Harv Balu
I spent 15 years in tech before I sold a single house, and that background still runs everything I do. I read the data, I build the systems, and I give you the straight answer even when it isn't the one you wanted. Plenty of agents will tell you what you want to hear — I'd rather be the one who tells you what's true.
I live in Milpitas and I'm raising three kids here, so the cities I work are the same ones I drive through every day: Fremont, Newark, Union City, Hayward, Milpitas, San Jose, Sunnyvale, Pleasanton, and Dublin. I know which streets flood, which schools fill up, and what a fair price looks like on a given block. Most of my clients are first-time buyers and tech families moving across the Bay; I also handle investment property, 1031 exchanges, and buyers coming from overseas through my CIPS designation. First home or fifth, I run the numbers before you fall for a place, not after.
I'm with Realty Experts out of the Fremont office (CA DRE 02195792), I hold the GRI, CIPS, FTBS, and PSA designations, and I was the brokerage's Rising Star in 2024. I speak English, Hindi, and Punjabi. When I'm not working I'm usually behind a camera or out in the garden fixing something that broke. Call or text me at (510) 600-3425 and you get a person, not a queue.
Serving Fremont, Newark, Union City, Hayward, Milpitas, San Jose, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Pleasanton, Dublin, and Gilroy.
Tools, not gimmicks
Real numbers before you call me
Most of what you want to know, you can check yourself right here. A home valuation done by a person, Bay Area calculators, monthly city reports, a chart to compare towns, neighborhood guides, and live listing search. No login wall, no obligation. Run the numbers first — if you want a second set of eyes after that, that's what I'm for.
Home value What's your place actually worth A free valuation I prepare by hand from recent comps on your street, plus what your house has that they didn't. Not a Zestimate guessing from satellite photos — a real number with the reasoning behind it. Get my value → Run the math Bay Area calculators Mortgage payment, affordability, property tax, closing costs, and equity. Built with local tax and rate numbers, so the answer matches a Fremont reality, not a national average. Open calculators → Local data Market reports by city Inventory, new listings, what's gone pending, and a plain-English read on what it means for you. I refresh them monthly, so you're not working off last spring's numbers. Read the reports → Compare fast Interactive market snapshot Toggle cities on one chart. See where inventory is climbing and how Newark stacks up against Milpitas or San Jose, all without opening eight tabs. Compare cities → Know the area East Bay & South Bay city guide Walk through the neighborhoods before you walk through a house. Compare commute, schools, and the feel of a street side by side — good for narrowing things down before you spend a Saturday driving around. Explore the guide → Find a home Search every active listing Every active listing with live daily rates, so the payment you see is today's, not last week's. Set an alert and you'll hear about a new place the morning it lists, not after the open-house signs go up. Start searching →

I was fortunate to get to work with Harvinder Balu to sell my house. His knowledge of the market, using social media and guiding sellers led to a great outcome.

Harvinder Balu is very honest and experienced. He helped us buy our first house. Harvinder went above and beyond to secure the best affordable price possible. He was transparent and honest throughout the entire process. I recommend choosing him as a Realtor.

Grab the home valuation, the city reports, whatever's useful. There's no fee and no commitment, and I won't pester you afterward. If it turns into a conversation later, good. If it doesn't, you still got the numbers.
When you want a person on the other end, I'm at (510) 600-3425. Call or text, I read both.
