Venkat is a very good negotiator. He was quick to respond, when I had questions. He came to all the meetings with the seller and provided valuable inputs on inspections and mortgage options. Overall, I was impressed and would love to work with him again.

— Jagathishp

Venkat is very professional and has tremendous knowledge in the real estate industry. He was always available to discuss and made time to visit the construction site several times during the course. I was looking at a new construction and had to wait for the property to be built.

Muthu has good knowledge about the community and understands the needs of his customers. He helped us sell our house in record time and followed up with the buyer and the agent until the complete closure. We received multiple offers and Muthu negotiated well and helped us decide on the buyer.

— Praveen

Venkat Muthu is a wonderful person to go with. Very friendly and advices as per the need and gives his service and support where and when needed and some times going beyond. Really happy to share the review and I highly recommend if anyone is looking for any homes.

— Alishetty

Venkat is great to work with as realtor. He is very patient and listens to the requests of the buyer or seller and doesn’t push as t any point of time. He has a good understanding of the market situation and location for investments as well. All this comes from experience with him recently buying a home.
