Everything was professional and above board, but his experience and guidance made the process feel far more approachable and comfortable than I expected as a first-time buyer. He offered thoughtful insight into the nuances of the process, communicated clearly and consistently, and helped me understand what really mattered at each step. Both my agent and the seller's agent were impressed, and we were able to get our offer accepted on the first home we pursued. Once you speak with Tuan, the difference is obvious. Highly recommend.

Recently, I tried to do refi and need to close this account. I was charged $691.50 for all the fees. Call them up and told I signed the disclosure doc. I guess it is my fault that I didn't read all the docs and I was never told that early closure fee either. So please be aware if you open HELCO with FB.

We have refied our original loan that Nelva helped us with, again through Nelva! Our…read morecircumstances were very difficult having had a short sale in our recent past. We found that other lenders were unable to deliver the kind of assistance we needed. Through Nelva and her underwriters, we were able to refinance our loan and get rid of our PMI in under a year. We called Nelva to see if she could help and naturally, it was a matter of a little investigation, but the criteria that needed to be met was rather easy for our particular situation. Nelva helped us through every step and explained anything we questioned. There was a little snafu in the end concerning closing costs. January 2015 regulations changed and the interpretation was vague. Allowing, it seemed, for lenders holding notes to request one thing and yet something else was suppose to be the rule. What ever the outcome was, Nelva held fast to what she told us, letting us know that if any extra cash was needed, her company would come to the table for us. WOW. Customer service at it's ultimate very best. Sticking by one's word is not the norm, especially in real estate. Excuses or exceptions are generally given. So needless to say and yet I'll say it anyway, Nelva and her company, Diversified Mortgage, are Extremely Honorable and Trust Worthy. If we find ourselves in the favorable position to refinance to a lower interest rate, Nelva is going to be the first person we call. Hands down, great job. Nelva Samiee is an asset and Diversified Mortgage is a fantastic company to do business with. So is the lender they set us up with. We couldn't be happier all the way around. Do you actually like making your mortgage payment? We do!

Nelva has magical powers. Yes. Yes, she does. Initially, we were working with the guy who…read moreusually handles our loans, but then he told us that what we wanted to do was impossible - buy a house and then sell our existing home. We knew it was going to be extremely difficult to sell first and then buy, as our toddlers make a mess of the house daily. There was no way we would be able to have nice "open houses" and sell our house prior to purchasing a new one. Our real estate agent put us in contact with Nelva and she made everything work! Nelva was fast, efficient, and friendly. I am pretty sure we have a record time for closing on the house that we purchased. It happened in a snap. Really. She is also very easy to contact, which totally helped keep the whole process feel a notch lower on the stress factor - a bonus when you're in the middle of trying to buy a house. Any time we had questions or wanted updates, we knew we could call, text or email. Her responses were immediate. She was amazing. If you are reading this review, you are done searching for the person who will help you with your loan. She is that person.

Sharing my experience with Amit Inamdar and Renuka Inamdar…read more These guys are fraud and would give all false information and misguidance , even they will offer you rebate which you will end up loosing Though i went as a buyer, all through (so called) "power hour with Amit Inamdar" (as they advt on radio), they tried to power me up to go for million dollar property that i clearly said no.I went to Amit Inamdar since radio advertise said he is certified negotiator , and I dont even got a dime negotiated , neither rebate. They again and again try to sell mortgage product which i was not interested in From the very first minute, I could not get answers to basic house buying questions and every time i have been asked to refer to recorded presentation of theirs. This childish play continued in later calls as well ,there was no effort made for clarifying client questions. Treating client respectfully is way too much expectation from this business I already had property selected and was looking for expert help on contract and negotiations with the seller.This duo did not do any market research and did not help me to save single penny. On top of it i lost any negotiation chance that i had due to their commission Renuka told me not to get any clarification for my genuine property related specific questions to seller since as per her it would upset the seller, lol, what a broker!!! After first ever only property visit Renuka did not returned my call, messages, email since she got herself registered for the commission. Renuka did not show up for final deal with seller which was decided week in advance.Her husband Amit called at the appointment time and asked to change the date Amit offered commission rebate in very first discussion which he denied at the closing and asked to sign a contract to stop my ability to review his business anywhere and on internet You may refer his email message here. To give agreed upon commission , he wants me to sign contract to not to review his business in public Amit Inamdar wrote "I do not want to have you bad month us, like you did and asked for 60% commission back. Settlement agreement covers what everyone wants. We need written agreement, to give agreed upon commission back. We need agreement in writing to avoid further issues." After my initial honest review on Yelp, he asked me take it down and accepted mishandling from his side Later he end up denying agreed rebate and insisted for above contract to be signed , no wonder why there are all negative reviews for him

A friend of my husband listened to Amit & Renuka's radio show and recommended them to us. At first, we weren't convinced about contacting a realtor, but after we met Amit and Renuka, we realized how much they bring to the table, how patiently they answered all our questions (even the ones we thought were silly!) We felt they were a good match for us and it was proved right away as our 1st offer was accepted. Their first time home buyer webinar was an eye-opener for us. The initial consultation with Amit was absolutely fantastic -- it helped us determine our financial reach, what we could afford. He helped us understand the Bay Area real estate market, what part of the Bay Area will continue to appreciate. His insights were invaluable in making us understand and navigate the neighborhoods. November 2015 was a very hot market and we knew we had to move pretty quickly since there were multiple offers for every home that went on the market. Amit & Renuka negotiated everything -- the price, terms, and contingencies. Since we were new and just starting our lives in the valley, we were extremely grateful for the help they provided. Renuka accompanied us for home showings and had a lot of knowledge about the neighborhoods. They also assisted and guided us on all requirements, paperwork, timeline as well as the tiny but significant details that we would have never known about if we hadn't reached out to them. They are extremely professional and they went well over and above what they were required to do. Renuka even stepped out on Christmas day to deliver the key to us -- we were extremely touched by her gesture! For these reasons, I give Amit and Renuka a 5-star rating. And I will highly recommend Amit & Renuka to everyone.
