“When I decide to sell my rental home in Santa Clara last year I wanted to interview three or four realtors. Vinicius Brasil was the first one I met and after his presentation I knew I wanted to work with him. He communicates well. He listens well. I liked his ideas and approach. He has really good contacts in construction so repairs were fast and reasonably priced. The staging was excellent. My home sold very fast and for more than I hoped. Vinicius is the best!“

“We sold and bought a house with Michael Galli and his team and the experience was terrific !!

Let’s start with the selling.

We had interviewed two realtors before Michael, while both were competent and I am sure they would have done a reasonable job, they were missing the spark of enthusiasm and excitement of someone who truly loves their job and is great at it.

The afternoon I called Michael he came immediately the same day. His enthusiasm for the job was infectious, he came up with a list of changes which would improve the house value. Clearing up the front yard, replanting grass in the back and the front yard. What flowers to put. What fencing to put, what interior / exterior paints to use which will resonate with most buyers. What lights etc. In a period of days and at a reasonable cost they were done and the house looked much better.

Michael has a team working with him listing agent, contractors, land scapers, custodians, operations manager, stagers all of whom are super quick at their job and their vendors are all very reliable. The listing agent Bri apart from other things did a wonderful intro video to the house. The custodian Mani did a wonderful job in keeping the house amazingly spotless clean and did a lot of innumerable things like cleaning the hot tub, naming all the fruit trees, making a drawing in the chalkboard in the kids bedroom. Ola did a lot of day to day communication. She was on top of any message and had an amazing fast turn around time given any requirement.

The proof of the pudding was in the selling. It was on the market for less than a week and we sold the house above our initial expectations.They kept everything in stellar condition till close and we closed on time.

Won’t think twice before hiring them again for the next time I have to sell.

Coming to the buy side.

Michael has a nose for what to look for in a house. Maybe houses which looked good to us Michael gave us sound reasons why it may not be great to live in however good it looks, and has all the bells and whistles.

We zeroed in on a house which fit all our requirements and his team did a great job in understanding the demand and the pricing.

Even post purchase Michael and team have very helpful advice on things which can be improved before moving in and also help us find the right vendors for the improvements we are making.

I would recommend going with Michael Galli and Team for a stress free and rewarding home selling/buying journey in the Bay Area.“

“Astha was amazing to work with! Very professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire process seamless. Their expertise helped me find the perfect home. Highly recommend!"“

“I had the pleasure of working with Sunaina Arora to sell my home. Sunaina’s deep knowledge of the market and her thoughtful strategy put me at ease from the beginning. Sunaina’s professionalism and attention to detail made every step of the process smooth and efficient - whether it was preparing the house for viewings, guiding me through the offers, or answering all the questions.

Thanks to Sunaina’s expertise and hard work, we were able to get the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Sunaina Arora for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.“

“Angele was incredibly supportive and communicative during our home buying search. Over the course of 2+ years she showed us countless properties to help us hone in on home of our dreams. Angele's local knowledge allowed us to hear that the exact property we were dreaming of was coming to market which gave us time to prepare well in advance. This enabled us to get in early, close quickly and buy our dream home. We were lucky to meet Angele and would recommend her to anyone shopping for a new home in Los Gatos.“

“Working with Lydia has been a pleasure. To say Lydia goes the extra mile would be an understatement. During the recent purchase of my home, I had to call Lydia well after midnight on a number of occasions. Lydia was ALWAYS ready and willing to talk. She will truly go above and beyond to get the best for her clients. It has been a pleasure working with her. Highly Recommend!“

“I had a wonderful time working with Mike & his team. He managed a sale in a tough market and got me the number that I was trying to hit. And along the way, the team went above & beyond to support the process. I highly recommend him as a real estate agent.“

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Arpad as our real estate agent, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, Arpad demonstrated an exceptional level of thoroughness that truly set him apart. Every detail, no matter how small, was meticulously handled, ensuring that we felt confident and well-informed throughout the entire process.

Arpad's exceptional knowledge of the real estate market was evident from our very first meeting. His ability to assess risks and provide insightful guidance was invaluable, helping us make informed decisions with peace of mind. It's clear that Arpad is not only passionate about his work but also deeply committed to his clients' success.

