I hired Nahid Garmani - Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker on Almaden/Blossom Hill in San Jose,…read moreCA. I hired her to sell my property back in October 2018. I invested a considerable amount of money well beyond Nahids initial estimate to get my property sold - At Nahids constant pressing me to pay more and more $$. Nahid also pressed me to get everything out of my home all furniture and belongings to get it "sold quickly" which in turn has displaced me for the past 2 months with nowhere to live. I wait for you to do your job as you assured me to sell my home. I am now displaced with no where to live since you promised that I would get the house sold quicker if I am not there. Here we are now December 28th - 2 MONTHS and you have not only failed to sell my property with little assistance as my realtor but I get this odd text message from you this morning. Dec 28..... ----- Nahid 1.Please clarify what you are doing? 2.Are you no longer the listing agent for my property? 3.Why do I need to get my key? Please respond to this email in writing ASAP before 5pm today. ---- To Ron Conklin: I would like to escalate this matter asap. If you are not the intended person overseeing this issue please escalate to appropriate person at Coldwell Banker. --- Yelp readers you will notice this email was sent December 28th However it is December 31, 2018 at 5pm my house continues to sit on the market with no resolution or assistance.

When I…read morediscovered she was now a Realtor in Los Altos I was very excited to work with her because if she was as great of a Realtor as she was as a teacher, I knew I'd be in exceptional hands as well as extremely pleased with the results! SPOILER ALERT: she was fantastic. Buying a home can be a very stressful and challenging experience. However, Kathy put me at ease throughout the entire process. I was astounded by her deep knowledge of the area, and the real estate world in general. Not only is Kathy and her team wonderful to work with, they have a ton of solid recommendations for inspectors, contractors, mortgage brokers etc. I really can't say enough good things about Kathy. If you are looking for an authentic, hard working and expert Realtor, Kathy should be your first choice!

She knows the market, has the right network, never pushes, has good connections for home renovations and loan officers, and overall just made the process very easy.

Nisha also helped us oversee remodeling that was going on in the new house , putting us in touch with relied and trusted contractors. Basically, she was our project manager .. managing the difficult task of buying and selling (our old house) We have now been in our house for six months and even now if I reach out to Nisha, she is more than willing to help us.

We absolutely loved working with Nisha who helped us buy our first home. Nisha is a very calm and…read moreempathetic person who guided us along the way which made this process very simple. She always provided her unbiased assessment with an eye towards resale which we really valued being first time home buyers. She was quite prompt in setting up appointments for us especially during the pandemic when open houses were limited. Being a part of the top agent network, she was able to show us houses even before they were listed. Nisha reviewed the disclosures thoroughly and clearly pointed out potential red flags and desirable features in a house. She also guided us with comps and helped us with her valuable experience to come up with an optimal price when we decided to put offers. Even after we purchased and moved into our new home, Nisha checked in to see how we are doing. Upon hearing we are having some minor issues, she promptly sent someone to fix it on the same day. Nisha always goes above and beyond and is very professional. We really enjoyed working with Nisha and would definitely like to work with her again when we decide to sell our current house or buy a new one.

My husband and I bought our first home in Sunnyvale earlier this month. We worked with Wendy…read morethrough the entire search/buying process. The experience of working with Wendy was absolutely wonderful! The first day we met her, she first spoke to us in detail to understand our goals - what we are looking for in our new home. Based on that, every home we visited, she explained, in detail, how certain things are aligned/not aligned with our goals. For every home we were interested in, she quickly ran the comparisons to give us an idea of what would be a good bidding price for that home. She also explained the key things we should be looking for in disclosures. This was super helpful for first time home buyers like us. For every offer we made she made sure we were going in with a competitive price. The best part about working with her was the fact that she was always available for viewing/discussion and would always come back with the right information needed for us to make an offer. Her dedication towards her job really impressed both my husband and me. She never forced us to close a deal early. In fact, she encouraged us to view as many homes as possible so that we look at enough neighborhoods and houses to know exactly what we want in our first home/ what kind of neighborhood works best for us. She took us to different homes within the same/nearby neighborhoods to explain how factors like location, school district, house conditions etc. affects price and demand. For every home, she also did the math on potential growth. The house we eventually ended up buying had already accepted an offer the day I messaged Wendy about the house. However, she followed up with the seller's agent the next day and that's when she got to know that they had rejected the contract and the house was back on the market. She sent the comps right away, suggested we quickly view the house and send an offer out to beat the competition. This allowed us to secure a competitive price and we are very grateful for that. She also provided contacts for loan and insurance agents and all of them were great to work with. We are extremely pleased to have bought our first home with Wendy and can't recommend her enough!

