We were cooped up in an apartment during covid and looking for some extra space to exercise our gardening skills. We were on the lookout for a large backyard.

We postponed this desire for a long time and eventually decided to talk to Aruna. Her values really matched with ours. Very quickly we found a desirable property. We thought it would be great to have this as our home, but we didn't want to stretch financially. That is a mean feat if you can achieve it!

The great thing about Aruna was that she has a great team, attention to detail and decades of experience. She got the inspector, loan advisor involved early. And soon we knew whether we could afford the property and also knew the status of the foundation, attic and the property in general. She told us which parts of the home might need work on the day we saw the property itself. Her persistence and constant communication with the seller's agent on one side and the loan advisor on the other and also spending time with us explaining each and every point in the inspector's report gave us that much needed trust and relaxation in this otherwise stressful process. We had all the information needed to make a decent offer.

Because of this we could make an accurate offer quickly. And in these transactions in the Bay area timing is everything. Perhaps more important than the actual offer itself. Needless to say we sailed smoothly through the hardest part of the process. Winning the property. Even after this Aruna held our hand till we actually moved in. If there was something not quite right she made sure it was fixed. She kept the seller's agent on his toes making sure we would be comfortable moving into our new home.

We believe moving into our home should be a memorable and very exciting event. Not stressful and sad. All the credit goes to Aruna.
