Amit was my agent when I purchased my home in 2010 and I was very happy with my experience then. So, when I decided to sell the place this year (2019), he was my natural first choice as agent. We started with an initial consultation where he came up with a list of options/scenarios for me, made sure my mind was made up about the sale and then prepared a dossier for me with comparables, recent sales, market value, likely list price etc. This made it easy to understand the dynamics of the market in one reading before making my final decision to sell. Once we decided to go ahead with the sale, Amit was my one stop shop for all things - handyman work, painting the interior, staging, escrow etc. Having been in the business for many years, he had the right people for each of these, making everything effortless. The entire process chugged along like a well-oiled machine. The week of listing, he arranged a broker open house as well as a regular open house soon after, to market the house to maximum number of qualified and interested buyers. His decision to do an upfront property report helped make sure the buyers knew what they were getting into and write a confident offer. After we listed the home, we had a satisfactory offer above listing price pretty much within 2 days of the first open house. The entire transaction was very smooth and I absolutely felt I was in the right hands with Amit. Amit's real time systems like Open House Visitor Real Time Feedback, and Interested Buyer Alerts kept me always on top of all marketing efforts. Overall, Amit and Renuka were completely on top of all things related to the sale and extremely communicative. Always a Whatsapp message or phone call away to answer the most trivial of questions/concerns. This gives a lot of peace of mind and made the entire experience very smooth and stress free. Amit has been extremely transparent and professional throughout providing the right guidance at the right time. Highly recommended!! Will gladly do business with him again!!

Sharing my experience with Amit Inamdar and Renuka Inamdar These guys are fraud and would give all false information and misguidance , even they will offer you rebate which you will end up loosing Though i went as a buyer, all through (so called) "power hour with Amit Inamdar" (as they advt on radio), they tried to power me up to go for million dollar property that i clearly said no.I went to Amit Inamdar since radio advertise said he is certified negotiator , and I dont even got a dime negotiated , neither rebate. They again and again try to sell mortgage product which i was not interested in From the very first minute, I could not get answers to basic house buying questions and every time i have been asked to refer to recorded presentation of theirs. This childish play continued in later calls as well ,there was no effort made for clarifying client questions. Treating client respectfully is way too much expectation from this business I already had property selected and was looking for expert help on contract and negotiations with the seller.This duo did not do any market research and did not help me to save single penny. On top of it i lost any negotiation chance that i had due to their commission Renuka told me not to get any clarification for my genuine property related specific questions to seller since as per her it would upset the seller, lol, what a broker!!! After first ever only property visit Renuka did not returned my call, messages, email since she got herself registered for the commission. Renuka did not show up for final deal with seller which was decided week in advance.Her husband Amit called at the appointment time and asked to change the date Amit offered commission rebate in very first discussion which he denied at the closing and asked to sign a contract to stop my ability to review his business anywhere and on internet You may refer his email message here. To give agreed upon commission , he wants me to sign contract to not to review his business in public Amit Inamdar wrote "I do not want to have you bad month us, like you did and asked for 60% commission back. Settlement agreement covers what everyone wants. We need written agreement, to give agreed upon commission back. We need agreement in writing to avoid further issues." After my initial honest review on Yelp, he asked me take it down and accepted mishandling from his side Later he end up denying agreed rebate and insisted for above contract to be signed , no wonder why there are all negative reviews for him read more

As a first time home buyer from another country, Amit & Renuka's guidance was extremely helpful and reassuring for us. They're extremely friendly, sociable, knowledgeable and helpful. A friend of my husband listened to Amit & Renuka's radio show and recommended them to us. At first, we weren't convinced about contacting a realtor, but after we met Amit and Renuka, we realized how much they bring to the table, how patiently they answered all our questions (even the ones we thought were silly!) We felt they were a good match for us and it was proved right away as our 1st offer was accepted. Their first time home buyer webinar was an eye-opener for us. The initial consultation with Amit was absolutely fantastic -- it helped us determine our financial reach, what we could afford. He helped us understand the Bay Area real estate market, what part of the Bay Area will continue to appreciate. His insights were invaluable in making us understand and navigate the neighborhoods. November 2015 was a very hot market and we knew we had to move pretty quickly since there were multiple offers for every home that went on the market. Amit & Renuka negotiated everything -- the price, terms, and contingencies. Since we were new and just starting our lives in the valley, we were extremely grateful for the help they provided. Renuka accompanied us for home showings and had a lot of knowledge about the neighborhoods. They also assisted and guided us on all requirements, paperwork, timeline as well as the tiny but significant details that we would have never known about if we hadn't reached out to them. They are extremely professional and they went well over and above what they were required to do. Renuka even stepped out on Christmas day to deliver the key to us -- we were extremely touched by her gesture! For these reasons, I give Amit and Renuka a 5-star rating. And I will highly recommend Amit & Renuka to everyone. read more

Renuka has always been accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. I would always prefer to deal with a family-owned business like this one as opposed to some mega corp. At all times, I've found Renuka to be trustworthy, fair, and responsive. read more

