’s where we really appreciate Amar’s passion, dedication, and hard work in securing a home for his clients. Amar convinced the seller to accept our earlier offer (at the same price) before relisting the house on the market. Once sellers accept our offer, Amar & team complete the process in around 21 days. It was at great speed, and still, he made it a very smooth process for us at every stage.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Amar and Sri to buy our dream home. It was a wonderful journey throughout the home-buying process, from our initial meeting to the day we closed and received the keys.
Amar and Sri took the time to understand our needs and preferences. They provided valuable insights into the neighborhood and the pros and cons of each home we shortlisted during the search. They were always just a phone call or text away, promptly addressing our questions or concerns. They did not rush us through the process and patiently guided us until we found the home that perfectly fit our needs.
Amar’s negotiating skills were excellent, and they strategically closed the deal for us in this competitive market. Amar and Sri went above and beyond, working late and early hours. They helped us with a preemptive offer over the weekend to finalize the property sale. Their exceptional effort instilled in us a great sense of confidence in their abilities.
Amar and Sri’s professionalism, expertise, and, above all, their genuine commitment to our satisfaction set them apart. We are incredibly grateful for their help in finding our perfect home, and we wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again in the future.
Yogesh Shekar | Staff Software Engineer | Qualcomm
Despite having been in the home-buying market for over 3 years and having observed housing market trends, stumbling upon Amar and Sri through a simple Google search while looking for a realtor was a Godsend! They truly opened our eyes to the nitty-gritty details of the home-buying process.
Sri, with her wealth of knowledge about Bay Area neighborhoods, was a beacon of guidance amid the chaotic real estate market. She was always just a text or a call away, ready to address our queries and concerns. She understands our needs and can guide us through the home-buying process, providing continuous feedback and deep insights into the pros/cons of each house, both in the short and long term. Amar’s negotiation strategies during the offer process made us feel truly valued and important. With Sri’s and Amar’s expertise and assistance, we were able to secure our dream home for our little family within a few months. After the offer was accepted, they continued to support us at every stage, providing us with valuable contacts/references and helping us close the offer sooner than expected.
I highly recommend Amar and Sri as a team for home buyers. I completely trust the process, knowing you are in safe hands.
Sandhya Sheshadri | Product Management Director
Amar brings an engineer’s approach to the entire process by laying out a well-tested step-wise strategy for success. From our first interaction with Amar, we strongly understood that Amar was the right kind of mentor for us. He provided us with the right amount of detail, tailored to each stage of the process, and we never felt overwhelmed with information. We soon developed a strong sense of reassurance and confidence in Amar and Sri’s abilities.
As we progressed through various stages of the process, from loan pre-approval to making the eventual offer, we repeatedly felt that our trust in Amar and his team was validated. In a competitive bidding process, Amar and Sri delivered on their promise of securing our dream home. They also connected us with lenders and other contacts after the purchase, who were equally helpful and efficient.
We strongly recommend Amar and the team for anyone interested in buying/selling a home.
Supriya Ranawade |Software Development Engineer I Amazon
Our journey to homeownership began two months ago, culminating in the acquisition of our first home just a few days ago, all in the fiercely competitive Bay Area market. Thanks to their stellar Google reviews, our discovery of Amar and Sri was a game-changer. Their unique approach, tailored to our specific needs, was evident from our very first meeting. They are a dynamic duo adept at devising strategies that maximize your investment and ensure you get the most out of your hard-earned money.
From the day we started looking for houses, Amar and Sri shared their wise thoughts and all the things we should consider before making any offers. It would have been challenging for first-time homebuyers to enter the competitive housing market. Still, Amar and Sri made us comfortable. They encouraged us to make informed decisions, taking into account both current and future market conditions. Sri would give us an overall opinion on the house we liked and mention any red flags regarding long-term property value. Amar has an extensive network of other agents and a deep understanding of offer dynamics, which are crucial to winning a bid. He also has great contacts for pre-approvals, financing, home insurance, and home warranty, among other services, which help you get the best rates and make your life easier.
Amar and Sri are very prompt in their communication, which is crucial for bidding and closing on the house. They provide valuable advice even after closing on the home, continually checking whether we, as buyers, have any concerns with the house and how to improve its security. Once you build a relationship with them, it lasts a lifetime. We are very grateful and lucky to have them as our realtors.
Dhaval Khamar | Product Management Director | Yahoo
Amar and Sri are amazing realtors!! We are first-time home buyers and first-generation immigrants. Amar and Sri guided us through the home-buying process. From shortlisting open houses to visiting and finalizing the final offer, they were there with us. They also guided us on what to look for and how to evaluate our dream home.
We looked for several houses, but this one was the first time we decided to bid on a beautiful house in Cupertino. With Amar’s thorough negotiation, our first bid became our last, and we won our dream home!! Amar and Sri guided us through every step of finalizing the contract and helped us choose a mortgage.
I certainly recommend Amar for all your property needs. I wish Amar and Sri all the best.
Karthik Mahesh | Aircraft Systems Safety | Cirrus
Amar and Sri helped us buy our first home five years ago today, and there never goes a week without our hearts full of gratitude, especially when we hear nightmare stories about other realtors and offers being rejected due to being unable to close escrow, and so on. They have been a beacon of light when I was not sure of what’s involved in home buying and how things are handled. They have an efficient team that handles all the details and follows up promptly to ensure our concerns and questions are addressed, offering valuable suggestions. All the best, Ama,r and future home owners
Ram Elango | Data Engineering Lead | Illumio
I wanted to buy a property in Fremont. Amar explained the home-buying process to me, including 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 update Amar and Sri.
Amar then worked very hard during the contract process by placing me in the right spot, which helped me get the home. At this stage, the one crucial point is that, even though I was willing to pay more for the house, Amar got me the home at a lower price, which is incredible. It clearly shows his confidence in the field he is in, which is excellent.
I went with a bank that gave me pre-approval. However, due to the COVID-19 situation, they were unable to approve my loan. At this point, I thought that I would lose this new home. However, Amar secured an additional day from the seller, and at that point I switched to a different bank for the loan.
Amar did not lose hope despite tremendous pressure from all sides. However, despite being under pressure, he tried to handle everyone with compassion and a calm demeanor. 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, along with my family, are always grateful to 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 great lengths to make it happen.
The service Amar is doing is incredible, and I wish him all the best. There is no way anyone can beat him, and he is the top Realtor® in our Bay Area.
Nisha Kapoor | ML @ Credit Karma | Ex-Meta
In the Bay Area housing market, navigating home bidding wars and successfully buying a home is almost impossible without the right guidance. Amar and his team provide this invaluable guidance. With him, you will definitely achieve the house you desire. Amar, with his extensive network and negotiation skills, and Sri, with her in-depth knowledge of Bay Area neighborhoods, make a formidable team.
We purchased our first home with Amar, and our experience working with him has been amazing. We bought our house within 2 months of working with Amar. Throughout the process, we got advice and guidance on the best neighborhoods to consider, home quality, and the current market.
We were able to stand out from similar or even better offers and get the house only because of Amar’s reputation and his network. The entire process from placing an offer to closing was extremely smooth with Amar and the team. We closed the house in a record 14 days. We continue to consult him for our real estate questions and investments and hope to work with him in the future for our next house. We strongly recommend Amar and Sri to anyone considering buying a home in the Bay Area.
Anuradha Chopade | Spiritual Wellness Partner | SFBU
Amar is the best realtor for all the homebuyers. Buying a house is a challenging process, especially in the current South Bay market. Fortunately, we had Amar handling everything for us. He is a very genuine person with excellent market knowledge and negotiation skills. We are still considering how he managed to secure the offer for us from multiple competitors. Amar, you encouraged us to buy an independent house when we were considering a townhouse. We never thought we would be able to buy this house, but with all your input and efforts, we managed to get it.
Amar is an experienced realtor, and the properties he has sold set him apart. He, along with his team, is working very hard to help buyers find their dream homes.
Thank you so much Amar for everything, we really appreciate what you have done for us.
Madhuri Gokhale | Architecture & Planning Professional | Archevon
We are delighted to share our experience of purchasing a home from Amar Amarnath, a well-known realtor in the Bay Area. He is famous for his in-depth market knowledge and extensive experience.
He listens & communicates with honesty, genuine attention, and understands clients’ needs. We bought our first home with him, and he is still available to help us with any house needs to this day. We recently remodeled our house, and he helped with that process too!
It’s always been a wonderful experience to talk to Amar, as he is positive, compassionate, and believes it’s his responsibility to help us stay stress-free. I highly recommend him as the best professional and friend in the real estate market.
Anil Vemulapalli | Senior Staff Engineer | Qualcomm
It was a really good experience working with Amar, Sri & Team in the home-buying process. Sri Amar shortlists properties for home visits every week. She shares her feedback about the property, both within and outside the neighborhood; the location details are commendable. Amar’s negotiation efforts are awesome. Amar executes the entire process smoothly, from every step to the house’s closing on time, as promised during the offer stage, by working with all stakeholders, including the lender, escrow officer, home warranty provider, home insurance company, and selling agent. Amar and the team assist with all post-closing needs and are available to provide guidance. I highly recommend Amar & team to you when choosing your dream home.

Sriya Rajagopalan |Senior Release Automation Engineer | Commvault
We had a great home-buying experience with Amar and Sri. We have worked with them to get our first home(condo), and they were our go-to option when we started looking to upgrade to a single-family home. We came across a house that met our requirements, and Sri promptly helped us arrange a viewing. She took the time to review the house’s pros and cons and encouraged us to consider multiple factors before making a purchase decision.
However, once we decided to proceed, Sri and Amar were able to get us pre-approved and submit an offer on the house. They guided us through the negotiation process and helped us obtain an appropriate price for the home. Furthermore, the closing was smooth and seamless, particularly since most of the processes were digitized.
Amar and Sri were well-prepared and provided us with definite milestones for the closing process. Sri was also very responsive to questions and concerns, and we were able to get the keys without any issues. We are thankful to Amar and Sri for making the house-buying process hassle-free!

Amar and Sri were really helpful with our overall house-hunting and buying process. We met with Amar after our friend referred him to us. Amar was very clear from the beginning about the process, and his knowledge-sharing sessions were very informative and helpful. It clarified the house-buying process and what to look for while buying a home. We were amazed by Amar and Sri’s step-by-step approach as we had yet to find this kind of process elsewhere. As we looked for houses, they helped us educate ourselves about the location, the condition of the house, and other relevant details. Amar’s knowledge and expertise on the technical aspects of a house are top-notch. This helps first-time home buyers a lot. They are also very quick and accurate when preparing and giving offers on the house. They helped us review disclosures and reports, and prepare an offer all in one day.
Amar’s skill and experience in presenting our offer and negotiating with sellers helped us accept the offer and eventually own our first house before the offer’s due date. It’s an incredible milestone in the Bay Area housing market. The entire process took approximately a month. Once our offer was accepted, we spoke to Sri daily. She educated us on many topics, from managing finances and selecting mortgage loan products to practical tips for settling in after moving in. She is well-equipped and informative about house buying and financial processes. We continue to communicate with them regularly about any questions we may have, and they are very prompt in responding to all our queries. We would definitely recommend Amar and Sri to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the Bay Area.

We were introduced to Amar and Sri through a friend who had only great things to say about them. We had an in-depth conversation with Sri regarding ROI, the best areas to focus on, and key factors to consider in a home. She offered a different perspective that we, as first-time homebuyers, would not have considered. Sri’s insight helped us narrow our requirements and focus our energy on the right areas.
Amar went over the complete home-buying timeline. He discussed details of responsibility for each step of the process. This was very helpful for us, and a small session with him cleared all our doubts about the home-buying process. Sri and Amar work as a team and understand that home buyers know what’s best at the ground level. Sri can provide a high-level perspective regarding location, ROI, and other social and financial factors. At the same time, Amar can go into the background and ensure the structural, legal, and economic viability and feasibility of making a place a home.
When we found our to-be home, we knew we had to place an offer. Sri also visited the house in person, and we aligned our expectations of the home. We then had a 2-hour discussion with Amar, who walked us through all the disclosures and addressed all our questions and concerns. Amar reviewed all structural, functional, and legal aspects of the property. Once we were all convinced, Sri and Amar discussed the best price point for a property. Amar’s skill here was unmatched, and we were picked in a multi-offer environment. Amar worked through the evening and night to make this happen on our first offer.
Sri and Amar’s assistance did not stop there. Within a few days, Amar outlined a closing process plan that helped us understand our responsibilities at each step. Amar always monitored the progress in the back end, coordinated with all responsible parties, and ensured things progressed smoothly until the closing date.
Sri and Amar have continued to be with us after closing despite not having the obligation. They have helped address the first few problems we encountered after moving into our home, and they continue to provide valuable guidance.
Praveen Subramanian | Data Scientist | Meta
Amar’s team helped us get our first home in the Bay Area. If you are first-time homebuyers, Amar and Sri’s impeccable process and wise guidance were what we needed to understand the various aspects to consider when purchasing a home.
Amar’s upfront commitment and detailed due diligence gave us the confidence to trust him and the process, allowing us to focus on what’s important to us while leaving the nitty-gritty details to Amar.
Sri, in particular, was always available to answer our numerous questions and provided us with the guidance we needed on what to look for, and more importantly, what to avoid when purchasing a home.
Sharath Rajamurthy | Engineering Leader | Intuit
Working with Amar and Sri was an absolute pleasure. I’m glad I found Amar while searching for the best realtors in the Bay Area. From the outset, I had a great experience, and all our discussions were highly productive.
Amar has defined very clear steps for the home-buying process, which will clarify most of the questions for first-time home buyers like me. During our first discussion, Amar walked me through the home-buying process, key milestones, and the accountability involved. He also sent all the details via email for reference, which was really helpful.
Sri was super helpful in reviewing and guiding us on the home’s foundational aspects, i.e., neighborhood, schools, and home value. She is very friendly, has incredible knowledge of various aspects of the house, and is always available to help clarify any queries I have.
Amar focused on the technical aspects of the home. He conducted a detailed walkthrough of the inspection reports and clearly explained everything we needed to know before moving in. His influence and negotiation skills are commendable as he helped us get the best deal in current market conditions. He also connected me with the best teams for mortgage, home insurance, and repairs/improvements.
I am deeply grateful to Amar and Sri for helping us buy our dream home, and we’re proud to be part of the Amar Realtor family. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to any home buyers, as you can NEVER go wrong.
Amar Realtor is the best in the Bay Area and truly deserves all the appreciation for their phenomenal work.
Our experience working with Sri and Amar for the second time has once again exceeded all expectations. Having previously navigated the challenging Bay Area market with them, we were confident in their ability to guide us through finding our second home.
Although we weren’t actively looking, a property caught our eye, and despite being on the market for over a month and a half, Sri and Amar made it happen. In a market known for its competitiveness, they secured the house at the listing price – the only one we looked at and the first offer we made. It’s an incredible value home!
What sets Sri and Amar apart is their exceptional understanding of our vision. They translated our preferences into reality, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. This marks the second time they’ve helped us find our forever home, and their expertise and dedication shine through in every step.
Their proactive communication, timely updates, and strategic negotiation skills made the entire experience seamless. We are incredibly grateful to Sri and Amar for their professionalism, efficiency, and commitment. Thanks to them, we are proud owners of our dream home for the second time. If you’re in search of dedicated and skilled real estate professionals, look no further.
Lakshmana Chari | Software Engineer | Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Once again, we experienced a proud owner moment. Yes, we bought a new home! Courtesy of Amar/ Sri and his team. Homeownership wouldn’t have materialized without Amar/ Sri’s team. We are so glad we partnered with Amar’s / Sri’s team. We are one of the beneficiaries of Amar’s market expertise, expert negotiation skills, execution, and Agent network. Amar went way beyond our expectations; he doesn’t stop with a regular disclosure review; he runs it against public records/reports to clear up any doubts.
We had experience working with Amar a decade ago; from what we remember, his team has only improved. If we had to do it all over again, without a doubt, Amar/Sri is my go-to person. Amar & Sri, we couldn’t find the right words to express our gratitude. Mere words do not do justice for lack of better words.
Thank you very much for getting us our dream home. I highly recommend the Amar/Sri team to anyone who wants a similar journey.
Arun Sivasubramanian
Working with Amar and Sri has been nothing short of amazing! As first-time homebuyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better team to partner with. What a dynamic duo! They guided us through the entire Home-Buying process and helped us buy our first home in such a short period. We didn’t expect it to be such a smooth process, especially given the current market conditions, but with Amar and Sri’s guidance, we were able to close on our beautiful home.
Amar and Sri’s experience level within the Bay Area market is unmatched. Even though we had a good idea of what we were looking for in a house, ideal budget, and preferred areas, Amar and Sri provided additional perspectives that helped us widen our search criteria and hone in on high-value properties.
From our initial meeting, we were impressed by their expertise and professionalism. They were extremely organized and managed every stage with great efficiency. They were also very involved in every stage of the process. Even after we closed on our home, they went above and beyond, continuing to support us by suggesting other helpful things that we, as first-time buyers, were unaware of.
Every first-time homebuyer seeks guidance, a strong supportive network of resources, and realtors who genuinely look out for their client’s best interests and do not just close the sale. With Amar and Sri on your team, you would feel that! We are so grateful and happy to have found our home with them, and we would recommend them to anyone looking to buy a house in the Bay Area. They are truly the best!

Their assistance in finding the perfect home for me, along with their skilled negotiation tactics, was invaluable. Their understanding of the local market and their ability to navigate the complexities of the buying process made it a seamless, stress-free experience.
Additionally, I would like to thank them for their assistance in finding the right lender for me. When our first lender fell through, they worked to find another lender that could offer a better deal. Their ability to adapt and find solutions quickly was remarkable, making all the difference in the buying process.
I highly recommend Amar and Sri to anyone in need of a Realtor.
Arun Sivasubramanian
We are extremely grateful to Amar and his team for helping us make our dream home a reality. We were new to this entire Home-Buying process.
Based on our friend’s recommendation, we contacted Amar and his team. They have patiently guided us throughout the process. They are very organized with their execution plan, showing us every step.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Amar and Sri as my realtors to find a great investment property in this high-interest-rate environment in the heart of San Jose. When I first contacted them, they took the time to truly understand my investment objectives and financial constraints, which set the foundation for a customized and creative approach to property acquisition.
One of Amar and Sri’s standout qualities is their deep knowledge of the San Jose real estate market. They could pinpoint properties that not only met my investment criteria but also had the potential for significant future appreciation. Their insights into the local market trends were invaluable in helping me make informed decisions.
Their innovative approach to financing set Amar and Sri apart in this purchase. They went above and beyond to explore various financing options to maximize my investment return. Their ability to think outside the box led to a financing arrangement that was advantageous and unique to my situation. Their creative financing solutions enabled me to secure the property at a good price, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their expertise in this area.
Throughout the entire process, Amar and Sri were exceptionally responsive and attentive. They promptly answered all my questions, addressed my concerns, and regularly updated the transaction’s progress. Their commitment to clear communication and transparency made the purchasing process remarkably smooth and stress-free.
If you’re looking for realtors who will go above and beyond to make your real estate dreams a reality, look no further than Amar and Sri. They are simply the best in the business.
Narayanan Suryanarayanan | Customer Engineering | Nexthop AI
This dates back to 2015, and the Bay Area housing market was no different in 2021. It was crazy!! We were driving through a community in Milpitas near the foothills, and we liked it. My wife & I said to each other, ‘The next time a house becomes available here, we should give it a shot!’ To our luck, a home came into the market the following week. We had read about Amar’s success stories before and reached out to Amar. It was one of our best decisions ever!!!
We visited the house over the weekend and fell in love with it. The house was beautiful, and several others loved it as well. Offers were scheduled for review by midweek, and we had to decide on the price.
While it was a crazy market, we didn’t want to overbid crazily. Amar & the team worked with us closely to determine the right price. Amar had also figured that it would be a very competitive situation. He worked with one of the established banks to showcase our financial strength and negotiated for a very fast closing.
Amar also suggested we write a personal letter to the sellers describing why we love the house. There were 11 offers (3 cash), and Amar helped us win the house, even though we had to take out a loan. There was a ton of negotiation, and Amar knew exactly how to win the home. He mastered this process and learned how to execute it flawlessly.
Once the process was over, our sellers shared that we won the house for three reasons: a very competitive offer, backing from the bank, and a very responsive Realtor (Amar). During the offer-reviewing process, Amar responded promptly, within minutes each time. – Sellers were touched by our letter. Although our offer was accepted, there was plenty of work to be done in the weeks that followed. Amar & the team were very organized and had lined up everything. From the mortgage application to the appraisal, to Escrow, to the final walk-through, they guided us through the entire process, making it easy.
Fast forward 6 years, and Amar still gives a ring and checks in every once in a while. He shares the latest market updates and offers expert advice on the dos and don’ts. Amar has not been a realtor but a fantastic real estate partner to us.

We worked with Amar and Sri to identify the potential zip codes that might offer what we seek. Sri particularly helped rule out some properties based on location, community, and neighborhood, among other factors. When we zeroed in on a property, Amar and Sri were very quick to offer their insights, pros, and cons of the home. Amar spent a couple of hours reviewing the property disclosures to understand the property’s general condition, identify any major issues, and determine any potential future costs.
The constant back-and-forth communication with Sri and Amar was extremely helpful in navigating the offer process. Amar, Sri, their lending, warranty, and insurance partners worked diligently to close the escrow in around two weeks.
Overall, I highly recommend Amar & Sri for their insightful guidance, thorough walkthrough of potential red flags, efficient navigation of competitive offers, and prompt escrow closing.
Thanks, Amar, Sri, and the rest of the team.

Amar and Sri transformed our first Home-Buying experience into a seamless and delightful journey. They exuded professionalism and dedication from the outset, always making themselves available and ensuring we felt at ease throughout the process. Their patience in addressing our questions and doubts was commendable, as they left no stone unturned to ensure we were well-informed and confident in our decisions.
What truly set Amar and Sri apart was their remarkable proactivity and swift actions at every stage of the process. Their ability to act swiftly enabled us to secure the best possible deal for our dream home. Their meticulous attention to detail shone through as they kept all parties involved – from the seller and lender to insurance, warranty, and escrow – informed, guaranteeing a streamlined process and preventing delays.
Their in-depth knowledge of the neighborhood and surrounding areas further proved invaluable, enabling us to make an informed choice about our new home. In Amar and Sri, we found not just Home-Buying agents but trusted allies/family members who went above and beyond to ensure a timely and successful closing.
Thanks, Nikhil
Naimisha Tummu | Software Development Engineer | Amazon
“We had a fantastic experience working with Amar and his wife, Sri. Our collaboration was brief because we were able to secure the first house we put in an offer on. Amar and Sri are strategic regarding where to invest and possess immense knowledge of which areas are booming and offer high ROI.
Thanks to Amar’s negotiation skills, we were able to get the house preemptively, avoiding the bidding war. They guided us throughout the process and even provided excellent references for home remodeling, home insurance, and other services. We worked with 2 other realtors before Amar, but neither is on par with Amar and Sri.
The service you get with them is simply top-notch. We couldn’t be happier and look forward to working with them in the future.”
Thanks, Naimisha

I am writing to express my gratitude to Amar and Sri for their excellent work in helping me purchase my home. Their professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail were truly impressive, and I am so grateful to have had them as my Realtors.
Amar and Sri’s assistance in finding the perfect home for me, along with their skilled negotiation tactics, was invaluable. Their understanding of the local market and their ability to navigate the complexities of the buying process made it a seamless, stress-free experience.
Additionally, I want to thank Amar for their help in finding the right lender for me. When our first lender fell through, they worked to find another lender that could offer a better deal. Their ability to adapt and find solutions quickly was remarkable, making all the difference in the buying process.
I highly recommend Amar and Sri to anyone in need of a Realtor.
Kiran Machhewar | Application Engineer | Google
We are proud of Bay Area homeowners, thanks to the guidance of Amar and Sri.
Both Amar and Sri are amazing to work with. Sri’s community knowledge has helped us decide which house to go for and which 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!
We are very grateful to Amar and Sri for helping us buy our first home in a nice and safe locality. I would recommend Amar Realtor for a smooth Home-Buying experience.

I enjoyed working with Amar and Sri when I decided to buy my new home. From start to finish, they demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and expertise, making the entire Home-Buying process a breeze. They possess exceptional market knowledge and a keen sense of which houses and areas to target based on our budget. They were always one step ahead, providing me with precise data points on every home that we considered.
What truly sets Amar and Sri apart is their commitment to their clients. They were not just my realtor; they were my advocate and my guide throughout the entire journey. They patiently answered my questions, whether big or small, and ensured I felt completely informed and comfortable with every decision. Their exceptional communication skills and quick response time kept me at ease, knowing I had a reliable partner.
In the process, we learned a lot from them. For every house we considered, they provided a detailed walkthrough of the house and its surrounding neighborhood, including its investment potential, commute, and several other aspects that would otherwise be difficult to gather. They would also tell us the price range to target for each area, which helped us understand the intrinsic value of the different regions relative to one another.
Amar and Sri were nothing short of remarkable when it came to negotiations and the nitty-gritty details of the buying process. They demonstrated a keen eye for detail, a deep understanding of the paperwork involved, and a knack for turning complex jargon into clear and understandable language. Their expertise ultimately saved me time, money, and stress.
Ultimately, they helped me secure my dream home at a competitive price. They turned what can be a stressful and overwhelming experience into a seamless and enjoyable one. I cannot thank them enough for their dedication, knowledge, and unwavering support.
Amar’s approach to the whole process was extremely systematic and well thought through. With a strong supporting team, Amar ensured that the Home-Buying process was seamless from start to finish. I wholeheartedly recommend Amar and Sri if you want to buy a home. Their passion for what they do and their commitment to their clients is truly second to none.
Amar and Sri are incredible realtors with strong, effective, and highly connected networks, as well as vast knowledge of the Bay Area market. They helped me understand the process of connecting with the right lenders and assisted me in closing the loan within two days after approval. This says a lot about their ability to mobilize different teams and manage time around buyer needs.
Amar has had a well-laid-out process from the beginning, which helped me prepare and make the right accommodations. An incredible feat is that I did not take a single day off in the entire closing process. Sri provides a good perspective and helps make objective decisions when selecting a home. She helped me navigate through different challenges.
Thank you, Amar and Sri, for being part of my Home-Buying experience. I look forward to working with you soon.

We learned of Amar and Sri through a referral. The last two months of working with them to purchase our first house have been a smooth and stress-free process. They were with us every step of the way, providing valuable inputs, guiding us, and connecting us with trusted lenders, insurance agents, and more. Both are profoundly empathetic and understand the constraints and concerns of first-time buyers, always taking the time to address them.
When we met Amar for the first time, he gave us a very detailed walkthrough of the entire Home-Buying process. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions – which he patiently addressed. Then, we had a call with Sri to review what we were looking for. She helped us clarify areas and types of homes we should focus on for our budget and needs. With this focus, we could quickly narrow down open houses and review with Sri. With our very first weekend going to open houses, we liked a place and wanted to proceed. Sri immediately acted on it – she went and walked through the house, checked out the locality, and so on. She provided us with a lot of valuable input on the location, home, and seller situation, which further convinced us to proceed with submitting an offer.
Overnight, Amar and Sri worked with us to submit a competitive bid. Since this was a desirable location in Mountain View, there was competition. Still, Amar could negotiate on our behalf and get the offer accepted at our bid price. From then on to closing, Sri Amar again had a clear process. Since the property papers weren’t ready, they asked us to bid contingent upon their preparation. Once the papers were available, Amar did a thorough walkthrough of the documents with us, explaining what to pay attention to. With his due diligence, we felt confident we had everything.
Along with other steps, such as securing a loan and obtaining insurance, Sri and Amar connected us with great lenders and contacts. Every one of their references was great to work with as well. Even for getting keys, Sri was particular that we have the seller walk through and give us the keys. This allowed us to speak directly with the seller and gain a deeper understanding of the property.
Shubam Murthy
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Amar and Sri, my realtors, to find a great investment property in this high-interest-rate environment, in the heart of San Jose. From the moment I first reached out to them, they took the time to truly understand my investment objectives and financial constraints, which set the foundation for a customized and creative approach to property acquisition.One of the standout qualities of Amar and Sri is their deep knowledge of the San Jose real estate market. They were able to pinpoint properties that not only met my investment criteria but also had the potential for significant future appreciation. Their insights into the local market trends were invaluable in helping me make informed decisions.Their innovative approach to financing set Amar and Sri apart in this purchase. They went above and beyond to explore various financing options to maximize my investment return. Their ability to think outside the box led to a financing arrangement that was both advantageous and unique to my situation. Their creative financing solutions enabled me to secure the property at a favorable price, and I am deeply grateful for their expertise in this area.Throughout the entire process, Amar and Sri were exceptionally responsive and attentive. They promptly answered all my questions, addressed any concerns, and provided regular updates on the transaction’s progress. Their commitment to clear communication and transparency made the purchasing process remarkably smooth and stress-free.
If you’re looking for realtors who will go above and beyond to make your real estate dreams a reality, look no further than Amar and Sri. They are simply the best in the business.

Your team definitely met and exceeded all of our expectations. It was very professional and transparent. Your reputation gave us great confidence in landing the house we wanted. In less than a week, you guided us to shortlist the house we should go for. Your website gave us all the information we needed to shortlist the house. You made the right arrangements to close on our house in 25 days, bringing in the best partners from local banks, home insurance companies, and home warranty companies.
The property presented additional challenges, but your team handled them well and consistently responded to our calls (multiple times daily) to help us feel at ease. Overall, you were the best we could have expected to support us through this process. We look forward to working with your team again.

From the outset, you demonstrated a profound understanding of the local real estate market, and your insights were instrumental in helping us identify properties that perfectly aligned with our goals.

Throughout the transaction, Amar and Sri displayed a professionalism that set them apart from other agents. Their attention to detail and proactive approach made the journey smooth and stress-free.
We must mention the exceptional extra mile you went to make this experience memorable, and the out-of-the-box solution you worked out when sellers put in the contingency and were about to retract. This was one of the unique skills that set Amar apart from others. From arranging property viewings at our convenience to providing valuable insights into potential rental yields, Sri’s commitment to helping us make an informed investment decision was evident at every step.
We are delighted with the property we purchased, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Amar’s and Sri’s guidance and support. We wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone looking to buy or invest in real estate. You are truly a top-notch agent, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome of this endeavor.
Once again, thank you for your outstanding service. We are looking forward to working with you again in the future.

Amar and Sri Amar are knowledgeable about the Bay Area real estate market. They were patient and took the time to understand our family preferences and priorities.
One of the things I appreciated most about Amar and Sri Amar was that they kept us on track by discussing the Pros and Cons of the properties/open houses we had visited or planned to visit. They also explained each step of the Home-Buying process in detail, which helped me feel more comfortable and confident in my decisions as a first-time home buyer. The Pre-Approval to Collecting Home Keys process was smooth, thanks to Amar’s excellent team.
Overall, I could not have been happier with my experience working with Amar and Team. They were professional and friendly. I highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a new home.

From the beginning, your structured approach and attention to detail put us at ease. Your knowledge and expertise were evident as you walked us through each step, from the initial open house visits to the completion of the offer. We always felt confident in the decisions we were making, thanks to your well-defined process.
Your entire team, including Sri, was incredible. Together, you all made the whole process feel seamless and unforgettable. We truly appreciate the dedication and hard work you and your team put into helping us find the perfect home.

