It was swift and worked out as expected within our timelines
It was great working with Sharmin for selling our house as it was swift and worked out as expected within our timelines. She is practical and was able to direct us through different choices with her experience.
Sharmin is extremely professional who knows the market well
We started looking at homes in California and Sharmin was recommended to us by our close friend. Sharmin is extremely professional who knows the market well. Her attention to detail is the key positive part. It helped us to make an informed decision. This was not-normal market. She was not only representing as a buyer’s agent with our needs and wants for the new home, but she was also very cautious that the deal was in our best interest. We can vouch Sharmin for the Professional trust that one needs in their realtor. Over the course of many months, we looked lot of houses and put in offer for few of them. Her communication skills were impeccable. We were impressed by Sharmin’s negotiation skills. Her strategy during the negotiation phase was impressive, as she leveraged her market knowledge in Bay Area to our advantage. As first-time buyers, we valued Sharmin’s patience. She educated us about each step, from mortgage pre-approval to the closing. Her guidance in understanding the mortgage process was particularly helpful. This entire process was a smooth transaction all due to Sharmin. After the closing, Sharmin helped with a few other things and made sure we were happy with the home. We highly recommend Sharmin if you are looking for a great realtor!
Sharmin helped my family on multiple transactions (Buy and Sell). Sharmin knows the market and neighborhood and provides very good recommendations and good advice. Her expertise helped in multiple opportunities. She recently helped in selling my property and we are very impressed with the way she took the property to closure without any challenges. I recommended her to my other friends as well. Will continue to work with her on my future transactions as well. Thanks. -Satya
She helped us buy 2 houses and sell 1 in last 4 years.
Sharmin is a great realtor, she helped us buy 2 houses and sell 1 in last 4 years. I would highly recommend her as she was trusted partner through entire process and made it seamless. Buying experience- both of the times she was able to find us the right house in the right area within our budget. She worked closely with us to understand our needs and helped us with every step. This was extra helpful especially with our first purchase to guide us through the process. 2nd house we ended up being involved in many multiple bid situations, she has extensive background in bay area real estate and was able to help us with offer price and counter offers. She gained a lot of our trust as she provided clear guidance that was in our best interest even though majority of agents would try to make the sale happen. Selling experience - She has turnkey solution to make the sale process smooth. After we vacated house she took care of the tasks of staging and making minor updates, she constantly communicated the prices and was keeping us informed about the progress. We actually went to week long vacation after vacating and by the time we were back the open house was done, had offer on hand in days.
She is always prompt, courteous and, most importantly, honest.
Sharmin has been our buyer’s agent during a recent purchase and she has surpassed all our expectations. Her knowledge and expertise in the field were obvious from day 1. She is always prompt, courteous and, most importantly, honest. This was very important to us to be able to look objectively at any property. Throughout the process we felt assured that she was trying to find the best deal for us. She went above and beyond her duties by helping us get estimates on renovations even before us asking for help! We highly recommend her.
Excellent job throughout our home buying journey
Sharmin did an excellent job throughout our home buying journey. She always accompanied us in private touring of the houses and answered all our questions promptly. She is very knowledgeable, has patience, responsible, dependable and is result oriented. We are very happy that we chose Sharmin as our buyer agent. We highly recommend Sharmin as your next Realtor !!
Patient and Kind to advice us from taking a decision's in frustration
I really appreciate the patience Sharmin had with us. She was patient and kind to advice us from taking decisions in frustration . We were so frustrated to the point that we went over budget but she pulled us back at right moment and saved us from big financial mistake. Now we got better home at a better price and we are happy that she was there to pull us back when we were hasty and she was there to push us when it was right time to buy. I would highly recommend her to be your agent if you want right opinion at right time and being patient at the same time
Thorough Professional and has Excellent tips
We knew Sharmin from family and friends for few years, so we asked Sharmin to be our realtor for our new house search journey. Sharmin is thorough professional and has excellent tips on how to approach the then hot market where buyers were paying almost 20% premium on the listing prices. She made sure we dont get into the bidding war and get too emotional and end up paying way too much. This saved us from getting into bidding wars . From the Day one she setup a whatsup group and was available to answer our very basic questions we had about open houses and private showing. She was very responsive when we requested for private showing and she made sure she was always accompanying us during each showing . She made sure she checked everything needed including a thorough walk-thru the house , asking questions to seller agents to get all the questions she had answered to her satisfaction and then explaining to us in layman's words for us to understand ( all those questions would have NEVER crossed our minds ) She also got us connected to few lenders to make sure we get the best rate possible and guided thru the process once we finalized the lender. Finally we narrowed down on the house we wanted and she diligently worked thru the seller agent and lender to make sure everything was in place before the closing . We thought the closing day will be very stressful but it was a smooth ride as Sharmin had worked behind the scene to get us an excellent first time home owner experience ... Thank you Sharmin for being our Realtor and finding the best house we could get . We Highly recommend Sharmin and i am sure you will get the best experience in buying your dream home!!
