We had a chance to meet Manesh Lakhani and use his expertise to buy a house in Seattle this spring. From the very first meeting, we had an impression of a true professional and as it turned out later, he was indeed an outstanding agent in the real estate market.
It was completely unknown territory for me and needless to say, I was more than afraid to make the wrong decision. We sat at a coffee shop and talked a lot about the process. Both my wife and I had tons of questions to ask, and Manesh kindly and patiently addressed our never-ending concerns. He explained potential caveats, took into account all our preferences (location, type of house, year of built, etc.) and came up with an effective strategy. I am not an expert in the real estate market, but that day I left the coffee shop with a solid understanding of what steps to take. Not only did he provide a comprehensive tour of the housing market and shopping tactics, but also made us feel confident.

If I could have given a higher rating than 5 stars for negotiation skills.. I would have!
A couple of months ago, my wife and I looked at a house that checked all of the boxes for us. It was out of our price range at the time, but it helped ground us in expectations for the Puget Sound housing market. Manesh met us no questions asked, and took us seriously as a customer even though we were incapable of buying at the time. We stayed in contact and sent Manesh nightly reviews on properties he found for us. Again... nowhere near ready to purchase.
About a month and a half ago, my wife and I came across a house we couldn't pass up. Expectations realigned, Manesh helped us understand our own sincerity in getting this done, despite our recent "not ready" history. Manesh guided us through all of the situations we must consider and his guidance was invaluable. Had it not been for Manesh's recommendations for what offer to put in and additional clauses, we would still be renters... (see web)

Based on a zillow recommendation, we met Manesh mid summer 2020. We were casually testing waters to understand what is required to purchase a home in the Redmond area. Being first time buyers, we were tentative and unsure in distinguishing reality from hype in this area. From our first meeting, Manesh earned our trust. He was honest, realistic and knowledgeable. Conversations with him have propelled us from casual tours to actual purchase in 3 months. Once we zeroed in on the home, Manesh helped us with the rest of the bidding, negotiation with the seller agent and paperwork. He was thorough following up with the multiple intermediaries ensuring that the deal goes thru timely and smooth. We were happy we worked with Manesh in purchasing our house. If we are back in the real estate market again, we will surely rely on Manesh again.

When my husband and I decided to buy our first forever home, everything was new and daunting. The market seems to fluctuate, and after losing out on a couple of places we were ready to give up. That’s when Manesh Lakhani contacted me through Zillow. What I didn’t know, was that would be the beginning of an amazing house hunting journey. Manesh was patient, knowledgeable, and most importantly always honest. As we worked closely together, he eventually knew exactly what we wanted, and gave honest feedback when he didn’t think a property was right for us (AND HE WAS RIGHT!!!).

He truly spent time getting to know us, finding those finer details that would make our hearts skip a beat in every house. Eventually we found “the one”, and our hearts were set. Manesh worked diligently to ensures that no matter where we were in the process, we were always comfortable, and had all the facts at hand. Giving us the risks, and sometimes harsh reality of the first-time buying process.. (see website)

Manesh is the best realtor I’ve ever worked with. He was great to work with and provided great insight into what to look for at properties. He did research and was flexible, making himself available for appointments even after work hours or on weekends. I think his biggest strength was the offer phase, providing good insights into aspects of what he thought a winning offer would need. He also has great contacts he has worked with for work on a property. We got a rental property that we are very happy with and would recommend Manesh to everyone.

Tremendous partner. Always available. Honest feedback, easy to trust in the process. I was able to do it all remote due to his commitment to video and great communication.

Manesh is a great realtor who understands client requirements and goes into detail by looking at various dimensions of budget, location and size. He then presents with the properties that match the requirement. One key thing is that he never pushes the client to overbid and always does the ground work of market analysis prior to reviewing the property. I strongly recommend him to any of the first time home buyers or folks looking to upgrade.

Trust was the most important aspect of this whole process for us. From the get-go Manesh made us feel heard. He struck the perfect balance between informative and allowing us space to form our own opinions. He was never pushy but knew when to push us on putting in offers on homes. He made himself available to us despite our being located on the East Coast and him on the West coast. He was genuinely a delight to work with, and on the off-chance he was unavailable, his wife Tania stepped in and did an amazing job handing over information and serving in his stead. What a fantastic team. They get the highest praise from us.

Manesh is a fantastic realtor. He cares for his clients as if they were in his own family and he's always available when you need him. With his help my partner and I were able to buy our dream home in a very reasonable timeline. I highly recommend him, but be prepared to take his advice - its expert and worthy of prioritization.

When my husband and I were searching for a home from California, we knew we needed a real estate agent who was honest, very knowledgeable of the local housing market surrounding Seattle, and with a great work ethic. Manesh and Tania were everything we were looking for and more!! Buying a home from out-of-state was stressful, to say the least, but Manesh made the whole process so much easier from start to finish. This husband-and-wife-duo were absolutely amazing to work with and I cannot recommend them enough!! We are so happy to have found them and when we’re ready to buy our next home, we’ll know exactly who to turn to for help!

Very happy to have worked with Tania this summer. She is a hard-worker, and pays attention to detail while listing your home for sale. They (Tania and her husband Maneesh) treat the house like its theirs while getting it ready to be sold. I would not hesitate to buy a home listed by them any day. No stone goes unturned and buyers can be rest assured that they are in very good hands. Incidentally, we used them as a buyers agent as well this summer and highly recommend their services.

