ZillowVERIFIEDWe are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by Shilpa Putchakayala during our home-buying journey! From our very first meeting, she demonstrated an unparalleled understanding of the local market and an incredible dedication to finding us our perfect home. Our dream was to find a house in the desirable Palo alto Leland Manor neighborhood and Shilpa not only made that a reality but exceeded all our expectations. She patiently guided us through every step, answering our endless questions as first time buyers, providing invaluable insights, and making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and exciting. Shilpas expertise in navigating the competitive market, her keen negotiation skills, and her proactive communication truly set them apart. She was always available, responsive, and genuinely cared about our needs and preferences. Thanks to Shilpa, we are now happily settled and cant wait to make millions of memories with our kids in this humble home in the most desirable location we could have ever imagined. We cannot recommend Shilpa highly enough to anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and truly outstanding realtor. She is simply the best!
ZillowVERIFIEDShilpa was a true partner for us in helping us buy our first home. She not only educated us deeply on the key things to look out for as buyers, she also spent extra time in helping us navigate the volatile housing market and guided us in making the right decision. She helped set up visits to prospective homes as many times as we needed and called out key home features/observations that most first time buyers may miss. She expertly advocated for us and made our entire buying experience a very positive and pleasant journey. She communicated really well and was available to answer our countless questions at all times. She is a true professional and an expert negotiator who looked out for our interests very well. I'd highly recommend Shilpa to anyone looking to buy a home in the area. She is truly the best!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe are very happy to have worked with Shilpa to buy our first home and highly recommend her! Shilpa was referred to us by a couple of my colleagues who had also worked with her when buying their homes, and we are so grateful to have gone with her. We spent a lot of time working with Shilpa due to an extremely challenging time period for home buying in the Bay Area - when interest rates were historically high and inventory was historically low. Despite the tough market, we never felt pressured by her. She was always extremely patient and took the time to understand our evolving criteria for the perfect home. Our favorite part about Shilpa was that she was consistently realistic and honest with us on pros/cons when we were evaluating a particular home, even with places we fell in love with or absolutely hated at first glance. She often highlighted things that could be easily upgraded and shouldnt be seen as drawbacks, but she never hesitated to be a aEURoeparty pooperaEUR? by calling out negatives that we hadnt thought about. Shilpa is an expert negotiator whose priority is securing her client's dream home at the best deal. She always put our interests first above anyone elses throughout this process. We went into this process knowing absolutely nothing about home buying, and she held our hand from the very beginning through when we finally got our keys! Shilpa is a gem upon a flooded pool of agents - we wholeheartedly recommend you go with her.
ZillowVERIFIEDShilpa helped us with our first home purchase in the Bay Area. In a highly competitive sellers market, she was a wonderful agent to have on our side, at every step of the process. She had a very systematic way of working with us, but at the same time put us at ease and answered all our queries - small and large. She was very generous with her time - she went over the first set of property disclosures with us - coaching us about what to look for. Right from planning our house tours, going over disclosures, determining what fixes were needed for each house and the offer process, Shilpa was meticulous and detail oriented. She left no stone unturned in providing us all the data needed to make an informed decision. She also made herself available at short notice to do house tours, and also very responsive on phone/text to our queries - however trivial! After we closed she even followed up with us to ensure that the repairs and other work needed on the house before move in were handled. Most importantly Shilpa is extremely friendly and personable. Its our privilege to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy realtor here in the Bay Area!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe had the pleasure of working with Shilpa during our home-buying journey, and I can confidently say that we couldn't have asked for a better realtor. Shilpa helped us find our dream home in a fraction of the time we expected. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our preferences and quickly compiled a list of homes that matched our needs. Throughout the property tours, Shilpa's knowledge was exceptional. As first-time homebuyers, we were new to the entire process, but Shilpa guided us every step of the way. She provided honest, unbiased opinions, weighing the pros and cons of each property, which made it easy for us to make well-informed decisions. Her professionalism and dedication went above and beyond. Even after we had finalized our home, Shilpa remained actively involved, helping us navigate the paperwork, addressing all the details about the property, and expertly handling the negotiation process. She even went the extra mile by continuing discussions with the seller's agent and securing additional concessions that we didnt even know were possible. Moreover, Shilpa provided us with a fantastic list of recommended lenders and contractors that were far better than any options we had found ourselves. Her network is truly valuable. In all, the experience was seamless, stress-free, and perfectly timed. We were referred to Shilpa by a close friend who had worked with her previously, and we are so grateful for that. Without a doubt, we would recommend Shilpa to anyone searching for their next home. She's the best in the business, and we feel lucky to have had her on our team!