Provided Valuable Feedback
Sharmin helped us successfully purchase a property that really met all our requirements. Her feedback on the properties we saw was always welcome as she navigated us through the whole home buying process. She was available at all times and promptly responded to all our question. We never went into any of the home buying processes without having full knowledge. She is patient and always provided valuable feedback to the countless properties we visited during the course of our search. I would highly recommend Sharmin, we trusted her in helping us with such a big transaction, she delivered and always had our back throughout the whole process.
Energetic, Knowledgeable and Attentive!
We just bought a house with the help of Sharmin Lopes, and we would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. Sharmin was energetic, knowledgeable and attentive; she listened carefully and never pressured us to do anything we weren't prepared to do. She seemed to always be available, as if we were her only clients (though we definitely were not). She gently educated us about what it took to write a winning offer. It was reassuring to have Sharmin on our side while navigating the craziness that is the Bay Area housing market. She continued to be extremely helpful throughout the escrow process and beyond, helping us find contractors and giving advice about renovations. We feel fortunate to have found her.
Persistent and Trustworthy!
"I was looking for a property at bay area but I was out of state. Everything had to be done by facetime so I needed reliable realtor. She has been persistent and trustworthy by putting customers interest as top priority. In a crazy market I could relatively easily find and close a deal with Sharmin's help. Strongly recommend"
Exceeded our expectation!!!
Sold our first investment property with Sharmin and we can't be more pleased with her services! She exceeded our expectations and handled everything end to end from marketing, the open house, negotiations and the closing process, bringing us an offer almost 10% above asking. Sharmin's professionalism and transparency clearly showed she always kept our best interests in mind and with her knowledge and experience advised us with key decisions as first time sellers (i.e. asking price, staging, listing date, etc). She responded to our questions promptly and subsided any "seller's anxiety" we had. Sharmin is a pleasure to work with and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a realtor committed to you.
Always Responsive
It was great working with Sharmin , she was always responsive of all our questions/doubts and was eager to make sure that we are getting what we wanted in our house search. She was excited to see houses with us and that makes a great positive environment to interact with. She gave good advises from her experience as we are 1st time home buyers and it's a new process for us.
"Amazing"
If I had to describe her services in one word that would be "amazing". She was suggested by our friends and our first meeting itself sealed the decision of realtor for my wife and I. Her demeanor and transparency with us (first time buyers) is very much appreciated. She carefully listened to and studied our exact preferences and she did not hesitate to say no to few of our choices because they did not fit into our criteria even though we liked them. And that turned out to be a very good decision for us as well. Her not being a "yes man" and putting our priorities first through her experience resulted in getting a home my wife and I absolutely love. She also made sure we are not going into a panic mode looking at the competition and price surges in bay area. All in all she is an absolute delight to work with and highly recommend her!
Most Honest and Wonderful!!!
She is most honest and wonderful agent who took care of every aspects and details from the start until the end of escrow. She helped me to sell multiple (SFH) properties and also helped me purchase multiple properties (SFH) as well. She is always available and she will always follow up!
Felt Comfortable in the Entire Process!!!
Sharmin helped us to buy a home in San Jose. She is a true professional. Sharmin is highly knowledgeable about the bay area, schools, etc. Our process took a few months and she was very patient and flexible. Also, she used to work around our schedule. I know it is a very complex process to go to open houses during this pandemic situation and she used to take care of everything. I know it is a very difficult process to buy a house in this super competitive bay area housing market. Sharmin took care of everything from arranging open houses, giving offers, and negotiating the deal. She guided through the whole process. Always she will be on time for all the appointments which is amazing quality. Sharmin is always accessible, transparent, extremely quick to respond to emails and text messages. She is also not pushy and not tries to force a house to buy to close the transaction. She is very helpful. We asked for a Vasthu expert and she arranged for a vasthu expert in no time.She also referred a mortgage specialist.She always tries to help you and make you feel comfortable in the whole process. Again Sharmin will take care of everything and make your home buying experience a pleasant one.I will refer Sharmin to my friends and colleagues.
