Nila is an outstanding agent! She helped us sell our home recently at 23.5% higher than list price. Her sound selling strategy came from years of experience and in-depth knowledge of the market and local conditions. She was able to position our home as a top choice for potential buyers with all the right preparation in place starting from upfront inspection, maintenance, necessary upgrades and the timing of when we took it to market. She was thorough in her homework and was extremely patient in understanding our requirements, worked around our limitations and made the whole process stress-free for us. We really respect her fairness, professionalism and transparency in closing the deals. We are returning customers (she has helped us buy our house earlier) and it is an understatement to say that Nila is a dream-come-true agent! We heartfully thank Nila and she is a champion in this space!

I am super thankful for Nila's knowledgeable, professional, and kind guiding presence through our homebuying process! She advised us and helped us through each step where we needed it. As a full-time working mom, having Nila in my corner made everything so much easier. Would definitely recommend her!

Nila was an amazing agent, speaking for my position and interest and always having me in mind. The search was extremely short because she understood what I was looking for and didn’t waste our time. She always listened even when I was wrong :) I love that quality of « customer obsession ». She guided me through every step of the purchase process, which was completely new to me for my very first home purchase, providing me with all the data I needed to look into, and answering all my questions going even beyond by sharing her point of view which was helpful more than once. She is knowledgeable beyond what is usually expected. Even during the inspection she had the knowledge to ask the right questions along side the inspector job, and he didn’t miss to highlight how she knew way more than average agents. She also knew so much about renovation that she was able to ask relevant questions to refine estimates given to me. I Couldn’t imagine such a great support and behavior as a single mom going through this on my own, I wasn’t alone anymore. Beyond normal ! Thank you again Nila and Windermere.

As first-time home-buyers, there was a lot unknown to us. Starting with location to the different house types, making us understand the pros and cons of each, Nila made the process so simple for us. We could not have asked for a better agent. And if we had to do this all over again, we wouldn't choose anyone other than Nila!
We started looking for a house around mid-June and closed on a house by mid-August. That shows the level of efficiency and dedication that Nila worked with. She made herself available and was so punctual right from day 1.
Maneuvering the process during COVID-19 seemed almost impossible but having Nila by our side made it easier for us to land our dream home in a record time.
If you want someone who can work with you, understand your needs and show you the best options out there, look no further. Coz Nila deserves 5 golden stars for her knowledge and dedication.

It was a pleasure to have Nila as our Real Estate professional. She was very helpful in guiding us through the purchase process. She has a great knowledge of the neighborhood we were researching in .My mortgage bank had a hard time to approve my loan due to my visa status. Even though it was not part of her job, Nila used her connections and help me to navigate the process until my bank finally approve my loan. I am glad that she helped me to salvaged the deal by closing it just in time. She is very professional and goes beyond her responsibilities. Highly recommended.

Nila has a pulse of the market and especially on homes that are sure to receive multiple offers. Nila structures offer to be extremely competitive.
I think that was the reason we were able to make the deal on the condo we purchased.

It was our pleasure to work with Nila Karekar. This was our fourth house that we had bought and or sold with a real estate agent. We had ventured into the market during both good and bad economic times and I had found the situation both stressful and an incredible amount of work.

I believe that the stress and the work are part of the reality of selling or acquiring a home. However in the past, I always found that real estate brokers were handling a commodity, factored into the commodity of course were certain basic needs: number of bedrooms; kitchen style; but they were not really working with us as a family. I approached things differently when it was time to sell our Sammamish house. I talked to brokers from several different agencies. It was not the size of the brokerage or their success in transactions that appealed but rather their interpersonal skills.

Then one day I found Nila at an open house.She was friendly, personable,attentive,interested in my goals and needs for the house. My husband also spoke with her and we new that when we were ready, she would represent us. In fact within weeks, we were in the process of getting the home ready for sale.

Nila was present for every step: assessing and making recommendations for upgrades to present the house in the best possible light; exploring options for us to store our belongings as we were having a new home built; suggesting and interviewing stagers for the home; acquiring weekly comparables for us; helping us to arrive at listing price; arranging for a building inspection;explaining closing; she was readily accessible by phone and she even offered to help with packing.