ZillowVERIFIEDam so grateful for the outstanding service provided by Shilpa during the purchase of my new home. From the beginning to the end of the process, she was incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. Her patience and understanding made me feel at ease, especially as a first-time homebuyer. What stood out the most was her ability to explain complex real estate terms in a way that was easy for me to understand. Her guidance was invaluable, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe had the pleasure of working with Shilpa as our real estate agent, and we can't praise her enough. Shilpa's attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and exceptional patience made our home-buying journey a breeze. She consistently went above and beyond, not only in finding us the perfect home but also by providing leads for bank loans and closely following up with our chosen loan officer. What truly sets her apart is her commitment to helping us succeed. We had bought a tear down home. She generously shared contacts for reliable builders and took the initiative to visit demo houses, asking questions on our behalf, as we were new to the process. Shilpa's dedication and expertise are truly remarkable, and we highly recommend her to anyone seeking a top-notch real estate agent.
ZillowVERIFIEDI cannot thank Shilpa enough for being in our corner for this home sale transaction. She was insightful about the market trends and timing, advised us on the most important upgrades to make, and closed the transaction expeditiously to our satisfaction. From taking ownership of tasks when we were out of the country, and her resourcefulness in making the entire process of upgrades, staging and the transaction hassle-free for us, she was absolutely awesome all around!
ZillowVERIFIEDShilpa is an absolute rockstar agent. Thanks to her negotiation and comprehensive coverage, we were able to get into a beautiful home in a great neighborhood, without compromising our budget or preferences, and in a very informed way. She went over and beyond our wildest expectations--guiding, supporting, and ensuring our very best interest at all stages of the process (at times better than us). She is extremely knowledgeable on neighborhoods, and patient as we explored and bid on homes across the bay area. She was there whenever we needed her, despite being out of the country or on crutches post-surgery. Her communication style is on-point, informative, and comforting. She earned our trust, and watched out for us at all stages of the process, including selection, bidding, negotiation, at and post-closing in lining up appointments for service providers and inspections. We were extremely fortunate to have Shilpa as our agent and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. Do yourself a favor and connect with Shilpa.
ZillowVERIFIEDShilpa represented us as a buyers agent for our recent home purchase. Shilpa was fantastic all-around and helped immensely every step of the way throughout our home buying process, from suggesting areas and homes based on our interests, touring homes and pointing out subtle details that we missed, to following up timely with the lender, escrow, listing agents and upgrades through closing. We really appreciated her honest feedback for some of the houses that we were initially interested in, but decided to skip based on her comments and expertise. Shes highly experienced and knowledgeable with real estate in the Bay Area. Once we were under contract for the house, she went above and beyond during the closing process, from scheduling upgrades and contractors to constantly following up with listing agents and other formalities needed for closing. She got us an excellent deal in this crazy market with a price lower than listing price and with seller credits, and our home appraised for a lot more than the accepted offer. Shes very friendly and easy to work with, and the effort she puts into this entire process shows how passionate and dedicated she is to help people looking to buy/sell their home. We would definitely reach out to Shilpa for any future real estate transactions and highly recommend working with her.
ZillowVERIFIEDShilpa helped us close on a home in Redwood City recently and was a terrific partner start to finish! She was proactive, responsive, organized, knowledgeable and a very skilled negotiator -- everything you'd want in a real estate agent. Most importantly, Shilpa inspired complete trust and confidence - she was always focused on getting us the right house at the right price, and never rushed the process. Shilpa has our highest recommendation.

