We have had the pleasure of working with Surjit for over 15 years. During that time, she has helped us buy three homes and sell one, and there is no one else we would trust with our real estate needs. Surjit consistently goes above and beyond to provide exceptional service. She works incredibly hard, puts in long hours, and is always available whenever we have questions or need guidance. She is extremely approachable and treats us like family, making what can often be a stressful process feel comfortable and reassuring. What truly sets Surjit apart is that she is a tireless advocate for her clients. She is always batting for us during negotiations, looking for every opportunity to save us money while protecting our best interests. We always knew she was looking out for us, not just trying to close a deal. Her professionalism, honesty, market knowledge, and unwavering dedication have earned our complete trust over the past 15+ years. Having successfully helped us buy three homes and sell one, Surjit has been an invaluable partner through some of the biggest decisions in our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely cares, works tirelessly, and always puts her clients first.

It is with great gratitude that I recommend Surjit Kaur Grewal.  Having worked with her twice over the past decade, I can confidently say she is far more than a realtor—she is a trusted advisor, advocate, and now a friend of our family. From the start, Surjit set herself apart by putting our needs first. She never pushed for a quick sale but instead guided us toward homes that were both smart investments and a true fit for our family. She steered us away from properties with hidden drawbacks—busy roads, poor schools, freeway noise, structural problems or neighborhood concerns—always with honesty and care. Her willingness to “scold us” when we leaned toward a bad choice showed her genuine concern for our long-term happiness. The search itself could have been exhausting, but Surjit’s energy and positivity made it enjoyable. We saw countless homes, and she remained patient, enthusiastic, and determined. Her persistence paid off when she secured us perfect home for our family and amazing investment with her unique and sharp communication skills, was beyond our expectations.  Where Surjit truly shines is after the deal is signed. She arranged inspections, pushed for repairs, and even negotiated a brand-new roof for us—making the contractor redo the work until it met her high standards. She also coordinated cleanup, chimney removal, and connected us with excellent contractors, proving her value well beyond the sale. She even helped us close in just two weeks by introducing us to the right lender. This is the second home Surjit has represented us to purchase, and the experience has been just as outstanding as the first. Several of our friends have also worked with her, and all echo the same praise: she delivers results, cares deeply about her clients, and goes above and beyond every single time. In short, Surjit Kaur Grewal is the realtor you want in your corner. She combines unmatched market knowledge, relentless dedication, and genuine care for her clients. We recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for not just an agent, but a true partner in the home-buying process. Sincerely, A very grateful client: Rohit and Shobi

We are writing wholeheartedly to endorse Surjit Kaur Grewal as an exceptional real estate agent. She worked with us patiently over an extended period until we found a home that met our expectations in terms of condition, price, and size. Surjit consistently advised us against purchasing properties that were overpriced or had unfavorable aspects, always keeping our best interests at heart.

Surjit was instrumental in helping us find the perfect home in a challenging market. Unlike many agents who focus solely on closing deals, she prioritized our needs, ensuring that we found a home that was truly the right fit for us.

Her deep knowledge of Bay Area local markets, quality of construction, new home builds, remodeling practices, and materials and fixtures was invaluable. This expertise empowered us to make informed decisions at every step of the process. She offered honest, insightful feedback and never pressured us into a purchase until both we and she were confident that the property was a great fit.

One of Surjit’s greatest strengths is her responsiveness and professionalism. She was always available to answer our questions, responding quickly to emails and phone calls, and addressing our concerns with clarity and efficiency. Her dedication, integrity, and patience throughout the process were truly commendable.

Additionally, Surjit is a skilled negotiator. She worked tirelessly to secure the best possible deal for us, successfully advocating for our interests and convincing the seller to agree to favorable terms. Her ability to represent her clients with professionalism and respect is a testament to her longevity in the industry—and a major reason why she receives so many referrals. We ourselves were referred to her by one of her past clients.

Surjit possesses all the qualities that make a great real estate agent: expertise, professionalism, honesty, and a client-first, mindset.

 

Based on our experience, we confidently and wholeheartedly recommend Surjit to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Working with her is truly an exceptional experience.

I am delighted to write this letter of recommendation for Surjit Grewal. We have had the pleasure of working with Surjit twice during our home-buying journey, and each experience has reinforced our admiration for her exceptional skills and dedication. Surjit is an independent woman of grit and extensive experience. Her profound knowledge of the real estate market and her ability to negotiate effectively ensured we always got the best deals. Surjit’s commitment to her clients is unparalleled; she goes above and beyond to meet their needs and genuinely cares about their satisfaction. Surjit knows the streets and neighborhoods like the back of her hand. We jokingly refer to her as a personified Google Maps because of her in-depth knowledge of the Bay Area. She is patient and perseverant. Her network to recommend you a roofer, electrician, or any relevant contractor is superb. In our most recent purchase, Surjit’s strategic approach and attention to detail secured a deal that exceeded our expectations. She tirelessly worked late hours and provided constant updates, making us feel valued and supported throughout the process. Surjit consistently prioritized our needs over her own. Surjit’s integrity, reliability, and warm demeanor have earned our trust and confidence. She is not just a realtor but a true partner in the home-buying process. We wholeheartedly recommend Surjit Grewal to anyone seeking a dedicated and empathetic realtor.

