About Nisha
Local roots. Sharp strategy.
I’m a Compass real estate agent based in Palo Alto, representing buyers and sellers of luxury and residential properties throughout the Peninsula and greater Bay Area. My clients range from first-time buyers and growing families to investors and seasoned homeowners, and whether I’m helping someone find and negotiate the right home or positioning a property for the strongest possible sale, I bring the same approach: preparation, strategy, honesty and representation that puts my client’s interests first.
One of my specialties is working with technology professionals, founders and executives whose real estate decisions often coincide with major financial milestones such as an IPO, lock-up expiration, acquisition or other liquidity event. I understand the timelines, I speak the language, and I work alongside my clients’ financial and tax advisors to make sure each purchase or sale fits into the bigger financial picture.

Client stories
Why clients call me back
“She never pressured us to make a decision. She took the time to understand what was important to us — and helped us find a wonderful home in a fantastic neighborhood that we truly love.”
“We always felt she was looking out for our best interests. She brings a rare combination of expertise, patience, integrity, and genuine care — and we couldn't be happier with the home she helped us find.”
“A genuine friendship.”
We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Nisha to find our home. What started as a realtor-client relationship has turned into a genuine friendship.
Our home search took over a year, and throughout the entire process, she was incredibly patient, thoughtful, and supportive. She never pressured us to make a decision or tried to steer us toward a particular home. Instead, she took the time to understand what was important to us, helped us carefully evaluate the pros and cons of each property, and gave us the perspective we needed to make the right decision for our family.
One of the things that really stood out was how much she went above and beyond. When we needed bridge financing while selling our other home, she helped connect us with the right resources and made what could have been a very stressful situation much easier to navigate.
Ultimately, she helped us find a wonderful home in a fantastic neighborhood — one that we truly love. And her support didn't stop after we closed. She recommended excellent providers who helped us make upgrades to the home and get settled in.
