I can wholeheartedly recommend Umang without qualification or reservation to anyone needing a real estate broker in Palo Alto. I recently purchased a house in the Midtown area of Palo Alto in preparation for my move west from the East Coast. I knew no brokers in Palo Alto and worked through the Internet and a firm that helps you find a broker. They rated Umang at the top of their list for Palo Alto and I soon learned why. He contacted me quickly even though he was busy. He did that throughout the process and I appreciated his promptness. Even better, he has a thorough knowledge of the Palo Alto market, having been a broker there for some ten years, representing both buyers and sellers. He knows the various neighborhoods and the pricing and selling trends and history of sales. He could compare houses in different neighborhoods in terms of fair value in the selling price, potential appreciation, and potential rental income. He knows the neighborhood schools as well and other points that made a particular location attractive. Umang is also quite adept at the negotiation process and how to present my offer. He knew the likely range, where to start the offer, and when the price exceeded fair value. He helped me focus on the desired result of buying a house and not getting too caught up in the emotions generated by the process. He had prior experience with the seller’s broker, which was a definite plus. What I liked best is that Umang did not pressure me to buy any particular house or a house at all. Yet he was always ready to provide information and, if I asked, his views on the houses we saw. Beyond that, Umang was superb at recommending other service providers, including insurance agents, a handyman and a gardener. I have already recommended Umang to others and will continue to do so.

Our realtor is Umang Sanchorawala. He has been an incredible resource and a great realtor for us. I can't recommend him enough. Umang takes your search to heart and works very, very hard to find the perfect home for you. He gave us tons of fantastic data on home appreciation rates in the cities we were considering, not just the current year but also the past 5-6 years. He found school rating data and even called the school district to try to schmooze them to tell him the rating that was going to be given to a new school. Looked at a ton of houses with us and without us for months and never once tried to push us into anything. Very much above and beyond what I'd expect from my realtor! When we made an offer on the house we bought, he worked hard to help us figure out how much to bid to make sure we got the house, but not bid too much and give up more money than we needed to do. He is friendly, never pushy, honest, works incredibly hard, gives 110%. After our experience with him, he has become a good friend. How many times can one say that of one's realtor?

I have conducted five residential real estate transactions in the past 15 years. I have used five different agents for these five transactions. I do not intend to find a sixth. Nobody could have done a better job representing us. Umang knows the market, coached us effectively on what it would take to win, and presented us with quantitative data to help us understand both where the market was and where it was headed. Since our purchase, Umang has continued to serve as great resources, providing everything from remodeling tips to an array of contracting contacts. I absolutely recommend and endorse Umang Sanchorawala to anyone that is looking to buy or sell a property in the Peninsula region of the San Francisco Bay Area.

After seven years of my search, five with you, I finally got this perfect lot! Without your patience, persistence, and dedication to your clients, it would have never happened. You waited for us to grow in confidence and financial comfort to finally make this decision. I remember the day we first met and clicked to work together, and throughout all these years nothing has changed. You are not only a true professional but a well-wishing friend that never says "no" to any of our requests, questions, or concerns. It has been a real pleasure working with you and finalizing this part of a project. I am glad we are neighbors! Many thanks forever.

This is my 5th home sale over the years and Umang has been, by far, our best realtor. What stands out is the incredible amount of work he did in preparing the home for sale - managing a remodel or refresh (new flooring, tiles, fixtures, etc.), landscaping, cleaning, inspections, staging, etc. Most realtors will just 'broker' connections, but he actually managed everything - really impressive. He also did a great job in all other aspects of the process - marketing, open houses, offer negotiation, and close steps. I'd highly recommend him. Thx.

Umang was excellent as a realtor. He was patient, knowledgeable, efficient, punctual, kind, respectful and most of all listened to what my needs in a new house were. Unlike other realtors who "just want to sell a house," Umang looks for what's best for his client. Since I bought my house, I still ask Umang whenever I have real estate questions. You will not be at all disappointed with his style and efficiency.
