We were extremely grateful to work with Ruby to purchase our first home. The amount of effort and time she put into walking my husband and I through the process is unbelievable. From the first day that we met, she spent her entire evening walking us through the “big picture.” From there on out, she was always available to provide us with the information that we needed (or didn’t need, but needed for the sake of our sanity) – every decision we made, small or big, mattered to her. Not only did we feel like we had all the information we needed to make our decisions, but we also felt like we were in good hands at all times. Especially because, as first-time buyers, we didn’t know all of the right questions we should be asking (or do’s and don’ts, for example) but Ruby would proactively provide this information, which made us feel like we were walking through this process with our eyes wide o…
We were extremely grateful to work with Ruby to purchase our first home. The amount of effort and time she put into walking my husband and I through the process is unbelievable.

Not only did we feel like we had all the information we needed to make our decisions, but we also felt like we were in good hands at all times. Especially because, as first-time buyers, we didn’t know all of the right questions we should be asking (or do’s and don’ts, for example) but Ruby would proactively provide this information, which made us feel like we were walking through this process with our eyes wide open. Obviously, making an informed decision is the most important part of buying a home. But personally, as being “emotionally” invested as well in buying a home, having someone who properly set, managed, and came through with expectations was such a lifesaver and made us feel beyond at ease throughout the entire process. As first-time home buyers, we were not sure what to expect, what was good or bad, etc., and Ruby was always so candid and provided her own perspective of different aspects of each home that she thought would be relevant to our decision-making. We truly appreciated Ruby’s input and relied on it heavily. This is a valuable quality to have as a service provider and not everyone has it, but, in my experience, it is crucial to keep those around that do. It’s easy to push paper and get the signatures, but Ruby is really focused on making sure people are satisfied through the process and with the outcome. Again, for a first-time home buyer or even if it’s your third or fourth run-around, this process is extremely stressful. Yes, there are a number of things that people can do to make it easier. But as you can see, based on the above, Ruby went above and beyond (as I’m positive she does with all of her clients) and truly made us feel like we had a confidant or partner throughout. My husband and I are one of the first of our friend group to buy a house, so there were no – “well what do you think” talks – except with Ruby. And that’s not in her job description, and it truly makes me consider Ruby not just an agent, but a friend. Overall, I would strongly recommend Ruby to anyone looking to buy or sell a home - I would trust her with my eyes closed and her attention to detail and level of time and dedication to her clients are outstanding. We can’t thank Ruby enough and will definitely be using her in the future.
Sohrab is amazing! Period. We worked with multiple agents prior to being introduced to Sohrab and he made a considerable difference to our purchase strategy. Despite a very competitive market with low inventory during the middle of a pandemic, Sohrab kept us pointed in the right direction to ultimately help us get the house we wanted on our first offer. In our first interview, his extensive questioning of our housing preferences, requirements, and nice-to-haves made us feel comfortable trusting in his experience right off the bat. It was clear that he understood what elements were important to us. He was always reachable and sent out any signature work the prior night or evening (highly appreciate this). When we found the house we wanted to purchase, he walked us through several strategies to build an offer we felt comfortable with. Even when competing with multiple other offers, he iden…

It was clear that he understood what elements were important to us. He was always reachable and sent out any signature work the prior night or evening (highly appreciate this). When we found the house we wanted to purchase, he walked us through several strategies to build an offer we felt comfortable with. Even when competing with multiple other offers, he identified potential options that allowed us to ultimately have our offer selected. His expertise in the bid process was an immense relief to us and we were glad that we did not have to bid on multiple homes in this market. After our offer was accepted, he was able to help us negotiate several clauses, constantly working in the background with the other REALTOR to keep things moving. He kept us focused so we met every deadline and did not hold anything up on our end. Sohrab's greatest strength lies in his ability to accurately estimate the appraisal value of the house. Sohrab also went to great lengths to ensure the appraiser was informed about his research about the property. This is not something you run into often. Sohrab was also instrumental in helping us find the right lender. End result, we got the best rate that 6 other lenders could not match or beat; and we did not have to shell a single penny outside of our closing costs. After our purchase, he made sure to follow up with us to see if everything was going well. Overall, we were very happy with the home we selected and believe that Sohrab was essential in getting us over the finish line. We would highly recommend Sohrab as a Realtor®️ and appreciated everything he did to help us get our home!
Although 2021 was a ridiculously tough year for buyers in the Bay Area housing market, our dream came true with Sohrab's expertise, diligence, and dedication! We had been watching in the region for a couple of years and it was our first offer made when this dream home came to the market. We were pretty sure it would take another long wait for a similar home to become available; we simply couldn't afford a miss. Having Sohrab as our agent turned out to be the determining factor in closing the deal. Sohrab is super knowledgeable and he provided us with a lot of useful data points, analysis, and insights before we came up with the offering strategy. We had a lot of questions in the process and he usually got back to us quickly, even when he was busy. What makes Sohrab an exceptional real estate professional is that he always thinks from the perspective of whom he represents, instead of simp…

We had a lot of questions in the process and he usually got back to us quickly, even when he was busy. What makes Sohrab an exceptional real estate professional is that he always thinks from the perspective of whom he represents, instead of simply driving toward transaction closes. Thanks to Sohrab's professional skills and hard work, we eventually won the bid within our budget and without being the highest one! We knew we got a great deal because we saw far fewer ideal homes nearby sold for much higher prices per square foot around the same time. We were so impressed by Sohrab and we are very happy about working with him, and we highly recommend him for your real estate needs!
To start with, Sohrab is the best real estate agent I’ve met so far. There are many good agents out there, but what makes Sohrab stand out is his knowledge of the market and the unique ability to accurately judge the pulse of the competition. Another skill he brings to the table is the agility and attention to details - In a market where the supply is very limited, as a buyer we wanted to move fast but take facts based calculated risks. Sohrab, besides sending a curated list of properties to us, does a very quick analysis of the property after we shortlist a property. Sohrab was very prompt with his responses and easily available for any questions we had (even during late hours). This was very helpful for us as both me and my wife work full-time jobs and we tend to review properties late in the evening usually after regular working hours. Sohrab helped us in strategizing each offer, prov…

Sohrab helped us in strategizing each offer, provided us with location insights and a list of pros and cons. He also went above and beyond to make sure that we are receiving all the benefits during the purchase process - be it introducing us to great lenders, working with the listing agent to take care of repairs, etc. If you’re looking to purchase a new home around bay area in such a competitive market, I would highly recommend Sohrab hands down.
