ZillowVERIFIEDGary's open and candid communication style instantly developed trust with us. We had multiple sessions with him - diving deep into the property analysis and through the negotiation process. We were amazed by his deep expertise and passion for real estate. Gary helped us buy our dream home and made us feel confident about the property. We feel we gained a long-term trusted advisor in Gary.

ZillowVERIFIED I hired Faith, part of the Gary Shapiro group at Keller Willams in Los Gatos, to sell an investment property in Campbell. It needed to sell it quickly because it was part of a 1031 exchange with a short-fused purchase on the other end. The townhouse was also occupied with a renter. Faith and Gary had the property on the market in two weeks and had 140 showing that weekend. The property was sold for more than 15% over asking and closed in time. Throughout the process Faith and Gary were extremely proactive, communicative, and attentive.

ZillowVERIFIED We recently had the pleasure of working with Faith and her team, guided by their broker, Gary, for the purchase of our new home. Throughout the process, their professionalism and dedication were evident. Their insights into the real estate market and the support provided during our home buying journey were truly appreciated. We're looking forward to their guidance on our upcoming renovations. For those in search of real estate assistance, Faith and Gary's team offer valuable expertise and genuine care for their clients' needs.

ZillowVERIFIED I cant speak highly enough of Faith as our real estate agent. She was wonderful to work with. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity and hard work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. She is detail oriented, friendly, honest, good with people and very responsive. We could not have done it without her. She is an excellent negotiator. Highly recommended.

ZillowVERIFIED Faith and I connected through Zillow when we started exploring the home search process and looking back I am so glad and pretty sure we wouldn't have found a better realtor. She was on top of things all the time, understanding our likes and dislikes so that we could quickly identify the property we loved. Her follow up was amazing during the negotiation process with the sellers. She was an excellent guide through the mortgage approval process connecting us with multiple banks and past acquaintances so that we got the best rate when interest rates were steadily going up. We closed on schedule and she is still helping us do some small fixes to the house before we move in. We are glad we found a great realtor and amazing friend in Faith and I would definitely recommend her to everyone.

ZillowVERIFIED After living in my home for fifty years I decided to leave the state and buy a home near my daughter. I needed a realtor who could understand the physical and emotional hurdles involved in such a life changing event. I had met Gary when he taught a real estate class for community interest and enrichment. I found him to be knowledgeable, experienced, and sensitive to individual needs and concerns. When it came time to sell my house, Gary and his team address all my concerns regarding listing, legal issues, downsizing, packing and moving. They did everything possible to relieve my stress and facilitate the process. The whole process went smoothly and my home sold at an optimum price. They definitely deserve five stars.

ZillowVERIFIED When it was time to sell our San Jose house, we went straight to Domenick Cava and Gary Shapiro. Right from the get go, they and the rest of the team walked us through every step, and set and managed our expectations well. They were masters at advertising our house. The staging, pictures, video, and website they created for us were outstanding. The way they handled interested buyers and our open house was superb. Their communication was frequent and timely, and their advise was always spot on. When it was time to review the top multiple offers they qualified, it was easy to pick the best offer for us. Buying and selling is a big life event that can create a lot of stress and anxiety. However, when you work with the best of the best, like Domenick and Gary, you can rest assured knowing top professionals are working on your behalf to ensure your happiness. I highly recommend them.

ZillowVERIFIED Sophie is a great agent. After we first met, she set up time to explain the whole buying process. Because of her effort and explanations, we were able to become much more educated and were able to navigate the supposedly confusing buying experience much more smoothly. Throughout the homebuying process, Sophie was always very responsive to our texts and calls, a fair amount of them happened late at night. And she didnt mind at all spending extra time making sure all our questions were answered. Sophie also gave us multiple contacts of trusted loan officers and handymen, both of which helped make our home buying journey much more effortless. Moreover, we were also helped by her husband Jimmy and her team(Gary) along the way, so it really felt like getting an entire elite team behind our back. I would highly recommend Sophie to anyone who wants to buy a home with ease.

ZillowVERIFIED Sophie and Gary were more than helpful in finding us a condo in South Bay. They were extremely honest, upfront, and were able to find us a great condo that fit right in our price range! They were extremely communicative and easy to reach to answer any of our questions at all times. We felt lucky to find Sophie and her team! Would totally work with them again!

ZillowVERIFIED Dom helped navigate us through our very first home purchase. In itself; is already a difficult process, add a pandemic and a super hot market to the mix. He had no issues helping answer any of our questions and also not afraid to give us advice in tough situations. I would have no problems recommending him and Gary to my friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIED Gary knows the area very well. He was very responsive and was able to explain to me all the little details that needed to be taken care of when selling my home. My favorite thing about Gary is that if you have an issue, he'll make sure it gets taken care of ASAP.

