Karishma Kiri & Dhilip Gopalakrishnan, Real Estate Broker, Seattle & Eastside

Fantastic experience: Working with Karishma and Dhilip from K2 Group Real Estate was an exceptional experience from start to finish. While other townhomes in our Overlake community sat on the market for two months and were eventually taken down unsold, Karishma and Dhilip had our home sold in just 15 days. Months ahead of going live, they set up a clear workback schedule with consistent weekly updates to keep the entire process organized and stress-free. Most importantly, they advised us on strategic, cost-effective updates—fresh paint, improved lighting, minor cosmetic fixes, and impactful staging—delivering maximum return on a modest budget. Their market insight and proactive project management made all the difference. We highly recommend K2 Group Real Estate to anyone buying & selling in Seattle area!

Fantastic experience: We can’t say enough good things about Karishma and Dhilip! They helped us find our home in record time, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team to go through this journey with. We were expecting our baby at the end of May/early June and knew we needed a bigger home than our Seattle house, somewhere we could grow into as a family. We gave ourselves a pretty ambitious 90-day deadline to find a house and move in, and from the moment we started working with Karishma and Dhilip, they jumped right in and made us feel like we were their top priority. Karishma would send us houses to review several times a week, helping us narrow down the options to the ones worth seeing in person. Dhilip would join us for showings, and we learned so much from him along the way. He helped us look beyond the surface and understand everything from the way sunlight moves through a home throughout the day to the pros and cons of each property and ideas for future renovations that could make a house truly ours. We never felt rushed or pressured, and we always felt like they genuinely wanted us to find the right home, not just any home. Within a month, we found the one! Even while on vacation, Karishma stayed by our side and helped us navigate a bidding war, ultimately helping us land the house on terms we felt good about and were comfortable with. That level of commitment really says everything about the kind of people they are. What started as a home search quickly turned into a friendship. Buying a house can be stressful, especially with a baby on the way and a tight timeline, but Karishma and Dhilip made the entire experience feel manageable, exciting, and even fun. We’re so grateful to both of them for helping us find a place to call home and for being there every step of the way. If you’re looking for real estate agents who are knowledgeable, responsive, genuinely invested in your needs, and truly care about the people they work with, we couldn’t recommend Karishma and Dhilip more. You’ll be in great hands!

Fantastic experience: Working with Karishma and Dhillip was a great experience. This team is thorough, strategic, honest, and shows that they truly care about their clients and the decisions they make. Karishma handled the logistics of the process, market research and trends, and served as our main point of contact. Dhillip handled the home tours and was very detail-oriented; he pointed out many things that we had never considered, which we greatly appreciated as first-time buyers. They both weighed in on offer strategy and negotiations, which again helped make the (at times overwhelming) process that much easier. Communication was excellent from start to finish. We are happy to recommend them to anyone looking for agents they can trust.

Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic experience working with Karishma and Dhilip at K2 Group on the sale of our Sammamish home. Having already relocated to another city, we needed a team we could trust to manage the process remotely. K2 Group handled everything seamlessly, coordinating home readiness projects such as painting, roof replacement, and appliance installation through their strong operational model and trusted vendor network. Karishma provided excellent guidance on pricing, timing, and market strategy, while Dhilip & Team ensured every detail including staging was executed efficiently, cost effectively and professionally. Their marketing efforts generated strong visibility and buyer interest, contributing to a successful offer within 4 days followed by final sale within a month. What stood out most was their combination of market expertise, operational excellence, and true partnership. We highly recommend Karishma, Dhilip, and the K2 Group to anyone looking for home buying or selling in the Seattle area.

Fantastic experience: We had an amazing time working with Karishma, Dhilip and the whole K2 team. Our good friends recommended working with Karishma for her data driven expertise and strong negotiation skills. She not only exceeded our expectations, but the whole team made the process for us as first time home buyers so smooth. Karishma and Dhilip make a great partnership and compliment each other's individual strengths really well. Karishma kept us focused on what our budget and requirements were from the start, ensuring that we did not settle but also helped us understand the gives and takes. Dhilip has a great eye for home quality and guided us through what we should look for during our multiple walkthroughs to ensure that we were getting a fair value. In a super competitive market like Seattle where all the homes that met our preferences received multiple bids, we were very grateful to have them representing us. Ultimately we were able to buy a home in a location that we did not imagine was possible at the start of our search. Our offer was made even more competitive thanks to the fast close from their recommended mortgage broker who was just as excellent. We can't recommend Karishma and Dhilip enough!

