We worked with Shilpa for our home search and buying process. She guided us at every step, like a family member and we were able to find the perfect home for us. We would work with her again every time we need to buy a home. She is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and one of the kindest professionals in real estate. read more

Shilpa was recommended to me by a friend when I recently moved to the Bay Area. I have been hunting for my first home even before I moved here and it only got more challenging in the bay. But thanks to Shilpa I was able to find a home I like within a month after first contacting her. She took me to a couple of open houses to get an idea of what I was looking for. Once she figured that out she created a custom query in MLS that fits my needs and I was presented with a new list everyday. My work was reduced to reviewing the list and showing up for the appointments. She also did a great job coming with an appraisal which we used to make an offer. Our offer won the bid immediately in the first round and we did not have any appraisal gap when the bank finally appraised. Through out the process Shilpa was very patient with me and guided me on the nature of Bay Area real estate market. Even after closing she has reached out and guided me on things I need to be aware of as a first time buyer. Overall I am really happy with Shilpa's expert guidance and would recommend her to folks looking for property in the area. read more

We got to know about the Hanna Group and Shilpa via a friend and needless to say, we cannot be more satisfied. Shilpa made the entire process easy to understand, one step at a time. Despite the countless phone calls and text messages, she was extremely patient with the new home buyers like us. She helped us understand the entire process throughout this journey and always went that extra mile for us while putting offers as well as during the closing process. Her attention to detail, knowledge of the market and connections to get the best for the client is impeccable. Shilpa made us feel very comfortable and was always available when needed and we couldn't have done this without all the help from her. We definitely look forward to working with her again in the future. read more

Shilpa Muthye - Hanna Group - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Jose, California

See all

Zaid Hanna and his team are the absolute best! We got associated with Zaid & Shilpa through Redfin for a property we were exploring. They quickly set up a Hangout call, they gave us the current Real estate scoop, the true financial impact/benefits, areas to focus, our priorities, how home buying works, connected to our banker .. Well, we were schooled in a good way. Shilpa Muthye was our Realtor, she is the best. We would shortlist a house, and she would give us insights at zip code level, then location, and if we are good then schedule the appointment. We saw 4 houses from our shortlist & Shilpa showed us the one we would like, which was not even on our list, and I am writing this review in that very house admiring the backyard. THIS IS IMPORTANT - Before we made an offer, Shilpa spent close to 90 minutes educating and going through the disclosures. Then followed up with another 60 mins with our 101 questions. She was more paranoid than us with continuously following up with banker, sellers broker and us. Very detailed oriented, meticulous & paranoid :) ... Highly recommend Shilpa & Zaid Hanna Group! Sincerely, Chetan & Deeksha read more

Shilpa Muthye - Hanna Group - Our Champ! - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Jose, California

Shilpa worked with us personally to help us find our first home in Bay Area, CA. The home we closed on had 22 other offers and we were able to get it only because Shilpa strategized and helped us put an offer that was too good for the seller to refuse (*we paid fair market value for this house and it was the only offer we made*) Shilpa has built great relationships within the real estate industry in the Bay Area and helps her clients get the best. She is welcoming, knowledgeable and a thorough professional. During our first meeting, she walked us through the general market in the Bay Area, costs involved in renting vs buying. Shilpa had a detailed chat with us to understand our lifestyle, budget etc. & set up the search for us as per our exact requirements. She encouraged us to visit open houses and would also come with us personally for most showings to get a feel for what we like/don't like. She connected us with great lenders who made the approval process easy for us. Shilpa was always available for a chat/call - for any question we had in the process. In a nutshell, Shilpa did all the hardwork for us and let us enjoy the process of buying a home. We were taken care of very well in the whole process in every aspect. read more

My wife and I got Shilpa's contact through a common friend. We reached out to Shilpa at a time when we already had a different agent and we were in the process of making an offer on some house. We are thankful that we took our friend's advice and spoke with Shilpa to get her inputs because that day was a game changer for us. We learnt more about the home buying process from Shilpa in an hour than we did from our previous agent in six weeks! After we switched agents and restarted our home search with Shilpa, right from Day 1, she spent painstaking hours with us to go through every detail, every step of the way. She empowered us with a lot of useful information so we could make informed decisions along the way. She was extremely professional, proactive and always provided inputs with our best interests at heart. Throughout the buying process, Shilpa was a friend, philosopher and guide to us. We literally felt like we were getting inputs from a trusted advisor within the family. We were able to get a good house at a good price thanks to Shilpa and I am sure we will work with her again in the future for our home buying/selling needs. I, wholeheartedly and without reservation, recommend Shilpa (and the Hanna Group) in your home buying process. Thank you, Shilpa and Team Hanna! read more