Negotiated Best Price!!!
We had a great time working with Sharmin! She was always available to answer our any questions promptly. When we started looking for house to buy, Sharmin went over all the home buying details with us and guided us on where to start. During our search period, she educated us about which area to look for based on our needs. She pointed out all the issues/concerns with the house that we overlooked. We never felt the pressure of buying any house from her. After 2 months of active search we finally found our dream home. She moved fast. All the paperwork was flawless and very clear. She was also able to negotiate the best price for us. All thanks to Sharmin’s prompt response and hard work.. We would highly recommend her. Don’t hesitate to call her. You’ll be in good hands ??

Knowledgeable, approachable, personable
My wife and I worked with Sharmin to purchase our first home and really can’t say enough good things about her. She is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with her time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends over the course of several months). She answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with Shramin made it as painless and straightforward as possible. We highly recommend her. -Satyabrat & Shubham (-Buyer / Fremont)
Highly Recommended
I highly recommend Sharmin to any people, who are going to buy or sell properties. She earned my trust. I was to sell my property remotely, which meant I couldn’t physically be there to handle all the processes. I was very worried about finding an agent, who I could fully trust. I was lucky that Sharmin was exactly the one I could trust. She treated my property just as her own, and took very good care of it. She handled all the logistics very smoothly, which resulted in a very satisfactory sale. She is very professional. She has so many years’ work experience in the bay area, and could handle all the necessary processes very professionally. She shared with me a very good work plan beforehand. Then she hired the contractors to do the paintings, and install the heaters. The staging and professional picture taking followed right after the improvements. Because of her successful advertising, the open house was a great success. The final steps of the closing were handled very smoothly as well. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. Every time when I had a question via text messages, she responded quickly, and made me feel the question was already thought through and well handled. Sometimes, she calls me to explain it in more detail, so that I can understand it more clearly. She’s like a good friend to me, not just as an agent. Sharmin is the best agent I’ve ever seen. She’s the one I would refer to my friends. - Jake (Seller / San Jose)
Responded quickly!!!
Sharmin has done great job in narrowing down the type of property we want and have shown us patiently all the properties we wanted to see. Explained pros and cons for each one. She responded quickly on the offer and our offer got selected by the seller. Thank you Sharmin. Buyer - Milpitas
Exceeded the expectation!!!
Sharmin was very helpful throughout the buying process, she was always present in-person whenever needed. She made sure that my side is well addressed and taken care. Her attention to details and patience to explain in terms that I understand is highly commendable. She exceeded the expectation by pro-actively guiding in Home-Loan process as well. I rate her highly on transparency, honesty, hard-work and due diligence, and will recommend to my friends.
Helpful and Supportive!!!
From the moment we met Sharmin, we knew we had found the perfect person to help us with our search to find a Home. As a first time buyer, we had lot of requirements that were changing quite often as we were going to open houses. She showed us many, many homes and most importantly she listened and understood all of our needs and desires; she told us if something was not going to work out and guided us to look out for things that she would look into buying a house if she is going to buy hey first house now. She never said no to show us a house even if it was very late in the night or we wanted to visit the same house multiple times. Once we found our dream home, she was way, way, way beyond helpful in both negotiating the sale but also understanding the complexities of our own financial situation. She did everything in her power to make things work and they did; every moment was supported with the right information and people to help make things happen. She also got our home deep cleaned as the seller agent was not ready to clean as it was not discussed during the closure. Never thought this type of personal service and attention was possible with a real estate agent; but she was and is amazing. Anyone looking to buy a home or sell in Bay area market will be truly lucky to find Sharmin Lopes. - Pranali Mahenderker & Sri Saladi ~ IT Proffessionals

Sharmin helped us in many ways throughout the process of buying our house. She acted more like a friend than a realtor in advising the pros and cons of the house, what price to bid for (both initial bid and counter offer bids), what contingencies to put, etc. Whatever she wasn't sure of, she didn't mis-advise us - instead she did her research before advising us about anything. What also made her stand out from most if not all realtors is that she helped us with formalities and basic home set up (like setting up handyman appointments, cleaning appointments, etc.) even after the close of the deal and escrow.