ZillowVERIFIED My fiancA(C) and I met Domenick through Zillow. He was the recommended agent when we saw a home that we liked. He was very cordial, funny, and easy to get along with. He advised us about market conditions and things to look out for as first time homebuyers. When he was unavailable, others on his team, Gary and Sophie, were very responsive. Once we found a home that we wanted to make an offer on Domenick walked us through the offer process and his team gave us some advice on where he thought the house would sell. They were spot on and our offer was accepted. I was pre-approved with both my bank and the lender that Domenick recommended. I ended up going with Domenick's recommendation and I'm very happy I did. The lender he worked with was able to get me the same rate as my bank, but went above and beyond during the loan process. I can't speak highly enough of Domenick, the rest of his team, and the people he recommends working with.

ZillowVERIFIED We had a great experience working with Domenick and Gary. Domenick kept things realistic, and even reminded us of what we wanted when we were considering making offers on houses we didn't really like. Both he and Gary were knowledgeable and helpful with getting offers together. On every offer we made, Gary's prediction of what it would sell for was spot on. After two years of searching, we found a great house for our family, at our price point, and in a neighborhood we like. We definitely recommend Domenick and Gary.

ZillowVERIFIED On all stages of the property purchase process Gary was extremely helpful and instrumental. It includes, but not limited to market research and properties assessment, HOA documentation analysis, negotiations, after purchase 'need to know' tips etc. Great communication and availability over phone and email all week days. Definitely would keep in touch and will recommend Gary to my environment.

ZillowVERIFIED Best in the business is an understatement with Gary and his team! It was my first time home purchase and Gary's experience helped me navigate the process 100 percent during COVID might I add!!! His professionalism was unparalleled and I wouldn't change a thing about the experience. There was ABSOLUTELY no way we could have done this purchase without him and his team!!! He even helped with issues with my mortgage company that came up along the way and helped come up with solutions that worked for everyone.

ZillowVERIFIED I have Gary as my real estate agent to help me find a single house in the Bay Area. I knew Gary via Zillow when he gave me the first phone call to schedule a visit to a house in which I was interested. After the initial meet-up, I already can tell that I could put 100% trust on Gary and his team as they are very knowledgeable, consistent, and professional.Gary is always on top of everything when it comes to competing offers, negotiation, and even when I did the signing at the escrow office. He also ensures that his customers have the most benefits out of any deal and I am very greatly appreciated all their help to get me my dream home with a good price. It took me about 8 months to land a house, I might be lacking behind at some point, but Gary and his team are always available and consistent to back me up.I would highly recommend Gary to anyone, including my family and friends. If you have chosen him, rest assured that you are in good hands and I give you the best of luck to find your dream home like I did.

ZillowVERIFIED We found Mr. Shapiro through a close friend to purchase our home. He is not only very knowledgeable, insightful, responsive, but also very trustworthy, genuinely kind and fun to work with. He was able to prepare a very thoughtful and competitive offer less than 48 hours after we identified the property. Thank you Gary!I would recommend Mr. Shapiro to all my family members and friends for theirs needs in real estate. We trust him and his service and will go to him again for our future needs!

ZillowVERIFIED Gary was a pleasure to work with. He helped me buy one house and sell another. Both transactions were extremely fast.Once I identified a promising house on Zillow, I contacted Gary to take a look. He got me in to look on the next available day and within three days he helped me make an offer, present a counter-offer against a competing buyer, and sign a purchase agreement with the seller.Gary helped me quickly prep my house for sale by enlisting a handyman, landscaper, and painter to address key problem areas. After Gary hosted an open house I received several offers which allowed us to close 47 days later, at my asking price.

ZillowVERIFIED Knowledgeable. Responsive. Experienced. Are all adjectives I would use to describe my business dealings with Mr. Gary Shapiro. I am compelled to add: honest, trustworthy and genuinely kind to the list. Zero issues or concerns. Every "I" dotted and every "T" crossed. We will insist on working only with Gary on all future real estate sales and purchases. And will refer him, with complete confidence, to our friends and family for all their real estate needs as well.

ZillowVERIFIED I live in, work in and play in a large real estate sales community so I have daily contact with the best of the best. I did not pick Gary because we have been friends for 30+ years nor did I pick him because I know and love his family. I picked him because I knew his work ethic, his communication skills and his ability to get the job done.I have been around real estate people since 1985 and I think I know the ingredients of a good agent. Gary is that agent, he is the real deal.

ZillowVERIFIED Gary knows current market conditions very well and is able to adapt a selling strategy that makes sense for those conditions. He sold our house in a very short period of time for well above asking price. He also has excellent resources to assist in getting your home ready for sale. We never had a problem getting in contact with him, he responds in a timely manner, and always answered our questions completely and honestly. I would have Gary as my agent again for any real estate transactions.

ZillowVERIFIED Gary and his team help me find my first house in 1991. I still live in it. I was looking for something very specific, and at a great price. This was pre-internet, so it meant getting long printouts and going over locations with a Thomas Guide (anyone remember those?). I eventually found the house, and Gary nailed the offer. Before moving in I needed a few things done like pulling out carpets and restoring the nice hardwood floors. Over the years I've been living here when I needed something like a new roof, painters, yardwork, etc. I'd ask for references. Pretty much went with every referral. When it comes time to sell this place, I'll be calling Gary. I have no hesitation recommending him.

