We are first time home buyers and found a wonderful realtor and friend in Vidya. We didn’t know much about buying a home, let alone buying one in the Bay Area which is one of the most competitive markets in the country. But we knew we wanted someone who will guide us through it all without being pushy. That’s exactly what Vidya did. She was patient, answered a million questions and made the entire experience much smoother than we had imagined. When this house came on the market, she was in touch with the seller’s agent from the get go and made sure we took all the right steps. It eventually resulted us in getting our offer accepted. Vidya was genuinely so excited and happy for us. She even helped us with finding the right contractors for some of the renovations we wanted to get done. We... Show More

Vidya deserves a 100 rating for her extreme professionalism, market insights & knowledge and the calm demeanour in which she executes her tasks. Vidya helped us land our first home within a few months from landing in the country. She guided us with her forward looking approach and escorted through every step of the process. Her tips on how to secure a mortgage for new comers was pivotal in helping us get on the property ladder. We'll surely carry on with Vidya as our agent for life.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Vidya Murthy when buying my home, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, Vidya was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and professional. They truly understood what I was looking for and went above and beyond to find properties that matched my criteria. Vidya guided us through every step of the process, always taking the time to explain details and answer my questions, no matter how small. Their expertise in the local market was evident, and their negotiation skills ensured I got the best deal possible. One of the things I appreciated most was Vidya's responsiveness and dedication.

She was always reachable and very prompt in responding to our messages. Throughout the process, she guided us and resolved any issues that arose, providing reassurance and expertise.

Vidya is a sharp, kind, and extremely competent real estate agent with a deep well of knowledge. She is prompt in responding to all queries and considers your needs carefully. She diligently provides the pros and cons of each home and location, ensuring you can make well-informed decisions. Throughout our house-hunting journey, Vidya never pressured us to make offers unless we were absolutely certain about a property, which we found both refreshing and appreciable. With Vidya as your agent, you can rest assured that you'll find a home you love!

Vidya is an exceptional agent. She not only helped us with finding a home but also helped us understand the Bay Area. As we were new to the Bay Area, we had no clue about the different townships, market conditions and also the lenders. Vidya quickly understood our needs and what works best for our family. She not only helped us with the house viewing and suggestions but also with the recommendations on townships. She soon became a trusted advisor. This helped us understand the market dynamics and trends, distances from offices, schools etc. She helped with exploring options in the East Bay to the South Bay. She was extremely patient through the journey as our personal situation and criteria kept on changing. We really appreciated her help in sharing recommendations on lenders, movers... Show More

Vidya gives a personal touch with every client. She is always vigilant in giving her thoughts and assessment. She makes sure that you are educated before you go first see the house. For us she made us sure to even give water treatments and neighborhood information. She is a fun and kind person to hang around with and all her suggestions were well curated and thought upon. From seeing to closure she will help you and guide you all the way through. She deserves every praise one can give because of her sheer hardwork and focus. If you are going with redfin you should go with Vidya. Redfin pls take care of your absolute gem

We met Vidhya at one of her open house in the very initial exploration phase of our first time home buying journey. We found her very understanding about concerns of a first time home buyer as she followed up the same day with relevant information and disclosures of the property for us to get our feet wet in the process. We then followed up with a more detailed meeting where she explained all aspects of home buying including inspections, making offers, contingencies, finances, and deal closing and associated trade offs and risks. That made us feel more confident and empowered to take the next steps. As we started looking for properties more seriously, Vidhya was always prompt to provide her market and disclosers analysis and recommendations the same day. We found her fairly... Show More

Vidya is a gem of a real estate agent but beyond that she is a wonderful human being! Her work ethics, dedication to work, sincerity, commitment to us was reflected in the numerous communications we had daily over the past 4 months be it in person, on call or text messages/emails no matter what time of the day/day of the week. Vidya was extremely patient throughout this time - understanding our needs, what we were looking for, explaining and re-explaining at times - concepts related to real estate that we did not comprehend. She was not hesitant to do the work and put an offer for us that she told us ahead of time was probably gonna be a bit low. But we did not budge because we did not think the house was worth more than it and in the end we lost the bid for that particular house, but... Show More

My wife and I were actively searching for a house for a few months but we were not able to find any good real estate agents with whom we could click. But in March 2023, Redfin finally matched us with Vidya Murthy. After the first phone conversation and then a quick meet up with her, my wife & I already knew that this is the realtor which will get us into our house! And that actually happened a couple of months later! It was an instant connect for us! Vidya explains the whole buying process very well, and she also understands the buyers’ requirements well. We were the first time home buyers, so Vidya explained us every step and went over the steps in detail multiple times too. She was extremely patient with us too. She’s always just a few seconds away (not even minutes!) when it comes to... Show More

When I tried to make the first offer, I did a bunch of the research by myself and already had a number in my mind before asking Vidya. Surprisingly Vidya's estimation is exactly the same as mine. That's the reason why I put my full trust on her and we can quickly identify our purchased home. We really appreciate Vidya's help!

We had an amazing experience working with Vidya. As first time home buyers, we were really confused even deciding on buying a house or not and also choosing the right one. Vidya was extremely patient with us in explaining things to us. She never rushed/pressured us for any of the properties she showed us and always made sure that we were completely satisfied and comfortable before placing an offer. She also worked very hard and late nights to get our offers accepted and was also always available to show us any houses we liked and any number of times. All these made our home buying experience much less stressful and we are totally happy with our decision. We highly recommend Vidya.

Vidya is the best agent. She spends time on not only understanding needs of customers in terms of size, features, distance to work, budget. Community preferences, timeframe to close but also she is extremely knowledgeable, works with great empathy, great speed, honesty, truthful, and dedication. We never felt like we bought a house as she took the entire responsibility and made it easy for us. Her services helped us in closing without getting into traps of seller agents or other disclosure secrets. She became part of our journey and did it as if it is for her own sister or family member. Even a 10 rating is less for her. She deserves 10++++..... Best regard

Vidya is a very kind, extremely competent and fun agent who is keenly attuned to buyer's needs and expectations. She is focussed on getting the buyers the home they want instead of getting them "a" home. She is always on top of things. Let it be finding the latest listings, getting the tours scheduled, getting the docs signed or following up with sellers' agents on getting outstanding items done. Overall, we had a very fruitful, stress-free and fun experience with her. Thank you Vidya for such a pleasant experience and finding us our dream home!!!