Surjit helped my husband and I to purchase our first home and we really can’t say enough good things about her. We thought we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted in a home and understood the home buying process, but soon after beginning the search with her, we realized how much we could learn from her. Working with Surjit exceeded all expectations, and we are incredibly grateful for all the time and expertise she shared with us. She is a person of her word and always followed through, willing to go out of her way to show us a house. As first time buyers, we had a long list of questions and she addressed each one patiently and thoroughly. She is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with her time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends over the course of several months). She reviewed every form and explained every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Not only was she dedicated to helping us find the best home for us, but she also simultaneously assisted us to secure the right lender, all the while setting realistic expectations and guiding us through every step of the process. We felt tremendously grateful for her guidance and nearly 28+ years of expertise as we navigated the sometimes stressful process of buying a home for the first time. Despite any setbacks, she continued tirelessly to secure a contract for the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. To say that buying a home in this competitive market is challenging would be an understatement. However, with Surjit beside us as our advocate, we were able to close escrow on a house that went from being a wish list to being our home where we will make so many of our future memories together. We placed our trust in Surjit and she went above and beyond the call of her duty as a realtor and treated us like her family. We will be commending her and sending anyone we know in the market for a home her way for years to come!

Just bought our first property in the Bay Area and we are deeply appreciative of how Surjit helped us find our dream home. We were referred to her by a close friend of mine, who also had a great experience buying through her. Surjit was very patient throughout the process and helped us understand everything about home buying (since we were first time home buyers in the Bay Area). Surjit was very attentive to our list of requirements and needs for the home. We searched with her in several locations and she helped us make several competitive offers while being very conscious of spending our money. She read and reviewed the disclosures with us and made offers accordingly while advising us about the work and expense needed for each property. She was very patient with us and we were never rushed to buy any property. While showing houses, she told us the pros and cons of each one, not to mention the odd hours she would go with us to visit properties. She normally would visit the house before taking us there to determine if it would fit our preference. Her attention to the details is simply amazing (credit to her 28+ years of experience). She gave lots of input and suggestions on every house that we visited and was spot on to give an estimate for any repair work or upgrades to be done. While working with her, we experienced that she is an excellent negotiator. She got us the house notably below the list price and comparable sales and surprised us by getting us cash back for repairs too. We ended up buying a house in a great location, easy commute and the schools we wanted, all below our target price. Surjit was very supportive in reviewing everything about the property and was always clear and realistic about the condition of the home and its price. She paid close attention to what was not disclosed and helped with additional inspections and got us credit from the seller for those items. She was also very helpful in putting us in touch with her contacts for the upgrades that we planned to do, and her contacts were very responsive, reasonable and started work without delay. I can keep on going, but in a nutshell, she is someone who will hunt for the kind of property you need and will help you to select the best one that has most of the qualities and features you are looking for. She works with you like her own family member and ensures you are 110% satisfied. Her honesty and sincerity to her job are commendable. I would highly recommend her to anyone!!

It was my pleasure having surjit Kaur-Grewal as our Realtor to represent us during my recent single family home purchase in Los Gatos. We were introduced to her by my colleague at work. Right from the beginning she has been a professional, direct, honest open with her communication. We always found her hardworking and persistent in protecting our interests. She worked within our requirements, specifications and price limit. In-fact she screened and previewed many properties before she had us seen them. I had thought that I had little experience in real estate transactions in the US and this being 2nd property in bay area. We have come across very few to almost none whom my Wife and I could trust to work with. Though I am not judging her capabilities but her skills around Price Negotiation, market research, ensuring the house location is the safe, secure and most livable area of the city. Her experience and insights about most upcoming or popular real estate locations in bay area was amazing.She made our journey to buy a home, very smooth I will be happy to share my experience and refer to her to my friends and colleagues who are looking for purchasing or selling a property and when we buy or sell next property in the near future, Surjit will be our Realtor.