Fantastic experience: Karishma and Dhilip are a power couple, and we couldn’t have been happier with our home-buying experience with them. Dhilip’s showings were thorough and never rushed. He has a sharp eye for assessing a home’s condition and future potential, clearly explaining what changes were major versus minor, while always respecting our preferences. Karishma had a deep understanding of what we were looking for and applied strong filters, especially around external factors we might not have noticed ourselves. She patiently explained her reasoning, which saved us significant time and helped us trust the process. When it came time to make an offer, both of them were thoughtful and supportive, recognizing how big of a milestone this was for us. Karishma helped draft a strong offer and kept the process moving quickly by ensuring we were well prepared from the start, with regular check-ins through closing. Dhilip’s attention to detail and memory for past discussions helped us address issues early. Together, they also have an excellent network of reliable, reasonably priced home-related contacts. We highly recommend Karishma and Dhilip. They are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in their clients’ success.

Fantastic experience: HIGHLY recommend Karishma and Dhilip. Both of them are a power house when it comes to real estate - If you are looking for someone who understands the criticality of this decision and will guide you along the way, look no further. If you are looking for someone to nod along the way, look the other way. The quality of service they have to offer is rare and exceptional. This is the team that you want on your side.

Fantastic experience: 10 out of 10 recommendation for Karishma and Dhilip! They helped us win an offer on a townhouse in a very competitive market back in 2020 and within the past couple months they helped us purchase a home under listing price AND sell our townhouse over list price!

Fantastic experience: Our entire experience of selling the home in 2019 through Karishma was a breeze. based on the past it felt like pulling teeth out of an elephant kind of process super painful and very unpredictable but with Karishma it was super simple and easy thanks for your professionalism, Karishma and you truly have mastered the art in making it super simple and easy for your customers where the customers come first.

Fantastic experience: We cannot recommend Karishma highly enough. Having moved to the Seattle area from overseas in 2017, Karishma helped us to fully understand the process, get an understanding of the market and its drivers and ultimately close on a house. Along the entire process, Karishma supported us in a very structured and transparent manner, was responsive, hard-working and truly had our very best interest at heart - no surprises along the way. She even connected us with good people that helped us get work done afterwards. At all times, we felt comfortable with her advice and have greatly benefited from it. Eight years later, trusting Karishma has objectively been one of the best decisions.

Fantastic experience: Karishma had rave reviews from the community, so I met with her. My first impression of Karishma was that she was very professional, patient, and efficient. I was in a special situation in which I had very specific requirements and as quick a closing date as could be managed. After a couple minutes of conversation, she quickly grasped my situation, worked on my schedule, and helped me close on a property in just 2 weeks! One of my pet peeves is that professionals, for whose opinion I pay for, are wishy-washy. I've had doctors and realtors beat around the bush and have a secret opinion that they refused to share. I was delighted to find that Karishma is a thorough professional and if you ask for her opinion, you will get it! I am very grateful that she told me things as they were, gave me recommendations and suggestions, in the most honest way possible. Other realtors I've worked with in the past, in 2 states, have never really felt like they were my agent. But, Karishma truly watches out for you, points out all potential pitfalls, and goes well above and beyond the call of duty. Karishma, her team, and partner companies are extremely diligent and extraordinarily efficient, and I'm a supremely satisfied customer! [The only caveat with working with Karishma is that you will be irritated with mediocre service till the Karishma Effect wears off ;)]

Fantastic experience: If you ever want a real estate agent with a fantastic network of additional resources and incredible professionalism - Don't hesitate Karishma is your go to person. Karishma was the most thoughtful, hardworking, professional, organized, knowledgeable, and fierce realtor you want on your side through a very important decision like this. Karishma helped us buy our dream house after terrible experiences with different realtors. She came in and got us our dream home at $7,500 discount on asking price and $21K lower than the market rate. The house is impeccable and not a fixer upper. It is move in ready and it is a fantastic investment. Karishma comes from over a decade in product management and selling her own business successfully to a multibillion dollar media mogul. I am sometimes surprised how good and thoughtful she is. We loved every single part of this process. Karishma was genuine and knowledgeable. Her "how" and "what" are the best and top notch. I only recommend her.

Fantastic experience: We were referred to Karishma by a friend who recently bought a home. Right from get go, we were very impressed by the professionalism and responsiveness and attention to detail that Karishma brings. We bought a lovely home in just 2-3 weeks and even though the home buying experience was short-lived, it was great. Dhilip and Karishma are an amazing team, and they don't treat you like a client, they treat you almost like friends/family. Being a first time buyer, we had a ton of questions, and both Dhilip and Karishma were extremely patient and very very helpful in educating us and giving us all the relevant information so that we can make the best decision. Even though we've closed on the home, now but they are still our go-to people for any home-related question, and they continue to help us every day! I would absolutely recommend them, and look forward to work with them again in the future. Thank you again Karishma and Dhilip, you are truly awesome!