We were referred to Amar by a friend who also purchased their home through Amar. Working with Amar and Sri on buying our home has been a wonderful journey. We started our home search a few years back – but the timing never really worked out for us. Throughout it all, Amar & Sri worked with us patiently as our criteria and preferences evolved.
Amar & Sri have incredible knowledge and a strong network in the Bay Area market – and all of that was very helpful for us as home buyers. Sri provided valuable insights into neighborhoods, home values, and what to look for. Amar connected us with everyone we needed to talk to for buying a home, including home insurance/warranty providers.
For properties we were interested in, Amar conducted detailed technical deep dives into home inspection reports/property conditions, advising us on whether they were worth considering. For our home, Amar worked tirelessly to prepare the offer, negotiate, and ultimately secure the property below the asking price, which is remarkable in the competitive Bay Area market.
Throughout this process over the past few years, working with Sri & Amar, what shone through was their honesty. There was never a doubt in our minds that Sri & Amar wanted the best for our family! We highly recommend them for anyone looking to buy a home in the Bay Area.
Ajay Girija Krishnanunni | Sr BSA | Nvidia
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 outlined a step-by-step approach to the Home-Buying process, which was both structured and understandable for newcomers to the real estate market.
Given the intense competition in the Bay Area real estate market, Amar and his team made the Home-Buying process much simpler than I expected. Throughout the entire journey, Amar’s professionalism and dedication were very evident. His extensive knowledge of the Bay Area market, combined with the network he had established, made the Home-Buying and closing process much more seamless and easier for us as first-time buyers. He ensured that we genuinely liked the home and took the time to explain the process, rather than making a rushed decision in this competitive market. He was friendly and patient, treating us like family.
Once the offer was made, Amar conducted appropriate negotiations to secure acceptance. After the offer was accepted, he and his team created an action tracker with milestones and the responsible person, which helped us easily understand the closing process and refer to it throughout.
Amar has a great network of lenders, insurance professionals, and other experts who were ready to help us in the best possible way, which made our Home-Buying process much easier.
Overall, I am extremely happy and satisfied with working with Amar and the team in my Home-Buying process. I highly recommend Amar as a 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.
Anuja Bawaskar | Software Engineer | Google
We were in the market for four months before we met Amar at an open house for one of his listings. We were having a difficult time with the house-buying process before we met Sri and Amar (we wish we had met them sooner). We decided to work together after the open house at Amar’s listing. Amar explained the entire process and transparently divided responsibilities for us, himself, and Sri.
We used to shortlist homes based on our criteria and send them to Sri for review. She would check the neighborhood details and either approve or disapprove the home. If approved, we would visit the home and assess its functional aspects. Amar used to review the technical aspects of the house if he got approval from Sri and us. This entire process was extremely streamlined, and communication was handled effectively via email.
Amar and Sri bought us the first house we put in an offer for with them! It was truly a dream come true for us. Given the competition, they were able to negotiate a favorable deal for us and help us secure a home in a desirable community with excellent schools.
Discussing our thoughts and concerns with Sri was reassuring- she was patient, realistic, and understanding. She helped us calm our nerves under high-stress situations. Amar did the magic in the backend with the offer presentation and negotiation. He has all the tools to convince and negotiate effectively. They also ensured a smooth closing process by leveraging their team. They are a power couple! We recommend them to anyone looking to buy in the Bay Area.
Naren Siva | Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer | NVIDIA
We were first-time homebuyers looking for a house in the competitive Bay Area housing market. Amar and Sri guided us from pre-approval through house search and shortlisting until we received the house keys. Amar and Sri are very knowledgeable in their work, and client satisfaction is their top priority. We were well-informed about the neighborhood’s home values and schools, which helped us make our selections. Additionally, Amar and Sri thoroughly inspected the house, ensuring we wouldn’t have to worry about any other major issues.
Amar is also well-connected to others, such as loan officers, Title companies, and insurance providers, who are necessary for the transaction. So the Home-Buying process is smooth. Amar is very good at negotiating and closing deals. Given all these credits, our Home-Buying experience was epic. We bought a house in record time, much sooner than expected. We are very lucky to have Amar for this important financial decision. Thank you, Amar and Sri.
Aravind Chandrasekaran | Product | Workday 
Amar and Sri are a great asset to anyone getting onto the homeownership journey. We started our Home-Buying process with a detailed conversation with Amar. He explained the end-to-end process to us and clarified the accountable parts. We were mostly held responsible for the home we liked before Sri shared her feedback on the homes.
As buyers, we often examine homes from a different perspective, but we 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 in making an informed decision about whether to make an offer. Amar goes above and beyond to get the home you are interested in within your budget. With Sri handling the communication aspect, you are always in the loop.
And the day came when we got a call stating the offer was accepted. I’ll never forget this day, and we were extremely 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.”
Ashok Annamalai | Software QA Engineer | Apple
First of all, a Big thank you to you and your entire team for making this happen. We don’t think this would have been made possible without you all. I was astonished by your sincere & diligent approach to every property we came across. You were very thorough with your research & your timely guidance helped me learn a lot.
I firmly believe that the experience and network you have built over the years have helped us get this property amidst a highly competitive Bay Area housing market before the offer due date. Simply put, you got the job done despite the numerous challenges, including a better offer.
As you said, completing this transaction is the beginning of a great relationship. I look forward to working with you on our future real estate endeavors.
Somasundaram Karuppa Gounder | Head of IT Application Operations | Digital Realty
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 make the closing process go smoothly. He was an instrumental and process-oriented person who thoroughly explained the Home-Buying process, including Disclosures and Reports, and guided us on various strategies. Amar is a skilled negotiator who consistently delivers results on time without compromising. 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.
Reetika Roy | AI/ML | Snowflake 
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 devoted efforts.
We initially liked the framework Amar suggested, which clearly defined the roles and ownership percentages 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 house from both technical and value perspectives and provide us with their in-depth insights. This was particularly useful for first-time homebuyers.
The process of viewing houses and submitting offers proceeded smoothly. 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 keep in mind when we looked at the houses. We appreciate how Sri encouraged us to look beyond our initial interests and showed us the value of properties we may need to consider. It was great to receive information about the long-term prospects of a property, which gave us the confidence to proceed to the next steps.
It was only during the first offer that we discovered Amar had performed a significant amount of manual work to prepare and submit it. 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 provide a detailed examination of the house’s technical aspects and walk us through 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 it was $ 49,000 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 highly recommend the Amar Realtor team to any of our friends who are looking to buy a home.
Shuddhashil Mullick | Data and AI Lead | Capgemini
It has been an incredible journey with Amar and Sri. We were referred by one of our family friends, who also helped. The journey started with Amar taking us through the entire process step by step. The finances, budget, EMI calculations, selection process, and eventually the closing process. He explained many new aspects we hadn’t thought of and was patient with our noob questions as well.
Amar handles the paperwork, finances, and coordination with Escrow, the Financier, Home Warranty, and all other parties involved in the process. He’s regular with updates and clear in communication. On the other hand, Sri has sound knowledge of every property, including its area, pros and cons, and resale value. Her input has been invaluable in eliminating options, most importantly.
The best part was Amar, and Sri was not ‘looking to sell’ but guided us through the journey and helped us make an educated choice. Also, ours wasn’t the highest bid, yet it was accepted thanks to Amar’s effective strategies!
They made the process seamless and educational!
Sagar Doddannavar | Functional Architect| Lam Research
With Amar and his team’s help, we closed on our first home. We achieved homeownership success in under 7 weeks after engaging Amar for our home search, which we could never have imagined. Our experience throughout this process has been extremely delightful and filled with learning.
To begin, our needs were determined solely by location and budget. Amar and Sri helped us understand the importance of community and the long-term value of any property we are interested in. It was easy to stray into being emotionally drawn to 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 of the loan process, and the advice from your team at each step was extremely helpful.
Amar’s negotiation skills left us spellbound. Securing a deal at a price significantly 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.
Abhishek Bhatnagar | Engineering Manager| Peloton Interactive 
Buying a home in the Bay Area is highly competitive and requires significant effort. We got some early guidance from Amar and Sri on our right areas. Once we found the right place, Amar and Sri completed it quickly and with precision. They helped us think through the offer strategy and kept us updated at every stage. They connected us with the right people and made it a pretty easy experience.
We are very happy with the outcome and couldn’t have done it without Amar and Sri! We highly recommend the Amar, Realtor team and look forward to working with them again in the future.
Karthik Sathiamoorthy | Analytics & Insights Manager | LatentView Analytics
We are first-time homebuyers in the United States, and the Bay Area is particularly challenging to buy a home in.
Amar’s team helped us navigate the process smoothly. We had a clear idea of the locality in which we wanted a home, and for everything else, we had Amar and Sri Amar. Their team provided a thorough, detailed technical appraisal of each property, highlighting details we would otherwise have missed. 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 for home buyers.
Anush Mohan Shet | Verification Engineer at NVIDIA
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 nose was out of whack. Amar connected me with a great lender who helped me obtain updated pre-approvals throughout the process.
I covered almost all available 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 that Amar is a good negotiator and witnessed his skills in my case. He negotiated such a great price that whoever I mentioned the cost to was awe-struck!!! 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 recall discussing Amar on our first Zoom call, as well as the picture of Krishna Arjuna (Parthasarathi and Partha) on the battlefield.
Analogy – I was like Partha. I continued to look for properties and completed the necessary formalities; that’s about it. But it was Amar, Sri Amar, and the Team who were the charioteers (Parthasarathi) of the entire process, helping me reach the destination.
I couldn’t have asked for more from Amar, Sri Amar, and Team.
Anirudh Amarnath | Design Engineer | Apple
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’s suitability for kids in its local area to home value appreciation, we were well-supported and informed.
Amar has a well-connected network in the Real Estate industry, which helped with financing, escrow, etc., and quickly put together a winning offer in multiple-offer situations. Amar spent sufficient time with us and reviewed all the disclosures/reports. We are sharing our Home-Buying experience to express our profound gratitude to Amar and Sri for helping us take such a huge step in our lives.

It is a pleasure working with Amar and the team. The Home-Buying process can be very stressful, but it turned out to be interesting and smooth thanks to the highly professional team at Amar. Amar, Sri, and the rest of the team work cohesively and communicate on time and as needed.
Amar and his team are very responsive and explain even the most minute details, going over the entire Home-Buying process, including pros and cons and the risks involved, depending on the client’s situation. His team is proactive in identifying any issues and helps resolve them.
Amar is very honest, straightforward, and understands client needs. He actually works in the client’s best interest. I highly recommend Amar’s team for their real estate services.

Amar Realtor team has a step-by-step process where Amar provides guidance over the inspection reports and detailed walkthroughs of the disclosures.
Sri helps you with the hidden aspects of the house, including the neighborhood, the property’s future value, and local schools. They were upfront about the buying process and greatly understood what it took to get into a home in the Bay Area market. What I found most helpful was their ability to dig in and provide clear answers, addressing 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. Amar and Sri were never pushy when we didn’t want to make an offer, and they shared effective strategies for bidding on the listings we wanted to purchase, which ultimately led to our current home. What blows my mind is how they could secure the house for us when there were better offers on the table.
Amar and Sri are also extremely resourceful and will go above and beyond their duties to resolve any issues that may arise during the home transaction, providing quick solutions. We found some broken glass on the day of closing that was not there when we previously viewed the house. They convinced the listing agent to have the seller fix it.
The duo is 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.
Amar went above and beyond to make our new Home-Buying process as seamless as possible. As first-time home buyers, we were able to get the home of our dreams. With Amar’s guidance and real estate knowledge, we gained critical details (E.g., the Contract signing process, home customization options, and our rights as buyers) that we would never have known otherwise. We were nervous and anxious about entering this process. Still, with Amar’s help, we walked away confident and extremely happy with our decision and home.
Amar works tirelessly to ensure his clients are completely satisfied throughout the process, putting your needs at the top of his to-do list. Throughout this process, Amar was super responsive and always available to answer our calls and respond to emails.
My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with him. We have recommended Amar to one of our close friends who is going through the Home-Buying process.
I started searching for homes in November 2021, but was unable to win any offers with other Realtors. 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 secure a $139K offer below the asking price.

The home search and buying process in the Bay Area could be overwhelming. Even more so for first-time home buyers!! We happened to be on the same boat. We wasted our time going to every open house listed on Redfin and Zillow. We wasted so much time just looking at houses and not knowing when to enter the market.
Pranay Reddy | Product Manager, Payments, Accounting & Billing
I can’t emphasize enough that “whom you work with matters.” I found Amar through the internet and set up a call with him. Amar was crystal clear about the buying process and responsibilities for getting us a new home from the very first call.
Once we were on board, Amar introduced us to Sri and set up clear responsibilities in the whole Home-Buying process. There was so much structure in our home search process, and it saved us a bunch of time and effort. Sri would help review the houses worth looking at, who we can’t thank enough – Sri has amazing neighborhood knowledge. Once we both liked the house, Amar would then do a deep dive into the home’s technical aspects.
The offer strategy and connections one has are very important in closing a house. Amar & Sri are known and respected by all agents we met in open houses. They made all the difference for us, given many competing offers, and helped us get our first home in the Bay Area housing market!!
Suppose you are in the market looking for a house. Look no further, as Amar & Sri will help you pick the best home and ensure you get it!!!
We have worked with Amar twice in the past five years. In 2017, he and Sri first helped us buy our first home. Then, in May 2022, Amar helped us sell that home as well. We have worked closely with Amar and his team, witnessing them identify, negotiate, and execute deals as both buyers’ and sellers’ agents.
Regardless of which group he represents, he not only sincerely looks out for the client’s best interest but also goes above and beyond to understand all stakeholders involved in the transaction and their respective rationales, interests/motivations. This deeper level of understanding enables him and his team to craft and negotiate the deal in a way that allows everyone 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, a staging team, and contractors who are highly skilled and seasoned professionals. He ensures that everyone has a clear understanding of the process and timeline. As first-time homebuyers and sellers, we have found this experience extremely positive. My wife and I highly recommend him for your real estate transaction.
Before diving into my experience working with Amar, let me share a brief overview of my experience with other agents. This was Apr 2022, and the bidding war was starting to cool down. However, most sellers weren’t ready to accept this.
I met with multiple agents and finally started working with one. We would visit open houses over the weekend, research the properties, and work on the offer with our agent. We sent out multiple offers where we were the sole candidate, yet we couldn’t close the deal. Many of them were later sold at a lower price. Frustrated and confused, we started exploring for other agents.
Amar was referred (very highly) by my colleague. A quick reminder to anyone reading this: Amar expects you to do your homework, so please take it as seriously as they will. After our initial meet-and-greet, Amar explained all the steps of house buying
and who would be responsible for what aspect of it.
We resumed our open houses over the weekend. However, this time it was a bit different. We would visit the homes, do our due diligence, and send the list of “interested” houses to Amar and his wife, Sri. Sri would then call us within a few hrs and walk us through the different aspects of the locality/neighborhood. We got a lot of insights, and instead of searching multiple cities, we quickly narrowed our search to a few neighborhoods (based on our preferences). Amar would then help us with further due
diligence, and we all would come up with the offer price.
Next is the offer and negotiations. I think this is where Amar excels the most. Sri and I figured out “what we feel is a good value for the property” (this was ~3% above the list price). The seller said they expected 11-12% above the list price and had a previous offer that was 9% above the list price. Sri called us to discuss the maximum we could offer, and we stood at our original offer with some minor tweaks. Sri never pressured us to increase our bid, but wanted to see how much flexibility Amar had in
negotiation (that we were about to learn soon).
We gave up on getting that house and set our minds to move forward. A few hrs later, Sri called to tell us that Amar had successfully negotiated the deal. That was about 80-100k below the seller’s expectations and 60k below the previous offer they received. Mic drop!!!
Amar secured this deal for us within two weeks of our collaboration. Once we went into contract, he shared all the key milestones and DRIs. After that, the complete process went smoothly.
We were first-time homebuyers with only 5% down. The biggest lesson we learned in our experience is that an excellent real estate agent is worth more than you think. Many agents have low fees, but in the end, they turn out to be more expensive for you.

We would be happy and proud to 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 impressed by his knowledge, patience, and systematic approach to the Home-Buying process. 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 prompt in giving input, which made the whole process thorough and efficient. She highlighted several key aspects, including return on investment, neighborhood, and affordability for each house, which helped us further narrow down 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. He explained how to estimate the impact of the issues listed in the reports on the overall condition of the house, repair costs, and other relevant factors. 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 first-time homebuyers like us often overlook but are crucial.
During the offer process, Amar and Sri discussed the fair price, contingencies, and other details, and continuously updated us on the discussions with the listing agent. Amar and Sri always have the clients’ best interests in mind throughout the process. They tirelessly worked for days preparing the best offer and negotiating with the listing agent, among other tasks. 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 grateful to them for their assistance 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 that you go with them for all your real estate needs.

Here is my story: We had heard crazy things, people waiting months, sometimes over a year or two years, to find a house where their bid was accepted. We decided not to get our hopes up. We knew it was a long and stressful process, so we decided to attend some open houses to see which kinds of houses my husband and I liked. We told our friends, who had recently purchased their home. Both of them immediately recommended Amar Realtor to us. We have explained how they helped them navigate such crazy markets.
After hearing such great things, we decided to meet Amar. We had a brief Zoom call where he explained in detail the home purchase process that would be involved if we chose to use them as our realtors. So, after our Zoom call and with new tools at our disposal, we began planning to view houses.
One weekend, we mapped out 22 homes to visit during open houses. We began by checking the times and map locations to see as many places as possible in one day. We made sure to give ourselves enough time at each house and time for a lunch break. (Not a bad idea to also pack snacks for those who might consider doing something similar). After that, we returned and spoke with Sri; we had shortlisted five houses from the 22. Among those houses, Sri helped us gain clarity on which property made more financial sense. From those five houses, Sri, my husband, and I both agreed on one property. We then decided to talk with Amar again. Who went into the specifics about the house? Then came the time to make a decision, and many questions arose: Should we make an offer? Where are we ready? Could we afford it? After a quick discussion between my husband and me, we decided to proceed and make an offer. Sri and Amar could help us navigate the offer and ensure we offered the right amount, so we could secure the house without overpaying.
Amar stayed up with us very late, reviewing disclosures and reports to ensure everything was in order and submitting our offer. It did not even feel real. Later that day, we got the call! It turns out our offer was accepted. It’s because of the working relationship with the listing agent. Now we were on track to be homeowners.
Sri was always available to take a call and help ease our Minds, and Amar would go a long way to do what needed to be done and make sure we felt good about our purchase. So, to all home buyers out there, you’ve worked with others and haven’t achieved the results you wanted. Whatever the case, I assure you that you will be in great hands and receive excellent care from the Amar Realtors Team.
Dear Amar and Sri, this would not have been possible without you guys. Thank you for all the help; you truly helped us turn a house into a home.
To all you dear readers, If you are so far here and would like to connect with Amar, please check out https://amarrealtor.com/
I would trust no one else with my properties than the Amar Realtor team.

Home search and buying process in the Bay Area can be very overwhelming, even more so if you are a first-time home buyer!!
We found ourselves in a similar situation when we began searching for our first home. We were initially clueless about the home’s location and the technical aspects to consider when we started our search. We ended up wasting a lot of our time attending every open house listed on Redfin and Zillow. That is when we realized we needed a strong realtor to find a home within our budget in this competitive market.
In our search for a realtor, we came across Amar’s profile online and contacted him immediately after reading numerous positive reviews about his connections and work ethic. Here, I can’t emphasize enough that “who you work with matters”. From the very first call, Amar was crystal clear about the responsibilities, buying process, and tasks we needed to execute to secure a new home.
Amar then introduced us to Sri (who we can’t thank enough – she has amazing neighborhood knowledge) and set up clear responsibilities for each of us in the whole home search process.
From then on, our home search process had a clear structure, which saved us considerable time and effort. Sri would help review the houses worth looking at, and once we both liked a house, Amar would conduct a deep dive into the home’s technical aspects. Once we are all on board with a house, we will discuss how to make an offer.
The offer strategy and connections one has are very important in closing a house, and Amar & Sri are known and respected by all agents. In fact, every agent we met at open houses knew and spoke very highly of them. With many competing offers, they made all the difference for us and helped us secure our first home.
Suppose you are in the market looking for a house. Look no further, as Amar & Sri will help you pick the best house and also ensure you actually get it.

Our experience as first-time home buyers with Amar & Sri
We recently purchased our first single-family home after waiting a long time and watching friends and family buy their dream homes. It would not have been possible without Amar & Sri.
Amar began with basic questions about our goal and the type of homes and lifestyle we were looking for. By the end of the call, we had a perfectly curated step-by-step process and a clear understanding of each individual’s responsibilities in the team’s Home-Buying process.
Our responsibility was to judge the house by its livability and how it fulfills our dream of having our own home.
Once we select the homes, Sri’s part comes in, where she guides us on important aspects of the house, such as the area, neighborhood, schools, community/Rentability, and, most importantly, the property’s future growth potential.
Once we get a green signal from Sri, Amar’s part comes, where he takes us through all the technical aspects of the house. Such as inspection reports/disclosures/county records/property title/house’s history, as well as other elements to ensure the house has no critical issues.
When it comes to the final part, where we all come together to 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 point to note here is that the final decision doesn’t involve any pressure, and our decision is straightforward and pure. 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 until the closing to ensure everything goes according to plan and expectations, and they even helped us secure 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 saw in Amar & Sri.
We recommend Amar & Sri if you want to buy your dream home in the Bay Area’s hot market without the pressure, with honest opinions.
Aditya Tirumalai Sundararam | Chief Product Officer | DataBahn.ai
It has been a very seamless experience working with Amar, Sri, and the team. Amar is extremely knowledgeable and was very structured, diligent, and accountable during the whole process.
We switched realtors and went with Amar, and we could see a stark difference between how Amar and team operated vs. the rest. From day 1, Amar and Sri took a “shared responsibility” approach towards helping us land our home. He was extremely clear about what sets buyers apart from the competition and helped us put together offers that made us clear favorites.
I would certainly recommend Amar and his team to anyone in the market to buy a house, especially first-time homebuyers.
Visveswaran (Vish) Sivakumar | Data Science AI Product Management | Intuit
I would absolutely recommend Amar and Sri to anyone in the housing market! As a first-time home buyer, I was fortunate to partner with Amar and Sri, who coached me and provided guidance every step of the way, making an otherwise arduous endeavor simple and manageable.
Not only did Amar and Sri assist me with the buying process in a highly competitive market, but they also helped me develop a long-term real estate investment strategy without compromising on the emotional aspect of choosing and buying a house. Amar and Sri are experts in this field, with extensive experience. They are very collaborative, creative, and responsive, and their ability to execute every stage of the process is unparalleled. I’m very happy to have worked with Amar and Sri, and I look forward to working with them again in the future!
Karan Sahni | Sr Group Director Product Engineering | Cadence Design Systems

Thank you, Amar & Sri, from the bottom of our hearts. The overall experience has been unbelievable & seamless.
The property:
This was a very unusual experience: Ashneet & I came across a property listed for sale with very limited access (no open houses) and hardly any supporting documentation to facilitate the purchase/sale.
We did our due diligence to the best of our ability; however, we needed an expert in the Real Estate industry who could assess whether this property was worth pursuing.
Initial Assessment:
We reached out to Amar & Sri. They have many years of experience and a spectacular reputation with their clientele!
From day 1, Amar helped us get the nitty-gritty details of the property (making sure everything is legit, legally, and has a clean history, and, of course, the property’s condition). In parallel, Sri guided us on the other aspects of the property (neighborhood, investment potential, and whether it aligns with our needs/family requirements). Amar requested a detailed report from the seller’s agent and handled it professionally to clarify legal matters and court judgments. The Sellers’ Agent is an Attorney and the son of the Seller.
Loan Process:
Amar/Sri has an army of team members they partner with, and they secured the best possible loan option, perfectly suited to our financial/budget requirements. Kudos to the flawless execution.
Offer ( Positioning, Negotiation & Success )
Once we were certain that this was the property we wanted to pursue, Amar was able to compile an offer within literally 2 hours. We submitted it around 11:30 pm that night.
We were amazed by the thoroughness and aggressiveness that Amar demonstrated.
In parallel, Amar was working his charm and convinced the seller to accept our offer within 24 hrs.
Any other Agent couldn’t even handle the nature of this sale for various reasons. Amar’s educational background and deep Real Estate experience made a significant difference in winning a great-value property.
Title, Escrow, warranty, and other miscellaneous tasks:
The entire team contributed to curating this process. The whole team was very thorough and professional. All participants demonstrated the same level of dedication/promptness while showcasing domain expertise in their respective segments. Amar Realtor team is a ONE-STOP-SHOP for Home-Buying!
We are very thankful to you and everyone else within your team. We look forward to working with you on many more real estate transactions!
Regards, Karan & Ashneet.

We worked with Amar and Sri to purchase our first home in San Jose, navigating a tough and competitive market. Amar and Sri are very methodical in their approach and explain all the phases of the Home-Buying process clearly and thoroughly. We were first-time homebuyers and had been in the market for a long time, as we had not received 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 on a new project and having mentors guide you throughout it.
After a couple of weeks of attending open houses, Sri helped us decide which house makes sense in various aspects, including future value, appraisal, locality/neighborhood, schools, and potential expansion options. Sri’s guidance helped us in making the right decisions. Amar is also thorough in reviewing inspection reports and all other documents related to the property, walking us through each detail, and addressing all our questions.
Amar and Sri helped us decide on the offer details and made the right decisions at the right time, which ultimately allowed us to win the house. We won the first offer we submitted to Amar. This was made possible by Amar’s negotiations, continuous efforts, and effective 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 his house is worth much more and has high buyer demand, and he wants to back off the sale.
Amar went above and beyond to provide us with all the necessary legal support and resources, ensuring we could 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 responsibilities to close 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.
Rohit Pujar | Senior Software Engineer | Microsoft
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 guiding us through this Home-Buying journey. As this is 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 through 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 were aware of your winning capabilities before making this offer, and we now understand what it entails. Come the offer time, and we could witness the craft and diligence of your trade.
We identified several distinctive aspects of your approach. You took the time to call the seller and explain the elements of our offer 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 diligence you showed in putting the offer together and in 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 resulted in considerable confusion on the backend, as multiple appraisals and lenders coordinated with realtors and escrow. Thank you for handling it swiftly and ensuring it did not 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 you did that. Your passion and commitment are unparalleled. When I asked you questions, you not only answered them but also addressed the source of the questions and pointed us to aspects we would have otherwise missed. So, a very heartfelt thank you.
Overall, we are grateful to have had the opportunity to cross paths with you. As we begin to establish our roots, you will always be remembered as the ones who made it happen—our heartfelt gratitude to you and your team.
Ajith Venkateswaran | Embedded Software, Robotics, Embodied AI | Wayve
My wife and I were already 5 months into our first home search in the Bay Area. We tirelessly toured every weekend, tried a couple of realtors along the way, and submitted around 5 offers during 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 considering moving to Seattle to escape the cutthroat competition in the Bay Area.
Fortunately, I met my relative, who has been working with Amar & Sri for almost 5 years, has bought multiple properties, and was introduced to Amar. Initially, we were a little concerned about switching to a new realtor, as we had already done so twice and weren’t sure if it was a good move to do it again. 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 impressions are the best impressions,” our first call with Amar was a fulfilling experience. Amar clearly explained his team’s home search process, which had well-defined steps, from neighborhood zooming to obtaining the home keys, with accountability assigned to each member, including us, at every step. It sounded more like a house search mission to me, and that was the level of clarity in their process. Without a doubt, both of us are committed to proceeding with Amar & Sri as our realtors.
We quickly moved on to the neighborhood, zooming with Sri. She made us feel comfortable before we jumped into our priorities. Sri immediately came up with the top three neighborhoods that met our needs. Something worth mentioning is her efforts to help us choose areas based on their potential for appreciation. Amar & Sri always did their due diligence in guiding us to make choices focused on long-term financial success. This unique skill is something I haven’t experienced with other realtors. Sri was well-versed in the neighborhoods and clearly explained why we should ignore certain properties and focus on others, even though their appearances weren’t impressive. In my opinion, these are the traits that add value to realtors when purchasing homes in the Bay Area.
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 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 returns to us with a clear summary of the existing issues and guides us in deciding whether to pursue them.
Once we are confident about the house’s technical aspects, we move on to the offer submission step—both Amar & Sri have strong networks 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 unable to visit the US embassy.
The seller’s agent wasn’t fully aware of the additional logistics required to close the deal with the seller’s signature. Amar took this to his advantage, as he had dealt with a similar situation from both the seller’s & buyer’s side multiple times. Even though our offer was among the top, the seller’s agent desperately sought support from buyer agents to help her close the deal without any issues.
Amar quickly began helping the seller’s agent by putting her in touch with a reliable escrow officer, as her attempts to get support from her escrow contacts had been 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 the conversations between Amar and the listing agents, Sri regularly updated us on 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 counteroffer. It was a nail-biting moment for both of us since we had never come this close to the offer stage with our previous attempts. I got an email from Amar, and I was completely shocked. At last, we saw the golden words “Congrats, we are in contract !!!”. Amar successfully convinced the seller’s agent to accept our offer, even though the agent had described it as “one of the most arduous negotiations in recent times.”
This is the moment we’ve been waiting for over the past 6 months, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the unparalleled skill and support from Amar & Sri. Their support didn’t stop here. They ensured we successfully closed the loan, despite anticipating a substantial appraisal gap. Sri made us proceed with multiple lenders to have a choice when there is an appraisal gap, and to our surprise, the appraisal came to the actual sale price.
Our home search process in the Bay Area is that having the right realtor is important. Amar & Sri, as your realtor, is the most important.
I look forward to working with Amar & Sri on our future real estate investments.

I want to say that buying a home is not simple, and it is more complicated than it is for first-time buyers. Having the right agent who can use their tricks of the trade in your favor can dramatically change your experience. I had briefly worked with a couple of other agents who claimed to get me the best home for the cheapest price, but I was unsuccessful.
I am sure there are many positive reviews about Amar and his team’s ability to accomplish unbelievable deals for his clients (getting an offer accepted even if it’s not the highest, thus saving them money). Well, my experience is a bit different: it is not just unbelievable, but simply MIRACULOUS.
The story begins with me searching for a house in the Bay Area on a meager budget. Yes, I soon realized that I underestimated two things: i) prices of houses in the Bay Area and ii) the market’s competitiveness with houses going $50-100k above listing price. 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 provided me with such detailed information, even after meeting them a couple of times. Amar has an IT background, which seems to have made him a very planned and process-oriented person. When Amar explained the planned approach to different owners at different stages of the Home-Buying process, it was easy to understand, as some IT project plans (I am from IT too).
The first step is to identify the houses on the market that appeal to you. Then Amar and Sri will do a technical (structural rigidity, clear title, violations or litigations, or any other critical issues with the house, etc.) and value analysis (good neighborhood, convenient shopping places, cultural fit within the area, school district, community, appreciation, rentability, etc.) on the house. They guide you on whether it is a good idea to pursue the house. 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. This was surprising, as many agents are more concerned with making the deal happen to earn a commission than with the client’s happiness.
Fast forward to my purchase: I had selected a few houses, and Sri explained why one particular house stood out as the best place to invest, both in the short and long term. We decided to make an offer after our due diligence. However, my budget still fell short of the competition in the hot market, so 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 giving up on buying a home. The next day, Amar called me and said that our offer had been accepted! I was happy for sure, but I was filled with questions: How did this happen? Why did the seller choose a lower offer? The answer to all that was Amar and Sri. They had created a solid profile for me, and 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 differs significantly from the RE-SALE transaction in many ways. Many Agents don’t have the skills to handle such a transaction due to its complexity, legal nature, and documentation requirements. This technically saved me $30k (the gap between my offer and the highest one).
All that was good, except for the risk of an appraisal gap. The appraisal came in, and there was a $30k gap. Let me take a pause here and remind the reader of this review. Many of Amar’s clients have said he helped them secure the house they wanted, even though their offer wasn’t the highest, so this is something he has done repeatedly. What he did for my case totally blew my mind! Amar negotiated with the sellers to reduce the purchase price by the amount equivalent to the appraisal gap!!! Note that this is after the offer is accepted and we are in contract. When he told me this over the phone, I was not only ecstatic but also filled with the same questions: How? Why? Is this even possible? The answer to all these questions was Amar’s behind-the-scenes efforts. 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, and I was well within my budget, so I no longer felt financially stretched. This was nothing short of a miracle. My whole family and friends who knew about the deal were pleasantly surprised and impressed by Amar’s ability to make miracles happen for his clients.
It is important to note that reducing the purchase price impacts Amar’s earnings from the sale. Yet, Amar pulled off this miracle without thinking twice about his own income.
The next steps in the process were document-heavy because a Relocation company handled the transaction on the seller’s side. In such cases, there is a significant amount of additional documentation involved. Amar took all the load and came to me just for signatures. All I did was sign throughout the entire process.
Amar has a team of lenders, home insurance agents, home warranty agents, and others who contact you at the relevant steps of the process to gather your details and make their documents available to close escrow on time. I shopped around for all these services and ultimately chose the ones from Amar’s team because they offered the best cost-benefit ratio. They also remain in sync with Amar on the purchase’s progress and ensure their side is aligned for a timely close of escrow.
Surprisingly, I have not met Amar/Sri or anyone from their team in person, yet they have executed a miracle!
I hope this review is helpful to those embarking on their Home-Buying journey!

Amar and Sri did a wonderful job of making our dream come true. Our Home-Buying journey was hindered. With every step of the way, with every difficulty we faced, Amar was there to help us out.
Sri’s exceptional knowledge of Bay Area neighborhoods and 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 we wanted, we didn’t have much room to negotiate over the asking price. Amar skillfully handled the offer negotiations, and we finalized a contract on a Sunday night at 11:30. Amar and Sri are completely committed to their clients and work tirelessly in their best interest. I am glad to have partnered with such a team for our first home.

We are pleased to have come across Amar and Sri, two 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 owners of a single-family home, a rare and difficult achievement in the Bay Area. They explained the step-by-step process for getting a house, which was very clear and gave us the confidence to make an informed 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 every stage of the process, explaining what was happening behind the scenes—from obtaining a strong pre-approval letter to closing the loan. The backend team also streamlined the process, making it smoother and faster, enabling us to complete the loan in under three weeks. The guidance from Amar and Sri, from start to finish, helped us understand what to look for when purchasing a property.
Amar and Sri view the property from different perspectives and analyze it in distinct ways. Sri gives us an honest opinion on the property. Their go-ahead was very important to us, and it gave us the confidence to submit an offer. The entire process was smooth, making us feel very comfortable.
We would be happy to refer any of our friends who are buying or selling a home.

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 homebuying process. 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 among us. This call showed us a great process and helped clarify all our doubts.
Sri discussed the localities in our budget and the pros and cons of each area in San Jose with us. How could we narrow our search to find a great house that’s both value-driven and livable? This was a crucial step in helping us find great properties and saved us a lot of time. It was clear that both had considerable and very valuable experience in this field.
Their process of conducting due diligence on the structural aspects of the house and on its value was thorough, providing us with a comprehensive view of the home we wanted. We were informed of all the information regarding the home. We bid on a home and got our offer accepted on the first bid without a counteroffer. Amar made this magic happen with his Agent networking and reputation. Once the offer was 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 recommend availing yourself of the expertise of Amar and Sri in your Home-Buying journey!
Aayushi Agrawal | Business Intelligence Engineer | Intuit
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 homebuyers, and they guided us through the entire 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 strong professional network and a well-structured team, and their sole intention is to get you the best deal.
Before meeting them, we visited random open houses, unsure of what to do. In our first call, they focused on understanding our requirements and budget. They helped us select the best locations for our house search and recommended the most suitable investment options. Sri discussed the pros and cons of each property we liked, which helped us make a more informed decision.
We finalized our dream home in a prime location within 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.

Our Experience working with Amar and Sri in buying our home.
We were looking to buy our home and soon discovered that we were in a highly competitive market. We worked with another realtor before coming to Amar. We attempted to bid on a few homes but were unsuccessful. After months of frustration, we reached out to Amar.
Amar was both warm and professional and scheduled a video call with us to understand our needs. He presented the process thoroughly and in detail, providing a clear understanding of every step. One of the things that impressed me right away was that Amar clarified our responsibilities and his. He defined how both parties should collaborate to achieve the optimum results. Amar also provided us with several examples of how he advised his clients and achieved outstanding results.
After that, we worked with Sri Amar to find the home. Sri was amazing in providing us with valuable insights related to our needs, such as the kid-friendliness of a particular neighborhood and the pros and cons of the school. She showed us a perfect home that met our needs and was instrumental in our decision to buy the house. Her feedback on the neighborhood, the property’s value, and her guidance on planning for the future were invaluable in helping us make 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 the advantages, and being very patient while we made our decision.
I would also like to mention that Sri guided us throughout the loan approval process by tracking our progress and providing guidance at every step. She spent considerable time with us, providing detailed information on interest rates and helping us select 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 highly recommend reaching out to Amar for a professional yet very personal approach to your Home-Buying experience. I also recommend taking their advice from a very experienced and honest perspective.
Himanshu Agrawal | Engineering | Omnistrate
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 24/7.
Amar and Sri stayed on top of everything and ensured the buying process was as smooth as possible. It sounds unbelievable, but we got the house thanks to Amar’s negotiation skills and 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.
Priyanka Umesh Pandit Tailapur | SDE2 | Amazon Web Services 
We are extremely grateful to Amar and his team for helping us make our dream home a reality. 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 extensive knowledge in the real estate industry. Whenever we liked a property, Amar and Sri helped us understand its true value and what the neighborhood looked like, and made 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 the Bay Area despite many competitive offers. We are very thankful to them and would happily recommend others to work with an amazing team.
Veeramanohari Suvasubramanian | Semiconductor Validation Engineer | Google
Our Home-Buying experience with Amar and his team was extraordinary, not once but twice. He and his team are very experienced and professional.
When we bought our first home six years ago, Amar secured our first accepted offer in a highly competitive market, with 15 other offers. His team was so perfect in closing that. We moved into our home exactly 1.5 months after meeting Amar. With the same confidence level, we had spoken to Amar two months ago about finding our second home. As expected, he and his team did fantastic work, and we closed on our second house last week.
Sri regularly followed up with us on all updates and provided firsthand information about the houses we were considering. It significantly reduced our effort and time. Though it’s not new for us, we were surprised by their proactive efforts. With Amar and his team’s help, we were able to get the house of our dreams in a highly competitive market without any stress.
We highly recommend Amar, Sri, and his team to our friends and others seeking their dream home.

First of all, I would like to congratulate both of you on your successful journey as the Bay Area’s most renowned realtors. I see your ads and holdings everywhere, and it gives us absolute bliss to be associated with you.
The Home-Buying experience has been great for us overall. As newbies, we didn’t have much understanding of what to look for or expect when buying a home. You guided us well and provided a wealth of knowledge on various areas, which helped us choose a suitable home. Today, our house has a good valuation, and we are very happy with the area, which suits our needs.
I would definitely recommend you to any new homebuyers looking for great guidance, and I look forward to working with you on more transactions.
Santosh Rao | Traffic Engineering | Apple
I had been looking to buy another house for well over 2 years. I had seen the glowing reviews for Amar earlier and thought they sounded too good to be true. I went with multiple other agents and lost many bids – until we chose Amar and Sri.
The very first house we made an offer on has become ours! I wholeheartedly now say that countless other reviews have noted that Amar and Sri are 100% the best agents. They can help you fulfill your Home-Buying deal in this competitive seller’s market!
Amar and Sri guide throughout the process, starting with the value of different neighborhoods and houses. Once you pick “the” home, Amar and Sri give you the best strategy for making the offer. Amar’s team is thoroughly involved, and once you enter into a contract, the team springs into action to secure the best rates, insurance, closing times, and everything else. After obtaining the home keys, Sri reviews all the steps to ensure the new home lives up to the dream.
Grateful to have found and gotten help from Amar and Sri, and you should benefit, too!

