I had the pleasure of working with Wajiha Tareen, who made the home buying process an enjoyable and stress-free experience. From the initial consultation to closing, Wajiha was attentive, knowledgeable, and a true professional.
One thing I appreciated about Wajiha was her ability to listen to my needs and wants, and then tailor her approach accordingly. She never made me feel pressured to make a decision or compromise on something that wasn't right for me. Instead, she took the time to explain every step of the process, offer expert advice, and provide me with all the information I needed to make an informed decision.
Wajiha's expertise in the local real estate market was also invaluable. She was able to quickly identify properties that met my criteria and had a good understanding of the market trends in the area. She was always available to answer my questions and provide me with updates on the properties I was interested in.
Once I found the perfect home, Wajiha guided me through the negotiation process and ensured that all the necessary paperwork was completed correctly and on time. She was also there to help with any post-closing issues and made sure that I was completely satisfied with my purchase.
Overall, my experience working with Wajiha was exceptional, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Wajiha's professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to her clients make her an outstanding real estate agent, and I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her.

We had a wonderful experience working with Brad when selling our home. There is a large selection of realtors in the bay area but Brad is a shining star with his attention. He is definitely the hardest worker in the room. Throughout the entire process Brad made sure we were well informed and kept an organized outline for us to understand the several milestones a long the way. Brad's network of contractors who helped us ready the house for sale is fantastic and Brad did a wonderful job of overseeing the projects on hand. When it comes to working with a realtor, it is important they dedicate their effort and resources to getting the best value out of your investment, and I can confidently say Brad did exactly that.

Brad Gill is a very professional meticulous real estate agent from the beginning of the transaction to the end. Brad goes above and beyond what any real estate agent has ever done in the past that I have worked with. My husband and I would highly recommend Brad to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. Our house had multiple offers in 5 days after listing it. Even through the inspection process with some challenges, Brad was able to problem solve whatever came up and worked through everything seamlessly. An A++ job!

Brad & his team did an excellent job in guiding us through the very stressful and anxious process of selling our home. He understood what our expectations and was forthcoming with advise! I can't say enough great things of his assistant, Melinda! How she managed to stay on top of all the viewings was so impressive! Brad was very receptive to our ideas and his recommendations were on target. The media campaign -- pictures, videos, brochures, were amazing! We highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home. Super professional & accessible!

It is with pleasure and gratitude that we share our experience with Bradley Gill in the listing and sale of our home. While we have bought and sold a number of houses, we have never before encountered such a level of excellence.
The experience at each phase of the sales effort was superior, such as innovative efforts in developing prospects, useful insights on pre-listing renovations/staging, effective showings and proactive facilitation during the sale negotiations. All of these tasks, whether business-related or interpersonal, were accomplished with a noticeable degree of competence, humility, integrity and grace.
We highly recommend Bradley Gill for residential real estate needs.

Wajiha Tareen on the Brad Gill team was so helpful in helping my husband and me purchase a home. Wajiha was very patient with our list of specific criteria, and for taking us to look at various homes. When it came to making an offer, Wajiha was very helpful in getting details for the negotiation, and putting together everything we needed. I would recommend using Wajiha and the Brad Gill team again.

I highly recommend the Brad Gill Team! Top notch client support, complete knowledge of market trends and analytics, seamless approach to selling your home, everything taken care of and, in my case, a transaction above asking price, with numerous offers in one week! Well worth a conversation with Brad to see how his team can help you.

Wajiha is an excellent realtor! I really enjoyed working with her. She is super responsive at pretty much any time of day, night, or weekend! She's just a call or 10 min text away! She is super on top of any needs I had (eg. if i wanted to know something about the house she'd call the realtors, the city, or whoever could get her an answer). She even negotiated my closing costs away for me! She's super knowledgable and never pushed me along the way, really supplementing the house search and making it enjoyable. I can't stress enough how important it is to not feel rushed to buy a house and how important it is to feel like your realtor is on your side. I'd recommend Wajiha to anyone!

My fiancé and I are first home buyers, and we couldn’t have asked for a better agent than Wajiha. It really stood out to us how thorough and patient she was from the moment we met.
We felt comfortable and confident that we were in good hands despite our inexperience as she took the time to walk us through every step of the process. She consistently contacted us to keep us updated and to answer any questions we had —whether it was about listings, comps, renovations, or just real estate jargon alphabet soup.
She kept in mind all of our preferences for a single family home but also worked within our budget. We never felt rushed or pressured to settle nor to go beyond our means.
With Wajiha’s guidance and expertise, we were able to buy a home we love.

It is really a pleasure to work with Brad to sell my home. Brad is an experienced realtor in my area and he is very transparent and realistic. I chose Brad because he can manage my whole process of moving out, updating interior, cleaning, carpet steaming, staging and the listing process. He arranged everything so well that my house started repainting and flooring right after I move out, got listed on MLS about about 1 week and sold within 1 month. Considering all the work needed, that is amazingly fast. He does quality work preparing all the materials and marketing efforts, including SEOs, high quality video and photos, professional-grade prints, etc. The whole process is very satisfying. Highly recommend!

We want to thank Wanda Klor and Brad Gill for the fantastic job they did helping us sell our home. They were there with great support and advise every step of the way, even after we moved 1200 miles away in the middle of the process. Wanda and Brad kept everything on track. Thanks for making this a smooth and effort less transaction, thanks to your coaching and advise we made top dollar on our home and are gliding into retirement with no financial worries.
You can't go wrong with this team.