I found Amit to be very professional and knowledgeable in home purchasing, selling and financing. I found him to have very deep understanding of real estate market in cities around San Jose, California. We purchased our second home through Own Sweet Home, realty company that Amit owns. We had very specific requirements such as geographical area, school district, size of the home and access to nearby public places. Amit narrowed down many homes that met our requirements and walked us through open homes with promptness and patience. We purchased home, in a beautiful neighborhood, that all family members continue to enjoy today. For that, I sincerely thank Amit. Amit's advice in re-financing my first home and financing my current home helped me owning two homes. Thank you Amit for your friendly and professional help. I still vividly remember how you created purchase offer, got the home thoroughly inspected and made sure escrow closed in time for my family to move in. Thanks again. Since then, its a privilege to consider you as our family friends. Sandeep Aranake read more

2017 was very hot market, it was a seller's market but Amit negotiated pretty much everything for us in price, terms and contingencies. We closed in 21 days instead of 30.  So of course, we will and have recommended Amit to our friends, who also bought homes through him. We knew Amit & Renuka for a while & when decided to buy a home, it seemed just right to talk to them.  As suggested by Amit, we watched his First Time Home Buyer Webinar and then went to meet him. I think the meeting went very well because we talked about our eligibility, pre-approval, loan process & neighborhood selection. I had a few questions after watching the webinar & Amit answered those happily.  Actually Amit was available all the time to answer every question we had during the whole process. Our home buying was very much smooth. He tried to get us the home quickly and made sure we get the home we liked faster without unnecessary delays. For loan also Amit provided the best solutions. Amit is very professional, punctual, & friendly. read more

Buying a home is a big decision for anyone, more so for a first time home buyer. You definitely want someone who is thorough and knows his stuff. We are so glad we found Amit through a common friend who recommended him. We bought our home in 2013, in a very hostile market. Competing against many offers was turning into an emotionally exhausting experience, and we appreciated all the help we got from Amit to keep our spirits high. Not only Amit was patient with us through the process, but he also made sure we were ready before the process started too. We went through Amit's Webinar for First Time Home Buyers, which was an elaborative and informative presentation on what to expect. He patiently went through all the steps, never rushed and answered all the questions we had. During the house-hunting process, we had Amit's undivided attention. I am not sure how he did it while juggling with multiple clients. He was very cognizant of our needs and we could blindly trust Amit. It was a very pleasant experience as a First Time Home Buyer. I will definitely give OSH a FIVE STAR Recommendation. read more

We got to know about Amit through his radio program and then as he suggested watched the First Time Home Buyer webinar. The webinar was very informative, and I was really able to get the "home buying" worry off my shoulder. It helped us jumpstart our process. 2017- was a hot market but we got our dream home at a price we were not even expecting. It was a great deal. Amit & Renuka were helpful providing solutions, proactive in giving information & guiding throughout the transaction. All the questions, concerns, process, negotiations with seller, everything was handled professionally and with our interest in mind. Amit & Renuka have high energy and help you complete the entire home buying process. read more

I will give Amit and Renuka a FIVE STAR. If it is a scale of 1-10, of course it will be a 10. When we were thinking of buying a home, a colleague at work highly recommended Amit & Renuka. From the 1st email exchange to 1st meeting with them to closing on our 1st home purchase, everything went well and smoothly. The First Time Home Buyer Webinar was very helpful. It gave us insight into the Market Trend in the Bay area. 2017 was one of the toughest for buyers with very low inventory and 20% above market price but we got the home we wanted! Amit & Renuka, both were very honest with us in their dealings, made the right recommendations and helped us make the right choices. They even went out of their way to monitor the market, showed us around even on weekdays. Both of them were with us every step of the way and we were able to close on time. Amit's experience and knowledge on bay area market, and he being very detail oriented saved us a lot of time. All the details regarding the real estate transaction, escrow, loan and bank transaction are taken care of. The entire process was smooth enough since both of them are very hands-on. Amit and Renuka are very reliable and passionate, really really trustworthy and very efficient. You couldn't ask for more, it was a great experience working with Own Sweet Home! read more

"Buying our first home through Amit and Renuka was a great experience. Being first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions/concerns about the home buying process. Amit's video for first-time home buyers as well as our initial consultation helped outline the important steps getting us a clearer picture of the market and the steps we needed to take, to be successful in the competitive Bay area market. Being real estate as well as mortgage brokers, Amit and Renuka are very knowledgeable about both these aspects of home buying. They were always available to answer all questions whether home related or mortgage related. We wrote few offers with Amit and Renuka and each time they helped us package our offer in a unique way so as to maximize our chances of winning our desired home while working within our comfort zone. One of their strong points is providing you with a cost analysis while guiding you through each offer, which helps you assess the right value for the property, so that you don't feel that you are overpaying for the same property. Amit is also very knowledgeable in the post offer acceptance phase and was very generous to answer all our mortgage and closing related questions. Amit and Renuka have a very strong knowledge about what each area has to offer, which helped us narrow down our area of preference as well as the home we were looking for. We are impressed with Amit and Renuka's professionalism as well as transparency during the home buying process. We highly recommend them as both real estate agents and mortgage brokers and would be working with them again in the future.". read more