ZillowVERIFIED Gary helped us buy our first home six years ago. He was extremely knowledgable about the townhouse market in our desired area (Sunnyvale/Santa Clara). He helped us determine the price range we could afford, tour many available properties, make a couple offers, and participate in a lottery for a new development. He was very patient with all of our questions, and he or his parter were always available to talk. I would definitely recommend working with Gary to buy a home.

ZillowVERIFIED We bought our first house with Gary's help and I don't think it ever would have happened without his expertise. He was so good that years later when it was time for a different house I went straight back to Gary and he worked the same magic for me. He is professional and super knowledgeable about my community (Sunnyvale). I would not go to anyone else but Gary. I highly recommend him and I know you will not be disappointed.

ZillowVERIFIED Gary is the ultimate real estate professional and not just an agent. He had been an invaluable guide to us from day one when we met him back in 2017. He is very honest and helped set the right expectations esp regards what to expect for our budget and what to expect as landlords. His professionalism and support continues well past the transaction. Anytime we have a need or a question we reach out to Gary. He has always helped us out be it with the property he helped us purchase or with others. I will whole heartedly recommend Gary.

ZillowVERIFIED When my wife and I moved into the area after living in SoCal for 18 years, Gary and his team helped us find the perfect home. Gary provided excellent communication and gave us sound guidance and counseling for the multiple bid/offer situation we were facing for the home we wanted. Gary and his team's expertise and follow through resulted in a smooth transaction that enabled us to find and buy the perfect home.

Review for Member: Gary Shapiro
ZillowVERIFIED Gary was my agent when I bought my first place. What could have been an overwhelming process was made smooth with his guidance. I felt I bought my place for a good price and never had second thoughts about what I paid. When it came time to move on (and now married), it was a no-brainer to reach out to Gary again. This time he represented us selling my place and buying the next one. The buying experience was great again, totally smooth even though we were one of a handful of people making an offer. I had even a greater appreciation for him in selling my house. Naturally, when you sell, you want to get the highest price you can and Gary took care of getting the right people in to make it as attractive as possible to potential buyers. From there, he deftly handled the offers, counter offers and we walked away with a sale we were happy with.

ZillowVERIFIED Gary is really honestly amazing. I dont write stuff like this for just anyone. I am a real client of his, we bought a house in san jose CA on almond blossom lane from him. Interestingly his house was on the same street.He came in with a lowish offer and the seller walked from him. We thought that was the end of it. Come a few days the seller comes back to him. Talk about an amazing negotiating leverage.We ended up with the house. Amazing price, amazing negotiation and terrific feeling all around. I would go back to Gary any time and would recommend him to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIED Gary represented me with the sale of a rental apartment building. The other agents involved wanted to accept an offer for a quick sale. But Gary felt that was too soon, and presented a marketing plan that they agreed to. The result was a bidding war of 7 agents that brought in a price way above what the other agents had recommended. Needless to say, I was delighted. Gary showed his people skills, his marketing knowledge, and his technical skills which brought about this great result for me.I often see Gary on local TV presented as an expert on the local real estate scene. He has a long record of many years of success in real estate.

We would never have known what we needed without him aEURoelisteningaEUR? to us.Gary is very professional, honest, and has high integrity. He has stepped in when sellers were not and held firm, protecting the sale and our interests.Thank you GARY!

ZillowVERIFIED When I needed to sell a home an attorney I was working with recommended Gary, saying she works with nobody else. After now working with him on two of my own sale transactions I unhesitatingly recommend Gary and his Shapiro Group to anyone looking for a great real estate team. From the initial walk-through until escrow closing they are always available to provide counsel and proactively take care of what needs to be done in the most professional way.

ZillowVERIFIED I bought the House being out of State. Gary was terrific. I often tell him that he is more than a Realtor as he treated as his family. He continued to support us for many months after the closing. He always did things he said he will do. and on timely fashion. He is very honest and supportive. In the very hot and difficult market to buy in that area, it is so nice to have people like Gary and his small crew that includes his son now and another partner to have the experience of the area, the computer skills of his crew and the excellent name he has earned with every one we met.I would say "If you want a trust worthy, nice experience in buying a Hosue in difficult Markets like San Jose, in my opinion, Gary si the best"

ZillowVERIFIED First time I met Gary was 5 years ago when I was looking to buy my first house. Before Gary there were few agents I talked to and I can just say that no other agent stands a chance what Gary brings to the table. He is the most knowledgeable agent I ever met. He would always do his homework before showing you any property. If by chance you go yourself to see an open house and ask Gary later on about that property, he will quickly have all the data in front of you to get complete analysis of the property. He does due diligence in finding a right house for you and most importantly he is very patient with his customers and extra patient with first time home owners because he completely understands how overwhelming it is for first time home owners. More importantly he is not the person you will never see after you have purchased the house. He is all ears and just a phone call away if you need any help. He is been helping me with any questions till now after 5 years. He will go length and breadth to help his clients. There is plenty more I can write but I think this is the gist. Definitely a great agent to pick.

I was out of town and Gary made a very challenging sale a painless process. He recommended the areas that needed some investment to show we'll, ever mindful not to waste money on unnecessary areas. He arranging the perfect staging, including an oft-neglected patio. It sold the first week above asking in a cooling market. Could recommend more highly.
