It was a chance meeting. My wife and I were not earnestly looking for a home but an accidental submission on Zillow and a initial call with Rupi, not to represent me but merely to show me around and answer any questions I may have.
I am not the kind of person to usually leave lengthy reviews, but, this is one occasion where I feel I need to leave a review for anyone else who may be feeling like they may be indecisive on an agent.
Shortly after our initial call I started casually looking for a home. I was honest and upfront with my intentions that I was not serious at this time but wanted to get an idea of what the Riverside community has to offer. It didn't matter to Rupi that I was not going to be a client in the near future. This is a guy that went above and beyond the call of duty to show me around, take me to homes and explain the process. This went on for over 3 months sometimes 5 days weekly. We visited many homes and then one day I asked him - Why do you take me around and invest so much time? I haven't found a home in 3 months that I like, yet you never get frustrated. In fact your are always so jovial and go out of your way ALL the time. That was when he first mentioned.. "Tony, I am all about building relationships"...
And that indeed he did. Rupi is a professional, knowledgeable in what he does and is very, very dedicated. He is Personable (with a emphasized P). I have used a realtor before to purchase my second home and there is a clear difference in the way Rupi approaches his trade. I felt that he advised me sometimes, against what my brain process was thinking then explained why he thinks the other way or method was better - in the end I usually would shake my head and realize..."wow, I didn't think of it that way - your are right"
I did find a home and encountered a very difficult seller and agent. Rupi was able to navigate the channels, make the necessary pushes and in fact over communicated the issues and was able to resolve every single aspect of this tense phase. The seller eventually accepted and my Wife and I now own a home in Riverside.
Without a shadow of a doubt, If I have any need to purchase a home, sell my current home or even ask a question, I feel I can always reach out to Rupi. In his words... He is doing all of this to build relationships...
Well, Indeed he has. He definitely built a relationship with me and I can't imagine a better Real Estate Professional out there.
Thanks Rupi for a Job well done!!! read more