We began searching for a house for several reasons. 1. Good investment
2. A place of our own to start a family.
3. Why pay rent when you can pay the same mortgage and have your own house?
We obtained Sri/Amar’s contact information from a friend who recently purchased a house (the place looks fantastic now) and set up a couple of calls. I liked how these calls went: there was a process outlining what we were looking for in a house and what Sri and Amar would bring to the table. It established clear accountability regarding how the house vetting process would proceed.
It made especially clear that whatever house was finally approved would need everyone’s approval (Is it safe? Is it a good investment property? Are there any structural or foundational issues we need to look out for?). There was no way we would budge on quality. That’s the kind of confidence you want to start with. Clear, well-defined standards were established early on, and we knew we were in good hands. They were responsive and helpful throughout the process(What areas are coming up soon?)
What are the best zip codes in the areas we are looking for? etc.) and understood the minds of first-time buyers like us. The process was smooth, and in the end, we walked away with a 25k discount from the builder. Amar/Sri, thank you for your dedication and sincerity. Teamwork makes the dream work!

We had been looking for properties many years ago, but they never materialized due to unforeseen circumstances. We thought we would give it another try this year, and I wasn’t expecting much. When we first spoke to Amar on the phone, we knew he would be our realtor. He said it with such confidence and clarity regarding investment properties that there was no turning back for us.
During our phone conversation, he informed us of all our options and allowed us to choose. If we had doubts, he was always there, honestly answering our questions. We liked that aspect of Amar. Once we told him we had selected a property for the offer, he also asked us to look around, compare, and then decide. He didn’t rush us.
The property we offered faced serious competition, and we should say that Amar is the best negotiator! I couldn’t believe that, amidst all the offers, we managed to make it, and that too at a price we wanted.
The entire process was smooth and swift, all done within a month! If there was any issue, Amar and his team addressed it immediately. Ram felt extremely confident and calm under Amar’s guidance.
Chaitanya Kumar | Senior Staff Software Engineer | Intel Corporation
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 us get a good mortgage from a trusted lender. After selecting our dream house, Amar reviewed detailed disclosures/reports to ensure there were no red flags.
Amar helped prepare the offer and convinced the seller’s 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.
Naveen B.N | Software Engineering Technical Leader | Cisco Systems
Buying our first home took a lot of time. Finally, frustrated, I gave up and bought a new construction home a few years back. The whole process (search, bid, fail, repeat), putting a deposit on new construction, and waiting for it to be completed took 18+ months.
I wanted to work with Amar for my first purchase, but it didn’t happen for some reason. Fast forward a few years, and I got the opportunity to connect with Amar & Sri. Both offer very different perspectives and give you a really good idea of 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 helped us get 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 the right people, magic happens. I recommend working with Amar and Sri.
Mayoor Rao | Senior Principal Engineer – Generative AI | Oracle 
Amar and his team are the best things that can happen to home buyers. As first-time buyers, we had no idea what the process entailed.
Sri and Amar guided us at every step, be it vetting the property, explaining the property’s true value, or not letting us get carried away by upgrades to the house. They do not subscribe to a one-size-fits-all approach.
Sri took the time to understand our family and our needs. This helped her point out details we overlooked, which we could have 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 ensured the rest of the process went without a hitch.
Manivannan Chithirasen | Software Senior Principal Engineer | Dell EMC
I recently purchased a home through Amar and Sree. If you are seriously interested in buying a home, I think Amar and Sree are the best !!!
Amar and Sree have extensive knowledge of the property, including its location, schools, and structural condition. I liked the way Amar went through the structural report, explained every line, and provided a comprehensive overview of the property, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses. Amar and Sree are good at making the right offer, negotiating, and closing the deal. They finished the deal at less than 40k .
My wife was in India at the time of purchase. Amar worked closely with escrow and helped me obtain the power of attorney documents from India by providing the required sample apostille for recording and closure. After the purchase, Amar sent the document with all the utility contacts, which made my job easier and ensured a smooth transfer.
Thanks, Amar and Sree, for the great home !!
Shreyas Srinivas | GPU Architect | NVIDIA
Thank you, Amar & Sri, for guiding us every step of the way and helping us buy our dream home.
Amar & Sri went above and beyond in every possible way to help us secure the home.
They orchestrated every step towards closure, a masterclass in flawless execution.
We toured the home on a Sunday afternoon and let Amar & Sri know of our interest in moving forward. They immediately started working on it and submitted our offer at midnight on Sunday. Amar made sure all the due diligence was done and did a deep dive of the disclosure documents with us for 2+ hours until midnight. We were amazed by their commitment and execution speed!
Next, it was Amar’s unparalleled negotiation skills that made sure our offer was accepted. It was almost like magic! Amar did an extraordinary job of presenting our offer. He convinced the seller that we would close the deal quickly and efficiently.
Once we were under contract, Amar put together a timeline for the tasks involved. He put us in touch with the experts in every area (Lender, Home Insurance, Home Warranty, Escrow ). Amar introduced everyone, who was amazing, and we realized that Amar had carefully chosen the best of the best professionals to help his clients.
Amar & Sri’s careful planning and methodical execution helped us close the deal on time. They ensured the entire process was hassle-free. Also, being first-time home buyers, we were clueless about the whole process. Amar & Sri were always available and answered all our questions with utmost patience.
Thank you again, Amar & Sri!
Rohit Gottam | Senior UI Engineer | Splunk
As a first-time home buyer, I was overwhelmed by the entire Home-Buying process. I reached out to Amar. Given his online reviews and status as 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 really well for us. After the initial conversation with Amar, we were introduced to Sri, who took us through the entire process and hand-held us to the end line. We were totally novices when it came to what to look for when buying a home, and we trusted that Amar and Sri would help us make the right decisions along the way.
Sri was always ready to talk and explain to us about each step and the background negotiations that were happening between Amar and Seller Agent. Sri understood the first-time buyer anxiety really well and has sometimes taken more than an hour explaining to us why we took the right step. The knowledge and passion she has to help her clients is really amazing. Amar was very good at reviewing the disclosures and explaining each issue with the home, and suggested that we not spend money immediately on all the repairs recommended in the inspection report. Amar helped negotiate 40k worth of savings for us.
I would suggest that anyone looking for a home go with Amar and Sri, and trust that you are in very good hands.

Hi Amar,
Words cannot convey how much we appreciate your expertise throughout our home purchase and sale.
Amar, your warmth and interest in us took all the trepidation out of purchasing and selling our home.
You made it an absolute pleasure by taking us through the process step by step and documenting it well. It was amazing to see everything come together. We are thankful for your guidance and support throughout the buying and selling process, from start to finish.
You are the best, Amar! We feel privileged to have had you as our real estate agent.
We are endlessly grateful for your hard work and expertise. If any of our friends or family ever need an agent, we will be sure to send them your way.

Amar/ Sri and team are excellent, prompt, and the best in the Bay Area. Amar and team are a whole ecosystem for real estate buying and selling. The astute expertise and prudence that he brings to the table are unfathomable. He has represented me as a buyer and seller; needless to say, I had great confidence that I was in good hands.
The strategy, execution plan, key milestones, and updates from Amar/Sri and the team make the process flawless. Every step is a win-win situation for the buyer/seller.
Amar and Sri are a one-stop solution for the house-buying process. Once we selected the home that met our preferences and priorities, Amar and Sri helped us understand its value and finalize the bid price. Amar’s/Sri’s negotiation skills and agent networking helped us get the home. Amar’s team helped us smoothly and quickly process the paperwork to reach the closing milestone on time. It doesn’t end there. Amar and the team will help you with the paperwork after you buy the home, too.
I would recommend Amar/Sri and his team if you want to close the deal quickly in this hot market.
Nagesh Cheedella | Staff Technical Program Manager | Google
We purchased our first home with Amar & Sri, and we had an awesome end-to-end experience. After being unsuccessful with a few other realtors, we got Amar’s referral through a mutual friend, and in the first two interactions, we felt we had made a good step. We had 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, and investment locations, and they have a wealth of experience in both selling and buying homes. Amar is extremely well-connected with realtors and has a lot of respect in the real estate community, which is the key to our success in the market.
Amar & Sri have changed our thinking about Home-Buying and made us rethink from scratch, and devised a strategy after understanding our needs. If we can clearly communicate our requirements and expectations to Amar & Sri, as a client, we just followed their lead, and the results were evident.
A good buyer agent is not someone who gets the home a client needs but who stops buyers from making mistakes. Amar & Sri certainly have this as a top quality, and they protect their buyers from making mistakes. A mistake in a house purchase will become very costly and take multiple years to recover from. Amar protects his clients from expensive errors like these.
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 you succeed. The behind-the-scenes connections between agents matter a lot. This is a key reason we were not successful before, but were 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 to help 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 have done for our family. We are very grateful to have you as our mentor, guide, and support system, and for helping us fulfill our wish to become homeowners in the tough Bay Area market. Thank you!!!!
Nishchith Bhandary | Edge to Cloud Transformation | HPE
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 complements Amar’s technical experience by bringing her knowledge of the location, neighborhood, value-to-money, home ROI, and more. There is no sugarcoating the truth; 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 felt more like a therapy session, putting our minds at ease throughout and making the 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.

We are happy to come across Amar and Sri, two 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 owners of a single-family house, which is difficult in the Bay Area. They explained the step-by-step process for getting a home, which was very clear and gave us the confidence to make an informed 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 the scenes, from getting a good pre-approval letter to closing the loan. The backend team also streamlined the process, enabling us to complete the loan in less than three weeks. The guidance from Amar and Sri, from beginning to end, helped us understand what to look for when purchasing a property.
Amar and Sri look at the property from different perspectives and analyze it differently. Sri gives us an honest opinion on the property. Their go-ahead was very important to us, and it gave us the confidence to make an offer. The entire process was smooth and made us very comfortable.
We would be happy to refer any of our friends who are buying or selling a home.
Sandeep Shenoy | Wireless Systems Design Engineer| Broadcom
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 homes, locations, and neighborhoods, and provided 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 secure a competitive offer.
Our overall experience, from selecting the home to closing, 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.
We recently bought our first single-family home in the 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 at every step.
Our responsibility was to judge the houses on their living spaces and whether everything inside checked all the boxes on our wishlist. From there, Sri and Amar ensured all other aspects were covered. Sri worked to make us aware of the area and ensure we got value for money. Amar then reviews all the inspection reports and ensures that all technical aspects of the house are covered. Buying a house with Sri and Amar is a one-stop process. Other than making sure you like the home, you have pretty much everything covered, from mortgage to home insurance to home warranty to escrow closing. Being totally new to the housing market, we couldn’t believe we got the house with our first offer.
Another great thing about Sri and Amar is their quick responses. Buying a house in the 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 a 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 patiently explained things and made sure we, as buyers, were protected.
Overall, it was an A+ experience with Sri and Amar.

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 first step and talk to Amar. The rest is history! Right from the very beginning, Amar & the team did a thorough job of explaining the process and stood by it until 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 questions were answered swiftly and patiently 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 provided us with many options before we zeroed in on our home. We have found that Amar & Sri keep their clients’ 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 with. Their Outstanding attributes are professionalism, personality, attention to detail, responsiveness, proper guidance, and the 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 impossible task, especially in the Bay Area, but it’s only possible through Amar & Sri. If you are buying or selling a home, do yourself a favor and hire Amar and Team!!

We reached out to Amar (via a friend’s referral) after unsuccessful attempts to get home, as another agent had outbid us. After reaching Amar, he laid out a plan of execution and a perfect strategy. He is a one-stop solution for the house-buying process. Once we selected the home that met our preferences and priorities, Amar helped us understand its value and finalize the bid price.
Amar’s negotiation skills and agent networking helped us get the home. Amar’s team helped us smoothly and quickly process the paperwork to reach the closing milestone on time. It doesn’t end there. Amar and the team will help you with the paperwork after you buy the home, too.
I would recommend Amar and his team if you want to close the deal quickly in this hot market.

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 takes the time to listen to you and your needs. Not only does he clarify all the questions we have about what to consider when investing in a property, but he also draws on his depth of real estate experience to coach and guide us in our thinking about the attributes to look for in an investment property.
Once he understood our needs, he introduced us to a fabulous team of lenders who wasted no time in securing a thorough pre-approval for 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 shared enough information about the homes we identified, but what we appreciated most was that Sri never overwhelmed us with details. She always kept us focused on our task.
Other realtors so well respect Amar and Sri. 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 an offer, Amar jumped back in and worked his magic to make our offer get signed the 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 the insurance agent to the title company to the warranty. They worked diligently to close our home in 20 days.
Amar and Sri were in constant touch with us throughout this process via email, but they were just a phone call away if we needed them. To sum it up, we could not have made our first real estate investment without Amar and Sri. Having worked with other realtors in the past, we are confident we could not have done it this quickly without them. We hope to have multiple successful ventures with them in the future.

We want 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 that, Amar personally follows through on each step of the process to ensure smooth execution and support after closing the contract. In our case, Sri helped us lock in the neighborhood and walked us through the key factors to consider when selecting a home, based on our family’s needs/likes. 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 the entire process ran smoothly, working with lenders, seller agents, escrow, home warranty, and 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 the best service for their clients.
Manu Basil | Analog Design Engineer | Texas Instruments
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 won the house for us with the right strategy and negotiated a very good deal.
Both Amar and Sri have been personally involved in all areas of the Offer process and the following Closing process. Amar connected us with his network of great professionals for Mortgage loans, Insurance, Warranties, etc., which significantly reduced closing time. It has all been smooth sailing thanks to Amar, Sri, and Narayan.
Nupoor Kotasthane | Sr. Software Developer | MongoDB 
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 alongside us throughout 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, the process experienced unexpected highs and lows. 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, it was an immense delight to see our dream house and finally get it. It’s an 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 for guaranteed victory. Thank you, Sri and Amar, for supporting us through this ride, one we will forever remember!
Padma Duvvuri | Principal Engineering Program Manager | Adobe
Amar helped us close a beautiful home in the Bay Area. The diligence in digging into the disclosures was timely in relieving us. The negotiation strategy helped us get our dream home in a very short time.
The recommendations for plans with/ the property helped us see the future value. Finally, communication with the other party helped us stay on track and meet the closing deadline.
Thank you, Amar.
Vikash Raja Samuel | Senior Engineer | Atlassian
It was a wonderful experience buying a home, and we chose Amar & his team as our Realtors. What sets them apart is their clear understanding of who is responsible for each step in the Home-Buying and closing process.
Amar & Sri have a wealth of information about the locality, saving 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 ensure the requirements are met. Because they have a wealth of experience, they can also dissect inspection reports, the house’s fair value, etc., and choose a suitable location/home.
Bonus points for negotiating with the Seller’s agent and getting the job done in a highly competitive environment with multiple offers. We highly recommend Amar & the team for your Real Estate needs.

Faced with challenging market conditions (due to low inventory and heavy buyer competition), challenging financial constraints (tight DTI ratios, down payment constraints), and demanding personal situations (unexpected emergencies causing delays), only Amar and Sri can pull off such an excellent investment property purchase for us in the Bay Area.
Buying a property as an investor brings in a unique set of hardships that I did not experience when buying our primary home.. Once we zeroed in on the right property with strong appreciation potential, Amar got to work negotiating and closing at a great price in a short time. With the contract in hand, Sri and Amar advised us on creatively putting together our down payment, connected us with the right lender that funded the purchase with a great rate (before rates went up), and communicated with all parties involved, including the seller’s side, right up to the finish line. Sri and Amar even went the extra mile to recommend all cosmetic updates to make the property rentable and increase its value.
The buying experience has been eye-opening for us, and we cannot imagine having bought this without their guidance and help. Amar and Sri are truly Power Players with a humble attitude, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy the right property in the competitive Bay Area.
Narayan M
Sri, Amar, and his team have superior market knowledge, deep negotiation skills, strict adherence to processes, and professionalism, all combined in one package. Sri and Amar know the Bay Area market extremely well, down to the block-by-block level, and the impact our investment will have on appreciation over the next few years.
Our situation was unique due to the Coronavirus; when shelter-in-place was starting to take effect, we were looking for an investment property, and the property we were interested in allowed only online bidding. Sri and Amar were quick to adapt their approach to suit these unprecedented times. Amar knew the right price for the property, bid online with others to win at a price below market value, and established immediate connections with the seller to close the deal.
Amar has a strong team of professionals, ranging from loan agents to insurance agents, to guide the buying process to completion with complete certainty. Although the property had some pending personal litigation, Amar and his team handled it, with no involvement from me, to secure closure and fund the loan.
While Sri, Amar, and their team have a well-established process they execute to perfection in the Home-Buying process, I’m very impressed with their adaptability to the COVID-19 situation. When sellers were pulling properties out of markets, buyers were backing off deals, and lenders were tightening mortgage lending standards, Sri/Amar got me the home I wanted at a below-market value in a breeze. We highly recommend them for buying your first home or investment property.
Bala Ramachandran | Product Management/Strategy Leader | Equinix
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 clients, providing clear accountability at every stage of the Home-Buying process.
Sri provided deep insights into the value of specific homes and correlated them with factors such as neighborhood, schools, location, scope of appreciation, and rentability, helping provide a convincing and objective comparison of the 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 ensure 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 compelling offer and help us magically win the home amid an extremely competitive market with multiple offers.
Beyond the buying process, Amar and Sri also work with an expert group of professionals whom we can leverage for various associated needs, such as home insurance, warranties, property management, etc. They go above and beyond in clarifying every aspect, even after purchasing the home, forming a long-lasting, trusted relationship with us.
Overall, Amar and Sri are an awesome, winning couple and one of the very best we have seen in the industry, and we strongly recommend them for your Home-Buying needs!
Shinoy Bhaskaran | Sr Engineering Manager | Zoom
Thank you very much, Amar Sri and the team. This entire process has been highly seamless and so quick that I have to pinch myself to realize we are HOMEOWNERS now :).
Sri, I should appreciate your patience and providing compelling answers to all our questions. I am sure Amar has put in double the effort to crack this deal, making it all look so easy for us.
I don’t know if I can call all this a blind trust and faith we had in you. I am so happy and highly recommend your Real estate Services.
Thank you, team, for making our first offer the last.
Parth Shah | Senior Software Engineer | NVIDIA
Amar and Sri make a fantastic Home-Buying team. Amar is an excellent negotiator and closer. Sri offers incredible insights into everything that goes into choosing a home.
For first-time homebuyers, especially in a fast-paced market like the Bay Area, having both on our side was a real advantage. We felt confident in the home-searching process. We still remember having thousands of questions that were answered truthfully with accurate data, hand-holding us all the way.
Amar negotiated $40k in savings and discounts on our new construction home! Both Amar and Sri went above and beyond to get our house, which checked all of our requirements. We are extremely grateful to have found them and to have them help us buy our first home!

We had been looking for an ideal home for over 2 years and met Amar through one of our family friends, which significantly changed our approach to house hunting. I have seen and experienced several great things in working with Amar. He was very focused on sending us only listings that were very relevant to us. He has an excellent network with builders and other realtors, which helped in getting information beforehand. His deep relationships and credibility with builders and lenders have helped us in getting deep discounts, free upgrade,s 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 in making the right decisions by presenting clear facts when we were undecided. He gave us ample time to make thoughtful decisions and never hurried or pressured us into making quick decisions.
His negotiation skills, guidance, and team are bar none. He is available ALL the time by phone, email, or in person. He stays on top of every process to give THE BEST Home-Buying experience.
I would definitely recommend him anytime for any real estate needs. Thank you, and Awesome job, Amar !!!
Hemalatha Marimuthu | Senior Staff Software Engineer | Renesas Electronics
Amar and his team made our dream of buying a house real. Because of their hard work and team effort, we were able to buy our dream house. Amar got the BEST DEAL in the market. He is PERSONALLY involved in ALL areas (Loan, Escrow, and closing). He helped us select our perfect house for our family’s needs.
We just showed Amar the house we liked and rest of the things his team took care. His team stayed on TOP of EVERY activity throughout the entire process to ensure the end goal was accomplished as smoothly as possible.
The whole process of buying a house went smoothly over a few weeks, and now we enjoy our new home. We really want to thank Amar and his team for making our dream house a reality.
Chandra Chebrolu | Principal Engineer | SK Hynix Memory Solutions America Inc
“One and Done!” is a common phrase for one of the vaccines during this pandemic. But for me, “One and Done!” aptly describes my Home-Buying experience with Amar and the team.
A friend of mine referred me to Amar to help me with my first Home-Buying process. After our first introductory meeting, Amar started the process right away.
Amar and Sri’s deep knowledge of the neighborhood and expertise helped me shortlist a few houses in my chosen area. When the offer time came, Amar and Sri kept me informed of the current market conditions and offer dynamics to help me make an informed decision.
Amar helped me get my dream home on my first attempt in the competitive Bay Area market. The right Realtor makes all the difference.
Amar and Sri personally handled every step until I moved into the home. Thank you, Amar and Sri. I couldn’t have done this without you!
Charan Teja Pullareddygari | Senior Manager SAP Technologies | Exelixis
My name is Charan Theja, and I am a client of Amar.
When we say the name Amar, we are not just referring to a Realtor; he is someone who guides us through the entire Home-Buying process as a friend and well-wisher.
As a first-time homebuyer, I was so clueless about where to start and how to begin. Amar guided me through this whole process, just like a teacher to a kindergartener. He explains all the steps straightforwardly, making you feel like 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, and Amar answered each one patiently.
When I went to see my home, Amar arrived 30 minutes early and inspected the house inside and out, as well as 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 detailed cost estimates for the remodeling, 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 wife, Sri, ensure we have the right expectations for the property and neighborhood. They help you decide whether the home is suitable for your needs. They stop us from making the wrong decisions. I am a living 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 above and beyond to get you your dream home. I recommend Amar to my friends for any real estate needs.
Gaurav Gupta | Senior Technical Lead | Cisco
Sagar Rathod | Senior Software Development Engineer | Ciena
I want to thank Amar and Sri for making our dream of buying a home come true. 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 about a property we share, which is a big plus in this time-sensitive, 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 negotiated a deal against all odds and won us our dream home. Even though our offer was not accepted on the first attempt, Amar’s negotiation skills and persistence in speaking with the listing agent helped us reconsider it. It was unbelievable to learn that our offer was chosen, even though it wasn’t the highest. It was great to have Amar and his team on our side.
After our offer was accepted, Amar streamlined the whole process. 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.
Manjushree Shetty | Software Engineer | Infosys
Dear Amar and Sri,
First of all, we would like to thank you for making our dream home come true now. As we move forward with this dream, we just wanted to share our experience to help other home seekers.
As first-time home buyers, we had a zillion 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 complements Amar’s technical experience by bringing her knowledge of the location, neighborhood, value-to-money, home ROI, and more. There is no sugarcoating the truth; 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 felt more like a therapy session, putting our minds at ease throughout and making the 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. We hope to stay connected with you both and work together again in the future.
Gayathri Thirugnanasambandam | Staff Security Engineer | Twilio
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 each property was worth pursuing, including pros and cons, for each one I sent her. 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 pin the house quickly.
Amar’s extensive knowledge, negotiation skills, 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 seller’s market. I highly recommend Amar and Sri!
Narayanan Suryanarayanan | Customer Engineering | Nexthop AI
This dates back to 2015, and the Bay Area housing market was no different in 2021. It was crazy!! We were driving through a community in Milpitas near the foothills, and we liked it. My wife & I said to each other, the next time a house becomes available here, we should give it a shot! To our luck, a home came into the market the following week. We had read about Amar’s success stories before, and we reached out to Amar. It was one of our best decisions ever!!!
We visited the house over the weekend and just loved it. The house was beautiful, and naturally, several others loved it as well. Offers were scheduled for review by midweek, and we had to decide on the price.
While it was a crazy market, we didn’t want to overbid crazily. Amar & the team worked closely with us to determine the right price. Amar had also figured that it would be highly competitive. He worked with one of the established banks to showcase our financial strength and negotiated for a very fast closing.
Amar also suggested we write a personal letter to the sellers describing why we love the house. There were 11 offers in total (3 cash), and Amar helped us win the house, even though we had to take out a loan. There was a ton of negotiation, and Amar knew exactly how to win the home. He mastered this process and executed it flawlessly.
Once the process was over, our sellers shared that we won the house for 3 reasons: – Very competitive offer + bank backing – Very responsive Realtor (Amar). During the offer review process, Amar responded promptly, within minutes each time. – Sellers were touched by our letter. Although our offer was accepted, there was plenty of work in the weeks that followed. Amar & the team were very methodical and had everything lined up. From the mortgage application to appraisal to Escrow to the final walk-through, they babyfed us the entire process, making it super easy.
Fast forward 6 years, and Amar still gives a ring and checks in every once in a while. He shares the latest market updates and the dos and don’ts. Amar has not been a realtor but a fantastic Real Estate partner to us.
Udhaya Rajeswari | Preschool Teacher | KinderCare Education
Great Thanks to Amar, Sri, and the Team
We have no words to express our gratitude to Sri and Amar for helping 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 at every step and made us feel very comfortable as we found 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 are honest, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We have an excellent experience working with them. We highly recommend them to anyone considering buying a new home. Subbu & Udhaya
Devaraj Kavali |Sr Principal Software Engineer | Oracle
I want to thank Amar and Sri for their efforts in helping us find the perfect home in a pleasant, well-suited 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 for the first time. He explained the process very clearly, including the steps involved, and Amar and Team executed it perfectly. 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 on the spot, based on the situation on the offer day, and has made our dreams come true.
Amar has outlined different stages and timelines throughout the process. He flawlessly executed all the steps well before the timelines we had set. Amar is involved at every stage, from loan pre-approval and underwriting to 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 with the team to get loan approval, and they promptly responded, offering the best interest rate in the market, along with excellent additional benefits, thanks to Amar’s influence. Amar helped to get the best insurance quotes and made us close the deal with fewer closing costs.
Amar and Sri are always available to guide us throughout the process and make it very smooth. I would highly recommend contacting Amar for a great Home-Buying experience with the best deal.
Home-Buying in today’s market is a tremendous challenge, as you have to overcome multiple obstacles, including choosing the right home and location, competing with other buyers, making an offer, and more. Yet once you accept the offer, there is a long series of tasks leading up to becoming a homeowner. So it’s a super-sonic journey, with many parameters to fall into place for you to become a homeowner.
This is where Amar, Sri, and his entire team come in as saviors. Amar and his team were recommended to us by our relatives. We had a very peaceful experience crossing all these obstacles. Amar and his team are very professional and work in a very time-bound manner. They ensure that all task owners complete their tasks on time, as timing is very important in this Home-Buying journey.
Amar and Sri have been in this industry for several years. They are very sure of what they need to do and ensure that we, as clients, have a successful, peaceful, and excellent Home-Buying experience. I would highly recommend Amar and his team to any home buyer going forward!
Pramitha Nagaraj | Senior Physical Design Engineer | Chromatic
“Always an engineer at heart, I appreciate it when expertise and well-defined processes are followed in moving forward continuously, towards achieving an end goal. Amar and Sri did exactly that in pursuit of our goal of finding a home. Right from engagement, I knew what the whole process was and the stakeholders for each milestone.
Milestones takes much of the guesswork out of the already frustrating process of buying a home in the Bay Area. Our only job was to identify a place we liked based on our buyer preferences and priorities. Sri ensured our home search was well-directed by vetting suggestions and identifying potential areas to search.
After sign-off, Amar works his magic, leveraging his years of experience while maintaining an excellent feedback loop. Long story short, we got our offer accepted rather quickly, with a few disappointments before the due date. It’s a terrific task in the Bay Area housing market.
I sincerely believe that Amar & Sri’s experience contributed to it. I can, without any doubt, recommend Amar & Sri in helping achieve anyone’s homeownership goals.”
Raghavendran Hanumantharau | Senior Director, Software Engineering | Salesforce
Hi Amar:
First of all, we’d like to thank you and Sri for your utmost professionalism and competence, which helped us close on our home. While we have been working with other realtors, the reason we chose you for our current property is
(a) Your strong recommendation by word-of-mouth from friends and family,
(b) Your utmost rigor and structured way in executing the deal,
(c) Your timely updates, and
(d) Your expert market awareness.
Your due diligence in sharing the disclosures, painstakingly going through the disclosure documents page by page with us, providing a walkthrough of every aspect of the property, representing our interests to the client promptly, following all procedures, and generating correct documentation despite the execution timeline, etc., all helped us close the deal.
Thanks again for all your professionalism and support!
Saikat Kundu | Principal Software Engineer | Lead at Yahoo
We decided to work with Amar after reviewing his great Zillow reviews. He exceeded all our expectations. We were proud homeowners within a month of our house search. As first-time home buyers, we had many questions about the process, location, and price.
Amar and Sri patiently answered all our questions. In the first meeting itself, Amar presented a clear plan for handling the entire Home-Buying process. He helped us understand that there are many aspects of the house we need to consider beyond appearance. In this multiple-offer market, getting an offer accepted is one of the most challenging tasks.
Sri helped us get quick appointments to tour the houses that we were interested in. When we informed Sri that we liked one of the houses, Amar reviewed all inspection reports and disclosures to ensure there were no red flags or major repair costs after buying the house. They provided honest opinions on every property we selected. Now comes the most challenging part of how much to offer for the home. Sri helped us a lot by suggesting a price that will improve our chances of getting the offer accepted and ensure it’s within our budget.
With multiple offers on the house, including cash offers, the seller was planning to go with counteroffers, which could have raised the price even higher. At one point, we had already lost hope. But Amar convinced the seller’s agent that our offer was among the best, and it was accepted. I don’t have words to thank Amar for his hard work and effort.
Amar and Sri were very friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout the Home-Buying process. We made the right decision to work with Amar and Sri.
Uma Maheswara Rao | Director of Engineering | Cloudera
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 requires deep market knowledge, connections, the right strategy, negotiation skills, and being at the top in all of those areas. Within two months, we could win the house, and that’s just my second offer.
We should highlight that Sri Amar helps clarify all our doubts throughout the process. From the moment you accepted the offer, you executed the plan quickly, and we never felt stressed throughout 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.
Rishit Lakhani | Solutions Engineering Leader | Nile
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 was the best realtor we had spoken to. He was very thorough in his process and explained all our options. We started seeing houses regularly, and Sri helped us understand the pros and cons of each.
Finally, within four weeks of our house search, we put in 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 we wouldn’t go over our budget. He also provided extraordinary support during the closing process.
We were first-time home buyers, so everything was new for us. He gave us a step-by-step guide on what needed 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.
Wow!!! Amar and Sri are the best realtors. I am a first-time homebuyer in the Bay Area with limited knowledge of the real estate market. I started off very vaguely, with the budget being the priority.
The first virtual meeting with Amar was very comfortable; he explained each step in detail, listened to what I needed, and gave me pointers on what and how to decide about a property. Within a week, we were able to get an awesome property in a good area, a good neighborhood, and good schools, all 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, honest and true professionals with a personal touch. They have good knowledge about the Bay Area and are experienced.
I would highly recommend Amar to anyone considering buying a home. If you want a peaceful, transparent, honest, and happy Home-Buying experience, Amar is the guy.
Thank you, Amar and Sri you made our own home dream come true.
Firstly, I wanted to thank Amar and his team for their efforts in helping us procure the right home in the right neighborhood …
Overall, it’s been a fantastic experience …
Amar closed us the BEST DEAL…
I didn’t feel stressed out throughout the process… Amar handled everything for us…
1. Perfect execution
2. Winning the home with the RIGHT & BEST Strategy ( we were able to seal the offer with a lot of competition)
3. He was involved in the process personally from the beginning; once I said to him I want this home and he liked it very much
4. Overall, he lists down the steps to buy houses, how much his(agent’s) responsibility and our (buyers’) responsibility are, and everything is methodically organized.
If any of you out there are looking at this, I am not exaggerating … you will definitely know once you start working with Amar.
Thank you Amar and team for going above and beyond a mile for helping us a place that is a home for us.

We feel extremely happy to have worked with Amar and Sri Amar throughout our 1st home purchase. Amar’s efficient execution and teamwork not only helped us close the deal at a great price but also ensured the entire process was smooth and timely, despite the unexpected minor hiccups. We recently learned that the respective comps are selling for 100k more than we paid for them.
Hansini Venkatesh | Internal Audit Manager | Applied Materials
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.
Akhil Choran Balan | Lead iOS/MacOS Developer | Apple
Thanks a ton, Amar and Sri, for helping us get our dream home. We sincerely appreciate the care and attention you provide, from guiding us to the right home to helping us move in. It is our pleasure to share our Home-Buying experience.
We started looking for houses through online portals, which led us to Amar’s profile on Zillow. After reviewing multiple online platforms, we chose Amar as our Realtor. We contacted Amar by phone in October 2020. Amar promptly answered our call and scheduled a meeting for the same day. He explained the Home-Buying process to us in detail. We were impressed during the first call by how thorough he is and how he laid out his plans. We knew that we had chosen the right person.
Sri explained the market in detail and how we should select the homes. She was familiar with the area and understood the value of homes there. 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 focus on the home’s interior; it is equally important to consider other aspects of the house.
Once we found our dream home, Amar was at the forefront, making a strong case for our offer, while Sri worked with us and walked us through everything we needed to know. Given the number of offers that the home had, we weren’t expecting to win the bid. However, to our surprise, Amar called to inform us that our offer had been 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 best mortgage rate for the home. The insurance agent, the home warranty agent, and the escrow agent, among others, were all quick to jump in and help us. Amar’s team helped us close the deal within 3 weeks, even during the pandemic and the November holiday season. Overall, the entire process took less than 1.5 months. Amar was keen to follow up with everyone involved in the 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 aspect of the activity. They were engaged at every step, and the entire process was transparent. They were readily available whenever we called them. We highly recommend Amar and Sri for your whole Home-Buying process, especially for first-time homebuyers.

When I enquired in my network for a Realtor® I could count on to help me buy a dream home, a few names came up; among them, Amar and Sri stood out. 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, and willingness to go the extra mile to help first-time buyers like us.
Saravanan Balasubramaniyan | Software Engineer, SPG | Apple
It’s my first time working with Sri and Amar for buying investment properties. I had the down payment for two properties, but I was not entirely sure about 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 connections with the agents’ networking and reputation. Amar convinced the listing agent that I was the best buyer and made my offer appear to be all-cash. He was able to negotiate the best deal for me despite a higher offer.

Shyju Kozhukkunnon | Data Analytics Lead/ Solution Architect | Apple 
Amar is a master negotiator. Once he is convinced of a price and submits an offer, he will go to great lengths to get it accepted. He is very persuasive and talks to the point. He has a great team working with him around the clock to take the offer till closure and beyond.
Vikas Das | Tools and Automation Engineer | Apple
We were recommended 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.
Ketaki Haldipurkar | Lead Product Designer | Intuit
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 get the best home”. That feedback held true. We bought our first home with the help of Amar and the team. It took us literally one weekend of shows, and two days later, we had won our first bid ever.
Sakthivel Srinivasan | Network Engineering | Nexthop AI 
I have heard excellent reviews of Amar and Sri from some of my close friends over the years. I finally got the opportunity to work with Amar and Sri when I was in the market to buy an investment property in the Bay Area. They had been very supportive and available throughout the process.
Praveenkumar Kadabgere | Senior Engineer | Apple
We want others to know the beautiful experience we had buying our home with Amar and his amazing team. They helped us buy our house 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.
Thank you for everything.
Abhishek Set | Architect | Yahoo!
One of our achievements in the process of buying our first real estate in the US was to select Amar and Sri. We decided to contact Amar without any reference, so there was an initial hesitation to connect, but we took a leap of trust and talked to Amar. We developed trust in Amar over time by observing his ability to get our work done. We are delighted to see the results that Amar delivered to us. After the initial call with Amar, he took our problem as his own, and that was one of the great things we liked about this whole process.

