I recently had the pleasure working with Ramesh who is very knowledgeable about the market, highly responsive to questions and needs, professional in negotiation, amazing as well as professional at communication. I truly enjoyed the… escrow process and certainly look forward to working with him again in the future!

Sally Xiao, Saratoga

Ramesh recently sold our house in San Jose. He was a consummate professional and a real pleasure to work with! He quickly assessed the property and recommended repairs/work that would help sell the house without going overboard. He even helped us donate a piano to a deserving family. He adeptly handled all aspects of the sale including; sourcing contractors, inspections, disclosures, all the marketing, buyer vetting and negotiations. We agreed with all of his recommendations and the house was sold quickly and with no drama. We highly recommend Ramesh to any real estate buyers or sellers!

Brenda P, San Jose

Without question you are a true professional that takes care of all of the needs of your clients.

Congrats to you for an awesome journey into the selling of my five properties.  Stay safe and the
very best.

Dr. Leonard Cook - Los Altos, CA

Ramesh, we lived in our Cupertino home for 17 years. Leaving it was not easy. So much left behind as the family grew and moved on. Remodeling was not simple because I wanted to give it at its best. Fortunately YOU had all the right people to work on it. Most of all YOU were there to monitor and track everything... dates and progress of the work must come together as planned because we were short of time. I was already working far from home then. It felt like a thorn was pulled out of my being. We were very successful. We were very content with the result. You helped me prepare and be ready to give it up. I was very happy. 

Then came the purchase on a new home in a new place. Since this will most likely be our retirement home, we have all the specifications embracing the ambiance for "golden years" . 

It was tough because we do not know the place very well and no friends who actually live in the city we chose. Through your company I obtained a weekly list of all houses for open homes and for sale in the city and nearby communities. It made my search easy and organized. Of course I also used the internet. 

This last purchase through no fault of our party was the toughest we have encountered. When we sold our house you emphasized to declare everything that i know, even though it may seem trivial as it may be important for the buyer. If only the seller did their part this way, it would have been a breeze. You were there for us. You drove this far and stayed all day for the complete inspection of the house; listening with us to the detailed findings of the inspector. You coached us how to take care of the problems from the inspection. When trouble came on the last minute, you were there all the way. It took days to settle the problem. You sought help from your company day and night to insure our safety with the deal. Relentlessly your worked. You did not falter or succumb until we got what we wanted and what was rightfully for us. I can't imagine if your were not there, if it was someone else. 

I thank God for guiding us in choosing you. 
Thank you Anita for allowing Ramesh to give all the time to visit and discuss with us day or night whenever we can come home to Cupertino. Thank you for sharing the comfort of your home during those times. 

So I recommended you to my sister and you sold her house. Then she recommended you to her son and he bought a house. You are not just a friend to clients. You are a family too because you do care. I know we can trust you. Nothing can beat that.

Grace Ang, MD - Cupertino

First let me start by stating this was my first time selling a home and buying a home at the same time. It can be an extremely stressful and daunting experience. I interviewed 7 agents and Ramesh stood out instantly. Where do I start. First, he's extremely pleasant with a calm demeanor. He walked through every stage of the process and really made sure I understood all of the steps from beginning to end. Each time during his initial presentation he would stop to see if I had any questions, and truly didn't leave a detail out. So many of the other agents just drop off their fancy book and don't even take the time to crack it open to explain the data and details behind the sale. He really made me feel like I was in good hands and that he wanted only the best for me. He was always so prompt with replies whether it was via text, e-mail, or phone. He made me feel like I was his top priority. He really has his finger on the pulse when it comes to the market, your potential buyers and the best way to get top dollar. He walked me through steps before they happened, so nothing was ever a surprise. He also has a great team. From his assistant Glendora who was always on top of her game, to his inspectors and escrow offer. I was guided through each step of the process with such ease and professionalism across the board. Even after the sale he checked in multiple times to see how I was doing, and even let me know of a package that had been lost in transport for 2 months and finally was delivered to my old home. I was able to pick it up at his house and we spent some time catching up. Again, making me feel like he was more of a friend than an agent. I don't anticipate ever selling again, but I would most definitely refer him to anyone and everyone who is looking to sell or buy a home. Who knows, if I win the lottery, I'll be buying up lots of homes, and Ramesh will definitely be my agent of choice.

P. Campbell - Sunnyvale

Ramesh helped us buy our first house in a seller's market. He always made it a point to spend the time to answer every question we had and walked us through the entire process in a detailed manner, without making you feel rushed. At the end of the day, we are happy that our first home buying experience was smooth and professionally managed by Ramesh!