Fantastic experience: Karishma and Dhilip are a dream team. They each sub for each other but individually own different components of the real estate process and it really helps the client get a holistic bigger picture and expertise during the real estate process. I know Karishma from her previous career and I really appreciate her and Dhilip for the following reasons and more! Her network of lenders, brokers and repair to help with the real estate process Utilizing data to help us make a decision. We love having analytical backing to our purchase and this is something we craved and they delivered. Her and Dhilip's expertise in the buy/sell process and negotiation strategy. Streamlining the purchase timeline with admin support so we were always in the know about various steps. We are looking forward to the sell portion of the real estate transaction and have complete faith in their efforts.

Fantastic experience: Buying our home in the crazy 2022 housing market actually became very smooth and pleasant experience thanks to Karishma and her team. In this market where there are 30+ offers on a single home and selling price goes 30-40% above asking price, we bought our home on our first offer and only 20% above the asking price. This was made possible due to impeccable insights, very thoughtful strategy, great negotiating skills and the strong team working diligently to make it all happen. I am not a first time home buyer, so I knew very well the overwhelming process involved in buying a home. The crucial thing in our success was the strong strategy Karishma has designed for buying home in this sellers' market. Her insights ensured we set our expectations correctly regarding selling price for a home, as lot of homes are listed well below markets price to attract multiple buyers. Initially I was skeptical, as I couldn't believe a home listed at 1.2M could sell for 1.8M, but it did. She goes through all reports to read between the lines to ensure the home is solid. One such example was a home we really liked and were ready to put an offer, but she found an issue in inspection report which wasn't obvious. Her deep knowledge and experience regarding homes ensured we caught the issue with structure of home which could cost up to 40-50k to fix. We really liked smooth experience working with her as she navigated us through complex process with clear plan, solid strategy. She is a trusted partner throughout the process. We highly recommend Karishma and her team.

Fantastic experience: If I could give Karishma >5 stars, I would! Karishma is simply the best, no question. She helped us identify homes that fit our criteria, and helped us think logically about our specific needs AND about future value of the home. I appreciated that she took a long-term view and wasn't just in it for the sale. In fact, she actively dissuaded us (and rightly so!) from certain homes. When it came to actually making the offer, Karishma constructed an amazing deal strategy that had us win the home at less than appraisal value and below asking price - even in a competitive bidding process! We took well calculated risks around waiving certain contingencies and ultimately these paid off immensely. We were so lucky to work with her. She spent Labor Day weekend poring over endless HOA docs, she is incredibly responsive over WhatsApp, and her entire team is just as helpful and supportive. We won't work with anyone else! Thanks, Karishma!

Fantastic experience: First Impressions: Earns Trust. When my wife and I decided to purchase our first home, we received strong referrals from friends to work with Karishma. She was flexible to meet at our convenient time and place and from the first meeting itself we could tell that we were in good hands. Karishma has worked as a senior leader in the corporate world and her data driven approach to RE was refreshing and helped us gain confidence in her. Home Search: Customer Obsessed In terms of the home search process, we started off wanting the moon but quickly realized that the Seattle market is very challenging for buyers. Karishma first recommended that we visit multiple open houses in speciifc neighborhoods to get a good sense of the market and the types of houses available. That helped us understand what we truly wanted. She made the process much easier and less heartbreaking by asking us to share a few examples of houses we liked and subsequently recommending houses on the market that were suited to our taste, budget and neighborhoods. Having had years of experience in the industry, we could see that she consciously nudged us away from houses/neighborhoods she knew wouldn't be good fits for us. This is a delicate skill and she excelled at it. She spent time getting to know us and our requirements well and then helped us narrow our needs and requirements. Home Buying: Bias For Action and Deliver Results Karishma works with a wonderful team of mortgage lenders who are as quick and efficient as her. As a step zero, She asked us to get pre-approved and in hindsight I know that it made a lot of sense. After visiting multiple open houses we really liked one of the houses that Karishma shared. When we indicated our interest in moving forward, she scheduled another visit with us to critically review the home. While it is in the agents interest to convince us to buy the house, she very clearly called out the positives and areas that would require work so that we could make an informed decision. Once we decided to move forward, the process after that felt like a breeze. She was extremely efficient in her communication with us and the mortgate team and coordinated excellently with the seller agent. We went over the bid and e2e financials with her multiple times and she also helped us through a melt down moment the midnight before submitting the bid. (THANK YOU for that!). Apparently ours wasn't the highest bid but Karishma had already created a wonderful relationship with seller agent and helped us win the offer. After our bid was accepted, she proactively notified us of all next steps before they would come up. Overall, Karishma has excelled at earning our trust and we would recommend other first time home buyers to work with her. THANK YOU and God Bless.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing real estate team! Karishma and Dhilip took the time to understand our needs and wants and provided real, strategic purchasing advice that resulted in the right home investment in a neighborhood we absolutely love. Plus, their connections to lenders, contractors, and other home resources ensured our purchase and move-in was seamless. Will only ever use this team for my real estate investments.

