Shiva Group

"Oh Elnaz from Shiva Group Compass… where do I begin? I was first introduced to Elnaz through a mutual friend. It was around the time after when my father had suddenly passed away. And I was skeptical of realtors. I had a bad taste in my mouth after another agent was extremely pushy with me just when I had told her about my father and how I wanted to look into the home buying process soon. My father had expressed to my older sister not too long before his passing that he wanted to help me purchase my first home in any way he could. My apartment lease was up soon and I knew I was ready for the next step in buying a home for myself and to fulfill my father’s wish. I put my skepticism aside and Elnaz and I first met for a buyer’s consultation. I first noticed Elnaz is an extremely genuine person… I could easily tell that she has your best interest as a buyer/seller at heart. She listened to the reason behind my home searching, what I am looking for, and what this entire process means to me. She respectfully listened and told me we can move at my pace and that we’ll find a beautiful home together. She laid out the steps on what we’d need to do get started. She also shared more about her family and I realized there was a lot of parallels between us. Sound cheesy, but I knew that night I had to work with Elnaz to purchase my first home. My home buying process was generally smooth. We looked at roughly 20 properties together. Elnaz was extremely punctual, flexible, and prompt. Professional all around. She answered every single question with honesty. She asked good questions and also kept me on track of my priorities. She dealt with the seller’s agent and everyone with utmost professionalism and respect—even when some wouldn’t do the same with her. On a cold January day, Elnaz physically cold knocked on multiple doors in the neighborhood to get find the best quote for a deck repair. And she did. And made friends while doing it! The amount of effort, love, and respect she has for her profession is absolutely unmatched. And it’s something I personally admire about Elnaz. She was really there for me throughout the entire process. Elnaz’s love and determination for finding her clients the best home possible… it’s something a blind man can see. I was able to close on a beautiful home with all of my requirements within the budget I had. I not only want to thank Elnaz for being a competent and driven realtor, but also for being a great friend and an individual. So thankful to be able to say that not only did I gain my first home, but also an amazing friend. You already know who I’d want to work with when it comes to selling :) I couldn’t recommend Elnaz and Shiva Group enough. " - Esther J.

"My family recently sold a luxury home in Marietta with Shiva Group. Our listing wasn't a slam dunk from the start, and Shiva took on the challenge heads on. We don't have enough nice things to say about our experience with her and Compass. They were professional from start to finish. They guided and navigated us thoughtfully through every significant decision we faced. They were hands-on and responsive throughout the process. They were available at all hours. We closed on the house less than 30 days after our first open house and above ask! We've bought and sold homes with other agents, and my experience with Shiva stands out above the rest. If you are looking for a team that puts their heart into a process and brings their A-game, I would look no further. We would highly recommend Shiva and her team to anyone. " - Pierce A.

"Rumor has it that buying your first home is stressful... but for me, it was possibly one of the easiest processes I’ve ever been a part of. And I owe it all to Elnaz. From patiently explaining every step of the home buying process; to booking inspections for me when I was too busy to do so; to reminding me to file for my homestead exemption months after my closing, Elnaz has truly made buying my first home seamlessly smooth. On top of that, Elnaz was my sounding board. I was buying my first home on my own. So, for all of the showings and for all of the big decisions, it was just me and Elnaz. She made sure I understood the pros and cons of each place, what the fair market value was based on the renovations (if any) and what she could use to negotiate the price down. With Elnaz by my side, I felt confident I was making the right decision. I cannot recommend her enough. " - April M.

★★★★★
"We were fortunate to have Shiva as our realtor. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. Throughout the past several months, Shiva has been there every step of the way. She has always answered every call or email no matter what time of day or night it was. Her professionalism, mentorship, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic are much respected and appreciated. We never felt that she was just trying to sell us a house, but that she was a mentor to answer my questions and help me to make the best decision for our family. " - Samira & Amir / December 2020

"As someone who has had the pleasure of working with Shiva, I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for all her help throughout the selling process. She is professional, experienced, organized, very knowledgeable and helpful. Her team was also lovely to work with, Elnaz who is great about communication, she was always available for phone calls, texts, and emails. I would HIGHLY recommend them.

