Priya was very helpful in determining what we truly need. After a more than a year of searching and getting outbid several times, we gave up mid-way through the process until a close friend recommended that we try Priya. In our first conversation, she gave us a realistic assessment of what budget is possible based on our minimum criteria for our future home. And for every prospective home we visited, she provided timely reports on crime and overall quality of living in the neighborhood. We found her advice of visiting neighborhoods at night to be very valuable in finally closing in our house. We're grateful to her for making our first home purchase happen! She was diligent yet empathetic in her approach. We definitely recommend!

We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Priya. We were first-time homebuyers with googled knowledge on how to find the right place. Our budget was really tight and we really were in doubt about home buying with so much unpredictability with COVID.
Luckily, we met Priya!

She was extremely responsive and pro-active in scheduling home tours at the right time and guided us through the entire process .She was our biggest support in all our bidding losses, and helped us look forward to the next one, which we felt was the most important part in this entire process.

Priya's background in structural engineering was great value-add.She gave us great suggestions on structural improvements that could be done with all the houses we seriously considered, which was very helpful in our bidding decisions.

We never felt forced to make an offer and when we finally found the "one",it was within our budget and with great schools.She was prompt and helped us with all follow ups with seller agent, bank and title company.

Thanks Priya for all the help! We would 200% recommend Priya to any one looking to buy/sell home.

As first time homebuyers, we had very little to absolutely no idea about the housing market and how things work in real estate. Priya helped us with the whole process in a turnkey fashion. Right from helping us narrow down zip codes, to comparing the loan programs different lenders offered us, up until recommending good places to buy furniture, she was with us throughout. The best thing about Priya is that she is extremely proactive and deeply invested in her clients. She followed up with us every single day (sometimes multiple times a day) and went the extra mile to ensure that we were making constant progress - with preapprovals, home applications, reviewing and signing documents, etc; she was on top of things and made sure we were too. She provided honest feedback on homes and helped us make independent and intelligent choices about going one way or another with many potential homes. This helped us narrow down our dream home in a very short timeframe and we had our very first offer accepted! Our loan process however was a bit drawn out and complicated and Priya stepped in and coordinated with our lenders and the title company constantly to iron out all issues and made sure we closed on time. Even after closing, Priya kept in touch and recommended cleaners and handymen which made moving in to our new home a breeze. We have bombarded Priya with a LOT of first time homeowner questions and she has been nothing but extremely patient and empathetic.

With Priya, a great home buying experience is no longer a myth! Thanks so much Priya, we now not only have a great realtor but also a really good friend and a go to person. :)

If there was one thing we did right when we decided to buy our first home, then that'd definitely be started working with Priya, she took care of everything else for us. She was such an amazing person to work with. She understands and connects well with us. She goes above and beyond to make sure we're making the right decision at every step of the way. She explains ins and out of the homes we saw, walked us thru all the finest details we should be looking for. She was not trying to sells us any home but wanted to buy the best we can get. She is very meticulous and honest when going thru documentations, contracts, sales agreement and informed us about everything there is. She was the sole reason for us to secure a great loan at a fantastic rate. She is always available for us when we needed her and updated us about the progress as and when it required. She shared her wealth of knowledge about real estate market and homes buying and owning in general which we'll need it even after the closing. We're so thankful that we met Priya and she has found a new place which we'll gladly call it our home. 10/10 would highly recommend anyone who is looking to buy or sell homes.

Priya just helped us close a home. Though we could not meet her in person frequently due to COVID, the entire experience could not have been smoother. She took care of all the fine details and helped us with all of the paperwork online. It has been a great experience working with her and I would highly recommend her. Thanks Priya!

Priya helped us to sell our townhouse in Northern San Jose. She was referred by my friend who had worked with her before. Right from day one, she was very professional, always available to discuss any questions and concerns. She referred very good contractors to do some upgrades. The staging came out very well. When we received the offers, she went the offers with us in detail and help us chose the best one. She gave all the inputs and let us take the right decision. I would recommend her to anyone who is in the process of selling homes.

Thank you Priya for your professional service and keeping the selling process very smooth.