Customer service is where Arpad truly shines. He was always available to answer our questions, provided prompt follow-ups, and made us feel like a priority every step of the way. His dedication to providing exceptional service made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

One of the most impressive aspects of working with Arpad was his generosity. At closing, he gave us 1% of his fee back in closing charges, which was a pleasant and unexpected surprise. This gesture speaks volumes about his commitment to his clients' satisfaction and his integrity as a professional.

Although we had heard great things about Arpad, he exceeded even our highest expectations. His reputation is well-deserved, but our experience proved that he is even better than we had imagined.

For anyone looking for a real estate agent who is thorough, knowledgeable, and committed to providing exceptional customer service, we strongly recommend Arpad. He is a true professional who goes above and beyond for his clients, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome of our real estate journey. Thank you, Arpad!“

“We had a phenomenal experience buying our home with Erika, so there was no question whom we’d call to sell our condo. Despite a tough market and tight timeline, Erika made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and incredibly successful. She suggested smart updates to boost the condo’s value, personally oversaw a cost-efficient remodel, and transformed the condo into a luxuriously styled modern haven. Thanks to Erika's unmatched negotiating skills and exceptional communication, the condo sold in just 5 days for more than we expected. She even got the title company to cut their fee in half after they made a mistake. Simply put, Erika is the best. She is sharp, caring, tenacious, and is truly on your side. We are absolutely delighted with Erika and would work with her again in a heartbeat. We are beyond grateful to have her in our lives.“

“Laura did an amazing job finding a house in Cupertino in one day after flying into the Bay Area. Her preparation, professionalism, and incredible service was first class even before we arrived. I highly recommend Laura for anyone and will use her again!“

“I highly recommend Rob and his partner Dan. I worked with them from out of state, selling my late aunt’s property in Menlo Park. They thoughtfully walked through what needed to be done, quickly and diligently executed on the plan, and always aimed to get the best price possible. Overall they were great to work with, incredibly competent, and I was very happy with the experience.“

“Phil and Stella were phenomenal. They had our back every step of the way. We were in the process of moving out of state, so we needed them to manage this sale, top to bottom, and they did. We never for a moment worried about anything. They guided us through every decision, and reminded us about due dates, to ensure nothing was missed. The open houses went perfectly, andwe received mutliple offers over asking. Thank you Phil and Stella!“

“I've known Mehdi since 2018 when I got a call from him from Keller Williams Realty when I was casually looking at homes. Since then up until 2021, Mehdi has been the most patient realtor you can ask for. He was always available to show a home even though I hadn't placed an offer for years (or even got a pre-qualification letter). One of his best traits is his patience. He was never pushy and respected my partner's and my opinions, never once implying that he knew better or that we were wrong to want to place a certain offer despite us being first time homebuyers.In August 2020, an offer we made on a Santa Clara townhome was accepted. This home was a deal because it was priced at $120,000 below the market price because the home had remodels done without permits. But, Mehdi put in $40,000 of his own money to help the seller get the permits before we closed. He was 100% reimbursed for this at the time of close. Eventually, with Mehdi's peaceful negotiation between all parties, we got a 3b3b townhome at a great location in Santa Clara at $120,000 below the market price (compared to 3 similar homes sold in the same complex after our offer was accepted), we got $40,000 worth of repairs for a final passed city permit, $2500 worth of termite repairs and an additional $10,000 in the escrow account from the seller to update the balcony's wooden floor and rails. Apart from the city permits, unfortunately, the sellers' grant deed went missing which made it difficult for us to get title insurance. Mehdi found us a new escrow company and eventually, title insurance with First American Title Company. Through the 6 months till we closed, Mehdi not only put his money on the line, he navigated all the tense conversations between the seller, the bank, the city, many, many different contractors, architects and tradespeople all while he tried to get the best outcome for both us and the seller. He is a decent, honest and integrous agent. Although we feel like we got the best possible outcome finally, we saw that he never took advantage of any of the other parties and tried to help the seller and even our loan agent at Wells Fargo. There were numerous instances when Mehdi stepped up to do what the seller's agent was supposed to do, staying up nights and working weekends to close quickly. Thanks to his experience and contacts, there were contractors of all different trades who were willing to come in for Mehdi even at 10 pm to get any construction updates for the city permit done on short notice. We rarely had to struggle to find someone who would fix or inspect something before the city inspections. Eventually we got a great home in a beautiful complex, title insurance, city-approved remodels and a brand new balcony. Thanks to Mehdi, our experience buying a home in the Bay area has not been stressful or competitive like the experience of most other buyers in the Bay area. We are grateful to own a like-new home bought much below market price with a kind, persistent buyer's agent. We highly recommend Mehdi Safipour if you're looking to buy a home in the Bay area. He won't give up on you or the home you want to buy even when everything that can go wrong does.“

