Were writing this review on the very day that we receive our keys to our new home. Our family and friends had told us that as first time homebuyers, the process could be arduous, but our experience was smooth sailing because of Shilpas expertise. From our first meeting with her, Shilpas profound knowledge about this often dizzying market and her well-researched insights into the specific property that we fell in love with put us at ease. She was even more protective of our budget than we were and safeguarded a true investment from what could have become an overly emotional purchase. Shilpa worked up multiple bidding strategies and negotiated for us like a chess grandmaster. Before our offer was submitted among multiple bids, she had built rapport with the listing agent so that our offer was packaged inside an established relationship of trust. We even heard through the grapevine that the listing agent flat out said that we won the competition because of Shilpa. For closing, she introduced us to a team of skilled and responsive professionals from our lender to our home warranty issuer. Throughout the thirty days, Shilpa helped us to stay on track with a detailed timeline so we didnt miss a single step. She was always quick to reply to every single question we had, and she often made herself available on calls with other parties involved if we knew that we may encounter a term or a process that we didnt understand. aEURoeAsk ShilpaaEUR? was a commonly used phrase between us for a few weeks! When we decided to have some work done in our new bathroom, Shilpa went the extra mile to arrange and attend meetings with contractors and provided guidance on selection until we chose the right team for our project. All the while she gave time- and money-saving recommendations without any pressure about items ranging in size from appliances to quarter rounds. While our experience with Shilpa was as first-time homebuyers, she most certainly advocates for buyers and sellers at all rungs of the property ladder. When we are ready for our next rung, we know we will turn to each other with smiles on our faces and say, aEURoeAsk Shilpa.aEUR? A dream was realized today, a dream that very possibly wouldnt have yet come true without Shilpa.

The realtor team of Brett Caviness and Don Straub recently helped us sell our house in Redwood City, CA, and they exceeded our expectations in every way. Brett and Don are attuned to the market, very professional, and exceptionally easy to work with. We were selling our house with plans to buy a new house in another state. They understood all the details pressing on us and provided great solutions and advice for whatever we needed help with. We thought our property would be challenging to sell, but Brett and Don knew exactly how to market it. Within a week of putting the house on the market, we had six offers in hand, most for above asking price. The final sales price was far beyond what we had dared to expect. Brett and Don made it easy for us to move through each step of the transaction, pulling in resources and coordinating with other stakeholders as needed. I would recommend Brett and Don to anyone buying or selling a house in Redwood City.