ZillowVERIFIEDI bought a home in Palo Alto that I am in love with ! All thanks to working with Shilpa! We were scouting for homes for almost 6 months and she worked diligently to get the right home with the right price. She is now a good friend too.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were introduced to Shilpa by my sister who has also recently bought a home with Shilpas help. On the day of our first conversation Shilpa sat an extra 2 hours explaining all aspects of a buying contract since my husband and I were very new to the entire process. From that point on she has guided us through every small and big step till the process was complete. She has been very patient, very supportive and has gone above and beyond to get us the house we wanted in the price range that we were okay with. She is a master of negotiation, so good that you literally just have to sit back and trust the process. In a time that people were bidding over asking, she was able to get us our home 50K below asking. If youre a first time buyer like us, look no further. She will not only help you pick the right home and negotiate but also does her own home inspection, assists with scheduling home related tasks (pest, inspection) guides on best lender to pick and also adds suggestions for repairs that the house might need. My husband are grateful for her hard work and expertise and give her our highest recommendations.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe do not have experience working with realtors previously (we are first time home buyers) but from everything that we heard from family & friends, Shilpa beats them all. She is an excellent partner to work with to get your dream house. The energy and passion that she brings isphenomenal and her negotiation skills are exceptional. She was always very prompt, on top of every task, extremely responsive and works with you like a family member providing all the input / perspectives but without forcing an opinion. That was something that me and my wife were looking for, to have the space for us to make the decision. It can be very challenging as first-time home buyers especially in the crazy housing market. Shilpa was always alongside to walk and guideus through the process. We can divide our experience with her into three major categories:1) Right neighborhood: We did our research for about six months before reaching out to Shilpa. Our minds were set on a couple of areas based on our criteria: good school district, safe area, bigger lot, etc. Talking to Shilpa, she brought other perspectives that we had not thought about. The input was very insightful and helped us to make better choices. 2) Guidance for bids: Several of the bids for the houses we liked were astronomically high. Shilpa always kept us grounded and did not let us get carried away with the market's bidding wars. At times, we wondered if we could ever find a house. Long behold, she not only found us a house in a much nicer neighborhood but negotiated the price (yes, in this crazy market). We probably saved $300-400k on it. 3) Closing: With the stock market tumbling, banks had changed their pre-requisites and we had to look for alternate lenders. Shilpa took it upon herself to help us find some. She reached out a number of folks in her circle to identify them. She was on top of the whole process making sure that nothing went side ways and that the closing went smoothly. Shilpa was with us every step of the way and definitely went above & beyond in many aspects. As we got closer to the end, she also helped us with getting the fumigation folks ready, connected us with a couple of contractors for repairs amongst many others. She has an attitude of not letting go and will can make things happen irrespective of what challenges may arise. I would recommend her to anyone within a heartbeat.
ZillowVERIFIEDAs first time home buyers we had no clue as how to take on the monumental task of searching for a home and actually succeeding in a very hot market such as the bay area! Shilpa was quite knowledgeable, detail oriented, persistent and also very flexible and adaptable to our schedules and needs. The process was long winded, given a very competitive market and without her guidance it would've been much harder for us to get a realistic sense of the market and what it takes to put in a competitive offer. Her years of experience in bay area real estate helped us get into in the right mindset, ultimately giving us an edge over others. She was also quite helpful in guiding us towards renovations, inspections and other future improvements we're planning to get done. She ultimately got us in on a nice home within our budget which we consider to be a great deal on a nice home!! Would definitely recommend her to prospective buyers in the bay area!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe found Shilpa via Zillow when we were looking to buy a new home, and I cannot stress enough that we lucked out by finding her. Shilpa was super responsive right from the get go, accompanied us to various listings and had some great feedback about the houses we were seeing (e.g. longevity on the kind of roof on the house, pointing out cracks etc that the seller had patched up), she also had great suggestions on which modifications would be easy to make in the home and hence should not be a blocker, called out resell ability of a house, - all of these are amazing to have in your realtor. This is our 2nd home purchase, and our last realtor did none of this. Given the old houses in the Bay Area - this knowledge and guidance is super duper important. The biggest selling point about Shilpa is how she is in constant touch with the seller agent to be in the know of how many buyers are interested, and even what sort of bids are coming in. This helped us save 200k-300k in the house we bought. We were ready to bid higher, but Shilpa was confident we can get this home in Sunnyvale only 10k above asking, and we did. When we were getting frustrated with the Sunnyvale market and began to look San Carlos, San Jose and Milpitas- while she supported us through it, she did urge us to wait and not give up yet as Sunnyvale was our preference. She was never pushy on bidding for the house, and really respected our preferences and decisions. Even after our sale, Shilpa went above and beyond to find us pest control, contractors for some remodeling work we needed along other things.I highly recommend Shilpa if you are looking to buy a home.