Fantastic experience: Karishma and Dhilip helped us find our dream home during the COVID lockdown when we were moving across states. The deep empathy and professionalism they guided us with during this process was matched only by their expertise in navigating the market, separating the chaff from the weed and making the “right” offer that got us what we wanted without breaking our bank. Since then we’ve referred friends to them who have all been grateful to us for the introduction.

Fantastic experience: The realtors I would trust are Karishma and Dhilip. Not only did Karishma identify homes exactly as I wanted, she also prevented me from buying homes that would have been a mistake for my situation. The integrity and commitment to the client, immense knowledge of the market dynamics and her great reputation among fellow realtors make Karishma and Dhilip the only realtors I would work with in the future- wherever they are licensed!

Fantastic experience: In an industry where details matter, Karishma and Dhilip, are as good as they get. Their attention to detail and overall knowledge of the Real estate market not only locally but nationally really sets them apart. Whether it’s as a listing or buying agent, there’s no one Better then K2 group. It’s been a pleasure Doing business with you both.

Fantastic experience: Working with The K2 Group is an absolute pleasure. They are incredibly thorough, quick to act on behalf of their clients, and fight fiercely to protect their best interests. What impresses me most is that while they are such a strong advocate, they also provide a white-glove level of service — making every step of the process smooth, stress-free, and professional. If you’re looking for someone who combines expertise, tenacity, and exceptional client care, The K2 Group is the team you want by your side. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Exceptional Teamwork and Results – Highly Recommend Karishma and Dhilip We had the pleasure of working with Karishma and Dhilip to sell our Bellevue home, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, they operated as a seamless team, combining strategic insight with hands-on support that made the entire process smooth and successful. The biggest benefit to us was their incredible organization in preparing the house for sale. They coordinated a pre-inspection, sourced reliable contractors to address the inspection list and get the house sale ready including subtle improvements to a buyers eye at very competitive rates, and ensured the home was professionally staged to highlight its full potential. Their attention to detail and proactive approach made a huge difference. Thanks to their expert negotiation skills and market knowledge, we sold our home above asking price—at the top end of its value range. Karishma and Dhilip were originally recommended to us by friends who had a great experience with them, and now we’re passing that recommendation forward with full confidence. If you’re looking for realtors who are not only skilled professionals but also genuinely invested in getting you the best outcome, Karishma and Dhilip are the team to trust.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I recently bought our first home, and we're so glad we had Karishma and Dhilip by our side. A month after closing, we couldn't be happier. They make an amazing team and were fully invested from day one, even checking in on us after we moved in to make sure everything was going smoothly. What could have been a stressful process felt remarkably smooth. We started with several phone calls where Dhilip walked us through the key aspects we needed to understand as first-time buyers. This was followed by a detailed zoom call with Karishma, who educated us about the current market, her strategy, and the ins and outs of financing and closing. After gathering our requirements, they sent us carefully curated options. Dhilip was our enthusiastic tour guide, patiently taking us to view the houses we'd shortlisted. We learned so much about evaluating single family homes and townhomes, plus all the factors we needed to consider. He was refreshingly frank about his thoughts and answered every question, pointing out details we would have missed. Every viewing was a learning experience. Even though Dhilip handled the tours, Karishma was always up to speed on developments. Once we decided to pursue our house, they made sure we understood everything in the inspection reports. Karishma led the pricing and closing strategy, bringing clarity and confidence to our decisions while keeping us in a strong negotiating position. We successfully closed on the first house we made an offer on! They were transparent, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive - not just until we got the keys, but even after. They remain incredibly responsive and helpful. We're truly grateful for their guidance through such a major milestone! P.S. If you're a first-time homebuyer, we highly recommend the K2 Group. Their experience, patience, and commitment made all the difference for us.

Fantastic experience: Working with Dhilip and Karishma was a journey filled with both challenges and successes. From the very beginning, they took care of all the small details that often go unnoticed but can be incredibly stressful. Whether it was handling paperwork, coordinating with various parties, or ensuring that every aspect of the process was smooth There were moments when the process felt a bit pushy, but in hindsight, it was exactly what was needed to keep things moving forward. Dhilip's persistence and dedication ensured that we stayed on track and ultimately led to a fruitful ending. Thanks to their hard work and attention to detail, we were able to navigate the complexities of the real estate market and achieve our goals. We are grateful for their] support and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and proactive real estate agent.