Brad helped me sell my condo. I had a very good experience working with Brad. He is an honest and thorough professional. He took the effort to help me understand each step in the selling process and patiently answered all my questions. He was always available on phone whenever I needed him. He has great attention to detail and even helped me in preparing/staging my home for the sale. He was also very considerate in handling my pet as needed during the process. His grasp of the market and his work ethics, dedication, honesty and openness make him a must-have in your team if you are looking to buy/sell your home in the bay area. Overall, he is very considerate, practical and easy to work with. If I ever wanted to buy/sell a home in the bay area, I would definitely go back to Brad.

Brad was our agent and we strongly feel we would not have got the house we liked so much if it was not for him. We recently closed the purchase successfully. The market is very tough for buyers in Silicon Valley and there are multiple offers on any house that has good schools. Ours was completely renovated one as well and so the competition was tougher. But he was able to guide us to quote for the right price and get the house. Brad is very knowledgeable and can point out any issues with the house even though they are mentioned explicitly in the reports. So you get a better feel for the estimated expenses. He was very helpful with the move and also recommending good contractors for any maintenance work.

Brad & his team were very thoughtful in their work & communication. The process of selling a home, especially one that you have genuinely invested your soul in is definitely one of the most stressful & emotionally exhausting things that you can do. Brad & his team were very mindful of this & patient with us. We were very much impressed of how well his team spoke of him & the work he does — I would highly recommend Brad to anyone who is seeking to sell their home or buy a new home! Great work!

Brad was great to work with. I was a first time buyer who had absolutely no clue what I was doing or really even looking for. I started looking in January of 2014 and I was moved into my new place by the middle of July. He was a tremendous help through the whole process and was always there when I needed something.
Highly recommended!!!

We feel very lucky to have met Brad and his team, who were referred to us by our former realtor. Brad really worked with us based on our situation and budget to prep our property. Great knowledge, instinct and vision! Also a wonderful network of talented teams! The renovation, the staging and the promo video came out amazing! The property was sold within a week or so! In addition to that, we proceeded with this whole process of selling of our property completely remotely. Brad and his team made it very easy and even joyful throughout the process! Thank you so much for all your help!

We have recently sold our house and bought another one with Brad's help. He was highly recommended to us and he lived up to our expectations.
A great listener.
Brad focused first on what we wanted to accomplish and then proceeded to make recommendations that we chose from. . He helped us find a house that was right for us price-wise as opposed to trying to push us over our budget, which showed us that he was more interested in the quality of his service than he was in maximizing his commission. We were able to achieve our goals because he put us first.
Great Marketing acumen.
Using multimedia to market our house was new to us but we decided to trust in Brad's expertise and attention to detail. The results exceeded our expectations, from very high open house traffic to multiple high quality offers on our house. We could not have asked for a better agent than Brad.
Having an agent that truly is there for you and literally accompanies you the entire selling/buying process makes a huge difference. In the end we felt that we just went through a life-changing process without much difficulty because Brad made it as stress-free for us as it could be.
We don't see ourselves buying or selling a house in the future without going through Brad again. We highly recommend him to anyone contemplating buying or selling a house.

I would rate Brad very high when it comes to buying or selling a house. He is very knowledgeable and he knows in and out of home buying and selling process. Coming from a financial background gives him a unique way of helping his customer find the right home, and financing opportunities. He understands his customer needs and he never tries to push anything. He gives recommendation after explaining the facts and leaves the decision making to his customers. I also like his documentation procedures. He documents everything, makes it simple and keeps it online, so that it becomes easily accessible.

I highly recommend Brad as a buyer's agent. He helped us come up with a competitive price to offer. Our offer was accepted when there were some cash offers and an offer that had a higher price. Apparently we made good decisions on what contingencies to have on our offer. After our offer was accepted, Brad continued to guide us through the closing process. He communicated with the loan officer, buyer, buyer's agent, the title company when there was a need. He even helped us with remodeling and fixing some minor termite issues. I feel Brad truly values us as customers before and after closing. Brad is very familiar with new technologies. We pretty much did everything on computer. That saved me a lot of time and gave me the flexibility I needed as I work long hours. Brad is always very responsive.
Again, I highly recommend Brad.

We could not have received better or more professional service in selling our mother-in-law's condo due to her need to move to an assisted living facility.
Their presentation both in the form of staging and video marketing left nothing to be desired.
Their pricing suggestions were dead on point.
The closing happened on schedule.
This transaction required co-ordination with four family members one of which lives on the east coast. Everyone is still talking to each other thanks to Brad's great effort.
If this sounds like an endorsement for the use his office again if the need arose, it is.

I recommend Brad Gil from Realty World. He sold our home in about a week for 18 percent above asking price. His aggressive marketing package put him above the competition. He staged our home and videotaped it for Internet exposure. We had over 1,000 hits on Trulia and other websites. He also made all the paperwork hassle so easy with docusign. My husband and I interviewed other real estate agents before we made our decision to use Brad to sell our home. He was the only one who had a clear plan for what to do spefically to sell the house. With so much money at stake here, why would we play games with someone who did not have a plan.

We worked with Brad for 8 months looking for our next home. We were looking for a home that met our numerous requirements at a fair price, which was difficult during this "sellers" market. Brad was always accessible and willing to investigate potential houses. Once we were in contract, he kept us updated during every step. We are very happy with the overall experience, new house, and price paid.
We didn't realize how excellent of a job he does until we listed our home for sale with a highly rated and experienced local agent. The agent was very passive and did not appear to put much effort into the sale. This is in the Bay Area outskirts where there is a lot more inventory.

