What My Clients Say

Client Success Stories

"We can't say enough about how pleased we were with Niloo. She has the Sotheby's International Realty resources, but Niloo was who we dealt with in all our interactions. Her communication skills are unparalleled. She kept us abreast of everything, all the way to the final close. From her marketing strategy to coordinating a special realtor open house, her approach is targeted and standards elevated. She handled every detail of the sale of our home no matter how large or small. Niloo really came through for us at the end. We had a very short window to get all buyer repairs completed. Using her connections, Niloo met with all tradespeople and got repairs completed in 4 days to clear all buyer contingencies. Her 32 years of experience, connections and her relationships with other top brokers really helped close the deal. Niloo is a true professional, resilient, savvy and exactly the REALTOR® you need in your corner."

"Niloo Shams is the best realtor I have ever worked with. She worked within our budget and found a plethora of properties for us to check out and narrow down. This was especially helpful because we were working remotely from another state. We met with her twice to look at homes and were very impressed with her knowledge of the desert area and her level of professionalism. Together, we figured out where we wanted to live in the desert. Niloo‘s communication skills are excellent, and her enthusiasm is contagious. Niloo always picked us up from our hotel on time in her luxurious, comfy car with water for everyone. Once we decided on a home, we found Niloo‘s negotiating skills to be excellent. We got the home that we wanted for the price we asked for. The process was extremely smooth thanks to Niloo’s diligence and professionalism. We found more than a real estate agent in Niloo. We found a lifetime friend."

"Niloo was fabulous! We have worked with agents buying and selling homes and found Niloo to be among the best we have worked with. Her knowledge of the local market is outstanding and was able to communicate clearly our position in the Indian Wells market. Niloo's experience within the market allowed us to price our home competitively and sell it quickly while maximizing our return. The photography and the video Niloo orchestrated was great and made our listing stand out from all the other listings. Additionally, the brochure she prepared for interested buyers was a wonderful presentation of our home. Additionally, Niloo was an excellent communicator and was very responsive. What impressed me the most was Niloo was not shy about asking for the offer and was great during the negotiations. Thankfully, she also sought out backup offers on the house, which was needed in this transaction. If you are interested in buying or selling a home in Coachella Valley, I would highly recommend you use Niloo Shams."

"Listing our home with Niloo was the best decision we could have made when selling our home. From the moment we listed our property until the day we closed escrow, she was a true professional who was extremely responsive throughout the entire process and worked tirelessly to sell our property. She took her fiduciary obligation to heart, always looking out for our best interests, marketing our property to high end buyers, avoiding a laborious open house process, and selling our home in one day for well over the listing price. Her extensive knowledge of Indian Wells and her private network of potential buyers enabled her to find the cash buyer in what turned out to be a seamless and stress-free experience. If you are considering buying or selling a home in Indian Wells and the surrounding area, Niloo should be the only realtor you should call. Simply put, she is the best!"

"I first met Niloo in 2005 when we gave her the task of finding the perfect vacation home, which she did, and we enjoyed it for 16 years. We reached out to Niloo 16 years later to sell our vacation home; she was spot on with timing and price. Niloo exceeded our expectations each time we worked with her. We highly recommend her, as she goes above and beyond. We will be using her again to find a next vacation home in the Coachella Valley."

"Niloo is a consummate real estate professional! Her vast experience allowed the process of selling our home to seem effortless, start to finish! Niloo has a sterling reputation that is very well deserved. She was very knowledgeable about the market, so we never felt like we were guessing as to our home's value. She could not have been more attentive in all aspects of the sale, from being a classy, masterful negotiator to making sure everything went smoothly through escrow. I could not recommend her more highly!"

"What a wonderful realtor and lovely person! When we first met with Niloo, we had a very specific list of things we were looking for in our Indian Wells vacation home search, which meant a limited group of homes requiring patience and an eagle eye in a very tight market. Over the course of 9 months, she’d send us links that were 98 percent fits, truly understanding our vision. Then the 100 percent fit appeared, and hours later, we had an offer in. What’s quite stunning is that this home was listed on a Friday evening, and she dropped whatever she was doing to draft our offer. She deftly negotiated our proposal and streamlined a 2-week close, with inspections. We don’t live locally, so she was also incredibly helpful in providing us with a list of recommended tradespeople and stores to get us settled into the new home. Throughout our time working with her, she was immediately responsive via text and phone, graciously answering quick questions or managing complex requests. A home run (pun intended)!"