We got our first home in USA with the help of Ramesh Rao in 1994. Ramesh understood our requirements, budget and other considerations and showed us a few homes in Cupertino and Sunnyvale area. As we dealt with him, both I and my wife found him honest, straight forward and always giving priority to our requirements. Our children became friendly with him too. In a relatively short period, we zeroed in on the house. Ramesh helped us close the deal, getting us finance and guided through the paperwork. We happily lived in that house for 17 years and a few years back sold it three times over its cost. 

Nandita and Prabhath, Milpitas, CA

Ramesh is a very detail oriented, extremely professional and caring Realtor. I have worked with him and his clients and consider him one of the Best!

He remains humble and trustworthy. He helps in anyway he can at anytime. Most recently he helped me find someone to sell my house which is far from his territory.

Melody Russell Realtor

Ramesh and I knew each other from us working at the same tech company years back. I used to receive his periodic emails on real estate issues which were incredibly valuable. Recently we decided to move to the Bay Area and I decided to reach out to Ramesh. That was the best decision I made. Ramesh really is a down to earth and going out of the way to help you person. A genuine and transparent person that during this process became a lot closer to him. My wife also really liked him and grew to trust him to a very high comfort level. I wish him the very best and look forward to seeing him and his family regularly!

Sunil Bharitkar, Scotts Valley, CA

Ramesh is a trail Blazer. He is NOT the run-of-the-mill realtor. He is thorough, systematic and methodical. His biggest attributes are perseverance and diligence to get his clients the best deal and bring them over the finish line.  

We engaged with Ramesh to secure our dream home. Ramesh had multiple meetings to understand our situation and provide insights and guidance. He is NOT pushy. He tailor-made scouts on MLS and also off-market properties because of his position at Coldwell Bankers and his vast network.  

When we found the home we liked, he represented us so well that it resonated and connected with the seller-side. He prepared letters and made a case for why we should be considered seriously. Our offer was on the low side but he managed to hold the fort by connecting with the sellers on a personal level while working with us on what best could be done to win the deal. I would call this a diving catch against all odds and is a testament to his commitment and determination to win for his clients. 

Ramesh has an amazing style and a finesse that is impressive. He is soft and gentle yet persistent and will hold your back. The actual work of a realtor happens behind-the-scene and all the ground work, preparation and networking. 

We are very grateful to Ramesh and wish him the best. We have NO hesitation to refer him along and will continue to do so. Thanks Ramesh!!!

Anonymous. Happy home owner

Ramesh was very helpful and made the selling of my property extremely fast and easy. He referred me to many experts to help me make my home ready for sale. He was always available if I had any questions and gave me great suggestions.

Michael Newman. Retired , Sunnyvale, CA

We had the pleasure of having Ramesh as our realtor. Ramesh sold our house at an excellent price and helped us purchase our dream house at a reasonable price. Ramesh worked with us patiently over a period of months and has excellent ideas on the local market and has excellent contact with other agents in the Saratoga, Cupertino area. Ramesh made the whole process of selling and purchasing the house smooth in spite of the pandemic and the bay area housing market frenzy. Ramesh guided us through the bidding process and our first bid was accepted by the seller. I would strongly recommend Ramesh due to his honesty, knowledge of the local housing market, patience, and his supporting staff.

Raja Banerjea, Saratoga

We selected Ramesh as our listing agent and were completely happy with his professionalism and personal integrity. His pulse of the market is spot on and got is into the contract within days of our listing and with an offer above our listing price. His attention to every detail and marketing of the property was of the highest caliber. From staging to professional photography to video and print advertising, Ramesh brought in the very best vendors for a successful sale. We recommend him as an excellent agent that will guide you throughout the sales process.

James Hulsey, Saratoga, CA

We have been working with Ramesh for the past two years. He is available any time of the day for consultation. He guided us through each step of the process and has lot of patience to answer our unlimited number of questions. After searching dozens of homes, we finally bought a very nice home through Ramesh. He spent a great deal of time with us during this entire process. He explained in detail pros and cons of every house which helped us make our decision easy. During these two years, he was not only our agent but became our family friend. He has a great connection with mortgage lenders, escrow company, building contractors and many more. Hence I agree with the above reviewers, he is a "go-to" person for all our housing needs. Not only that, he gives great advice about very important life decisions. Without him, it is difficult to imagine if we could go through this process. Thank you Ramesh for all the help you have done. We look forward to work with you for our future endeavors as well.

Kalyan and Swathi - Sunnyvale

We were so fortunate to have found Ramesh Rao to help us buy our home in Cupertino, CA. He was a joy to work with - pleasant, explained clearly what was going on and is extremely knowledgeable about the local market. Particularly during this COVID Pandemic, where there is uncertainty everywhere, Ramesh ensured that we felt comfortable all throughout the process. As our Realtor, Ramesh helped find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. He was patient and accommodated all our questions and requests to visit the properties and worked with us in making reasonable offers that stood out. He spent time to understand our needs as working parents of two very young kids who want everything closeby, and in every house we visited called out what works for us and what doesn't. In short, he was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Ramesh was that he was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than he was on closing a deal. We would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a house in the Bay Area.