We were referred to Shilpa (Hanna Group) through another agent as we were moving from another state. Working with Shilpa was absolute pleasure. She was patient and went to several properties with us. She was also generous with her time as we used to travel from out of state. She added tremendous value in making offers and finally we were able to get the home of our choice. She was very communicative and involved in the process and even after closing she continues to help us as and when we have questions. Everything went smoothly because of her involvement. Truly a gem of a person! Thank you for all the help and guidance! read more

Shilpa and Zaid from the Hanna Group have been amazing to work with in finding our home. Shilpa has a great positive outlook and made the entire process super seamless for us. She graciously guided us through the entire process, helping us make informed decisions and educate us through the process. She went above and beyond in arranging for showings for us, accommodating our numerous special requests and proactively engaged with our lender and the selling agent to give us a great overall experience! Shilpa's market research was spot-on and she and Zaid ensured we got a good deal! Our sincere thanks to Shilpa and Zaid and we highly recommend them! read more

Shilpa helped us get our first home in the Bay Area recently. Shilpa is a great listener and understood what we were looking for in a home. We were able to connect with her from day1 and always found her opinions to be unbiased. Shilpa is also very pro-active and detailed oriented, which led us to be confident about our purchase. She was with us on every step of the way. A big thank you from Sharayu and me to Shilpa. read more

Shilpa and the Hanna group are amazing! My husband and I were matched with Shilpa and the Hanna group through Redfin. Shilpa is super responsive and immediately set up a call as soon as we were referred by Redfin . She also set up a hangout with Zaid who then gave us a very in-depth data-driven analysis of the current real estate market. Shilpa gave us really good advice throughout our house buying process. It was immediately obvious Shilpa not only wanted us to find the perfect house for us, but also make sure the house was the right long term investment. On one occasion Shilpa steered us clear from an overpriced listing by patiently walking us through comparables and other data. Shilpa is friendly, patient, professional, knowledgeable, and super helpful. Shilpa made an otherwise stressful housebuying process pretty easy for us. Also special shout out to Nedda, who worked behind the scenes in making sure our escrow process was handled smoothly. read more

We worked with Shilpa and her team to find our dream home and it was a great experience. We will highly recommend them. We were first time home buyers with very little knowledge about the competitive bay area market as well as home buying process. Shilpa and Zaid gave a very professional presentation on day 1 which gave us the right direction. After this, she was very diligent in showing us properties, recommending the correct ones for our needs, even assisting us in home loan process by connecting us with really helpful lenders. Overall she made this process very smooth and was always just a phone call away whenever we needed her. We put our very first offer on the home we loved and because of Shilpa's expertise we were able to secure that even though the sellers had an offer above us. After that her team helped us with closing comfortably in time. Overall, we are very happy we worked with Shilpa, Zaid and their team and would definitely recommend. read more

We were just entering the Bay area home buying market when the market was the craziest and were looking for good realtors. We had heard stories from friends of realtors who were too pushy and would push you too hard towards buying a particular house. We definitely didn't want that. We saw a few yelp reviews of Shilpa Muthye and the Hanna group and they specifically mentioned Shilpa being caring and not pushy. So we contacted her and really liked having her as our realtor. She provided us with comparables for every house we were considering, read us the disclosures so that we understood them and was always in constant communication. Even if a particular house satisfied all our requirements, we felt comfortable telling her that we didn't like how the house felt and didn't want to make an offer. In fact, once we came across a home that was way beyond our budget and requirements, but we loved it so much, we asked Shilp if she minded us making an offer knowing it was mostly going to get rejected. She said, "absolutely no issue, if you guys like the house, let's give it our best shot and let's see what happens". While we didn't get that house, the lessons we learnt along the way helped us finally secure our home which wouldn't have happened without Shilpa. We also realized that being successful in the real estate market requires good connections. Shilpa has vast experience and good connections with other realtors and also mortgage lenders. She managed all these connections during the offer period to present our offer as best as possible to the sellers. We highly recommend having Shilpa Muthye and the Hanna group as your realtors. read more

