Radhika is the BEST real estate agent I have ever worked with. Her knowledge and experience were crucial during this challenging time. Her response time to questions and problems was immediate. Her leadership and negotiating skills were much appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home.

Looking to buy or sell a home for top dollar? Trust Radhika to make the process easy.We sold our 1st home a few weeks ago. Radhika not only understood our raw emotions but worked hard in ensuring our home is as appealing and beautiful for future home owners, as the first time we stepped into it. She relived our years of beautiful memories with us, and had great ideas to freshen up the space for recreating the magic. Radhika has an eye and flair for interior design and we used this awesome trait to our full advantage. She worked with our crazy work schedules and never once hesitated to make our lives easier. I saw her extending the same hospitality to the final buyers as well. Thank you Radhika, for always going over and beyond. Your sharp knowledge, expertise in your field and friendly demeanor make you an asset in all kinds of real estate markets.

Helped me buy home

My family's experience working with Radhika could not have been better! I would recommend her to ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE looking to buy a home in the Phoenix area! She is incredible! Our family was moving back to the United States from living abroad, and we simply COULD NOT have done this without Radhika's incredible expertise, inside knowledge, and above and beyond service to us! She helped us find the perfect place and get it for the best price possible! Very first thing Radhika LISTENED to what we wanted. And she asked questions we didn't even know we ought to be asking. And she was sure to send us only property listings that checked the boxes of what we wanted, neither pushing us to settle for something less than ideal, nor pushing us towards something outside of our budget. Radhika helped us to see some long-term advantages/disadvantages of houses we had not considered, but never in a pushy way. She always let us be in charge of our own decisions. Even after we found a house we wanted, she never once made us feel locked into a decision we weren't comfortable with, ever encouraging us to be sure we had what we wanted.Since we were living abroad, Radhika did all the leg work visiting homes, walking us through each place on Facetime. She was happy to look at as many places as we wanted. She was also willing to work at really early and really late hours of the day to compensate for our inconvenient time zone (bless her good heart!).Once we found the house we wanted, Radhika worked quickly, and was smart in her interactions with the seller. Even though she could get a larger commission if the house sold for more, she managed to negotiate 18K lower than the price we were already willing to pay! (plus an additional 9K+ in repairs after we were under contract). Since the seller was his own real estate agent, Radhika was kind enough to draft all the papers for him free of charge (she's just nice like that! =).Radhika excelled at keeping the whole process moving, being sure to work with the loan agent and the title company to keep everyone on schedule. When it came to our personal information, she was very respectful of our privacy, but was also instrumental in setting up our meetings with our loan officer. She answered every question we had thoroughly and thoughtfully, and helped us to avoid fraud and keep our money safe. She never seemed to tire of our endless questions! She is even now, long after the sale, ever willing to answer our questions as they come up!Since we have never lived in Arizona (and not even the United States in over a decade!) Radhika offered us invaluable tips about home ownership and living in Arizona. She checked reviews on the school we were hoping to put our kids in, and helped us set up our utilities (making calls for us since we were on the other side of the world) even after the sale was closed. Radhika traveled to our home many times to meet inspectors, walk though the place with friends of ours, and even arrange for cleaners (twice!) to come and clean before we got there. Before we arrived she allowed us to buy things on Amazon and send them to her house, which she then brought to our house for us! And since we were coming from abroad and hoping to spend our first night back in America in our own home, Radhika bought/washed/and put sheets on the beds for us; put toilet paper, shampoo, soap, bathmats etc in every bathroom; and even stocked our fridge and cupboards with food to get us through a few days as we settled in!! She even met us at the airport and helped transport our luggage to our new home. Can you believe that!?I'm telling you, she is amazing! Radhika went so far beyond her duties as just a real estate agent for us, and we are so grateful for her selfless service and her invaluable expertise! If you are in the market either buying or selling in the Phoenix area, do yourself a favor and get Radhika as your real estate agent!!

Helped me buy home

We would highly recommend Radhika if you want to buy a home in the Phoenix area. She was very patient with us, showing us many homes and working around our schedule. Once we found a home, we wanted to purchase she handled everything expertly and efficiently including communications with our mortgage broker and title agency. She has outstanding negotiating skills. She educated us about and along the process as we hadn’t bought a home in over 18 years. Since we were out of town buyers, she arranged for the inspection and was able to FaceTime us during the inspection. She always answered questions in a timely manner. She went above and beyond in arranging everything for us to be able to arrive and move into a sparkling clean home. We love our new place and are very grateful we found Radhika. She made the whole process as painless and enjoyable as possible.

Helped me buy and sell homes

Radhika was the second real estate agent we used to help find a new home and she was the BEST!!! Not only did she listen to what we were looking for in a home but was very patient while searching for the new home. It took a few months and her ability to be prompt when a house came never failed. Radhika is very knowledgeable about the process of purchasing and kept open communication with us throughout, along with communicating with the lender often. Most of all, we found comfort in the trust that we put into Radhika and she did not let us down. There is not enough great things that I can say about her.

Helped me buy and sell homes

Being in the financial services industry my entire career I know a bit about the real estate industry. I have been transferred to different cities numerous times so I have had to buy and sell more times than I care to count. My last 3 transactions have all been with Radhika. I can say with certainty that I wish all my transactions had been with her. It took my whole career to find an agent that knows more about the buying and selling process and as much as I do about the intricacies of the financing process. Radhika truly goes above and beyond what is typically expected of an agent I think the best way to describe the extra care she gives to handling a transaction is that for me it is difficult to decide if I like her better as my agent or the friend she has become. I am somewhat of a person that is a stickler for detail which is why I would only ever consider using Radhika for any future real estate transactions. If you want the best consider doing the same.

Helped me buy home

I was going through a transition point in my life and was looking for a new dream home. Radhika was an absolute pleasure to work with. I opted for a new build which took longer than expected due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Radhika was with me every step of the way. Even though I previously built a new home, Radhika walked me through the entire process, helped me pick upgrades and options, assuaged my concerns about building during a pandemic, and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I cannot recommend Radhika highly enough. She is extremely personable and a consummate professional. I have dealt with many realtors over the years but Radhika is by far the best.

Helped me buy home

Radhika is amazing! She went out of her way to research homes and offered valuable advice to help with the process in an extremely competitive market. Her advice was spot on and remained positive, even when I felt discouraged when losing to other buyers. Radhika is friendly, energetic, intentional and knows the Phoenix market well. She has my highest recommendation!

Helped me buy home

Radhika was simply wonderful to work with! She went above and beyond to help with finding a home for our parents and has been extremely detail oriented with everything. Even after the closing she has been highly involved to make sure things that still need attention are taken care of! She has been totally committed and continues to help every day. We couldn’t be happier with her professionalism, dedication and commitment to make the whole experience a positive one. We HIGHLY recommend Radhika if you’re needing a dedicated realtor to work with!
