"I met Samit by chance and from that moment he has been a guiding hand and became a trusted advisor in our home search. He clearly understood what we were looking for in a home and was patient with all our needs. He goes above and beyond when it comes to landing your home. Many times he was able to arrange home showings on short notice or even when he was out of town. In fact, he even helped put in an offer for us when he was out of the country on vacation and closed the house when we were out of the country. We are happy we chose Samit in our home buying journey."

"There are far too many good things to say about my experience with Samit Shah to fit into this review, He far exceeded my high expectations that came when a neighbor recommended him. His market assessment was spot on. His advice on what things we should remodel before the sale was perfect (as was his management of the remodel) which massively improved the appeal of the house in record time at a very affordable cost. His marketing was absolutely exceptional (video, website, social media, neighborhood canvassing, etc.), which resulted in far more offers on the house than I thought possible. And Samit was extremely responsive, helpful, proactive, and professional throughout the whole process. I cannot think of a single thing he could have done better. I highly recommend Samit and would absolutely use him again!"

"xceptional Experience with Samit Shah – Highly Recommend! I recently purchased a home in Evergreen with Samit Shah as my realtor, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, Samit consistently demonstrated all the qualities you’d hope for in a real estate professional. Here’s what truly set Samit apart: Professionalism: Samit managed every aspect of the transaction with outstanding expertise and meticulous attention to detail. He was always prepared for showings and negotiations, making each step feel seamless and organized. Responsiveness: No matter what questions I had—whether about properties, paperwork, or updates on our offers—Samit was quick to respond and kept me informed throughout the process. His communication was always clear, timely, and reassuring. Respectful Approach: I’ve known Samit for the past two years, and throughout this home-buying journey, what I appreciated most was his respectful, non-pushy approach. He gave us all the information and guidance we needed, but always encouraged us to make our own decisions. There was never any pressure or aggressive sales tactics—just honest, thoughtful advice. Reassuring Guidance: Buying a home can be stressful, especially in today’s market. Samit’s calm and knowledgeable demeanor gave me confidence at every stage. He took time to explain every step and was always patient with my many questions. The Evergreen area turned out to be exactly what I was looking for, and Samit’s deep knowledge of the neighborhood made a real difference in understanding the local market and finding the right fit. I felt supported and well-advised throughout the entire journey. I would absolutely work with Samit again and highly recommend him to friends and family looking to buy or sell their home. Thank you, Samit, for making this such a positive experience!"

From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, always available to answer questions or provide guidance no matter the time or day. Her deep knowledge of the market and thoughtful advice were invaluable in helping us navigate such an important decision. What truly sets Jayashree apart is the care and dedication she brings to her work. She treated us not just as clients, but like family, ensuring that every detail was handled with our best interests in mind. Her warmth and genuine concern made us feel supported every step of the way. Thanks to Jayashree, we are now proud owners of our first dream home, and we couldn’t be more grateful! If you’re looking for someone who is professional, compassionate, and goes above and beyond, Jayashree is the realtor for you."

"Laurie was absolutely incredible in helping us with our home purchasing process. Her knowledge and experience of current market conditions combined with her relationships with other real estate professionals really helped us feel comfortable that we made the correct choices. We really got the sense that she genuinely enjoys her work and in understanding the client to help us go through what can sometimes be a harrowing process. We still rely on her for questions about local contractors for upgrade projects and other things."

"Parina helped us find our home and was highly professional, punctual, and always available to answer our questions. She guided us through the entire offer process, ensuring we understood every step. It was a pleasure working with her, and I highly recommend her."

"Doreen and Laurie did an outstanding job assisting us with the sale of our residence. Their expertise was instrumental in determining a competitive sale price while also considering the number of buyers who would view our home. Both Doreen and Laurie were very involved in all aspects of the sale of the house from the very beginning through closing. They were friendly, responsive, provided regular updates with great follow-up every step of the way, and always gave us great advice. They treated our home with the same care they would as if it was their own and helped with setting up appointments with inspectors, contractors, whomever or whatever we needed. They were present onsite every time anyone was at the property doing work. We could not have made a better choice for a realtor team than Doreen and Laurie"

