Raaj Shankla, Palm Realty Boutique

"Raaj has a ton of deep and wide ranging knowledge and expertise that span many areas of real estate, as well as valuable contacts throughout the community that he can leverage to gain additional information find additional services if needed at later stages in the process. We spent a long time looking for our new home and we were interested in several properties along the way; time after time Raaj’s effort was impressive and his insight and advice were invaluable."

"We met Raaj at an open house in Culver City. As we were trying to close on a home from the east coast, we required Raaj's help on the ground in LA. I would look at Zillow almost daily and get numerous alerts and Raaj was responsive to our requests and saw three properties quickly. He guided us through a lengthy escrow process. After closing, Raaj was most helpful in getting our home settled and was willing to go to our house twice in order to pick up packages and wait through a furniture delivery. Overall, it was a fairly smooth process and Raaj is very easy to work with!"

"I was introduced to Raaj as a friend of my fiancee when we started looking for a house. I have to say, I couldn't be happier with the results. Raaj is thorough, knowledgeable, and personable. We had to take some time to find the perfect place, but when we did, Raaj totally nailed making sure we got it at the best price. And as we were going through the closing process, he completely went the extra mile, whether it was making sure we knew what the next 3 steps were, or finding us the right people to hire for our home improvements. He was still giving us references and helping us even after we moved in. I wholeheartedly would recommend Raaj to anyone."

"Raaj was our agent for the purchase of our first home and working with him was great! He took the time to get to know us and understand our priorities. He kept communication open and was always super patient, especially when my wife and I weren't necessarily on the same page. When we found the place we wanted, he went the extra mile to build a strong rapport with the selling agent. Without a doubt, this effort paid off when there were multiple offers and Raaj was able to make sure we did what we had to do to have the winning offer. Throughout the escrow period, Raaj helped us coordinate and manage multiple visits for inspectors and contractors, so that we were able to hit the ground running with some renovations literally the day after closing. Now, we couldn't be happier with our home. After our experience, we consider Raaj a family friend and absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a home."

"We bought a house in the South Bay and Raaj made this stressful endeavor as easy as it could be. From looking into homes for us for soooo long, finding a lender, making offers, getting rejected, researching homes again, to finally finding the one, he maintained professionalism and kept us encouraged and sane. He was so patient with us. He kept communication open, walked us through any part of the home buying process that we questioned, checked up on us to make sure we were comfortable with even the most minute of decisions, and was overall dependable. We were one of many offers and Raaj's professional relationship with the listing agent helped to get our offer accepted. We also had some renovations that needed to be done before move in and he continued to be a great resource. He pointed us in the right direction to get things started, looked into permits and had references for contractors. Raaj is highly, highly recommended. You can't go wrong."