I learned very quickly that this sweet, caring woman knew her professional skills extremely well and had a remarkable set of assertion skills to network with all the auxiliary people involved in the transaction of our home. We felt we were in very competent hands.

I would recommend Nila to my family and friends without reservation.

I do have a comment about the stagers. I realize it is unfair practice to comment to you when I have not done so to them.We were not happy with their end product. I thought the quality was poor and pedestrian. However having said that, the house sold. However I wish to point out that Nila had to supplement from her own pocket as the items the stagers had available were inadequate or incomplete. Again, high praise for Nila.

We are grateful to have had the opportunity to have had Nila represent us.

It is our pleasure to recommend Nila Karekar as a real estate agent for any individual or family who are facing the task of moving to another state, a very unique situation. Nila was honest about some minor changes that we needed to make in our home to attract buyers quickly, and her advice worked quite well. We found Nila to be a highly attentive, almost as if we were her only customers, although we know that was not the case. She returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. She oversaw every aspect of our open house to include professional staging and photography. Her negotiations skills are what set her apart from others. At the completion we believe the buyers were as pleased as we were. We are pleased to recommend Nila Karekar to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We recently closed on a house with Nilambari and we had a fantastic experience. Nilambari was very thorough. She explained us the process to clarify our preferences and provided market info to set our expectations. When we started the search, Nilambari was very diligent with her background on the houses, things to consider and gave very good perspective to help us make the decision. But she always left the decision to us and never pushed us towards anything in any way. Once we had made the choice, she helped negotiate and secure the place. All in all, we had a great experience. We will highly recommend Nilambari and will definitely work with her again

We had the best experience selling our home! Nila laid out a clear plan of marketing our home. We felt very confident in her approach and attention to detail. She was always available for advice and information as we prepared our house for listing. We were impressed by the photographer and drone photography and stager she selected. Our home was presented in an even better light than we could have imagined. Her negotiation and analysis of offers helped us make our decision. She was recommended to us by a friend and she surpassed all our expectations

Nilambari is very helpful throughout the process. She made sure we got all the listings info as soon as they are available to her. Because of her prompt response, we were able to closed on the house with just one offer.

It was a random find when we first talked with Nila. She was handling an open house in Snoqualmie and we started talking about the process of purchasing a house and that we had just started looking. We decided to give a try with her, as we did not have any real state broker yet. It was a wonderful choice and I'm really satisfied with the entire process and the house.

Outstanding domain knowledge.
Very professional.
Organized and thorough with process and documents.
Great to work with.
Helped us take the stress out of the whole process.

Nila is the best! Hard working, thorough, and true of heart, she has an innate sense for what homes will suit you and will help you with navigating the ridiculous Seattle housing market. She goes beyond what most agents will do, works at all hours to meet deadlines, and digs deep when researching properties. Though we met by chance at an open house, she has easily become a trusted family friend. I highly recommend her as someone who will truly represent and help guide you in this housing environment!

Nilambari is an awesome realtor. Our experience in working with her to find our home was great. I would highly recommend her.

From the start, Nilambari listened to our wants and needs and suggested the appropriate homes for us. She explained the current market and every step of the buying process to us along with the strategy to get a home in this seller's market . During home showings, she explained the pros and cons of the features of the homes and tied them to our wants and needs. This helped us immensely in assessing the homes. Once we identified our home, she was very diligent, responsive and patient in researching certain issues with the city and the title company to make sure that we did not have an exposure to any risk on buying that home. She had a constant dialogue going with the listing agent which helped us strategise our offer effectively enough that we got the home at a great value. We had instant equity in our home even before we moved in. Right from recommending a great home inspector to keeping on top of the closing process with the lender and escrow company, so we could close on time, Nilambari made this buying process exceedingly smooth for us.

After handing over our keys she not only took care of and organized the house cleaning before we moved in and but also changing of all the locks for our family's safety. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Nila was really good and helpful in our home search. We had our first offer accepted. She was always available to look at homes and and to answer questions at time of the day.

We highly recommend Nila. She is very responsive. She has a lot of patience to answer all our questions throughout the process. We are very happy with our purchase.
