About Simon Sahi
Simon Sahi is a former professional athlete and Silicon Valley homeowner who plays real estate the way he played sports: all-in. Relentless preparation, honest information fast, and a winning strategy for buyers and sellers — from $1 million to $20 million.
The short version
Before real estate, Simon competed as a professional athlete. That is where the work ethic comes from — the early mornings, the preparation, the refusal to lose on effort. He brought all of it to Silicon Valley real estate, and it shows in how he works: first to respond, deepest in the details, last to leave a negotiation.
Today he is a Top 1% performing agent and local homeowner representing buyers and sellers across the Peninsula — from first condos to $15 million estates. What hasn’t changed is the standard: every client gets the best of his knowledge, immediately, so they can make the best decision fast in one of the most competitive markets in the country.
The athlete’s edge
Talent matters. But at the highest level, preparation and intensity win. Here is what carried over from Simon’s athletic career into every transaction he runs.
Discipline one
Athletes don’t wing game day. Simon doesn’t wing your purchase or sale either — every home is researched, every offer is built on comparable sales, every listing is prepared before it launches. The outcome is decided before the competition starts.
Discipline two
Out-prepared and out-hustled isn’t a slogan; it’s the schedule. Fast callbacks, extra tours after hours, constant communication — clients consistently describe him as the hardest-working agent they have ever met.
Discipline three
Multiple offers, appraisal gaps, a closing managed from 2,000 miles away — that’s the fourth quarter. Calm, decisive and relentless until the outcome is won, no matter how heated the moment gets.
Discipline four
In his own words: developing a winning strategy and keeping your eye on the ball. Every client gets a plan — not a process — built around what winning means for them: highest price, best price, fastest close, smoothest move.
Luxury track record
From Los Altos Hills estates to architecturals across the Peninsula, Simon has represented some of the region’s most significant properties — with results that speak for themselves.
Los Altos Hills estate — 6 bedrooms, 7 baths, over 7,100 square feet. A featured Simon Sahi Homes listing.
Los Altos Hills — 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, 4,515 square feet. A featured Simon Sahi Homes listing.
Los Altos — 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, sold. A featured Simon Sahi Homes sale.
“The accepted offer price was 250K+ over asking and the quality of work Simon provided was superior.” — Isaac Mason, seller (Zillow)
“Simon sold my luxury condo while I lived 2,000 miles away… He even negotiated a cash offer above the asking price.” — Martin Israel, seller (Zillow)
What sets him apart
This is the part he insists on: the price tag never changes the effort. Whether you are buying your first condo or selling a $10 million estate, here is what every client gets.
One
A $1 million buyer gets the same intention, knowledge and intensity as a $10 million seller. Meticulous is the standard — not the upgrade.
Two
No drip-feed, no jargon, no waiting days for answers. You get everything he knows, right away, so you can decide with your eyes open.
Three
Silicon Valley moves in hours, not weeks. Simon front-loads the research — comps, disclosures, neighborhood intel — so that when the moment comes, your decision is quick and confident.
Four
Every property and every neighborhood gets the honest treatment: what’s great, what’s not, what it means for resale. Judgment you can’t get from a listing — and he’d rather talk you out of the wrong home than into it.
Five
The one-on-one conversation, the careful notes, the follow-ups most agents skip — because the advice is only as good as the understanding behind it.
Six
He’s been the new buyer. He’s been the seller. This isn’t just another transaction — he takes it to heart, and clients feel the difference in every interaction.
Why it matters
Simon bought and sold homes himself before he ever represented anyone. He knows the nerves before a first offer, the stress of escrow, the weight of the biggest check you will ever write — because he has lived it. That is why he treats every client’s move like his own: the urgency, the honesty, the refusal to let a single detail slide. This isn’t just another deal to him. It never was.

Questions
Yes. Before real estate, Simon competed as a professional athlete — and he credits the sport with his work ethic: preparation, discipline, and performing under pressure. Clients see it in the fast responses, the deep research, and the way he competes for every outcome, at every price point.
No — and that is the point he makes most often. Whether it is a $1 million condo or a $10 million estate, every client gets the same intensity, the same information and the same standard. The process never gets thinner at lower prices.
Fast. Clients mention it constantly in reviews — texts answered within minutes, extra tours after hours, steady updates through escrow. In a market that moves in hours, responsiveness is not a bonus; it is the job.
Yes. Every property and neighborhood gets an honest pros-and-cons briefing: location quirks, resale considerations, what the disclosures really say. Simon would rather talk you out of the wrong home than into it.
The Peninsula and Silicon Valley — from San Mateo and Redwood City through Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Cupertino, Sunnyvale and Mountain View. He is a local homeowner himself.