We were lucky to have worked with Shilpa and her team. As first time home buyers, we could not have asked for a better realtor than Shilpa. She is very responsive and pays attention to details. She walked us through the entire process and was always available whenever needed. She also introduced us to a couple of lenders which gave a great kick-start. She takes efforts to visit every property and give her expert insights. I must say, for all the properties we looked at, her judgement in terms of the correct bid value was always spot on. USP- She walks you through all the disclosure documents in detail which is otherwise overwhelming being a first time home buyer. I highly recommend her if you are a first time home buyer and once you work with her you wont look elsewhere in future. read more

We bought a home recently with the help of Shilpa. She understood our criteria clearly and showed us the right homes as soon as they arrived in the market, and some even before they came into the market. She was readily available and could promptly take appointments from sellers when we wanted to check homes during weekdays and after hours. She always elaborated pros and cons of different homes based on the inspection reports and history of the house. Once we liked some homes, she could give us an approximate sale price to win a bid. She was prompt and meticulous with all the paperwork needed for the entire buying process and avoided any delay at any step. We never felt like we were working with a business person but felt like a family member and well wisher. We strongly recommend her to any buyer. read more

We were looking for a home passively for a while, until we decided to be more active. We found Zaid on Yelp and he jumped on a call with us the same evening. Our realtor was Shilpa and she helped guide us through the entire process. Its hard to believe that we were in contract within a few weeks of starting to work with Shilpa. We not only found the home we needed for our family, we also built a lasting relationship with Shilpa and Zaid. Finding the right home in bay area has always been a daunting task, but Shilpa kept us calm throughout the process. You can't go wrong with Shilpa and Zaid. We highly recommend them. read more

We found Zaid's real estate 38 through yelp. The reviews looked promising and they were absolutely accurate! From the minute we got in touch with Zaid, everything was so smooth and organized. It began with a background call where zaid listened to all our preferences and guided us. We were first time home buyers and had so many questions, all of which were answered patiently. We then met shilpa who was our agent who exceeded expectations. She was very organized, honest and quick in her responses. She came to several open houses with us and answered any questions we had. When we found our dream home, shilpa and the team moved so quickly! She helped us close on the house at a price lower than asking, which is amazing in the Bay Area! We are so grateful to the team for guiding us and helping us find our first home! read more

Shilpa has been a tremendous help for us while buying a home. She is methodical, understandable, supportive, trustworthy, hardworking, and extremely responsive. She is more a family than a real estate broker, where she took care of our needs as her own. Shilpa helped us distill our thoughts and find clarity. She spent time and was very diligent in showing us properties, recommending the correct ones for our needs, even assisting us in the home loan process by connecting us with really helpful lenders.

She helped us connect with lenders and made the escrow process a breeze. She was always super responsive and made sure all our queries were answered. Shilpa is knowledgeable, friendly and super helpful. We definitely recommend Shilpa as an excellent ally in the stressful home buying process in the Bay Area. read more

Working with Shilpa is such a positively soothing experience. For first time venturers like us, she was the guiding light through the journey. We found her skilled to answer our questions with ease and deep insight. We probably asked her more than a hundred questions through the process and Shilpa answered all of them in a timely manner with nurture and care. Upon introduction, she initially walked us through the process of reviewing disclosures and the paperwork involved while making offers & eventual purchase. Once making us comfortable with this, we toured a few properties together and this is where we fell in love with Shilpa's wisdom in real estate matters. She diligently brought our attention to highlights/concerns of the toured properties that unexperienced buyers like us will probably overlook. Shilpa has this teaching demeanor that basically radiates with calm, patience and deep acumen. At no point, we felt pushed to make offers on properties we were a bit uneasy about. Her perceptivity of the market dynamics is worthy of praise. Shilpa is all about making lasting relationships and she continues to guide you with post-purchase knowledge bytes. Shilpa and her team are throughly professional and earnestly followup on time sensitive matters with lenders and all the parties involved. read more

Shilpa and team have been a tremendous help for us while buying our first home. We had a ton of questions and wanted to explore a large potential area. Shilpa provided ample time to resolve our questions, explained the process, provided views on the houses we liked and suggested safe and family oriented neighborhoods. Shilpa has been in the bay area for a while and has seen a couple of recessions. It helps to have that kind of experience while thinking about opportunities and market conditions 5-10 years out. She was on time for our appointments, never hesitated in taking time to visit places. We had to cancel some appointments last minutes due to family issues and she understood and handled the situation very gracefully. Shilpa suggested not going ahead with some houses that we liked as they may not have been ideal for us which was reassuring that she's focusing on our interests. She handled offer process and some hiccups in the closing seamlessly. Nedda and Zaid are very friendly and accountable. We never had to wait for any of the documentation or email followup. It felt good to have a strong and experienced team at our back. We'd highly recommend Shilpa and the Hanna group! read more