Sweet Home Owners
Priya is an awesome realtor. She is filled with energy and excitement always! She is very knowledgeable in the real estate business and is always on top of everything. She considered all the factors important for us like school district, commute, area, price range, property appreciation. She guided us through the entire process and answered all the questions that we had at every stage. Being first time home buyers we were confused about a lot of things but she made it easy for us. She continues to remind us about things that we should be taking care of even after moving in which is extremely sweet of her. She was always available for us making time from her busy schedule and she does that even today. She thoroughly reviewed all the documents related to the loan and home purchase and kept us informed of all the procedures. She acted as a liaison for property buying, escrow, loan closure and property handoff . She accompanied us in every step and helped us throughout. She prepared an awesome moving kit for us and reminded us about the things to be done for a smooth move. She goes above and beyond and dedicates a lot of personal attention. She is not just our agent but has become a really good friend. We highly recommend Priya.

We’re first time home buyers and were trying to look for houses with a previous agent who didn’t provide enough information about the crimes happening around the place when our friends recommended Priya to us. We moved to having Priya as our agent because she was able to give us information about crimes, schools, supermarkets and a bunch of other stuff near the homes we were looking for. The main plus that we found with Priya was that she was always available when we had questions to ask for, so there was good communication and availability all the time. She helped us finalize and close our home. As first time home buyers we didn’t have a lot information about real estate purchase, but Priya has been guiding us through what’s good/bad right from writing an offer, negotiating the offer, finding mortgage lenders and until close of Escrow. She’s been great to work with and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a home to buy. On top of all this, we found a good friend in our agent :)

It has been a pleasure working with Priya!! She was directed to us by our lending agent and while we were talking to our friends for an agent, we simply called Priya to see how we feel. I must say we felt extremely comfortable talking to her as though we got in right hands, she is so knowledgeable with all the aspects of home search.
She helped us with all the questions we had and always suggested the best house we could go for..
First time home buyers have always more things in mind and working with with Priya was best thing happened to us. We are very happy in our new home.
We highly recommend her to our friends and everyone we meet who is looking to buy a home.

Thank you Priya

Buying a house for first time buyers like us is overwhelming and full of new experiences.
We are really happy that our friends referred Priya to us. She helped us out in each and every aspect starting from what all things we should look for in a house till closing. She guided us all through our search process which evolved over time. We literally looked at all types of houses from Single Family to Condo/TownHouses. Priya was very patient in this entire process and always guided us with all the pros and cons of each type of properties that helped us to take the best decision. She always gave an honest opinion about the price of a property that gave us a fare understanding of the market value.
We will happily recommend her to anyone who is looking forward to fulfill their dream of owning a house.
Thank You Priya for being a part of our Home search journey and bringing smile on our faces!!

Like everybody says “our situation is unique”, we were no exception. We are the most pickiest buyers where everything needs to match. We need to have a great house, great yard, great schools , vaasthu matching our requirements and a great price point. Priya has been very patient and has been working has been working with us for more than six months to find us a home which checks everything that we asked for. She has been nothing but wonderful in making sure that we we received a curated set of houses every week so that we can go take a look at it. she has spent a lot of time Outside of the business hours to to show us the house explain all the disclosures and make sure that we are really comfortable with our purchase. At no point in time did we feel that she pushed us into writing Offers that we were not comfortable with. I will recommend Priya to anyone as my first choice realtor.

Priya helped us buy our first home. She is very knowledgeable and detail oriented. And watched out for us every step of the way. She let us evolve our requirements and stepped in to help us close the house which ticked off all our requirements as close as possible. We also especially appreciate her move in kit which had all essentials that one struggles to find while moving in. Its that attention to detail and care and smart deal making and troubleshooting that we appreciate and cherish. We can say with reasonable confidence that we will reach out to her again if we have real estate needs in the Bay Area.

We came to know Priya through our friend when we decided to look for our first home. The best thing about Priya is, she always highlights both plus and minus when you visit a property and would also give you a rough estimate of existing upgrades/missing upgrades so that you can plan your price point when writing an offer. In my experience she will never try to influence/thrust her ideas on you rather she would try to give you a complete picture so that you can take an informed decision. Her experience is very valuable at every stage, especially for us we had so much issues around loan once the offer got accepted but Priya maintained a cool head and helped us patiently from beginning to end.

My family has bought+sold 5 homes with Priya to-date. I first met her in November 2015 - was introduced to her by a good friend.

Priya is very sincere, very high integrity, cares only about your best interest - she does not hesitate to tell you not to overspend on upgrades for instance even though the higher spending would impact her commissions.

She is very thorough - she catches minutest of details and follows up to ensure everything is in your favor and meets your needs.

She is also extremely knowledgable - has an engineering degree and is able to give good advice on many aspects of the home. She gives really sound advice on what works longer term with a home, what will impact re-sale etc.

She treats you like family and indeed builds long term relations.

I would 1000% recommend working with her, my family always will!!