This review is lengthy but one word less will be a unjust for the dedication and services Surjit provides to her clients. ?__________ Home buying in Bay Area is the most stressful experience for the whole family, having a caring and experienced agent like Surjit is the key to transform the stress to a pleasurable experience.  We found Surjit a charm, lucky to have her as our agent. We would call her a family more than a realtor.  ?__________ First impression is the best impression: My friend referred us to Surjit and after getting so many positive references about her, we decided to meet her and discuss what we are looking for and where we stand. One could easily gauge the expertise in the field from the questions your realtor would ask in the first meeting. It is very common for realtors to pump you up on your capabilities and they offer transaction credits or kick backs. Surjit is contrary to that, very straight forward, keeps you glued to the ground, doesn’t allow you to stretch beyond the limits. My wife and I felt much lighter and confident at the end of the meeting. Surjit channeled us to the right box while we were wandering in our thoughts and doubts till then. ??__________ Home Shopping experience: Having known our priorities, Surjit recommended us only the specific houses and areas, ones that would be a perfect match. She does not waste your time showing the properties you have no interest or fit. Surjit thinks like a family member than a realtor, She forwarded only those listings that would fit our budget, specifications, school needs and most of all if the neighborhood suits each and every member of the family. She has solid knowledge of the neighborhoods, and presents excellent options. She would rightly recommend which ones to visit and which ones to avoid. Puts attention to all the details such as quality of houses, the crowd, traffic and even to the extent on how much it can appreciate anytime you want to put it back into the market. ??__________ Decision Making: She pulled us back on some of the very good houses, falling under the school proximity and budget of our choice, due to optional school zone that would not guarantee the same high school for the sibling down the years. We had put an offer for a smaller lot than desired for all other parameters, Surjit recommended a price and asked us not to feel tempted any further as it was not worth a penny more. She declined to put a counter offer after listing Agent’s claim that they had 90k more. We have later realized the sale price to be just over 10k on what we offered. Glad Surjit didn’t leave us to fall prey to these kind of properties. She got us our dream home below the list price “No exaggeration, everyone including us could not still believe how she won such a bargain in this bay area market. Well all I can say is “the experience , knowledge and skills topped with her strong negotiation and communication skills” overpowers any bids. Here is the icing on the top, “she also got us seller credits”. ??__________ Closing: As stressful it is to win a bid for the dream home, it is, to close the process smoothly. Here is where she is loaded with expertise in closing, documentation and racing against the time. Surjit made this a cake walk for us, she is proactive in following up with loan officer, title company for closing at the earliest. Made our job very easy. She will not leave any stone unturned, managed to get all the credits, even those beyond closing cost. Surjit could have easily pushed us for higher bids and close a sale sooner, but she chose to sell us a dream home than just any house. She is never in a hurry to get her transaction fee and brush-off. There times when we were ready to buy a house just for the schools, she discouraged us to proceed because of surrounding factors effecting the location or condition of the property.? For Surjit closing doesn’t end after signing the contract or signing the papers at the title company. She helped us with contractors for the improvements to personalize the home, negotiated the prices with them and provided valuable inputs in home improvement. I have never seen such a dedicated realtor who works tirelessly. We will always recommend her to our friends, family, neighbors who are in the market to buy or sell real Real Estate because of her selfless and amazing level of service.

Buying a home or selling one is a tedious process, not to mention the emotions that are attached to these. We were so anxious to sell our home and buy a new one in bay area. As residents of bay area, we knew the market is going to be in our favor but we had no idea where to begin! We came across Surjit through a friend's housewarming and with our friend's referral decided to meet Surjit. From the get go she gave us all kinds of information that we need to think about when buying a house. We started the journey and before we knew it, it all came together. She would send us listings after visiting the properties and ask us to go there and see if we like them. Based on our criteria decided in first meeting, she would go herself to filter out homes, then send us list of homes that were worth going to. She would educate us on what are pros and cons of the property and even help us to think about how the property may appreciate in the coming years! We could have never imagined that we would meet such a hardworking and dedicated realtor. She treated us like her family and would always tell us I can never sell you a house where I wouldn't want my family to live. So if you are ready for a house hunting adventure, work with Surjit and remember bring a notepad and take notes! You are bound to a learning experience! We are so happy and satisfied with our purchase. We hope you have the same experience.

We had an amazing experience buying our first home with Surjit. We were lucky to be referred to her by close friends, who had also had a great experience purchasing their home with Surjit. The housing market in the Bay Area, esp. South Bay (Santa Clara county) is extremely competitive, with houses staying on the market for a matter of days or weeks. Surjit took time to understand our priorities and tirelessly combed through upcoming listings, visited and vetted them in advance, and then scheduled visits for us for the ones she determined matched our criteria. On each visit, she highlighted the pros and the cons, including any repair work that would be required, both short and medium term. She has an amazing eye for those details, and her decades of experience in this area gives her a great sense of the quality of the neighborhood, construction, or maintenance costs/burden. Being first time buyers, we tended to be dazzled by apparently nicer looking homes, but Surjit did a great job of pulling the facade off some of those, as well as informing us that some of the not so immediately nice looking homes could be improved with relatively low effort. Surjit was a constant advocate for us, and we never felt that she did not have our best interests at heart -- always prioritizing the quality of life we would have in the new home over the time and effort it took for her in our continued search. She was never in a hurry to close and move on to another client. Surjit was also very helpful in putting us in touch with our loan officer, and then did a great job writing our offers even if it required working late into the night. She is a very good negotiator. She estimated the expected winning bid accurately, and our accepted offer was only a percent or so above the list price. Surjit was with us every step of the way until closing and after, and we are confident to say, we have found a life-long friend in her. We would highly recommend Surjit.