Praveen and Prathyusha - Cupertino

I heard that Ramesh is back recently as a full time Realter. Good for him and the community. I have no reservations in recommending Ramesh to my family and friends and to anybody in the South Bay community.

Sanjay Mathur, Cupertino, CA

Ramesh has been my realtor for the past 24 years and I will strongly recommend him to anyone who is interested in any real estate transaction.

Ramesh is very balanced in his opinion and conducts research to a great depth prior to giving any opinion. He is very accessible and has vast knowledge in the area of real estate. It has been a pleasure to work with Ramesh and his services will prove to be an asset for anyone interested in performing a real estate transaction

He is very helpful and is always there to answer any questions I may have on all these topics.  

He follows up with all communication in a timely manner and is extremely dependable.

Ilya Avrekh Homeowner, West San Jose

Ramesh helped us in the process while we were looking to buy our first home. He is very professional, well-informed about real-estate market and effective.

We highly recommend him to anyone looking out to buy a house.

Akshay & Supriya, San Jose, CA

Ramesh is an excellent agent. He got me all the contact information that I needed the very first day the borrower went into contract. Ramesh didn't push but stayed in close contact with me as needed. Our borrower's loan closed on the scheduled close of escrow date without any issues. It was a pleasure to work with Ramesh and I highly recommend him as a realtor.

Anatoly Shteynberg PhD, San Jose, CA

Ramesh was introduced to us by an uncle, who Ramesh had assisted in buying a home in the 90s. 
My wife and I were first time home buyers and knew very little about the home buying process. We had very vaguely defined parameters in terms of the kind of homes or even the neighborhoods we were interested in.. 
Ramesh was extremely professional and honest throughout the process. Ramesh is very knowledgeable and empowered us to make decisions confidently. 

He accompanies us to open homes for several months and helped us narrow our search criteria.The close relationships that he has with multiple lenders also helped tremendously. 

If you are looking for someone, who has your best interests at heart and can think from your perspective, look no further. 

In the 6 months that it took for us to find our dream home, Ramesh has become a very close and trusted friend to my wife and me. 
Thank you for everything!

Siddharth Sakthidharan Software Engineer, Fremont, CA

Ramesh helped us purchase our first home in the Bay Area and we cannot imagine having gone through this process with anyone else. We were first time home buyers and knew very little about the process itself. Ramesh guided us throughout, patiently answering all questions, helping & enabling us make the right decision each step along the way. In addition to the best-in-class service overall, there were two things about Ramesh's service that really stood out for us: 1. He accompanied us to all open home viewings, and guided us through all pros and cons that one should take into account. His eye for detail, call outs on practical things to watch out for, tactical advice on prioritizing must haves vs. trade-offs was very valuable. It helped us tremendously in building our confidence to make decisions while having the peace of mind that someone has our back on this! 2. Another aspect of Ramesh's service was his great professional network/ecosystem that helped us wade through all the financial aspects so smoothly. Big shout out to Ramesh, and Sue Baker & team at Princeton Capital that made this daunting and overwhelming process so smooth for us. Thank you for helping us buy our first home, and your continued support to help make sure everything goes smoothly even after closing.

Shubha & Pratyush Buyer - San Jose, CA

Ramesh Rao is a great Real Estate Buyer, Customer Representative and a great negotiator. He is very sincere and conscientious. He helps to find great deals and helps his customers immensely. He looks out for the welfare of his customers by providing knowledge that helps them. He recommends properties that meet his customers' needs, and provides options on what they choose to optimize/save on their taxes. He has been especially helpful to the seniors in the community in recommending how they can downsize and benefit from many tax provisions. I love to work with him.

Prakash Bettadapur. President, Campbell, CA

Working with Ramesh made the house buying process very simple and easy for us. This was our first home purchase and Ramesh made sure to explain us the relevant details that we needed to know to make sure we were making an informed decision. He helped us identify the big things we should look for in home purchase while ignore the small things that can be updated / changed easily without much expense. Another important aspect is that Ramesh did not just help us with home search but also explained the entire process of securing a mortgage, escrow, etc and we knew what to expect throughout the process of closing the home. He also worked with our banker and escrow team to minimize work from our end as much as possible. We highly recommend working with him. He comes with great experience and contacts in the bay area and there were multiple times when seller agents were looking forward to working with him (we did not close on those homes as they did not work for us, but it was good to know his reputation in the industry). Overall, a great realtor to work with.
