"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 !"

"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."

"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 sold our rental property in Newark. From the beginning to the end of the transaction, Samit provided his expertise, recommendations and guidance along the way. 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!"

Here are somethings worth mentioning about their involvement: very knowledgeable about the area, very patient with picky home-buyers like us, were available at any time of the day and night to answer questions, take us to homes during non-open house hours, made sure the transaction stayed on course once we made the offer, has very good connections for financing, handyman/contractor, movers, etc., very friendly and courteous."

"We were long term residents of San Jose. We decided to relocate to Idaho. We contacted Samit Shah who is the neighborhood Real Estate specialist for Basking Ridge, a subdivision in San Jose, Ca. Samit understood our needs and expectations. He brought in an Amazing As-Is offer, negotiated hard, and sold are home within 10 days- $45,000 above the asking price. Samit and his team did all the marketing and advertisements to reach out to the maximum buyers and realtors. They work hard and always are reachable over the phone. I highly recommend Samit Shah and his team to sell your home. He understands the seller's situation and plans accordingly to get the highest possible price. "

"Samit and Veeral listed and sold our house in Evergreen, over the asking price, while we had relocated across the country! Both are extremely knowledgeable experts in the real estate process and numbers analysis it takes to list and sell a house. We interviewed several agents before meeting Samit and Veeral. From that first meeting we knew they were the ones that we could trust to take care of all the planning, analysis, recommendations and details for us to sell and close remotely.
Samit and Veeral were easy to work with, they gave honest straight-up opinions, and were very responsive even though we were in different time zones. They exceeded all our expectations and we highly recommend them. Thank you Samit and Veeral! "

"We had an amazing experience selling our home with Samit. He made the whole process very seamless and simple. He was very transparent all the time. We got to know about Samit through our friends. When we had made up our mind, we have talked to him. With the last min request, he prepared him self very well and gave us a wonderful overview of the process. That is when we had decided to move forward with him. He was keeping us in loop on the market fluctuations, but never discouraged us to go below the listing price.
He has a very different approach of listing the home, with great staging, drone videos etc. He never got us any offer that was below the asking price. Overall it was a very smooth and great experience. I highly recommend for any buying or selling needs."

"We are very happy in choosing Samit and Veeral in selling our house in Evergreen. First, they are area experts and know the market very well. They advised when is the right time to sell and at the right listing price. They made sure our house is ready for the open house by having it cleaned and staged.
Their internet marketing and network is extensive to let buying realtors know our house is in the market. They also had established a friendly relationship with other realtors in the area which is very important. There are no short cuts to the process and everything is done properly and professionally. Samit is an expert in negotiating and we trust what he brings to the table is the best offer at that time. When friends and neighbors ask about Samit, we highly recommend them."

"My wife and I are very happy in partnering with Samit in selling our property in Basking Ridge. Samit is an area expert and knows the market very well. Samit advised us is the right time and suggested market value listing price. Samit and his team were amazing. From general contractor, cleaners, stager, photographer, and to internet marketing; everyone was on time and spot on. In this buyers market and real estate inventory is high, our property stood out from the rest. We were only 7 days in the maket and one weekend of open house when we accepted an offer above the asking price.
Samit is an expert in negotiating and we trust him. I admit, this whole selling experience had its challenges, but my wife and I are happy with the result. We were in good hands with Samit. I suggest to interview a few real state agents, You will know the difference between agents after you meet with Samit. I highly recommend Samit and his team when you are ready to take the next step."

"We all know Bay Area is a tough market for home buyers. Getting a good agent is key to finding a good home. We were lucky to have Veeral as our agent. Veeral took the initiative to short list homes that we may like, introduced us to booming areas that we hadn't considered earlier in our search and tagged along for quite a few open houses with us. After bidding for a few properties we realized that the competitive market does not suit our financial situation. But Veeral turned things around with a stroke of magic.
He took the initiative to contact home owners and agents in the area we were looking and found us a home off market. I'm pretty sure we would still be searching for a home three months later without luck if this had not happened. It was easy to interact with Veeral all through the process. He never pushed us into a decision and always weighed in with valuable inputs. I still take his help and advice on home repairs and contractors. I would highly recommend Veeral."

