Lila leads with her heart. She is committed, very responsive and brings her decades of experience into getting her clients the best outcome. She is sharp and knowledgeable and meticulous when it comes to process. As clients, we rested really easily because Lila took care of everything, end to end - right from laying the foundation of the process, helping us through the process with her fantastic well priced network of service providers. She worked incredibly hard and rolled up her sleeves along with us in the entire process. Lila believes in building relationships. In our context, we established a positive, collaborative relationship with our buyer that was also a net net positive financial experience for both the parties! In a competitive market, a pleasant experience of that kind is probably rare. We would highly recommend Lila! She is our team for life, make her yours!

Lila is absolutely amazing. She made the entire process of looking for a house very enjoyable. She was referred to us by a couple of friends who recently bought a house with her. At our first meeting, she took the time to explain the nuances of the process and answered all of our questions patiently. She has great knowledge about the market and connections with other realtors. She accompanied us to various places, to let us get a sense of the different kinds of properties available. Lila was very accommodating of our schedule and would meet us during late evenings to view some of the houses. She is very honest and provided us with insights on the house which as buyers we may not notice. We appreciate her negotiating skills that landed us the house. She is such a lovely person and we truly feel we have gained a friend. She goes above and beyond and helped us find the right resources for various jobs around the house. She and her team are highly professional with a personal touch. We highly recommend Lila to anyone looking for their new home.

Lila is absolutely fantastic. She was referred to us by my wife's manager who has been working with her for the past several years. We were working with a startup "Flyhomes" and after our first meeting with Lila, we immediately decided to go with her since she was simply amazing! She took the time to explain the nuances of the process and answered all of our questions patiently. She has great knowledge about the market and connections with other realtors, vendors etc. She has strong negotiating skills that helped us to an excellent deal on our house and we ended up buying below the market price. She is very honest & such a lovely person and we truly feel we have gained a friend. She goes above and beyond and helped us find the right resources for various jobs around the house. She and her team are always quick to respond to any questions we had not only during the buying process but also after the purchase was done and we're like a family now! Would highly recommend her for your next home purchase!

Lila is fantastic to work with. She has years of experience in the Bay area housing market and we loved that she gave us a very realistic aspect of what to expect in the market. We were first time home owners and she guided us very thoroughly through the process. She was ALWAYS available to show us the properties that we liked and was very honest in her opinion about whether something was worth the money or not. The best thing about Lila is that she is proactive and always there to negotiate through offers and support her clients. We would not have been able to find our beautiful new home without her and the team. I HIGHLY recommend Lila, especially if you are a first time owner as she knows the market,has years of experience and is the most delightful person to work with!

I was impressed how Lila works so proactively. She was always there to help but never pushed me one way or another and that is one of the reasons that I felt comfortable working with her. She went beyond her way to resolve several issues while I was out of state. She always communicated professionally and in a timely manner and I found my whole selling transaction experience with her very pleasant and constructive.

★★★★★
We were first time home buyers and Lila was our first and only agent. She was a Godsend to us as we were quite naive. She guided us through the whole process and did an amazing job at getting our offer accepted. She is very quick in responding to any queries. She has a very warm and welcoming personality and is so easy to talk to about any issues. She even responded and helped us after we moved into our new home. I would highly recommend her to anybody.

Lila helped my family to sell my father's house in Almaden after he passed away. She was extraordinarily helpful in getting the property ready for sale and setting a competitive price for it, as well as patient and supportive while we addressed legal issues related to the sale. Lila was simply a joy to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Lila is an amazing realtor. Her dedication and professional skills helped us get our dream home in this crazy market. She knows the real-estate world inside-out. Her expertise and overall grasp of current trends is remarkable. Lila makes sure her clients are her first priority and doesn't hesitate to help guide them in the right direction. Lila also makes sure she maintains personal relationships and connections. As first time home buyers, we were very lucky to have Lila as our realtor and mentor.

If not for Lila, we wouldn’t have found the right house in this crazy market. She is not only a great agent but a wonderful person! We never felt like we were pressured to bid for a house. In fact, Lila always openly shared her positive and negative opinions about all the houses we toured. Apart from her realtor expertise , she has a very deep knowledge about any kind of renovations. This was extremely helpful while making the decision before bidding for a house. Lila and her team are a complete package. They are there to help you from start to finish and even after you’ve purchased your house. They helped us with finding the right contractors, cleaners, movers, etc. This was immensely helpful for us being first time buyers. So to sum up, with Lila we not only found a great realtor but also a wonderful friend for life!