"We were so fortunate to have chosen Shiva as our real estate agent, when we just moved from Flordia to John Creek, GA. Shiva has assisted our family in an excellent and meaningful way to find our desired home that made our family joyful. She always had a smile and was determined to get the job done in a timely manner. Shiva is a dedicated person, a very informative, and responsive agent. We wholeheartedly recommend Shiva as the most trusted and professional family real estate agent in this area." - The Moradi Family / March 2020

"Working w/ Shiva and Elnaz, as first-time homebuyers, this has been the most efficient, fun, informative, and fantastic experience for our first
investment. My husband and I are most grateful to know Shiva & Elnaz, the sweetest most fun souls inside out. We for sure appreciate their effort in which they pretty much took our hands and walked us thru a home-buying experience every step at the time. Professionally, they first interviewed us just as an introduction and patiently took the time for 2-3 days, showing us all sorts of houses. We pretty much were lost and didn't have any idea on how to narrow our search for our first home. They never got offended or exhausted by our lack of knowledge neither by our consulting friends& family for their opinions. They patiently listened and took the time, every single Friday/ Saturday, all day for almost 2
months, showing us around. Finally, “ the experts” pretty much pulled out our hidden desire on what we actually are looking for and made it happen. Along the path, they introduced us to loan lenders, banks, contractors, and whoever needed to help ease the process, and every single person had nothing but awesome to say about Shiva’s group. Shiva set the expectation high, which makes it pretty much impossible to go elsewhere. She helped us get thru the loan approval, negotiate a significant closing cost payment, and secure our offer in the most efficient and effective way that I have not known of anyone else could do, unless knowing the laws and rules inside out.

With having to wait for our loan approval, which by the way happened in the speed of light (less than 21 days)and existing multiple backup buyers keep suggesting right away payments waiting in line, she definitely worked her magic and closed the deal. She gave us confidence, peace of mind, and the experience that we would, no doubt, win and we did. We recommend her to anyone and everyone looking into buying a house, 100% guaranteed." - Behnaz & Amir Ali / February 2021

I couldn’t have done it without her by my side. I appreciate her expertise, wisdom, guidance, patience, honesty, and hard work ethic along the way. I am so thankful to have had her as an agent.

"After 15 years of living in the same house, Shiva was like a miracle worker. With the great skills that she has with negotiating and her profound knowledge, she found a great home for me in my ideal location with a wonderful deal. She went above and beyond to help me to find a reasonable contractor to renovate my old home and get it on the market. She was able to sell my home very quickly and with many offers. Words can't describe her but if I had to pick a few I would say she is very passionate, trustworthy, thoughtful, compassionate, honest, and very experienced in what she does!" -Bahar P. / February 2021

"We recently moved from Chicago to Atlanta, not having any familiarity with the city. Another realtor referred us to both Elnaz and another realtor. Somehow we started with the other one, but he did not work out. As soon as we contacted Elnaz, we knew the experience would be different. We started out wanting to rent, she was more than happy to help. As time went on, we realized we would significantly increase the bang for our buck by purchasing. She pivoted to our new objective quickly and easily. She immediately identified our needs and where we would likely be most interested in looking. We had many questions about specific units, as we were not currently in Atlanta, we needed to ask questions to the listing agents before adding them to a list to see in person, as our time here was very limited. She was always incredibly responsive to our needs and quick to act, even at a moment’s notice. Once we contracted, Elnaz supported us by being present for our inspection. At the inspection, she realized there might be something about the neighborhood that we may not like, and called to tell us vs. letting it go so she could get an easy sale. We pulled that contract and came down later that same week to do more showings, she lined up TEN more showings in the matter of a few days. Once we found a place (first and second), she was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout. She did an amazing amount of due diligence to ensure our offer was fair and reasonable. She consulted with subject matter experts when we had specific concerns or questions. During the period from contract to close, she was always available to support with the listing agent or the lender. In short, we have very high expectations and our experience with Elnaz was a 10 out of 10. We would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor." - Mike G

★★★★★
"Not knowing anybody in Atlanta, I feel extremely fortunate that I came across Elnaz. She was a true professional throughout the entire home buying process. It felt like she was buying the home because she was on top of every step and detail along the way. I would highly recommend Elnaz to anyone looking to purchase a home in Atlanta." - Hari S.

★★★★★
"I would highly recommend Elnaz Sajadieh with Compass; she is wonderful to work with! She was very thorough, honest, and professional. She kept us apprised about available appointments and always let us know as soon as a new property came on the market. In addition, she always made it a priority to work around our schedule in order to make sure we saw all of the properties we were interested in. She always made us feel comfortable and informed, from the search to the closing. We felt lucky to find such a wonderful agent and friend, in Elnaz!" - Daniel and Christina B.