"We worked with Sarika and Samit to buy our first home in the Cambrian neighborhood in San Jose. Sarika is very professional when it came to the business aspects of the transaction - evaluating homes and neighborhoods, getting appraisal estimates, working with the seller agents and going through the offer process. We got pretty reasonable cost estimates on the work needed on a house as well as for the expected appraisal values which helped us make go/no-go decisions as well as determine the right amount to make a good offer with. More importantly she is a genuinely warm and friendly person. She patiently worked through the initial phase where we were pretty indecisive about the location.
I remember when we found a couple of "sensible" homes - decent location, within our price range - she clearly sensed that we are trying to make a logical choice and we don't really like the house. She told us at the time to not make a decision until we like, really like, a house - and if it takes long, she's gonna be with us. I truly appreciate her for this. Buying a first home to live in and raise a family, is an emotional decision too. She also helped us through the phase where we liked several houses, made several offers, only to see none of them getting accepted - by trying to improvise on situations at times (like making an offer in person), or just playing the cheerleader role at others. It's this humane aspect that was the best part of working with Sarika and Samit. "

"Our Story: When we first started looking for a SF Bay Area home we were particular about many aspects of it (location, age, layout, etc). We have looked for a home for about a year before we found the house we could truly go for. We, being mountain lovers looked for houses on the eastern edge of bay area all along North-South mountain corridor from Hayward to Morgan Hill. After narrowing it down a little more to Fremont - San Jose range, we came across Santa Teresa area and specifically Basking Ridge community. We immediately fell in love with Santa Teresa area in general (due to its loads of greenery, hill views and of course its comparable affordability) and Basking Ridge community in particular (due to its age, build quality, ambience, proximity to highways and especially its location perfectly sandwiched between a green belt and a mountain range). In addition, we liked particular tranquil locations closer to the mountain side in this community.
Samit/Sarika Review: This is when we came across one of Samit’s video advertising about Basking Ridge community. We immediately met him and his associate Sarika. They took us on and worked with both extreme professionalism and lots of patience. As you would have realized by reading our story that we had very specific choices. They worked with us for close to a year to find us the house that we felt right. They never showed over-zealousness or pushy characteristics, but always advised when appropriate. They together displayed the right amount of both professional and personal touch. Actually, an interesting story, they found us a home on the exact street of our first choice. I am not saying they are miracle workers. But I am saying they have a vast network, good understanding and respect for both the buyer and seller needs and preferences. In the current seller market with extremely low inventory, it is essential to find such right agents to close the deal properly without ending up rushing into anything due to desperation that can result in a buyer’s remorse. Thank you both Samit and Sarika. Wish you lots of luck and successful closes. "

"We worked with Samit for our recent home buy and sell transactions. The overall working experience with Samit was very pleasant and outcomes are beyond our expectations. I am happy to write a review and want other's to get the same pleasure and outcome of working with him. He made the whole process very easy and worry free for us. After I called him, within no time he started working on our case and put us in the right buying/selling mindset.
Samit knows the evergreen and neighboring housing market the best. We saw quite a few homes and narrowed down our search. Many times as a buyer we don’t know what’s available in the market and what we should be looking for in our future home. He helped us narrow down our choices of locations, floor plans and prioritize on things we want to make our offer decisions strong. In the bay area, these days just offering higher price over asking is not enough. He has strong insights and knows how to make the transaction work in your favor. This is very important as it could cost you as a buyer more time, money and no home of your dreams. His communication is prompt, clear and crisp. He is very punctual to all the appointments and very cognizant of his clients time.
He is very professional in all of his dealings. He doesn’t speculate and gives any nonsensical reasons. He works only based on facts and helps you navigate through all kind of difficult situations. He has lots of patience to deal with all kind of situations which is a must in the buy/sell process. He also doesn’t push you to make a decision. He emphasizes on taking time to make the right decision in the home selection process rather than buy a home only to regret later. We are very glad he steered us off our own impatience in home offers and selection, ultimately leading to our dream home. Thanks, Samit. On the sell side of our transaction, he advised on many ideas to fetch the best market price which was higher than our expectations. He helped us get the home renovations done and make it in move ready condition. I would suggest taking his advice on such preparations as the return is good for both buyers and sellers. He used the best marketing tools online and offline. On the sell side, right pricing and marketing are key. He is excellent with digital media, social network media and is in tune with the bay area’s high tech community. He personally drops flyers and hosts an open house and is very friendly and genuinely interested in helping potential buyers as well."
"We worked with Samit for our recent home buy and sell transactions. The overall working experience with Samit was very pleasant and outcomes are beyond our expectations. I am happy to write a review and want other's to get the same pleasure and outcome of working with him. He made the whole process very easy and worry free for us.

