Shilpa is on top of things without being pushy. Over the years, Shilpa has helped me sell two homes and buy one. Her negotiation skills are exemplary. She got us the best possible price while both selling and buying. And she wouldn’t hesitate to walk away from a deal for a better outcome. She made the process stress free by handling the expected and unexpected occurrences smoothly and professionally. I would not hesitate to recommend her to my friends and get her guidance if I find myself in the market one more time!
-Sellers/Shiva and Bhuvana/ Sold 6784 Grasshopper ave Newark

Shilpa has been a great help for us in buying our home in this crazy Bay Area market. It is still unbelievable to think that we have started looking for a home in mid Jan ’22 and bought a home by late Feb ’22. Shilpa’s guidance has helped us in preparing ourselves for the market from day 1 and have all the resources ready when the time comes. Shilpa was on top of things whether it is negotiating with the seller’s realtors, following up with mortgage lender/title holders, getting the inspections done, or walking us through the inspection reports and making us understand what is coming our way after we purchase the home. She leaves no stones unturned when it comes to deadlines and pushes (in a great way) everyone to avoid any delays. We were scared of hearing stories that the journey of buying a home in the Bay Area is a nightmare before we started looking for one, but I could not believe how easy it was when we secured one and all the credit goes to Shilpa. Our journey has not ended yet. Shilpa is helping us in providing referrals to contractors and architects for our future projects. Thank you!! Thank you!! It was a pleasure working with you and becoming good friends in the process. We would highly recommend Shilpa to anyone who is in the market looking for homes.
-Buyers/The Syeds/ Bought 3138 Balmoral way San Jose

Shilpa is an extremely professional, approachable, good advisor whether you would like to buy or sell a home. As a buyer we got a lot of good tips while choosing the home. She answers all the queries patiently, irrespective of whether it is big or small. She goes the extra mile whether it is talking to the seller agent or lender or escrow team and making sure to close the deal on time. I recommend her services if you are looking for buy or sell a home in the bay area.

She communicated well and was straight-forward in her dealings. I would be happy to recommend Shilpa to my friends and colleagues.

"We loved working with Shilpa! She helped us a lot when getting our first home. Her knowledge came handy when deciding if a house was or wasn't a good investment and in the end, we ended up getting the home of our dreams at a great price. Thanks Shilpa for all the support and making our dream come true!"
- Sorangel Alegria Pires Tavares Capao | Bought a Single Family home in 2020 in West San Jose, San Jose, CA.

"Shilpa helped us sell our home and buy another home. She was very easy to work with, knowledgeable, professional and was aggressive without being pushy. I felt like she guided us well through the whole process—she kept our best interests in mind at all times."
- B. Gurus | Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2020 in San Ramon, CA

"Shilpa helped us in buying our house. Her knowledge and experience is very good when it comes to inputs on the market, exploring neighborhoods, inspections/condition of house and other things to watch out. She has very good rapport with other agents, financial institutes and agencies for inspections and other similar work. Our experience working with her has been great and we would highly recommend her!"
- Prerna Singh | Bought a Single Family home in 2019 in Almaden Valley, San Jose, CA.

"We just closed our new home with Shilpa and cannot thank her enough for all the help and guidance she provided. We cannot think of working with anyone else when it comes to buying a home. Shilpa not only understands the market to provide you meaningful guidance, she also tries to understand your needs and make relevant suggestions. What sets her apart is that she tries to work with you in a way that suits you. The result is not just getting your dream home at a great price but through a process which is cordial and minimizes anxiety. She goes above and beyond by going through disclosures and pointing any important issue which may matter and translating it in a way you would understand. She has the necessary knowledge and experience to suggest when to let go of something and when to dig deeper. Working with Shilpa feels more like a friend than a realtor helping you buy a home. We would recommend Shilpa in a heartbeat when it comes to buying a home."
- Meghana | Bought a Single Family home in 2019 in San Ramon, CA.

"Very knowledgeable and dedicated. She worked with my family from the beginning to the end. She is also very professional. I would recommend her to my family and friends."

-Sekhar and Mrudula | Bought a single-family home in Pleasanton, CA.

"Finally found a home we loved and Shilpa made it ours! She has been a true friend and trusted partner in this journey and is always looking out for us. Her passion for work shows and her integrity and work ethics are unquestionable. She is super efficient and very knowledgeable about the ever changing market conditions. In this highly competitive market you need to act fast and Shilpa can think on her feet adapting to changing situations quickly while remaining focused on our priorities and not settling for less. From the start, Shilpa took the time to understand our specific needs, never pushy and was very clear in her strategy to make it a winning deal. I have seen her multitask effortlessly and make this complicated process seem like a breeze. You can literally see her mind ticking away from the moment we enter a house as she lists out the pros and cons of every place as if she lived there! She is well versed with the regulations, remodeling possibilities, resale value, evolution of neighborhood, community etc. to help you get a broader perspective and make informed decisions. She has most of the answers, estimates etc. on her finger tips and if not, is very prompt in finding out the information for you. She is very skillful at negotiating and meticulous in all the paper work. She will go out of the way to make sure that nothing is overlooked by us and personally guides every step of the way. She also has excellent referrals for all aspects of the process - financial, contractors, inspections etc. and helps you find the right contact for every service needed along the way and afterwards, until you truly feel at home! When it comes to your real-estate needs, Shilpa is the perfect choice."

About Shilpa
Having lived in the Tri Valley for more than 15 years now, I have come to love and cherish helping clients buy and sell real estate. My philosophy is both simple and profound....to do the best possible job for my clients! Whether it is listing a home, finding a home for a buyer, staging a house, negotiating contracts or renting a house out ..no detail is ever overlooked. Each transaction has always been the beginning of a life long relationship! Since I have always considered client satisfaction as my topmost priority, my business continues to expand with referrals! My husband and I raise our lovely family in the valley and cherish the many opportunities that it offers! I am proud to have served clients all over the Tri Valley and Silicon Valley! Give me a call and let me know how I can help!
As an agent who's an expert in our local Tri-Valley, and the greater Silicon Valley area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:

Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home

Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.

Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
