Amit has been our realtor for more than 10 yrs now. He has helped us to close our primary residence as well as investment property in the Bay Area. He is extremely knowledgeable in real estate market and often guided us in house purchasing process. He is an expert negotiator as well. He understands how to deal with buyer contingencies in order to prepare the best deal for his clients. In one occurrence, we ended up paying almost 10% less than the our original offer because of his negotiating skills. Finding cash flow positive deals in Bay Area is not that common. But Amits help has been invaluable, to find such a deals in which cap rate is much higher than any ordinary deals. Another quality of Amit which is I really admire is that he is not just looking for his commission as a real estate agent but always looks out for well being of his clients. He has educated us on the deals which look good on paper but after further analysis dint make sense. In such scenarios, he advised us to stay away from those. If you are looking for a realtor who can really take care of your familys needs and also educate you about real estate market in Bay Area then Amit is your man! 2015
Amit is a professional, trustworthy realtor and brings value to the table. I heard about Amit and OwnSweetHome through his radio show and a friend also recommended him. The real estate market in 2015 was hot and there were multiple offers on every property on the market. Buying a home for the first time is a stressful process, however, Amit made it easy and smooth. He was prompt in responding to any questions, emails, and phone calls. He provided advice through a personal approach and also aided us with refinancing and the loan process. Amit had sat down with us and explained the pros and cons of each property and the likeliness of the prices they would sell for. He guided us on real estate contract and even analyzed our financial situation. His webinar, First Time Home Buyer, was informative and helpful for me as I started looking for homes. Five star kudos to OwnSweetHome Realty. 2015
Amit and Renuka made the home buying process smooth for us. The most important aspect was that they were reliable and made sure that we got the best deal. They advised us throughout the whole process and every decision made along the way. They helped negotiate every aspect possible to provide us with the best opportunities. They managed to bring the price down for us almost ten percent in the hot bay area market. Made sure that all contingencies were taken care of and everything that needed to be fixed was fixed. Amit was thorough even with small details. Amit & Renuka accompanied us to all the houses we wanted to see and advised us on the pitfalls to avoid during the process. Once we were in contract, Renuka sent a detailed email on the different steps for the entire transaction - timeline, loans, processing, etc. Everything was followed to a tee and we even closed ahead of time. Amit's First Time Home Buyer webinar really helped build a foundation of knowledge for us before we started the search for our home. The content is informative and helped made real estate & loans understanding a lot easier. I heard about Amit through his radio show, which I have listened since 2012. Our friends have bought home through Amit & Renuka as well. They provide a personal approach which we really admire. We consider Own Sweet Home a one-stop shop for any and all of your real estate needs. 2018
Amit was my agent when I purchased my home in 2010 and I was happy with my experience then. So, when I decided to sell the place this year (2019), he was my natural first choice as agent. We started with an initial consultation where he came up with a list of options/scenarios for me, made sure my mind was made up about the sale and then prepared a dossier for me with comparables, recent sales, market value, likely list price etc. This made it easy to understand the dynamics of the market in one reading before making my final decision to sell.
Once we decided to go ahead with the sale, Amit was my one stop shop for all things - handyman work, painting the interior, staging, escrow etc. Having been in the business for many years, he had the right people for each of these, making everything effortless. The entire process chugged along like a well-oiled machine.
The week of listing, he arranged a broker open house as well as a regular open house soon after, to market the house to maximum number of qualified and interested buyers. His decision to do an upfront property report helped make sure the buyers knew what they were getting into and write a confident offer. After we listed the home, we had a satisfactory offer above listing price pretty much within 2 days of the first open house. The entire transaction was smooth and I absolutely felt I was in the right hands with Amit.
Amit's real time systems like Open House Visitor Real Time Feedback, and Interested Buyer Alerts kept me always on top of all marketing efforts.
Overall, Amit and Renuka were completely on top of all things related to the sale and extremely communicative. Always a Whatsapp message or phone call away to answer the most trivial of questions/concerns. This gives a lot of peace of mind and made the entire experience smooth and stress free. Amit has been extremely transparent and professional throughout providing the right guidance at the right time. Highly recommended!! Will gladly do business with him again!! Own Sweet Home!! 2019
I found Amit to be professional and knowledgeable in home purchasing, selling and financing. I found him to have deep understanding of real estate market in cities around San Jose, California.
We purchased our second home through Own Sweet Home, realty company that Amit owns. We had specific requirements such as geographical area, school district, size of the home and access to nearby public places. Amit narrowed down many homes that met our requirements and walked us through open homes with promptness and patience.
