Selling310 - Ali Eftekhari, Broker

We met with Ali to discuss the sale of our family home in PV. From the moment we sat down with him, we knew that we could trust him. When speaking with him, we felt like we were dealing with a real and honest person, not a pushy salesperson. He is very familiar with the South Bay, the local market conditions and what was listed and had sold in the area. He answered all our questions and guided us to a price we were comfortable listing at. After we had discussed the details, Ali went over the contract and walked us through the entire process to help us fully understand all the fine print. Two days after meeting with Ali, our home was listed with great descriptions and beautiful pictures. We immediately began getting calls to show the home and in under a week we had multiple offers. By the end of week two, we were in escrow, well above what we listed the home for. We had a very smooth escrow and in less than 45 days, our home was sold! He is now helping us find a new home for our growing family and we are off to a great start. I look forward to writing a follow up review for the home we are shopping for. We would definitely recommend Ali to anyone looking for a family Real Estate Broker. We have found our Broker for life.

I had used Ali's construction company to remodel my home last year. During the remodel, Ali told me that he was also a real estate broker and that he could help with any home sales or purchases in the future. After the remodel was done, I felt comfortable, and trusted Ali enough to have him list my home. Because of my past experience with Ali, I had no need to interview other agents and considered him a friend. I called him up and told him, that I wanted my house to be listed. He showed up with the market analysis, the contract, and the flyers and MLS listing all prepared and ready to go. We reviewed everything and I signed on the dotted line. That was the only step I had to take. We walked through the house and he gave me a small list of things to take care of, and told me he would be back after the To Do list to take pictures. It took a couple of days to remove some pictures off the wall, move some furniture around. Ali came by 3 days later with professional camera equipment and took pictures and the house was listed the same day. We listed the house on Monday and by Sunday we had multiple offers. He advised me on who to counter and how. We sent out the counter offers on the next Monday with a deadline for Thursday. Once the counter offers came back we had two similar offers. We reviewed them and ultimately chose the offer which was ready to close. Escrow was short, and problem free and I sold my house for more than I had expected thanks to Ali's guidance I know I have found my real estate broker and contractor and will be working with him and referring him to family and friends for years to come

I was referred to Ali by a friend who had bought a home through him in the past. From the moment we met, I was confident that Ali knew what he was doing. He helped my clean the place up, showed me what the homes in the area had sold for in the past couple months and what was available. He explained how much my home was worth based on actual market sales and guided me through the process. I was worried that I wouldn't get offers or it would sit on the market for a long time, but I quickly realized these would not be issues. We had multiple agents show the property in the first week and received multiple offers. He helped me understand the positives and negatives of each offer and I finally selected a strong offer that was above my list price. It took 49 days from listing my home to closing escrow. We opened escrow quickly and Ali made sure to keep me updated through the entire process. Even when my home owners was taking their time providing the necessary documents, he made sure to call them multiple times a day and make sure everything went smoothly. I was expecting the sale of my condo to be a tedious ordeal, however Ali made it a smooth and pleasurable experience. I would definitely work with Ali again and would recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

I was really nervous and stressed out about having to try and sell my home so quickly and really needed someone to come in and just get it done, Ali did just that! I couldn't believe how easy he made the process and how quickly he made it happen. He always answered my questions within a few hours making me feel like a priority even though he very obviously had many other listings! Not mention, I find out he is a General Contractor and he ended up helping me clean up the house! I would highly recommend him to family and friends!

I found Ali through Angie's List. He was one of three realtors we interviewed for the job. The thing that impressed us the most about him was that, while the other realtors tried to scare us into listing our home quickly, Ali recommended waiting to see what a pending sale and another home on the maket would do. If the one closed higher than the list price or the other changed to pending at the list price, it would justify a better price for our home. We took his wise advice. The house for sale went into escrow at a great price and we decided to have Ali sell our home. It was clear from the beginning that he would use every technological tool available to sell our home for the best price possible and never hesitated to follow up with agents who had shown the property. Our home did not have many comps because of it's relatively large backyard and extra bedroom compared to similar aged town homes in the area. When agents questioned the Iisted price, he would explain to them why he thought it was fairthey would listen to his arguements and would ultimately agree with him. He was always available to answer questions and walk us through the complicated escrow process involving VA approval of our HOA. He clearly laid out our options at each step of the way and readily gave us an honest opinion when asked. I am convinced that without his market and technological savvy, we would have not gotten enough for our home, to make it worth selling. Likewise, once we opened escrow, we were anxious to start looking at homes to buy, knowing that the market was climbing. He again, recommended that we wait until escrow was further along because an offer contingent on selling a home would to be competitive. We did. Once escrow was close to closing though, he met with us, assessed our preferences and priorities. Since location was a big deal to us, he created a unique spatial search parameter for us! After just one week of looking he helped us put a lowball offer in on a property that met all our high priority preferences and then, by talking with their agent, analyzing the comps, and continuing to search for other listings, helped us submit a counter offer, stll under list, that was ultimately accepted! We are now entering the escrow process again (from the other side this time) and I have no doubt that Ali will be there at every step of the way to calmly answer all of our questions, concerns, and crazy "what ifs". I would rrecommend Ali to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the South Bay. I would also hire him again, without hesitation, if we are ever in the market for property again!