We recently bought our first home and Priya was our agent. She was recommended by a friend who was also a client of Priya.

Since we were first time buyers, our requirements have slowly evolved as we started exploring. Priya has helped us every step of the way in figuring out what is best for us. She is very knowledgeable, detail oriented and spent a lot of time to find the right home for us. We are very happy with our purchase and thanks to Priya for finding us the right home.

I highly recommend Priya. She is the best agent!

We would highly recommend Priya. Our experience in working with her has been fabulous. We had recently moved from TX and had some reservations about the kind of house and the location etc. We did not like anything for the first 6 months and she was very patient. The first thing I liked about Priya was that she was not pushy. Infact, we were almost ready to put an offer for a house that are more than we could afford and she sensed it. She called to tell us not to stretch and that she will find something else that fits our budget. I was very touched by her gesture as she was more concerned about us rather than just making money. Then we came across a house that we absolutely loved. Priya used her experience and knowledge to put a very strong offer and we got the house within 2 days of coming into market, even before it went for Multiple bids/Open House. That is something rare in Bayarea and we had heard lot of scary storied but she fetched us a house on our very first offer.

But what I really loved about her was the fact that she was with us through out the process. Its like having a friend or sister to call and discuss any concerns, small or big. I asked her with so many questions, unrelated to her role as a realtor but more for advice and she was gracious enough to respond everything with equal level of concern. She even suggested a very good lender who saved us thousands of $$ in closing costs. She tried to save us every penny while negotiating closing costs with seller and appliance insurances. She even came and sat down through out our closing at the Title company, something that never happened in our prior transaction.

I found her to be extremely hard-working, dedicated and committed to her client to save their interest and not hers. She is a friend for life and we will always be using her for any future transactions, if any.

I am on the market looking for my first house for past several years. Priya is the sole reason that I got my house recently. My friend suggested to get a second opinion from Priya at a crucial point last year when I was about to close on a deal without knowing that the property had a nasty past. Since then Priya had become my agent. Humble, extremely knowledgeable, easy to work with, guides the customer throughout the process seamlessly until you get the keys, and keeps you informed about all that you would need to know and more throughout the buying process - these are my experiences with Priya. I highly recommend her.

We enjoyed working with Priya. She is a highly professional realtor and very friendly. She has guided us from the beginning in all the steps to choose the right house. Always guided us with the choices that we made. She provided details on the pros and cons of buying the house. We shortlisted many houses, she always analyzed the reports of the house and provided us guidance on the choice. She provided the pros and cons of going with the choice. Priya also guided us on the community and the surrounding area. She guided us through the loan preapproval, loan process and closing. Buying the house was very smooth process. She was always available to clarity all our queries and guided us with the choices for the home upgrades as well. She is highly professional, and we are glad that we had an opportunity to work with Priya. Now she is a family friend and we would recommend to our friends to choose Priya as the realtor.

We are first time home buyers and were referred to Priya by a friend of ours. We are so glad that we called her because she handheld us through out the process of buying our home. She prepared us completely on what to expect and the process to go through buying a home.

We bid on a couple houses before we decided to go with a new construction home, and she patiently worked with us. She was always available to answer our questions, be it over the phone or via text. She was very pro-active and has a great work ethic. The new construction was going to be ready only after a year and she was in touch with us whenever we needed her help for the entire 12 months.

She helped us with selecting the upgrades for the home as well. We had to go to India for 4 months during this process and didn't have to worry a thing about the home because Priya was in touch with builder whenever needed and took care of things. We were so amazed how someone could be so dedicated to their line of work irrespective of whether the bids went through or not or the home was going to be available immediately or a year later.

Overall it has been a great experience working with her and would definitely recommend her for anyone looking to buy/sell a home.

We came to know Priya from a friend. Now i would say, priya is more close a family friend than the actual friend who referred her. Priya is incredibly a hard & smart worker more than you could imagine. She is so passionate about what she is doing, she had gained so much knowledge. She is available "ALL THE TIME". Literally, any time she is there to answer our questions. Being a first time home buyer, we were looking for someone who would answer all our stupid questions.And, the filtered house list that she sends every day was peculiarly matching our interests.It was so easy to choose. She would always accompany us to see the houses on the weekends. She comes up with time -saving itinerary. She is bold, smart, talented,very active , social and approachable. For first time home buyers, who are total novice about market, house purchase, Priya will be the right fit. She will take you to where you want to be .She will support you right from the beginning , house hunt to final sign off. We are so happy about the house we bought! Kudos Priya !!
