Mini Kalkat Real Estate - Los Altos, California

We just transacted the sale of our Townhouse in Mountain View and were very happy to have trusted Mini and her team to represent us. Mini and her husband Kaljeet make a great team. A very modest amount was spent with her team “fluffing” up the property, the place looked great and a ton of online interest was generated. After one open house weekend we had multiple offers and concluded with a.cash offer way above asking.

The process was very smooth and professional. I have no hesitation in recommending folks consider using Mini as their agent.

Selling our home was a daunting process, but Mini and her team made it a breeze from start to finish. Our home needed a lot of prep work, and I truly appreciated Mini's expertise in guiding us through value-based decisions on which improvements were worth making. Even with a long list of tasks, she managed the entire preparation process seamlessly, staying on schedule and within our budget.

Most importantly, Mini surpassed our expectations when it came to the final sale price, proving her exceptional experience. The whole experience exceeded our hopes, thanks to Mini and her team's dedication and professionalism.

Recently bought a home in Los Altos and Mini was a pleasure to work with. Los Altos is a competitive market and you really need someone who is well connected to the area to have the best chance to secure a place. She will help walk you through the process, has connections to financing, insurance, and her husband is a general contractor, all of which are critical. We ended up using her connections for financing and insurance, both of which were expedient and provided better financial terms than our previous quotes.

Because of the competitiveness of the market, we've heard annecdotally where people lost out on houses because of their agent, so if you are looking the Los Altos area, I highly highly recommend getting in touch with Mini.

We have had the privilege of working with Mini, and we can’t express how grateful we are in terms of the overall experience. Mini acted as both buyer & seller agent and during this journey, she and her team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for our needs.

Mini was prompt in answering our questions keeping us updated on possible scenarios, and made the entire process stress-free.

When Mini was a buyer agent, she helped us to focus on the essential items of the prospective home. She was able to tour the homes we liked and would do a huddle before writing an offer. It allowed us to keep our emotions in check to evaluate the home.

The home sale listing timeline was getting dragged during the rate hike fluctuation and we took it off the market. We understood the tactic from the buyers' side a bit late, wherein we saw multiple cases of not sending proper docs to their agent team or pre-approval team, being hard to reach or not following through on questions in the submitted docs, and using the rate change as an excuse to extend the time on the property. For a seller, these are potential red flags.

At this time, Mini helped us with a second opinion. Mini & her husband Kuljeet reviewed the home and created a working plan to make home improvements. We received periodic updates on the status of improvements.

The home was listed early this year. The neighbors mentioned the street was crowded during open house week, despite it being one of the rainy weeks.

At the time of choosing the offer, Mini & Kuljeet were transparent when the options were presented. They went the extra mile to ensure there were no red flags in the documentation that could cause obstacles ahead of the transaction close. We received multiple offers over the list price in under a week and closed the deal with the buyers' team who were easy to work with.

In summary, working with Mini & Kuljeet reemphasized the fact that they are the best who also consider their client's unique situation.

The results achieved by Mini Kalkat and her team of professionals speak for themselves. Our older house needed repairs and updates in order to maximize our selling price. Mini and her team provided a detailed set of recommendations for what needed to be done along with a proposed budget and detailed timeline. They took possession of the house one day after we moved out to begin their work. They worked very hard accomplishing a lot in a very short period of time. They had very creative solutions for cost-effectively solving some of the challenges we faced. The house was beautifully updated and staged when they were finished. They got the project finished under budget and ahead of schedule (even with last minute plan changes) which allowed us to list the property sooner than planned. We had multiple parties willing to make offers above our asking price - all within the price range that Mini had suggested was reasonable for the current market. We signed a contract with a very attractive offer to sell our house just a month and a half after we moved out and just five days after listing. Mini and her team demonstrated that they understand the local market, can effectively counsel regarding what needs to be done to maximize the selling price and they have the network of talented professionals in place to execute their plans very effectively. We are very pleased with the results and would highly recommend Mini Kalkat and her team to others in Los Altos looking to get the maximum return on the sale of their house.

I can't say enough positive things about Mini and Kuljeet, and how effectively, quickly, professionally, and kindly handled the sale of my parents home of 59 years. Having a realtor that is so familiar with the neighborhood and well connected made all aspects of the transaction smooth and efficient. They were able to utilize their expertise and human resources to quickly bring our parents home to an attractive sale quality. We also were pleased that they delivered everything that they said they would, and more. They were also kind, and sensitive to the process of us letting go of our family home. So grateful that we chose them after researching and interviewing several realtors.

Mini and Kuljeet Kalkat were amazing partners as our family sold our home under trying circumstances. Our mother had recently passed, and my brothers and I had decided to sell the family home in Sunnyvale. I selected to work with Mini based on her experience and honest, caring demeanor during our first interviews. She and Kuljeet consistently exceeded our expectations during the whole sale prep and completion process. As we lived remotely, they orchestrated an impressive esthetic remodel of the home as we prepared it to present as well as possible. Their guidance, support, and professionalism was so appreciated. I 100% recommend them for anyone seeking excellence as they sell there properties. Thanks again!

We recently had a fantastic experience buying our house thanks to Mini and Kuljeet. We were set on finding a place in Los Altos or the surrounding area, and Mini and Kuljeet went above and beyond the typical realtor service to help us achieve that goal.

If you're looking for two trustworthy partners who have in-depth knowledge of the area, including the schools, coffee shops, desirable neighborhoods, the ins and outs of closing deals successfully, post-purchase remodeling options, and everything else you need to feel truly settled in your new home, then I highly recommend Mini and Kuljeet.

As an example, we were pushing hard to meet a specific closing date (it is Los Altos, after all!), and encountered a last-minute mortgage snag. Mini responded with calm professionalism, guiding us through the challenge and ensuring we closed on time. They're truly there to support you every step of the way, even when things seem unexpected.
