I absolutely love my home and I’m so grateful to my realtor Mika Ratnam. Mika gave me a deep appreciation for how important it is to have a realtor that is patient, skilled, knowledgeable and tenacious. She took the time to carefully listen to me in the beginning when I only had a vague idea about purchasing a home. She worked hard to find properties that were appropriate. Each outing to see potential properties was filled with insight and helpful suggestions. When I set my heart on my home, she was a skillful negotiator. She has an excellent sense for timing and choosing a good offering price. From financing, to closing, she was responsive and ensured I had all the resources I needed to to get to that thrilling moment whe n I received the keys to my very own home.

We had given Mika a difficult job of selling the house in 2 weeks as we wanted to close on another house that we had already put an offer on. In the middle of a major California fire when people were reluctant to venture out, the Thanksgiving and year-end holidays, and a slowing winter market, Mika was not only able to get multiple offers and but also got the buyer to increase their offer by 50,000 dollars. A skilled negotiator, Mika was proactive, committed, astute, professional, charming and personable.  From the moment I met her, I felt she was deeply interested in the sale of my home paying attention to every detail about the home. She is not one of those agents who gets a listing and then waits for the clients to come. She had a vision for the home to match the potential types of buyers for our home. She also personally met the clients and hosted the Open Houses herself, ensuring the buyers got full information about our home. Many agents commented on how lovely she was to work with. We recommend her highly to anyone wishing to buy and sell a home. You would be lucky to be her client.