ZillowVERIFIEDHere is my fairytale story. My wife Anu and I were starting to look for properties in the Los Altos area and we visited a few open-houses in the weekends. There was one house in Covington Road that was sitting in mlslistings for more than 60 days, we wanted to view it, but we missed the open-house that weekend. We called up the listing agent and got a 4 pm appointment. Anu and I drove into the driveway and saw a Porsche parked there. That was Shilpa's and she was working for the listing agent of that property. She walked us around the house, explaining the pros-and-cons of the entire property: the good, the bad and the ugly. Her frank opinion of the property gave us the first impression that this agent can be trusted to give you an unbiased opinion of a property. This quality of hers appealed to us instantly. We did not bid for the property and we thought that that was the last we had seen of Shilpa.The following weekend, we visited many open-houses, and decided that we want to make an offer on a house in Mills Avenue. But, we did not have a buyers agent and we needed to find one quickly. Anu suggested that we contact Shilpa to be our buyers agent because she seemed trustworthy and reliable. After a few blind reference checks and a long phone conversation, she was our buyers' agent!I estimated my offer price for the Mills avenue house and it was below asking price. And we asked Shilpa to provide her independent estimate to us, and lo behold: her estimate was exactly same as mine! This showed that we were thinking alike: how to get the best value for the money that we were spending on a house. We made the bid for that house (below asking price) and we lost the bid. That did nt matter much, but what was more important is that our trust in her increased, because she was trying to get the best value for us.A few weeks later, our offer for a house was accepted. Shilpa helped us with all the paperwork. She advised us on lenders without being pushy at all. She helped us with finding movers, finding handymans for minor touchups, etc etc. She went far and beyond of what is expected of a buyers agent. Simply superb service.I have already recommended her name to two of my friends who are thinking of buying a house. If I am in the real-estate market again, Shilpa will be our agent no doubt!
ZillowVERIFIEDShilpa is a great agent and would recommend her to anyone that is looking for an agent and would work with her again. She has helped us sell our condo and got a very good price for it. The selling process was smooth and very professional. She was always available to answer any questions that we had. She had great recommendations for photographers, property inspectors, etc which were handled without any issues. When it came to reviewing the offers, she had very good advice and never pressured us into accepting.If you are thinking of selling or buying a house you cannot go wrong with Shilpa. We are very happy to have worked with her.
ZillowVERIFIEDShilpa is wonderful agent, very humble and very professional. She helped us for almost 6 months to find our homes. She provided us valuable feedback on valuation , location and condition of the property. She did not try to sell us but rather took our preference to look for homes for us. We bought our current home with her as an agent. I will be happy to work with her again if need be.
ZillowVERIFIEDShilpa was very supportive and patient throughout the entire search for a new home. Sometimes the search came to a halt but she was never pushy. I appreciate her honesty and she is always there for us to answer questions before and after the purchase. Thank you Shilpa!
ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I were looking to buy our first home in the Bay Area and connected with Shilpa through an online search. We could not have found a better realtor to help us through this very complicated and stressful process! Shilpa was extremely responsive from Day 1 and took the time to understand what we were looking for. We ended up making an offer on a house 4 days after we met her but even in this short span of time she helped us see multiple homes in different locations so we could get a better idea of what was available and be confident of the decision to make an offer on the house we liked. Shilpa was constantly in touch with us and explained each part of the process patiently. She worked on creating multiple offers for the house and when we got into a bidding war, negotiated well with the buyers agent to ensure we won the bid. The lender we worked with was not great and it was a stressful few days in the run up to closing. Shilpa went above and beyond to not only to constantly communicate with us and help us understand the various options we had, but also keep following up with the lender on the status of the loan. She also worked closely with the escrow agents and buyers agent to make sure we were all prepared to have an expedited closing. We felt very supported by Shilpa the entire time, not just as a realtor but as someone we could rely on as a friend. Even after moving into the house, Shilpa has continued to be in touch to make sure we feel settled in and have the right contacts for any additional services we need for the house. Shilpa has a great work ethic and is committed to seeing her clients confident and happy with the purchase they have made. We recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking to buy a house.
