Working with Bela on an offer was a wonderful experience and we would use her again. From figuring out which house would be good for us for a long term investment to closing on the house, it was a true partnership. Our closing process was easy until the last few days, and she jumped right in the complications to ensure we got the house.

I'm confident to say she WAS the reason we got our house. She knew how to navigate the offer stage, figuring out how to best position our offer in the sea of offers in the Bay Area. She manage the process to make a competitive offer that would be considered. She also worked with our loan officer, Mark, to ensure we had the right documents for the offer packets. She hand delivered our offer to the seller agent and shared how much the house mean to us even though she was about to set off for the weekend. She contacted us over her weekend off and managed to negotiate a final and best offer which was beyond our expectations. As of the next morning, our offer was accepted!!

She handled so much behind the scenes, we had nothing to worry about. In the last few days, we needed an extension due to completion of the loan process, and she jumped in. We also ran into a snag in the seller documentation to file with the county and she worked with the Title Company and all the parties involved to keep us on time and updated. The whole situation would have been extremely stressful, but Bela handled it all with ease and managed everything. I'm so grateful for Bela's help in securing our dream home. She treats her clients like friends where she will go up and beyond what is asked. I've also made a friend for life in the process.

Our association with Bela has been over 15+ years now. We bought our first home with her help in 2004 and an investment property in 2010. Bela is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market in general and bay area in particular: trends, what sells, when/where/how to buy etc.

Bela is thorough professional; her focus is solely on ensuring client's best interests are served well. A great example of this was our investment property purchase where the seller wanted to back out after the sale agreement was done; the seller was going through a divorce and realized that they were selling low. Bela advised us to stick with the deal and follow the process as outlined in the sale agreement; deal got done at the original price. We had a handsome appreciation on our investment. Bela is also very easy and fun to work with which is why she is family to us. We have referred her to all my close family and friends. If you are looking for someone to help with your real estate related investments/purchases, look no further than Bela. She is probably the best in the bay area

It has been a great pleasure working with Bela Shah. We met her several years ago and we have worked together in buying or selling at least 4 Houses. Bela has always been quick to respond and truly concerned with any concerns we've had. She has  far exceeded our expectations. We are fully confident in referring her to anyone wanting to list or buy a property.

Bela is meticulous and tenacious. she is always reachable and top of her game. She works day and night until deal gets through. She always has back up plan ready for crisis situation. In our case she executed the back up plan flawlessly when our buyer backed out few days after we accepted their offer. We ended up with a better contract with the new buyer. Highly recommended.

Bela has been providing us excellent, and more importantly, very creative solutions to some difficult deals, for the past 22 years. She has helped us with different real estate needs, from residential land to investment properties. Apart from being a great salesperson, and a pleasure to work with, she provides peace of mind by thoroughly evaluating any chances of legal liabilities in a transaction. She goes the extra mile to develop a good rapport with the other party's RE agent, which facilitates a smoother deal. Her knowledge and experience is vast, and her support structure, like escrow companies and others, are very well established, and a pleasure to work with too. Our family's second generation is now availing her services for their RE needs. That speaks volumes.

BELA is the most responsible, reliable an honest property manager I know. I’ve employed several managers over the years and Bela’s services go far beyond the norm. I HIGHLY recommend Bela!!

I have worked with Bela a few times spanning over 10 years and each time has been an amazing experience. She listens to what my needs are and never pushes her opinion, only offers it when asked. She has an amazing pulse for what the real estate market is going for in many different cities around the Bay Area, which is truly remarkable since no two are alike. This skillset is something that can only be obtained through years of experience and natural ability. I truly feel that she has my best interests at heart and isn't just trying to make a sale for her financial benefit.

We have used Bela for all our Real Estate needs. Procuring property and then managing them. She is the Broker of choice for many of our extended family as well. She works hard and smart, is honest and tenacious and will go the extra mile to make everything work smoothly. I highly recommend her for any Real Estate needs.

It is a delight to work with Bela. She is very thorough with her research of the markets, she makes sure she understands your needs and makes recommendations based on “your” needs, she moves at the speed of light... and can be totally trusted. We love working with her, and whole-heartedly recommend her to our extended family and close friends.

Bela is one of the best real estate broker you can wish for. We moved from east coast and she helped us find our dream home. She toured with us almost half a day to help us narrow down our city search when we were debating to move to west coast. Since then we knew if we ever buy our home- it has got to be through her.

She is very patient in understanding your needs and she goes way beyond to help out in all possible ways. She made our whole process seem less from helping us find right agent back in east coast to sell our home to every process in our home buying in California. She is very easy to reach and does have very good contacts with lenders to appraisers which is extremely helpful when you are dealing with super-hot market. When we found our dream home - she was on vacation and despite of that she took care of the whole process from overseas. She helped us take every right decision in our home buying process.

Can’t say enough - but you have got to meet her once and I am sure it will be the path to your dream home.

Bela has been our trusted advisor for many years.  She has a real knack of finding the 'diamond in the rough' investments and helping her clients navigate transactions that are not very straightforward.  She is a pleasure to work with - her positive energy, drive and enthusiasm are infectious and she always has our best interests in mind.  We appreciate her open and flexible working style and trust that any issues that come up are resolved quickly. 

Bela is a fine Real Estate Broker with an immaculate reputation. I have known her professionally since 2011. Four years ago when I wanted to invest in a second home I approached her and she  did a fantastic job in finding me a house, exactly as per my requirements and well within my price limits. She understood my needs very well, researched thoroughly and worked within my time constrains to show homes with patience. She even introduced me to mortgage brokers and I eventually had my loan approved through one of them. She is personable,  and very easy to work with and made  the whole process of buying my home stress free.  I would strongly recommend her to any new buyer and seller.

Bela has been a phenomenal help in my buying my single family home. She was always ready to visit properties, provide her judgement, experience and took the extra step in visiting a few surrounding open houses to get a better understanding of the pulse, momentum. We were not the first offer but even then she pushed us to submit our offer with the required terms that resulted in the seller accepting our offer. After the purchase, she has helped us working with the seller to fix a few issues that in simple words could have been a headache for us.

Bela is an incredible realtor. She is so patient and always available to answer our questions in detail.

She is so so knowledge with decades of experience under her belt. I would highly recommend her over anyone else and I speak from experience - she worked with us to purchase our new home on Palo Alto. We went to first contacting her to closing on the house we loved in under 2 weeks. She stood with us every step of the way, helping and guiding us through the process. Could not have asked for anyone better.