Shilpa Muthye - Hanna Group - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Jose, California

Shilpa recently helped us to purchase our first home in Sunnyvale, CA. In February, we started thinking of buying a house but were bit skeptical of jumping into an insanely difficult and ever increasing housing market. That is when we decided to go with a buyer agent and we contacted Shilpa based on positive reviews from a dear friend. While the process of home buying was much more difficult than we'd imagined, based on the levels of competitiveness, Shilpa gave us excellent guidance about the entire home buying process in great detail and deep knowledge about a really wide range of homes. Yes, I do say wide range as when we had started, me and my wife, both were so mixed with our decisions of whether to buy a house/town house/condo based on our finances, which area to be considered and then what other things needs to be taken into account while deciding our home. But Shilpa did help us through all of this by explaining the market trends. She has a very solid understanding of Bay Area market. Not only this but Shilpa may be the most patient person that we have come across; she's completely open to hearing what you have to say and continues to listen whole heartedly, whereas the very next day you're saying something completely different. This ain't her first time but she always seem to understand the flip flopping first time buyers go through. She used to be always available for our questions and sync ups when we were feeling confused. Still remember when we were about to put our first bid, Shilpa explained us each disclosure in great detail. During this process we understood few more of her qualities like honesty and professionalism. She always used to explain us pros and cons of the house and based on that she let us make a decision. She never pushed us towards any particular house. She always tries to maintain an excellent rapport with the selling agents, lenders and this was the main reason we were able to get our new home. When we visited Open House for our home, we thought it might go out of our budget because of excellent location and good school district. But we still expressed our interest to Shilpa that we really liked the house and she immediately jumped and gave her 100% to get this house for us. Because of her excellent rapport with the selling agent, we were able to close the deal and at excellent price (A big shout out to Shilpa's amazing negotiation skills). Its been around 2 months we bought the property and we still get call/text from to check how things are and if we have any questions. I hope we're in our new home for a long time, but if we were to move, I wouldn't hesitate to work with Shilpa again as she is absolutely fantastic and professional to work with. read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Shilpa when we were planning to buy a house amidst the pandemic. Shilpa was extremely patient with us when we were still figuring out which area would suit our needs - we had practically given her more a dozen neighborhoods initially! Not only did she help us pick a great location, she got us an amazing deal on our house. Shilpa went above and beyond to ensure our offer would get picked, even though it was not the highest. She even introduced us to an amazing loan officer (ask for Michael from Wells Fargo) who made the entire process extremely smooth and easy. Shilpa is more than an agent, she is your friend and well-wisher who genuinely loves to help people! read more

Zaid and Shilpa helped us find our dream home. Like several others here, we are first time home buyers. We had heard stories about buyers in the bay area having to go through a lot of frustration, be in the market for several months and bid on 15+ homes. Zaid and Shilpa helped us get our home in our 3rd bid within 6 weeks of actively looking. Shilpa is a very friendly and pleasant person and worked closely with us to understand our needs. She was always there to answer our questions; very prompt at communicating via Whatsapp and at times over phone even at late hours. She treated us like family, so much so that the people at the open house would think Shilpa is my wife's mother, and not our agent. :) We are packing our bags to move into our dream home very soon, and cannot thank Shilpa and Zaid enough for helping us get through this process smoothly. read more

We recommend Shilpa and her team for anyone looking for a home.` Shilpa is extremely knowledgeable, methodical and helpful. She was recommended to us by a relative, and they had the best experience with Shilpa and team. In the beginning of our home buying process, we were quite confused and intimidated by it. Shilpa helped us distill our thoughts and find clarity. She went with us to various homes in different locations so we could land on a neighborhood we liked, helped us read inspection reports/other documents to uncover any red flags etc. but by that point in the process, the market had started to go up quite significantly. By the time we were ready to put an offer on the first house, the market was up by more then 15%! The initial estimates of what would be a winning offer didn't obviously make sense anymore. This is where Shilpa's expertise is above par. She knows the Bay Area market so well that she can read trends and help you zero in on the right number. On the first home we put an offer on, we were hesitant to stretch our budget and didn't end up getting it. This happened to the next house we liked too but we realized that both houses went for close to what Shilpa had predicted. On the third (and final) house we put an offer on, after much deliberation and looking at comparables with Shilpa (there weren't that many), we decided on a number. The next morning, which was when the offer was due, Shilpa called us and recommended that we reduce the offer, which was entirely based on her instinct. The other excellent thing about Shilpa is that she has very good contacts/connections with sellers' agents. Turns out that there was one other offer on the house, which was higher than ours, but she was able to negotiate with the seller's agent to go with our offer. Shilpa made the whole home buying process in a difficult market manageable and achievable. We've since moved into our new home and love it! Big thanks to Shilpa and the Hanna Group to helping us find a wonderful home we love spending time in! read more