Hi Amar/Sri, Before we start to talk about the exceptional Home-Buying experience we had with both of you, we would like to thank you for helping us find our first home wholeheartedly!
Ram Elango | Data Engineering Lead | Illumio
I wanted to buy a property in Fremont. Amar explained to me the Home-Buying process and our roles and responsibilities. I started shortlisting the homes I liked, and Sri helped set up the in-house visit schedule with the seller’s broker. In a couple of weeks, I was able to finalize a home and update Amar and Sri.
Vinodkumar Lakshmipathi | Senior Software Engineer | Netflix 
We firstly want to thank Amar, Sri, and the 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 to mind first. Listing current home:
My wife and I were introduced to Amar in February 2020 by an acquaintance who had previously worked with him. Even before the first discussion, we got a really good sense of his expertise from 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 to us and saved us valuable time. Then we were put in touch with Sri Amar, who has a wealth of information about the locality and background. 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 choice homes we were interested in. She guided us on aspects we didn’t 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! Through many timely discussions with Amar and Sri, we were able to pull together all the info needed to secure a good offer!
The fact that our offer was accepted despite better/cash offers on the table is a testament to Amar’s negotiation skills (a total of 13 offers). He fought for us so passionately, even when we had given up hope, demonstrating 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 points of contact reacted accordingly so we could close on time! He and his team also kept us in the loop on all decisions, really ensuring we worked together. Even after closing, he continued to support us with key contacts for locksmiths, utility changeovers, security, etc.
In the end, it worked out for us 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.
Kunal Sahu | Technology & Business Leader | Included Health
From our very first conversation with Amar, we could feel the difference between him and the other agents we have been working with. Amar came across someone with in-depth knowledge of the Bay Area real estate market and who knows how to win under pressure. He was very, very cooperative in understanding our requirements and guiding us through various areas. With multiple setbacks, we had very little hope of buying it in this aggressive market.
Amar assured us that he would do his level best, and there is nothing to worry about. He has a calming presence that soothes the buyers and gives them peace of mind. A couple of days after submitting our offer, to our surprise, Amar came back to us with our offer accepted!!! We are the winners of a fierce competition (10 offers), and our offer is not the highest.
Amar worked really hard behind the scenes and added that personal touch in negotiating the deal for us. Besides, he was at the forefront of every stage of the Home-Buying process and saved a lot of money. Staying on top of things, he also made us understand the various aspects of being a homeowner. 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. The amount of stuff he manages to get done is remarkable. One has to meet and work with him to understand and experience it truly. Basically, Amar is a really nice person and lovely to work with. He has his heart in this profession and brings a human touch to his work. I can’t recommend Amar’s contribution enough in helping us fulfill our dream of homeownership.
He is a ROCKSTAR!
Amar & Sri are a great team. They are the best Realtor® if you are serious about the housing market in the competitive Bay Area. We have worked with them multiple times now, and every single time they beat their performance!
Sri is very knowledgeable about the housing neighborhood and always comes up with excellent locations. She has spent several years in the prime market and has a great knack for suggesting areas.
Amar is very professional and thorough throughout the 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 gotten 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 it to anyone who is looking to find their home and make their dreams come true.
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 got 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 won the house. Both Amar and Sri were easily accessible, and just an email/call/text away.
As first-time home buyers, we needed a lot of 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 secure 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 to ensure our success, so we do not have to worry about anything. In my opinion, it was a perfect execution, and I would highly recommend Amar and Sri.
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 whether it was the right decision to buy a house amid the pandemic and the 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 that it is important for sellers to close the house as quickly as possible.
Sri helped us find our perfect home. She guided us in finding a home that meets our current needs and will be a good investment for the future. We realized that there is much more to a home than newly remodeled cabinets and a 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 we were looking for, and Sri gave us the green light. Amar explained the house’s disclosures to us very well. 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 at the list price, which was 30K less than 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 to appreciate all their efforts in helping us find a beautiful home.
Manohar Bhati Mura | Database Analyst at Catalyst Family Inc.
My name is Manohar; I never thought I could have my dream home in the Bay Area with a 5% down payment and in a good neighborhood & school district. Then my friend introduced me to Amar & Sri. Amar walked me through his 5-step process; I was very impressed with it.
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 negotiated superbly, using an effective strategy to secure our offer’s acceptance.
Our whole family is very much thankful to Amar & Sri. We want to give 5 5-star ratings to Amar & Sri’s work in the following areas:
1. THE BEST DEAL Negotiation by ALL possible means
2. PERFECT EXECUTION of the process
3. Winning at HOME with the RIGHT STRATEGY
4. PERSONALLY involvement in ALL areas of Home-Buying
5. COLLABORATION in informed decision making
6. PROCESS GUIDANCE throughout the Home-Buying PROCESS
7. Staying on TOP of EVERY activity in the whole process to make sure the end goal is accomplished as smoothly as possible.
8. FOLLOW UP after we moved into a new home to check if we need any help.
Samarpita Roybardhan | Molecular Biologist | Melio
My husband and I had a great experience working with Amar and Sri. We were looking for our 1st home in the Bay Area. As first-time home buyers, we were extra cautious in our search for a Realtor® who could help us on our journey to find our dream home. That’s when we came across Amar and Sri. We just contacted them through Zillow, and we immediately received 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 throughout the process, from market research to closing. He emphasized teamwork and ensured everyone’s contribution was on time to close on our dream home.
Sri would discuss every house we came across in the market and point out its pros and cons. She was always so cheerful yet very technical. She patiently worked with us to choose the right home based on its value. She went deep into understanding exactly what we are looking for and aligned with her vision of what we should be looking for, in terms of property value, its locality, and other technical aspects.
Amar and Sri did a wonderful job explaining the initial disclosure and eventually helping us put together a good offer. He did a fantastic job negotiating with the seller, thereby keeping everyone happy. They were personally involved in all areas viz. Escrow process, Loan, and closing. It was sheer teamwork and their experience that helped us to finish the entire process from finding the right home until close within 22-23days.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Sri and Amar, and we would highly recommend them.
It has been a great experience working with Sri, Amar, and their team. Starting by making us comfortable by easing into the process and ensuring we adjust to our pace, when needed, and thrusting the necessary force to make things happen says a lot about their team’s experience in providing clients with a unique experience and still delivering.
A lot has been said in the recommendations about the negotiation skills that Amar brings to the table. I can confirm that, but I can also add that the thoughtful planning he puts into it gives him the time and effort to bring out a multitude of options from his playbook to ensure the best for your client.
Amar has been very clear throughout the Home-Buying process. In our first meeting, 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 had.
They made sure we completely understood and were 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 into making sure we were buying the right home for the best price. It gave us so much confidence in our decision to Buy a 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 responsibilities to close 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.
Manisha Prabhu | Talent Sourcer
Our Home-Buying experience with Amar, Sri, and their team was excellent. From our first appointment, Amar explained the whole Home-Buying process to us, and we knew who the stakeholders were at every point. After finding a home we liked, Amar and Sri helped us navigate the entire process, from visiting the house safely and on time to closing the sale.
We trusted Amar’s team as we moved forward with the loan process, warranty & insurance, and all the steps involved. Each person exceeded our expectations in helping us through the process. It was a one-stop solution for all Real Estate needs. We were able to buy our first home within 4 months, and we thank Amar, Sri, and his entire team for the fantastic help!
Nithin Dev Bandakka | Senior Director R&D | Synopsys Inc
I met Amar at an open house a couple of years back when I was casually looking around dwellings. He came across as a very simple, down-to-earth person, very approachable. At the beginning of 2020, we got serious about buying a home and decided to go with Amar as our agent. I am glad I got to work with Amar and Sri. Sri guided us a lot, particularly on location, and provided feedback on the pros and cons of each house we looked at.
Our Home-Buying process was during the COVID-19 pandemic, and for every tour, Sri made sure we had a safe slot to tour the houses. This was particularly important for us as we had a toddler. Amar can WIN the home before the offer due date without competing with other offers.
Amar has a well-structured set of milestones for a buyer to follow, which helps us anticipate what’s next. They also ensured that once closing is done, we would finish the transfer of utilities, etc. Overall, I am glad we chose Amar and Sri as our Realtors® and am looking forward to working with them in the future.
Maitri Patel | Clinical Data Management Associates II at Gilead Sciences
We cannot express how thrilled we are to have Amar and Sri by our side on this fantastic journey to buy 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 there would be an expert to provide us with the right guidance.
Sri has guided us on several occasions in making the right decision when choosing a home in a prime location where home values appreciate. Amar has helped us review the disclosure documents and explained them 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 dreams. Amar and his team were always available to answer any questions. They were a great help throughout the Home-Buying process, from obtaining pre-approval to receiving the house key.
Buying a home is a big decision, and the entire process can 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.
Tapas Mohapatra | Director, Site Reliability Engineering, Cloud & Kubernetes | Box 
This is about Amar and Team, who were instrumental in making our dream of becoming proud first-time home buyers in the Bay Area come true. In my whole review process, I want to highlight the dates as it’s highly important to look at the effectiveness, planning, process-driven, speed of execution, and the result-driven team that any buyer would like to wish for it.
It was on December 14th that I first learned about Amar from a listing and decided to click the button to reach out. To my surprise, he responded promptly, and we had a brief conversation about my Home-Buying situation. It was then the Christmas Holiday week where no one works, Amar was kind enough to work late on a Saturday (Dec 22nd) late evening to meet us for the first time and explain the Home-Buying process literally from A to Z as we knew nothing.
On Sunday, Dec 23rd, without caring about the holiday or Christmas break, he drove all the way to be with us to see a home I had messaged him about the previous night. We liked the house and decided on Sunday, Dec 22nd night to offer, and informed Amar by email late Sunday, Dec 23rd. From here on, the most amusing parts of how Amar and team made this happen, all during the Christmas Holiday.
Home Offer and Acceptance: Unlike other agents, Amar always puts himself in the buyer’s shoes and conducts thorough analysis/inspections before accepting any offer. He formed a dedicated team and performed all necessary checks, including location analysis, comparable analysis in the area and direction, litigation, and various technical evaluations. He discussed all of that with us and defined a clear plan and execution process. Hence, we completed everything and decided to offer on Monday, Dec 24th. He worked closely with us, guided us through the market in the area, the value of the home in 6 months vs 3 years, and so on, and we were amazed by the level of knowledge and information he provided to help us decide the best offer amount.
Throughout the offer preparation process, while he has a quite different style of making the offer, he always made sure we had a plan B and a plan C to act on, which gave us a lot of confidence. Amar’s negotiation skills are phenomenal. He continued working with the seller’s agent after submitting the offer, negotiated the whole deal, and effectively convinced the seller’s side to accept it, making it happen for us.
Yashwanth Konduri | AI/ML manager | Zoox 
Thanks for your great work in helping us find the right home, Amar, Sri, and the team. Sri has helped assess all the homes and helped us understand the pros and cons of each house we were interested in. Thanks for establishing a safe environment for visits during this pandemic.
Amar, you were absolutely fantastic at negotiating the house price, getting us the home 30K below the highest bid. Thank you both for guiding us throughout the entire Home-Buying process. You were available at all times on any day necessary.
Thanks for clearly establishing goals for each individual and driving the strategy to achieve them. It has been a pleasure working with you, and I hope to work with you again soon.
Laxmi Pati Director, Technical Program and Portfolio Management | U.S. Bank 
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 the 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 that would take several meetings with any other Realtor® ( in my opinion and experience).
Once we decided on the budget and location with Amar’s input, the formal, professional process began with Amar’s team, led by Sri Amar. Sri Amar is immensely down-to-earth and understands every aspect of Home-Buying, just like Amar.
Sri Amar ensures the homes are filtered to our preferences. There were instances where I would ask Sri Amar if a particular home was 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 on our current home very aggressively during the holiday season (December). We are traveling internationally. Sri/Amar ensured they worked very closely with the sellers and us, negotiated aggressively, and secured a good deal for us.
After winning the offer, we executed the next steps optimally until we received 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 a seamless Home-Buying experience, now you know whom to go to 🙂 Sri and Amar Realtors®. Thank you, Sri and Amar.
Nithya Shivamani | Senior Software Engineer | Microsoft 
When we decided to purchase the home, we had many questions about the process. We met Amar at the Palo Alto office. Amar guided us through the steps of the Home-Buying process and gave us everything we needed to get started. He has an excellent team that works tirelessly throughout the Home-Buying process.
As first-time homebuyers, we are always curious about the process and had a lot of questions. This is where Sri Amar comes into the picture. She patiently listened to all our concerns and advised accordingly at each stage of the Home-Buying process. These questions ranged from how zip codes attract a premium, to how Sri answered school districts and the bidding process, etc.
Amar and Sri Amar would let the clients conduct the property survey independently. They never forced any opinions on the house and were very patient until we functionally like the house. Once we like, they go through all the disclosures and patiently explain everything in detail. On the offer date, Amar worked with the lender and put forward a competitive offer on the table, and got the property that we call our home at a great deal. These were the times when “Shelter-in-place” was announced in CA.
During “Shelter-in-place”, there were delays in appraisals, and Amar kept the seller’s agent and others in the loop. We were in the housing market for less than a month, and Amar helped us to get the property that we would call our home. We were more than happy about closing the deal. Throughout the process, we had great interactions with Sri Amar, who provided valuable insights.
We are extremely pleased with our Home-Buying process and our association with Amar & Sri Amar. We would definitely recommend Amar and Sri Amar to our friends and family. Thanks for making this come true so early, and we appreciate all the efforts put in by this efficient team.
Ranganathan Boovaraghavan | Software Test Director | Nokia 
Amar and team, First, our heartfelt gratitude for helping us with the purchase of the new home. Beyond our friendship and closeness, the professionalism you and the team have shown amazes me. Understanding how the Home-Buying process works is key to avoiding many misunderstandings. Your articulate walk-through of the process and clear definition of roles, responsibilities, and periodic updates helped us all be on track.
Amar, you always put the team first, and that is a great attitude of a leader. I have observed that you firmly believe success is not just an individual effort but a concerted team effort to satisfy the customer. The execution was very visible, even in our first bid. By the way, there was only one bid as we sealed it. Seeing your persistence, I was very sure the deal was ours to win and at a well-negotiated market price. I have greatly benefited from the end-to-end support of this wonderful team. The business staff, the loan team, and the insurance folks have all gone that extra mile to make it happen.
It looked daunting at first to agree to a 21-day closing, and the team pulled it through seamlessly. To sum up, my Home-Buying experience was awesome, and in my opinion, it couldn’t have been better. Thanks again, Amar and Team, for this great work. I would 100% positively recommend you to any of my friends for your total professionalism and commitment.

We met Amar in his Palo Alto office for the initial consultation on a Friday afternoon and got enrolled in the website portal. In our initial consultation, he read our mind and knew exactly what we were looking for.
Sri and Amar are incredibly amazing at what they do. For each property we were interested in, Sri gave us insights we would not have found elsewhere. She walked us through all the pros and cons for each property we were sincerely thinking of bidding on. All they wanted was for us to make the best-informed decision. They both made themselves available 24/7.
Amar was personally involved in all areas from the beginning until we were finally settled in our new home. He stayed on 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 it, too. His coordination with the banker was incredible, ensuring that we not only had our offer accepted but also that the loan process was smooth.
Last but not least, we started our journey with Amar and Sri as our Realtors®, but we ended up with lifelong friends. We wholeheartedly recommend them.

After six months of fruitless home search and many unaccepted offers with another agent, we came across Amar. Amar noted our requirements and gave us a clear picture of the market. He shared the Home-Buying process and encouraged us to stick to the process. Amar clarified our doubts about property selection and busted some of the myths.
We were looking in Milpitas and found ourselves in a very aggressive market in the first quarter of 2020. But Amar and Sri know the market very well. They have a great network in the Milpitas area. Amar helped us win the deal amongst many offers. A few were even higher than ours. Amar used his top negotiation skills to make sure we got the deal.
After the offer was accepted, Amar and Sri guided us through the closing process. They have a strong network of connections ranging from lenders to insurance providers to contractors. Amar led the whole process and drove his team to complete the closing, keeping us closely involved throughout. Amar made sure he stayed on top of the process.
After closing, Amar and Sri continue to help us with their contacts so that the house move-in goes smoothly. The contacts they suggest offer very competitive prices. We are very happy with the deal we got. We strongly recommend Amar and Sri for people’s real estate needs.

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 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 home-buying process was priceless.
We learned 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 that we otherwise would have struggled to get. This included critical viewpoints of some houses that 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 the 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 worked day and night to win us the offer by convincing the seller.
Amar and Sri were personally involved in all areas, like the Escrow process, the loan, and closing the deal. Their guidance was really helpful, as we were never skeptical about any decision we made. They were always available at any time of the day, whether after office hours or during weekends. I remember receiving emails at 4 am 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 needs a buying agent for their home. Once again, thanks a lot for all your efforts; we are proud owners of our dream home now.
Aggarwal | MEMBER OF TECHNICAL STAFF AT LACEWORK
We learned about Amar from a few referrals and online reviews. We first had a 1:1 session with Amar, who explained the entire home-buying process. Sri was very involved in the initial shortlisting and gave us reasons for choosing a property over not choosing it. She gave several insights that we otherwise would have struggled to get.
This included critical viewpoints of some houses that 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 an informed decision.
The seller was a bit adamant on the price they wanted, but Amar was able to negotiate to a level that 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, 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.
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. My wife and I both strongly believe that they made the impossible happen for us.
Amar and Sri got us our dream home. The entire process was seamless and smoothly executed. Right from the very first meeting, we could sense that they had our best interests in mind and were genuinely committed to helping us find 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 in-depth discussion with us to make sure we were interested in the property for the right reasons.
Once the groundwork was laid, they helped us draft a winning bid and negotiate the best possible deal. We could reach out to Amar or Sri at any time to discuss anything throughout the process, including but not limited to shortlisting and reviewing properties, deciding on a winning bid, reviewing disclosures, navigating the escrow process, getting a loan, and eventually closing 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.

We were first-time homebuyers, and we learned about Amar & Sri from a close friend. Our Home-Buying experience was a breeze just because Amar and Sri put their heart and soul into this whole process. From wanting to own a home to owning a home took just three weeks.
On a Sunday morning, we met Amar and explained our requirements and limitations for buying a home. As an expert Realtor®, Amar quickly understood our requirements and guided us, providing valuable feedback on the type of house we should target for our budget, the areas we should consider given future market appreciation, etc. On Mon evening, we talked to Sri in detail.
Sri, with extensive knowledge of the Bay Area, explained areas good for raising a family, great neighborhoods, and good houses on the market. On Wednesday, Sri guided us to a home; this house met all our requirements, and the neighborhood was impressive. We quickly expressed our interest in this house to Sri.
On Thursday, Amar took charge and guided the bidding process. There were already 11 bids for the house. Being an expert strategist, Amar helped us bid 5% less than the lowest offer and negotiated to make this deal happen. So, as buyers, we realized that a good buyer’s agent is not someone who bids the highest and wins, but someone who bids the least, negotiates, and wins. On Fri, it was Diwali eve, and we couldn’t be any happier. We had entered into a contract with the Seller. On Diwali, my friends told us we were lucky to get a good house at a lower price. From an outsider’s perspective, it was luck because they did not see us work hard, but as insiders, we attribute our good luck to Amar’s & Sri’s hard work.
Without Amar’s homework on the quality of construction, Sri’s understanding of our requirements and guidance on the right home, neighborhood & area, and, most of all, Amar’s negotiation skills in the 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 the Escrow and Bank Loan process. The entire Legal and Bank work was executed by Amar, Sri, and the Team in a quick, effective, and smooth manner. 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

Amar & Sri represented us as the buyer’s agent. We were looking to buy our first home and wanted someone with experience and strong negotiation skills to represent us in the competitive Bay Area Real Estate market. We chose Amar based on the reviews on various forums, and it turned out to be the best decision.
We had an initial consultation with Amar, and he suggested neighborhoods based on our needs & budget. Sri educated us on various aspects of selecting a property and helped us prioritize the elements that matter most to us. Based on the initial discussion with Amar & Sri, we shortlisted a few properties. Sri was really helpful with this and helped us understand the pros and cons of each property. This helped us rule out certain properties. Once we selected the property, Amar was instrumental in drafting the offer and securing its acceptance. A relocation agency sold the property we selected on behalf of the seller, and Amar’s expertise & previous experience with relocation agencies helped us navigate this unusual Home-Buying scenario.
He negotiated hard for us and was able to get the offer accepted for less than the list price. After the offer was accepted, Amar & his team’s work was excellent. We received the regular update on the various milestones, and all items were completed on time. Finally, on the auspicious day of Dhanteras, we got the keys to our first house. As first-time buyers, we were very nervous, but with the help of Amar & team, our Home-Buying experience was positive.
More than the buyer’s agent, Amar & Sri were like mentors & friends guiding us through each phase. We hope to work with Amar & team again in the future.

When we were not completely sure whether we would purchase a home soon, we met Amar for an initial conversation. Amar had completely changed our perception and walked us through the entire process.
His attention to detail is remarkable. We were convinced to start looking around for the interested homes and visiting open houses. However, one day we came across this house in South San Jose, which we really liked. We had let Amar know about the interest. The first question he had asked us was to go to the house to check the surroundings the next day, and also think about the neighborhood thoroughly. Only when we had confirmed that we really liked the neighborhood did he start the groundwork on his end. Within a few hours on a Monday morning, he sent us all the documents relating to the house, along with a thorough summary to ensure there are no surprises.
Amar, Sri, and their team went above and beyond to gather all the information to ensure it was eligible to make an offer. Amar is really strategic in making an offer and really worked wonders until it was accepted by the seller! Amar and Sri were communicative about every information they had received during the process, it seemed like the notifications were through an automated bot, but it was Amar :). They consider every client as their first client and personally get involved in every step, pre, during, and post-closing of the purchase. They are thoroughly involved and helping to take the right actions.
Now we have a trusted Realtor® team in the Bay Area, and I’m really confident about my next purchase with Amar, Sri, and their team! Thank you!
Amit Gupta | Director Firmware Validation SK hynix memory solutions inc.
Hi Amar and Sri, I want to take this opportunity to thank both of you and your wonderful team for making this possible for us. To say the least, it was a breeze working with you. I really appreciate you going above and beyond to make it possible for us, even to the extent of guiding a selling agent, who was a newcomer in our case.
You really helped lock this deal for us. Even after we were ready to give up on this house, you kept close contact with the selling agent and presented our case in a way that we won this house. Also, your team made the whole process so painless that we didn’t even feel a bit of stress while signing the biggest deal of our lives.
I would recommend you to anyone I come across who needs a buying and selling agent. Once again, thanks a lot for all your efforts. We are proud owners of our dream home now.
Thanks and Best Regards
Saurabh Deulgaonkar | Technical Program Manager | Google
A big and sincere thank you to Amar, Sri, and the team! We met Amar in his office back in May, and he gave us a very detailed overview of the entire process. His knowledge of the market is excellent and accurate! Since we were first-time homebuyers, we had very little understanding of how an offer is made. Still, Amar, with his exceptional negotiation skills, put together the right strategy to win us our home.
Since it was our first experience, we had many questions. Sri answered all the questions properly with patience. Amar and his team are very professional and created a project plan during the execution phase. His squad for other processes like Loan, Insurance, Home warranty, etc., is excellent and experienced, and helped close the deal in three weeks! Kudos to his entire team!
From creating a strategy to the end of closing, Amar and Sri were personally involved in each and every step, from answering our questions to following up on the stakeholders in the Home-Buying process. Their guidance was really helpful, as we were never skeptical about any decision we made. They were always available at any time of the day, whether after office hours or during weekends.
The most important thing about buying a home is being comfortable making a decision, and thanks to Amar and Sri, we were very comfortable going ahead with ours. This is exactly what a first-time home buyer looks for, and Amar and his team are the best at making sure that the buyer is comfortable. Thank you, Amar, Sri, and Team, for helping us secure our dream home!
I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to buy a home. -Tanvi and Saurabh

We worked with Amar & team in buying our first home, and we felt that it was the best overall experience! Rewinding the clock, we met Amar for the first time at his Palo Alto office a few months back; that’s when he explained how the home search/buying process would be, the various steps involved, etc.
Looking back, I think we made just the right decision by going with Amar! Now, the first step – home search – was when we met Sri Amar. I must say she is extremely dedicated and very knowledgeable about the Bay Area Real Estate market. Sri is the one with whom we interacted the most throughout this entire Home-Buying process; she was always available to us by all means of communication. I remember that after we finalized our home, Amar took over the command & his team swiftly got to work on the market study and prepared the right offer promptly. We went through all the disclosures and home inspection reports with Amar (I must say this is a very important step), and we greatly benefited from his experience in this field.
I think the offer preparation was the challenging part, as that’s when you need to make the right financial decision. During this step, Sri Amar was constantly in touch with us, guiding, answering our questions & helping in offer preparation. One last thing to note: Amar has a solid team & excellent networking skills.
His team includes a really strong loan officer; this immensely helped us close the house in a very short period of time. We were kept in the loop at every step and I personally liked Amar’s way of communication – template emails perfectly outlining execution steps, point of contacts of each step followed by periodic status updates. We highly recommend Amar & his team for their collaboration in making an informed decision, negotiating the right deal, and executing the process perfectly.
Thank you Amar and Sri Amar! You are the BEST!
Nitesh Kumar Shrivastav | Sr Site Reliability Engineer | Abbott
A big thanks to both Sri and Amar for putting on a great show and helping us win the home.When I first met Amar at the Palo Alto office. I had a lot of hesitation about home ownership, and I am glad you helped me make the right decision.
We are very fortunate to have Amar and Sri for any future Real Estate needs. We really appreciate the efforts you put into the entire Home-Buying process. Sri has great knowledge of the neighborhood, the market, and individual needs. I highly recommend Sri and Amar for their genuine and honest services during the Home-Buying process.
Amar is really good at negotiation and puts sincere effort into winning the home for the clients.
Ajay Vasagiri |Engineering | Meta
Amar, it has been a great experience working with you and your team throughout the Home-Buying process. This being our first home, we obviously needed a lot of guidance and coaching on deciding what is right for us.
Sri has been extremely helpful and patient in answering all our questions and guiding us in making the right decisions. And when it came to the offer, I don’t know how you pulled it off with all the competition we had for this house. Really appreciate you keeping me up to date on the status of different closing activities in a timely fashion.
THANK YOU for helping us find our first home
Tushar Patel | Member of Technical Staff | Intel Corporation
As a first-time homebuyer in the Bay Area, the whole process of buying a house, bidding, can be very overwhelming and stressful. But with the help of Amar, Sri, and his team, it couldn’t have been easier and quicker.
When we began our home search, we found on Yelp that many Bay Area buyers were in similar situations and were greatly helped by Amar and his team. We met Amar at his Palo Alto office, where he explained the entire process for his custom home search engine. We answered our questions about bidding and closing on a home, and how to consider property valuation.
Amar also introduced us to his wife, Sri, who works with him, and also to his lender (Risha), who was quick enough to get us a pre-approval letter. They have an amazing modus operandi where Home-Buying is divided into tasks and executed meticulously. We never thought we would become homeowners so quickly. Amar worked really hard to get our offer accepted. Amar got all the paperwork ready to put in an offer for the house by making an informed decision on the offer price. He worked until midnight, negotiating with the seller’s agent, and got our offer accepted. After the offer was accepted, Amar and Sri worked with the loan officer and the insurance team to ensure we would close within 21 days.
Thank you, Amar and Sri, for being so cooperative, kind, and humble to us in the whole process and making us the proud owners of our first home in Bay
Melissa Daoud | Licensed Psychotherapist specializing in DBT | El Camino Health
Hi Amar and Sri, Thanks a lot for your exceptional support. The Home-Buying experience was pleasant for us. Everything happened fast. I still remember how you walked through all the reports/disclosures around midnight and explained things on short notice when we asked you to prepare an offer for the house.
Also, your team and coordination with the home loan, home insurance, home warranty, and escrow teams are exceptional. That makes our life easy as first-time home buyers. You are regularly updating the Key Milestones progress and are available by phone for any questions/clarifications. I appreciate your support throughout this process. Your support continues after closing the deal, guiding us in registering for all utilities, ADT security, and even a priest for the housewarming. I’m already starting to recommend you to our friends.
I’m sure they will have the same pleasant experience with you. Without you, we may not have gotten this house and become homeowners today. Thanks a lot!!!
Giribabu Bikki | DevOps/DevSecOps Architect/Engineer | ServiceNow
Amar is a powerhouse with great negotiation skills and an understanding of homebuyers’ needs and sentiments.
If you are seriously shopping for a house, I would highly recommend Amar as your Realtor. He helped us to get our home on our very first offer..
Gaurav Yadav | Engineering | Ex-Snowflake
When my wife and I started considering buying a new home, Amar’s name came up as highly recommended by multiple friends. In our first meeting, Amar went through all the steps of the Home-Buying process and explained the different parameters we need to consider 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 short time. If not for Sri, we might have ended up bidding on a home that looked attractive from the outside but had certain health hazards. When we decided to bid on the house we are currently living in, Amar made sure the home stayed within our price limit and did not ask us to raise our bid 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 Amar to everyone for an honest and smooth home-buying experience.
Radhika Radhakrishnan | Wireless System Engineer |Apple
We were looking for our house in a very short time frame since we had to move out of our rented house unexpectedly. My sister gave Amar’s contact details, and he gave us an appointment immediately. We met at his office in Palo Alto.
He was very friendly and explained the whole Home-Buying process in the Bay Area to us. He immediately gave us access to the tool, which allows us to filter the listings as per our requirements. He also introduced us to his wife, Sri Amar, who was very diligent in evaluating the property’s value. She also gave us the idea of whether the properties we are looking at are in a good neighbourhood and of good value. She took time off and came to show us a property we really liked and put in an offer.
Amar did a fantastic job in finding the best deal with his awesome negotiating skills. The offer price was strategically decided, and Amar and his team worked late into the night to put together the bid for the property. He introduced us to his loan officer. We had a very short closing time of 21 days, and Amar coordinated with various teams, including the Escrow officer and the Loan officer, and helped us get it closed within the given time frame.
Sri and Amar were personally involved in all areas and stayed on top of every activity in the entire process to make sure that we got the perfect home in time!
Raju Balakrishnan | Managing Partner | Bluemantle Ltd
We are repeat home buyers with Amar and Sri, and working with them again is sufficient proof for how happy we are with the team.
Having worked with multiple Real Estate agents, both for investment properties and our primary home, I am always amazed by Amar and his team’s ability to make the deal happen.
Amar and team are outstanding at moving fast, putting together the perfect offer, negotiating with the seller’s agent, and getting the property under contract in the shortest possible time.
In a fast-moving Real Estate market like the Bay Area, his excellent negotiation skills and impeccable execution will help you get the house.
Prasanjeet Das | Senior Application Engineering Manager at Cadence 
” The young guys are all fascinated with the shining stuff; they forget that it is the land that appreciates and not the house” – Amar. I was always for a single-family home to raise a family, and the above words of wisdom from Amar reinforced the value of a single-family home.
Selecting a Realtor® is the most important part of the whole buying experience. It is as critical as the doctor you choose for your child’s birth. Some say the first house is like the first child – exciting and scary at the same time, hence you need a trusted ally to share your worries and joy with. For my first home, I started looking into online portals and connecting with friends about their experience with Realtors®.
One particular review on Zillow caught my eye, in which the lady mentioned how Amar and team helped over the “vacation period” of late December and early January to close a house they liked. Coming from a technical sales consulting background, I knew such a heartfelt customer review could only come from someone who had truly experienced a superior experience, and I decided to email Amar. “Yesterday the chance of you getting the house was 0.01%, today it is 5%.
We will do our work, and if this house is in your fate, you will get it,” Sri said while discussing the counteroffer. It all started towards Early March, and by the end of March, we had our first-ever offer accepted on a five-bedroom house in a prime locality with good schools and a view of the hills. The house that we eventually own, we never thought that we could even think of bidding on something like that. Just as a dry run to understand the process, we asked Sri (Amar’s wife) for her opinion. From that day, both Sri and my wife, Swati, were equally excited about the house.
Amar did all the heavy lifting, but Sri was the calming yet excited influence that made all the difference. We were looking for a Realtor® but got a Realtor® family instead. Not to mention the super competent team of the lender (Sara), insurance (Gail), and so on. The truth and trust in the whole experience is what mattered the most for me. House hunting is a curious event; other Realtors® even enticed me to switch for extra closing credits.
But when you are looking to bid on houses that are even older than yourself, you can’t be penny-wise pound-foolish. You need a wise, experienced person, and who better than a X high-tech executive who now works passionately to make people’s dreams come true. I am not going to parrot all the qualities – negotiation, execution, collaboration … that one can get in any other review for Amar. Just consider this – “being a PhD myself, I revel in reading documents. But since Amar was involved and provided crisp, concise summaries. I did not read any of the huge reports – inspection, title, appraisal …”
If you want a pleasant, no-fuss Home-Buying experience, then I can say without any prejudice that Amar and team is the way to go…
Narendra Munagala | Power BI | Google
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 February 2019, and he patiently explained to us the whole process of home-buying, all the ABCs. He sent us the action items he will take on his side and the steps we need to take on ours. Amar took his time to explain every question we asked. He advised us on the area and the kind of home that would be better for our young, growing family, and the qualities we should look for in a house. He used to send the home details he thought might best fit us. After we take a tour of the homes and share our experience, he will provide valuable suggestions on how the home will suit our needs in the future and any potential issues with the house after going through the disclosures.
In less than a month, we zeroed in 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 to accept our price. He negotiated a fair price for the house, and his team (especially Sri Amar) stayed in touch with us throughout the process.
They were on top of each step and were prompted 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 a home in the Bay Area. We are more confident about buying the house after meeting him. Thanks a bunch, Amar, Sri, and his team!!!
We met you in the first week of September for your guidance on buying a new property and selling our existing one. Your out-of-the-box suggestions helped us when we first approached you to assist with the sale of our property and the subsequent purchase of another one in San Jose. Your suggestions helped us decide to go immediately to purchase a San Jose property, believing the market was moving towards a buyer’s market, and later to consider selling or renting our older one.
Additionally, we saw our current (new) home with you in early September. Your advice on a property in Trestlewood Lane was timely. It helped us avoid pursuing a property despite its apparent appeal. This helped us understand your integrity.
Later, your first and subsequent offers over Belington Street were convincing and correct. You understood our financial limitations as well as capacities. You did not chase the markup of the property in spite of us wanting the property. It helped us avoid a hyper bidding scenario when I believed in a Real Estate slowdown during that timeframe. This convinced us about your negotiating capabilities and patience.
Finally, when we were about to make an offer on our new home, your due diligence in working through the logistics, despite the transaction being convoluted by ‘abstract judgment’, convinced us that you were the person we would go with for the offer and the contractual engagement for our new home.
Mohammed Nizar Meskine | Computer Science | UGA
It was a great pleasure working with Amar, Sri, and the team. As we all know, the home-buying process is very stressful, and in my case it was very smooth thanks to Amar’s highly professional team.
Following are some of the key highlights I noted throughout the whole process The best deal – Negotiation by ALL possible means Perfect Execution of the Process Winning Home with right strategy Personally involved in all areas (Escrow process, Loan and Closing) Collaboration in informed decision making Entire process guidance 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 We really liked you organized Home-Buying process in to several stages Perfect example of your professionalism.
Sri was awesome in going through the neighborhood and the details surrounding the area, giving us all the Pros and Cons.
Arvind Amogh Architect | Cloud Security Netskope
First of all, I want to start with a BIG THANK YOU note to Amar & Team for getting us a wonderful home. This was our first home-buying experience, and Amar and his team made it a pretty great one.
Amar was the initiator, and he explained to me how this whole process works and what his strategy is. Then, his wife, “Sri,” answered all queries and gave all the necessary, timely suggestions. Once we liked the home, “Sri” also visited the home and provided more detailed information about the house. Amar, meanwhile, was personally involved in all aspects, collaborated very well to obtain the disclosures and inspections, and reviewed them with me in detail.
Amar and Sri worked on the offer price that would win us the home and submitted an offer. Amar worked hard to win this. Once the offer was accepted, Amar and Sri walked through the next steps always ahead of time, starting from Loan, Insurance, Escrow to Closure. We are very thankful to Amar and Sri; without them, the home-buying process would not have been any easier.
We would definitely recommend Amar, Sri, and their team to anyone looking to buy or sell their home, as they stayed on top of every activity throughout the process to ensure perfect execution.
Arun Kumar Umayi Kalyanaramudu | Senior Software Developer In Test | Clover Network, Inc
Amar and Sri have been thoroughly professional in guiding us through the home-buying experience. May it be the idea of writing a letter to the seller (which I later learnt proved to be one of the unique points of our offer), or guiding me on what a good offer price would be, or suggesting a lender who would adhere to the 21-day closing contract?
Amar was instrumental in orchestrating the entire Escrow, loan, and closing process with stringent timelines. He referred me to a lender for the loan, and they were able to beat the interest rates offered by other lenders. Amar put in a lot of effort during the offer negotiation phase. His negotiation skills came to the forefront when he prevented the seller from moving into the counteroffer phase. His reviews on Yelp and LinkedIn tell you the truth about him and how he goes about getting what his clients need. Amar has always been reachable and promptly responds to all phone calls and emails. This gave us great confidence that we are in good hands throughout the home-buying experience.
We are a family of four, and this is our first Home-Buying experience. It certainly relieved us that Amar and Sri are working for us, and we can go about our daily routine without losing sanity thinking about the home-buying process. His proactive point-of-execution and status-update emails meant we did not need to call anyone to know the stage of the process. Sri has, from the beginning, been giving us honest updates on the house, its locality, and its surroundings. She has always been approachable and more than a friend in keeping us updated on process updates and apprising us of the next steps that would come. Both of them have gone out of their way to recommend us ways and means to improve the home cost-effectively.
This relationship with Amar and Sri will definitely continue in our future home-buying process, and I would recommend Amar to anyone who asks me for a Realtor®.
We went to Amar with a house in mind, which was listed well below market rate. Although the house was a fixer-upper, we asked Amar to evaluate its potential and assess any risks. Amar and Sri conducted a detailed evaluation of the house, provided us with a report, and walked us through it.
Next, we decided to bid for the house. Amar helped us win the bid among many potential house bids. Also, we were not the highest cash offer, but he still got us the house. There were some delays in our loan process, but Amar convinced the seller’s agent to be patient and to continue through the process. Amar managed to get our house for us in the peak housing market in a good area.
We would strongly recommend Amar for buying/selling needs.
Amith Kumar MC | Director Of Engineering for SAP Service Cloud
I am very happy and thrilled about my new home purchase in Milpitas, CA. We were introduced to Amar through a common friend, and he instantly connected with us and understood our needs.
We were primarily looking for new communities, and he was able to guide us on asking the right questions to the builder. He would provide various details on different new communities coming up and discuss the pro & cons of it. This helped us narrow down the right ones. Once we secured our home and paid the booking advance, he followed up continuously until the delivery and helped clarify the various processes involved.
It was a great experience working with Amar, and I am looking forward to getting his help in the future as well. I have recommended Amar to many of my friends and have received the same feedback. Thanks for all the help.