Brad Gill’s Team is excellent in every sense of the word.

We worked with Wajiha during our home buying process. She was our realtor through a long search for a near-perfect home. We took about 4-5 months to reach a decision, contributed by our ask to match a certain kind of home with our budget. Wajiha worked diligently on our requirements and constantly helped us find homes. She is a good communicator and kept us informed of all activity on the houses. She knows the Bay Area quite well, especially the South Bay. She is pro-active in terms of getting the reports, comps of houses so that a buyer is well informed. Thanks to Wajiha and her knowledge of movement in the housing market, we got a very beautiful house at the right price. She read into the market and advised us on making the right offer. It has been a very good experience working with Wajiha.

Brad Gill's services were exemplary and he went beyond the expectations of an agent. He provided full staging services, professional photographer, personalized pro video tour of our home and mapped layout which added to his already impressive marketing plan. He was instrumental in negotiating $156,000 OVER the asking price of our home, with 9 quality offers. We found Brad to be professional, honest, and kept us in constant communication throughout the entire process. We highly recommend him as a realtor.

Brad was great! Very easy to work with - deeply knowledgeable of the area - and easy to communicate with. We were relocating from Plano, TX - and knew very little about the local (and very different to TX) real estate market.
We found a home after just a couple of weekends of looking with Brad - and Brad helped us make an offer that was accepted immediately - while not overpaying for the market conditions.
Brad also connected us with a lending professional, as well as and architect and contractor for renovations. All of Brad's recommendations have been excellent - he is obviously very well plugged in to the local market.
Brad comes with my highest recommendations - you won't go wrong with him!

Brad is the best real estate agent we have ever encountered. He is knowledgeable about the market as well as the neighborhoods. He gives sound and honest advice. He is attentive, patient and not pushy. He is very flexible with schedules and is accommodating with our needs.
We met Brad when we became curious about a listing he had but were not yet ready to buy. Brad understood our situation and took us around the area to learn about the market in addition to seeing a variety of properties to gauge our interests. He asked us not to feel rushed and gave us room to explore.
When we found the property we loved and decided to move on the purchase, Brad carefully guided us through every step of the process. He also brought in needed resources and experts along the way that we otherwise would have struggled to find. He was instrumental in easing our anxieties during what we knew would be a very stressful time.
We highly recommend Brad to anyone who's looking for a great real estate agent in the Santa Clara (and surrounding) counties. In fact, we continue to work with Brad on current and future real estate needs.

It was very helpful to have an agent that knew our location well.

Right from suggesting to scheduling home visits to also joining us for every house visit, Wajiha was very helpful. Also, she never was trying too hard to make us buy a home but was honest in the reviews that she gave about the houses we saw. She also helped us in finding good credit unions and also the contractors. Highly recommend for anyone trying to get a home.

We have just sold our home through Next Home Lifestyles and I highly recommend using them. The Brad Gill Team helped us through the process with ease and efficiency.
Having lived in our home for forty-six years, selling it was a big decision to make. But knowing our senior years were upon us, we decided the timing was right and so we made the call to Brad. Our first appointment was impressive. Brad came with charts and numbers that were indicative of the market we were in and discussed his method of selling. He was upfront and gave us a timeline of what to expect and what we needed to do to make the sale a smooth one.
Once we made the decision, his team all rose to the occasion. His aide, Mellyn, was cheerful, sensitive, and efficient as she worked with us through some of the details: staging, inspections, and appointments. His aide Melinda worked with us on disclosures and any legal matters that needed to be addressed. And Brad was always in the loop and ready to answer any questions we might have.
Following his strategy and marketing blitz, our house sold within in a week of listing, having had multiple offers - far exceeding our listing price. While selling a house, especially one that is near and dear to you, can be a stressful process, The Brad Gill Team handled the process with ease, making our experience a positive one and one I would recommend to others.

Derek and Becky were the exact partners we needed as first-time homebuyers. We were matched on Zillow when we decided to start looking in earnest, and we're glad we were. Derek and Becky have an incredible amount of experience and insight, and patiently answered all of our questions and concerns. We truly felt like they were on our side. When we had our bid accepted, and faced a tight closing timeline before an upcoming international trip, Derek and Becky went above and beyond, working with the seller, our mortgage broker, the HOA and the title company to ensure that we were able to sign and receive our keys before we had to leave! They made things easy for us, and we felt like we were in great hands. All throughout the process, Derek and Becky were transparent, communicative and straightforward. We highly recommend them and NextHome Lifestyles.

I met Guian in one of the open homes he hosted back in late October and Guian started helping us out right away by identifying our preferences and sending listings on a daily basis. Along the way he kept in touch every day or so to get our feedback on the homes as well as making sure our interest stays intact during the entire house searching process. Guian was very enthusiastic and helpful in trying to meet our needs. He toured several homes/areas with us and we made couple of offers, The second offer we made worked out thanks to both Guian and Brad making sure to close the home in a timely fashion. They had a great relationship with the listing agent and made sure the deal went through. Special shout out to Brad for pushing the deal to the finish line. Once the ofter was accepted, Guian made sure all the dots were properly connected and took a very active role in the paperwork that ensured.
Also the lender we went with was also recommended by Brad &Co and that was super helpful and that helped to close on time.
Guian of course stayed in touch with the lender the whole process and made sure things feel in place. Also we closed the home when we were out of state, so Guian handled all the property inspections during closing and made sure the repairs we found during the inspection process were addressed before closing.
All in all it was a good buy and I am happy to have found Brad's team. I have no hesitation in recommending them and would work with them in the future again