Fantastic experience: Karishma and Dhilip helped us throughout our journey to selling our townhouse. They take their time to prepare and educate us with buying/selling rules, market trends, and insights. They use their extensive knowledge and career experience to ensure that we get things right and anticipate issues ahead of time. They always ensure that our side is watertight - from remodeling, staging, photography, inspection, pricing, contracts, listing, etc - and are able to envision multiple scenarios that we may encounter. We sold during the summer, and though we had uncertainties due to timing and shifting market trends, they were there to guide, soothe, and work on solutions for us. Home selling can be stressful but if there was anything we can be sure about, it was that they were 100% our advocate - they had our best interests in mind - and we could see it in their ways of communication, education, negotiation, and more. I would especially recommend K+P if you are new to selling and are open to learning, want to work with people that listen, understand and want to work together to achieve the same goals.

We hit it off right away, her professionalism and fact-based style of interaction appealed to me a lot. She understood my preferences very well and never asked me to compromise on what I wanted. Dhilip and Karishma were excellent at vetting the homes I saw and gave their expert point of view on resale potential, maintenance costs etcetera. This was invaluable to me a first time solo buyer. Karishma is an excellent negotiator and will get you the best deal possible. My entire home buying process went as smoothly as imaginable, thanks to Karishma, Dhilip and their team. They also introduced me to a great contractor to do some remodel work which I am very happy with. Overall, anyone would be hard pressed to find another realtor with similar comprehensive knowledge, professional network and dedication to clients. Can't wait to work Karishma and team again on future real estate endeavors!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Karishma and Dhillip! From our first meeting in April through the closing of my house in June, these two went above and beyond every step of the way. Their extensive knowledge of the local housing market and their commitment to detail in getting my home ready for market resulted in a fast sale with multiple top dollar offers. Karishma and Dhillip are an amazing team!

Fantastic experience: Karishma and Dhilip are rockstars. They did a fantastic job in finding an excellent home for us. Karishma and Dhilip did a great job throughout the home-buying journey and made the whole process stress-free. Right from our first interaction with Karishma, we knew she was in another league. Dhilip did a great job showing us the house and educating us about multiple factors we never considered. Finally, when we found the right house, Karishma did her magic to secure the house in a multi-bid scenario. Once the seller accepted our offer, they did a fantastic job until the closing process, so it was smooth. They continue to support us with our innumerable silly requests re: contractors, plumbers, and the list goes on :) We consider Karishma and Dhilip as our friends now. They are amazing!!

Fantastic experience: Karishma is a star. I have bought and sold a number of homes over the years and Karishma is in a different class than any agent I have met. Her marketing and selling strategy led to 5 offers and a deal well over list - in a challenging market for sellers. We ran into some roadblocks during close and she led in maneuvering our way through them with skill … and a successful purchase for the new owners of our home. She is super smart and reliable. I highly recommend her for your home sale or purchase.

Fantastic experience: Karishma and Dhilip did just the most spectacular job finding the perfect home for me. I had a pretty tight budget and they helped me find an amazing single family house in an awesome neighborhood. They were incredibly patient with me and personally showed me around 12 homes before we arrived at the perfect one. Not only were they super professional, they also acted very quickly and swiftly when it came time to make the offer. They made sure to work with me to put in a clean and strong offer so that it was accepted instantly. The whole process from pre-approval to house hunting and finally closing was the picture of good communication, swift action and professionalism. I highly recommend reaching out to them and hiring them as your realtors. You will not regret it!

Fantastic experience: Karishma and Dhillip are a phenomenal team. You should hire Karishma and Dhillip because you don’t want them representing the other side or your competitors. Karishma confidently told us that their strength is in multiple bid situations and they were absolutely right. We were in a multiple bid situation and Karishma and Dhillip were spot on about what it took and how much it took to win the bid. In our purchase process, we only ever submitted one bid. That speaks volumes for Karishma and Dhillip’s experience and expertise. If/when we sell the house, we’ll be calling Karishma and Dhillip again.

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable about the local market, and guided me towards the right areas to look at for potential homes. She then helped me pick a home that met my requirements and was priced correctly.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience working with Karishma and Dhillip. Bought our dream house and never feel rushed and got so much valuable knowledge on local details and building.