Lila is a rockstar realtor. We bought our second home in record time and she was our realtor when we bought our first one too. This second home we closed last week(Jun 2021) when there si a gneral boom in prices, demand and as many would call an extremely competitive time to buy. During our first buy we bought a fixer upper and this one is a brand new home. In both cases, as our realtor, Lila negotiated for us with a view of getting us the best value and always advised on how to frame the offer, write a buyers letter and also was super quick in contacting the sellers agent. She doesnt waste a single minute and her responsiveness makes me wonder if she sleeps. With her we have found a family friend(most of our family have used her for their RE needs) a wise and calm advisor and also someone with an exceptional presence in dealing with any issue or curveballs. She knows all the right and reasonable contacts for any of your needs whether its contractors, plumbers, electricians, designers and has the eye for detail and with her in your corner, you can buy your dream home.

Lila is a fantastic real estate agent, and we are so happy that we found her. She is highly responsive and stays in sync with us through our changing requirements making the whole home buying experience super smooth. Lila provided the much-needed clarity and guidance to help us land our dream home. She negotiated an excellent deal for us, even considering the current market considerations, and we cannot thank her enough for that. Lila has a wonderful team that supports her and an extensive network of professionals and contractors that enabled us to get the best deal possible from financing to pest control. Even after the sale was completed, she has stayed in touch and helped with additional connections to get us settled into the new home. Overall, A++!

Lila and her team helped us buy our current home and also helped us sell the old home. I have had first hand experience as both buyer and seller. She is super easy to work with. She is exceptionally good at understanding your needs/constraints and tailors the process to suit those needs. She has a dedicated team of associates (Robert and Niaz in my case) that are phenomenal, super helpful and guide you throughout the process. If there are any repairs or upgrades to be done, her team is super helpful in finding contractors and getting the work scheduled. She always keeps you updated, so you are never left wondering. As a buyer, I found that she is never pushy and is willing to wait however long it takes to find the right home. Super insightful in helping us figure out what the property is worth (based on comps). She has a magical way of working with other selling agents that allows us to gauge the interest level, so we can factor that into the offer price. She is very transparent and honest. She highlights both the pros and cons of any house so you are fully aware. Robert would read through disclosures and summarize it for me. Having another pair of eyes on those lengthy/important documents is immensely helpful. As a seller, she was super insightful in identifying the essential repairs needed to showcase the house as well as we possibly can. She generated an incredible amount of interest on the property. We ultimately ended up with multiple offers and we were very pleased with the offer we accepted. As a seller there are a bunch of disclosures to sign/provide. Niaz helped us a lot with understanding and navigating through those. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy/sell.

Lila is the best!!! We were referred to Lila by a close friend (who bought a home with her as agent). Right from the beginning, she took great care to understand our requirements and needs. She is always ready to show you any home (even if it seems not to be in line with what we want). At the same time she is quite open about her own views on what works and does not work. She took about 5-6 homes to know exactly what we wanted (we had some very specific requirements). After that she spared no effort to make it happen. We did have a long wait (due to our needs and of course, budget), but she never relented. She is super positive and always cheerful. That helps especially when you feel dejected after looking at many homes and not finding the one. When we finally got our bid accepted, Lila did not stop there. She did everything to help us get settled in - recommending professionals, stores and companies. It has been six months and she still checks in every once in a while. We could not have asked for anyone better. Lila, you rock!!!

We are second time clients of Lila! She helped us buy our first home and now our second home. Lila and Robert are super professional. Lila is great at building relationships and fosters them. She never pushed us in any direction and gave her honest opinion about different aspects of each home we toured. She is extremely patient and very responsive. When we went into contract with our second home, the initial lender we went with fell through. Lila has great contacts and introduced us to a lender she trusts and recommended us to them. She goes above and beyond with all her clients. Additionally, she always looks out for her clients and makes sure we have a foolproof contract. She worked closely with the seller's agent to revise our contract terms, when we had to switch our lender at the last minute. We would definitely recommend Lila and her team to have a seamless home buying experience!
