Jose Padilla Associate Broker, Realtor

I am a 23 year seasoned real estate professional with 200+ closed transactions to date throughout the SF Bay Area. I began my real estate career as a loan officer in 2003 at Ameriquest Mortgage Company so I can help demystify home lending process for you as needed.

From 2010 until 2013 I moved to Madrid, Spain but my love for the Bay Area and my family could keep me away no longer. My experience living abroad has given me a unique perspective on what makes California, but more importantly, Silicon Valley so extraordinary. I will be happy to share with you.

Although fond of mortgage lending, in 2014 I dove into the Realtor side of the business, and hit the ground running! And in 2018 I was awarded a top 1% negotiator award, from Homelight! A prestigious distinction.

I cultivate relationships with my clients through education, asking the right questions and by leveraging my network. I attribute my success by knowing how to determine a clients´ underlying needs through empathic listening, merging them with a clients´ means, to achieve the ultimate, tailored solution for every situation.

I have an open door policy so feel free to ask me any questions or tell me a little bit about your scenario to see how I can help you.

Wajiha Tareen Agent, Realtor

"Try not to become a person of success, but rather a person of value." Albert Einstein.

I try to live by that everyday- what value am I providing my family, my friends and my clients? How can I make their day better, what can I do to provide service?

As a mother of three and a fitness enthusiast, I wake up with an energy to conquer everyday and be the best version of myself. Fulfillment for me lies in helping others achieve their goals and that is in its own is a process of self learning and development.

I grew up the first 14 years of my life in Southern California in Bermuda Dunes, a small city in Palm Springs. My father is a gynecologist who practiced at JFK Memorial Hospital in Indio, California. My parents decided to move back to Pakistan where our roots are to help the less fortunate and try and improve medical care in a third world country. My parents have always instilled in me to always give back to our community and to those around us.

I'm a natural people person. I love talking and learning about whomever I meet. Each person I come across in life has had some sort of impact on me. I learn everyday and try to bring as much value to those around me.

Pavleen Kaur Agent

My real estate journey began with my love for exploring beautiful houses. What now fuels my dedication further is the desire to guide people through the intricate process of buying their dream home or selling their beloved abode for a new opportunity. If there are two things that I pride myself on, they are my knack for identifying great deals by analyzing numbers and my unwavering commitment to thoroughness. Consider me your patient guiding hand, unraveling the complexities of the real estate journey while making the experience enjoyable as we work together towards your dream.

Beyond property transactions, I'm a health enthusiast, engaging in workouts, particularly my beloved calorie-burning activities: swimming, jumping rope, and Bharatnatyam - an Indian Classical Dance. I have been learning Bharatnatyam since I was a child, and it has taught me invaluable life skills such as discipline, strength, persistence, stability, and balance. These skills have seamlessly translated into my professional life, enabling me to approach real estate with dedication and precision.

As we journey together through the twists and turns of real estate, let's also share the delights of California living. If you're ready to explore your real estate dreams with a knowledgeable, enthusiastic guide who brings a touch of personal flair to the journey, I'm here for you. Let's connect, explore, and realize your real estate dreams!

Why NextHome Lifestyles?

As a NextHome office, we share a common culture that is focused on improving the lives of our clients through the sale of residential real estate, because we know how important homeownership is for building wealth, independence, and security. And, since real estate transactions typically only occur several times within our client’s lifetimes we are aware of our responsibility to be that much more sensitive to their needs during the process, always looking for innovative ways to improve the efficiency of the transaction because we realize that our clients value both certainty and convenience when buying or selling real estate. We further stand out from our competition since we seek to be considered as an invaluable resource to our clients not only during the transaction but long after the sale closes. We take the responsibility of ensuring the comfort and convenience of our clients very seriously as we are committed to providing support to our clients throughout the cycle of homeownership. We choose to focus on the people we serve, not just the houses we sell.


“When we launched NextHome Lifestyles, we wanted to offer an office culture passionate about raising the bar of customer service beyond mediocrity, never willing to settle for what’s always been done, but rather, focused on finding new ways to exceed our clients expectations.”
