What Clients Say About Laxmi

Z 5.0 ★  104 Reviews on Zillow Verified by Zillow · All reviews are from real clients

★★★★★

If you are looking for the best real estate agent in Milpitas, look no further. Laxmi's deep knowledge of the market was obvious from day one. She didn't just list our house… SOLD at TOP PRICE. Laxmi strategically positioned it to get multiple offers, eventually selling it at the highest price in our neighborhood. Even with the current interest rates, she made sure we stayed competitive and closed way above list price!

Sold our home with TOP REALTOR LAXMI! Even in a slow market, she got us $70,000 over asking! She has a deep pool of buyers and can even generate offers while a home is still 'Coming Soon.' Her confidence and reputation for selling properties 'as-is' at top dollar truly set her apart.

Laxmi is a strategic powerhouse! She strategically countered at a lower price and used her professional reputation to get our offer accepted before the listing agent could even set a formal offer deadline. She insisted on a 2-day inspection contingency to ensure we were protected from any new findings. If you want a buyer's agent who fights for your interests, Laxmi is the best.

Laxmi sold our Fremont condo in a slow market. In just two weeks, we received a great offer.

Laxmi handled the sale of my grandmother's house in San Bruno. The house was in a complex Trust, and Laxmi was extremely helpful even prior to officially representing us.
