Homes For Sale In Auburn and Lake Tapps WA

   Persistent negotiator – someone who doesn’t let go of a deal as the negotiation gets harder

I first talked to Gaurav Sood in early 2011. My wife and I were interested in a short-sale and I called up Gaurav Sood (he was the listing agent) and asked him a bunch of questions. I tried to assess whether he would jeopardize the deal if I came in at a higher offer. While most of the real estate agents would have jumped at that, he refused to do it since they had already made a verbal promise to another party. I liked his value system and business ethics. This set the stage for a strong relationship that spanned into multiple transactions since 2011. 

As we progressed in our search for our new house, we decided to try him out and over a period of few months, he worked diligently with us, to understand our needs and short-list the right property. There were a couple of characteristics that I was looking for and he met all of them:

1.       Keep my interest first and foremost (as his client)

2.       Ethics – Gaurav does not bend the rules. There were situations where other referrals of mine wanted him to get into grey areas ….Gaurav doesn’t do that. 

3.       Persistent negotiator – someone who doesn’t let go of a deal as the negotiation gets harder

4.       Affable personality 

So in a short span of 1 ½ year, Gaurav helped us: 

a)      Sell our existing house – quickly. Offers started coming in on the first day the listing went live 

b)      Buy our new house – was able to negotiate hard and finally got us the house in a new community that we were after…. at a discount + a big upgrade thrown in. All this from a well-known developer who is known for “no-negotiations”

c)       Get a new  property for my office in Bellevue downtown

If you want an agent who can quickly get on the same frequency as you, one who is willing to fight it out for you and more importantly, one who delivers results, then Gaurav Sood is the guy!