It is a pleasure working with Amar and the team. The home-buying process was very stressful, but it turned out interesting and smooth thanks to Amar’s highly professional team. Amar, Sri, and the rest of the team work cohesively and communicate on time and as needed.
Amar and his team are very responsive and explain even the minutest details, go over the whole process of Home-Buying, pros and cons, and risks involved, depending on the client’s situation. His team is proactive in identifying any issues and helps resolve them. Amar is very honest, straightforward and understands client needs. He actually works in the client’s best interest.
I highly recommend Amar’s team’s services for Real Estate needs.

When it comes to customer service, Amar, you are the best we have seen so far. Top star rating for you and your team. Following are a few of the highlights in our Journey – We liked really the way you organized the home-buying process into multiple stages.
The first meeting was great; you explained all the steps to me and assured me that you will be part of our journey until we get the keys. When you had some commitments, you immediately assigned it to one of your best team members. No questions asked when we asked Alicia to guide us on visiting the homes multiple times. She was available whenever we requested her to accompany us for the home search—a wonderful person to work with.
Your team is extremely knowledgeable about the Home selection process, whether it’s recommendations or the details of the houses. Sri was awesome in going through the neighbourhood and the details surrounding the area, giving us the PROS and Cons.
The Highlight is your contacts regarding the home closing. Your team is the best when it comes to making the life of Buyers smooth and easy o Sara and her team Sheila, Ozzie are the best lenders from BOA team. They were backing us at every stage and helped in closing the loan faster. Sara helped us in many ways, including applying the closing costs to the loan and arranging the best interest rate. She also spoke to the seller’s agent to give the buyer confidence.
Notary even praised the BOA team for neatly arranging the documents. Gail and Andrea did their job in making sure all the best warranties are available to us. I did not have to research on this and spend my time. Overall, my experience was awesome, and anytime I will recommend you and your team to any future home buyers. I can be of reference if you need my inputs for any of your future.

This recommendation is about our experience working with Amar on purchasing a property. We’ve been to a few open houses, and everyone starts asking if we are working with an agent.
When I said no, they try to offer the service. But we were not sure who to trust. We did our research about the local Realtors® and reached out to a few of them. A few of them reached out to us and offered their services. But we were not satisfied with their responses. My wife was researching, and she sent a message to Amar.
We immediately received calls from Amar. He basically enquired about us and has set up an appointment to meet this coming weekend. We met Amar on the following weekend. He listened to us very patiently and started explaining the entire process. We were really impressed with the details shared with us. We’ve shared the property details that we liked.
He shared the execution plan, which is very detailed. This includes all the different stages and responsible parties in each state. He was very quick to reach out to the listing agent and review all the disclosures. Also shared the summary of the details with us. Then he explained the strategy for winning the offer. He prepared a very competitive offer. Amar executed the loan perfectly and involved the loan officer to provide confidence to the seller/agent.
Once the owner accepted the offer, he was personally involved in the escrow process, closing the loan, and the title company. Every day, he started sharing the status updates via email/phone calls. Without his extraordinary efforts, we wouldn’t have been able to close the deal in two weeks. We never imagined we’d be able to close the deal in this short a timeframe.
Thank you, Amar, for the outstanding efforts. I’d definitely recommend him to my friends and colleagues.
Kartheek Pasam | Engineering Technical Leader | Cisco
Amar and his team recently helped me buy my first home. We are very satisfied with the whole experience, and I strongly recommend Amar to anyone looking to buy a home. Here are some major milestones where his team’s experience and expertise made all the difference.
1. First meeting with Amar: Amar understood my requirements, walked me through his process, and introduced his team. All I had to do was to visit open houses. I knew that I could leave other considerations about the neighborhood specifics and disclosures/inspection reports to the experts in his team. This clarity accelerated my home search process.
2. Open Houses review phone calls: His partner, Sri, listened patiently to my opinions, preferences, and shared her detailed feedback about every home on my list. Her inputs helped me narrow down and rank my preferences. Sri was very proactive in making things happen when we had just a few hours left before the offer deadline for a particular home we were interested in.
3. Offer Process: Amar provided a clear and crisp summary of all disclosures, and Sri had an elaborate call with me to help me decide on my offer price, terms, and conditions. It would have been impossible for me to choose such a short span without their expert guidance. They both did a fantastic job by walking me through all the steps until the offer was accepted.
4. Execution: I had to travel out of the country during the closing window, and I was concerned about being away during the execution process, but Amar, Nicole, and the rest of the team were on top of the game and provided timely updates to help me gauge how we were moving forward. The whole team worked like a well-oiled machine in bringing this to a close.
Once again, we are really thankful to Amar and team for making this possible with their professional execution. We would rate his team a perfect 10.

Right from our first meeting, Amar has always been very detailed and given us deep insights about the trends and practices of Home-Buying in California. Being first-time home buyers, it was a big challenge for us to buy our dream home in the Bay Area. But with Amar’s immense experience and advice, we were able to execute our plan step by step.
Both Sri and Amar explained every step involved in Home-Buying in great detail and were always available to help us with our queries. Thank you, Amar and Sri, for helping us get our Dream Home!
Dhananjay Prabhukeluskar | Network Development Engineer at Amazon Web Services
When my wife and I decided to buy a home in one of the most aggressive and expensive markets in all of California, Amar was a godsend. My wife and I agreed to go to Amar after reading reviews online and met him at his office in Palo Alto, where he explained 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 was worth what we were interested in purchasing, and they did everything in their power 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. We 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.
Smita Bhattacharjee | Finance | Juniper Networks

I am writing to express my appreciation to you, Sri, and your team for the extraordinary services you have provided to us. As first-time Home Buyers, we were very new to the housing market, which I believe is one of the most competitive in the Bay Area. You, people, have obviously helped us from the very beginning, correcting our credit score, the Lending process, and getting the home keys.
We would like to appreciate your sure-fire negotiation skills, communication abilities, and insight into the Real Estate industry. The process was well-organized, which was the turning point in 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 the future and highly recommend your services to everyone.
Divya Yadav| Engineering Manager | Amazon
We met Amar through our close friends, who had a lot to say about his excellent team and meticulous professionalism. Now we totally agree with them. I like to refer to Amar and his team as the ‘Magic’ team. They are definitely the best agents I have worked with. From the very start, working with Amar, Sri, and Narayan was a breeze. They not only helped us pick up properties but also went out of their way to check their financial and functional aspects.
Once we liked the property, Amar worked his magic. What seemed like a tough negotiation actually went in our favor, and we got the home. I have already recommended Amar to all our friends and would love to work with them again in the future.
Sriya Rajagopalan| Senior Release Automation Engineer | Commvault
My husband and I were always a little concerned about 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 securing a great deal for us. 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 answered all our questions about the loan.
Thank you for helping us get our first home in this competitive Bay Area market!
Neha Aneja | Business Development Manager | AurCore Technology
The Home-Buying experience can really be confusing and exhilarating, especially for first-time buyers. Gladly, we had Amar and Sri with us, so it was an amazing experience. We are proud homeowners of a beautiful house in this foreign land. I still can’t believe that everything happened so fast, and I was really able to buy a home in record time. Amar and Sri played the pivotal role in it, and we will always be grateful for that. We had just started looking for the house when I contacted Amar on Zillow.
He was prompt in calling back and discussing the pros and cons of that house. We went to meet him on September 28th, and we got the possession of our home on October 31st. We never imagined that everything would be done at such a pace. Amar was there to guide us at every step, from obtaining pre-approval for the loan to receiving possession, and even after that. He is a very methodical person, and that makes the process so smooth.
I must acknowledge his speed and negotiation skills. He got us that deal for an unbelievable $50K under the list price. The best part was that he and his team were taking care of everything. We thank him from the bottom of our hearts for convincing the seller to proceed with this deal. Amar and his team assured us at every step and updated us regularly. They were always tying up every activity in the process to make sure the end result was accomplished as smoothly as possible.
I must say Amar is very focused and dedicated, and has immense knowledge about the market. I highly recommend Amar and his team for a wonderful experience. He has a great team for everything. You think it, he has it.
Wishing him all the best in helping home buyers like us buy their dream homes. Thank you once again for everything. You all went above and beyond so that we can get our dream house.
Nitin Gaonkar| Director of Data, Data Engineering | Eko Health 
We were looking for a good Realtor® for a while on Realtor® sites, and that’s where we bumped into Amar on Zillow. I read the really impressive reviews, so I decided to shoot an email to Amar. The following day, I received an email with Amar’s meeting invite.
We met Amar the following day, and after the meeting, we were really impressed with the amount of information and understanding Amar had about the Home-Buying process and the Bay Area home market. Amar had clearly defined steps for us to follow in the Home-Buying process. He has a great team that works day in and day out until they find the right home for you. His partner, Sri, has a great understanding of the South Bay home market, and she is really good at communicating and simply explaining complex Home-Buying processes.
Amar and his team really helped us through the entire home-buying process, from negotiating to placing the offer, the loan process, dealing with title companies, and home insurance. Overall, we had a great Home-Buying experience with Amar and his team. If you are buying your first home or if you need a great Realtor®, I think Amar would be your best bet. I would highly recommend Amar for your Realtor® needs.

- Prompt response and an intelligent “decision-maker”.
- Very diligent in follow-up
- Gives honest advice
- Very experienced
Kunal Sahu | Technology & Business Leader | Included Health 
“”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 for our first home for the past 6 months, but with no luck. Multiple offers were submitted; a few received counteroffers, and nothing was 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 on LinkedIn).
From our very first conversation with Amar, we could feel the difference between him and the other agents we have been working with. Amar came across someone with in-depth knowledge of the Bay Area real estate market and who knows how to win under pressure. He was very, very cooperative in understanding our requirements and guiding us through various areas.
With multiple setbacks, we had very little hope of buying it in this aggressive market. Amar assured us that he would do his level best, and there is nothing to worry about. He has a calming presence that soothes the buyers and gives them peace of mind. A 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 layout 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 forefront of every stage of the Home-Buying process and saved a lot of money in the process. Staying on top of things, he also made us understand the various aspects of being a homeowner. 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. The amount of stuff he manages to get done is remarkable. One has to meet and work with him to understand and experience it truly. 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 Amar’s contribution enough in helping us fulfill our dream of homeownership. He is a ROCKSTAR!
Update 2017: we have bought a second home with Amar, and our experience has not changed one bit, if not better. If you are a serious home buyer looking for your home in today’s competitive market, get in touch with Amar. He is great to work with and keeps a personal connection.
Naveen Bachkethi | VP of Engineering, DLP | Concentric AI 
“I started my home search around 9 months ago, and today, after a long struggle and putting in around 10 offers, I finally own a house.
This journey could have been much smoother and fun if I had met “Amarrath” at the start of it. Nine months ago, when I started the house search with my first agent (Not Amar), it looked like driving up an uphill without any driving experience.
Experience with my first agent was a nightmare; there was 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 made 9 unsuccessful offers to him, but never got any of them, and things went beyond the limit when in a house we put 700K. 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 the market, it’s not the 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 with Amar began after being introduced by one of my friends. 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 extreme piece of mind and, respect and a tremendous confidence for the man (AMAR) and his team. I referred one of my friends to AMAR, and there, Amar proved he is the best; his first offer was accepted.
Amar has connections, market respect, and a team that will get you the house at the best price.
He has a team, starting from the 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 that tells how he helped me:
- The Best deal negotiation by ALL possible means
- Perfect execution of the process.
- Winning property in a hot market with the right strategy.
- Personally involved in ALL areas (Appraisal, Loan, Escrow process, and closing)
- Coordination and engagement with WFC and Escrow to ensure loan closing
- Collaboration in informed decision-making
- Entire process guidance throughout the Home-Buying PROCESS.
- Staying on TOP of EVERY activity throughout the process to ensure the end goal is accomplished as smoothly as possible.
Mahesh Gupta | Senior Software Development Engineer | Workday
I saw Amar’s profile on Zillow and instantly felt trustworthiness and sincerity. We met him, and right away, he set us up for the pre-approval process. During the pre-approval process, the way Nicole from Guaranteed Rates and Amar worked, I felt we were in safe hands. Amar asked the right questions about our budget and expectations from home and gave us access to a portal where the listing was already customized to our requirements.
When we made an offer and got accepted, Amar and the team guided us every step of the way to close the deal. I first-hand experienced market knowledge of Amar and team when at one point, property appraisal came below our expectation, and within 15 minutes, the team challenged that with extensive data and facts, and we were able to overturn it. We are today proud homeowners, it’s all because of Amar and the team.
Dinesh K Mohan | Sr Technical Program Manager | Google
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 negotiations and influence the seller to accept our offer.
Amar and Sri have been on top of things and helped us in every step of the 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 expertise really helped ease our stress during the hunt. From the first meeting to date, both have been proactive and have responded to all queries promptly. Amar introduced us to a reliable mortgage broker who helped us efficiently secure our loan. Amar helped us through the whole process and after the purchase formalities. We are impressed with the results.
Thank you, Amar, Sri, and team for guiding us in the right direction.
If you are looking for a Realtor® who has the knowledge base and ability to get the house you like smoothly, then Amar’s team is the way to go!
Mani Bharathi Pandian | Wireless System Engineer | Skydio
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 teamwork, which includes us, the buyers, as well. At the end, it was the complete teamwork 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 the call of duty to take us to the finish line on time. We highly recommend Amar/Sri and their team to anyone, like us, who is serious about winning competitive bids and closing the sale on time.
Amar’s excellent negotiation skills and Sri’s straight-to-the-point advice 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 into properties where our chances of winning were 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. A 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.
After the offer was accepted, 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 to get most of the work done. This allowed us to devote all our time and attention to our son, who was barely a month old at the time of purchase. A big thanks to Amar, Sri, and the team for all their help and care. We will be Amar/Sri’s client for a lifetime!

Hi Amar/Sri,
Following is my feedback on the Home-Buying experience we had with you and your team. We started our Home-Buying journey with you almost 1 1/2 years ago. We had gone through 4-5 property-related offer presentations; in a couple of them, we were not selected, and in a couple of others, we were selected but rejected on a contingency basis. Throughout this time, you were available whenever we called 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:
- You are very diligent in your home analysis of ROI, Costs, growth potential, and suitability for our needs, etc. Really appreciate your insight and knowledge about all things related to Home-Buying.
- You are very knowledgeable about the scenarios that 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 provided feedback on the pros and cons of choosing that property, which allowed us to make our decision in an informed way.
- You gave us great advice on which conditions to be wary of, which to mitigate, and which to address.
- You had a good external and internal team setup, which basically allowed us to close the property on time.
- You had been on top of the necessary tasks to close the property.
- You gave us your external business contacts for different aspects of owning and managing a home.
Overall, it has been a great Home-Buying experience. It was (and is) a great feeling working with you and your extended team ( especially Stacey Huang).
Sanket Dave | Software Engineering Manager – Wearables | Meta 
If you are here reading this review, it is how we started our search for a Realtor® to represent us. Strong recommendations here, as well as a personal recommendation from a friend, led us to meet Amar to purchase our home.
Just like many of the other recommendations on here have already discussed, the well-established process Amar & his team follow starts with meeting Amar at his office, followed by discussing our needs with Sri. Her inputs and ideas on how we could get the best value for our money and improve an existing home were very helpful. She is very approachable throughout the entire process. We decided not to place an offer on a property we had initially liked at the last minute. Sri was extremely supportive of our decision, regardless of the amount of work the team had already put in. The emphasis is on teamwork, and it is evident throughout the process.
When we finally decided to move forward with an offer, Amar ensured our overall offer package was the strongest. Sri kept us up to date on the discussions with the Seller throughout the day. We had little hope we would win the offer as there were multiple offers, and the seller could easily counter any of them. But thanks to Amar & Sri, we won the offer on a home we liked without any counters.
Once the offer deal was done, Amar introduced us to a team of experts for our loan and insurance needs. The loan was approved in 8 straight days, and we closed quickly. We highly recommend Amar, Sri & team and look forward to working with them again in the future for any of our Real Estate needs.
Hari Krishna Siripuram | SRE | Apple
We would like to start with a big thank-you to Amar & Sri for helping us get our dream home. Honestly, we are lucky that we met Amar & Sri, so our Home-Buying experience was very smooth and closed in less than 14 business days (it was like an all-cash closure).
We met Amar through our colleague review and also through LinkedIn references. Amar is a very detail-oriented person, explained to us the whole Home-Buying process, market conditions, loan process, home searching process, and introduced us to Sri.
Sri is an excellent person who has great dedication, patience, and is very committed towards client satisfaction. We liked a property, and forwarded details to Sri, she did thorough research on the property and provided her feedback that about home condition, neighborhood, city developments around that property and also potential hazards around the property.
Since it was our first home and very new to bidding process, Sri explained every step very patiently, actually we called many times even late nights..but Sri explained everything very in detailed and never hesitated. Sri introduced us to a bank loan officer, who is a national No.1 ranking mortgage officer, and got us approval overnight with an unbeatable APR. Personally, we have learned a lot while working with Sri, and we definitely feel she is like a family member.
In the next step, Amar received all disclosures and inspection reports, went through everything with us, identified what needed to be looked at in those documents, and also estimated $$ for any potential repairs as per the reports.
The next big step is submitting the offer. Amar has excellent negotiation skills in winning bidding wars. But in our case, he went above and beyond to win our offer because there were 4+ higher bids, one of them almost 6% higher than ours, so we thought we had lost our offer. Still, Amar used his excellent negotiation strategy to compete with higher bids without giving a counteroffer and was able to win ours. I believe he put his soul in winning our offer.
Once we won the offer, our next challenge was to close escrow within 14 business days, including the appraisal and loan process. Amar got a great team that works day & night to accomplish their tasks once committed. Amar & Sri got an excellent strategy on how to close the escrow process in the given timelines. Amar’s KME (Key Milestone Execution) process helped us a lot in closing everything smoothly within 10 days, 4 days less than committed. I believe none would have heard of closing in 10 business days, including the appraisal and the loan process. But Amar and his team made it possible.
Overall, it was a great experience working with Amar & Sri during our Home-Buying process. Amar got the best team and references, and no one was able to beat the estimates from his references. For example, a bank loan (APR was unbeatable), Home Insurance, Kitchen & Bath Remodel material store, and a Contractor. Amar & Sri come with a full Home-Buying package, so clients don’t need to do additional research and will have 200% satisfaction.
Once again, thank you, Sir
Aarun Sailyendran Murugesan | Director, IT Business Apps | Intuitive 
First of all, I want to start with a BIG THANK YOU note to Amar Realtor® & Team for getting me a wonderful home.
Like every home buyer in the Bay Area, I was also frustrated with not getting the ideal home, losing the bidding wars, and ever-increasing home prices. I stopped my home search within 6 months. After a long break, I went to an open house and liked a property. I wanted to choose an experienced Realtor® this time who can negotiate well and submit the winning offer. I read all the great reviews of Amar Realtor® online and chose him with high hopes.
I met Amar in his office, and he spent an hour explaining the home-buying process and patiently answering all my questions. He got me pre-approval overnight through the lender. The next day, Sri called me to understand my needs & expectations and discussed the property that I was interested in. She explained to me about the home, its location, the neighborhood, and the amenities.
Amar got the disclosures and reviewed them with me in detail & informed me about all the facts I should pay attention to. Amar & Sri worked on the pricing, suggested the winning offer price, and submitted my offer at the right time.
Amar is a MASTER at offer negotiation, and he negotiated very well with the listing agent and got my offer accepted. My offer was not the highest, and Amar worked really hard to win it with an excellent strategy.
Once the offer was accepted, Amar provided me with “Key Milestones”, which is like a Project Plan, and he executed it to perfection. He referred me a wonderful team of individuals for Loan, Warranty, Home Insurance and assisted with Close of Escrow.
I was really lucky enough to get my first home with Amar, but that would not have been possible without the efforts of the Amar Realtor® Team. Amar & Sri are very helpful, easy to approach, and they assist you with the entire Home-Buying process.
Try Out Yourself!!!

When u have to buy a house in the valley, you need to have all the support you can get. The house-buying experience can be daunting for first-time house buyers. When we started looking for a house, we made several unsuccessful attempts to secure one, and that is when we contacted Amar.
Amar bought a new focus for us, educating us on the market and the kind of house we need to be looking for. Within a week of us working with Amar, we were able to place an offer that was accepted. Amar played a huge role in positioning our offer in the best possible manner and also worked through various angles to convince the buyer’s agent of our bid. Once the offer was accepted, he brought in his team of experts, who worked with us at the pace needed to close the house.
I also like that Amar continues to be in touch with us and to update us on the market. I would recommend Amar to anyone who is looking for a house in the valley. Having worked with other relators, I can say with confidence that he is the Best that I have come across.
Sandeep Chopade | Director | Engineering Leader, Architect | Prudential 
Amar is the best Realtor® for all home-buyers. Buying a house is a very tough process, especially with these market conditions in the South Bay.
But fortunately, we had Amar doing everything for us. He is a very genuine person with excellent market knowledge and negotiation skills. We are still thinking about how he managed to win the offer for us from multiple offers. Amar, you encouraged us to buy an independent house when we were considering a townhouse. We never thought that we would be able to get this house, but with all your inputs and efforts, we got it.
Amar has lots of experience in the Real Estate business, and the properties he has sold make him stand out. He, along with his team, is working very hard to get the buyers their dream homes.
Thank you so much Amar for everything, we really appreciate what you have done for us.
Shiva Vaidya, PMP, CISA | IT Infrastructure Transformation Professional | Facebook
Amar and his wife, Sri, make a formidable team. During the initial days of visiting open houses and narrowing down the right areas with a good school district, Sri was an excellent guide, having in-depth conversations about investing in the right locations and advising us on each home thoroughly. Since my husband and I both have hectic work schedules, Sri was able to accommodate calls after hours for any questions/concerns. Her knowledge of the market, areas, and insights based on our needs was critical. On one home, which we really liked and seemed good at face value, Sri was able to advise us that this was not being a good investment in the long term since it might lack appreciation value. This was valuable advice since most Realtors® hesitate to tell the truth and might not stop you from making wrong Home-Buying decisions.
The first meeting with Amar convinced us that he is a professional and has the right expertise to guide us through the Home-Buying process in this intensely competitive Bay Area market. We were proven correct within 2 months of the home search. When we moved to the next phase of making an offer on a home of interest, Amar stepped in with his expertise to guide us on the right
offer prices while ensuring appreciation and appraisal gaps are well accounted for. Amar and Sri’s guidance helped us be the second-highest offer on the table. Amar’s excellent negotiation skills were able to win us the offer despite the highest offer being 40K more than ours. Amar/Sri collaborated with us on every aspect of the process/strategy and kept us informed throughout on the progress.
During the escrow/appraisal process, we were concerned on potential appraisal gaps. Amar and Sri went above and beyond to personally meet with the appraiser to ensure the appraiser understands the local market and the right value of the home.
Our family can highly recommend Amar/Sri based on our experience. We will be happy to work with Amar/Sri if we choose to buy another home!

Working with you (Amar Realtors®) was a great experience for us. Within a month after starting to work 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 quickly, 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 the Home-Buying process, our requirements, budget, and helped us set up the right expectations with his frank opinion. We found this helpful when buying a home for the first time.
Additionally, the Home-Buying process that 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 capture some aspects that had gone unnoticed.
There are a lot of factors that gave us satisfaction working with Amar which have been summarized below :
- First of all, his ideas for making a strong offer are impactful.
- He closely followed up with the selling agent and negotiated effectively to win the bid in a multiple-counteroffer 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 throughout the process-escrow, loan, closing process was quick and very efficient. Good collaboration.
- As an experienced Realtor®, Amar’s foresight is excellent. He gives a heads up and immediately suggests a workaround 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 a good understanding of the bidding process.
Overall, my husband and I 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 the future and recommend him to all our friends..

When we set out to Buy a Home, the market conditions were the most difficult for any buyer. We had already put in offers on a couple of homes without success.
But from our very first meeting with Amar, he was able to instill confidence in us. Sri pitched in and was giving us very insightful guidance on how to go about the whole process. Both Amar and Sri were constantly in touch with us, and we eventually zeroed in on a property.
Where most agents would leave it on the buyers to look for properties in a crazy market like this, Amar and Sri were working more than we did to select the home for us. We are extremely grateful and inspired by their approach.
After the offer went through, they guided us through every step and successfully closed the Home-Buying process in a very short time. And all along, they made it so seamless for us, while they were working out so many details in the background. Amar and his team are commendable in their commitment and approach to the job.

We had started Home-Buying process at beginning of 2017 with other agent, gave offers to few homes and lost, we won provide for the first home we had seen with Amar and baught home, we had smooth buying experience with Amar and team, they took care of every aspect of buying process right from best deal in offer to Escrow closing process etc., We even got all details about utilities contact etc.. before move.
In this competitive housing market, we were able to buy the home we liked thanks to your professional execution and process. Thank you very much for your help with our home-buying process. We highly recommend Amar for Home-Buying.
Abhijeet Bhalerao | Storage System Designer | Micron Technology
We were impressed with Amar right from the first time we met him in his office. Even though we told him we were not seriously looking at homes right now, he was on board. Amar gave us an overview of the entire home-buying process, what to look at, and in-demand areas.
Sri, Amar, and their entire team are usually on top of things. Sri is very responsive and gives a very frank opinion about any house we ask her about. When we found our dream home, we were sure we would never get it. But Amar worked his magic and got us the house!
After our offer was accepted, Amar & team guided us at every step and were responsive and helpful, helping us close the house on time and without any issues. Amar’s team (lender, insurance agent, home warranty, and others) was very helpful in closing the home in 3 weeks, as promised in the offer.
We are extremely happy that we went with Amar, Sri, and their team. I have doubts if it would’ve been possible to get our dream home in less than 3 months of meeting Amar in his office! We have already been talking about and recommending Amar to all our friends and relatives looking to buy a home in the near future.
Avinash Renuka | Engineering Manager | Broadcom
Hi Amar
I would like to use this opportunity to thank you and Sri for helping my wife and me find our dream home. You guided us in each step like a dependable friend and got us in the right direction in the Home-Buying process.
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 to 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 work 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.
Ram Elango | Data Engineering Lead | Illumio
I would like to share my Home-Buying experience with Amar and Sri.
I met Amar after reading reviews online, and we met at his office. During my visit, he explained to me the process in detail, and I left the place with confidence and comfort that we had met a good human being who is also becoming a Realtor®.
Sri used to send me open house schedule and explain me the positive and negatives of the house which helps 1st home buyers like me, she is very knowledgeable and have lots of patience to explain. Within a few days of my house hunt, I liked a house, and I updated Amar and Sri on the same. What happened next is a miracle, but I was fortunate to see it happen and am still not able to believe it.
This is the only home I liked and this is the only home I told Amar and he got it for me with his high negotiation skills, every task he performs I know for sure Amar puts his heart and soul and his 200% of his energy to make it happen. He has great communication skills in working with various players in the transaction; he knows when to fall back or move forward to make things happen, which benefits the buyer.
I have heard many Home-Buying experiences from my friends and relatives, but what happened to me is simply great. The house I got had two all-cash offers, and I was dependent on a home loan, but it’s my amazing pure excellent execution skills that I got this house.
Amar guided me throughout the process, and he was on top of all key dates, and he helped me get a home warranty, home loan, and home insurance. He is very systematic, punctual, dedicated, and he is a great human being.
Amar and Sri are like family members to me. If you get to work with him, I am sure you will say, “I am right.” You buy a small-budget house or a big-budget house… Amar is always the same and the results is always SUCCESS.
God Bless Amar, Sri, and their family !!!
Thanks, Ram and Vinita
Sumit Singhal | Staff Design Verification Engineer | Broadcom
This was my first Home-Buying experience, and Amar and his team made it a pretty great one. The best thing I liked was working with the whole team, not just one person. Amar was the initiator, as he explained to me how this entire process works and what his strategy is. But, then his Wife, “Sri,” took charge of answering all my queries and suggesting which open houses are worth going to. Once I had liked the place, they left no stone unturned to win the offer.
Amar is flawless in his executio,n and he enjoys the buying process, evident from the fact that he represents more buyers than sellers, giving him an extra edge in the buying process. I would recommend Amar any day.
Sandeep Nair | Software – Technology Development Group | Apple
I connected with Amar through a friend who had provided very positive feedback. Knowing how tough it is to get a house of one’s liking in the Bay Area, I think we are among the fortunate people who got their first offer accepted. We walked into our new home in just under a month after meeting Amar, which for me is a big deal as the Home-Buying experience in the Bay Area can be very frustrating. Our Home-Buying experience was excellent and stress-free with Amar, Sri, and Team.
Amar and his team are very experienced and professional. He was involved in all the areas of the Home-Buying experience, starting from loan pre-approval, home evaluation, offer negotiation, appraisal, loan, escrow, and closing, and collaborated diligently and actively with all the participating parties, resulting in a smooth and fast closing.
I will definitely recommend Amar to all Home buyers for a smooth Home-Buying experience, and I would like to personally thank Amar and his team for making my Home-Buying experience so smooth and memorable.