Shilpa, helped my wife and I purchase our first home. As first time homebuyers, we were learning as we went through the process and had tons of questions. Shilpa, was very patient with us and explained the entire process in great detail. We were on a short timeline and went to open houses every weekend. She was there with us at every step of the way, driving from Fremont, to San Jose, to Morgan Hill all in one day at times. I had heard some crazy stories about closing day and what to expect, but things went very smoothly and we were able to close a day ahead without any issues. She ensured that we got an underwriter pre-approval from the lender prior to putting down offers. That helped a lot, since the entire loan process, post getting into contract was very smooth. In addition, as is in the Bay area, you either overpay for a house or you don't get a house. So, we had to go much over the asking price to get the house and had concerns with the appraisal coming in at purchase price. However, Shilpa ensured that she was there with the appraiser and showed him the comps that justified the purchase price. There were 38 offers put on the house that we got, so she also ensured the appraiser was aware of all those facts. Overall, she made the experience very straight forward for us and ensured that we got a house that met our needs and suited us financially. Thanks a ton Shilpa !!! read more

We worked with Shilpa in buying our first home. Shilpa worked with us like a part of family, always available and reachable whether on phone, text, or to meet in person. She has a solid understanding of the Bay Area housing market and trends. At every stage of the buying process, she discussed all aspects that came to mind, and patiently answered all our questions. Shilpa also helped us with our move, and we continue to stay in touch, and look forward to a lasting friendship. We strongly recommend Shilpa to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bay Area. read more

We bought a town home with Shilpa in the past, and recently we bought a single family home again with Shilpa. Shilpa is very trustworthy and responsive. She is also very strategic when making offers. For example, she will always help her clients get underwriter approval first to strengthen the offer. With her help, we got a very big house at a reasonable price, in a very craze market. I have heard many people getting frustrated when buying homes. But with help from Shilpa, our process went very smoothly. read more

We recently purchased a house through Shilpa (Hanna Group) and we are extremely happy with the whole process. Shilpa was strongly referred by a friend who also bought a house through her and we are thankful for their referral. When we reached out to her, she setup an appointment at her office next day and she (along with Zaid) went over the whole purchase process starting from pre-approval, reading inspection reports, putting an offer and working towards the closing. Shilpa was always available to show a house on a short notice, especially when she thinks a house will sell fast and we have first-mover advantage. She also explained what to look for in a house, how to interpret home inspection reports, what can be easily fixed and not to worry about. Apart from being professional, she is also a warm and friendly person who we used to look forward to meeting. Once she understood what we is important for us, she suggested we tour few houses which we were not even considering, but she thought we will like them. Finally, we ended up buying a house she suggested for less than list price and we couldn't be happier. Shilpa made the entire home buying process a breeze for us and we strongly recommend Shilpa to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bay Area. read more

Shilpa helped me and my wife buy our first house! And truth be told we were lucky to have Shilpa as our agent. Shilpa has very good knowledge about the real estate market. She explained the whole home buying process to us with great patience and answered all of our questions. Then she came up with a strategy as to how we should proceed to buy our first house. We found her to be a very honest person and she would let us know the pros and cons of each house - leaving the final choice to us. She is very sincere and punctual to her commitments - be it with us, seller agent or for the appraisal process. She works very hard to make things happen for her clients - sometimes even late night to make sure that we did not miss out on submitting an offer. Buying a house can be taxing and at times demoralizing due to unpredictable market behaviors but Shilpa was very calm and relaxed and always reassured us that we would find a good house. Shilpa has very good negotiation skills which comes in very handy while negotiating offers. She does a lot of homework about a property and a lot of due diligence to make sure that her clients get the best deal. I have seen Shilpa establish a good rapport with the seller agent which is super useful when it comes to similar competing offers. She is always reachable on phone to answer any questions. Shilpa is very friendly and a very positive person and we had a great experience buying our first home with Shilpa as our agent. We highly recommend Shilpa for home buyers! We would give a wholehearted 5 stars to Shilpa for her help!! read more