Fantastic experience: A winning team! We were referred to Karishma and Dhilip from friends of ours who had worked with them to buy their home recently. Karishma is organized, thorough, and thoughtful. She listened to our wants and needs and guided us in the right direction. Dhilip was always available to tour homes with us and gave us his expert opinion on homes which was invaluable! We never felt pressured with anything and they were thrilled when we decided to rent out our townhouse instead of sell. When we finally found "the one," Karishma was quick and professional. It was our first offer and we were one of three offers. Even though we weren't the highest offer, we still got the home all thanks to Karishma! They are genuinely good people and do this because they love it. We will continue to keep in touch with them and they will be the first to know when we're ready for the next home!

Fantastic experience: Karishma and Dhilip worked on an expedited schedule to sell our home in record time. Their collective knowledge of the Eastside, close collaboration with us, and swift communication was highly effective in meeting the specific criteria needed to sell our unique home. One thing that really sets the K2 team apart from the rest was their responsive and individualized approach to all of the components of the sale process. Karishma’s strategies for capitalizing on the current housing market were genius. Dhilip’s eye for detail and thoroughness well-prepared our home logistically and aesthetically. No stone was left unturned. This resulted in a high return on investment. Overall, we were highly satisfied with our real estate experience through K2!

Fantastic experience: Karishma and Dhilip were an amazing team to work with, to meet our real estate needs. Eight years ago, Karishma was a seller agent for the house we bought. We were so impressed with her expertise that we chose to work with her when we were ready to purchase our next home. Our first initial meeting was over an hour long and we discussed our needs and the current market and what is required to win our dream in this competitive and stressful market. Both Dhilip and Karishma gave us their personal time at each of the home visits, narrowing down homes to only those that would meet our needs. We were in the market for approx. 6 months, and our list for the new home was extensive and limited to a very small area. Considering that, it is amazing that they were able to find something meeting 90% of our needs in the location of our liking and then helping us win the bid. I must say, in spite of it being a sellers market, I believe that Karishma was able to negotiate fairly to ensure we do not pay anything extra to outbid the other buyers. We were able to optimize our time and have expert opinion not only for the price of the house, but the quality of the house, any hidden cost that we might incur etc. They were very detail-oriented throughout the process making sure that we do not come across any hidden curveball - this was especially valuable given that we barely got time to see the house twice and had to make a decision in 3-4 days tops. Even after we won the bid, they were with us through-out the process, providing us with valuable contacts required for smooth move including insurance agents, lending experts, carpet and painting specialist to name a few. Karishma also helped us find the right banking partner to be able to close in a short period and at one of the most competitive interest rate in that time-frame. After we bought the house, they have been in regular touch with us and have helped us with renting our older home as well. If you are looking for expert real estate partners who are going to take the time to understand your needs, give personal attention and help you find what you need, do contact them.

Fantastic experience: More than 35 bids, competing against people who have been looking for a house for a few months and have lost many bids, and an area with great schools and great neighborhood. How did we win our first bid in this crazy market to buy our beautiful 4-bedroom, 3 car garage private backyard home without a view peeking into any neighbor’s home even being 3rd in the bidding queue in Jan 2022? We paired with Karishma and Dhilip for our home search. Starting December 2021 when there was a very low inventory. Karishma knew that every house we say “No” to, would have a price increase in just a week or two market being so hot, and at the same time, she also knew what “Not to buy” keeping the future investment in mind. We loved some houses, but Karishma told us why they were either not a long-term good investment or not a good buy. Dhilip and Karishma are a great team, as Dhilip knows in and out about remodeling the house, which came in handy as he could tell if there was a scope of modification in the house or not, how much would it cost in the ballpark, and when to run away from the house given the construction quality or reputation of the builder. Karishma knows what it takes to win the bid. Seriously. How to present the offer, what makes the offer strong, how to present an offer as cash (please ask her how to do it as that’s how we won our house with our first bid ever while actually bidding lower than our competitors), and how to smartly negotiate. After listening to so many bid losing stories from friends who compromised on a house that was not their first choice, I would highly recommend reaching out to Karishma to do her magic in your favor and guide you on how to win the bid and make the house purchase a memorable experience instead of frustrating one. I wish you all the best in finding a perfect house that you can turn into your home with loving memories.

Fantastic experience: Karishma is really professional and can make / break your deal in the Homebuying experience. She stayed within our budget and never pushed us to increase our budget. I can confidently say that she easily saved us ~$200K by putting offers on the right kind of houses with the right conditions in the contract. The first Offer we put was accepted by the sellers and I don't see that happening with other Real Estate agents used by my friends. The House viewing experience before buying the house is also critical and viewing it with Karishma makes us understand what are the things right / wrong about the house so we can make a judgement call on putting down an offer for the house. In a competitive market such as Seattle, its really helpful to have an agent like Karishma who understands all the details about the local market and can find a house for you based on your budget / neighborhood needs. She has great contacts with Lenders & Home Services companies, so she's not just with us for the home buying part but will also help you getting in touch with great people for financing / small house fixes that might be needed before moving in. I would 100% recommend Karishma to my friends.