"We were so fortunate to be able to work with Elnaz to buy our first investment property. She has been there every step of the way. Always on top of every email, call, and every single detail of the process. She is a very professional, certified problem solver, and always focused on bringing us the best options and solutions since we started the search. By far, she is the best realtor we have ever worked with. Our case was very particular because we were currently living overseas. Still, Elnaz went above and beyond to facilitate the process and make the search, purchase, and final renting listing very smooth. She really cares about her clients, and she was very detail-oriented in the whole journey, from advising us what would be best in any case and warning us when options were not a good fit for us. Additionally, we appreciated how seriously she takes her work and clients. Her knowledge, work ethic, and leadership are reflected in every stage, from helping us find a dream place to helping us solve every question and problem along the journey. And last but not least in helping by renting the unit in less than a week. Overall it was a pleasure to work with her, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustable, serious, friendly, and professional realtor." - Flavia and Tarek

★★★★★
"Shiva and her team went above and beyond my expectations. As first-time homebuyers, we were very naive in the process. Shiva guided us through every step and we knew immediately that she was looking out for our best interests. There are so many things that come up during the purchasing process that you may not think about. She took the initiative to handle it all before anything became an issue. I have already recommended her to family members and will continue to work with her team in the future." - Anit H.

"Real Estate agents are dime a dozen, but good agents are worth their weight in gold! The Shiva Group is by far the most professional and effective real estate agents I have ever experienced. They take pride in the four principles they live their professional life by. It is always a pleasure to work with Shiva and Elnaz, the best Real Estate team I have ever worked with. They have earned my trust and respect in handling any and all purchase and sales transactions. They are the only real estate team I would work with for years to come!" - Sia D.

★★★★★
"Despite the wild year, Shiva and Elnaz were able to go above and beyond throughout our home search! They were so patient and thoughtful as we looked at house after house and were always ready to go when we needed to sprint to a house viewing on the fly. Their dedication to all their clients shows and they are super responsive and helpful from start to finish. We appreciated their quick turnaround and guidance. They truly made it feel like we were their top priority and working with them was a breeze. Whether you're looking for your first property or just interested in something new, Shiva Group will be there to make your dreams come true!" - Emily C. & Arash S.

★★★★★
"I haven’t seen anything like this! Get ready...set...SOLD. My wife and I moved our home many times, in different states, and worked with a lot of real estate agents to sell or purchase a house. We finally got the answers for our search: SHIVA. From the get go, she had a plan about how our house would sell. As much as she was adamant for what was needed to be fixed and improved, she was very respectful and responsive to what we wanted to accomplish. Once everything was ready, our house got three offers and sold in the same day it was put on the market. The return on investment was off the roof. Shiva’s team is excellent and very professional in what they do." - Ugur K.

★★★★★
"Shiva and Elnaz were absolutely wonderful to work with. They helped us juggle two real estate transactions simultaneously and managed to keep the balls in the air while shielding us from most of the stress that usually comes with selling/buying real estate. They are true professionals and genuinely nice people. I highly recommend them without any reservations." - Sepeed M.

"I believe I am still dreaming every morning when I wake up in my new home…my dream home that Shiva Group found for me! Shiva and Elnaz make the entire home buying process an incredible experience from start to finish. They absolutely go above and beyond to find you the home you truly desire! This team is very special. They are always by your side with a dose of guidance, positivity, honesty and educating you along the way - that is what Shiva Group does best! They are a Real Estate Powerhouse & the Real Estate Gurus of Atlanta! Thank you Shiva Group for finding my dream home!" - Nika G.

"Working with Shiva Group has been the best decision I’ve ever made. They are so sweet and genuinely care about their clients. They’ve been patiently helping me find a home for over 2.5 years. I kept changing my mind, then covid hit, and then the housing market went crazy. Throughout this entire time, they only showed me compassion and understanding. They never made me feel rushed, or made me feel like I’m not worth their time. Thanks to Shiva and her incredible team I have finally found my dream home and closed yesterday! I refer them to everyone I meet! Thank you Shiva Group!" - Sanaz M.

★★★★★
"Shiva and Elnaz made buying a house such a breeze! We were new to home buying, and have heard horror stories from friends and family about terrible agents. Shiva was professional and personal! She never made us feel uncomfortable and helped us every step of the way! She first referred us to a very professional mortgage banker who got the best rate and approval in a very short time. (excellent service) After bank approval, We decided to give our first offer for the second property that We saw, and amazingly our offer was accepted in this seller’s market and shiva was the one who made it happen because she knows seller’s language! Shiva has very good knowledge and understanding of the real estate market that saved us lots of $$! She surprisingly was very professional in estimating the repair cost which made her able to strongly negotiate with the seller for a very good reimbursement. She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and finally arranged a very smooth closing day. If you are looking for reliable and knowledgeable agents I strongly recommend Shiva Group." - Ali T.