From the very beginning, my husband and I felt very comfortable with Brad Gill. This was our first time talking to anyone about purchasing a home, so to say the least; we had no clue what we were doing. But Brad walked us through every step of the way.
The first day Brad took us out to look at homes, the very first home he showed us ultimately ended up being the one we bought. We were working with the VA for our loan, and Brad helped us work with the lender as well, as the VA lending is a bit different than regular lenders (so we were told).
I would recommend Brad Gill to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home, in fact, I already have. This can be a very scary, stressful, and exciting time for anyone ready to buy a home. And I honestly believe after working with Brad, that if it weren't for him, my husband and I would not be home owners, or in the home of our dreams!!!

It was great working with Brad to sell our Silicon Valley home. The schedule was quite tight as we were relocating out of CA for a new job. Brad and his team were able to get our home on the market within a month, he had a buyer within 2 weeks, and negotiated a quick escrow too. He made great decisions on staging our home and showing it in the best light possible. Brad was always available to answer our questions and concerns, if not with a live visit, then promptly by phone, text, or email. We would work with Brad again in a heartbeat. Too bad he doesn't cover New Jersey (our new home).

Brad did a number of things that made the sale process go more easily for me. He helped me understand the current market and how to price the house in a changing market. He listened well to my concerns and needs, communicated clearly about process, and he did a great job balancing what I wanted with what he believed I needed to have a successful sale. Brad’s approach is practical and collaborative, not directive. This worked really well for me. He gave me lots of time to talk through decisions, reminding me of the big picture when we had a few surprises from the buyer, and helped me come to reasonable decisions. His team and any people who helped during the prep and sale process were all great. Although Brad’s office is not near my location, he was always available on site when needed and responsive via text, email, and phone. I’m very happy that Brad was my agent and would highly recommend him.

I recommend Brad and his entire team for anyone needing professionals to help sell or buy a new home. He helped me every step of the way unlike several other agents I had been working with before who left me abandoned because I was having difficulty making life decisions about moving.
His clear plan of action was what I needed. His team came in did all the work , preparing my home for sale , staging...photographs..vidios..even helped me pack. Then I was able to find a new home in Morgan Hill.
I can't recommend him and his team enough. I would give him 6 stars if I could.

I got Brad's referral thru a friend of mine who had closed a real estate transaction in Apr'15. I wanted to sell my house 10,000 miles away from bay area and you know what - it worked like a charm. First I owe it to my friend who gave the reference and lastly to Brad who was really instrumental in making this happen. He is a thorough professional with great commitment.
I will recommend to every person that I know in Bay Area to seek his services to buy/sell. You rock Brad.

I would recommend Wajiha from Brad's team to anyone who is looking to buy a house. Wajiha has been super supportive in our really long and difficult house search. She has been super patient with us and guided us through out the process. She has stood by us every step of the way and given us the best advice and always with a smile on her face. I don't think we would be able to become home owners without her help. Thank You Wajiha for everything !

My husband and I can highly and confidently recommend Brad. He is very knowledgable on the silicon valley area housing market and was able to hone in on the type of home we were looking for in neighborhoods that met our requirements including budget. I thought some of his honest observations regarding some of the homes we were thinking of making offers on were helpful to us in determining whether to move forward with offers or not. As well, he is very well connected in the community so was able to recommend builders, architects, etc. to help get us started on our remodel. He was instrumental in helping us close on the first home were decided to make an offer on. As well, he's enjoyable to be around!

Simply the best! Brad took a very difficult property situation for me, both financially and personally, and made the selling process very easy. He handled all the marketing and open houses as well as the staging, cleaners, painting and yard repair. Plus he walked me through all the offers, how the escrow process works and the communication w/the buyer. As a first time home seller I was very impressed w/him and his team.

I had an excellent experience with Brad. He was honest and cared for his clients. He will always tell you the truth about the local market conditions and ensure that you understand.
He followed up with requests, and was always reachable. With the current market conditions, he was always up to date, and level set expectations.
He negotiated in full faith, and if we had to give something, he made sure it was well grounded in the opportunity.
I was really happy with Brad, and would recommend him to my closest friends.

As a first-time homebuyer, I was incredibly fortunate to have Wajiha by my side throughout the process. From our very first meeting, I felt a sense of comfort and confidence in her knowledge and expertise.
What truly sets Wajiha apart is her genuine passion and interest in our needs. It wasn't just about finding any house; she was fully invested in helping me find a home within our constraints and move into the home smoothly. In a competitive Bay Area market I could find and close a house in a month thanks to her. Wajiha also connected me with excellent lenders who offered a competitive loan package and quick turnaround time to aid in my home searching process.
Wajiha's responsiveness and quick action were invaluable. When we found a house we liked, she quickly enquired and discovered that the seller was reviewing offers the next day. Within a few hours, she arranged and accompanied us for a showing, guided us through the disclosures, and patiently answered all our questions. This allowed us to submit a competitive offer, ultimately leading to us getting the house and moving in!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wajiha to anyone searching for a realtor. She made what can be a stressful experience smooth, enjoyable, and ultimately successful. The great part is even after closing Wajiha continues to help when I need any help or advice with being a homeowner.

