Real Estate 38 | Zaid Hanna – San Jose Realtor

Zaid and Regina were extremely helpful and professional throughout our home-buying journey. They supported us not only in purchasing our second home but also played a key role in helping us secure our first home earlier, which speaks volumes about their consistency and dedication. They are very patient and take the time to truly understand their clients’ needs, preferences, and long-term goals. Their attention to detail made the entire process smoother and less stressful, as they were always proactive in identifying potential issues and addressing them early. What stood out most was their reliability and trustworthiness. We always felt well-informed and guided with honesty, without any pressure or rush. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to their clients’ best interests. We would confidently recommend Zaid and Regina to anyone looking for dependable and client-focused realtors.

Zaid and Shilpa from Real Estate 38 have helped us buy two homes over a course of 3 years, and we've had a fantastic experience both times. Shilpa (who we worked more closely with) is knowledgeable, responsive, and always looking out for her clients' best interests. At the same time, she's realistic and honest about the situation. She follows through on her commitments, stays on top of every detail, and is always on time and prepared. We trusted her completely throughout both transactions and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.

Zaid was great to work with and exactly the kind of agent we needed for our situation. We were in a unique position where we ended up buying the condo we were already renting from our landlords, and Zaid helped walk us through the whole process without ever making us feel pushed in one direction. Before we decided that was the right course of action, he showed us other houses and options in the neighborhoods we were interested in, which helped us compare everything and feel confident in our decision. What I appreciated most was that his attitude was always, “Whatever you want to do, I’ll help you figure it out.” At the same time, he gave us his honest opinion on what seemed like a good investment and what didn’t. In the end, we got the place at a price we were comfortable with, and Zaid made the whole process feel much more manageable. I’d absolutely work with him again for our next purchase.

If you are looking to buy a home in South San Jose—specifically in Almaden Valley, Cambrian Park, or Los Gatos—Zaid Hanna is the agent you want in your corner. His deep-rooted knowledge of these specific communities is truly unparalleled. What sets Zaid apart is his incredible sensitivity to numbers. His property value estimations and bidding accuracy are spot on, ensuring we remained highly competitive without overpaying. He doesn’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach; instead, he crafts personalized tactical plans specifically tailored to his client’s unique financial situation and goals. Most importantly, Zaid is a true professional who never pushes his clients. He was incredibly patient throughout the entire process and never pressured us into making a decision. He prioritized our family's best interests and comfort level above all else. For anyone seeking a strategic, data-driven agent who respects your pace and provides expert guidance, I cannot recommend Zaid Hanna highly enough!

Shilpa was incredibly helpful and supportive from the very beginning of our home-buying journey. As first-time homebuyers, we were new to the process and the Bay Area real estate market, and she took the time to thoroughly educate us and guide us through every step. She was always patient with our questions and made sure we understood what to expect at each stage. One of Shilpa’s biggest strengths is her deep knowledge of the local market and her ability to break down complex information in a way that’s easy to understand. She toured many homes with us and provided thoughtful insights on the condition of the homes, potential red flags, and resale considerations. Her perspective helped us evaluate properties carefully and make informed decisions before putting in an offer. She was also extremely responsive and proactive throughout the process. Whether it was reviewing disclosures, helping us interpret inspection reports, or answering our many questions, she made sure we felt confident at every step. When it was time to make an offer, Shilpa helped us determine a competitive price and guided us on negotiation strategies. Her experience and calm approach during negotiations were invaluable, and we truly felt she was advocating for our best interests. Thanks to her support, we were able to find a home we truly love. We are very grateful for everything she did for us and highly recommend Shilpa and the Zaid Hanna team to anyone looking to buy a home.
