"We had been passively looking at homes for a month or two prior but without a clear idea about our goals at the time. We were looking at homes both with an eye on upgrading our current home and at other times as a potential investment. We didn’t have a realtor at the time. At one such open house we met Jay. He was helping a colleague to show a home. We had a pleasant conversation and in a follow-up meeting we agreed to work together.
Jay made a note of our preferences in terms of neighborhoods, schools, home type, price range and other criteria, and his friendly and easy to work style put us at ease. He later helped us develop clarity in our goals in terms of whether our priority was a dream home upgrade (No) vs an investment property (Yes).
This focus was essential for us to make steady progress. Subsequently, Jay helped us quickly converge on homes we liked by regularly showing us the inventory of potentially matches to review through a customized feed. We would shortlist properties to visit each week, some iindependently and some with Jay. This would be followed by post-visit feedback that included what we liked or disliked to help further tighten the criteria. Our weekly check-in meetings also helped to sharpen ideas, offer-related discussions and generally keep us on a path to progress. When we made offers (twice), Jay ensured we had a smooth process and signing experience and provided comparables for us to review/debate prior. We got a winning bid on our second offer once we had a correctly calibrated bid.
Even as we had started our home search Jay had provided us a great reference for a lender. We worked with the lender to get a competitive mortgage rate. The awesome thing about our lender was that he helped us get pre-approved for a fully underwritten loan offer. This strengthened our bid and once we had the offer in the bag it helped us close in just two weeks. We also had a smooth experience working with the title company Jay had suggested. Superb orchestration. Perfect execution. Quick closure. Start to finish in two months.
In summary, I want to note that Jay is a knowledgeable real estate professional who helps you stay goal-oriented and on track. He is friendly, easy to work with and accommodating of your needs and schedules. Jay ensured we were fully satisfied with the outcome and got the home we were looking for. He is the ultimate professional. Based on my family’s home buying experience, I would highly recommend Jay Chodagam for your Bay Area real estate needs

"I can't recommend Jay highly enough! As a first-time homebuyer new to the Bay Area, I was anxious about the process, but Jay made everything easier. He explained every step, alleviating my concerns. Jay's knowledge of the Bay Area market guided me through numerous open houses, helping me focus on key factors, especially my specific requirements for a safe and modern place. After several months, I found a wonderful condo in Santa Clara that I absolutely love! What stood out most was Jay’s unwavering support. He was there before I made an offer, during the bidding stage, and even after the purchase. I’m thrilled with the deal Jay negotiated for me in this highly competitive Silicon Valley market. If you're looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable realtor, Jay is the one to go to. I recommend him to anyone searching for their dream home! — KK, Google.

"When diving headfirst into the whirlwind of Silicon Valley's housing market, I was taking the lead in our home search and needed someone I could trust implicitly. Jay Chodagam exceeded all our expectations. Leading such a pivotal journey, I sought someone who'd be not only a REALTOR® but a guide, a confidant, and a true ally. Jay was all that and so much more. His unwavering professionalism, acute knowledge of the Bay Area's real estate nuances, and instantaneous responsiveness were a boon. I was amazed to discover that even during his overseas vacation, Jay was just a call or message away. This is dedication at its finest. Our home-buying story came with its challenges - a race against the clock with just two weeks to finalize everything. Many said it couldn't be done, especially in a market as aggressive as ours. But Jay, with his deft negotiation skills and vast network, championed our cause, securing not only an acceptance of our offer but ensuring a smooth closing process with all parties involved. Having spearheaded our search, I felt a deep sense of responsibility. Jay's expertise and proactive methodology made it evident that we were in the best hands possible. Every hurdle was met with a solution, every concern with reassurance. Would I endorse Jay Chodagam to my inner circle? Absolutely.

"Navigating the intricate maze of Silicon Valley's real estate market requires a special kind of expert, and Jay Chodagam is that expert. From the moment we embarked on our home-buying journey, Jay's professionalism, market acumen, and impeccable responsiveness stood out. It's not just about answering calls or replying to emails promptly; Jay was there for us even when vacationing abroad! That's commitment. Speaking of commitment, we had a tight deadline to meet - a mere two weeks to close. In most scenarios, this would be a nerve-wracking, if not impossible feat, especially in the highly competitive Bay Area. But with Jay's unparalleled negotiation skills, not only did he get our offer accepted swiftly but also ensured that the entire process, from liaising with sellers to coordinating with the loan and title companies, went off without a hitch. Closing a deal in two weeks? Unheard of, yet Jay made it happen for us. Jay's deep understanding of the local market dynamics, combined with his proactive approach, made us feel like we were in safe hands throughout. His dedication was evident in every interaction, making the often daunting task of buying a home feel seamless and even enjoyable. In conclusion, would I recommend Jay Chodagam to friends and family? Without a doubt. His exceptional service, domain expertise, and genuine care for his clients are unparalleled. If you're on the hunt for a property in the Bay Area, look no further. Jay's your guy!. --Ratinder A