Deciding to sell a home and who to choose as a realtor can be overwhelming. We interviewed a few potential realtors and it became clear which realtor to go with. Brad Gill came to our home, reviewed our situation, and presented his strategy. His presentation was clear, and we had seen very positive results for another home he had recently sold in our neighborhood. Major projects take work ; planning , implementation and follow through. Brad Gill Team excelled in all areas of the process. Like all successful teams it takes collaboration and execution from all members.
Brad’s team did a great job :
• He brought in an expert designer to help us with preparation
o Cost Effective Fixes / Tweaks that would really help the house show
o Staging the Home to Look like a Model
• Great Photos and Video Presentations
Just look at the Online Video and Photos of our Home
• Marketing Strategies
Setting the right price to get maximum exposure and interest
• Negotiating seems to be his expertise
We learned what are the key components to consider in accepting any offer
He made it easy for us , he explained what was going on, and we followed his recommendations
• He has great team members to help things stay organized and take care of the Paperwork
Paper Work ; oh yes lots of paper work , but his team made it easy
But most of all his team does a great job of communicating and keeping things on track. During the whole process we felt like we were part of the team , and like any good team, we felt connected as we succeeded in achieving our goals. We highly recommend you consider Next Home Brad Gill team if you are considering selling your home.

Brad helped us upgrade to a single family home. Unlike most other agents who just prefer you to be done with your purchase with few offers, or the Redfin and Ziprealty agents who work with you on all transactions but lack the personal or local touch to get you the best deal, Brad is what an ideal buyers agent should be. He informs you of both the pitfalls and plusses of a particular property even if it means a failed transaction for him. On some properties (which we did not buy) he pointed us to the pitfalls which we had overlooked earlier.
He not only got us a good deal as he worked and negotiated well on our behalf, but he also dealt with un foreseen circumstances that may pop up after offer acceptance in a effective and professional way. He also referred us to contractors and architects after the deal closed.
If i have to sum it up, Brad is the ideal real estate agent for your transactions today!

I would highly recommend Brad as an agent! I was representing my father in the sale of home in San Jose and I live in the North bay. Talk about nervous not knowing any agents in that area. Thank God, for the internet and finding Brad. He was prompt, courteous, professional and kept me updated through out the sale of my father's home. He met with us and looked at the home, asked us questions about what we wanted and what our goals were. From there he went to work and we sold our home quickly, efficiently and most importantly honest! I would definitely use Brad for any future purchases of a home or sales of a home.

Mike was extremely professional and helped us get a property in a very tough market. He was not pushy and actually dissuaded us from investing in properties which in his opinion were overpriced. In the final sale also he was able to negotiate very well with the listing agent and handled a complicated scenario with finesse. I would strongly recommend Mike for buying/selling properties.

Brad was our buyers agent. First he had a discussion with us and understood all our requirements and priorities clearly. Then he accompanied us to many different houses and helped us make a decision. He was even ready to lose a transaction by listing out all the cons of the house that the first time home buyers couldn’t find. He was always on top of the things and was very prompt on responding to our calls and mails even at midnight. As far as the escrow is concerned, with his help it was just a breeze for us. It was a pleasure working with him. We would definitely recommend Brad to anyone who are looking to buy a house.

My wife and I have worked with Brad on several transactions, and, if the opportunity arises, we plan to do so again. I've recommended him to family and friends, and will do so again. Brad's enthusiasm, curiosity, knowledge and friendliness have helped us time and time again, whether it was buying our first house, making sense of some on-line resources, or just trying to understand the dynamics of the real estate market, Brad is our first call, and he's never left us disappointed.

As first-time homebuyers, Wajiha offered great insights, guidance, and resources that made the process much smoother and less overwhelming. We really appreciate how she shared the pros and cons of each home we visited, helping us make well-informed decisions. Additionally, her proactive approach in sending us information about upcoming new homes demonstrates her dedication and commitment to finding us the perfect fit. Wajiha's kind, joyful, and enthusiastic nature must have made the experience even more enjoyable. Having a positive and supportive person like her by our side during such an important milestone truly makes a difference.

Wajiha is an amazing real estate agent to work with. Even as as first time buyers in this crazy sellers' market, my husband and I still had a very positive experience all thanks to Wajiha.
We had so many questions and she was very patient with us through each and every step. From our initial call with her all through the closing process, she was extremely responsive and on top of every text, email and document! From beginning to end, we knew we were in such good hands and felt like Wajiha was always looking out for our best interest.
We are so glad to have been able to work with her, and will 100% be recommending her to all of our family and friends in need of an agent.

I was extremely fortunate to work with Wajiha from Brad's team at NextHome Lifestyles. She helped me purchase my first property and did an excellent job. I was originally referred to her, and she seamlessly helped me from start to finish. Being a first time buyer, it can be an intimidating process. However Wajiha constantly made the process super easy by guiding me step by step, providing expert feedback on the market as well as reliable contact info on network partners (lenders, contractors etc). She was very professional and responsive. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and have no hesitation in recommending her to home buyers. She was fantastic!

Brad is a fantastic resource in the home selling business.

We met Brad Gill ten years ago when we were looking to buy our first home. When it was time to sell, he was the first person we called. His team was amazing - scheduling everything, communicating with us every step of the way, answering all questions and addressing any concerns. His contractors were amazing and finished the project on time and substantially below the projected cost. The stagers made our home unrecognizable (a good thing, believe me), and once the property was listed we had immediate interest and an offer in FIVE days. 36 days later we were closing. I don’t think the process could have been any less complicated. We were truly blessed to have Brad and his team at the wheel.