Negotiation skills, strategy, and an excellent support team are what differentiate Amar and team.
Finding a home is 50-50% work between buyers and an agent. When you work with Amar, he provides value in getting the deal done smoothly and effectively. Though Sri and Amar can help and guide about finding the right house, deciding the area, researching the local market, etc, it is more of the buyer’s choice.
We liked one house and told Amar and Sri that we were interested. Amar did an excellent job advising us on the condition of the home, its value, the local housing market, and the overall area. Sri and Amar also pointed us in the right direction to find other relevant information. Once we finalized that we wanted to put an offer for the house, he took over the process. Sri kept us in the loop throughout the process, during this time I witnessed how the right strategy, negotiation skills, and process work wonders. Amar was clear and calm during the process and ultimately finalized the house for us. From the time we liked the house and told
Amar and Sri discussed it, and it barely took a day to put in an offer, and within 2 days, the offer was accepted.
Amar and the team’s support continued to be there even after the loan process was over. The whole loan process was smooth and fast. Here is where I saw how much difference it makes to have an excellent support team. When you work with Amar, you actually work with an experienced team of professionals, where each member has a specific role, and they execute on it without any flaws.
We got the house in the very first offer. Ours was not the highest offer. During the negotiation phase, at one point, I was willing to increase the offer by 20k, but Amar advised against it and followed his strategy to win the house for us. It is rare to get a house on the first offer in the current market. Individual experience will be different, but I can tell that when you work with Amar, at the right time, with the right strategy, sooner or later he will get you into the house of your liking. Amar is a sincere, professional, and trustworthy Realtor®. He is in this occupation because he likes to do it. He takes pride in the deals he makes and does the transactions as his own.
Karthik Srinivasan | Director, Product Management | Pure Storage
Amar, Sri, and team are top-notch professionals. Their attention to detail and customer focus make them an invaluable partner throughout the home-buying process. They guided us every step of the way, patiently answering our questions and following up at every stage.
Amar also brings to the table an experienced extended team of loan, warranty, and insurance professionals who provide great services and make the entire process very smooth.
All in all, highly recommended!
Preeti Kothari | Business Analyst | Oracle
We worked with Amar on selling our Home recently, and he exceeded our expectations on the pricing front. To be honest, there is this sense of tentativeness amongst many of us working with Realtors® nowadays, but I can vouch that there are tangible benefits working with someone like Amar.
Amar brings a sense of orderliness to the process and works out a detailed plan with you. Yes, it’s a joint ownership of the process, and he’d drive you hard to make sure you follow through, which eventually would be to your benefit. There are many things that he’d take care of in the background which would help the process go smoother. In all, his diligence and perseverance are big assets in my opinion.
The Home that Amar sold fetched the highest price EVER SOLD $/sq.ft in the neighborhood/community, and that’s the testimony to his selling strength, negotiating skills, and above all, extensive online Marketing by working around the clock.
Even in your interactions, you could sense his steadfast focus on goals, whether his own or your shared goals with him. His ability to optimize for those goals and show that through his results is what I feel sets him apart.
Srinivas Gantasala | Consultant | Applied Materials
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 on, he has guided us, and has been very responsive in every step of the process, from Pricing to Loan to Escrow to Closing. Amar also saved money on the home price and closing costs due to Amar’s tremendous knowledge and negotiation.
Our first time Home-Buying would have been nerve-racking and confusing if Sri had not 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 of 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 an attractive offer that helped us get the house we wanted. We have been looking to buy our first home for many years now. We started to lose hope in getting our home. Then we met Amar through one of our friends’ references. 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 extensive knowledge and strong negotiating skills. God Bless Amar and Sri.
Krishma Dutta | Innovating cool stuff | Apple
Amar and Sri helped us in getting our first home and made Home-Buying a memorable experience. We started our home search this summer and made decision to go with Amar as he had amazing reviews on Zillow and Yelp.
As first-time home buyers, we were a little nervous throughout the process. But Amar and his team explained us the whole Home-Buying process very clearly. We are not easy people when it comes to questions and clarifications, but Amar and his team kept us amazed with their professionalism and dedication.
On the day of bidding, Amar made up a point to be at the seller’s Real Estate agent’s office to make all the negotiations. Amar’s team had been instrumental, especially in getting the loan done within 21 days and providing us with the best market rate available.
We have heard stories from our friends about how it takes more than 6 months to get a home in the Bay Area. I would say that between meeting Amar and finding our new home was all done within less than 1 month. I would highly recommend Amar and his team; if it were not for him, we wouldn’t have been enjoying our new home. Overall, we are quite happy to work with Amar and Sri, and we would definitely refer Amar and his team in the future to all our acquaintances.
Lakshmana Chari Vaitiyam Gunaskaran | Software Engineer | Amazon Web Services (AWS)
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 the Bay Area. I was very skeptical and almost lost hope, and in early 2017, I put myself out of the market. There came along my new home in the market, both my wife and I liked the layout, and we called Amar and Sri to proceed on it.
Amar and team wrote an excellent offer, though quoted less than the competition, the offer terms were lucrative. All credit goes to “Amar”.
Amar has strong negotiation skills and persuaded the listing agent to accept our offer less than the competition’s 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 a little panicking, but Amar and team totally made it seamless by doing all the heavy lifting for me. I was kept apprised of the entire process. Amar is very efficient, and he stays on top of the core process, and really makes the right move at the right time.
I strongly recommend Amar and Team, if you are looking to Buy or Sell HOME.
Kapil Dholakiya| Lead Design Verification Engineer | Broadcom
Our Home-Buying experience was excellent with the Amar and Sri Team. Amar and Sri have thorough knowledge of the area. They guided us in making the right decision based on their years of experience in Real Estate. Amar has very strong negotiation skills that saved us money on the house.
In addition, the house had already gained some equity before we moved in. Their strong connection in the field made the entire process seamless. We were informed at every step of the process by his team and through constant calls with Sri, even as the process ran in the background.
Amar is fast, reliable, and responsible. He is very efficient and stays on top of everything. Answers all questions promptly and provides great professional support. I would recommend him to anyone buying/selling their homes. Sri stays on the lookout for new listings and never stops searching for us. It was stressful, but Sri was so understanding and more than accommodating.
I don’t know how we would have gotten through it without their team efforts!
I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy/sell a home.
Sham Srivatsa | Engineering Manager, Site Reliability | LinkedIn
Hi Amar and Sri
We have all been through a very busy week. But we are all smiling at the end of it. You may have been through this anxious phase many times before, but you kept the same persistence and energy as you did on the very first day we met you, and you fought hard for us to get this house. That truly shows you care about your clients and do this for the happiness it brings them. For Archana and me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we are glad to have you on our team.
Amar and Sri, you have been very humble and honest with us from the start. You encouraged us when we made the right decisions along the way, and at the same time you did not force us into any particular house. These are very good qualities in a realtor. You treated each offer we put in as though it were your own home and put your 100% effort into it. I have seen friends who went through 10-15 offers before getting a house, but with you we got our dream house in just 3. Even though we lost 2 houses before this, we always felt confident going into each offer because convincing a seller to accept an offer is a skill you excel at, and none of the other buyer agents can even come close to it.
Your advice, experience, and insights into Real Estate and how to create a “winning offer” are an art, and we regard it highly. I know we have a long way to go in this transaction, but we have got a great start.
Some comments and advice from us to other buyers in the market, and why we recommend Amar 100%:
We started looking for houses sometime in January 2017 with our previous realtor. We had put offers on 2 houses and lost both. Although our last realtor was good, you need somebody who can win you the battle when it matters most. Good houses (houses that match ALL your criteria) rarely come to market, but when they do, you CANNOT afford to lose them. Because good houses in neighborhoods like Milpitas and Berryessa get at least 20 offers! With the interest rate rise just around the corner and the inventory being at an all-time low, we did not want our house hunt to take its own due course. Instead, we wanted to shift gears and go with someone who is proven to have won against all-cash offers! There are not many realtors who can compete with all-cash offers or offers with 40-50% down payments! But Amar is one of those.
So on April 1st, 2017, I communicated with Amar over email since he came highly recommended by our lender. I still remember my first phone call with Amar. We were out on a hike with friends, so I told Amar that I wanted to reschedule the meeting since we’d be dirty and sweaty from the hike. He said, “Don’t worry about it, this is the Bay Area, and you are supposed to be hiking,” and invited me to his Palo Alto office on a Sunday.
Deepika Tetali | Sr. Software Analyst | Oracle
We are very happy to know you and to work with you. You were very personable and knowledgeable in answering our questions and helping us to make the right decisions in the process of buying our first new home. We appreciate your quick response in setting up the house viewings, even on short notice.
We were extremely impressed by your level of commitment; you continued to work with us to meet our needs and answered our questions right up to the settlement date. As a first-time buyer, it would have been really hard to go through the process of buying a house. But with your help, it went like a walk in the park.
We thank you for your hard work. And definitely recommend you to the other buyers.
Sincerely, Deepika

Amar helped us buy a property in the Bay Area, one of the hottest markets in the world. We provided our requirements, and he found the best we could get in the market at a reasonable price and negotiated with the seller to secure it as quickly as possible.
Amar has a team of people with extensive knowledge in the Real Estate area to execute tasks with perfection and at jet speed.
I am very much satisfied with the purchase of our house in a very short time, and highly recommend it to anyone.
Shruthi Kadambi | Senior Software QA Engineer | Apple
It was our first home, and we ventured into the Real Estate market with lots of anticipation. But right from the day we met Amar, we were put at ease. He answered all our queries and provided us with the right insights. His team is good at project management and has provided a clear, concise checklist of tasks and who is responsible for each. This made the Home-Buying process clear and easy to navigate for us. Their valuable advice helped us find our dream home.
Amar, Sri, and his team are amazing. They provide constant, timely updates, are very proactive, and highly diligent. By working with Amar, you can rest assured that you will be guided through the entire Home-Buying process right from day one until closing.
Amar’s excellent negotiation skills, combined with a hardworking and resourceful team, make them the BEST in the Bay Area.
Sujata Tibrewala | Open Source & Advocate, AI thought leader and Strategist | Cisco 
Amar and his team made every step of the Home-Buying experience a breeze. This was our first home in the US, but he and his team worked with us, educating us in the process. From pre-approval to putting down the offer, through escrow, and into the home inspection, his team guides us and arranges everything, making home-buying a breeze.
When we hear about our other friends putting offers at so many homes and not getting one, I feel lucky to have found Amar, who knew the market so well and knew exactly what we needed to do to get the offer, no less and no more. He also negotiated with the owners to the Max.
We still cannot believe we are the proud owners of a home just a month after seriously being in the market and after getting the first home we put our offer on.
Sachin Parkhe | Software Architect | Basis Technologies
I would say Amar and Sri are the perfect team to help you find the right home at the right price.
Throughout the Home-Buying process, Amar guided us through each milestone and brought the right people into the game at the right time.
This made our Home-Buying process pretty seamless. Amar has a good area of expertise, knowledge, and negotiation skills.
Even after closing the deal, Amar managed to get us 5K credit from seller. We are glad to choose Amar and definitely recommend Amar.
Karthik Krishnamoorthy| Vice President and Head of All Product Management | Cloudera
5 years ago, I felt buying a house in the Bay Area would be a hard reality for me, given the rise in house prices, and if we needed to buy an affordable house, I would need to go all the way in the Bay Area. I was still considering buying a house when one of my colleagues asked me to meet Amar and check with him. Me and my wife met Amar at his office and told we were looking for and boom 2 month later I was an owner of a single family home in rising Milpitas area.
Even though this sounds like a fairy tale, I should say it was the hard work and drive of Amar and his team to help pull it through.
Amar and Sri sent me a list of places to visit for the open house, and when we liked one of the homes, we let them know. I thought we were already late to put in an offer, as I didn’t have a pre-approval. Amar pulled his strings and introduced me to Stacy for a mortgage. Within 24 hours, I had a pre-approval, and the offer was submitted.
I was told the house had around 7 offers, most of them more than what I offered to pay. Amar and his team helped to negotiate and got the deal done, and now, within 2 days, my offer was approved. I couldn’t believe they pulled it off anyway, after this is the next set of steps to start the financing for the house. In this process, I wanted to check with another lender for a better rate, and the bank promised it could offer a better rate than Stacy did. I conveyed my decision to Stacy regarding this and went ahead with another lender.
But this is where the real game started: the other lender wanted document after document, and after a week, they said they couldn’t really close my case with their underwriter, even though they were still trying their best. I talked to Stacy and Amar after that, and they understood the situation and pulled this out for me. Throughout the whole process, I was still not committed to Stacy whether I would go with her, and it was Amar and his team who convinced Stacy to continue with my financial process, and I’m glad they did.
I am not sure if any lender would be ready to do so much work when you are uncommitted, and I am glad Stacy really decided to help me. I think the reason she was prepared to pursue the case was her trust in Amar. Thanks again, Amar, for this…
They handled all the paperwork, went through the house inspection report, and answered any questions I asked. I know sometimes I irritated Amar by asking him multiple questions as a novice buyer.
I should say this—if you are looking for energetic, aggressive and honest person to help you with your house search I would say talk to Amar…He would understand your needs and get you the right house. I am glad I reached out to Amar and thank him and his team on behalf of my wife and myself for buying our first house as a couple.
Thank you, Amar…Wish you more success.
Jay Mukherjee | R & D Software Engineer (Expert) | Agilent Technologies
Amar and Sri went above and beyond to make our home-buying experience an absolute joy. Right from the very onset, they were on top of every activity. They thought about the client’s needs and requirements and always treated them as the top priority.
This gives the much-needed peace of mind as a buyer. They were always available on the shortest notice. Above all, they have the knowledge and experience that make it a winning combination. I recommend Amar and Sri for anyone looking to buy their next home. We certainly will work with them again…
Manoj Devpura | Sr. Manager, Managed Services | F5
We hired Amar as our Agent for a buyer referral from our friend. It was great working with Amar and the team. Amar is knowledgeable, understanding, honest, and extremely thorough. This was our first time buying a home, and Amar’s expertise and advice were invaluable.
He was very patient and helpful, and maintained great communication throughout the entire process. We were about to lose the house because of counteroffers, and Amar made every effort to ensure we got it.
We really appreciate his patience in answering our queries. I am happy to recommend Amar, especially to first-time home buyers in need of some extra hand-holding.
Shyju Kozhukkunnon | Data Analytics Lead/ Solution Architect | Apple
Amar is a master negotiator. Once he is convinced of a price and submits an offer, he will go to great lengths to get it accepted. He is very persuasive and talks to the point.
He has a great team working with him around the clock to take the offer to closure and beyond.
Gajendra Singh | Tech leader | Google
We are a few of those fortunate people who get their first offer accepted and that too at the listed price, this wouldn’t have been possible without our Real estate agent Amar, who imparted the knowledge to understand the difference between owning a house and renting.
Throughout the home-buying process, both Amar and Sri patiently answered our queries and made us feel comfortable. Amar and his team were very efficient in closing the deal and providing all the required documents to the title company and lender.
Aditya Rane | Software Engineer | Meta
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 look at a house’s potential and real estate value when we were house hunting. Amar was very patient with us and helped us to consider all similar options available fully.
Once we decided to put in an offer on this house, Amar and Sri helped us determine a price point that would give us the best chance of acceptance. Amar followed up with the seller’s agent throughout after the offer was submitted. The sellers had some doubts about our financial situation, despite our having made the best possible offer. We had not provided proof of additional funds to cover a potential 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 counteroffer, nothing! Amar has quite the negotiation skills!
Well, as the sellers had feared, the appraisal from Bank of America came in about 40 K lower. Additionally, over the same weekend, interest rates on housing loans rose, putting us in a tough spot. If we decided to go with another appraisal from another bank, that would mean a higher interest rate. 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 maintained constant communication and kept all parties in the loop. Amar coordinated the entire escrow and closing process.
My wife and I had an amazing buying experience. We would love to work with Amar again if we are back in the market.

Buying a home in the Bay Area is a herculean task, given the fact that properties are sold out by the time you blink your eyes. However, our home-buying experience with Amar and his team was truly immeasurable.
From day one, since our meeting, the service provided was exceptional. He helped us close the deal for less than 10K among many potential interests with higher offers with the right strategy of meeting personally with the seller’s agent and presenting our offer with a fully backed team supporting our credit score and 21 days of closing time.
Amar’s real estate experience got us the seller’s first choice to respond against counter offers, and through his exceptional negotiation skills, we got a refrigerator, dryer-washer, and a first-year home warranty for free, costing another 4K 🙂
Being first-time home buyers, we had lots of questions about the market, property, and the deal we’re getting. This was definitely the best deal, by all means, as we saved almost 15K and our property was valued at 100K more than the listing price, which gave us 100K in equity immediately.
He was on top of every detail to make sure our home-buying experience was smooth. It was overall an amazing experience to have worked with Amar and his team, who guided throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Amar to my friends and anyone looking to buy a Home.
Prakash & Sheenam.

Amar / Sri,
It was a pleasure working with you. I tried with other Realtor®s before coming to you. We are just at the edge of loosing 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-ups, hard work were the key to the successful closure of this deal.
We were very happy when you were able to convince the seller to come down on the price, which saved us 15K. I definitely rate you on 5/5 with no second though. I already referred you to almost everyone whom I know who is in the market looking for a home. A Big THANK YOU to E=MC2.
Sneha Vedula | Co-Founder | Tulip Kids Inc.
My review for Amar & his team comes a little late, but nevertheless, straight from the heart.
Considering our scenario/our expectations/our location constraints/our budget, if it were any other Realtor®, they would have straight refused to provide their services. But Amar & team took the Challenge. And that’s where we started with our journey with the home-buying process. And I can very well say that they emerged as winners and in the deal, got the perfect abode we dreamt of.
The very first meeting that we had with Amar, he came across as very straightforward & Very Knowledgeable. With his expert insight, he gave us a brief overview of the current trends and market information. It helped us to gauge and make realistic choices.
So our home search began. A detailed insight into what we wanted in a home was duly noted, despite the several constraints we had. And I liked the fact that their choices did not impose on us. We saw a few homes that the team pointed out, and we enjoyed most of them. But then came the jackpot. When I saw the home listing which literally met all our criteria, I was excited.
Amar, when he realized that we were really interested, he reviewed the home in and out, top to bottom, made sure that the home had everything taken care of , discussed the future aspects for the property, and then asked us to proceed.
It was time to make an offer. And believe me, we got the offer approved even though we were 40k less than the other offer and on top the seller gave 5k towards the closing costs. I have to add that Amar has great negotiation skills which helped us achieving the house we wanted within our budget.
But wait, the deal did not close yet. We had tough time getting through the loan process and believe me if it was not the Loan officer referred by Amar, we would never get the house we dreamt of. But with Amar’s patience, determination, diligence & right strategy we got the house.
Overall we are very happy & satisfied with our Home-Buying process with Amar & his team. We will be happy in recommending his services to one and all.
Our family had a dream – But it was Amar who truly put his efforts in helping us realize it for us.

We just bought our second home with Amar and his team, and we continue to be amazed by the superlative results Amar and his team produce. We were undecided about buying another home as we were in the 3rd trimester, expecting our second child. As many people in the Bay Area will tell you, it can take months, if not years, to find a home in this market. However, after discussing our situation with Amar, we decided to forge ahead, simply because of our confidence and trust in him.
Amar will only recommend options that are in his client’s best interest. He treats every negotiation, every deal, as if it were his own. It is extremely rare to find a person who has so many talents. Not only is he a master negotiator and executioner but he is an extremely good person – honest, reliable and ever-ready to go out of his way to get his clients the maximum value.
For the home that we just purchased in a top school area in Milpitas, Amar and his team did their magic, again. They held us through the entire process – from finding the right location to shielding us when our bank faced delays to closing the escrow process seamlessly. Not only did we win the offer despite competing with higher offers with more than $10K in differential, but our offer on a great home was accepted within 2 weeks of starting our home search. Moreover, the seller paid $5K towards our closing costs. Simply mind-blowing!
A true testament to Amar’s skills is the way he handled our request for an extension of the escrow closing date due to a delay in our bank’s processing. We really don’t know how Amar managed it, but in just one day, we received the seller’s approval to extend the escrow closing date by 2 weeks, without any penalties. Amar was very focused on making sure we were completely stress-free. He wanted us to move into our new home and get settled in before our baby arrived. He went above and beyond for us, just like a family member would. In this day and age, when many people are concerned only with their own personal gain, it is truly our good fortune to have Amar on our side. We give Amar and his team our highest recommendation and wish that many more people have the good fortune of working with him.
I am also including a quick summary of our first home-buying experience with Amar. We had an amazing experience, and Amar’s strategy and execution were just superlative.
My husband and I started looking for homes with Amar in July 2012, in an extremely competitive market. With low inventory, good homes were going way over the asking price. It was tough to find a nice house in a good school district within a modest budget. It was in this environment, 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. Our deal was a HUGE home run!.
Ipsita Kar | UAT Analyst (Oracle Finance Division)
My Home-Buying Experience in 2016:
The Home-Buying experience with Amar is really pleasant for us. This is the second time we have requested that Amar be our Realtor® to find an investment Home for us within our budget.
As per Amar’s valuable suggestion, we found one HOME really interesting. However, when we started putting an offer, there were already 4 offers for that Home as it was a hot Home in that area. The highest offer was almost 20K more than our offer. Amar tried his best to negotiate the deal for us. He just spent almost 2 days of his valuable time just regarding our offer to be accepted. He was personally involved with our lender in the entire process. Finally, we are pleasantly shocked to hear that our offer was accepted.
Thank you so much Amar and your team for helping us to get our dream HOME. This smooth execution is not possible without your support.
My Home-Buying Experience in 2013:
After my home-buying experience with Amar last month, I can only say that Amar is THE BEST Realtor® in the Bay Area. Amar, as a Realtor®, always goes above and beyond to provide 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 expected from a Realtor®.
Amar showed us a really nice Home in our preferred zip code.
Once we were 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’s agent and understood the seller’s motivations and situations for selling the home.
Amar put together an offer package and worked closely with the listing agent to WIN the deal before the offer deadline without competition and a price bidding war. As a result, we got a very good deal. He is extremely good at analysing the situation, winning the deal with right strategy, and perfect execution.
Amar is personally involved in all the areas of our Home-Buying process(Appraisal, Loan, Inspections, Escrow, Insurance, and closing). He has a great team of people to make the 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, from beginning to end, went so smoothly, with peace of mind, thanks to Amar’s hard work, dedication, and capabilities. We are 2nd-time homebuyers and have extensive real estate knowledge. Amar and team make a BIG difference in the home-buying journey. Thank you so much, Amar, for all your contributions in our home-buying process.

Amar and his team made our dream of buying a house a reality. Because of their hard work and team effort, we could buy our dream house. Amar got the BEST DEAL in the market. He is personally involved in ALL areas (Loan, Escrow, and closing). He helped us select our perfect house for our family’s needs.
We just showed Amar the house we liked and the rest of the things his team took care of.

Regards, Dharmalingam and family.
Rajan Patil | Sr Manager Firmware Engineering | Micron Technology
Our Home-Buying experience with Amar and Sri was great! This is our FIRST HOME, and needless to say, the Bay Area market is very competitive. With Amar and team, we were confident we would make the right purchase that would serve our starter HOME needs and be a good long-term investment.
As the single-family houses we were looking for within our budget were small and older, Amar and Sri’s vote of confidence and experience really helped us make the right choice. Sri was very helpful in offering her opinion and insights on many houses we saw, which eventually helped us get a HOME in the neighborhood we wanted.
We think Amar’s contacts and relationships with listing agents also help the home-buying and offer process. Sri was very prompt in answering our phone calls during both the offers that we made and keeping us in the loop; we think that was great!. In a fast-moving market like the Bay Area, where time is of the essence, the long hours Amar and team put in help us close the deal on time.
We would also like to thank you for our contract having a few items to be paid by sellers (home warranty, some other fees, etc.). We were also impressed by Sri and Amar’s knowledge of Milpitas neighborhoods. We appreciate all the help and would highly recommend you to our friends.
– Rajan and Anipra.

Amar was super awesome to work with in helping us closing the dream home we wanted. He was guiding us and very responsive in every step of the process from Pricing to Loan to Escrow to Closing. He was always available when we needed to talk to him either by Phone or by Email.
The entire process went smoothly with the use of high tech, and we visited him just once during the planning process. In addition to closing the home, he also helped with bootstrapping the home after the purchase, such as linking us to the right people to take care of all the things. Highly recommend him and would definitely consider him for our next home too.
Girish Pandit | Ads and ML | Meta
Amar and the team were extremely helpful in our home-buying process. As first-time buyers, we were stranded in our search for our dream home for quite some time. But Amar and Sri guided us right from the initial consultation to the final closing.
We contacted Amar & team; they were very helpful in explaining the process and also explained the market conditions. We were going through some family health issues at the same time, so Amar convinced us to focus our time on family while he took care of dealing with all the paperwork.
I’m pretty sure without Amar’s and his team’s proper guidance, I wouldn’t have struck such a great deal on the house. What I’ll definitely endorse Amar for is his awesome negotiation skills, his tactics before we made an offer on the house, and the zeal he showed in getting the house well under the listing price at a great bargain. Amar’s ability to execute the entire home-buying process is outstanding. It’s still hard to believe we have the keys to the house.
Amar and Sri, you are indeed very good at what you do, as many of your client testimonials say, and I can attest to it now. We strongly recommend Amar and Sri to anyone who needs Real Estate help.
Parikshit Nigam | GPU DV Engineer | Qualcomm
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 support us on every step.
They helped me make the right decisions at every step of the home-buying process. We got our dream house with Amar’s & Sri’s help. It is a great house, and our family loves it.
This was all made possible by Amar’s and Sri’s hard work. We got the best deal we could. We paid less than the seller’s asking price. They saved us almost $15K through price negotiation and recovery from the 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 our personal contacts with lending agents, we even got the best mortgage rate. 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 the right time are highly commendable. His knowledge/analysis to identify the pros and cons of any given house and provide true insight about the house make him 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 we didn’t have any issues until 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.
Sampath Ramasamy| Camera Software | Apple
Amar and the team are really helpful in our home-buying process, right from the initial consultation to the final closing. We saw the house in the market and liked it. We contacted Amar & team; they were very helpful in explaining the process and the market conditions.
They placed our offer aggressively at the top of the status. They worked overnight (we got a call at 12:00 midnight!) 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 was accepted. He answered our questions and helped us all the way till closing.
Also, Amar and the team helped us find a mortgage banker who can process our loan faster, since we are about to leave for India on vacation. By some miracle, the mortgage banker approved the loan in record time, and we signed the docs just a day before we left. Amar also spoke with the banker on our behalf.
The home-buying process was really a stressful experience since we are first-time buyers. Amor and the team were really helpful in reducing our stress during this process, and we thank them.
Shweta Deshpande | Senior Engineer | Full Stack
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!
The Bay Area is a tough market for home buyers, especially 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, and that too in a very short closing time.
To get the home we want, many pieces of the puzzle 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 patiently answered all our questions and doubts, helped us understand different aspects of Home-Buying, and taught us to look beyond the home checklist we started with, thinking about real issues of long-term ownership, and weighing pros and cons.
Their experience has been very valuable at the critical stage of making an offer, particularly in setting up a strategy. We had to deal with a multiple-offer situation on an atypical offer deadline schedule, and they helped us make a preemptive offer while still hitting the price range without getting overextended, which is a common risk in such situations.
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, and every small detail was followed up. They have been particularly good at evaluating disclosures, combing through them with a fine-toothed comb, seeking any problems and risks.
Their biggest strength was negotiating the best deal, attempting multiple approaches, and 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!
Radhakrishna (RK) Nakka | Business Analyst & Architect | Cisco
It was a great pleasure working with Amar, Sri, and his team. I can’t say enough about how great an 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. But our offer is 10K less, with a loan requiring 10% down. It’s one of the most COMPLEX and CHALLENGING offers for Amar. We’ve lost all hope in this home; we don’t know how Amar works with them. It’s a very complex situation. How did he convince them? After 3 to 4 days, he gave us a congratulatory email, “Your offer got accepted. Still, we cannot believe he worked out this Home. It’s a miracle. Because of Amar, we got this home in the Bay Area. Buying a home in the Bay Area is our whole family’s 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 checks with the mortgage lender helped us keep the loan processing on track for a 30-day closing!
He was honest to me as to what was going on. Kept me updated on what was happening from the 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.
Lokesh Balcha | Site Reliability Engineer | Cisco Tetration Analytics
First and foremost, I would like to 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 exploring for the perfect Realtor® who will meet 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 shortlisted, 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 a 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 10k below the listed price. We did accordingly, and that was on Thursday. Kudos to Amar and Sri for their excellent negotiation skills! They were able to impeccably sense the seller’s pulse, and we got our offer accepted on Saturday morning with no counteroffer. It was a joyous moment for all of us, and we couldn’t thank Amar enough. We proceeded with the inspection of 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 babying you with so much care. Once we discussed the report and the expenses that followed, we came to understand that some immediate expenses needed to be taken care of it. My wife and I were in a dilemma about whether we had enough funds to bear the immediate costs 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 homeowners. Thanks to Amar and his team for walking us through our home-buying experience in California and making our dreams come true.
Soum Chakraborty | Product Manager at Rockwell Automation
Amar and Sri not only work as a team but also partner with a team of highly experienced professionals across every facet of the real estate business, providing a seamless home-buying experience. This is reflected in their execution, resulting in super-fast closing and zero last-minute surprises/hitches – something both the buyer (us) and the seller acknowledge as the top priority. For that, kudos to Amar and his team.
Our first time buying a home could have been nerve-racking and confusing if it were 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 promptly 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 recognized our predicament as first-time home buyers and were proactive yet 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 throughout the process and helped me focus 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.
Sumith Narayanan | Software Engineer
It was wonderful meeting Amar and Sri and discussing our need for a home on a Friday, the very next day we were heading to a 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 submitting offers and then get dejected multiple times, as is the case in the Bay Area, where there are always multiple offers on good homes.
Amar Relator has a team of finance, insurance, and warranty guys who took us through the entire process, and we benefited because of the teamwork. If you really want a stress-free home-buying experience in the Bay Area, Amar is the go-to person. Also, Amar negotiates rates for you at every process, let it be the bidding, the closing charges, or better financing. I feel Amar can get you what you want, for the best price, really top-notch !!
Thank you Amar and Sri.
Renuka and Sumith.
Prashanthi Ravanavarapu | VP of Product, Sustainability, Workiva 
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 returned to the market, its approach really stood out. They were aggressive in helping us reach a decision and in getting us the home that would work best for us financially and for our lives.
Throughout their partnership, they have been supportive with the various 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 a month of first contact. The results speak for it. They ensured we got the best price, well below the listing price.
Lastly, our home closing was complicated due to issues beyond our control. Amar managed the situation very well and helped us close despite all complications. Overall it was a great experience and would recommend Amar and Sri to any of our friends and family.
Chandra Sekhar Durisety, Ph.D | Hello Heart Innovative Executive | Scaling Products to Commercial Success | Hello Heart
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 financial institution’s support, we had tremendous confidence that we would make our HOME run. We are the proof that we reached 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 learn that my appraisal was considerably higher than my bid, which shows the diligent hard work and excellent deal-negotiation capabilities of Amar and his team.
I understand the true challenge lies after winning the bid: coordinating all the players (the loan officer, home warranty, insurance, Escrow officer, and buyer, of course) and bringing them into sync for a timely, smooth closure. There are a slew of unknown parameters that could disrupt the smooth flow, but by thinking through the process and planning properly, we can make this journey as pleasant as possible 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.

Amar is the best buyer’s agent I have come across. We have a keen eye to spot houses that have great value. He is an excellent negotiator and treats every transaction as his own and aims for the best outcome for the buyer.
For us, his negotiation skills resulted in significant savings on the home’s price and reduced closing costs. With Amar and his team, you are assured of being in safe hands, and you can expect a wonderful home-buying experience.

“Wow! Don’t know how else to put it. Sri & Amar just nailed it. My wife and I were getting ready for a 1+ year house hunt process, but Sri & Amar nailed it in less than a week – Wow. This is my first home, and I knew it’s going to be difficult from day one as you’re not sure which is the right one for us, especially 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 future 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 I buy a home rather than just a condo, since appreciation is much lower there. 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 recommend 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

My family and I would like to thank Mr. Amarnath for 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 had a very hard time because 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 in sixth grade and the other in 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 first-time buyers with a lot of things to understand, he never let us feel like first-time home buyers. Once we liked the house, he worked at mercurial speed to make sure we got the house, at the same time, he made sure that nothing was overlooked. We are really impressed by his knowledge of sellers mindset. We are also really impressed by the way he treated us like family, and throughout the process he acted as though he were buying the house for his own family.

Hi Sri & Amar,
I want to thank you for being my Realtor® and making my first-time home-buying process as smooth as possible. It was a real pleasure working with you, Sri, and your amazing team.
In this competitive bidding war, I still can’t believe that getting an offer accepted for the first home we worked together, that too around the list price. It was amazing and incredible how quickly and easily 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 wrote an offer, which included getting a pre-qualification letter.
I strongly believe that your aggressive negotiation skills, thorough knowledge, and strategy in writing an 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 a one-stop shop for us and providing your valuable suggestions and guidance throughout the process. I remember one of your emails and phone calls, you mentioned “Relax… We will guide you THE ENTIRE PROCESS “. At the end I truly feel that we have experienced this and you did what you have mentioned.
Regards, Jagadeesh

I wanted to take this time to personally thank Amar and his team in helping us get the house we were looking for. Sri took the time to get away from her activities to show us the houses we wanted to see at a time that was convenient for us. Amar and team had all the knowledge required to keep us in check while going through the buying experience.
They ensured that all the properties we shortlisted were in the right neighbourhoods, with good schools, and away from major freeways. They took care of compiling the offer with all the clauses, explaining each and every step. Amar went above and beyond expectations by negotiating with the seller’s agent over the phone at 11pm to make sure we got a good deal. Bottom line, Amar and Team helped us from start to finish, from Loan Pre-Approval to closing the loan, and helped save over 10K on our house.
I was referred to Amar by a few of my friends who bought their house through him. They all had a pleasant experience and so did I and my family. I definitely recommend Amar and his team for your Home-Buying needs.

Amar was a buying agent for my first sweet and dream home!!!
He is undoubtedly a gem of a person who works on humanitarian grounds as compared to the competing commercial world today. You can stay rest assured in finding the perfect home. He has educated and guided me through out the process starting from exploring a house until deal is closed!!! It was so smooth sailing!!!
He also referred the best lender. I and my wife were so happy with the journey we had with Amar from looking for a house until we moved in last week!!! He is also helping and guiding us even after we moved in to a new house. My kids also really enjoying in new house especially in beautiful backyard. You can have 100% faith on Amar and he will help you to the maximum extent. He will think by keeping his feet in our shoes.
Ganesh Bhat | Storage for AI, TPM Lead | Google
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.

Hi Amar & Sri
Thank you very much for your help through our first Home-Buying process. You helped making our first Home-Buying experience so much pleasant and easy. I have heard many stressful stories form many of my friends during the Home-Buying process and somehow we feel its been relatively very stress free and an easy experience for us and this was possible with your excellent guidance and care during this entire process.
I would gladly refer you to my friends and family and thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for helping us get our first home.
Thank you, Anil & Sabitha

Amar did an excellent job in finding our first home. As first-time home buyers, we were scared and confused. We were dilly dallying for more than 6 months trying to decide if we should buy or not, the location and budget. We called Amar on a Sunday. He was kind enough to come home on the same day. After understanding our situation and talking to us for more than an hour, he was able to easy our anxiety. Talking to him helped us feel confident about buying a house.
I have made 100% return on my investment within 8 months. He has a really good knowledge on where to invest. His negotiation skills are legendary. He was able to get us $18k off on upgrades and site location. Overall we are very happy that we found him as our Realtor®. I would love to recommend him to any home buyer out there.
Srikanth Gurram | Senior Manager ( Software Engineering ) | Providence
First of all thanks a ton for helping me to get my desired house. I really liked that way you execute things, professional per-say.
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 execution, 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.

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 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 assembled an amazing team and established an unparalleled professional network. 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.

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 them.
Our experience with his recommendation for a 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.ANIL KOMMA
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.
Anil Giri | Staff Software/Firmware Engineer | Aria Networks, Inc.
When we started our house hunting, we enquired our friends, and they recommended Amar as the 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.

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 would normally have been hesitant to 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 they do. Thank you team!

Amar, Thanks for your professionalism. Here is a summary of our buying experience.
* Amar is very thorough in all aspects of Home-Buying – making an offer, involving the lender, insurance agents, providing contact for utility services, and even for us to reference Pujaris for Housewarming Pujan.
* Amar’s lenders work very professionally and extremely collaboratively to make the close of escrow so quick, beating market norms. This gives the upper edge to the buyer’s offer.
* Amar prepared an offer for our home on a very late Sunday night after we came back from visiting an open house.
* Amar has written unique offer terms with the right strategy to WIN our offer at a very attractive price before other offers.
* Amar adopted a negotiation technique that suits our buying situation. His acumen in adapting negotiation skills are commendable.
Tushar Mahale | Software Engineer | Workday
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 many very good, 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 the finer details, to ensure she could 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. As first-time home buyers, this helped us a lot in narrowing down our exact requirements and in considering aspects we had never thought of. I think this is very important, especially for a first-time homebuyer.
One of the best qualities of Amar and Sri is that 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 the 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, who informed us 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 it might 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 it is indeed a reality or not.
We purchased the house at 63K below the listing price in the hot Milpitas market 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 the best in their field, and they guided us smoothly throughout the entire process, which would otherwise be overwhelming for first-time buyers.

Thank you, Amar & Sri!!!
I believe you did an amazing job in closing the deal under the constraints we had! We always wanted to live close to San Jose area and looking at the current market conditions, this was the perfect house. Thank you for making it happen!!
Now counting the days to move into our new home!!
Wish you all the best!!
Vikhyath Marapadaga | Engineering Manager | Roblox
It was a great pleasure working with Amar, Sri, and his team on our first home, and we would like to THANK YOU for all the work you have done. From giving you a call for the first time to getting keys in hand, 60 days flat, which includes a 3-week Christmas break. 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 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.