"We had the pleasure of working with Veeral Shah as our Realtor, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. He helped us tour several homes and guided us in making a competitive offer that was accepted on our very first bid! Veeral was incredibly thorough, especially when it came to reviewing property inspections and discussing potential risks. What stood out to us the most was his responsiveness—he was always available and quick to answer any questions we had. We also appreciated that he had access to several off-market properties, which gave us a significant edge in our home search. Veeral truly went above and beyond at every step, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home"

"Samit and Sarika are the best and we couldn't have gotten our home without their expertise. Their negotiation skills are second to none. Throughout the home buying process their guidance and service was exceptional and few of the highlights are as mentioned below : - Narrowing down the area of search - Proper advise for the pros and cons of the home, location and neighborhood - Being available all the time to answer our questions - Our search was in broader area and in Covid time their willingness to drive come show us homes - Compete transparency throughout the process - Help mitigate any issues with Loan and Title company - Support and guidance even after close of transaction for home projects and warranties Special shoutout to Sarika Singh as she was amazing partner in the process. She was always listening to us and very proactive. Her ability to decipher and find out details is amazing. We highly recommend Samit and Sarika and thanks to them from bottom of our hearts."

"Samit and Jayashree made our entire home buying experience seamless and worry free - right from identifying the right listings, to house tours to making the offer and throughout the close process. Their knowledge of the market, home buying process and professional work ethic came through in each and every interaction and kept the entire process very efficient and seamless from one stage to another. Apart from their professionalism what sets them apart is the level of engagement and empathy in standing by their clients through several important decision making stages, which was very useful for first time home buyers like us. I would recommend their service and expertise to anyone looking for a sound and trusted advisor to navigate the Bay Area housing market."

"She is very nice and professional. Great support and excellent services. The home prices are getting crazy this year. It is not easy to buy a house in bay area. She submitted several offers with quick actions and helped us to buy a decent house."

"Samit , here is a small token of thanks from us in the form of review for all your help in selling our townhouse especially during pandemic ! :) Why we chose Samit - We saw Samit listing houses in our neighborhood and when we tracked those listings, they were all sold on time with good comps and no hiccups. Samit is professional, assertive and confident. Listing a house takes lots of things to come together - timing, luck,strategy etc. While we as sellers were diligent and paid close attention to many things, from an agent perspective - Samit's network, knowledge and reputation helped us not only to get the best offer for a townhouse in our area but also close the deal on time without any issues. We had a few minor technical challenges when the house was in contract but Samit took care of those while shielding us from worries. Overall - Samit turned out to be a great selling agent for us. Best of luck Samit !"

"Getting a new home during Covid times is a challenge in itself and add to that the record high offers and over bidding ! The process seemed daunting but made possible by Veeral. He is very patient as we saw dozens of home all across the bay. He is very well versed with the area and has good contacts to help get additional information about the homes we liked. He guided us well through our offers and when it was time for the home we liked and we really wanted, he went into action and worked with sellers agent to get our offer approved. After we got our home, he had wonderful insights on how we could make some changes to enhance the value of home and also had good contacts for contractors that we could speak to. All in all, we highly recommend him and his team. We will definitely be working with him in future as well."

"Samit is an exceptional real estate agent. Our experience with him as second time home buyers and sellers was the most stress free experience one can imagine in the competitive Bay Area housing market. Samit’s strength is in his keen understanding of the market, the inventory, comparables, and a way to match our needs to the right homes. He is a fantastic negotiator and having him on our side made our negotiation process smooth and stress free. He is detail oriented and ensured our interest was always protected in both transactions. He is an honest professional and does a full service job to help both buy and sell. Working with him provided us peace of mind and the professionals he engaged during the process was truly exceptional. Even the cleaners he got to clean our home for staging were excellent. Samit goes above and beyond the role of an agent and we could always count on him for help even after the transactions closed. He was as prompt with helping us after our engagement closed as he was during our time working with him. We recommend Samit to anyone looking for a sharp and trustworthy agent in the Bay Areas’ competitive housing market."

If you are in need of reliable real estate agent for your home buying, selling or investment need look no further than Samit Team"

"Samit helped me sell my house in July 2021 in Evergreen, San Jose. I heard about his reputation from friends and approached him. He did an amazing job from start to finish. Very meticulous in each and every minute detail from staging to closing and made the process of selling the home a breeze. Selling a home in this market is not a big deal but Samit has it in him to get you the best price possible. I would, hands down, recommend Samit for your real estate needs."

