We moved to Bay area in Dec 2016, also looking to buy a house in the middle of insanely difficult housing market. After working with another agent and bidding for houses for a period of few months we gave up on buying a property at the end of 2017. During a weekend in Feb 2018, we decided to check out some of the open houses and we met Ranju at one of the open houses in Redwood city. She explained us about the property we were looking at with a lot of patience and was a very convincing agent. This made us think if we could talk to Ranju about the problems we had during our last year’s search for a house. Ranju proposed to meet us the same evening and we were totally convinced after talking to her that she would be the perfect realtor. Trust me, she is a very convincing and knows the market well. And it proved to be so true! I am so glad we worked with Ranju for our house buying process. I say this because we could buy the house of our choice without compromising on anything within just 4 weeks of looking at properties and she was able to negotiate a great price for us.
Ranju was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and took time to talk to us every time before we went for open houses. With an 80-pound dog, a budget of less than a million dollars it was very hard for us to determine which houses to go to and not to go to, given that people were paying 20% more over asking price. Most of the other agents said we shouldn’t bother looking to find the right house in the peninsula without more than a million dollars to bid and should consider cheaper areas like Fremont, and we were not ready to compromise on our location. Ranju made sure we had the disclosures in hand before going out for any open house, she was very honest in telling us if we had any chances of winning the house. She was available any time we needed to talk to her. If we liked a house, she would promptly check out the house with us. She not only helped us to choose the right houses to check out but also helped us to get our finances right. She even recommended a lending agent in the area and gave us the right points to ask a lender which saved us thousands of dollars. For the three previously lost bids, we were at the top 2nd, and that was a big deal for us! Ranju has a knack of connecting with other agents and everyone else involved in the transaction. We have a house because of her quick response, persistence and amazing negotiation skills. We could not have done this without Ranju and she is still taking care of us during the closing process. When it will be time to move again, we will definitely contact Ranju! We recommend Ranju to anyone who is looking to buy or sell any real estate in bay area so very highly!