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 an offer in the 2nd week of the relationship, and 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.
Amar is easy to work with, open for discussion and suggestions. I highly recommend him for Home-Buying help.
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 learned about Amar in a casual conversation at a park from a friend who recently sold his home through Amar.
I gave a call to Amar around Noon on a bright sunny Wednesday, he promptly answered the call and agreed to meet the same evening on short notice. The first meeting lasted for 30 minutes, and I explained to him my requirements, and he graciously listened to my needs. In the first meeting itself, I could sense there was something special in this man and got a feeling that I could 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 a home with Amar, I 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 the final offer price with him, 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 at 30K less than the list price. Like the icing on the cake to top it off, he negotiated with the seller to pay 8K towards the closing cost, in all, Amar could save me 38K.
LOAN PROCESS: Amar did not stop there, and he started following up with the LO for the next 2 weeks. As I mentioned earlier, Amar has a very capable team, which I was able to experience through the services offered by the LO. The LO is a very nice lady, she went out of her 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 the able, Efficient, sincere, and Hardworking team of Amar & Sri to secure my home. I didn’t take any time off from work during this process; Amar and his associates meticulously planned every step of the buying process. I was getting full attention and prompt responses, and his team was guiding and pre-empting me of any challenges at every step. Amar’s belief in “Your Servant with Gratitude” and “Clients for Life” has been proven one more time. It was a seamless and stress-free process because of Amar’s experience, and I got a feeling of “BIG BROTHER” holding and guiding me.
Priya Khisti | Frontend Engineer Manager | Alkira Inc
Today, we closed on our home in the Bay Area, and I have to say it would not have been possible without Amar and Sri. We literally put an offer on a house in just two weeks and then closed within a month. People spend years finding and buying a home in the Bay Area.
In our case, Amar was able to make an offer on the house before it went on the market, which helped us avoid a bidding war. He was also able to get the price down by 15K, which is unheard of in the Bay Area. All credit goes to his negotiation 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 the pre-approval process.
So if anyone wants to buy a house in the Bay Area, then Amar is the best Realtor® you can ever get!
John Rhaniel Borromeo | Staff Network Engineer | Airbnb
I recently worked with Amar to get our first home here in the Bay Area, and I would have to say that he, along with his wife, Sri, is very client-oriented. He has very good attention to detail and was always available to answer any questions I had.
He also referred us to good vendors, which made the buying experience very smooth. I would recommend Amar and his team, especially for first-time home buyers like me.
Samhita Pidaparti | Salesforce Application Engineer | Google
Amar was our Relator for our new Home purchase and our current home sale, and I can say he did a terrific job on both. He was instrumental in reducing the listing price for the new home and in having the seller contribute more toward the closing costs. Regarding 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, I do not think anyone 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, arranging a 3D photo shoot, putting our house on the market, conducting rigorous advertising, and deep-dive negotiations on the offers.
Amar paid great attention to all the minuscule 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.
Khyati Kapoor, Ph.D | Protein Sciences, Automation | AlivaMab Biologics
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 some time and had worked with quite a few real estate agents, but to no avail because of our limited budget. It was getting frustrating when we were introduced to Amar and his team by a friend. We had given up hope of ever owning a home in such a cutthroat market. From the day we were introduced to Amar and his team, it took us just 10 days to have 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 to tell us we had won the bid, we had to pinch ourselves to believe it. All this was possible only because it was Amar who was representing us. We are pretty sure no other real estate agent could have secured a deal for us 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 were personally involved in the entire process, which 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 wholeheartedly recommend Amar and his team as a one-stop shop for anyone’s real estate needs.
Rajasekar Dhanasekaran | Builder | ReevoAI
Simply put, Amar is amazing. I am a first-time homebuyer and contacted Amar via Zillow. He got in touch with me and explained the prerequisites for the home-buying process. He also connected me with a lender to help with my 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 the MLS listings. The open house was over already, and offers were starting to come in. Sri and Amar, through exceptional effort, arranged for a viewing of the home on the same evening.
After a brief deliberation with Amar and Sri, I decided to make an offer on this home. I had heard many horror stories about Home-Buying in the 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 repeatedly, explaining the merits of my offer over others, and convinced the sellers to accept it. 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 clearly outlined what needed to happen next to complete the home purchase. He also kept all stakeholders in sync and followed up to prevent delays. The whole experience was unbelievably easy. Through the diligence of Amar and the Team, we completed all requirements even before the escrow closing date.
It wouldn’t be an understatement to say that I am a homeowner now because of Amar. Thanks, Amar! You will be the go-to person for even my future Home-Buying needs.

Hello Amar,
Thanks a lot for helping us to get our first home! You made our first Home-Buying experience very smooth by spending significant time behind the scenes and getting involved in every step of the process.
I appreciate your aggressive negotiation skills, thorough knowledge, and the effort you put into preparing an attractive offer. I would like to thank you for all the tips after our offer was accepted. It just took 25 days to complete the whole process, starting from preparing the offer to getting the keys to my new home.
Thanks, Ram

We were first-time homebuyers – and very ignorant of the home-buying process and all the 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 coffeehouse 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 keen eye for detail were outstanding and very helpful to us at several stages 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 despite higher offers from others. (Since we liked the home very much, and we knew there were other offers, I was thinking we needed to 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 much more than an agent/Realtor® as we wound down toward the Close. He and his team were coordinating efficiently with the loan officers, insurance agents, and the seller’s agents, and providing us daily status updates on tasks in progress and pending. (And whenever we had a doubt, even during off-hours or weekends, we would shoot off an email, thinking we would 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 below the asking price, he saved us close to 10K in closing costs by passing them on to the seller/lender.

We want 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 on the current housing market, what to check for, and the areas and homes to target. This was an important step in our goal of becoming homeowners. He also connected us with the right people for financing and logistics, which 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 and in giving us the right inputs on what to watch out for. Amar, as you have said, you always strive for a partnership and a client for life; you have one with us. You and Sri are our great advisors and trusted friends.

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 a few “different” configurations one evening ( 5 different houses). This was the first very important step to align what we wanted and what we expected within our budgets.
I was really impressed that it was not just a phone call, but an in-person visit to the house, much before the scheduled OpenHouse. Your experience with what to look for in a house was also very critical – it shows how passionate you are about homes, and you understand this industry and have a keen eye for detail. Within a week, we liked a place and called you – from that point on, you were on top of it. You has your own ways to do an independent evaluation of the home that we like.
Putting in an offer: This is one area where no one can beat you – you are the best, leaving no stone unturned. Throughout the process, we got the feeling that “You are our man”. You are 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 first-time buyers, we were very anxious – but all this time you were very confident that we would 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 secure the offer, despite many better ones. 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 hours on weekdays – that shows how dedicated this team is to serving 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.

It is really our pleasure to write a review for Amar,
As first-time home buyers, 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. He provided guidance and collaboration throughout the entire Home-Buying process. Amar and Sri had patiently answered all our questions and continuously ensured that we had all the information we needed. 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 21 days. This was definitely the best deal negotiation by all means.
Overall Amar has a very talented team and he makes you feel comfortable in the entire Home-Buying process. Wishing you all the success in going future for you and your team.
If you want a home in the Bay Area, just contact Amar, and he will make your dream come true.

I want to express my sincere thanks to Amar and his team for partnering with me on a recent property acquisition initiative. When I brought this proposal to Amar, his initial response was “I am ON it “.
He truly lived up to this by providing guidance in all aspects, whether in price negotiations, dealing with lending partners, or ensuring progress at all phases. The exemplary partnership he brought to this engagement, underscored by his willingness to go the extra mile, was a key factor in the successful outcome of this initiative.
He was truly a trusted partner, and I am glad I had Amar and his team on my side.

Dear Amar and Sri garu,
As young first-time home buyers, our Home-Buying experience in a market as crazy as the Bay Area was nothing short of a fantasy tale! I think it was just good fortune to be referred to you by our very good friends. We are still in disbelief that you helped us land our dream home in the smoothest possible way, all within an unbelievable two-week timeframe.
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! YOU ARE THE BEST.
Thanks and regards, Sravya

Amar is an excellent Realtor®. We are first-time home buyers, and Amar and Elly made the process as smooth as possible. This team has immense knowledge of the real estate market and is genuinely interested in finding us a home of our expectations within our budget.
We had a terrible experience with the previous Realtor®, and Amar & team helped us overcome it and made us comfortable throughout the process. Amar was available all the time throughout the process and helped as much as possible to keep things moving.
I’m sure his team’s expertise and long-term experience help the customers win any deal. Amar sure goes a long way in helping his clients. I definitely recommend Amar & team.
Asif Islam | Staff Software Engineer and Tech Lead | Google
We’re first-time home buyers, 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 winning 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 a multiple-offer situation.
As first-time homebuyers, we didn’t know many of the details and were a bit nervous about buying a property in this market. He helped us make 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 owners of a house in 3 weeks.
Amar & Sri, we’re grateful to have you as our Realtors®. Without your help, we can’t imagine buying the house in this tough market at such a great price.
Gireesh Subramanya | 0→1 Product Builder & Technical Leader | Stealth Startup
Amar was recommended to us by a close family member who was thoroughly impressed with his services when they bought their dream home. From day 1 of our home search, Amar and Sri were both very professional. They worked through the clutter of our requests, prioritizing them, and honing in on the few homes that met the criteria. Price, Location, and Value were all given importance. Once the home was found, Amar was quick, focused, and importantly, got the house for us.
We saved time, money, and all the hassle, as he took care of every detail from start to finish. I really liked that he has an extended team and works with the best in the business, offering services for mortgages, title, home inspections, and any help you need. Amar practices “meet and go beyond” the needs of his clients.
1. Over 20k savings
2. Personally involved in ALL areas (Appraisal, Loan, Escrow process, and closing)
3. Co-ordination and engagement with WFC and Escrow to ensure loan closing
4. Amar and his fantastic team stayed on top of every minute detail, made it an enjoyable process, and more importantly, staying on TOP of EVERY activity makes sure the end goal is accomplished as smoothly as possible.
In summary, Amar was our friend more than a Realtor® in getting us the house we wanted in this hot market, helping us with informed decision-making and guiding us throughout Home-Buying PROCESS.
Thanks Amar, Sri and Team.

Amar is one of the very best Realtors® in the current competitive Bay Area market. I start with the phrase “I recommend Amar to all my friends, colleagues, and also newcomers.” Let me write a few words about him, based on 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 a 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-ended questions, 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 experience and insight into the selection procedures. He is always accessible and offers high grade of professional services, displays a pleasant, cheerful disposition.
Amar possesses the qualities of knowing what needs to be done, making practical suggestions, and effectively drafting the contract, offering an agreement, and being open to 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!!
Sathish Kumar | Software Engineering Manager | Accenture
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 to inquire about a property/pre-approval process. He responded the next morning and clearly explained the home-buying process. After completing our pre-approval process, Amar came to our house to explain and clarify our doubts/questions/house requirements we had in mind.
During the search of our houses, Amar and Team helped us whenever needed, day/night, to view the property at our 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, our offer got selected despite other High Bid Offers. Amars ‘ team followed up daily with the lender to get 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 an excellent experience for us working with Amar and his team, who were dedicated to the home-buying experience and completed the entire process smoothly with the Winning Strategy. Our Home Purchase agreement Process was done completed within a month.
Definitely, we would recommend Amar’s Team for a Smooth and dedicated home-buying experience.

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, buying a home is a difficult process; buying one in the Bay Area is even more of a challenge. We started our journey to find our dream home a year ago and quickly realized that “dream home” is relative. 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, as first-time homebuyers in the US, we were all over the place. He helped us wade through those waters and arrive at a combination that shortlisted 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 sports talk, “Hustle” to make it happen. He would simply ask us whether we were 100% committed to making an offer on a home, and if we were, he would move heaven and earth to make it happen. I don’t know how many couples in the Bay Area can claim this, but our success rate is 100%, i.e., we made only one offer and got that home. Once we saw the home we loved it. However, it was listed above 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 deep market knowledge, combined with his persistence and hard work to find the right fit for you, can be a great help on that exciting roller coaster ride. The most important thing that stands out with Amar garu is that if you like a home and ask him to make it happen, he will work tirelessly on it and doesn’t rest until it is done. Even when faced with obstacles in the loan process, he will find alternatives and line them up quickly so you do not lose the house you want to call “HOME”.

“Just like any couple, the home-buying process seems like a nightmare in Silicon Valley. Our journey to find a house began with many apprehensions and qualms. We got introduced to Mr. Amar Amarnath at one of the events in Silicon Andhra.
His humility impressed us and encouraged us to work with him. Within 3 months, he streamlined several issues in the home-buying process, enabling us to move forward. Despite having the challenges of multiple bids, overbids, and time pressure, he went out of his way to help us buy our dream house. He personalized this experience by interacting with neighborhood residents to gather input and involving every family member to ensure their happiness. Finally, we landed in our dream home, cherishing every moment with our family.
Our special thanks and gratitude to Mr. Amar and his entire team for making this beautiful dream come true. We would recommend Mr. Amar for his diligence, sincerity, and excellent customer service……..making Home-Buying a pleasurable experience.“

Venkatesh Seetharam | Principal SI/EMI Engineer | Broadcom Inc
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 by the market and our Realtors’ incompetence, we gave up on the home search. In August 2014, when one of our dear friends narrated the story of their Home-Buying Experience, we were thrilled to hear that such Realtors® actually exist.
He recommended Amar strongly and said that if we were to buy a house, Amar must be our Realtor®. Following a great recent experience buying a home from a friend, we approached Amar in March 2015 when we restarted our home search. We realized how true our friend’s words were when we bought our home. We truly believe that we would not have purchased our home if Amar were 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 were a 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 a difference-maker: he clearly understood the deal’s dynamics and changed them so that, if the sellers accepted 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 for what clinches a deal is exceptional and was one of the main reasons we got the home of our dreams. The fact that we got a highly desired home in an extremely competitive market (in Fremont) despite 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 ensured the escrow closed on time. Amar went above and beyond his role as a Realtor® and advised us very skillfully throughout, helping us make the right decision at each stage. Amar has certainly become our Realtor® for our lifetime.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your efforts and patience in working with us as first-time homebuyers. I could not imagine us owning the house in this kind of market without your guidance and experience.
I appreciate the feedback you have provided over time and the space you gave us to decide what we liked during the search process. I thought the ride was over when we got our counteroffer accepted, but then we started dealing with a different set of issues, and that didn’t worry us, since you were there with us every step of the way.
Thirumala Reddy Mutchukota | Sr. Staff Software Engineer & UTL | Google
I feel very lucky to have gotten to know Amar. When I first contacted him on April 18th, 2015, I had no idea how to buy a house in the US and no confidence I could do so 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 all these things happened so fast, and that I was 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 is a 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 a 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 the morning of May 18th, I had no confidence that I would be able get it as the house is a 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’s execution speed and negotiation skills are extremely good, and I believe those are the ones that make him one of the most successful and well-appreciated Realtor®.
- Amar won the bid despite being 10k below the highest bid. A very big thanks to him for seeing it through and convincing me to take the right step at the right time.
- As soon as our offer was accepted, he introduced us to his whole team of people who came forward to help us close 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 June 19th 2015.
- Even after closing the escrow, he is still calling me regularly and giving all the guidance on taking over the house and moving in. In that I just see a very great friend and well-wisher in him.
In summary, Thanks to Amar for everything, and God bless him with good health, wealth, and even more energy to help many other people like me fulfill their dreams
Anjan Kumar Ojha | Senior Manager, Apps & GenAI | Apple
From the day I involved Amar, he has provided only the best guidance and assistance, from the moment I asked him to help me on this journey to buy a home.
He assured me throughout every stage of buying a home that we would get the best home at the best price for you. It didn’t stop at just negotiating the best deal for me on this home, but also helped at each stage, starting from getting the best interest rate and benefits from the bank, getting the closing done at the best possible(minimal) time, and not to mention getting the keys as well in flat 21 days.
I am very happy with Amar and his team. I would refer him to anyone looking to buy a house in the Bay Area.
Thanks a lot Amar. You are really the best!
Anjan

What a pleasure was to work with Amar and his team!
Amar is a superb agent, providing us with excellent service. He is very responsive, timely, and professional. Quick and efficient, Amar was involved in every stage of this journey.
We were looking in a very competitive area and the house had a lot of interest, so we weren’t sure whether we would be able to get it. He helped us close the deal among many potential interests. He got us a great price, a good discount from the lender, and brought us, incredibly smoothly, to the close of escrow in just 2 weeks.
I want to thank the team for all their hard work in helping to locate the perfect house in Los Gatos. With all your help, we were able to find the perfect property for us.
Yogendra Srungaram | Cloud Engineering Management | Oracle
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 unturned to get us the winning deal. Along with his deep technical knowledge about the housing market, the biggest asset he brings to the table is his unconventional skills.
He understands our requirements and the seller’s, and bridges the gap between the two parties. Winning and closing houses are a norm for him. Wishing him the best as he helps many homebuyers like us buy their dream homes. Thanks you once again and all the best

When I think about Amar and my 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.
As a first-time homebuyer, I sometimes got my preferences and priorities wrong. 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 easy, as I had budget constraints and entered the market with limited preparation; however, I have the ambition to get a good house in a good school district.
In the end, Amar and his team have helped me fulfill my ambition, working patiently through 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.
I really appreciate the help and recommend Amar to any committed homebuyer.
Sudhakara Reddy Bommu | Solutions Architect | Amazon
It is really a pleasure indeed to write a review for Amar. In simple terms, he will see the entire process of buying a home as easy and pleasant. The unique thing about Amar is his vast experience negotiating with the Bank or with sellers. Amar’s negotiation skills helped me get a great price (50K less than the highest offer) in this hot, multiple-offer market, which was in the South Bay. On top of this, he got us a good discount on the closing costs from the lender.
Amar was there to oversee personally all aspects of buying a home, whether it is a 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 questions and consistently ensured we had all the information we needed.
I would strongly recommend Amar to anyone looking for an edge in a competitive housing market.
Prapti Chitoor | Senior Manager, Technical Program Management | Google
This is probably going to be similar to some of the other reviews. However, we cannot help saying Amar is really, really the best. He has an excellent relationship with the Bank and the sellers’ agents. Because of Amar, we got:
- An excellent rate.
- We found our home in an area we wanted
- We were not even the highest bidder, but Amar and his team’s reputation for getting things done on time, and his negotiation skills got us our home.
- We needed the proceeds from our previous home in a different location to invest in our current home, and the funds were available on the same day as the closing. Amar got the bank to approve and fund our loan for a house in the Bay Area within hours.
- He is involved in every aspect and makes it a really smooth process.
In the South Bay Area, where there are multiple bids and over-the-top cash offers, the relationships and reputation of the agent make a difference in whether you get your home. You cannot go wrong with Amar!
Sridhar Narasimham | Manager, SiP DFM | Apple
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 to work 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 the target homes we wanted to make offers 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 the entire Amar offer presentation with the seller and the listing agent. We didn’t even get a chance to make a 2nd offer 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.
Bhuplesh Gupta | Helping Global Investors Secure U.S. Residency | ZEN EB5
Dear Amar, Sri,
I am writing this letter to thank you for the hard work you both have put in to get our first home. Buying a home is not like buying a car, where you go to a 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 email conversation, you introduced me to a 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 the right questions to find the best matches, and she did it. All of the properties she shared with us met our expectations. Within 2 weeks (unbelievable), we found our dream home. I have heard people spend 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

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.
We would definitely recommend Amar to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bay Area.
Amit Joshi | Startups and Investments | At Large
Amar came highly recommended and played a pivotal role in helping us secure 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 several 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 the 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, but also managed to get a discount that covered the entire mortgage-related closing costs and then some.
I would strongly recommend Amar to anyone looking for an edge in a competitive housing market.
Satya Chalasani | Architect at Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
Amar is an outstanding Agent. I am a first-time homebuyer, and he was very patient in answering all my questions. He would always put his client’s priorities on top of his priorities. Amar would travel miles even in difficult weather conditions to show a houses. He has excellent knowledge of building materials and would correctly estimate the costs for any repairs required. Most importantly is very honest in giving his feedback.
Amar has a very good team and they compliment each other so well. You will feel that a strong team is working for you throughout the process. They are so flexible in working around your timings.Once you like any house, they were so meticulous in doing their research and would get to the correct value of the house.
Amar is excellent at gauging the competition and would also magically get to understand the seller’s mindset. He is excellent in putting out a strategy to prepare a winning offer. Amar is very methodical in negotiating and he is your best bet in winning through multiple offers in this competitive market. What makes him special is that he truly feels every transaction as his own and works so hard on it. Finally, I would say that if Amar is in your team, it’s like having the leagues MVP in your team.
Vinod Gomathi Nayagam | Systems Engineer | Embedded | Apple
We first met Amar on Sep 11th based on reviews. As first-time home buyers, we were not clear about the entire Home-Buying process. Amar explained all the steps to us 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 helped us navigate this offer, even though there were multiple competing offers. He with his excellent contacts expedites all the process which involved loan process, inspection, appraisal, and insurance. We closed escrow and got the keys to our dream home exactly 2 months after meeting Amar (Nov 10th). It’s all still like a dream….
Overall, Amar has a very talented team, and he makes you feel comfortable in the entire Home-Buying process.
Priyadharshini Gowthaman | Engineer | Qualcomm
Our Home-Buying experience with Amar and his team was truly immeasurable. From day 1, since the initial meeting, the service provided was exceptional. We were looking for homes in a very competitive area. He helped us close the deal among many potential interests with right strategy. Being first time home buyers, we had lots of questions and he was patient and explained everything in detail. This was definitely the best deal negotiation by all means. He was personally involved throughout the entire process (loan, escrow and closing).
He was on top of every activity to make sure that our home-buying experience was very smooth. It was overall an amazing experience to have worked with Amar and his team who provided guidance throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Amar to my friends and anyone looking to buy a Home.

Amar truly is an excellent Realtor®, but more than that he is a wonderful 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 the Bay Area, we were quite unsure 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.
Daniel Roddy-Grier | Analyst | Vanguard
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 ensuring all 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.

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, responding promptly, and overall was highly professional and attentive.
He is very well-connected and has a professional team, and we had a pleasant, positive overall experience working with Amar. He has many contacts with Insurance officers and Loan Officers who have worked directly with him in the past and are very trustworthy. This helped us save a lot of time shopping around for good deals.
As first-time home buyers, we were very nervous about a few terms in the offers, but Amar explained everything to us in a very calm and composed way. We used to call him for every small, silly question at first, but he handled us very professionally.
Amar was on TOP of EVERY activity in the entire process to make sure the end goal is accomplished as smoothly 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 the Seller’s Agent in a very amicable manner.
We absolutely plan to work with him again and would recommend him for home buyers
Thiagu S | Independent Information Technology and Services Professional
“WOW!!, Amar has incredible capabilities to close the deal. Saved lot of money for us. We saw the house on Sunday Open house and he finished deals in 3 days within our budget on tough competitive market. Even after closing, he got us some appliances that were not part of the disclosures.
Amar,
We wanted to thank you for your professionalism and for understanding our requirements. We feel that the selection of you and your real estate firm helped us buy our new house for the best price in a timely manner, and it is a great compliment for us. You were most helpful and treated with the utmost professionalism.
In summation, we are very happy with the service you provided, dedicated to doing a very good job and your efforts are sincerely appreciated.”
Ajith Sagarwalal | Manager | 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 a 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 in a very competitive market, he helped us make offers that were within our budget yet 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® who delivers 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,. If you are trying to find a good agent, look no further.

Amar helped us with our home purchase in the Bay area. He is well-versed in real estate buying and selling and was helpful, offering sound advice and good strategies to complete our home purchase successfully.
His team helped us close the deal quickly, and he helped out by handling many things behind the scenes. Anyone who uses Amar as a real estate agent will be doing themselves a favor.
Sayali Kadam | Software Engineering Leader | Problem Solver | Google
Amar is able, hardworking and dedicated Realtor® who is ready to go to any extent to help his clients. He helped us buy our new house, which had 7 offers, including a cash offer of $10K more than ours. Amar allowed us to witness the offer presentation with the homeowner.
He is very good at presenting the offer and has great negotiation and convincing skills. We were first-time home buyers, and Amar and his team worked around the clock to close the deal in 21 days. Team Amar helped us through the whole process and made our Home-Buying experience very pleasant.
Prakash Ramadass | Entrepreneur| Investor | Dhyan Networks and Technologies
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’s 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 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 to Amar in a 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 cares about his client’s needs and protects their interests 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 that if you buy or sell property in the Bay Area and do not use AMAR, then you are missing something for sure.

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 on various websites, 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 on various websites impressed us. We immediately contacted him and the positive approach in his conversation confirmed his superior ability. Further, he started highlighting the advantages 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 the weekend and late nights to get a quick loan approval.
Finally, when we decided on our dream home, Amar took no time to visit and make an appraisal of the home and submitted the bid immediately. There were many bidders, and some of the bids exceeded 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 that our offer as a whole package is 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. Afterward, he guided us through all aspects of the next steps in the process, including escrow and closing, without any last-minute surprises. We realized later that the seller paid many of our fees due to Amar’s tactful negotiation. 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.

Surendra Chakkirala | Principal Engineer | Frore Systems
Amar and his team did an excellent job in getting us the home we liked. It was a multiple offer situation and Amar negotiated best deal at 5K lower than highest offer. Amar, with his contacts and negotiation, saved us a couple of thousand during closing.
Amar has a strong team that worked closely and round the clock. This helped winning the property in hot market. Amar was on top of all processes and guided us through the steps very well, and kept us well-informed all the time. He coordinated with the bank and the title company and ensured loan closing happened seamlessly.
I would highly recommend Amar and his team to anyone Home-Buying/selling.
Anurag Dikshit | Tired of working “inside the box”? | BayOne Solution
We were new home-buyers and expected to purchase in a few months. The process had been pretty swift, and we were able to close out the deal in close to two months.
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. Requests to view the property were timely. The e-document signing process during bidding & contracts was organized and has been a BIG time-saver.
It is better that the buyer does some homework 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 in keeping us on the right track, drawing on their extensive Bay Area real estate experience and prevailing market conditions.
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 recommendations could also be provided for the property repairs.
Overall discussion process has been prompt, clear, direct, friendly and polite. Not only above-state reasons, Amar also offers genuine advice to buyers for building long-term real-estate portfolio. I highly recommend potential buyers to choose Amar’s team for real estate services.
Mukesh Jyothi | Senior Director of Engineering | Blackhawk Network
It was indeed a great pleasure to work with such a smart and talented Realtor®, who 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 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 very helpful yet non-invasive role. 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.

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 had met “Amarnath” at the start of it. Nine months ago, when I started the house search with my first agent (Not Amar), it looked like driving up an uphill without any driving experience.
Experience with my first agent was a nightmare; there was 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 the market, it’s not the 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, Amar also proved that he is the best, and his first offer was accepted.
Amar has connections, market respect, and a team that will get you the house at the best price.
He has a team starting from the 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 the end goal is accomplished as smoothly as possible.
I strongly recommend Amar for any real estate needs.

Amar Amarnath is an excellent agent with extensive knowledge and experience in 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 a comparative study of homes sold, so we can also see prevailing market rates, which helps you determine the home’s actual market value 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 memories 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 a single word: “Superb!”
Amar’s logo E = MC² is a true representation of his service.
Right House+Right Price+Right Time= AMAR.

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 our very first conversation with Amar over the phone, we sensed 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, provided valuable feedback on what we were doing wrong. Within 2 hours, they streamlined our search area in the East Bay, bringing 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 channel all his resources and influence (including 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 minuscule $$. 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 give us the advantage on this home. They stayed up till 1:00 am 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 1:00 am 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.

I was introduced to Amar by one of my very good colleagues and friends. 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 initial conversations, I met with Amar, and he asked if I could trust him. I said yes. Looking back, I realized that trust is an important part of this whole process, and having the right person guiding you through it is extremely critical.
Honestly, Amar made the whole homebuying process too easy. He told me throughout the process 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 is 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!!!!

“I have dealt with Amar for my Home-Buying. He is very friendly and helpful in the transaction. He helped in negotiating and getting us the best price. I would be glad to recommend him to others.
Abhay Damle, CPA, CFE | Senior Director, Accounting and Financial Reporting | Essex Property Trust
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 developing the right strategy and executing it perfectly, Amar helped us secure the best possible deal in today’s hot property market. Amar even coordinated 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..
Ajay Khandelwal | Director, Data Integration | Optum
From the day we chose Amar as our Realtor®, it was smooth sailing. I have heard so many horror stories about the home-buying process, and I was very concerned about it. The day we decided to choose Amar and started the journey, all those worries were alleviated. We were first-time homebuyers 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 the seller could not overlook. Our offer was selected even though it was not the highest. He has extensive knowledge of the market and specific areas. He made sure that we don’t overpay anything than what we need to get the house. He also negotiated with the 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 and escrow to ensure everything went smoothly and stayed on schedule. He worked with the financial organization to secure rebates 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 the same questions multiple times (sign of a first-time home buyer), and every time, Amar and his team have explained it to me in the same detail with the 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.
Krishna Mallina | Vice President | Corporate Technology Applications |
My concerns were alleviated, and I have signed Amar as my Realtor® to help us sell our first home. He personally visited the property, took the initiative to work with difficult 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 in the property even before the property got listed to the public.
Amar was able to procure multiple offers and negotiate a potential offer to the maximum price point, which is well above our expectations. My home sold for the highest price in the complex’s history, setting a record. We were very happy with Amar’s services and the escrow company he has engaged to help us. Overall, our experience is nothing short of amazing with Amar. He is very meticulous, professional, and dedicated to his work.
Jitendra Malviya | Software Engineer Manager | LinkedIn
Its truly awesome feeling, “Sitting at home and remembering my Home-Buying experience, I feel lucky to have Amar and his team as my Realtors®.
With Amar’s expert help and guidance, I got my dream house in 2 weeks and completed the entire home-buying process in 15 days. It couldn’t be possible if it’s not Amar. Amar got personally involved in all stages of this process as I am a first-time home buyer. He and his team explained everything to make me comfortable, happy, and aware.
Right from the beginning of house search, Amar gave us an impression of being more than being just a Realtor® and was always available when I was in need for his guidance/help. Amar had the right strategy and perfect execution throughout the process. Amar is always on Top of things to make sure a smooth transaction.
Thanks very much for helping and getting this house for my family. With all your help & guidance, I got peace of mind. I am so glad to recommend your work and excellent service to any one.

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 I liked at one open house, and he made sure our first (and only) offer was accepted. I was in a somewhat desperate situation, given the extreme seller’s 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 well above the list price, he negotiated as if it were his own money and made an offer that was substantially lower than what I authorized. There were at least 10 offers on the home, and the seller’s agent had made counteroffers to 5 buyers. Because of the competition, I asked him numerous times during the offer process whether our offer would 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 more than he needs to 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 and escrow to smooth everything out and keep it 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 you have any questions, he is available to talk as long as he is awake.
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.
Jasvinder Singh | Director of Program Management | Fiserv
In today’s crazy market, where all houses are going above the listing price, it is really tough to get a home of your choice. In such a tough market, it is crucial to have the right agent with good contacts. Amar is a super-agent. He knows and understands his buyers and their needs very well.
We were first-time homebuyers 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 the seller could not overlook, and our offer was selected without a counteroffer, even though it was not the highest.
Once our offer was accepted, Amar made sure he was involved in all processes, i.e., appraisal, Loan, and escrow, and that we had all necessary documents in place for closing. Amar worked closely with the loan officers to ensure the entire loan process was smooth and easy. He even suggested various Loan options to us. He had very professional and efficient team and always stayed on top of all things. More importantly, he was very proactive and responded 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 the seller to leave the 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 many other first-time home buyers in the future with your kind and helpful attitude.

Our home buy was only possible due to Amar’s diligence, network with banking/Realtors®/related services & keen market sense!! Cupertino is a competitive realty market & kudos to him in making it happen end to end! – from putting together a creative offer package with the right price (not just max $, & less than our max budget), negotiating with the listing agents to understand sellers’ interests (late night on one instance), to helping with bank loan (you personally helped get us $2K credit), closing, home warranty… etc.
Speaking for my wife & I – we love working with you & we know we can approach you anytime… To us, you are a great friend, beyond just a Realtor®. Our experience with you has been excellent & we would recommend you to anyone in a heartbeat!!!

When buying a house, there are so many things to consider: a good community, being close to work, good school ratings, and, above all, a GOOD PRICE!! When we decided to buy a house, we knew our requirements, but we wanted an EXPERT who could walk us through the whole process. The moment we met Amar, we realized he was the one we could discuss it with thoroughly.
We always liked new Home constructions, and we ended up buying one. Amar played his role perfectly as our Realtor®.
Amar negotiated so well with the builder’s agent and got us a very good deal. During his surfire negotiation process, Amar saved us over 30K to the bottom line. Amar has THE BEST TEAM which helped us in easing the Home-Buying process.
To summarize, I would say it was a pleasure to have Amar as our Realtor®.”

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 the seller on why we would be the perfect owners for the place, and sold the seller 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 was 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.

We were looking for a Realtor® to help us in our home-buying process. I’m so glad we found Amar on LinkedIn. He and his associates helped and guided us throughout the whole process from house hunting to loan application and closing seemlessly.
Amar was highly committed, professional, and coordinated every phase, so we did not have to worry about deadlines. With his great team and strong network, we were able to close on the Home we loved, even in a multiple offer situation. Today’s real estate market, the quality of professional service, and proactive action matter a lot in producing exceptional results. Our Home-Buying experience was straightforward and highly satisfactory. I would happily recommend Amar to any of my friends looking to buy a Home.

Amar is one of THE BEST Realtor® we have worked with. His execution is fast and at the same time flawless. He correctly executed a strategy and put a winning bid. This was our first ever bid in the Bay Area, and we won it!. The outstanding results themselves speak volumes about his execution and strategy winning the deal in a crazy multiple offers situation in the Bay Area.
Amar’s service goes beyond winning the bid; he coordinated every step and engaged stakeholders in a timely manner to close the deal efficiently. He has a great team of people who goes out of the way to provide exceptional service and guidance. He also managed get us a great savings in closing costs and very good interest rate without PMI.
I’d gladly recommend Amar to any of my friends/colleagues/relatives and will definitely engage him for any future Home-Buying/Selling.
Kishore Kumar | 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 neighborhoods 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 was personally involved in all areas like Appraisal, Loan, Escrow, and the closing process, and guided us throughout the 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 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.

Amar is definitely the best Realtor® I’ve worked with. He was very personable and has a deep knowledge of the Bay Area real estate market.
Amar established a very good relationship with the Selling Agent, which I think was the key to us getting the house.
Amar made the whole Home-Buying process seamless. He exceeded our expectations with his unmatched service and value proposition. I will definitely recommend Amar to my friends and colleagues for any Real estate guidance and help

Amar has the uncanny knack of figuring out the seller’s mind and developing a relationship with agents to win the offer.
In our case, Amar helped us secure our house without getting into a bidding war by drafting an offer in record time. Amar saved around $29K to our bottom line as his direct contribution. Amar is very responsive and can be reached at almost any time.

Aravindh Baktha | Principal Architect 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 shortlist 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 ensured we only saw houses that met our criteria. He gave us his assessment of the homes we saw, but never pressured us into making an offer. When we were ready to make an offer, he made sure we were 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 an 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.
Subra Venkatesh | Head – Data Analytics | Worldpay
We have been looking for an ideal home for over a year and a half now . We met Amar 3 months back through one of our family friends and we just got the keys to our new house yesterday. There are several great things which I have seen and experienced in working with Amar.

– 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.