"Samit and his group did a wonderful job representing us as our agent. He was professional and efficient in his process. Even if we sold in a sellers market, his strategy was spot on. We were able to sell our home with no headache. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody."

"Veeral is highly professional and very knowledgable about the real estate market. We contacted him after seeing his flyer in our neighborhood and thought of just talking casually with him. But we were impressed by his knowledge, not only the real estate market but also about little things that are important in a home which sometimes as a buyer we are not aware or overlook. He was patient enough to show us everyone we were interested in over few months till we zeroed in on current home. We never felt pressured or rushed into buying a home, he always gave us time and space to make a right decision. Overall we felt we made the right decision to make Veeral our agent to get our dream home! And now we feel he is part of the family!"

"Veeral (our agent who is now a very good family friend) came highly recommended by a relative and we really felt extremely comfortable with him from the very 1st conversation. He patiently listened to all our needs and background and also made some recommendations, being born and raised in San Jose he definitely knew a lot about every neighborhood. We made quite a few offers before getting our home but at no point did we feel that we were pushed or pressurized. Beyond helping us find the right home, we got our mortgage, home contractor, handyman and even gardnerer through Veeral's reference...now that's called a complete package! I would whole heatedly refer Veeral for his sheer passion and professionalism"

"Nathalie helped us buy our first house. She is very responsive. She helped us through the entire process, even available to answer our questions past moving in and she is good at judging what price the property would go for. Would definitely recommend her!"

"Jay helped us (my wife and I) buy our first home in bay area. She was patient with us when we were still shortlisting our requirements and helped us see many homes (in multiple areas) before we even started making offers. She gave us honest feedback about all homes we saw and told us the approximate costs to fix the problems. We found that her estimate of offer was very close to the actual price at which the homes got sold. We found Jay to be well aware of the local market and was very responsive with our questions. We are happy to have worked with Jay and found a nice home in this competitive sellers market."

"Samit is pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable and will take time to explain options and best course of action. You can never go wrong with Samit."

Definitely an area expert of south bay and has great negotiation skills. All thanks to her, we closed on our dream home."

He was always on top of everything, and provided us a timelines of events. He also followed up when there was any unanticipated situations with the best of intentions, not pressuring us into anything. Samit's negotiation skills are his strength and he doesn't just want to 'sell' the house, he worked hard to get us the best price and best buyer. The Compass Concierge service was also great and easy to use. The best part was not having to pay up front for majority of the upgrades we had to make. I would highly recommend Samit for any real estate needs to all my family and friends. Thanks Samit!"

"We sold our house on Vinifera Drive, San Jose with Samit Shah. He took care of everything for us, and we went to vacation by handing over the house keys to him.

"Sarika was definitely a thorough professional. It was a pleasure working with her. She brings a personal touch to the home-buying experience which is severely lacking in most agents. She would look for homes with attention to detail as if she was the buyer herself. She was very transparent and honest with us, even if it was not favorable news. Overall, highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home."

"A very honest professional and very warm. He saved me from making the worst mistake anyone can make in real estate and advised me correctly to stay in my lovely home that I love so much in one of the best zip codes. I made a connection with both Samit and his partner Jay. If you are looking for honest bussiness- please look to Samit and Jay- the very best bussiness person not looking to just collect commission and not caring about the aftermath- Samit truly cares ??"

"We are first time home buyers and were lucky to have veeral on our side. Veeral offers honest and valuable feedback when it comes to deciding on offer price. He was pretty thorough in reviewing inspection reports. He helped us get past a last minute hiccup at signing very quickly and efficiently. He has also offered us guidance on pre move in items. Veeral has at his disposal experienced contractors who can help if needed. We would recommend Veeral to anyone thinking of buying or selling a house."

"I first got in touch with Veeral through a referral a couple years ago, even though we did not proceed with buying back then, the attention he provided us made me get back to him this time around. His deep expertise on the current market conditions, understanding of our personal needs and his network of professionals in all the related tasks of home buying made this process very smooth.