We had wonderful experience working with Tania and Manesh. They are very attentive and followed up on every single detail and kept us updated throughout the process. They would give us their expert opinion and guided through the entire process of negotiating and helping us get our dream home. We highly recommend them and they are the best.

Manesh helped us to sell our home in Bellevue. He is highly experienced with negotiations and did a fantastic job from start to finish.

We live abroad and there is a significant time difference between us. Nonetheless, Manesh was extremely responsive 24/7. He even helped us to coordinate all the landscaping, renovations, and repairs, as well professionally stage the space.

I would highly recommend Manesh to anyone looking to make a real estate transaction.

Manesh helped us end to end through our journey of buying a home in Seattle area while we were located in East coast ,
He is very knowledgeable, helped us to make decision without pushing his opinion but by making us clear about the pros and cons of each offer,
After we won the bid he guided us throughout the process and kept us updated, he was always available for any queries and helped us to close the deal smoothly on time , he has also helped us in couple of matters after closing the deal just like a Friend would do, he has won our trust !!

We would definitely recommend him to all our friends, if you want a hassle free home buying experience please consider Manesh.

We recently relocated to the Seattle area and were so fortunate to work with Manesh and Tania. They understand the market very well and took the time to understand our needs and what we were looking for. They take a personal approach and are 100% in your court. They are always available and are everything you would hope to have when working with a real estate agent.

We worked closely with Manesh and Tania for our home purchase in a new development in Issaquah. We couldn’t have been more pleased from start to finish! They were experienced, honest, professional, responsive and extremely resourceful in all facets of our needs. They consistently went the extra step for us which really differentiates their service model. We would highly recommend for your real estate needs!!

Manesh and Tania helped us secure a perfect house in Lynnwood, WA. Starting from Day 1, they were meticulous in understanding our requirements and always provided hand-picked listings customized to our needs. They would do thorough research of the market and provide their unbiased opinion about the listings, and would patiently answer all our questions even if they were silly. Best of all, we never felt being rushed into decision making. As the market is upbeat during Covid, we were tempted to over bid occasionally, but their honest feedback helped restraining us to go beyond the right price. My wife and I would highly recommend their services to any of your real estate needs.
Looking forward to working with them again in future !!

After unexpectedly finding and falling in love with our new home, before we'd even wholly committed to the idea of moving ourselves, it was pretty overwhelming looking head-on at the amount of work we had ahead of us to sell our house. Manesh & Tania had a plan set and an answer ready for every question or problem we had. There was never a moment throughout the entire process that left us feeling like we were anything other than their highest priority. Two of the most honest and kind people we've ever had the pleasure to meet and work with.

We had a great experience with Manesh. He helped us to find a great house in Lynnwood. This was my first time buying a home, and Manesh’s expertise and advice was invaluable. He was very patient and helpful, and maintained great communication throughout the entire process.

I was blessed to find Manesh who helped me locate and purchase my new home here in the Seattle area. He walked with me every step of the way and made the whole process of purchasing a new build home not only effective, but also made suggestions that improved the quality of my new home. Work with this company - they really care and will offer you a quality, personal experience.

We worked with Manesh and Tania buying our dream home. Finding the house was totally unexpected, so to say we couldn’t have done it without their expertise is an understatement. They assisted with locating inspectors, dealing with our lender (which was a job in its own) and keeping a good working relationship with the other realtor/seller which assisted us with the purchase. They always responded to texts/calls, made me feel comfortable to reach out with any questions/concerns and always had our best interest. My husband and I felt so grateful to have them on our side through the whole process and we couldn’t have done it without them! If you want a team that really goes 110% from start to finish this is the realtor for you! Thank you for everything!!!

Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

We were first time home buyers in this crazy market and I can confidently say that the only reason we secured our dream house was because we were working with Manesh.

I'm very confident in this fact because we had another agent that we were working with who was referred to us by a friend that we felt wasn't a good fit. Well, it was a night and day difference when we started working with Manesh. Our prior agent was very experienced (about 20-30 years of experience) but Manesh is really on a different level and we knew we made the right decision from the first home we toured with him.

So what was it like working with this consummate professional?
1) PROFESSIONALISM: First of all, Manesh closely adhered to his professional duty to act as our representative and to protect our interests as his clients. This is absolutely #1 and Manesh saved us from financial ruin TWO times during our search. As first time home buyers, we were in an extremely vulnerable position and Manesh protected us ...

We are new to Seattle area and was clueless on location in our house search and had a lot of filters to consider (Vastu, facing, budget etc). Manesh was instrumental, extremely patient and knowledgeable to advise what’s best for our family. Manesh traveled with us to every nook and corner of the city in our house-hunt. Best part is his family as a team who well understand our needs and could quickly pull in all required info as you hop from home to home. He and team are available, reliable, quick, efficient and amicable - all that you need in a realtor.

Manesh &Tania were very easy to work with. They were transparent and knowledgeable & most importantly patient and carried no judgement.

Manesh is a fantastic realtor. He was always there to help us, even if it was during odd hours. He made it very easy for us to find our new house. This entire home-buying process went smoothly and without a hitch because of his expertise and knowledge of the real estate market. I'm delighted we were able to collaborate with him. Manesh is someone I would strongly suggest to anyone looking to purchase their ideal home.
