Ghodsi was extremely professional, knowledgeable, hard-working, and went the extra mile every step of the way to ensure we found the perfect home that not only exceeded all of our expectations, but was also within our price target (which is nearly impossible in this market!). I must admit I am a very particular man, so to meet all my requirements (especially for a large purchase like this) is a monumental task...it took a super agent to achieve this feat, and Ghodsi was just that. From understanding our goals, to answering all of our detailed questions and going through each house with a fine toothed comb, and finally negotiating a killer deal, Ghodsi was our courageous guide throughout our journey. We couldn't have found our dream home without her. Thanks Ghodsi!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Ghodsi. As a first time home buyer the process can be intimidating, but Ghodsi's expertise and personable approach put me at ease. I was floored that she took the time to spend 3 hours with me going over the offer contract line by line. She took this care with every one of our interactions, provided helpful advice throughout the process, and patiently followed-up with me on the numerous document signatures and requirements. What's incredible is that she did all this without being my primary realtor as she was covering for her colleague on a trip abroad. Ghodsi made me feel like I was her priority and her support extends beyond closing with thoughtful follow-up and referrals.
I am a first time home buyer who was very intimidated by the tough Silicon Valley real estate market. I am so glad Ghodsi was my agent! Ghodsi was amazingly patient and helpful through my 6 month home buying experience. She was there to guide me through the process of looking at homes and making offers. Any questions I had were answered quickly and thoroughly and she took the time to explain all the little details about home buying that would've gone over my head! Her exceptional customer service skills truly made me feel like I was her only client. Ghodsi would always check in with me to make sure I knew what was going on with my offers. Knowing that I was purchasing a house as a single woman, she also made sure to screen the listings for locations that were more safe and appropriate for me. She is easy to talk to, honest, and not pushy. Whenever I felt conflicted about an offer, she would provide me with the information I needed to make a decision but she wouldn't push me to decide one way or the other; which was very appreciated as home buying is quite stressful! To sum it all up, if you're looking for an agent, definitely get in touch with Ghodsi. She made this intimidating home buying process very easy for me and I can't say enough good things about her!
Ghodsi was a fantastic agent, home buyer from different country everything looks different here but she made our life much easier. She was proactive, responsive , patient and understood all our needs. I would definitely recommend her to all my friends. Thumps up for her.
We are very happy to have Ghodsi as our agent. She is very insightful and patient listener. She first understands what exactly we want in a home and starts connecting you to your home from there. She gives us timely advice with her expertise and becomes a partner in our journey of home search and buying. She adds her personal touch in all the steps of home buying and is there with us throughout the process and beyond. We are glad we have you Ghodsi, thank you very much for making our experience of getting to our home a pleasant one.
I cannot put into words how thankful my wife and I were to have worked with Ghodsi Emambakhsh on helping us find (and close on!) our very first home here in Bay Area/ Mountain view.
From the very beginning, she was just on top of EVERYTHING. We had an initial sit down to talk about neighborhoods, our budget, etc. and she worked to put together a plan that felt so us, so personalized and yet so professional. She sourced homes for us to check out and it wasn't uncommon to me to receive emails from her frequently with updates or just checking in. She was also very much in tune with what our priorities were when looking for our home. We are having a baby soon and already thinking about school districts is something she was quick to suggest, being a dedicated mom herself.
She is very knowledgeable about the real estate market which is not surprising given that she has been doing this for 20 ? years. She is very kind, fair, honest, always available ( no matter when, where or why) and guided us in the right direction. She never got tiered of thousand of questions that we asked. She would go out of her way to help us with great recommendation which proved to be invaluable. Even after closing the house, her valuable ideas about remodeling and providing us her resources ( contractor, plumber, … ) was something that I can never pay back.
I have seen people who would go out of their way to pull me aside and tell me how much they love working with Ghodsi. How often can you say that about your real estate agent?
On top of everything else, Ghodsi guided us through the entire process just like a compassionate mom. Besides her sharp professionalism and attention to detail, she brought personality, humor to every single day, something that two nervous first-time buyers appreciated so much. I guess it goes without saying, but Ghodsi will be our agent of choice for all of our future real estate endeavors.
Cannot. Recommend. Her. Enough
Ghodsi patiently handheld me when buying my first house in the tough 2015 Silicon Valley market. A co-worker referred her, stressing her patience and non-pushy behavior. This was very important to me, because I wasn't even sure I would really end up buying a house, so I didn't want anybody breathing down my neck pushing me to. Ghodsi will make you aware of the competitiveness of your offer, but she will never push you to make an offer or increase it beyond what you are comfortable with. I remember when we first met and I asked whether I needed to sign any kind of exclusivity agreement with her, to which, in her usual candid way, replied "I don't do exclusivity agreements, I hope that if my services are of use to you, you will decide to go with me as agent". For two months she kept me updated with new homes, brought me over when there was an agent's tour and arranged private ones (much more relaxed than going to crowded open houses). During that time we made four offers and, when I had already lost hope on the fourth one, her responsiveness, professionalism and the close relationship she develops with the selling agents, opened a window that we took advantage of. The whole time I felt like I was her only client, she's always available and responsive. She is very diligent in all parts of her work, updates, providing "comps", her detailed visual inspections and keeping track of all the steps of the process. Her contacts are also priceless, her preferred lender was also a pleasure to work with and made the whole process swift, smooth and painless.
Ghodsi worked very hard for me, made appropriate suggestions as to how the property should be prepared, marketed, and sold. Her guidance got top dollar for my neighborhood and I could not be happier.
Buying a home (especially for the first time) can be a difficult venture. That said, Ghodsi was extremely helpful during this whole process. Her knowledge of the real estate market combined with her experience made her an invaluable resource. The entire process — from narrowing down what I was looking for in a property all the way to closing — was made much simpler with her help. Ghodsi took her time to explain (quite patiently, in my case!) such things as what sellers look for in an offer and the nuances of the real estate market in the area. She was very approachable in a way that made it seem as though I was her only client. She was prompt and professional throughout, and was always on the ball when there were unexpected issues.
Ghodsi is the perfect real estate agent if you are looking to buy a house in SF Bay Area. She is a super responsive, thoughtful, and professional. We were so happy that we found the house we wanted, and it didn't happen without Ghodsi's assistance. Thank you, Ghodsi!
My husband and I were first time home buyers and Ghodsi was tremendously helpful in navigating this very competitive market. She was very patient, very communicative and never pushy. She was always prompt in response and took the time to provide advice and answer questions (and we had plenty). She was very on top of all the due dates and details that were easily overlooked. We very much felt Ghodsi took us under her wings and took care of us like we were her own children. We would definitely recommend her to our friends and family.