Fantastic experience: Karishma & Dhilip are a dream team! We worked with them for the purchase of our house in Sammamish and they provided the complete package end-to-end. Karishma is constantly on top of new listings that come up, and immediately alerts us to new listings that met our criteria (even though, admittedly, we had only been vague in our specifications). Dhilip was super insightful during the visits to the houses, and his knowledge of structures and construction are a strong asset! During the bidding process, they both were constantly with us, and the cool thing with them was the right level of opinion – not too excessive, not too guarded. They give their analytically-backed opinions on what’s the fair price, what’s a good ceiling, etc. As an engineer, hearing their scientifically researched opinions made it easy to trust & digest. And after our offer was won, they pointed us to an excellent creditor who closed the loan swimmingly with clear asks; and needless to say, Karishma and Dhilip maintained constant communication with the creditors too. There were four super cool aspects of Karishma and Dhilip that I’d call out. 1) Given their analysis of list prices, expected sale prices, and pros/cons of a house, they are just as good at picking the house to go after as they are at telling us the ones to _not_ go after. This really saved us unnecessary wasted effort and heartburn, and kept us charged for the right house! 2) They keep the framework for thinking about the market to be as much analytical as possible. When backed by statistics and economics, it keeps subjectivity to a minimum, which is a great thing in this crazy market! 3) Their clear communication skills make them a pleasure to work with – there is little need to double guess or read between the lines. It’s a direct WYSIWYG style, and on top of that, they are always prompt and available in their communications. 4) Finally, the abundant empathy in understanding that buying a house is a deeply emotional journey for the buyer. As a result, they are happy to be flexible with their schedules and processes, to make general adjustments. This allowed us a second look, visit at late hours, etc. – something that had a great impact in our decision to go after our current property. All in all, Dhilip and Karishma are an awesome twosome that you want on your side for your home purchase – super highly recommended, five stars, you won’t find a better team!

Fantastic experience: The Seattle real estate market is notorious for its complexity, expense, and the sheer number of offers needed to land a home. Luckily we didnt have to experience any of those complications thanks to Karishma and Dhilip. We had one meeting to review what we were looking for in a home and Karishma came up with multiple options that suited all of our needs. Thanks to her expertise, we submitted one offer on the first house we chose and closed the deal. Karishma drove the process the entire way and followed up and escalated where needed to get us moved into our dream home in just 3 weeks. I cant recommend Karishma, Dhilip, and their team enough and will continue using and recommending their services to everyone we know.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Karishma and her team HIGHLY enough. From the very beginning to the end, Karishma showed her leadership and expertise. Our home was sold for much higher than asking price. We were floored. Karishma navigated this very well and we closed on our home seamlessly. Home buying and selling is a stressful process, she didn't make it seem that way at all. It was stress-free for us. She was kind, empathetic, knowledgeable, and a leader in what she does. I highly recommend her wholeheartedly. Go team KK!!!

Fantastic experience: We were fortunate to have Karishma and Dilip as our agent who were meticulous in keeping us informed from the first meeting and explained the whole process in detail, which helped us in being prepared and ready for the crazy market out there. They provided true opinions about the listings and many a times have steered us away from making a bad choice. Finally they worked out their magic and got us a listing in our dream community and smoothly closed out the transaction. I am sure our association with Karishma and Dilip will continue forever as we really love their commitment and experience in the field. I would highly recommend Karishma and Dilip for anyone looking to buy a property in the greater Seattle area.

Fantastic experience: Working with Karishma and Dhilip made it incredibly easy to go through what is a very high stress and emotional process. They were available and willing to answer all of our questions and walk us through the process as first time home buyers. We wouldn't be living in the house of our dreams without them, and we are so grateful!!