We needed to relocate and we initially found 3 agents to meet with in order to list our home. Ali was the second agent we met with. He was very honest and to the point. When we met he came prepared. He showed us what the neighborhood home values were and what we could reasonably expect. As any homeowner would, we wanted to list at the high and leave a little room to negotiate however Ali advised us against that and explained that we would be better off if we priced to attract attention. We felt that Ali really knew what he was talking about and wasn?t trying to ?sell? us, so we decided to go with him and signed the paperwork. Sure enough with in the first 4 days we had multiple offers including two offers that were actually hire than what we originally want to list at. Ali went over the offers with us and explained the pros and cons of each. We accepted one of the two higher offers a week after we listed the home. We opened escrow and Ali was right there to explain the entire process for us. The best part was that Ali had already taken care of all the disclosures and paperwork that needed to be signed by us and had already told us to get the termite inspection done prior to us accepting the offer. As soon as we opened escrow we sent all the paper work for to the buyer?s agent. We received a few additional forms to sign and we were ready to close escrow. Over all we were able to list, sell, and move in 45 days. Ali even referred a great moving company that helped us pack the house up and move everything. When we set out to get started we never expected the process to go so smoothly. Through the entire process we did not have to call Ali a single time to check the status of a single thing. He kept us in the loop and aware of everything we needed to know. Everything went absolutely perfectly to our amazement and we have already referred a few family members to Ali.

We haven't listed because we have been working on things since March when we had originally hoped to list. It has taken a little more time than we thought. Other agents have shopped us. At the time we decided to go with Ali we interviewed three and we are still getting shopped. We are very comfortable and Ali is our guy. So far we have nothing but good things to say. They have been absolutely responsive.

We decided to list with Ali and are very glad we did. During our first meeting, Ali already had flyers printed and ready to distribute, had reserved a website for our house and he even included new pictures of our house for the flyers he had prepared. All the paperwork had been completed and everything was ready to go. The house was put on the market that same day and we began receiving calls. After just a week, we had already received several offers. Ali helped us review the offers weighing the pros and cons of each. Finally we decided to go with the 4th offer we received. Ali notified the other agent that their offer was accepted and we were ready to open escrow. I was worried that this was going to be a big deal, however it really wasn't. Ali had all of his paperwork in order and even helped the other agent with his clients. Ali promised us a 30-day escrow and sure enough on the 27th day the loan was funded and escrow had closed. Along the way Ali also helped us with the relocation and the moving process. The entire time we worked with Ali we were never confronted with an "issue" that we needed to resolve. It was truly smooth sailing and I know the next time we are in need of an agent, Ali will be my number one choice.

I met with Ali on a Monday and discussed what I was looking for. Ali took careful notes, answered all my questions, and told me he would find the homes which met my needs and that we would be able to see them that weekend. During the remainder of the week he guided me through the process of getting qualified and obtaining a pre-approval letter. When the weekend came we went and viewed the homes he had found for me, after viewing 3 other condos I decided that the fourth condo was the one for me. That Sunday afternoon we submitted an offer on the 4th condo and waited for the sellers response. With a few minor adjustments to the terms my offer was accepted and we opened escrow the following Wednesday... During the next week Ali helped me get the property inspected, and explained what I should expect in the next thirty days. Even when the escrow company dropped the ball Ali was there to follow up and resolve any issues that came up. Less than a month after the offer, Ali accompanied me to the escrow office and we signed the final paperwork. I have been in my new condo for four months now and I love it. I have recommended Ali to many of my friends and look forward to working with him in the future.