ZillowVERIFIEDShilpa helped us buy our second house. She helped us navigate through pros and cons of different neighborhoods and helped us make informed decisions about choosing the neighborhoods to focus on. She was very patient with us through out our search and never pushed us into making decisions quickly.Shilpa is a skillful negotiator and was able to get us a good price even in this crazy seller's market. After the offer was accepted, she helped us get in touch with good lender and the process was very smooth. All through the closing day, Shilpa was involved and helped us line up everything so that we could move in easily.Overall, I found that knowledge Shilpa has over the region is unmatched. I have worked with few real estate agents in the past and Shilpa has been the best. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy/sell a house.
ZillowVERIFIEDWere writing this review on the very day that we receive our keys to our new home. Our family and friends had told us that as first time homebuyers, the process could be arduous, but our experience was smooth sailing because of Shilpas expertise. From our first meeting with her, Shilpas profound knowledge about this often dizzying market and her well-researched insights into the specific property that we fell in love with put us at ease. She was even more protective of our budget than we were and safeguarded a true investment from what could have become an overly emotional purchase. Shilpa worked up multiple bidding strategies and negotiated for us like a chess grandmaster. Before our offer was submitted among multiple bids, she had built rapport with the listing agent so that our offer was packaged inside an established relationship of trust. We even heard through the grapevine that the listing agent flat out said that we won the competition because of Shilpa. For closing, she introduced us to a team of skilled and responsive professionals from our lender to our home warranty issuer. Throughout the thirty days, Shilpa helped us to stay on track with a detailed timeline so we didnt miss a single step. She was always quick to reply to every single question we had, and she often made herself available on calls with other parties involved if we knew that we may encounter a term or a process that we didnt understand. aEURoeAsk ShilpaaEUR? was a commonly used phrase between us for a few weeks! When we decided to have some work done in our new bathroom, Shilpa went the extra mile to arrange and attend meetings with contractors and provided guidance on selection until we chose the right team for our project. All the while she gave time- and money-saving recommendations without any pressure about items ranging in size from appliances to quarter rounds. While our experience with Shilpa was as first-time homebuyers, she most certainly advocates for buyers and sellers at all rungs of the property ladder. When we are ready for our next rung, we know we will turn to each other with smiles on our faces and say, aEURoeAsk Shilpa.aEUR? A dream was realized today, a dream that very possibly wouldnt have yet come true without Shilpa.
ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I were first-time homeowners. Buying a home is a big commitment, and searching for a home we love for the right price was a challenge. Shilpa was extremely patient in helping us through every step of the process. She gave us lots of information on home mortgage, helped us find good candidates and visited all the properties with us. She gathered all the information about the homes, helped answer all our questions, went through all the paperwork with us, communicated with the sellers' agents and negotiated a good price for the home we purchased. Her work ethnics and attention to details impressed us the most. We recommend her wholeheartedly. Thanks, Shilpa!
ZillowVERIFIEDThis is a long overdue Review for the excellent service we received from Shilpa. To make a long story short, we were looking for a home in the South Fremont area (Weibel). This being our second home purchase, we had some prior experience dealing with realtors and mortgage consultations. The experience not being that great, we decided to look for a new realtor.We were introduced to Shilpa by a mutual friend. I met with Shilpa in November of 2018 and discussed the requirements for our home. Shilpa promptly began the process of showing us homes. She was very patient with us and did not pressure us into a making a quick/hasty decision. Given that the home purchase it the biggest one that we all make, I wanted to take my time and make sure that all requirements were met. After seeing multiple homes over a period of 6+ months, Shilpa was able to find us a dream home. She got us in touch with a mortgage broker who offered a really low interest rate. And best of all, her amazing negotiating skills resulted in us getting an offer accepted that was well below the asking. Doing so in South Fremont is definitely a commendable task. Overall Shilpa is a perfect mix of poise, knowledge while making sure the process of home buying is not daunting to the point were it is almost seamless. It's been close to 6 months since we have been enjoying this dream home and we definitely have a lot to thank Shilpa for.I would highly recommend Shilpa to anyone in the market for a new home. You will not be disappointed !!