Fantastic experience: Karishma was our realtor to buy a house. We truly enjoyed working with Karishma! She is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely helpful. Her negotiation skills are also excellent. After we bought the home, Karishma and her team have continued to be a great help to us - giving us connections to local resources and contractors to help with our home maintenance and projects. We highly recommend Karishma to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Fantastic experience: Karishma & Dhilip were great to work with. This was our first time buying a home and it was in a super competitive market/time in Seattle. Although house buying can be a stressful process - K & D put us at ease. Karishma was patient with us as we learned the ropes and extremely detail-oriented, pragmatic and analytical when it came to the market and pricing estimates. She would never push us or suggest that we look into a house that we didn't absolutely love and made sense financially for us. Her and Dhilip provided good insight and tips on each home that we looked at and pointed out details that we probably wouldn't have noticed on our own. We always knew they had our best interests in mind! Because of all their hard work - in the end, we ended up finding the PERFECT home in Greenwood, Seattle that we absolutely love and adore. Thanks to Karishma's offer strategy, guidance, and persistence, we beat out 40 OTHER OFFERS for the house!! I truly believe we couldn't have done it with anyone else. Thanks Karishma & Dhilip! -T&J

Fantastic experience: We absolutely loved working with Karishma and her husband Dhillip. We were referred by a work colleague and were told that Karishma was the best real estate agent in Seattle, with confidence, responsiveness and professionalism that was unparalleled. We had an amazing 90+ minute zoom interview (thanks COVID-19), and we felt ready to proceed with the home buying experience. Her partnership with a fantastic lender led to us finding a home, putting an offer down, having it accepted, and closing on the home, WITHIN 3 WEEKS. We are in paradise right now, and we are happy to say that we have a new friend and older-sister type figure in our lives for years to come. She is incredibly thoughtful and considerate, and has surprised us many times during this journey!! Forget the rest, go with the BEST.

Fantastic experience: Karishma helped and guided us in finding and closing on our dream home. We interviewed multiple agents and found Karishma to be very objective and data-oriented from the get-go. Since we were novices in this domain, she walked us over every single step of the process in our first meeting and presented data regarding costs and market conditions. She even created a group with me, my spouse and herself to brainstorm over active listings, our likes/dislikes and potential issues with some homes we shared with her. This was a very informative and enlightening process for us since we understood the factors which help in home appreciation over long periods of time. She was always responsive to all our queries - we found that she was willing to go to that extra mile so that we don't miss out on great opportunities. The best thing about her is that she never pushed us for anything we were not ready for - whether in terms of finance or attributes of homes, but she also clearly laid out her opinion and trade offs we might end up making. She took the lead in creating well-planned itineraries for home viewings (it was especially difficult considering COVID situation, but she ensured that we see all the homes meeting our criteria). She lined up a variety of homes in a variety of neighborhoods to help us gauge the differences when parameters like age, community, size and commutes are tweaked. This exercise helped us understand our own preferences better. She was able to win the first ever offer we made amongst 3 other more competitive offers. The seller-team was highly impressed with the organization and commitment she brought to the table. She not only guided us for home related decisions but also recommended the best people to work with - including lenders, cleaners and movers. Overall, we are very pleased and satisfied with the passion, dedication and expertise Karishma showcased throughout the entire process and we will be personally recommending her to all our friends wanting to undertake this exciting journey.

Fantastic experience: Karishma and Dhilip are fantastic! When we first reached out to them, they took the time to sit down and explain the whole process; they explained what was expected of us, what they would be handling, how the whole process worked, etc. Once we started touring, they quickly picked up on what our tastes are and were able to tailor our tours to better match what we were looking for. Karishma was able to get us in to tour a house less than an hour after it entered the market. My partner and I decided that this was the house we wanted, and Karishma was able to provide guidance around what the house would actually go for. She negotiated with the sellers and were able to get our offer accepted at 1% over asking, even convincing the seller to cancel a scheduled open house. Her and Dhilip provided great guidance, had timely and open communication throughout the process, and they have a great handle on the market. Their expertise, experience, and skill were absolutely invaluable...we can't recommend them enough and will absolutely use them again.

Fantastic experience: Karishma was an amazingly great real estate partner in our recent sell and buy experience. I will start with the sell, not only was she able to help get our beloved home on the market with quality offers just a few days. She was meticulous in making sure we were posed for a straightforward sell, relieving us of any unwanted stress. Her data driven approach to putting the home on the market made us feel comfortable we were doing the right thing. She educated us around the year-over-year trends which really helped us understand the science behind the reasoning – very important when making life changing decisions. On to the purchase of the new home. Early on, Karishma was able to understand our aesthetic and taste so instead of filtering through 100’s of homes online, she sent us a succinct list of potential homes saving us hours of online browsing. She educated us on the pros and cons of the different homes being very transparent around why the investment is good–now and long term. She made sure when we put our offer in that we were putting a strong offer together that the builder couldn’t refuse given the area we purchased didn’t have much inventory. She was able to help us wiggle in a handful of upgrades at no additional cost—very surprising given buyer/builder negotiations on a brand new home. Fast forward---we are now 3 weeks into our new home and we LOVE it. Overall she looked out for what was best for our family, making sure we were protected every step of the way, and ensured our new dream home become an everyday reality. Thank you for all the hard work, Karishma!