We purchased home, in a beautiful neighborhood, that all family members continue to enjoy today. For that, I sincerely thank Amit. Amits advice in re-financing my first home and financing my current home helped me owning two homes.
Thank you Amit for your friendly and professional help. I still vividly remember how you created purchase offer, got the home thoroughly inspected and made sure escrow closed in time for my family to move in. Thanks again.
Since then, its a privilege to consider you as our family friends.
Ravindra Sadaphule: Amit is an expert in the Real Estate. He's been working in the RE industry for a long time, he can certainly work with you based on your budget to suit your exact needs. Amit not only helped us sell our home on time but was instrumental to find and buy another house in the neighborhood that we liked. Personally, I find him approachable and nice enough to readily answer all the questions. You can imagine the questions we had since we were selling a home & buying another one. Glad that Amit was on our side. It's such a big relief that everything turned out well. Both of our closings were done in a timely manner. With Amits listing strategy we received multiple offers on our home & sold above asking. His advise on the price, terms contingencies was right on the mark. I highly recommend Amit.

It was a walk in the park kind of home buying experience.
Amit and Renuka took care of everything for us. . Renuka and Amit arranged for everything; literally they did everything for us. All we needed to do was provide them our information.
Remember we met Amit on Sunday for the first time. He came up with a bunch of homes. We didn't even have to look far. What we did was just choose what we liked & he got us that home. Nailed first offer!! Apart from negotiating the price, terms and contingencies, Amit also took care of so many things for us. He negotiated repairs with the seller. Washer and dryer were not part of the sale but he negotiated for it to be included. Everything was handled by them professionally. They were always available to answer actually they did all the process for us. They are a complete package; Owning this Home is Sweet 5 stars absolutely! - Snehal Rele/ Shantanu Gadkari 2013
Amit was straightforward, no sugar coating and he did not force us to make a decision immediately. Since it was our first home, we were not sure what kind of home we could afford. Amit gave us a realistic expectations on affordability, helped us narrow down the neighborhoods and finally getting us a beautiful home the whole family had liked. He made us realize the challenges in home buying as well as financing and what can go wrong and that helped a lot. 2016 - was a hot market. During the process there was some difficulty in loan. Amit and Renuka were diligent, patient and provided solution. Amit managed to even get us better rates. They negotiated contingencies for us. Amit also convinced the seller to take care of repairs when we found out that home needed some. Amit's Webinar work wonders. It greatly helped me clarify the doubts on home buying and the financing and making the decision. It was awesome that they were always there whenever we had questions with pretty fast response all the time. Whenever we email or message, they will immediately answer. Amit and Renuka are helpful and friendly. A well deserved FIVE STAR recommendation for OSH. 2016
We got to know about Amit through his radio program and then as he suggested watched the First Time Home Buyer webinar. The webinar was informative, and I was really able to get the "home buying" worry off my shoulder. It helped us jumpstart our process. 2017- was a hot market but we got our dream home at a price we were not even expecting. It was a great deal. Amit & Renuka were helpful providing solutions, proactive in giving information & guiding throughout the transaction. All the questions, concerns, process, negotiations with seller, everything was handled professionally and with our interest in mind. Amit & Renuka have high energy and help you complete the entire home buying process. 2017
We purchased our first home in Fremont through Own Sweet Home Realty (Amit Inamdar and Renuka Inamdar). They were highly recommended to us from a family friend who themselves went through the home buying process with Amit and Renuka.
Amit and Renuka were knowledgeable about the neighborhoods and gave us realistic advice after looking at our financial background. We were a little picky about the neighborhoods because of our work places and those neighborhoods happened to be in competitive areas. Renuka was still patient and submitted offers to homes that we liked. After losing like 7 offers, Amit explained to us that perhaps we need to change the neighborhood that we were looking in. We took his advice into consideration and started looking for houses in the East Bay. Renuka took extra effort to identify some properties that were not even listed on the market at the time. We submitted an offer on the property we really liked, and it got accepted (the first one after we changed the area we were looking in).
Own Sweet Home realty turned out to be a one-stop shop for us since Amit helped us with the financing. Based on our financial background, Amit tailored the financing options for us and offered a great deal that worked in our best interests.
All in all, the whole home buying process with Amit and Renuka was a great learning experience and we ended up with an outstanding deal for a great townhome in Irvington, Fremont. 2017
