Asante Real Estate

I highly recommend Asanta Real Estate. My husband and I are first time home buyers and Audrey, Carey, and Monica made the entire proccess feel seamless. We worked primarily with Audrey, but on the rare occassion that Audrey was unavailable, Carey and Monica were always available to answer any questions that we had (and still are). From the start, the Asante team listened to our requirements for the type of home we wanted. They showed us a few homes before we found our dream home but we never felt pressured for time at any of our meetings or at any home showings. When we found our dream home, Audrey explained the entire process and truly seemed to have our best interest in mind. We had so many questions and, in hindsight, we’d often asked the same questions several times in trying to understand the process, but she was very patient and answered every question thoroughly every time. Asante helped us through every step of the home buying process: showing us homes, making an offer, negotiations, inspections, closing, and remodels. Audrey is an incredible negotiator and was able to negotiate for more than we expected. All the while, she was so nice to work with.
Their professionalism goes beyond helping us purchase the house. They would schedule meetings with contractors for us and help us get estimates. We never had to take any time off of work as they would meet inspectors and contractors at the house and obtain estimates on our behalf. They were even helpful with the details of some of the upgrades we wanted to make – Audrey came with us to pick out tiles early Saturday morning since the process was so new to us.
Most of all, we’re grateful that they helped us see the value in the home. There were a few homes we considered making offers on, but they provided us with enough guidance to help us understand when homes were overpriced. We have ended up with a house that not only met all of our requirements, but is more than we hoped for and at a price that we’re comfortable with.

As first time homebuyers, we were so grateful to have Audrey Sutton as our realtor. She took the time to explain the process to us, from finding a home that fit our needs through the closing process. With such a large financial commitment, we were fortunate to have a realtor who put our interests first. We never felt any pressure to move forward unless we were comfortable and always felt that we could approach Audrey with our questions and concerns. She was always patient and ready with honest feedback.
Audrey, Carey, and Monica fulfill their promise of full service at a fair price. Audrey worked with the seller and negotiated a better deal than we anticipated. During our transactions, we had an extremely difficult time with the lender we were working with. Audrey argued on our behalf to ensure that the lender gave us the treatment we deserved. She also worked extremely well with the seller, which made the process a smoother one for us. She took the time and went through the contracts and associated paperwork and ensured that we were comfortable with the commitment we were making.
We could always count on Audrey to return our phone calls and emails in a timely manner. Even when she was out of the office, she had a trusted member of her team answer our questions so that there was no delay.
We highly recommend Audrey Sutton to anyone selling or purchasing a home. With such an important transaction, you can count on her to be by your side throughout the entire process.

Be careful of working with this firm! They promise one thing and then retract it. They did this to me (specifically Audrey Shilling) and also strung me out, not returning my calls or emails for long periods of time. They exhibited unethical, unprofessional behavior and I will never work with this firm again. I feel very taken advantage of.

Asante Real Estate is the best real estate firm I ever worked with, and I will continue to recommend Audrey, Carey, and Monica for any real estate transaction. They are honest, professional, friendly and solid negotiators and extremely pleasant to work with. They are also excellent at calming their clients down when they are stressed out and actually care about them. I look forward to working with Asante for many years to come!

Audrey was our Realtor for relocating us from Minnesota to San Jose. The market is so vast and different than the midwest we really needed her expertise. She had a great attitude showing us a large territory of neighborhoods so we could understand which ones were the most family oriented for our daughters. Once we chose our neighborhood, she patiently took us through many homes to help us understand the value of each home so when we found our favorite we were ready to purchase.
She has a pleasant attitude but don’t let her fool you, she is tough as nails when it comes to negotiating which we really appreciated. She wants her clients to get the best possible deals.
And we have also used 4 different of her favorite vendors for the repairs we have needed on our 103 year old home we purchased. Everyone is personable, easy to work with and performs quality work.
In addition to Audrey, she has an excellent support team of Realtors that she works with. .. her parents. They are also kind and very hard working and it was nice to see such a family friendly team. And yet, they were extremely professional, too. They make a fantastic team.

My wife and I sold our house this year in what is a highly unusual real estate market. We have dealt with lots of realtors in the past, but non quite as professional as Audrey Sutton Shilling at Asante. They are a third of the price of other realtors and they give six times better service. She knows the market and the areas she works extremely well. I would not hesitate to use Audrey and her team again and would highly recommend her firm to anyone.

A friend referred me to Audrey, and I came away impressed. She was instrumental in facilitating my purchase.
Audrey was super helpful, and full of great suggestions. She has great knowledge about the market, and was invaluable during the contract negotiations. She’s also very good about responding to emails and calls, but I found the former a faster response as she returns calls during specific hours of the day.
One of the best things, other than her sunny personality, is the rebate offer. If you source the property you buy, you receive part of their sales commission. And after buying a home, the money does come in handy!
Because I was a referral, I know Audrey is sincere when she says she take care of the referrals you send her way!