Brad Gill is a very patient professional. Brad was with us in every step of the way during the purchase process. He has a superb knowledge of the Santa Clara housing market and his advice was spot on. Brad made himself available at all times of the day; for instance, he would answer calls or texts after 10:00pm. He even worked with us on putting an offer together while he was on vacation. He was with us at every step of the way during closing. His reassuring words and immediate action to any problem helped us get through the stressful experience of purchasing our first home.
My wife and I kept running into Realtors who made us feel naive for asking questions. The first time we visited Brad, we had our toddler running all around his office. Brad not only made us feel welcome, he shared good insight and demonstrated thorough knowledge of the real estate in the Bay Area. He also sat us down when we started asking questions and took the time to help us understand the process of buying a home in the Bay Area. Brad was always very flexible and always made time for my wife and I, he never brushed us off or made us feel like time for our questions was limited.
Aside from being available, something else we both loved about Brad is that he's straight-up when it comes to disseminating information. He's always optomistic but doesn't provide false hope, which can get so frustrating during the house-hunting process; he's very realistic and explains himself well. He also encouraged us to try to make an offer for homes, even if he knew it would be tough to make it happen.
We've been in our new home for a couple of months now. He helped us get it even though we were not the highest offer and there were 10 other offers. He has provided us with great maintenance/service referrals. After the sale, Brad won't just dissappear.
If you have a chance to work with Brad, YOU SHOULD DO IT!! I KNOW WE WOULD. He'll help you find your perfect home and is very trustworthy and makes the buying process less stressful.

Brad was amazing through out the selling process, right from getting the home attractive for buyers with just the right investment (without breaking the bank) to high fidelity marketing collaterals (videos/photography) to staging the house (so beautiful that we even had second thoughts :) ) to open houses to offers to closing, he was just exceptional. Every step along the way he kept us updated on every single event. He helped us price the property right and we ended up getting multiple offers all of which was above the asking price. He walked us through all offers, suggested high risk buyers to low risk and kept the perfect balance so we don't leave too much on the table. He has a pretty good and highly experienced team backing him up and it was an excellent experience working with him and his team. I and my Wife truly enjoyed working with him and we highly recommended him in my network.
I interviewed many agents, Brad stood out for us. In our first meeting itself, he got us comps, his references, everything that we needed to make the decision unlike other agents where we had to follow up to ask lot of questions. Also my situation was little unique compared to other sellers, I was relocating and had to sell the house before we boarded our flight, guess what on the day we were about to leave he leaves me a VM saying escrow closed and all done!! Very relieved, and happy. Bottomline he really cares about your needs and your requirements and tries to make it happen. In our case he certainly did! I would have no second thoughts hiring again for our housing needs.

Our experience with Bradley Gill was exceptional. He is an excellent representative of leading edge realtors. Not only can he build an excellent interactional (video) website; he is well grounded in the techniques to maximize traffic to the website. Its a plus for both the seller and the prospective buyer. We had 16 offers for our location in Sunnyvale. Brad was extremely professional in guiding us to choose the "right' buyer.
FIVE STARS absolutely.

Brad did a monumental job helping us get our townhome ready for sale, including providing a professional cadre of trades people to do all the work needed before putting our home on the market + those that helped us pack and move our belongings.
The townhome turned out fantastic and the professional marketing including 360 video tour, photo gallery and brochures available.
Brad is thoughtful, caring and a real pro. We highly recommend him to anyone selling or buying a new home.

I had the pleasure of working with Wajiha Tareen, who made the home buying process an enjoyable and stress-free experience. From the initial consultation to closing, Wajiha was attentive, knowledgeable, and a true professional.
One thing I appreciated about Wajiha was her ability to listen to my needs and wants, and then tailor her approach accordingly. She never made me feel pressured to make a decision or compromise on something that wasn't right for me. Instead, she took the time to explain every step of the process, offer expert advice, and provide me with all the information I needed to make an informed decision.
Wajiha's expertise in the local real estate market was also invaluable. She was able to quickly identify properties that met my criteria and had a good understanding of the market trends in the area. She was always available to answer my questions and provide me with updates on the properties I was interested in.
Once I found the perfect home, Wajiha guided me through the negotiation process and ensured that all the necessary paperwork was completed correctly and on time. She was also there to help with any post-closing issues and made sure that I was completely satisfied with my purchase.
Overall, my experience working with Wajiha was exceptional, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Wajiha's professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to her clients make her an outstanding real estate agent, and I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her.

Exceptional service is the wording that comes to mind when I think of the Brad Gill team. From beginning to end we had Brad and his expert team helping us through every little detail of the selling of our condominium. I don’t know of any other real estate professional that will go into a property and not only tell you what should happen to sell it but have everyone needed to make that happen. Our condo was a rental and in need of a facelift before selling. Brad managed everything from paint to Carpet to kitchen update and many other details. Once that happened in record time he then brought in the stagers to furnish the whole condo, every room including 3 decks! The place showed beautifully and was sold quickly. I highly recommend using Brad and NextHome when you are looking to buy or sell a property.

We interviewed 5 Realtors and Brad came in and blew them all away on price and what we would be getting from his team. The team was fast, efficient and everything went off fast and without a hitch.