ZillowVERIFIEDIt has been a great experience working with Shilpa. She has taken good care of us, the first time home buyers, all the way from explaining the whole process through to the move in and much beyond. She goes into details as necessary without daunting us with the nitty gritty. She's very responsive to emails, messages and phone calls. She provided us with multiple contacts in lenders, contractors, movers etc. She has been very patient with us and gave us ample time to look and find what we liked. She is also very aware of the market and how it is going, and really good with negotiations. She helped us look through our inspection reports and disclosures, and recommended any repairs that may be needed for each option that we were interested in. We really liked the ease of electronic communications.She worked tirelessly through the bid process to escrow, and she kept all the other involved parties on track.We are very pleased and looking forward to be working with Shilpa again in future.She is professional, efficient, hard working. We would highly recommend Shilpa to all our friends and family.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe had a lot to consider before closing on the house like location, price, schools etc. and Shilpa guided us like a charm through this complex process. She spent enormous amount of time with us explaining each and every item in the disclosures to really help us in making an informed decision on the house. When we eventually closed on the house to bid, she collected comprehensive comparables of nearby houses and evaluated all the numbers for us. Even after closing the house, she regularly followed up with us till the time we moved in to ensure that part of the process is also smooth for us.We highly recommend Shilpa to our friends and family members looking to sell or buy their home.
ZillowVERIFIEDShilpa was very knowledgable about trends in the housing market and helped us decide the major remodeling efforts required to make the house move-in ready. She was able to line up contractors for the work at competitive rates and ensure that quality work was done. She has a very good eye for detail and helped us with the upgrade process from start to finish.When it came to put house on the market, Shilpa was able to arrange for excellent staging and photography work to be done to really make an impression. She is hardworking and always available to answer questions, explain matters in all areas of selling from advice on market conditions, timing of sale, planning for tax impact, negotiating for best price etc. Shilpa's advice on upgrades and timing to list has helped us sell our home significantly over our expectations. Her work ethic and integrity are always working towards you as a client and it gives you a great deal of relief to know she keeps your best interest in mind always. I highly recommend Shilpa to anyone looking to sell or buy their home.
ZillowVERIFIEDShilpa helped us buy the home. She provided very good services in the process. She helped to contacted multiple loan agencies to allow us comparing the rates. At last, we got a very good rate and the loan processing is very professional. She also helped us to get information about the details of the home from the seller.

ZillowVERIFIEDShilpa was our realtor when we sold our house in ardenwood area of fremont few days ago. Throughout the sales process Shilpa updated us about the next steps, what to expect etc. At the start of the process, Shilpa did a great job in picking the right stagers who staged the house beautifully. She also made great suggestions on things to remodel or replace that enhanced the visual appeal of the house. She brought in her contractors who got our house ready in very short time and allowed us to put the house on market at our desired time. During the offer review process, she worked with us to get the right offer to our satisfaction. She was open, honest, and transparent throughout the process. Once we accepted the offer, she kept us updated about appraisal, loan, and escrow progress.
ZillowVERIFIEDBuying a home can be an exciting, but stressful journey. My wife and I had a lot to consider in terms of location, price, house size, schools, etc. We were very lucky to have Shilpa as our agent to help guide us through this complicated process. She has a fantastic knowledge of real estate trends, such as which areas were rising up in value and which districts would continue to get better in terms school scores. When we were finally ready to bid on a house, Shilpa was quick to get us comparables of nearby homes and taught us how to evaluate what all the numbers meant. She has a great eye for seeing the potential of any home. She even helped us crunch the numbers when comparing a fixer upper vs a move-in ready home, and on how adding a room could increase the value of our house.Every person looking for a home will have different concerns. One of the best qualities of Shilpa is that she can evaluate her clients, figure out what stage they are at in their home buying process, and then cater our home search accordingly. Then, as we moved forward and learned more, we understood better all the parameters we needed to compare. And, we felt more confident in case we had to take on a bigger remodeling job, or in case we had to adjust our bids. Also, along the way, we found that Shilpa has a wealth of good contacts, such as loan agents and general contractors. They also gave us a lot of good information.My wife and I are very happy now in our new Fremont home and we would highly recommend Shilpa Putchakayala.