We are happy to be in Happily Ever After Club. I knew Amit through his radio show and then one of our friends bought a home through Amit & Renuka. So when we started thinking about buying a home, Amit & Renuka were our natural choice. We had certain ideas about where we wanted to buy. Amit & Renuka both assured us that we will get our dream home & to be patient, perfect opportunity will come. And it happened, we were lucky that our 3rd offer was accepted in hot market. Amit's reputation among his peers in the real estate business helped us in getting our offer accepted in multiple offers situation. We knew exactly what to expect when we stepped into the market, when we wrote our 1st offer and when we went into contract. Amit & Renuka were always on top of things & were there every step of the way. I was looking at houses online before meeting Amit & thought I knew most of the things needed to buy a home in the bay area. However when we met Amit for initial consultation, he explained the down payment, reserves & how the whole financing works. It gave us a better picture on how much our real capacity to buy a home was. First Time Home Buyer Webinar is a must i will say. It simplified the homebuying process for us. Gave us an idea on the current market. For me rent vs buy explanation was a plus. Even before meeting Amit & Renuka personally, we had given our friend's referral to them. We have been referring our friends to Amit & Renuka knowing they will be taken care of just like we were when we bought our home through them. We are happy to be in Happily Ever After Club read more

Amit and Renuka made the home buying process very smooth for us. The most important aspect was that they were very reliable and made sure that we got the best deal. They advised us throughout the whole process and every decision made along the way. They helped negotiate every aspect possible to provide us with the best opportunities. They managed to bring the price down for us almost ten percent in the hot bay area market. Made sure that all contingencies were taken care of and everything that needed to be fixed was fixed. Amit was very thorough even with small details. Amit & Renuka accompanied us to all the houses we wanted to see and advised us on the pitfalls to avoid during the process. Once we were in contract, Renuka sent a detailed email on the different steps for the entire transaction - timeline, loans, processing, etc. Everything was followed to a tee and we even closed ahead of time. Amit's First Time Home Buyer webinar really helped build a foundation of knowledge for us before we started the search for our home. The content is very informative and helped made real estate & loans understanding a lot easier. I heard about Amit through his radio show, which I have listened since 2012. Our friends have bought home through Amit & Renuka as well. They provide a personal approach which we really admire. We consider Own Sweet Home a one-stop shop for any and all of your real estate needs. read more

Would not recommend at all. This is a husband wife team - Amit and Renuka. The husband (amit) is knowledgeable but the wife (Renuka) is very clueless. So if you get her basically you are done for. They are not good at advising on correct price for making an offer. They always advice you to pay more even in a bad market. I guess very commission driven :) Very bad in negotiations. It almost feels always like they are representing the seller. Also don't be fooled by the list of "Previous sales" on their website. It has properties they have helped to buy and not sell. read more

Amit is a very professional, trustworthy realtor and brings value to the table. I heard about Amit and OwnSweetHome through his radio show and a friend also recommended him. The real estate market in 2015 was very hot and there were multiple offers on every property on the market. Buying a home for the first time is a stressful process, however, Amit made it very easy and smooth. He was very prompt in responding to any questions, emails, and phone calls. He provided advice through a personal approach and also aided us with refinancing and the loan process. Amit had sat down with us and explained the pros and cons of each property and the likeliness of the prices they would sell for. He guided us on real estate contract and even analyzed our financial situation. His webinar, First Time Home Buyer, was very informative and helpful for me as I started looking for homes. Five star kudos to OwnSweetHome Realty. read more

Ravindra Sadaphule: Amit is an expert in the Real Estate. He's been working in the RE industry for a very long time, he can certainly work with you based on your budget to suit your exact needs. Amit not only helped us sell our home on time but was instrumental to find and buy another house in the neighborhood that we liked. Personally, I find him very approachable and nice enough to readily answer all the questions. You can imagine the questions we had since we were selling a home & buying another one. Glad that Amit was on our side. It's such a big relief that everything turned out well. Both of our closings were done in a timely manner. With Amit's listing strategy we received multiple offers on our home & sold above asking. His advise on the price, terms contingencies was right on the mark. I highly recommend Amit. He is an expert in the Real Estate. He's been working in the RE industry for a very long time, he can certainly work with you based on your budget to suit your exact needs. read more

Amit was straightforward, no sugar coating and he did not force us to make a decision immediately. Since it was our first home, we were not sure what kind of home we could afford. Amit gave us a realistic expectations on affordability, helped us narrow down the neighborhoods and finally getting us a beautiful home the whole family had liked. He made us realize the challenges in home buying as well as financing and what can go wrong and that helped a lot. 2016 - was a hot market. During the process there was some difficulty in loan. Amit and Renuka were very diligent, patient and provided solution. Amit managed to even get us better rates. They negotiated contingencies for us. Amit also convinced the seller to take care of repairs when we found out that home needed some. Amit's Webinar work wonders. It greatly helped me clarify the doubts on home buying and the financing and making the decision. It was awesome that they were always there whenever we had questions with pretty fast response all the time. Whenever we email or message, they will immediately answer. Amit and Renuka are very helpful and friendly. A well deserved FIVE STAR recommendation for OSH. read more