My husband and I are first time home buyers who purchased our SFH in West San Jose earlier this…read moremonth. We had an incredibly positive experience working with Wendy and feel so very lucky to have had her knowledge and expertise! She turned what would have been an intimidating home buying experience into an experience where we felt prepared and knew what to expect for things to go smoothly. Wendy's detailed guidance was key for us to become quickly prepared to make competitive offers before the spring market picked up. Astonishingly, we were so fortunate to have our first offer accepted and went from our first meeting with Wendy to start our house hunt, to being in contract in under a month! We are particularly appreciative of how Wendy prepared us for the home buying process as first time home buyers. To help calibrate us on what the current market is like, she showed/toured a variety of different SFH within the same area to understand how factors like location, school district, inspection condition etc affects demand and comp. Her advice and data-driven approach greatly helped calibrate our expectations to understand what a winning offer would realistically look like for our desired criteria. Wendy even had us practice the process of reviewing disclosures and did a mock offer round with a house that we had toured, which was incredibly helpful to simulate the experience of making an offer. Wendy's mortgage loan officer contacts were also great, and we ended up going with one of the lenders she recommended. I also wanted to make a special positive note about Wendy's dedication and her commitment to being available. Our house went on the market while Wendy was out of the country on vacation, but nevertheless the whole process was seamless. Wendy has a great team covering for her so there was no delay in touring the house immediately. As soon as she returned, Wendy met with us to craft our offer. She was incredibly patient and dedicated, and spent multiple hours over the two days preceding the offer day going through various possible scenarios and what our plan was in each. Her knowledge and insight into house seller psychology was so helpful in crafting our successful offer. Throughout the whole escrow process Wendy and her team kept in touch and closing went smoothly. We feel incredibly lucky to have bought our dream home with Wendy and can't recommend her enough!

Katy, from The Dave Keefe Real Estate Team, is by far the best Real estate agent we have ever…read moreworked with, and we would not have gotten the house without her. Throughout this process I also got to meet Dave and others on the team, and I have not met a more supportive, kind helpful and knowledgeable team who made the experience easy and successful. Dave is the sort of person who puts you at ease as soon as you meet, but is the perfect person to have in your corner when it comes to negotiations, or true understanding and vast knowledge of the real estate market in Mountain view and the surrounding area. (He also has a very cute dog) Katy started by learning what's important to us and what we are looking for, and really listened. Her knowledge of the area, the industry, available properties and real-estate in general blew us away, and as we were looking at places she called out areas of concern, benefits, both immediate and long term (family and future value) but kept asking questions to make sure that the next house we see is an even better fit and always shared her reasoning. she also gave us estimates on where she believes the houses we looked at will close, and was eerily accurate. Once we found the house of our dreams in San Bruno, Katy put together a plan on how to increase the chances that we will get the house while staying within our means, and I can honestly say that there is almost no chance that we would have gotten the house with any other real estate agent. From how much to offer, managing the negotiations, making sure that our letter shows who we are and convinces the sellers to go with our offer even if it's not the highest or all in cache (that's the silicon valley for you...). Finding a house and bidding on one is a stressful experience, but Katy made it enjoyable, educational and we really felt that she is running the show with 100% of our interest in mind, and fought for us (even if it means a slightly lower commission), and helped us through all parts of the process including after we moved in. Not only is she a true professional, she is now also a friend (we even invited her and her family to our wedding), and we will forever be indebted to her. THANK YOU, Katy!!!

We are so grateful to Dave Keefe and the entire team at Action Properties for prepping, renting,…read moremanaging, and eventually selling our home in Woodside. They had a clear and compelling vision of what upgrades that house needed for renting and then selling. In both cases, they were spot on and the house rented and later sold immediately. They completed the work of prepping our home at a fraction of the cost to competing bids and their vision clearly matched the market. We had no idea it could look so nice nor that it could win so much attention from potential buyers. As property managers, they took responsible care of the home and the tenant relationship. We never worried about the home and appreciated their systems of documentation and transparency around repairs or other authorized maintenance while occupied. As our selling agent, Dave continued to surprise us with the depth, thoroughness, and thoughtfulness of his home sales process. From reviewing the multiple offers that came in to the final signing, the transaction proceeded without a single hitch. My family has been in the real estate business for over 40 years and none of us have been so impressed by a sales team as this one. If you have the chance to work with them, by all means do.

But now I am more than happy to write down review by myself after selling the condo in a week. When we first met Mei was make sure we understood the market, which was not good for seller. Also she suggested asking price based on the fact instead of using as a bait for the new clients. After passing the key she was taking care of the condo like hers. She has an excellent taste, great work ethic. Mei is very reliable and experienced professional. Her team to work for her was amazing as well including repair, construction, cleaning and staging people. When I stopped by after staging I was so shocked since the condo looked like celebrities' multimillion house. She chose color of the paint and granite countertop. She just took care of everything! For advertise she used all the medias I could think of. I was so impressed by how she described the best things about the condo and presented beautifully. After receiving offers her negotiating talent really showed. She texted me the updated offer way better than I expected. She was always available day and night if I needed to discuss with her. I have worked with quite a few agents so far and I can say Mei is the best without any hesitation. Thank you Mei