Brad was recommended to us by friends. He has very very good knowledge of the the San Jose, East Bay, Los Gatos and beyond. From what to upgrade, what to change, what cabinets to buy he helped us all the way. He is very responsive during the process and very tech savvy. Brad's team at Eagle Properties and his extended team of inspectors (roof, termite, home), contractors really provide you a one stop shop for fulfilling all requirements for buying a new home. Even after the closing he has been helping in the entire move process. I highly recommend Brad.

Wajiha is an excellent realtor! I really enjoyed working with her. She is super responsive at pretty much any time of day, night, or weekend! She's just a call or 10 min text away! She is super on top of any needs I had (eg. if i wanted to know something about the house she'd call the realtors, the city, or whoever could get her an answer). She even negotiated my closing costs away for me! She's super knowledgable and never pushed me along the way, really supplementing the house search and making it enjoyable. I can't stress enough how important it is to not feel rushed to buy a house and how important it is to feel like your realtor is on your side. I'd recommend Wajiha to anyone!

This review is long overdue. I sold my old property and bought a new one. Brad was my agent in both of these transactions. It was a real pleasure working with him. He is very knowledgeable and extremely nice guy to work with. His service is exceptional. It was a "NO-PRESSURE" experience. You don't get that kind of experience with many realtors out there. He is not after the commission and never rush you in making any kind of decisions. He don't need any agreement to work with him like other realtors. That shows his confidence in his own work. He does keep up to that expectation.
I recommend Brad not only to all my friends/family looking to purchase but anyone out there who are looking for a real estate agent.
Thanks Brad for helping us with the real estate transaction.

Brad Gill is very professional, patient and personable. He has marketing expertise and selling expertise, which is evident in all aspects of selling, including pricing, home improvements, staging and outstanding photography.

Brad handled the sale of our home with our best interest in mind throughout. Thank you for a job well done!

Brad Gill and his team at NextHome should write a book and title it:
Pandemic Real Estate: Unprecedented Sales Strategies in a COVID19 World
We met with Brad from NextHome late last fall to plan the selling of our property for our upcoming relocation. Brad helped us with everything from a data-based timeline for optimal returns, as well as recommending needed renovations for the best ROI and excellent contractors for those renovations. No details were left out. From paint colors to hardware finishes, staging, photos, video tour, dollhouse walk-thru, Brad was the project manager for our home’s sale. We set our price and the listing date and then . . . the unthinkable happened. COVID19 and Shelter-in-Place in the 6 Bay Area counties.
How do you sell a house during an unprecedented pandemic? We were anxious and considered pulling our house off the marketing until things stabilized. But when would that be? Brad was the consummate professional and was working doubly hard to make sure he was keeping up with, and adhering to, the latest requirements and restrictions. Things were changing daily, but he was also making sure that we were always kept in the loop, which helped to calm our nerves.
With his incredible data collection, outstanding marketing and attention to detail, we were able to sell our home with multiple offers for over asking price during a pandemic.
He will tell you he’s a “numbers guy” or a “marketing nerd,” but Brad’s cool head and thoughtful insight kept us from losing our focus and a lot of money in an unforeseeable market. We cannot recommend him and his team highly enough.

Mike made the buying experience for a first time buyer a comfortable one because I had known I was in good hands from my brother knowing and using Mike himself.

Thanks Mike and I'll definitely be calling you and recommending you to family/friends.

We recently bought a house in San Jose with Brad's help and couldn't be happier with the experience. We were first time homebuyers but felt like we gained a lot of knowledge through this process. Our experience with him was the perfect mix of hands on open house tours and explanation of the buying process, while still allowing us to do some of the searching and learning on our own. We actually ended up selecting our house after he highlighted that it contained many of the items on our wish-list and that we should seriously consider the pros and cons of that specific house. The buying process was very smooth, I think the amount he suggested we offer prevented us from a bidding war, but I don't feel that we overpaid. We absolutely love our house and would absolutely recommend Brad to anyone looking for a great agent!

Steve was invaluable every step of the way of helping me find a new home. We sat down over Zoom to make sure we only looked at places I might actually be interested, contacted realtors and arranged viewings, and toured every condo and townhouse with me making sure to ask questions I hadn't even thought of yet. I never would have found my new condo without him and for a first time homebuyer in the South Bay he is an essential resource.

Brad has been amazing in helping us find a great house. He was extremely patient (since we were first time buyers), gave us really good advise and helped us throughout the strenuous process. The best part about him is that he follows up on everything making sure we have complete information and help. His dedication does not just end once we closed the house but even much after that - giving suggestions and help wherever needed.
We would use his services again and in fact he started of being our agent but ended up being a good friend and counsel. Feel free to contact us if you have more questions on our experience with eagle properties.

I highly recommend Mike for all real estate needs. Thanks Mike!

Working with Wajiha Tareen to find a home in the Bay Area was an absolute pleasure. She was extremely helpful and resourceful, and made the home search process so much less stressful. I also really appreciated that she was always willing to hop on a phone call and talk through things. She was very good at responding to emails, following up with more details, and helping to coordinate all the logistics needed to tour places. I also loved how much insight she was able to share on neighborhoods in the Bay Area, and she was able to provide many recommendations that catered to the things I was looking for. Wajiha truly cares about the people she works with and is committed to ensuring they find a home that makes them happy. I would recommend Wajiha Tareen and the NextHome Lifestyles team to anyone looking to find their new home in the Bay Area.

Overall is was a smooth experience working with them.