“Adam did an amazing job in helping us purchase our first home in Morgan Hill. Adam was super responsive from beginning to end, kept us in the loop every step of the way, and helped guide us through the entire process from searching for our home to closing. He also has a ton of great knowledge about the area and housing market which helped tremendously. We are so glad we worked with him and would highly recommend! Thank you Adam!“

“We are so grateful we enlisted John Jenkins to sell our house in Alviso. We were not local to the area and had to rely on John’s team (especially Connie!) to handle details and oversight that were not customary. John gave us pragmatic advice on how to get the biggest bang for our buck and performed a detailed analysis to set the right price in a shifting market. John is an authentic and pro-active communicator- we knew at every moment what was happening. He has extensive knowledge of the market, as well as savvy negotiating skills. We highly recommend John to anyone seeking assistance with the sale of their home.“

“I had the pleasure of meeting Pat Kapowich in Sunnyvale during unpleasant circumstances. My beloved uncle had passed away after a long and productive life. I travelled to his home in Sunnyvale to do what I could to help my cousin with clearing his home and dealing with his estate. This proved to be a daunting task with only 3 "senior citizens" of the family available. When I arrived I was introduced to Pat who I found to be a very cordial and pleasant man. He was diving headlong into helping with all the tasks we had in front of us. At first I assumed he was a friendly neighbor or hired help. He was lifting, carrying and hauling away things for us. A real hard worker in my eyes. Shortly, I found out that he was a local realtor that was to assist in the sale of the home. Now I have met many realtors and have never seen one get dirty and dusty and making available his own van to help with the cleanup. Not only did he help immensely with the physical work, he was invaluable in navigating the many twists and turns of settling an estate and preparations for sale of a home. In the 3 days that I was present he had contractors, inspectors and appraiser's all lined up and ready to go. All of this was well above and beyond what a normal realtor would have done. He was kind, respectful and an excellent guide to the family's situation and interests. He was not interested in being pushy for the quick sale of a valuable property, but a methodical, sincere advocate for the family. In today's world of the "fast buck" he was truly a breath of fresh air! I left my cousin in his capable hands knowing that he definitely had her best interests at heart. Lastly, I went away feeling that I had made a new friend. You just don't find this kind of businessman anywhere, anymore.!! I would with all of my heart proudly recommend Pat Kapowich to anyone in our situation or looking to sell a property. He will be your man for the job.David Springstun, Arizona“

“Jong and Claudia did a great job help us to buy a house, they were patient, not pushing us to go with higher bid, helped us on the disclosures, negotiated multiple times with the sellers...Finally we got a house we love with a reasonable price. Jong and Claudia created a detailed checklist help us through each steps of moving in and getting everything ready in our new home...“

“What an amazing experience working with Michael. It could not have gone any better. He made the entire process from start to finish as painless and stress free as possible. To anyone who has sold a house before, you know there are a lot of moving parts to get the house ready to sell. It is easy to overlook something or miss something that would cause a delay to getting the house listed. Mike just nailed everything. In fact he ended spot on if not a little ahead of the schedule he presented.I very much appreciated that he is very careful and thoughtful with expenses, he did not recommended anything that he did not think would add value to the house. He was very conscious about keeping any expense within reasonable limits and there was not anything he recommended changing that did not make total sense.One the best things about Michael is constant communication, I never felt like I did not know what was going on throughout the process from getting the house ready to sell, to the open houses to accepting offer day.The house did sell for way over asking and way over what we thought it would sell for. Michael did a great job during the negotiation process with the buyers.Do yourself a favor if you are looking for a realtor hire Michael, you will not be disappointed.“

“Deb is the best agent ever. She worked with us and found us the perfect home in the best neighborhood. She was honest and had our best interests in mind. If you are looking to buy or sell, she is right person !“
