Highly recommend: Reliable, thorough and clean offer Mohan helped us purchase our first home in Bay area. Mohan is very professional, well experienced, and comes with a wealth of knowledge about properties, legal, market trends, and real estate business. Since we were new to the housing market, Mohan was very patient and explained the terminology and the process to us clearly. He always made sure to visit/show the property and inspect it thoroughly before making the offer. He also advised us *not* to buy certain properties with foundational issues and problems which we found very useful and reiterates trust. Due to personal reasons, we had to take a break from bidding, and Mohan was very understanding and willing to work with us when we were back. He also does a thorough job of reading all the home disclosures thoroughly and advices accordingly. We were bidding in a very tough market, yet Mohan was persistent and helped us find our dream home. Mohan also has a network with lenders and can help close the offer very smoothly and at a good rate. After purchasing the home, he continued to help us with contractor contacts for upgrades, cupboard fixes, also ensured to contact seller agent for electrician etc and helped us move in smoothly to our new home. Overall, we are very happy with our experience and with his help, we would highly recommend Mohan to anyone looking to buy a home!

As an investor, I needed the service of a professional Real Estate Agent who is skilled at assessing investment properties and recognizing the potential for profit. We were so fortunate to have found Mohan Chalagalla as our Realtor. Mohan was thoroughly knowledgeable with the Bay Area Real Estate market and the specific areas that have the present potential for growth. He helped us find the right property in the right area for the right price. He was patient and cautioned us about making unreasonable offers when we fell too quickly for overpriced homes. In short, he was always on our side working to make our property purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Mohan was that he was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding properties that met our needs than he was on closing a deal. We would recommend Mohan to anyone looking to purchase a property in the Bay area.

I have known Mohan for 3+ years now and when we were planning to buy our second home, we reached out to him to get some advice around Bay area real estate trends. Even though the interest rates were high compared to prior years, Mohan suggested that we start our home buying process without further delay. Mohan is hands on and extremely detailed and he did not waste any time to prepare a list of properties that we could look at based on our criteria and created a schedule along with getting appointments for home tours. He also recommended pre-approval and referred us to lenders he had worked with and trusted. Mohan went with us to every home we shortlisted and took detailed notes on pros and cons of each home. He also sent us the disclosures of each home and went through the documents answering all our questions in a detailed manner. Mohan is calm, patient, soft spoken and has an awesome attitude. He is also extremely diligent, knowledgeable and super responsive. He takes extra effort to make you comfortable and always answers his phone and emails promptly. He does a lot of pre-work and research behind the scenes and makes it easy on us. His recommendations are always spot on and give a detailed overview of the area, schools and other factors that we may not be completely aware of. When we identified a home that we wanted to put an offer on, Mohan went above and beyond to get all the inspection reports from the seller's agent, highlighted important areas that needed our attention and pushed for us to get the inspections done on our side so we were satisfied. He also did a lot of research on the comps and recommended an offer price that we were not only comfortable with but also competitive. He put together a winning offer packet. Needless to say, our offer was accepted and from this point on he shifted his focus on the tasks to close smoothly and successfully. Mohan consistently connected with the lender, escrow and the seller's agent to make sure we were always on time. If anything was amiss then Mohan was there to spot that and get them resolved even if it was not something he was accountable for. He was also instrumental in negotiating the list price and bringing it down after we identified a couple of fixes that we had to do in the house. Without Mohan's care and effort, we would not have had a smooth closing. It took us a little over 45 days for us to start looking at the properties and closing the home of our choice and Mohan played a very significant role to make it happen. We recommend Mohan highly to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell a property.

As a first-time buyer, the home-buying process seemed a bit overwhelming, but thanks to Mohan Chalagalla at Realty Experts, it went much smoother than we had anticipated. The amount of time and effort he put into walking us through the whole process was impressive. He is very knowledgeable about the properties in and around the Bay Area, which helped us quickly narrow down the houses we liked. From getting the pre-approvals to closing the deal, he was able to provide several contacts and resources to speed up the process. He was so prompt that he got us the pre-approval, walked us through the paperwork, and submitted an offer within three business days for one of the houses that we liked. He was readily available for home tours and responsive to emails/calls. If I texted him a question or an update, he would often respond within just a few minutes. He was thorough with visual inspections and gave honest feedback about the properties and the locations we had visited. He also took care of minor details such as cleaning, choosing what goes into the home warranty, and even splitting costs fairly between us and the seller. He is well-versed in dealing with other real estate agents too, which helped in negotiations with the seller and getting us our dream home at a fair price.