I had the pleasure of working with Wajiha Tareen, who made the home buying process an enjoyable and stress-free experience. From the initial consultation to closing, Wajiha was attentive, knowledgeable, and a true professional.
One thing I appreciated about Wajiha was her ability to listen to my needs and wants, and then tailor her approach accordingly. She never made me feel pressured to make a decision or compromise on something that wasn't right for me. Instead, she took the time to explain every step of the process, offer expert advice, and provide me with all the information I needed to make an informed decision.
Wajiha's expertise in the local real estate market was also invaluable. She was able to quickly identify properties that met my criteria and had a good understanding of the market trends in the area. She was always available to answer my questions and provide me with updates on the properties I was interested in.
Once I found the perfect home, Wajiha guided me through the negotiation process and ensured that all the necessary paperwork was completed correctly and on time. She was also there to help with any post-closing issues and made sure that I was completely satisfied with my purchase.
Overall, my experience working with Wajiha was exceptional, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Wajiha's professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to her clients make her an outstanding real estate agent, and I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her.

We moved houses recently and Brad was our agent both on the listing side and the buying side. Brad's really stood out on his thoughtful approach and meticulous execution. Here are a few things that impressed us on the selling and the buying side.
Selling side:
- Brad invested in staging and cleaning costs our house and linked us up with reputed contractors for the repairs we needed before we put the house on market. He was more particular than us on only investing on the required repairs. For instance, when we suggested we replace the carpet, he stopped us by pointing out new buyers may have their own preference and stopped us from spending on carpets.
- He created high quality marketing material. From what I remember, our's was the only house in our neighborhood, with high quality glossy, card finish flyers, and a youtube video of house walk-through. I am sure this made the prospective buyers feel they were investing in quality property
- Guided us professionally through the offer - counter offer process: One incident that stands out: Because we were doing a selling and buying at the same time, the transaction closing on-time was very important to us. Brad guided us away from offers that looked risky with clear explanation of why. In the end, our house closed in exactly five weeks from when it was listed and for 10% more (11% to be precise) than what we listed
- Communicated relentlessly with the buying agent: When there was a misunderstanding from the buyer about some tax charges, Brad went above and beyond what is expected of him to research relevant material and explain to the buyer's agent that there was nothing out of place in the tax charges. The sales would have derailed at this point, if not for Brad.
Buying side:
- Brought with him a great team: Brad brought in an amazing team that worked well with us. The mortgage broker he recommended was awesome (Special shot out to Nathalie Yang from Wells Fargo. She deserves a separate recommendation), and got the loan documents done on time without any drama. He recommended us contractors from his network for the pre-move in fixes to the house that were both reasonably priced and got the job on time.
- Methodically guided us through the house selection process: Brad was very methodical in the house selection process. One incident that stands out, Even after we tentatively selected the house, he took us to a couple more comparable properties so we can be certain that we got the best value for our money
- Worked well with the sellers agent: Brad worked well with the sellers agent through the negotiation process and got us the best value while ensuring the negotiation does not break down. Also, we wanted to do a religious ceremony at the house (normally done after closing, but had to do it right before closing because of my travel). Brad worked with the sellers agent and the sellers and got us permission to the ceremony at the house.
I strongly recommend Brad for your real estate needs. Please reach out to me if you need a more detailed referral.
Thanks,

We had the pleasure of working with Wajiha, who went above and beyond to help us find our dream home. From the moment we started working together, she was dedicated to understanding our needs and preferences, and she spent countless hours showing us properties that fit our criteria.
She is very knowledgeable about the local market and provided us with valuable insights and advice throughout the process. She is also very responsive to our needs and concerns, and always made sure that we were comfortable and informed every step of the way. In one of the viewings, she also helped us get a contractor on site to give an estimate of the home improvements that we were interested in doing.
One thing that really stood out to us was how accommodating Wajiha was when it came to driving to different properties. Some of the homes we looked at were quite far from our location. Despite the distance, she remained patient and focused on finding us the perfect home. Her dedication to her clients is truly admirable, and we feel fortunate to have worked with such a professional and caring real estate agent. She was always available to answer our questions and address any concerns we had, and she never made us feel rushed or pressured to make a decision. The entire process was smooth and stress-free, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.
We would highly recommend Wajiha to anyone looking for a professional and caring real estate agent. She truly put our needs first and worked tirelessly to ensure we found the right home.

We met The Brad Team during an open house and within hours we got enough details that we were convinced to work with this team. Overall, the process went very well and received detailed information at regular intervals, including comps, market insights, regular listing updates and much more. My agent was very responsive and available even late in the evening to clarify any questions. My agent was very transparent and empathetic to a great extent.
We also got some good references to help with few enhancements and the work is currently going well.

Excellent experience with Brad's team. Wajiha was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was responsive and understanding of my needs and went above and beyond to reach out to prospective sellers (on and off market) to find "THE HOME" for me. I trusted her with her judgement and we worked together to look at houses, discuss the pros and cons, find the house that had all that I was looking for and make an offer that could not be refused. She did not come across as a typical sales agent who was aggressively trying to push the first possible property my way. I sincerely appreciate the human touch that she provided in our business relationship.
Thanks Wajiha and the Brad Gill team!

Brad Gill did a great job listing and marketing our unique home, the creative videos got everyone's attention. By using cutting edge marketing we got tons of exposure. The web targeting and Facebook advertising created great buzz and solid foot traffic. Brad and Mike did lots of successful Open Houses to connect with our target market. We have worked with Mike Gill in the past and have had great results in this transaction and are happy with the performance and process. We worked with Eagle to purchase, refinance, and sell this property; and that says a lot. Brad can "get it Sold."