"Samit and his team did an awesome job in selling my house within just one weekend. Samit had been very professional, very communicative every step of the way. I would ask anyone buying or selling a residential property to go with Samit Shah. You will not regret it."

"Buying a Single Family House in the Bay area is a huge challenge. Samit was able to help us guide through this process. The house hunting process lasted 2-3 months. Samit would go to various houses with us and provide a balanced view. It did not feel like he made us rush our decision to get a commission. Even for the house we did end up buying, Samit provided both pros and cons. Originally we had given up on that house, but Samit took the initiative and negotiated the price down by around 80k which made us change our mind.
His business model is different from other agents. He does not provide cash back incentive, but he is able to do that because he is confident about his contacts and local knowledge that should help the buyer complete their purchase sooner. He is a responsive agent and may save more money on negotiation than other cashback type agents."

""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. He is very knowledgeable about the local housing market, and brought his own buyer. We could sell our house pretty fast even in this stagnant market situation. We are very happy with our experience with him as our selling agent. " "

"Samit is one of the best full-service realtors in the San Jose area and is a great person to work with. Since we did not have the time to be deeply involved in the process of selling our home, we entrusted Samit with the entire process and he did an excellent job. Samit found a great contractor and helped identify the updates which were necessary for generating the best return on investment, while keeping the costs under budget. Samit covered the staging and marketing himself and was very thorough with his work. Samit created a comprehensive MLS listing and a dedicated website which included photographs, a floor plan, a video tour with overhead drone footage, and a virtual 3D tour. After hosting one weekend of open houses, Samit was able to find a strong buyer and negotiated a deal to sell the house above list price, which was an impressive feat, given that the housing market was undergoing a correction at the time. If you would like someone who will manage the entire selling process end-to-end and negotiate a good deal, then I highly recommend working with Samit."

"I am thrilled to write this long-overdue review for our outstanding realtor, Samit Shah. Samit's exceptional dedication and expertise guided us through the challenging process of selling our house during the peak of the pandemic and purchasing our dream home at a remarkable price reduction of $180,000. His remarkable qualities and unwavering commitment truly set him apart in the real estate industry.
Listens To You And Prioritizes Your Specific Needs: From the very beginning, Samit demonstrated a keen ability to listen attentively to our needs and preferences. He took the time to understand what was most important to us, and throughout both our selling and buying experiences, he consistently made our priorities his own.
Understanding of the Local Market: Samit's knowledge of the local market is unparalleled. His in-depth research and insights into market trends allowed us to maximize our selling price, even during a time when open houses were not possible due to city policies. We trusted Samit to navigate these challenging circumstances, and he delivered exceptional results.
Effective Communication: Communication is key in real estate, and Samit excels in this regard. He maintained regular and transparent communication with us throughout the entire process. His updates kept us informed and reassured, reducing the stress associated with selling and buying a home.
Honesty, Transparency, and Integrity: Samit's unwavering commitment to honesty, transparency, and integrity was evident in every interaction. We always felt that he had our best interests at heart, and he consistently provided us with sound advice and guidance.
Great Negotiator: Samit's negotiation skills are truly exceptional. During the sale of our house, he secured top dollar, defying the challenging market conditions. His strategic approach and expertise were equally impressive during our home purchase, where he negotiated a purchase price significantly lower than what we initially expected. Within 24 hours of our offer being placed, he successfully had it accepted, surpassing our expectations.
In summary, Samit Shah is not just a realtor; he is a trusted partner who goes above and beyond for his clients. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have found a realtor for life in Samit. His dedication, market knowledge, communication skills, integrity, and negotiation prowess make him stand out in the real estate industry.
Thank you, Samit, for guiding us through one of the most significant financial decisions of our lives. Your exceptional service and commitment to our goals have made a lasting impact, and we wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone seeking a top-tier realtor."