"Moving to a new city in a pandemic while expecting our first child was not an easy assignment. However, Shiva and her team went above and beyond our expectations and found us a lovely home in Brookhaven. She was transparent, honest, thoughtful, hardworking and a great advocate for our interests. Shiva thinks of everything – from having bottled water on house tours to asking important questions during the inspection process. She knows the Atlanta area thoroughly and recommended excellent painters, carpet installers, etc. My wife and I could not be happier and wholeheartedly recommend her and her team if you are looking at real estate in Atlanta. Thank you Shiva Group!" - Ben W.

"I want to start by thanking Shiva for just not selling home but also for her patience and commitment through the entire process. I entered the market like every new buyer with lots of hopes and excitement, selected few realtors to work with and was ready to start the housing game. However, it did not take much time to be disappointed and loosing hopes. The first realtor laughed at me because he said I am looking for an unrealistic house with limited budged, the 2nd realtor did not even pick my phone for the number of questions I've asked, the 3rd realtor created a profile in his portal and asked me to call when I like a house (no questions, suggestions, or additional conversations). So, I almost gave up on my house dream due to unprofessional realtors and the current market situation. One of my good friends suggested Shiva Group and to be honest with very limited hopes I reached out to her. Shiva immediately scheduled a meetup and impressed me with one of her biggest skill LISTENING. Yes, she listened to my needs and requirements and after our conversation she came up with a game plan and walked me through very important processes 1) Pre-approval 2) Explained first time buyer’s options 3) Give me an overview of current market. She was so professional that she suggested best location and surroundings that I should be looking before buying a house. That gave me confidence that she knows in & out of the real-estate business and she is willing to help. Now that being said, after I checked few houses for a while, all I kept saying is I would buy any house which she would recommend :-D :-D. I still remember the day she called me and instead of giving up on me she guided/suggested the importance of checking house specially in current market and how aggressive I should be (more like a family than just a realtor).
​ After 1.5 months of search, we finally found a house and I should say I am so IMPRESSED with her negotiation skills and her in-depth knowledge on every tiny little thing. It could be appliance, estimates, labor costs what not, she has great knowledge and almost accurate with pricing. I would have not gotten the current house if it was not Shiva.
​ It is not fair if I do not mention Shiva and her team Elnaz and Yaima for always willing to help, available in Shiva’s absence and work as hard as Shiva. All I want to say is I highly recommend Shiva and her team for their knowledge, professionalism, and skilled assistance for your future house." - Satish V.

"RECOMMENDED TO ALL!!!!!
​
​ I will start by thanking Shiva and her team to help us find our dream house (considering the market is crazy)​
​ ​
​ When working with her, will feel like your own family helping you in finding the house, she will tell you all the pro-cons of the house. Never see her rushing even though she has a lot of other clients and best part is if you feel deserted, she will call you at night and giving you hope that the right house is waiting for you.​
​ ​
​ Since the market was so crazy where million dollar house are sold in cash, we went on house hunting for a month and almost saw 30+ houses. Some house we saw were not even in the market yet, not sure what magic she does. In the end we got our dream house thanks to her dedication and positivity as I was thinking to drop the idea of buying the house in this market.​
​ ​
​ Thanks you Shiva for all you did for us.​
​ ​
​ And one more thing that I remember if she thinks the house doesn’t worth it, her lines will be ‘This house is a lipstick on the pig’ LOL" - Ankit & Marjan

"I worked with Elnaz to buy my property in Atlanta, she was the best agent I could have ever asked for. She is vastly knowledgeable about the process end to end, provides all the necessary explanations you need to understand all what you are getting into, and supports you with honest opinion based on her experience on the market. She's very resourceful as well, she provided me with the right contacts whenever needed to get everything done on time, and she was very prompt and relentless in her communication to make sure we stay compliant and ready for anything that might challenge us. I would recommend anybody to work with her, she's very passionate, relatable and personable with her clients." - Souhail G.

"Elnaz helped me sell my Midtown condo that went under contract in just three days at full asking price. From my experience Elnaz is not just a real estate agent, but a full service consultant as well. She recommended the renovations the condo needed and staged the home to help expedite the process. She has all the connections to contractors that finished the work in a timely manner. Her attention to detail was impressive throughout the whole process. During any sale there will be ups and downs in the negotiation process, but her experience has really shaped her skills to offer the best advice at every turn. I have used many agents in the past, but I know now that I will never use another other than Elnaz. Tremendously grateful, thank you so much.!" - Justin H.