I would definitely recommend him anytime for any real estate needs. Thank You and Awesome job Amar!!!
Umesh Chandwani | Staff Software Engineer | Turo
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 that is not on the market, but there were issues, such as an extended renter occupancy period, which prevented the deal from going 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 overbidding 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 is 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.
Kishan Singh | SVP Of Engineering | Williams-Sonoma, Inc.
We can describe our experience with Amar in a 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 has been very engaged at every step of the process. He quickly understood our requirements for a good school district, the home’s location, price point, and, most importantly, the need for a Vastu-compliant home for certain aspects. He engaged our whole family, including our kids, to understand everyone’s requirements and individual expectations for the 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 a winning offer, meticulous negotiation skills, and a proactive approach helped us close 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-out strategy and execution plan. He always stayed on top of everything, sometimes 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 would take care of everything . He also took extra time to follow up with us to make sure we had settled into our new home.
Amar’s key strengths are developing relationships with sellers’ agents, negotiation skills, and his extensive market knowledge, which are priceless. Getting a home at the best possible price was quite tough in this competitive market, and Amar has exceeded our expectations in 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…..
Vishwanatha Bhat | Director – Software Engineering | Roku Inc.
Amar and his team did a great job in my home-buying experience. He is trustworthy and very knowledgeable in the Bay Area real estate and has a very good team of professionals to help us in all the steps of Home-Buying.
Divakar Karavadi | Change & Release Manager | Gap
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.
As a first-time homebuyer and someone who worries even when there is nothing to worry about, I always felt at ease working with Amar. All my questions were answered within 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.
Amar’s key strengths are developing relationships with agents, sure-fire negotiations, and right guidance throughout the home-buying process, which is priceless. In our collaboration process, by going beyond the call of duty, Amar saved us over 14K PLUS 9K below the list price instead of overbidding. Amar staying on TOP of EVERY activity in the entire process to make sure end goal is accomplished as smooth as possible.
I can say one word that says everything about Amar’s service !! Excellente !!! Mucho Gracias !!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Kalyan Chanda | Quality Engineering Leader | Alteryx
We are first-time home buyers and have been looking for a home for a while. As with most home buyers, our selection criteria were good community, school district, proximity to work, and price point. Given the competitive housing market, we wanted a great agent who could understand our requirements, the 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 met our criteria, Amar wasted no time formulating and presenting a winning offer before 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.
Ankala Shreekant | Hands-on software tinkerer | Dremio
Amar, it was truly a great experience buying my first home with you. You have been most helpful through out the process. 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. We feel that you are best agent when it comes to helping first time buyers. Your insights in all the areas helped us a great deal
Pradip Kar | Engineer | AMD
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 because it met 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 popular with many buyers because it is nice. All buyers have to go through the next stressful step: the 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 set my offer price at 66K above 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 was 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® presents my offer price and asks more to get the house, but Amar clearly demonstrated in actions the client’s best interest well above and beyond. As a result of his actions, a unique approach with the listing agent, and a proven strategy saved us 46K.
Amar was more interested in the 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.
Asok Tiyyagura | Senior Manager | Rivian
Amar was excellent at guiding us throughout the process and making our first time buying a home 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 to win the property at 15K less than the authorized price in 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 throughout this process, and I sincerely appreciate his close collaboration in helping us get our dream Home.
Karthik Lakshmanan | Principal Engineer/Engineering Director | Google
AMAR is absolutely more than a Realtor®. If you love a house and want to make it yours, Amar is THE BEST representative you can imagine. He does a thorough analysis and the best strategy to win the offer. Amar has the uncanny knack of reading the seller’s mind and building relationships with agents.
In our case, Amar helped us get our house without getting into a bidding war by constructing a offer within record time. Amar recovered over 5K in closing costs and helped us by referring us to an amazing network of providers for everything from mortgages to home warranties. The best thing about Amar is that he is highly responsive and you can reach him almost anytime. He can execute deals in record time largely due to going above and beyond with his hard work and an excellent network. Amar also helped us get the refrigerator, washer, and dryer as part of the offer, which made the house move-in ready and helped us get started right away.
The whole process from open houses to close of escrow was super smooth. Amar definitely exceeded our expectations with unmatched service and VALUE proposition. I will whole-heartedly recommend Amar to my friends and colleagues for Real estate guidance and help.

Amar,
Thank you so much for being such a great friend and the best and ultimate real estate agent for me and my family. You went out of your way to get us this Home, which 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 rising, 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 with 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®. Amar’s strong execution abilities, the breadth of his real estate domain expertise makes him an invaluable asset to any Buyer/Seller. Thanks so much for everything Amar!
Best Regards, Srikant.

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 goes above and beyond to provide 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’s motivations and situations for selling the home.
Amar put together an offer package and worked closely with the listing agent to WIN the deal before the offer deadline without competition and a 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 is personally involved in all the areas of our Home-Buying process(Appraisal, Loan, Inspections, Escrow, Insurance, and closing). He has a great team of people to make the 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, from beginning to end, went so smoothly and gave me peace of mind thanks to Amar’s hard work, dedication, and expertise. We are 2nd-time home buyers and have a lot of real estate knowledge. Amar and team make a BIG difference in the journey of the home-buying process. Thank you so much, Amar, for all your contributions in our home-buying process.
Satyanarayana Vutukury | Lead Software Engineer | 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 check out a house, he would already be there waiting for us. He showed us many houses patiently and explained the pros and cons of various options. Amar also connected us with lenders to better understand the loan process. 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 will make your home-buying experience a very pleasant one.
Tasneem Dalal | Obsessed with product innovation | MMR Research 
Mr. Amar has made the home-buying experience extremely EASY and stress-free for us. We had been looking for a house for two years and have talked to a myriad of agents, we were then recommended Amar in May. By 1st week of July, we owned our dream home. Amar got us a great value on our home, which speaks volumes about Amar in a market with a bidding war.
Amar was extremely involved throughout the home-buying process, from loan pre-approval to closing, and made sure everything was on track and completed promptly. Amar saved us over 15K towards closing cost.
In a nutshell, one cannot go wrong with Mr. Amar as a Real Estate agent. He is extremely knowledgeable and diligent about the real estate market. Throughout the home-buying experience, we have made a good friend as well, and we will be forever grateful to him for helping us buy our home.
Srini Koushik | 50 AI Leader, Chief Executive Officer | Right Brain LabsTop
Over the past 25 years, we have purchased several properties around the country and have worked with several professional agents who 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.

Ashish Kumar | Product | Walmart
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.
From the first offer we made, I knew Amar was the person who could get me a house in this tough market. Amar got me a win-win deal, and then taking care of all closing costs was an added bonus. Above all, when I saw the house photos in the appraisal report and learned he had cleaned the house for the appraisal, I was 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.
Raju Chamarthi | Provost and Chief Academic Officer | University of Silicon Andhra 
Amar,
Thank you very much for all your help with my home purchases. It is a 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 stay on top of things on my end, especially given 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 the 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, Raju.

Amar is the true definition of “Excellence in Service”. You can only be good at something if you are genuinely passionate about it, and it is clear why Amar does such a great job. His motto of helping his clients end-to-end is truly unmatched. He listened to what we were looking for and guided us through the entire process, offering many options. When we were looking, Amar helped us select the right houses. In some cases, he pointed out concerns we overlooked in our choices.
Once we converged on a place, he pursued it very aggressively and got us an amazing deal. 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 a rare combination to find in any Realtor® in the Bay Area. He puts himself in the place of a buyer/seller and that shows in the quality of service and outstanding results he delivers to his clients.
I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their house in the Bay Area.

Our home-buying experience with Amar has been outstanding. Amar truly has a very unique approach to guiding you through the whole process. To start, before he gets into any transactional details, Amar completely eliminates the inherent fear/skepticism/stress that come with handling real estate, which is especially important in a high-stress market like the Bay Area.
In more detail, Amar first focused on 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 ecosystem of professionals who make the entire process stress-free, from the offer to mortgage to insurance to post-purchase house maintenance. Amar saved a lot of money throughout the process, which exceeded our expectations. Amar is a one-stop shop for real estate needs for anyone in the Bay Area.

Amar is an excellent “ALL IN ALL” real estate agent who is just “AWESOME”. He has an amazing team of people working collaboratively, including the best loan and insurance agents, among 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 an 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 expectations. We earned a good friend in Amar. So if you are a buyer or a seller Amar is your go-to person..

We were looking for a good investment property, and Amar understood our requirements perfectly. He said he would keep that in mind and let us know when he finds the right property at the right value. One fine day, Amar called us on May 4th and told us of the great investment property listed for $630K. We told him we cannot pay more than $650K. He came to our house in person on May 5th to let us know we got the house. We were really surprised because there was no back-and-forth stressful negotiation that usually happens during the 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 overbidding market. Amar’s 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 were buying a 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 the 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 owned 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, 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 a lot of time, money, and stress for a prospective home buyer.

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 talked to a couple of agents. I have 24 days to move out of the home and am looking for a great school district with a limited budget.
Amar understood our situation and started focusing on us to get a 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 was 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 the US) matter in the big picture.
YES! Amar closed the home for less than $9,950 below the list price in a multiple-offer situation, and there are offers above the list price. How it’s possible in the crazy market. The way Amar packaged our offer and the 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 the listing agent and seller to go with the 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, executing 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 is on top of the 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 has shown me a great example of what a professional agent means, and totally changed my impression of agents. 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.
Amar is the true meaning of his mission: E = MC² E: Excellency in Service M: My expertise in meeting Clients Goals C: Clients for a Lifetime C: Creativity to achieve Exceptional Results

“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 were submitted, a few got counters, and nothing was 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 the other agents we have been working with. Amar came across someone with in-depth knowledge of the Bay Area real estate market and who knows how to win under pressure. He was very very cooperative in understanding our requirements and guiding us through various areas.
With multiple setbacks, we had very little hope of 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 that soothes the buyers and gives them peace of mind. A couple of days after submitting our offer, to our surprise, Amar came back to us to say it was 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 on top of things, he also made us understand the various aspects of being a homeowner. 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 like I have 24 hours in a day, but Amar has 30. 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!

I don’t know whether to say it was destiny or luck that we 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 recovered a large sum 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. Despite this, we were completely stress-free and did not have to think about a 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, 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!

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 the days of my first contact with Amar, which happened only three months ago, in January 2013. Since then, our interactions have been nothing but pleasant as we’ve worked together on our home-buying experience. We toured homes together, and in that process, Amar explained to us several pros and cons in each property, educating us and giving his honest opinion about the homes and whether it is worth proceeding 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 the home-buying process and is available to tour homes at the first available opportunity. He utilizes his enormous experience in the real estate business and transfers that knowledge to help his clients and goes out of his way in doing so. I can attest to that with my own experience: Amar helped me secure a great deal while negotiating in a highly competitive environment, with multiple attractive offers from competitors.
Amar’s reputation in the real estate business, methodical approach and analysis, highest standards of ethics, professional handling of negotiations, and ability to convince the seller’s agents are phenomenal. More importantly, the personal touch he brings to the 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 a wonderful team that makes the home-buying process quite comfortable and, importantly, also enjoyable, closing the deal in record time. He takes very proactive care to ensure the process is moving smoothly by going above and beyond. Amar is involved in the loan pre-approval process, coordination and engagement with the 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 benefited a great deal by approaching Amar Amarnath for our home purchase. I strongly advise potential home buyers to utilize his professional experience to their benefit.
Thanks,
Ravi Shankar and Shailaja Renduchintala

In my opinion, Amar is the best real estate agent in the 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 the Bay Area. He is very friendly and 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 can 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 documented each home we considered, which greatly helped us make the 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, but also saved us a very good amount of money in the whole process.
Most importantly, there were more competing offers from the listing agent’s office. With Amar’s unique approach and proven strategy, we were able to win our offer in a 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 at heart.
Amar followed up with the seller’s agent very proactively and professionally. 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 Milestone (KMS) in the Home-Buying process steps in detail. The entire home-buying process, from acceptance of the offer to closing of escrow, was 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).

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 homeowner 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 handle the 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 on execution gives a huge advantage in the current challenging market environment.
- Amar believes in establishing long-term relationships with his clients. He is not someone who vanishes after the transaction is complete. He really cares about his clients and wants to get the best deal that suits them.
- Amar will definitely help with his treasure trove of real estate knowledge.
Amit Sangani | Sr. Director of AI Engineering | Meta
Hands down, Amar is one of the best real estate agents in the Bay Area! We were looking for a home in Los Altos/Palo Alto in a crazy market where each home was receiving 5+ offers at a minimum. Amar found a beautiful home for us at an excellent value. Amazingly, he won the deal for $40K less than the highest offer. How did he do it? He made an extremely enticing offer to the seller, almost as good as a cash offer, but not quite 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 toward the closing costs – saving us almost $55K- and found an extremely valuable property that we both agree can be sold for $200K above what we paid 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. Amar –
– Understands the Bay Area market really well.
– Evaluates each home as if he were looking for his own family
– Does not waste time bidding on properties that do not provide value for his buyers
– Negotiates and puts an extremely compelling offer that 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 on an opportunity!

Amar is one of the most genuine people we have met, and he has deep knowledge in the real estate business. He helped us get our first home, for which there were 40+ bidders and multiple cash offers , and convinced the sellers to pick us. He guided us throughout the process from pre-approval to getting the loan and helped to make an informed decision.
His ability to understand the customer’s unique requirements and then try to match a house that satisfies most is simply amazing. He also helped us save a lot of money in the closing costs and got us the best rates ever. Overall a very satisfying experience. I would recommend Amar to anyone who is thinking of buying a home in the Bay Area.
Dharamendra Krishnamurthi | Sr Test Engineer | Amazon
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 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 this house to Amar. We wanted to see how Amar works, so that we can decide whether to utilize his services in 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 hardworking, ensuring we were kept updated, and, most importantly, making sure he gets the best out of his extended team to make this happen for us, reassuring us all along the way.
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.

Sunil Gutlapalli | A10 Networks
We were looking for a home in the Bay Area for about a year, and we almost gave up, but 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 the right track. Amar came with us to see multiple houses and answered all our questions. He always discussed the pros and cons of each house, tried to understand what we wanted, and provided honest feedback.
Amar wrote an 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 during the home inspection, Amar gave us an honest assessment of whether to cancel the offer. Surprisingly, after a week, the seller contacted Amar and wanted to renegotiate the offer and fix the termite issue. When I talked to the seller, he said, “You are getting the offer because of Amar, he is the Best Real Estate Agent I have ever seen.” (The seller himself is a real estate agent.) I was a little nervous initially, and Amar said, ” Relax, I will take care of everything. Amar took care of everything throughout the process. Amar negotiated with the seller and added additional items and saved us a lot of money. He made our home-buying experience memorable.
Amar helped us at every stage, from pre-approval to Escrow closing. He helped us with the last-minute appraisal glitch and had his team rush to close escrow as per plan. Amar even suggested the best option for us in holding the title, where agents generally don’t care.
With Amar, you will have peace of mind, and he makes the best memorable Home-Buying experience for you.
Seetharama Ayyadevara | Technologist & Engineering Leader | Akamai Technologies 
In the South Bay Area, buying a home with good schools and a price under $1 million is not easy. There are, and continue to be, more people looking to buy homes in this range since the difference between rent and mortgage is negligible. Even though you really liked the house and wanted to buy it, there is a good possibility that you would not be able to get the house because of the multiple offers and heavy bidding. Now that the 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 on our home, there were more than two offers at higher prices than ours. 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 the seller’s agent and worked hard to get the offer accepted. Amar is highly responsive and is very helpful. He also saved us 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 obtain the loan and close escrow on time. It took us about two weeks from accepting the offer to getting the keys. It normally takes around 45 days. It is a testament to the hard work and smarts Amar put to use on our behalf to get the house we can afford in a good school district. Without Amar, we would not have gotten our new home.
Rahul Srivastava | Embedded Software Engineer | Meta
It gives me great pleasure to write about our Home-Buying experience with Amar.
Amar is one of the hardest-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 timely, confident decisions about a property. 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, 40K below the house’s market value, based on recently sold comparables in that neighbourhood in a multiple-offer situation. YES. Amar made it possible with his right offer strategy and great interpersonal skills. Amar set up a friendly meeting with the seller, the listing agent, and us to build a relationship/trust, and then presented the offer package with the right keys and communication.
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 about many things, but Amar guided us through the whole process without any hitches. Another quality of Amar is that he is very patient and not pushy like some other Realtors®. He never nudged us into buying something we were unsure 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, he 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 a great value proposition and quality of the transaction.”
Kumaran Santhanakrishnan | Automation/Performance Specialist
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 chose to make the seller accept the deal is fantastic.
-Your encouragement and directions gave me the strength to make this bold move.
-Your dedication to saving money for 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 why 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 by how passionate he is about his work. Before meeting Amar, we had been looking for a house for almost 2+ years and had not found one that met our expectations. Amar found the house, which met our expectations perfectly, in less than a month’s time. He is very honest in providing his feedback on all the properties he showed to us. He is an expert at calculating the true value of a property in a specific area. It was amazing for us to see how granular his data was about a particular house, including upgrades, neighborhood, value, etc. This really helped us in making our decision fast and easily. In fact, he spent more time in the property and its neighborhood than we did. He provided guidance in all aspects, starting from lining up a loan agent, inspection, insurance, and contractors (if you need one). If you want to save time and money, I recommend going with these people without hesitation.
He has the best contacts in all aspects.
-Very patient and prompt in answering any question (I asked many silly questions, sorry Amar) at any point in time.
-Take oncoming unexpected problems (eg, loan conditions) into his hands personally, fix them, and just inform you at the end. Just as an agent, he doesn’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 provides 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 a 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 your patience, confidence, and never-give-up mentality, which really helped in getting this house.

It gives me great pleasure to share my dream Home-Buying experience through Amar Amarnath as my Realtor®. It just took 70 days from
the time I decided to buy a home to the close of escrow. Amar helped me in making the right decisions in each and every step of the Home-Buying process. Amar look at the value proposition of the property before making the recommendation to his clients. The great quality I saw in Amar was in providing unbiased feedback when I had to decide on something. Being the president of a non-profit international Telugu organization ‘SiliconAndhra’, I have come across many Realtors® in the market, but I am very lucky that I have chosen Amar as my Realtor®.
His integrity, client-first approach, community expertise, dynamism, in-depth market knowledge and great negotiating skills helped me not only in buying my dream home but also saved more than $31368 dollars overall. His strengths described above helped me to close the deal even before the house was out on the open house for sale, besides convincing the seller to accept the offer for $14k less than the list price in a highly demanding seller’s market.
Sindhu (Tatimatla) Srivastava | CEO and Founder | We Crush AI
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 more than $8K in 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 good luck that only smiles on people who are great human beings.
Amar was personally involved in every step of our home purchase process – from getting our pre-approval to visiting 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 interests 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.
Hanuma Challa | Principal Software Automation Engineer | EMC
As a first-time homebuyer, I was a little nervous at first. But Amar explained the whole home-buying process very clearly. Amar listens to his client’s inputs and feedback very patiently to understand the 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, the real value of the house, the pros and cons of the house, and works as a team in making informed decisions.
Amar is simply a great Realtor® and enjoys his profession. Amar uses his management skills in the technology industry to go with the 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 a lower price. His loan agents are great at getting the lowest rate and closing 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 a multiple-offer 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 the right home at a great price. Amar Real Estate Service exceeded my expectations and delivered exceptional results at the highest level.
I would highly recommend Amar for anyone buying/selling home.
Sarang Dharmapurikar | CEO | Agentic AI for DevOps, SRE, ITOps | DagKnows, Inc
“Amar is a 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 was able to get the home (Cupertino) 10K below the asking price in a multiple-offer 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!”

It is my pleasure to share my home-buying experience with Amar as my Realtor®. I have been looking for a house in the Bay Area for more than a year, and after meeting Amar (one of my friends referred me), he made my dream come true within one and a half months.
Amar guided me through each step of the home-buying process, like my big brother. Unlike other agents, Amar really studies the potential value of the property, including the seasonal price effect, comparables in the market, assessment of the property conditions, and provides unbiased feedback. Amar is not just a real estate agent; he is a real estate system with a very strong team, including Yogesh, the loan agent, home inspectors, and other experts in the home-buying process. I am very glad to say that Amar saved me over $17K in this transaction, and I got an excellent mortgage rate. Most importantly, Amar got me my dream home for over 100K less than market value. It’s amazing the way Amar handles the entire transaction. This is only possible no one else but Amar.
Mine is a shot sale transaction with multiple (6) offers, which is very tough to crack. In the sort sale, the seller/seller agents are very tough to deal with; they like to sell the property to their relatives or friends, not to other people, because properties are at a discounted price. Amar really crossed many extra miles above and beyond for me in dealing with these people to close the transaction with a pleasant ending.
Amar put his client’s interests above all else. Amar is my only Realtor® forever. I am very thankful to Amar.
Sridhar Meda | Sr. Manager, Software Development – Global Fraud & Risk Platform | PayPal
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, going above and beyond, will be one of my greatest memories forever. Here is my experience of a 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 completing the pre-approval process, we found a house that met all my criteria 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 wholeheartedly to move forward with the first house.
Amar was able to engage the Seller’s Realtor® and 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. Throughout the process, there were several times when we almost thought the offer would not be accepted or that we would be bumped out by other parties. Amar was on top of the situation at all times and was deeply involved in the transaction to secure our offerby all means . With Amar’s creative ideas, we overcame all the roadblocks during the 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 the 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 the right way. I first have to thank my friend for referring Amar to Amar and his team, and to me for making this happen so smoothly and professionally. As mentioned above, I can’t imagine going to others for my realty needs. Amar and his team are my team for Life. Period.
Smitha Idikuda | Business System Analyst | Bank of America
We connected with Amar through a friend and some of our other church friends had provided very positive feedback. The common thread in all the feedback was that Amar was the best at what he does, very reliable, and trustworthy.
Our first meeting with Amar was merely 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 the East Coast and decided to rent out our home after a short stint listing it for sale.
We were convinced after the first meeting that Amar was exceptional and would do the best. We requested him to take over and initiate the process. Within two days, he set up an open house, collected applications, analyzed the profiles, and, in 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 the loop on all the activities, and made us his top priority. He is extremely good at filtering the right applicants. In summary, Amar is the best at creative thinking.
Since then, Amar has always been 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 who is looking for an excellent real estate agent. We bet that Amar would exceed all expectations.

Nagendra Cherukupalli | IEEE Fellow & Renewable energy expert | Xponent Power
Amar handled the entire rental transaction very professionally. Starting with an initial home inspection, he guided us through the steps needed 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.

Suresh Koti | Sr Manager Cloud Operations and Platform Engineering | Sage
It’s truly amazing and I could not believe that we own a house now. We would say without Amar this could have happened 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 a brotherhood rather than professional help. The way Amar ensured and negotiated this whole deal, right from submitting the offer to getting the offer accepted, we have no words to express. To win a contract 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 Amar’s true professional skill.
Amar is a great subject matter expert in Real Estate. The way Amar took the effort to go and meet the lender, making sure the loan is approved and funds are released in time, is not only that, but also making sure we get the maximum credit, which is awesome.
Amar saved us over $18K in the Home-Buying process in a 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 the 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.
Srinivasa Gundala | Cradlepoint
I would to share my recent real estate service experience with Amar. It’s an amazing experience with peace of mind and saved over $10,000 during the process. I have called Amar and asked him to prepare my property for rent since I have relocated to India. That is all I had to do, and Amar took care of everything else.
Amar visited the property multiple times and identified what needed to be done to maximize value for the money. He hired professionals at a fraction of the cost. Amar visited various shops to secure the best rates on materials and completed the luxury remodel in under 2 weeks at the lowest cost. Amar helped me to write a rental agreement with the new tenant and make sure that the process is smooth.
I thank Amar for doing the work as if it is his own home. He saved me a good amount of money and time. I thank Amar for his time and hearty efforts. Amar’s exceptional service and clients’ interest above all differentiate him from the rest of the Realtors®. I thank GOD for giving me such a good friend. I strongly recommend Amar for real estate needs. May God bless him and give him good success in the real estate profession in which he has a passion.
Thanks, Srinivasa Reddy Gundala

We had been looking for homes for the past three months in the Bay Area. We met Amar a month ago, and he seemed very knowledgeable in answering our questions about buying a home. We started looking for houses with Amar.
In EIGHT days, We found a house we just loved. Amar worked so hard and got us this house. He saved us $8000 in this whole process. He successfully closed the deal in just 3 weeks. Amar, We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation for all of your assistance, guidance, and advice in purchasing our home in San Ramon.
Thank you so much for everything you have done for us! You made the process of finding our dream home so nice & so quick.
John Barrington | EVP Performance Marketing | Sage
It’s Sunday, May 20th, 2012, and I am sitting in my new house. What is remarkable about this is that I first set eyes on this house 21 days ago. Without Amar, there is no chance I would be sitting here watching the soup and writing this recommendation. He was simply incredible in his analysis of the value of the property, winning the house against 12 bidders, helping with the loan, insurance, and simply being a great partner through every step of the process.
Not only was he incredibly supportive, but Amar then went that step further and saved us over 30K. 20K was during the offer stage, where, through Amar’s negotiating skills, we saved 20K and had our offer accepted, even though it was not the highest, and the second was in retrieving 5K from the seller and 5K from the lending bank. Above all else, Amar is a really nice guy. We actually had a lot of fun in closing the deal in 15 days. I would recommend him to anyone!
Thanks, JB
Leena Singh | Client/Customer Centric | Blumetra Solutions 
We really appreciate Amar’s extra efforts in closing the deal for our house. His dedication, commitment, and expertise in real estate, as well as his empathy in dealing with the rest of the folks, led to the acceptance of our offer.
Also, we are thankful to him for arranging for follow-ups and for providing contacts for upgrades to the house to be done in a timely manner.
Our good wishes are always with him!
Kishore Kumar Aenugu | Barracuda Networks (India) Private Ltd 
Amar was introduced to us through a colleague at work. We were first-time home buyers. From day one, he has been very helpful, patiently explaining everything involved and guiding us throughout the process step by step.
Amar’s excellent negotiation skills have seen us save more than $25k in various stages of the Home-Buying process (offer price, loan credits or closing costs). He has also handled the rent-back process for the seller, even though he was not required to. Amar’s above-and-beyond nature has helped us save a lot of money throughout the process.
We are greatly indebted to Amar for securing the home we wanted at a reasonable price and for helping us in every possible way to get it done at the minimum cost to us. Every time we felt that we were missing out because of some issues, Amar has pulled off seemingly impossible things through his proven strategies, sure-fire negotiations, and contacts.
Words cannot express our gratitude to Amar for helping us buy this home. Thanks a lot, Amar, for making us feel important and standing by us in every aspect in the process.
Deepika Tetali | Sr. Software Analyst | Oracle
We are very happy to know you and to work with you. You were very personable and knowledgeable in answering our questions and helping us to make the right decisions in the process of buying our first new home. We appreciate your quick response in setting up the appointments to view the houses, even with a short notice.
We were extremely impressed by your level of commitment; you continued to work with us to meet our needs and answered our questions right up to the settlement date. As a first time buyer, it would have been really hard to go through process of buying a house. But with your help it went like a walk in the park.
We thank you for your hard work. And defiantly recommend you to the other buyers.
Sincerely, Deepika and Dheeraj
Vamsi Mareddy | Devops Engineer | Workday
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 the time to understand your requirements and tells you candidly about the market and what to expect. He then makes sure that every home he recommends is something worth pondering about, weighing the pros and cons.
Once an offer is made, rest assured that it will be followed up on very closely and you will be 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.
Venkat Rajappan | SW Product Development | Lattice Semiconductor
Amar is a top-expert in all aspects of real estate. He is extremely passionate about his work and strives to achieve maximum value in every transaction of the home-buying process. He addresses client concerns immediately and ensures all loose ends are tied up to the client’s utmost satisfaction. He is an excellent negotiator and is a true winner for all parties.
Amar takes the extra mile and goes beyond the call of duty, and cares deeply for the livability of the home as if it were his own. Once we identified the home, Amar immediately engaged his team to bring the process to a successful and satisfactory closure. He is very methodical and abreast of the latest developments in real estate/home-building/loan-process/closure-process, and works hard to preserve value to the client in each of these steps, bringing exceptional standards to this profession. With his top negotiating skills, he saved us approx. 15K. on this home. He truly means it on his motto of “Clients for a Lifetime’.
Amar is an honest person who conducts himself with dignity and abides by a strong sense of fairness. Amar is a keen listener and provides solutions tailored to the needs of the client. He takes great effort in guiding the buyer thru the complexities of home-buying and ensures a pleasant and positive experience all through. Amar takes great personal delight in being the Agent of Change in his clients’ lives and in finding the right homes for buyers. He maintains excellent relationships with all sides, builds trust and leverages it to find the best possible deal.
Had it not been for Amar, we do not think we would have closed successfully on this home. His guidance and expertise have been invaluable in finding our home !!!
Kul Bhushan | Founder | Vibnox
One of my friends referred me to Mr. Amar, 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 support us on every step.
Amar is very professional, trustworthy, and a man of integrity. Throughout the complete transaction, he was on top of things and very prompt and responsive. And most importantly, he saved us thousands of dollars, which we were not expecting at all. This was his personal deal, and he worked so hard on it to get this house for us at the best value.
Amar provided his excellent services as a real estate agent. Amar has a great sense of ethics and duty. I’m so proud that he is a part of our family now. I would highly recommend him for any real estate needs and look forward to working with him again. You are the best Amar!!!
Shashikant Kale | Principal Engineer | Intel Corporation
Amar is the best asset to prospective home-buyers. Buying a house is a complex process for a first-time buyer, as we are not familiar with the entire process. But luckily, we are having Amar (best in market) on our side and made this “buying a House” experience a very easy task. Amar handled the entire situation in a 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 makes him unique in understanding our requirements and executing the plan to fulfill all the requirements beyond our expectations. Amar has a unique quality to foresee all the challenges and try to find possible workarounds by making the right decision at the right time. With his excellent negotiation skills, he managed to win the bid at 4% less than the other 3 counteroffers.
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 the right time is highly commendable. His knowledge/analysis to find pros and cons for any given house and provide true insight about the house make 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 proud owners of one. The whole credit goes to Amar and his team.
Finally, Amar has an excellent network of professionals. 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 justifies his motto, “E=MC2,” excellence in service, and meeting client goals for a lifetime.
I’d recommend Amar to represent you to guide how to save money while searching and finalizing the dream house and turn that into great future asset.
Kudos to all his Effort….
Sarabjeet Singh | Director of Engineering | 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 a great network of professionals whom he engages at the right time in the process – 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. Multiple buyers were 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 correctly read the situation of the seller’s agent and did not give in to the pressure. We had almost given up hope, but Amar surprised us by announcing that our offer had been accepted. This could not have happened without Amar’s honed planning and negotiation skills.
Once the offer was accepted, Amar took care of inspections, the 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 escrow closes. 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!!
Lalith Kancharla | Engineer | Google
I never felt that Amar was an outside person trying to offer you something. My first home-buying experience cannot be more pleasurable than this…
Amar trained me in all the tools required to make 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 a multiple-offer 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 handled the home inspection, termite inspection, mortgage consultant, escrow, and repairs at the best possible deal. In this process, Amar’s actions not only saved me over 5K but also time and effort. After closing the deal, Amar followed up to make sure everything was in order and offered to help resolve any issues with the property.
Amar’s constant and proactive efforts and guidance throughout the process is an amazing experience and a joyful journey.
In short, Amar is a reflection of you who guides you to make informed decisions. It was a pleasure experience Amar. I would recommend Amar to anyone who is looking for a dream Home.
Carl White | The Top Mortgage Training program for loan officers | Mortgage Marketing Animals
Amar comes with my highest recommendations. He is always looking for new ideas to assist his clients.
I admire him for his creative work and his willingness to “give first”.
You would be doing yourself a favor to align yourself with Amar as I have.

Amar is the best thing that can happen to prospective homebuyers, whether first-time or investment. 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, simple terms so that homebuyers are clear about what to expect in the coming weeks and months as they progress toward property ownership.
Amar makes a point of visiting all the listed properties with his clients. He scrutinizes each property with a sharp eye and offers critical advice on its pros and cons. 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, 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 were 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!
Ajaya Agrawalla | Founder & CEO | ClearStack 
Dear Amar
Thanks for being the catalyst for me to buy this REO home. You know exactly what I wanted and your ears and eyes were on alert to find the property that we wanted.
You have been great throughout the process, including negotiating a price below what we authorized. That was really cool, and thanks for getting us the best price. You have been there through the whole process.
We are all moved in and will see you soon.

Sean Lie | Co-Founder and CTO 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, fumigators, etc.) allowed us to receive quality service and deals at a moment’s 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

Our Journey with Amar…
We recently bought our first home. Which we never thought we could have, btw, if it were not for Amar. Hearing others’ experiences, it sounded like purchasing a home can be very nerve-wracking and stressful. However, when we started with Amar, he provided us with a wealth of information about the location/area, which had tremendous potential and a strong 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 and concerns, even the dumb ones :). 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 client’s 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 throughout the whole process until you get your keys is mind-boggling. Realtors® don’t do that, but Amar DOES !! If one understands what trust and faith mean, 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 (around $54k less) from the builder. Then came the lender; even with some minor hiccups (a new lender), he managed to work out a solution that benefited the client. 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 the 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 !! Relationship for life..

Buying a home can be a long, painful process, or 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 us houses that suited our requirements. Amar gathered complete information on each house he showed and provided his honest input on whether to go with or not. He never forced us to give a quick offer and always asked us to think twice and thrice before presenting one.
Once we found the house that we like, Amar used his keen negotiation skills and got us the home at a lower price than many competing offers. Throughout the closing process, he has been on his heels, in constant contact with the seller’s agent and the loan agent, and has pushed both to get to closing quickly and smoothly.
Amar also has 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.

Rajavelu Balaji | Leader in Network Quality Assurance | Equinix 
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 was hiring a well-seasoned, experienced professional who is committed to his clients.
Amar first presented a roadmap for the entire process and guided me through each stage very patiently. He was always 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 a project, and he finished tasks by the time agreed with the seller, which gave great confidence in 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 the seller or the seller’s agent disagreed, I thought I might not get this house, but he never paused for a moment. He just worked around 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 the seller and his agent said they would not pay any closing costs, he negotiated and secured nearly 3K in credit from them. When shopping around for a loan, he introduced me to the best loan officers who work directly at big banks, and I got the best interest rate. He always stands by the client’s side even if the situation comes to strain 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.

Using his well-rounded network, he lined up the right mortgage consultant and went out of his way to close the loan with zero closing costs at a competitive rate.
He is persistent in following up and in constantly tracking things until they are done.I would recommend Amar for anyone looking to buy/sell real estate property, as well as for any professional advice regarding real estate.

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 priced below market.
Amar is simply THE BEST. A true commitment for a lifetime is what you get from Amar. He truly is a one-stop Realtor® for buyer, seller, or 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 10-month search.
Amar’s experience in the short-sale process is unmatched, and he 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 a few weeks, and doing this over such a long time speaks volumes about Amar’s commitment to his clients. He is very kind and great with our toddlers during the whole process.
Amar recommended the best in the field to help us, from a mortgage guy to a home inspector to home insurance, and we saved a 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 who buys or sells property in the Bay Area and does not use Amar will surely have a less-than-optimal experience.

We would highly recommend Amar as a real estate consultant to anyone desiring to buy or sell a home in the Bay Area, and to anyone interested in learning more about their Real Estate options – investment, short sales, 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 regional 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 situation.
As first-time home buyers, we were learning as we went, 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, a lot of things were new.
Amar was very prompt in responding and kept me posted regularly on the short sale’s progress and the escrow closing. 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 works 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 was also in regular touch with the bank agent to make sure that the loan process was going smoothly and made sure that I got a good deal on the loan.
Overall, I am satisfied with the buying experience with Amar as an agent, and I strongly recommend 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 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 the home-buying process with Amar to understand what I mean.

Amar is one of the most patient and customer-oriented Realtor®s we have come across, with his association we ended up buying an excellent property at the best deal. I recommend Amar to anyone for their realestate needs.
Our Experience – Amar was knowledgeable about both the real estate industry and the neighborhoods of interest to us. We visited several homes every weekend for months, but given our specific needs and tight budget, it wasn’t easy to find the right property. There were a few homes matching our needs, but he pointed out hidden problems that we were unaware of – 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 demonstrate an inclination to prioritize your clients’ needs. We are proud to have you part of the team and cannot thank you 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.

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 the most sought-after neighborhood in Menlo Park, showing the best schools in California, and providing detailed information about the neighborhood, like safety, what the neighborhood means for the kids.
Amar connected me to a 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 get the $50K less on the list price under a multiple offer situation, but he negotiated to pay a few thousand dollars by the seller, and he saved thousands of dollars at 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 an enthusiastic, energetic, and powerful person, with exceptional negotiating expertise, excellent knowledge about real estate, and he has a 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 your favorite wholesaler. Amar is one stop shop for Home-Buying and owning and I will recommend him for anyone. Thank you so much Amar

Buying an investment property with a partner is not an easy decision. It requires sound thinking on the location, price and prospect of the property. Amar helped me to make this decision, supported me from the beginning. Made good deal with the builder using his strategy, knowledge amd 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. 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.
